ren that she is strongly opposed to his

her husband was alive, and it is an

more ambitions for another four years

her spouse is to go back to the White

WHAT MISS SP|N§TER ,s'AYs:
‘ That men, Women and children can
profit by reading Dr. Tahnage’s ser-
mon in the Saturday GAZETTE.
That manners make the man. True
politeness is rapidly becoming in this
country one of the lost arts.
That the delightful places at this
moment are the fiorists’.
The touch of .
spring even in these blustering days of‘
this roaring month, is present, and
arouses in mankind a desire for Spring
blossoms. The favored young beauties
are not getting bunches of cut flowers ; _
the. bewitch ed young man sends an
azalea in glorious fi0wer or a nodding
stalk of daffodils all potted and grow-
ing, with the common jar set in ajardi-
niere as costly . nd beautiful as his
purse will buy.
That tailor made gowns can be worn
only by women who can walk grace-
fully. It is a notorious fact that few
women walk well. I might also add
that tailor made gowns can be worn
only by women who crn afford them.
That a reign of buttons is upon us.-
Gowns for early spring wear Show an ,
array of buttons that are bewildering.
If they are small they are almost count-
less, if they are large they are well
nigh priceless. Many of the coming
large buttons are works of art, in
Wedgwood china, old silver and gold,
and one fashionable women who seems
economy has had a set of small cameos 4
mounted for her, and human ingenuity
will be still further taxed for novelties.
That to become the picture of health
one must take exercise without fatigue,
amusement without excitement and
nourishment without stimulant. ’
That more brunettes marry than
blondes, hence blondes are year by

MY DEAR GENEEAL :—Permit me to
make through you the ackno wledgement
of my father’s family for the very many
warm tokens of condolence received by
us from the Posts of the Grand Army
of the Republic throughout the coun-
try. Knowing as we do how dear to
him was the Grand Army as a soldierly
brotherhood, calculated to transmit and
maintain the traditions of the war for
the Union, we are the more deeply
touched by the resolutions and marks
of condolence that pour upon 11s from
its many Posts throughout the States.
As it is impossible, in the press of nec-
essary business, to make a detailed ac-
knowledgement of all these communica-
tions. we beg you to aid us by transmit-
ting officially this the evidencemfo-f‘gur
'deep appreciation of each and every
token received from the Grand Army.
Ask them to accept the thanks of
General Sherman’s family for all the
loving tributes they have received from
their father’s beloved Comrades.
I remain yours very sincerely,
THOMAS E. SHERMAN.

the pressing needs of Norwalk, 1s

< 111ent reference, and space for 1t 1s

DAILY GAZETTE.
EDITOR GAZETTE:
Is it not possible to infuse some little
life into Norwalk’s social and athletic
circles ‘9 There seems to be an un-
healthy indifference among our people
in relation to these matters, and the
town to-day is dull and sleepy compar-
ed with other places less favored by
natural conditions than we are. I ap-
peal now for the Lawn Tennis Club.
This club should be supported, and
there are a great many gentlemen in
Norwalk and South Norwalk who could
give liberally and not feel the gift. Let
us have a Casino worthy of our town;
let us make this club a feature of our
social attractions, and .it will become
an important element in bringing to us
outside notice. A suitable Casino can
be built for about $1,500, and it will
cost $250 to properly fix up the grounds _;
the total amount needed is $1,800. Is
it not possible to raise such a sum ?
Our people should remember that the
town’s growth depends very largely
upon the attractions offered in a social
way to outsiders. Almost every little
town around us has some local social
feature—what have we ‘9 ,
I trust that .the Tennis Club will
abandon, for the present, the idea of
building a $600 house, and at once
make an appeal for a sightly Casino
and good grounds. Let the lady mem-
bers of the club in Norwalk and South
Norwalk start the subscription list, and
at least prove whether we have any en-
terprise in these matters.

