' Mr. Harrison’s Retirement.
In retiring from the Presidency Mr.
Harrison bears with him the respect of
his fellow citizens and their kindliest
wishes for his future welfare. He leaves
an official record honorable and reput-
able throughout.
He has discharged with zeal and fid-
elity the trusts reposed in him, not
alone in upholding the principles of
which he was elected as the chief ex-
ponent, but in consulting at every point
what he conceived to be the true inter-
ests of the people at large. Whether
always right or occasionally wrong, as
judged from dificrent standpoints, he
has pursued the even and dispassionate
tenor of his way without catering to
consideration of expediency in his own
behalf or losing balance in the pres-
ence of difficult responsibilities.
It was not a vote of want of confid-
ence in Benjamin Harrison, as a man
or President, by which he failed of re-
election; it was his re-nomination
against the wishes of the delegates and
.party leaders of those states that could
:give him their electoraljvote, together
with the placing on the ticket of a run-
:ning mate who was distasteful to every
labor union in the country, that rever-
sed the verdict of 1888.
Whatever results may be disclosed
by an analysis of the causes that
brought about the DemOcratic restora-
tion, the fact remains that President
Harrison, amidst all the burdens that
‘weighed upon him and through all the
ifactious conflicts that raged about him,
Jmaintaincd the dignity and exercised
the functions of his high office with
equanimity and courage, facing the
course of events as became a statesman
and patriot. '
In' the management of our foreign
affairs and the numerous delicate ques-
tions arising in connection therewith he

