LIBRARY LEI'TI'Rl-I COURSE.
We are pleased to note that the oppor-
tunity to again be entertaimd by a well
selected course of entertainments, got-
ten up by the Mutual Improvement So-
ciety of this city. is a fixed fact. This
society has. during its existence. furnish-
ed many intellectual feasts. which have
been most thoroughly enjoyed by those
whose good fortune put them in the way
of being one of the entertained : but the
programme for this winter promises to
climax all former onm. ‘
A course at six entertainments will be
given. commencing on the evening of
November 9th. with a lecture by the
Rev. Dr. .1. 1!. Vincent. said to be one of
the must eloquent and interesting speak,-
ersiof the day. Dr. Vincent will be fol-
lowed at intervals of about four weeks.
with readings. music. recitations. ctc..
bot-h serious and humonome. but all
instructive and entertaining. by gentle-
men of the highest talent. or. to use a
theatrical expression. “stars“ in their
respective lines.
Tickets for the course can be secured
at Mr. I‘laistcd‘s Norwalk or South Nor-
walk drug stores. or of Mr. Franklin A.
Tolles. or of either of the members of
the society. It is hoped that course tick-
ets for these entertainments will meet
with a ready and largo sale, as the net
profit of the course will be presented to
the Library and Reading Ilooiii .\ ssocia-
tion. for the purchase of books. periodi~
cals, etc.
The Congregational Society has ltiiid~
ly tlllt‘l‘t‘il the use of their church for this
lecture course. thus saving hall rent and
adding much to the benefit of the I.ibra~

some larger haven, which no doubt
the young ladies themselves can origis

I had in mind to make mention of a
young ladies Guild. The time of year is
dravving near when a great deal of good
could be done. and there is urgent need
of it on every hand. But this mat-
ter we will leave for some future time.
One thing. my dear young ladies, let me
say in bringing this to a close.-—go
ahead now, and whatever line best meets
your approval, Uncle John stands ready
to help you carry it forward.
Make a beginning now, and with a lit-
tle effort and work. you certainly will
bring about some pleasure and happiness
for others, and at the same time get en-
joy-merit. and an honored name for your-
selves. and bring much good to bear up
on the welfare of our city.

The l‘ncuiiiatic Gun.
The N. Y. Sun of Monday. in an
editorial upon the pneumatic gun. which
is opt-rated by air .couipresscd by the
compressors manufactured at the Iron
Works this city. says:
"The chief point dt‘lllOllSIralttl by the
trial of the new dynamite gun at Fort
Lafayette last week is that the heaviest
charges of high explosives can be safely
lllt'tl. with compressed air as the pro-
pelling power. The shell used did not
burst. owing to s iiiic fault in the
arrangements for producing an cxplo~
sion when the'shell plunged into the
Water: lint a ltm~poiind projectile was
successfully thrown from the gun.
The pneumatic gun. after attracting
much attciitioii when first tried at Fort
ll.itiiilioii. was partly eclipsed by expuri~
iiiciiis withordinary powder guns. in
which dynamite shells of small calibre
were successfully fircd \vith light
chargcs. Such shells were used at Port
Lobos by Gen. Kelton. the gun being a
tlirm -iiicli rifle. and each shell contain-
ing seven ounces of dynamite. The first
projecting charge was a quarter pound
of common powder. the second was
half a pound. the third a pound. the
regular service charge. and this blew
the gun to pieces. .\t Annapolis expen-

Our Library.
In last week‘s article we appealed to
the young men to help build up our li-
brary. We now bring the same. ques~
tion to the young ladies.
It is too bad that South .\‘orwalk has
no Barnum. like Bridgeport; has no
Hoyt, like Stamford; has no White. like
Danbury; has no Inu'bury. like Ridge—
flcld. If it did have one. or a few such

not find us without a single place for a
young man. young woman. or stranger.
to spend an hour. or an evening. except
at a hotel or in some saloon. It is a
shame. Young ladies. will you step for~
ward and fill this place. that Iias so long
remained vacant? We do not mean to
say that no one shows any interest in
the welfare of our city, and expresses no
desire for public improvement. We cer-
tainly have a few among us. or else we
would have bad no library building. no
fire department. no sidewalks. no fire
alarm, and no "parti “ sewer system.
,\ We have nbo in our midst men who
could fill the bill—carry out the full
programme. put things into motion.
They have the means and the influence
to accomplish just what is needed. ‘But.