E. S. Wilcoxson’s House Visited by
the Subtle Fluid.
Mrs. Wilcoxson Considerably Sur~
prised, but Not Shocked.
Last night, not far from 9:30. while
“the rain descended and the floods
came” and visions of a second deluge
disturbed the good citizens of Nor-
walk, a blinding flash and a terrific
crash startled everybody, the infer-
ence being quite logical that the bolt
had paid an unwelcome visit to some
point within the very heart of the bor-
ough. .'
This morning it was learned that the
house, No. 9 Berkeley street, owned by
Mr. George H. Raymond, and occu-
pied by Mr. Edgar S. Wilcoxson, had
been selected by Jove as the ob-
ject of his wrath. A DAILY GAzETTE
reporter visited the house and saw at a
glance the havoc wrought by the
stroke. The south side of the top of
the chimney was partly demolished and
a hole about a foot wide cut' through
the east side of the roof from the chim-
ney to the cave trough, a distance of
about fifteen feet. The inch boards
across the frame work, to which the
shingles are nailed were shattered and
bent but not charred, while the yard
on that side of the house was strewn
with debris—brick, shingles and bits of
broken board.
No damage was done to the interior
of the house, although the atmospheric
pressure in the chimney forced out the
chimney caps on the first and second
floors, filling the rooms with soot.
Mrs. \Vilcoxson was alone at the time
and was greatly startled but not injur-
ed in any respect. It seems that the
report and accompanying shock were
heard and felt by the néighbors more
than by her, All that prevented what
might have been a disastrous fire was
the fact that the roof had been well
soaked by the heavy rain, and every—
body concerned is to be congratu-
lated. ’ .

Dead lv'rom Fright.
There is a white—haired old Friend
living in Chester County whose face
wears an expression of deep sorrow
that seems graven there. Friends
who have known him for twenty-five
years have yet to see the first smile on
his broad, furrowed face. He is a
wonderfully benevolent and kind old
Quaker, especially to the colored peo-
ple, who come to him from miles
around for counsel and assistance.
There is a shadow on the old man’s
life of which few of his friends have
any idea. It was cast way back in war
times. His home’ had been a station
on the ”under-ground railway, ” and to
his home one bleak night came a
bright-eyed, ebony-skinned little run-
away of about 10 years. He was such
a quick-witted, chipper little chap that
the kind hearted Quaker concluded to
keep him to run errands and do chores
about the farm, especially as he plead-
ed so hard to be allowed to stay. It
was not long, however, until he devel- '
oped into the most incorrigibly mis-
chievous little darkey that ever came
out of slavery.
Pleadings, lectures and scolding-s had
no more effect on him than the whis-
tling of the winds through the trees.
A good birch switch would hold him in
checkvfor an hour or two, but this
reformation would disappear with the
sting. One day the Quaker went on a
railway journey and took the little
colored lad with him. On the road
was a long tunnel, and before they
reached it it Occurred to the Friend
that its terrors might be utilized in
bringing about a reformation in the
black bundle of mischief beside him.
So he said :
“Caesar, I have tried to befriend
thee, and you have given me only dis—
obedience and trouble in return. In-
gratitude is a black sin, and now I fear
thee must answer for 113.”
Just before they reached the tunnel
he rose and said gravely ; '
“Caesar, I leave thee to thy punish-
ment.”
The train dashed into the blackness
of the tunnel, with a shriek from the
locomotive like a triumphantfiend, and
when it emerged into the light, Caesar
was lying in a heap on the floor, be-
tween the seats. . They picked him up
tenderly.
The mischievous little darkey was
dead—[Philadelphia Press. .

Staub, the Comptroller, is very much
worked up ever the charge made
against him, that he has gone back on
his party by recognizing Morgan G.
Bulkeley as Connecticut’s Chief Exec-
utive. He says that there is no truth
in any of the assertions made in the
newspapers to this effect, and says most
emphatically that he does not recog-
nize Bulkeley as Governor, and says
that he would resign his office if
he had done so. He says that he is
with his party heart and soul .in refus-
ing to recognize Bulkel‘ey. Nothing
has come up, he says, as yet, which
makes him directly recognize or refuse
to recognize Bulkeley. But should he
be Called upon to come out squarely
against him in case an order from the
Governor should come directly to him.
he says that he should have eminent
counsel engaged for the emergency,
and will consult said counSel before
acting on any such matter.