’Ma-yor ,Rhodu McGinnis Captures
Washington.
Home, Sweet Home.
Norwalk’s chosen delegate to the
Inauguration left ' Jersey City at
1.42 on‘Friday, by the B. 8: 0., and
was due in Washington at 7.30. His
train however, was so over crowded
with passengers all along the line that
it had to be divided and left Philadel-
phia in five divisions or sections. How
the news had spread that Mayor Me-
Ginni’s was on board and had so pre-
ceded him, to cause such \a rush_ and
jam of passengers for his train,‘is at
least remarkable. But Bhody. true to
his native instincts, was on the first
section to roll into the Washington de-
pot, whichit did at exactly one minute
past twelve at midnight. fie walked
out of his compartment car, clothed in
21 becoming suit of black broadcloth, a
high silk hat, and with all the grace
and dignity of an old school clerical
gentleman. The instant he struck the
depot platform the superb brass band
of the Philadelphia Invinciblcs that
had come over with him, struck up
"Hail to the Chief,” and the bosom of
no king of any efi‘cte monarchy of the
old world ever swelled With manlier
pride than did that of Bhody. ‘ Indeed,
his broad white satin badge, appropri-
ately printed in bright green ink, cov-
ering his honest bosom with the ampli-
tude of a liver-pad, fluttered an addi-
tional length to its gorgeous fringe by
the swelling and heaving and intense
throbbing of his proud heart.
As it was the Mayor’s custom to re-
tire early he was escorted, by a vast.
eager and curious crowd, to his sumpt-
uous quarters at the Hotel de Arthur,
where a rich folding bed in the front
parlor, had been secured and spread
for him and where, ” barrin’ the pure
white shates,” as he expressed it, as he
surveyed them with an interest verging
on curiosity and even suspicion, he
slept the sleep of the righteous to
awake Saturday morning to see one
of the fiercest snow cyclones of the
winter raging without. Nevertheless,
he trudged through the blinding snow
and sleet during the foren00n. to see
the Capitol,President’s Mansion,Treas-
ury,War, Navy and State Departments.
Tickets had been secured for him to
the Inaugural ceremonies within the
Capitol building, and to the great In-
augural Ball, in the vast Pension build-
ing at night. All of these he took in,
with that calm consideration and satis-
faction that clearly indicated that he
felt it to be a part of himself and noth-
ing but what he was entitled to asa
free and independent American citizen
and Norwalk’s favorite son and chosen
delegate.
A special printed invitation had been
sent him, by the committee of resident
citizens of Connecticut, to join them in
paying respects to our Governor Mor-
ris, who with his brilliantly adorned
staff, were tendered a reception Friday
evening at the parlors of the "Wimo-
daughsis Club.” Bbody arrived too
late, it is sad to relate, to honor him-
self and the governor and his staff at
their brilliant and largely attended re-
ception. That they‘all felt his absence
keenly is evident from the frequent in-
quiries of the Gaznrrn’s scribe as to
where he was and how soon he might
be expected to be there. No one seemed
more provokingly disappointed than
his old, aforetime friend and fellow
democrat, Albert Belyea, of the U. S.
Treasurer’s ofiice. .
This can scarce be called a lost op-
portunity for Rhody‘ though a disap-
pointment to others, for he had big-
ger fish to fry at the Inauguration next
day and it was well he reserved all his
strength therefor, as a vil’er day never
dawned on a Presidential Inaugura-
tion and Rhody knew'and felt that
nothing of importance could or would
be done until his arrival and active
participation. And this was true, for
although Maryland’s crack regiment
preceded his arrival .by a few moments
and the famed New York Seventh reg-
iment, (knowing its proper place in
line)a little later followed up in his
rear, there was no serious business con-
nected with the Inaugural essayed until
he arrived. and was on the ground.
Even both Houses of Congress ad-
journed as soon as he entered the Cap-
itol, which if not intended as a mark of
respe‘ctito him, looked most suspici-
ously like it.
The Mayor’s half closed eyes were
quick to see every new and novel thing
and his mother wit, served him for no
end of apt and comical remark. The
two things that seemed most to inter-
est him and excite his curiosity, were
the Capitol dome, inside and out, and
the Corcoran Art Gallery exhibits.
When his orbits were lifted to the out-
side of the great white dome crowning
the Capitol he remarked; (continually
callingit the “Rome,” and thus pay-
ing an unconscious tribute to the early
teachings of his good Catholic mother)
“My, what an illigant cap that would
make to sit down over me hay stack
there foreninst the Norwalk river. An’
wouldn’t it make the Cobble Hillians
sthare ? Shure it’ud be big enough to
sit over me vhay, the cow, the goat,
an’ the horse an’ cart and me pig-pens,
chicken house an’ me little castle too,
so it would. Well, well.” But inside,.
on looking up to its vast interior
vault and viewing Bermuda’s great al-
legorical picture for which Congress
aid him-$40,000, his eye caught the
ifs-sized picture of George Washing-
ton robed in draperies, the Mayor re-
markedz. ”“An’ there’s the men as
couldn’t tell a lie. Shure iv’ry Cobble
Hillian could hate him in that and give
’im pints besides. But what the divil
is he doin’ up there a dancin’ in petti-
coats with those crazy theatre girls,
anyhow? An, Was he any such a men
as that, au’ did Lady Washington know
ov his ,larkin’. the lorkes 0’ that, the
giddy bird- si‘ire?” It-was useless to
urge that the picture 'was snap? alle-
*a
tf gorical, for his confidence in the
ther
“Equal and Exact J usticc to all Men of Whatever State 07‘ Persuasion, Religious
(of His country was: shaken and he
would only reply: :—.“Will, I can see
nothing respictable' an’ dacint or para-
gorical in any sich goinls on, as that.” 7,
At the White House, on entering the
great East Boom, hiswonder and ad.
miration seemed to grow. Said he,
' “An’ du the Prisidint himself, have to
swaps sich a. big place as this ? Shurc
if he du‘, I’d rather hev the contract
to clanc the Borough sewers than iver
to be Prisident. Now I know that
Lady McGinnis would want me to
plOW it up and saae, 19 down in grass
for the cdw or plant it wid pota'tes an’
cabbage, iv we .had sich an illigant
garden spot as this .would make, upon
our flat, an’ it wer' soil’d an’ sphaded
and ended.”
It was at the Art Gallery, however,
where his simple wonder and admira-
tion reached their highest flights. Not
even the sight of the two Presidents,
as they rode up Pennsylvania Avenue
together, so excited his imagination.
The superb paintings were a revelation
and joy to his eyes and soul,but some
of the exhibits in Statuary Hall, were
an offense to all his ”aesthetic feelings.
On-. approaching the famous Greek
Slave and being told 'that $8,000 had
been paid for it, he was thorouohly
disgusted and his moral nature shoclicd.
Said he, “what dom fule giv $8,000 for
that stun woman ? Shure I wouldn’t
give the tip end of me Lady McGin-
nis’ little finger for the loikes uv a
dozen uv her, an’ the shame uv her
sthandin’ there in sich could wether as
this. wid 'only he afthcr dark bathin’
clothes on.” From this, he was led to
the statues of the four Venuses of
Classic Greece and halting in front of
one, he was told it Was the famed Ve-
nus de Medici, supposed to be the most
perfect and classic model of the female
figure extant. Looking all about and
viewing nude groups all around him,
his indignation and outraged modesty
broke forth as follows: “An’ does they
let these disgracin’ females stan’
round in this way, all the time, to
make a dacint man blush? Shure I’d
not care whoiver Mrs. Venis wns, or
what Medicenc ’twas that kill’d, I know
she was no respictable woman, an’ I’d
be cover’d wid confusion and shame did
I think that iver Lady McGinnis ’ud
know that I’d looked at the indaciny
crather. Yez may kape all yez co’ld
stun, Grakcs un’ Venuses, fur mesel’,
give me Mrs McGinnis yit.” So say-
ing, honest and virtuous Rhody broke
and fled from the Statuary room.
Early Saturday morning and before
Rhody was to appear in the Inaugu-
ral procession, the Grand sachem of
Tammany, who had been informed of
the Mayor’s presence in Washington,
sent him by special messenger, a gor-
geous Tammany badge. It was in blue
satin and heavily embossed in gold.
The presentation “as made by Capt.
George Coiyer of the famous New
York t‘evcnth Regiment, in the pres-
ence of a large number of Connecticut
people and some half dozen Norwalkers.
The Washington Post of yesterday also
devotes a considerable space to Rhody
and has made him so famous that th
new Postmaster General Bissell, a -
sures his friends that Bhody shall be
the first Postmaster of Cobble Hill.
Never was a school boy in his first pair
of red topped boots so exultant and
happy as our Rhody.
After the inaugural ceremonies were
over Rhody concluded not to stay and
attend the ball, so took the 10.50 train
for home and reached Norwalk at 8
o’clock yesterday morning.
That the Mayor has seen more dur-
ing his short visit to Washington, than
the great majority of visitors, is cer-
tain and it will take all the rest of his
natural life to relate and comment on
the wonders he has beheld. In this re-
gard, the good people of Norwalk
,made no mistake in choosing their del-
egate, for not another man in the town,
we are sure could or would have en-
joyed the trip as well or reaped so rich
a harvest of novel experiences. And so
for honest Bhody, may his shadow
never be less.