The happy idea had been broached of

but on the second trial was rent to
fragments. possibly because its calibre
had been enlarged for the purpose of
this experiment. Iii foreign countries
also dynamite in small quantities was
fired in shells.
It became evident that the pneumatic
gun. if it intended to lioid its own. must
aim at something more than firing
fifteen and seventeen pounds of dyna-
iiiitc. as hitherto. Its clumsy length
and truss and its compressing apparatus
would put it at a disadvantage for Ilt‘ld
work. compared with the ordinary
powder guns. if the latter can be safely
used with projectiles asheavy. lint a
new eight-inch tube was constructed.
sixty feet long and an inch thick. and
a shell prepared. consisting of 1in
pounds of explosive gelatino with a few
pounds of dynamite. contained in a
copper case :1} feet long. This pro~
jectile. which had the doublcarrange-
merit for exploding by concussion at
the apex and also by electric fuses at
the base on becoming wet. was the one
successfully fired by Lieut. Zilinski on
Thursday; and since this amount of
explosive gelatine can be safely eni-
ployed. there is no reason why the
quantity should not be doubled.
\\'hile this important point has been
established. the limits of the pneumatic
gun are also apparent. On Thursday
the propelling power was air. at about
one thousand pounds pressure. The
gun was eleVated at an angle of thirteen
degrees. and the distance covered by
the shot was between a mile and a mile
and a quarter. Just before. a solid
conical shot of two hundred pounds
had. at an angle of thirty degrees. been
thrown 2.220 yards. It is evident that
thus far the weapon has only been used
with high charges. at ranges compara‘
lively short for modern ordnance. , \Var
vessels might be beyond the range (if
the pneumatic guns and bombard the
port containing them. Still. with all
its limitations. the new weapon would
seem even now to haven use in forti-
fications where its apparatus for Ctllllr
pressing air can he established. It is
evident, also that with perfected appa-
ratus a much higher pressure of air
could be had, so that the range of the
gun could perhaps be increased to nearly
three miles.
The New l‘nlon Hut Label.
At the commencement of next season
the new L'nion Label will be issued to
all manufacturers who may desire to
use it. and we have heard it stated inci-
dentally that union men or fair men will
no‘ be permitted to work for any firm
or manufacturer who does not use the
label. This statement, however, is not
likely to be true,for it is known that the
majorit of the members of the Finish~
ers and akers’ Association are opwed
to any such radical measure. There are
a few extremists in these associations.
as there are in almost evei association.
who would no doubt techiighly elated
if such a regulation were put in force,
but if they proposed any such regulation
they would be very quickly disposed of.
Hanufacturers are at perfect liberty to
either use the label or not. just as they
feel dis . It will not ooet them any-
thing to use it. and if they decline they
will not be thought anything less of.
We were shown a copy of the label a
few days ago. It is very neatly gotten
up. his circular in form, and a little
over an inch in diameter, with two con-
centric circles about oue-eighth of an
inch apart from the outer edge, and be-
tween them the words, “The United
Hatters of North America.” In the cen-
tre of the label there is a design of a
globe with the stars and stripes draped
on each side of it. and at the button
there is an engravin of two hands clasp-
ed. Over the tape the globe are the

not have much the to sit down and
at mains ' a“ in
n tiona have been taken
to prevent any counterfeiting of it, and
all the necessary legal steps have been
taken to prevent any persons from us-
in it who are not entitled to its use. It
wi I. we understand. be registered in the
name of one of the South Nor-walk 00s
operative hat companies. The commit~
tee having the matter in charge were
informed by an eminent lawyer that it
could not be issued in the name of the
Hatters‘ Associations. hence the substi-
tution of the Norwalk company.
The presidents of the two National As-
sociations have the matter in charge,
and it is quite likely that they will in a
few weeks begin the printing and dis-
tributing of the labels. The secretary of
each local Association will receive a cer-
tain amount of them. and then he will
in turn send them to the stewards of the
shops in his district or vicinity. This
will be the means of giving the national
and local secretaries considerable extra
work and correspondence. but no doubt
they will be amply compensated by the
thought that they are doing a great work,
and are helping the sale of union made
goods. This union label business is in
some. sense an experiment, and every-
y seems to be anxious to ascertain
how it will work. Some people believe
that it will be the means of making all
shops fair. Others believe that it will
be a panacea for all the ills that the
average hatter is heir to. while there are
a few who do not believe in its efficacy
at all. and cannot see that there is any
necessity for its use. The future alone
will decide.
Some of the manufacturers in New
York and Brooklyn will. no doubt. make
use of it. and there is no manufacturer
who will decline to use it. if he thinks
that it will increase the stile of his goods.
or that the fact of it not being on his
hats has a tendency to lessen his sales.
It will be a question of dollars anti cents.
It will take several months to decide
whether this departure in the batting
trade will be a benefit or not. or whether
it will be the means of making all shops
in the coniitry lain—Hatter and barrier.
“'llliiun Lloyt Garrison.
Yesterday was the fiftieth anniversary
of the Boston mob of 1838 Col. lIig«
ginson says:
"The fiftieth anniversary of the “Garri-
son mob“ of October :31. 1835. will revive
the memory of the great reformatory
leader who was, on that day. dragged
through the streets of Boston with a rope
round his neck. and was saved only by
committing him to jail. This nation
has seen mobs far more formidable. in
a merely military sense. than that:
indeed the antislavery agitation itself
saw greater. in one of which Lovejoy
lost his life. The peculiarity of the
Boston mob. beyond all others that ever
' took place upon our soil. was that it
enlisted the most cultivated and respect
able class in a conservative city against
a cause now generally admitted to have
been that of truth and right: arousing
moreover such aburst of unreasoiiing
violence that the mayor thought it
necessary to disperse a meeting of wo-
men. and to cause the sign of a “Female
AntiSlavery Society" to be taken down
and thrown into the streets. Garrison
himself. the immediate victim. was a
non-combatant. being of the few men
who were faithful to the "non-resistant"
creed; and it was this t‘Onll‘lllil-kulllt‘n
and non-combatants on the one side.
and the classes that wear broadcloth on
the other—which gave to the whole
affair that element of moral pictures-
quciicss which is one of the very surest
guarantees of historic ys‘riiiancncef‘
