NORW'ALK GAZETTE, TU E75 i DAY, JULY" 10, 1883. NORWALK GAZETTE. Tuesday July 10, 1883- The Glorious (7) Youth The impatient spirit of the average town boy could not wait till the dawn of the Fourth to ventilate his patriotism, conse- quently, as" the evening of the third wore on, the boom of cannon and of giant crackers,'aided by the mournful crack of thefestive torpedo and the tooting or the discordant horns, penetrated the quiet air and made some think that all Bedlam had been let loose upon our village streets. As the night were on the noise increased until midnight, when simultaneously the fire bell sent out its loud alarm and the church bells, rung by sacrilegiousfl hands, joined in the general commotion. Two large bonfires were lit, one on High street and the other on Wall street in front of the Adams House, and the reflection of their lights in the sky, together with the clanging of the fire bell, induced many to leave their beds and rush-to the spots under the impression that there was a large fire. Slowly and sadly these poor deluded victims wended their way home- ward, devoutly thanking Heaven that the Fourth came but once a year. Towards morning the noise gradually decreased until the weary residents were able to snatch a few hours peaceful sleep. Dur- ing the day the monotony was only bro- ken by the occasional fizz—bang of the firecracker. The usual thunder storm was omitted on account of the weather and the day proveda “scorcher,” with the thermometer high in the nineties. Numerous excursions were indulged in but the main part of the people either staid quietly at home or picniced at Ro- ton. In the evening alarge number of fireworks were set off at various private ’ residences and Nature itself joined in the celebration by as fine a display of heat lightning aswas ever seen in this locality. Thus the day closed and Young America, tired and sleepy, went to bed to dream that a firecracker as big as a mountain was shaking hands with :his innocent toy pistol. sores. There were fewer accidents than usual this year, and what did happen were of minor importance. ' Tuesday evening, while passing near the 2d M. E. church, Mr. Frank Bedient was shot through the hand by a bullet fired from a pistol in the hands of a boy whose name could not be ascertained. Several boys were singed by exploding powder but no serious damage was done. By the unexpected explosion of a sky- rocket, Mr. P. H. Dwyer had one of his hands slightly injured. While picnicing in Betts' Grove with the St. Joseph Society, a boy named Erhardt had his face burned by.the expio} sion of a blank cartridge. Messrs. Ira Cole, G. M. Holmes, S. K. Stanley and H. J. Chapin of the borough, and Messrs. E. A. Woodward, J. S. Jen— nings, H. W. Lester and H. S. Lockwood of the city, each displayed a fine assort— ment of fireworks. Good-bye to noise and racket till another year. The New Pension Law. Work has already actively begun under the new law, which was prepared and carried through by'Senator Platt at the last session, which grants an increase in the rate of pensions from $24 to $30 per month to soldiers who lost a leg above the knee, or an arm above the elbow. Already more than 11,000 petitiors from one-armed soldiers have been re- ceived. More than 32,000 documents in the nature of evidence, 52,000 reports, and 46,000 letters were received last month. The department recognizes no attorneys under this new law, a special clause having been inserted in'the act, at the request of the pension office, to that effect. All that is necessary for the soldier to do is to mail his certificate, and with italetter, over his own signature, giving his post office address. Ackort's Roton Point. Host Aekert certainly deserves a most ' generous support from the public for the great pains and expense he has been to, to provide a most convenient, attracti‘ye and quiet and every way genteel an unex- ceptionable seaside resort for our people. Last Friday the steamer Long Branch brought up Rev. H. H. Barbour’s New- ark Church and Sunday School, to the number of five hundred or more persons. They all seemingly enjoyed themselves to the fullest possible extent and sailed away for home at about four o'clock. The day too was sultry but clear and the cool breezes and salt water bathing was just ‘superb. Another New Stamp. The post-office department is about to select a design for a new four-cent postage stamp to be put in use October 1, simulta- neously with the new two-cent stamp. Notwithstanding the fact that the date up- on which the two-cent postage law goeo into effect, October 1, has been frequently mentioned by the press. hundreds of letters have lately been received at the depart.