Pluck an Oysters.
Bay Shore, Long Island, 0 Stormen
reaped a benefit from their p u‘ck, last
week, as they had a complete “corner”
of all the oyster trade from that section.
To do this they cut out a channel
through the ice three fourths of a mile
long and one quarter of a mile wide at
the southern end and some twenty rods
on the north or shore end. Several sail
boats were then “hitched fast” to this
monster cake of ice ranging from eight
to twelve inches thick and the great
floe towed out of the bay. This led to
the breaking up of the ice in that part
of the bay and it was clear of ice while
the Sayville and Patchogue oystermen
are still frozen in.- ‘

Being Nelghborly.
“Dick” Fitch of Wilton, who never
owned a hen worth more than twenty-
five cent-s, foxily writes as follows:
The man who bought a fox to keep
his neighbor’s poultry company seems
to have been actuated by the same line
of reasoning as the village of Norwalk,
which has at least tWO good uses for
its neighbor on the north. It’s a good
place to buy hay and a most conven-
ient asylum for unruly “drunks.” A
case in point was witnessed on Monday.
The streets were filled with excited
citizens, who had assembled to do
honor to one Roger McGinnis, who
had just been declared elected by a
plurality of over 11,000, as the most
popular man in town (Mr. McGinnis
cleans Norwalk sewers), and in the de-
pot, with several other passengers,
were two Norwalk young men full of
liquid enthusiasm, who were further
polluting the none to wholesome air,
with most profane and obscene lan-
guage. A policeman was on hand and
mildly threatened them with arrest,
but on their promise to take the next
train to Wilton, he soon disappeared
from the scene, and the noise and vile
talk was kept up for fifteen minutes
longer, notwithstanding that an old
lady, seriously injured by a fall on the
icy pavements, was lying in the next
room. ' .
On the arrival of the express, our
heroes, true to their promise, boarded
it, and managed to beat their way to
this haven of rest where policemen are
unknown and a man with a “jag ” has
any quantities of room for his gyra-
tions. They spent the rest of the after-
noon whooping things up, and about 7
in the evening were in search of more
fun, when a team passed them driven
by one of our farmers, who was return-
ing from delivering a load of aforesaid
hay in aforesaid town of Norwalk. At-
tached to the back of the sled wasa
bag containing a peek of Norwalk
clams and two bottles (for a neighbor),
of the kind of rum kept expressly for
Wilton customers. In a spirit of devil-
try our friends out the string and, find-
ing the contents “as described, and
fully satisfactory to the consignees?’
started on a run, with the owner in hot
pursuit. They eluded him near the
depot, and, turning the corner sudden-
ly, ran full tilt into two entirely inno-
cent young men who, in self-defence,
joined in the chase and overtook the
highwaymen and recovered the clams
and one bottle—empty“ These were
returned to their owner, who resumed
his journey vowing vengeance ; but up
to date no arrests have been made, and
the “ drunks,” entirely sobcred up, are
once more residents of Norwalk in
good and regular standing.

Frederick Belden.
Mr. Belden, who departed this life
about 6 o’clock Saturday evening, in
the 76th year of his age, was from one
of Wilton’s oldest and most prominent
families. He came to Norwalk about
a. half century ago, married Miss Kath-
arine Gruman and established on the
church Green the beautiful residence,
which has for all these intervening
years een his cherished home. By »
this union he had a son and three
daughters, the latter now surviving
him, as does his second wife, nee Sarah
Hill, and their son, Webster. Mr. Bel-
den was for all the earlier years of his
life, a prominent and prosperous hat
and fur merchant in New Orleans,
spending his winters there and his sum-
mers here. In later years his southern
business declined, and during, and in
consequence of the war of the rebellion,
he is reputed to have lost much, if not
all, of the fortune his earlier industry
and business capacity and prudent sa-
gacity had won for' him. For several
months past he has been an intense
sufferer from an incurable bowel dis.
order, and his release from anguish,
could'have been buta blessed benedic-
tion to him, although saddening the
hearts of his widow and children with
all the weight of irremedial bereave-
ment. In his death the town loses an.
other of its conspicuous and well known
citizens, and another lesson of man’s
mortality is given the living. His‘funer-
ad will take place to-morrow afternoon
at 2 o’clock, from his late home on the
where so
many weary ones already rest and
where all the living must follow soon
or late. '

padlock graced the door and they were
