A Past ‘Héarthstono.

In the custody of Rev. Mr. Selleck
is a small~ painting of the ancient Esaias
Bouton home, which was built’upon the
north branch of, the Pampaskeshauk,
in the Iudan city of Naramake, after-
ward Belden’s Point. Thislwater-side
domicil was one well knownto the oili-
cers of the great-grandfather of the
late Admiral Sir George Tryon, of Her
Majesty’s last month’s lost ship Vic-
toria, and its capacious chimney, shown
in the "painting, played a part in con-
nection; with AdmiralWilliam Tryon’s
, manmuverings, and was the scene of a

' war incident in the early life of one of
its proprietor’s sons, the young Nathan
Bouton, who afterward removed to
Troy, ._N_.Y. , and was the father of Mrs.

Nathan 'Warren, foundergof the Mary ,

Warreanree Institute of that city, and
the. grandfather of the last surviving
member of the immediate family, Dr—.'
Nathan Warren; now of [Mount Ida, an"
eminence which handsomely crowns
the same ficurishing city.

The Warren’s *were among the or-
ganizers of the Episcopal Church in
Troy,'aud the ex-rector of St. Paul’s
has also a copy of a letter written to
the before¢mentioned Esaias Bouton,
of Beldén’s Peint by his grandson Ste-
".phen Warren," father of the present
Hon. Joseph M. Warren, and John
Hobart Warren, Esq., of northern New
York and Phoebe Elizabeth McKean .of'
Philadelphia, the ‘grand—daughtere-inm
law of '.Thomas McKean, LL.D.', Presi-j
dent of the Continental Congress. The
letter, which is a fine old-time compo-
sition,‘is dated Troy, J an; 22d, 1804, and
portions of it read as fellows} .

“ HONORED GBANDPABENTS:

When I contemplate the many acts of
benevolence which you have done, it
fills my heart with gratitude for those
kindnesses which our family have re-
ceived at your hands, and I sincerely
pray that the. Supreme Dispenser of :all
events ma richly reward you . . .. ..an
so fit an prepare us, that We may all
meet in happiness inthe world above,
where there shall be joy everm'Ore.
We have in contemplation to build an
Episcopal Church, ifha sufiicient sum
can be . collected for that purpose.
There. is now subscribed about eighteen
hundred dollars in this village. On
the ~16th January, the people met and
organized a church, the name of which
is St. Paul's Church, of Troy.’ .

' Your dutiful grandson,
STEPHEN WARREN.

The temple of this mother parish is
now, in 1893, undergoing extensive al-
terations, and will when completed, be,
it is probable, one of! the most magnifi-
cent places of worship in the Diocese
of Albany.

 

Senator Platt’s Views.

Every one who knows U. S. Senator
0. H. Platt, of Meriden, knows him to
be a man of rare, “good common
sense,” and of entire honesty and
probity, as well as of unusual clear-
ness of mental vision. No Senator
enjoys, to a fuller extent, the confi-
dence and esteem of his fellow Sen-
ators of all political shades of opinion.
, While in no sense a pig-headed parti-
san, , Senator Platt, nevertheless, be-
lieves in his Republicanism as sincerely
as he ,does in his Congregationalism,
the religious faith in which he was
nurtured. Recently he was interviewed
by'the New Haven’Palladiuin. and his
views requested for publication, as to
the causes and remedies, for the pre-
sent business and monetary disturb-

ances throughout the country. I i
In his review of the history of recent
financial legislation, Senator " Platt

 

agrees with nearly every other states- .

man, and financier in holding that the
Sherman act, so-callhd, was a conserva-
tive and useful measure when passed,
which prevented a strong movement
toward the free coinage (of silver- I

describes; the necessity of passing the
- Sherman act at the time it was passed,
and what was, expected to be-acco'm-
plished by it. He also believes [that it
is a. mistake to ascribe all our financial”
and commercial troubles to the pur.
chasing clause of the Sherman act. “I
do not regard,” he says, “the Sherman
is? as the chief cause of our monetary
troubles. - .I think it has had very little

 

to do with the exportation of gold, as
is shown by the fact that gold export-
ation has ceased while the law is still
in force.” ‘

This is an undeniable fact. The ex-
portation of gold has ceased, and is
new again returning to our shores,
while the purchase of silver under the
provisions of the Sherman act, still
goes On. Senator Platt, however, like
all the rest of the statesmen of the
country who desire the restoration of
'a sound currency, is in favor of the
repeal of the silver purchasing clause
of the Sherman act, and he believes it
will be repealed at the extra session of
Cengress, provided the proposition to
repeal it is brought forward indepeng
dently and coupled with no other legis-
lation. In this idea he agrees with
Senator Sherman himself.