- mcnt asking for definite information on the subject. A circular will soon be pub- lished containing all detailed information concerning the new two-cent law. _ fl Propeller City of Norwalk. Mr. Farron S. Betts, a Norwalk young gentleman, who has been of late in Capt. Perkins‘ oflice of the Kinckerbocker Steamboat Co., 70 South street, New York, succeds freight agent, Wilcox, at the South Norwalk steamboat storehouse, and will continue to receive and discharge freight there, as heretofore, by the Propel- ler City of Norwalk, at very low_rntes' So it would seem that every vestage of the old White’s Line is not altogether obliter- ated despite current gossip to the contrary. Simsbury. We call the attentioa of our readers to an article relating to Simsbury, published on our first page. As Simsbury was one of the earliest settled towns in this state, those who carefor the “old and quaint” . of Connecticut's early days will find this brief but carefully written sketch interest- ing and especially that portion relating to the old burying ground, and the inscrip— tions on tomb stones some dating back to 1608. 0 Suit for Damages. _ Mr. C. S. Waterbury, of Stamford, was partially disabled by an accident on the New York Central railroad at Greenbush, opposite Albany, about two years ago. He instituted a suit against the Company for damages, and iast,winter got a judg- ment in his favor. The case was appealed and litigation was continued until within a few days, when Mr. Waterbury made a final and satisfactory settlement with the company. ‘ w A Courageous Act. Mr. Pitzer, the popular barber just across the track from the South Norwalk depot, ran after and caught and held Geo. Keeler’s ice out team, just as the two horses, frightened at an eastern bound locomotive flying across the roadway, had got into a lively run. It was a daring and perilous feat and except for Pltzer's courageous not there would have been a sudden and heavy fall in friend Keeler's stock of ice, if not some worse casualty. Another Base Ball Club. Another nine has recently been'organiz. ed in town under the name of “The Vil- :lanova B. B. C.” The new club is pre- pared to receive challenges from any or ,all clubs in the vicinity of Norwalk, South Norwalk, or Westport. £1 com- .munications should be sent to the Secre- tary, Box 339, South Norwalk. . stance. Musical Notes, Miss Clara Louise Kellogg will sail for home toward the end of July, to complete her arrangements for the coming season. She has been for three months in Paris, chiefly engaged in study under the._Italian master Shrigha, of whose method she speaks in the highest terms. Mrs. Raymond ma Miss Cary, uncon- sciously delighted at large concourse of citizens on fourth of July evening, who were attractedto the outside of the First Congregational Church, where Professor Gibson as organist, and the wonderful singer were indulging, as they supposed, in a few private musical exercises.

Charles R. Marvin, the oldest member of the New York Stock Exchange, dic'd Saturday'at his residence in Brooklyn, at an advanced age. Though he had been ill for more 1‘.th a..month from a compli- cation of disordefs,=his death was unex- pected, as his sickness was not supposed tobe ofaserious nature. Mr. Marvin who was a son of Barnabas Marvin, Esq, a former justice of the peace in Norwalk, was born here in town in 1811, and lived in the neighborhood until he reached > his majority, moving then to Brooklyn where he resided until his 'death. He. carried on the business of a stockbroker until 1873, when he retired from active work. He was fbr several years the treasurer of the Chicago and Northwest- ern Railway Company and, also was for sometime a director in the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific road. He died pos- sessed of a large fortune, leaving a widow and three sons. Not Yet The Iron Steamboat 00., it would ap- pear, had supposed itself in possession of the old Adelphi .dock and storehouse. They painted out the old sign and laid a new floor in the latter and the statement was industriously circulated that a new propeller would be put on, etc. Friday night a new order of things seemed to have prevailed, or rather the old 'order was restored. The Knickerbocker Cb. resumed occupation, changed locks and keys, and still “hold the fort” and assure us that freight will be transported by the City of Norwalk, as hitherto. The smart- est thing the Iron Steamboat 00. can do is to drop the freight boot business till it can get a faster boat for their passenger route, then have their coal delivered here and put on board at night instead of oc- cupying all her time in New York in. coaling. =33: ' Another Snake Story. A lady residing on Spring Hill while out in the yard Saturday afternoon, heard a commotion in the chicken-coop, and, upon going to ascertain the cause, found a large fiat-headed, checkered adder in the act of swallowing one of the chickens. Seizing a stick she attacked his snakeship who- dropped the chicken and showed fight. _ After a few minutes of skillful maneuvering the lady succeeded in strik- ing the reptile on the head with the stick, and ending the battle. When measured the adder was found to bencarly three feet in length. This species is very un— common here and its sting is invariably attended with fatal results. I A Double Dialing. From the Cleveland (Ohio) Leader of Wednesday J uiy 4, we clip the following account of the marriage of William, son of C. C. Betts, Esq, of this place: One of those rare occurrences, a double wedding, took place at the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church at 7:30 o’clock last evening, Rev. 