This body is a hundred and twenty

talent in the line of public speaking.
Their first subject is well chosen. It
is “Consolidation,” arguments for and
against. Here is a text for the affirm-
atives. Caesar was a strong believer in
consolidation. He said “The world
should be free. I believe in miity, not
partition. I mean to build, not to di-
vide. My heart sinks when I see the
world divided into nations of which I
would make om: nation.”
Rev. Mr. Selleck has recently had
placed in his hands a highly interest—

A very serious and regretable un-
pleasantncss broke out in the colored
chapel on Knight street, ycrterday at
the conclusion of the morning service,
and had not Chief DeForest been sent
for to maintain order, it is feared
that our colored friends would so far
have forgotten themselves and the pro-
prietics of the place and the day, as to
have inaugurated an incipient riot.
The difficulty arose from the parson at-
tempting to depose the superintendent
of the Sunday school and that officer’s
refusal to obey the clerical discharge
and determination to “hold the fort,”
as he expressed it, “at all hazards.”
During the heat of the contest, one
much excited sister called out to Chief
DeForest to lay both pastor and super-
intendent across his knees and to “give
’em boife a right sweet spanking.” Up
to date the superintendent “holds the
fort.” ' '

Cur town has been filled with rumors
for several days past that the Simonds
Mfg. Co. were in difficulty. One
rumor sscrts that its chief capitalist
stockholder had withdrawn from the
firm; another that a trusted officer of
the company had defaulted and still
another that the l.)usi11ess had proved
unprofitable ever since its departure
from Norwalk and in consequence it
was curtailing expenses and that 18
moulders and as many helpers were
discharged last week. The GAZETTE
has not been able to trace these rumors
to any very relial.)le source.

warning, that they may be on their
guard and whatever they may do. that
they had better not stir up our friend
Scolield, too incautiously. As the
three thousand, who nightly purchase
the'DAILr Gaznnrn know,there are dogs
and dogs, and cats and cats, and then
more eats, all over Norwalk. Yester-
day, while the family were all at
church, and no one left about his quiet
and luxurious domicil on Belden
avenue, and no eye to see save the Ar—
gus eyes of the GAZETTE reporter, our
friend, being a large advertiser in the
bright little GAZETTE, with its 3,000
daily circulation, and thus assured of a'
profitable trade, and being “at peace
with all the world and the rest of man—
kind,” as President Taylor expressed it
in his famous message, he essayed a
pro-meridian nap, before the returning
church goers should break in upon his
repose. He had scarcely settled down
into his big easy chair, when the spit-
ting and yowing of ten million cats, (as
it seemed to him,) broke forth on his
front stoop. In an instant he darted
out on the piazza, revolver in hand,
blood in his eye and every hair on his
head as bolt upright as the fur on the
lithe spines of the felines. - There were
black cats, white cats, striped cats,
spotted cats, grey cats, tortoise shell
cats, maltese cats, brindle cats and
gaged in a terrific Sabbath-broaking
concert. It was only the Work of an
instant. The revolver was pointed and
several volleys fired in quick success-
ion. Some of the cats stood their
ground and looked defiantly in his face,
others scampered off the stoop and cast
back their contemptuous stare, and one
old tabby retreated to his hyacinth bed
and put its fore paw up to its nose in a
most provoking and impudent way.
This was more than our excited marks-
man could bear. He resolved he
would 'kill or at least maim that eat if
he had not hit any of the others. He
would, or perish in the attempt. Soho
blazed away at old tabby on the posy
bed, and at every shot old tabby merely
winked and grinned amost tantalizing—
ly derisive grin, and never budgcd an
inch. Our friend having fired his last
cartridge, retreated into the house, but
not to sleep. He reflected that while
he was somewhat of a hustler in selling
dry goods, and might hit a bear, he
must make the mortifying admission
that he couldn’t hit a cat.

The letter of ex-President Cleveland,
denouncing the free silver bill. which
recently passed the Senate, and which
is now before the House, attracts at the
Capital fully as much comment as the
famous tariff message of thr ‘o years

is universally agreed among the Dem-

Eastern Democrats and one or two
pronounced Cleveland men, that Mr:
Cleveland has placed himself, by his