Senator Platt understands the great
questions now uppermost in the minds
of the American people thoroughly.
He is net ambiguous and he does not
deal in vague generalities. Placing
the initiative where it belongs, and de-
«claring that the country cannot help
feeling a want of confidence in the
ability of the new and" untried and dis-
united democrats in congress, to wisely
handle great financial questions. Sen-
ator Platt nevertheless professes his
willingness to help them carry any
sound legislation they may propose.
In this he takes common ground with
Senator Sherman, Senator Aldrich and
other'rep'ublican leaders in the senate.
The present crisis'is not a time when
partisan politics should be allowed to
interfere with remedial legislation, by
whomsoever it iqproposed.

Good republicans and good demo-
crats, he believes, should be united on
financial questions now as they were
united in the behalf of the maintenance
of the Union during the war. Iii all times
of national peril, party distinctions
he says, should vanish for the time and
all should stand shoulder to shoulder
until the crisis has been passed and
victory won. . .

in Washington that no head of depart-g '

ment was safe from annoyance, and no;
backyard was secure from needy prowl-i
ers clamoring for office. Some of them,

Clark- street. The other twocases are
in the families of James Ludlam and
Joseph McCormick on iPlattsville ave-
nue, both being in the same house.
The Kennedy case is. quarantined,
Ofiicer June being on guard. At the
other house Ofiicer. Burdick. is doing
guard duty. The health officers are do-
ing all in their power. to prevent a fur-
ther spread of the disease, by a liberal
use of disinfectants‘and by placing re-
striations over the families where the
disease prevails. It is notibelieved that
the disease Will become-epidemic.

Bitten by a Newfoundland. .
Charles Bouton employed by the

market in Westport, was severely bit-
ten by a dag on Monday. He went
into the yard at a house in Saugatuck
to take an order. Alarge Newfound-
land dog which was tied to a tree in the
yard commenced barking, and a domes-‘
tic came out of the house and attempt-
ed to quiet him, Bouton went into the
house and transacted his business; as
he came out the dog got away from the
domestic and managed to break the
rope to which he was tied and making.
a dash for Bouton first grabbed for the
calf of his leg tearing Bouton’s trou-
sers but not touching the flesh. He
then made another spring at him and
his teeth sank into an order book which
the man had in his hip pocket. The
dog let 0 his hold. on the book and
then san his teeth in one of Bouton’s
thighs and caused“ a serious wound-
Dr. Hitchcock was summoned and he
oauterized the wound. The dog which
was highly valued by the owner, a Mr.
Wheeler, was afterward killed.

Took Her Daughter.

Some six or seven years ago a woman
came to Norwalk, as she said from Dan-
bury. She was accompanied by a child
about one year. old. The woman gave
her name as Delia Tripp. Soon after,
she became a town charge, at which
time she gave birth to a boy. bab ,
which was adopted by aSouth N orwa k
famili. Mrs. Trlpp remained at the
alms case-fora few months, and so;
curing a situation left the child and
went to‘ work for a Norwalk family.
Early this spring she was married to a
man named John Mex, living in West-
port. The child which had been chris-
tened Flurence was brought up by the
keepers of the alms house, Mr. and
Mrs..Hoyt, as well as if it had been
their own, and they had‘ become very
much attached to her, as indeed had the
girl to them. uesday evening Mr.
and Mrs. Mix called at the Town Farm
and demanded the child, and when
~Mrs. Hoyt tried to persuade Mrs. Mix
to let the girl remain, the woman he-
came very abuswe and used such in-
sulting language that Mr. Hoyt was
forced to eject her from the building.
The girl did not want to go with her
mother, and force had to be used‘ to
compel her. .She threatens to run
away at-the first opportunity, but Mr.
Hoyt told her that he would not harbor"
her even if she did, and advised her to

A Board Appointed to Cut Down the Ex-
position's Expenses.

,CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-—A board of finance
has been appointed to manage the mone-
tary affairs of the World’s fair, and all,
fixed appropriations for different depart-
ments of the exposition were ordered
stopped Aug. 1. The board of finance is
composed of W’. D. Kerfoot, F. SJVinst-o‘n
and William K. Ackerman. .

The first, two are directors and ’the latter
is auditor of the exposition company. This
board is charged with two importantdu-
ties—cutting down expenses and making.
such appropriations as they think neces-
sary to carry on the work in the different
departments of the fair. The council of
administration will not be allowed to
spend a dollar without the approval of the
board of finance. The statement is made
that the council of administration, after
repeated conferences with the department
chiefs and others, succeeded in bringing
the payrolls for the last two weeks of July
down to $210,000. This would mean a
monthly payroll of $420,000 hereafter, but
the board of finance expects to reduce it at
least’20 per cent more. '