'Dr. Ladd officiating. The church was handsomely decorated with flowers. The contracting parties were Mr. William Betts, of Connecticut, and Miss Kittie Millard, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J .F. Millard, of Bonn street, and Mr. William Millard, the brother of bride number one, and Miss Cora Sprague, a teacher in the Bolton grammar shool. The brides-maids who took part in the happy ceremony were Miss Cora Hart, Miss Jennie Sprague, Miss Lizzie Hurl- but, and Miss Flora King. The grooms- men were Mr. Morse, Mr. Edward Inger- soll, Mr. John Sprague, and Mr. Walter King. The wedding guests were received in a handsome manner, after the ceremony, at the residence of Mr. Willard’s bride's father,Alonzo W. Sprague, in Bell avenue. The presents displayed were handsome, and many of them costly. Both of the newly married couples will start on a short trip to the East to-day, afterwards settling down to every day life in this city. A telegram which was written “Mother is here, come up,” and sent to a Hartford man yesterday was made to read before it reached him, “Mother is dead, come quick.” He telegraphed that he would come on a certain train and brought his . wife with him. Almost the first person they met on aligbting in the depot here was the mother.—Springfiehl Republican. This habit of blundering in transmitting telegraphic messages is getting entirely too frequent, and its consequences too serious for patient endurance. The case of thebispatch altered so as to announce the death of Miss Edith Hoyt, instead of her convalesence, and the misery caused there- by, is fresh in the remembrance of Nor- walk people. The above is another illus- tration of inexcusable carelessness and the company ought to be held to a strict accountability for such cruel blundering. The Now Money Order Law. The new money order law is now in operation. The charges under ,this order will be for orders not exceeding $10, 8 cents; over $10 and under $15, 10 cents; over $15 and under $30, 15 cents; over $30 and under $40, 20 cents; over $40 and under $50, 25 cents; over $50 and under $60, 30 cents; over $60 and under $70,‘35_'cents; over $70 and under $80, 40 cents; over $80 and undei $100, 45 cents. Postmasters cannot issue in one day to the same [remitter and in favor of the same payee, more than three money orders payable at the same post office. I-lercto- forefime person could only send three $50 orders as above. _ A Delay Caused.’ Much delay and inconvenience has been experienced by the internal revenue oflice at Washington in handling the check stamps forwarded for redemption, on ac:- count of letters and packages of stamps being addressed to the treasurer of the United States, comptroller of the currency and the secretary of the treasury. Ali check stamps forwarded for redemption and all correspondence relating thereto should be addressed to the commissioner of internal revenue. m Envelopes. Churches that have adopted or contem- plate adopting the "weekly offering sys- tem,” should send all orders to the Ga- za‘rrrt office for envelope outfits. We carry a large stock of envelopes designed for this purpose, and as we buy directly . of the~eastern manufacturers 'wegcan fur- nish them printed'it imagine same rates asked"“by other ‘déalcr‘sifor tlieltilain en velopcs. . My. Death of the Item-John L. Gillian", ' The Rev. John L. Glider. pastor 'of the Carroll park Methodist church, Brooklyn, died last Tuesday. aged 71. He had been pastor of many;'of the. New York Metho- dist churches and had also been. located at Middletown and Bridgeport. He was at one time principal of the Flushing female college, and at another of Church Hill-In stitute, at New Canaan. New Raven's Alligator. An alligator appeared in Mill river Fri day night, near tlm Yule university boat house. _It is three and one-half feet long, and is said to be the only live snurian cur seen in the state. It is supposed it was atiracked by the Yale stroke. Rev. A. F. Beard, D. D. in Paris. A letter has just been received from this honored son of N orwalk, by a mem- ber of the First Congregational church in which he says, “I wish that my old boy- hood churcb would let me put on one of the pews 'of the American Chapel in Paris, ‘Tirii raw or" run Flas'r CONGRE- onrroxnr. Crrnriorr or Nortwarnr.‘ It has already been occupied by one or two Norwalk people since I came.” (Dr. Beard is the pastor.) It would cost $80 and would be just so much for the cause of French Evangelizalion, helping us to usc|our collections to just that amount for missionary work. I am going. to try to get twen' y churches, or more, to take each a pew; which would enable us to be much more of a missionary church than we now can be; and thevwork is'abund- ant before us. Every pastor that comes here and sees it and feels it say's,"Yes," at once. Will not my old. church he one of the twenty, and let me have a pew for them to gather strangers in and people who need to be saved? Could $80 be put to better advantages anywhere else ?” Would it not be a graceful as well as a grateful thing to respond to this appeal? Any voluntary offering may be sent to Col. F. St. John Lockwood, who will gladly forward and account for them. This notice was given in the church mentioned, by the. Rev. C. , .} Everest, last Sunday morning, and ' warmly urged by him on the spontaneous liberal- ily of the church. By all means let it have and maintain a Norwalk pew in the Paris church of Norwalk’s honored son, and let Norwalk visitors make themselves at home in it. An Outrage at Bedding. Friday, June 22, amulatto fellow went to the house of one of the best families in town of Bedding and finding the lady of the house alone he took an old dress and flung it over her head, and then having tied her hands behind her-tried to commit an outrage upon her, but was finally frustrated. He ransacked the house, but only stole a small sized revolver. He was around the house nearly an hour then left, leaving the woman tied until her husband returned from his work. The house is on an unfrequented road. The matter was kept quiet for some days, only a few officers knowing of it, thinking' they could find him, but when the North Salem outrage came out, and no doubt the same fellow committed both crimes, the matter became public. Suspicion rests on one Sam Pine, a notorious fellow, about 30 yearsflof age, l ight color and quite dres sy. He was sent to prison from Philadel- phia during Centennial year for burglary, but broke out before his time expired. Arcward was offered at that time for his arrest, but he was never arrested. Last summer he broke into the depot at Red- ding and stole about $20 in' money and some goods, and mod went to Danbury and stole a horse and carriage from Crosby’s stable and drove to York state. Mr. Crosby recovered the horse and car- riage, but Pine kept clear of the ofiiccrs. Brave William Dorney. THE RIVER HERO WHO HAS SAVED TWENTY- SEVEN PERSONS FROM DROWNING. Mrs. Ann Broomen, a woman about 60 years old, fell from the deck of a canal- boat lying at Pier No. 27 East River, yes terday noon into the water. William‘Dor- say, the watchman on the pier, saw her fall, and springing down upon the deck of the barge he drew her out unhurt. Broomen is the twenty-seventh person saved from drowning by Dorney, of whom a record has been kept by the Atlantic Mutual Insurance Company. It is believ- ed that he has saved 10 or 12 other per- sons without reporting" them. Dorney was born in Ireland in 1849,- and is 34 years old. He came to this country when quite young, and has been employed as watchman by the Knickerbocker Steam- boat Company for 15 years. He was first stationed at Pier No. 37, and here his work as a life saver began. Among his exploits was the saving of a child who fell into the water, and of its mother, who sprang after it. On Nov. 5. 1879, a man by the name of O’Brien tried to commit suicide while drunk by throw- ing himself into the water at Pier No. 37. Dorney jumped after him and brought him out alive. The man jumped in again ~and Dorney followed. He brought him out again, but the man died in his arms. For thisact Mr. R. Cornell White, Presi- dent of the Columbia Steam Navigation Company, gave Dorney a silver watch and chain. The insurance company named above,established a system of rewards for life-saving, and recognized Dorney’s mer- its by giving him a silver medal and $50. Dorney is a magnificent specimen of man- hood, a little below the medium height. He Weighs 175 pounds and is an expert swimmer. His method is to keep the drowning person from clinging to him by holding him at arm's length and swim- ming with his other arm. He swims eith- er face down or on his side equally well. ——N. Y. Times, Saturday. William Dorney is a Norwalk boy, his parents living on the New Canaan road near Josiah Kellogg’s homestead. Helms been in the employ of the _ Columbia Steam Navigation Company for about 15 years as watchman. Upon the'rcorgunization of the above company as the Knickerbocker ' Steamboat 00., he was continued in the service of the new company and is now employed by Capt. Perkins to look after freights, &c., on the Pier 27 East River, where the above rescue was made. _ Mr. Dorney has a brother, John, who is Mate on the City of Norwalk and Who, on *ac- count of his faithful service, has also been in the employ of the company for a num- ber of years. Fun Among the Ministers. That was. a back-handed compliment our “Jefferson” got at the recent meeting of the Presbyterian General Assembly in Saratoga. The question of “Fraternal Re- lation” between the Northern and South- ern presbyterinns was up. A worthy D. D.‘ from the South had the floor. He thought the two bodies differed too much to come together yet. Last year the Northern Assembly met in Springfield, Ill., and while there visited the grave of Lincoln in a body. Referring to this, Dr. B. said: Suppose at some future day the Assembly should meet in some southern city where the body of our distinguished leader (Jeff. Davis) should be buried. Would you visit his grave? And a voice replied: “It would give us the greatest of pleasure to stand by his grass!" The good Doctor must have thought of the passage of Scripture, “His words were smoother than oil, but the poison of asps was under hislips.” How to Kill a Town. One of our exchanges makes the follow.- ing pertinent suggestion : If you wish to keep a town from thriving, don’t put up any more buildings than you can conven- iently occupy yourself. If you should ac.- cidentally have an empty dwelling and any one should want to rent it, ask him three times the value. Demand a Shylock price for every foot of ground God has given you stewardship over. Turnn cold shoulder to every mechanic and business man seeking a home amOng you. . Look at every new comer with “a scowl. Run, down the work of every" hcw ’workman. Go abroad for wares rather than deal with those who seek to do business in your midst. Fail to advertise, or in-any way to support your local paper so people abroad mnynot know whether any busi- ness is going on in your towu or not. Wrap yourself up within yourself in impervious selfishness. There is no more efiectmil way to retard the growth of a town than actions, exactly like these enumerated. == , . Of Interest to Mariners. _ Notice is given by the lighthouse board that on and after July 10, 1883, the light at Robins Red light station, New York harbor, will be rc-establlshed in theligbt tower. The light will beef the fourth order, showing a white flash at intervals of six seconds. The fog signal is a bell struck by machinery every fifteen seconds. Upon the re-establishment of the above light, the lightship now moored near the station will be withdrawn. _ Mrs. . Croditablo Shooting. Co. E, Lockwood Rifles, assembled at their practice grounds last Wednesday to shoot for the gold badge recently present. ed by Col. F. St. John Lockwood." The‘ terms of the gift were that the badge was to be ”shot for semi-annually and the marksman making the best score on three different occasions became the permanent owner of it.

Upon the invitation of the Fountain Gun Club of this place, the Bridgeport Gun Club came to Norwalk Wednesday, and cairyalls being impressed into service. were conveyed to the grounds of the former on Pine Island, where a friendly club match was shot, each member‘shoot- ingath glass balls. It was an off-day for thh.Norwalkers, the visitors from the “Park City” beating them by four points. ‘ It is claimed that our boys can make a hotter showing and in all likelihood is re- turn m'atch will be shot .in Bridgeport at_ an early date.

The reputation of this house for a succession of special bargains is constant ly increasing. We clip the following from the Bridgeport Farmer:— The annual summer closing sale of W. B. Hall Jr Co. has more than ordinary interest this year, from the fact that the alterations and additions which they .propose to make ,. in their store makes it necessary for a large portion of the dry goods to be removed, and the firm has dc: cided to put prices on their entire stock that will make it for the interest of their patrons to select many goods for fall wear. The wide reputation of this house for ex,- eeilent fabrics, and the fact that all their stock is fresh, new and desirable, com bined with the fact that they have loads of special bargains, in addition to the gen- eral reductions, will undoubtedly make a very busy month for them. Economists and all who appreciate getting a great deal for their money should look through all the departments of W. B. Hall &. Co. # Chapel Street Outdono. The startling rumor reaches us that Dr? Emily Pardee attended a case in town last week, of double triplets, and that three of the numerous offspring survive and with the maternal, are doing well.

An Englishman in Paris has given the sum of thirteen thousand pounds to'the sumptuous American church now build- ing in the Avenue de l’Alma.

He furthermore alleged that a~ member from the Lake Michigan Shore—abovepr below Muskegon—left the capital wrth $l,000 winnings from poker. New Orleans has now a deeper harbor than New York. The White Star and Guion‘ lines dare not load their vessels above twenty-six feet, while the French line stops at twenty-four feet.

That the water from the distributing res- ervoir is, after heavy rains, impure in all the lower levels of the'city none will deny, and that such periodical impurity can only be caused by the want of proper filtration. is self-evident. Would it not in such cases be better for South Norwalk to incur the necessary small expense rc- quired-to remedy the evil, than to allow such cause of complaint to continue to the evident injury of their'city. ‘ ' ' It was a study to see people leaving the New Haven trains Tuesday, and piling into D. ’3; N. trains which lead to cool and otherwise pleasant places in the northern part of the State. The yacht “Irene” was successfully launched Thursday afternoon in presence of a cloud of witnesses. ‘ . Between this port, ,und New York, Sat- urday, a' steamer loaded with creosoted timber wi'is' sighted ,on her way to Nor- walk. She was well down-- in the water. bridge, as the contractors are only waiting the arrival of, timberfor the new to tehr down the old. The dra'wls to be lifted from its place entire by:means of two scows placed under it at low tide. As the scows rise with the this they will break the link which connects the west with the east side of the river. The old draw will be treated to a voyage by water to Bridgeport. Already the foot bridge via. the R. R. bridge has become a welv come and necessary institution. Sufferers from dust supposed the chaps who drive street sprinklers were absent from duty during those -hot days last week because of ' prostration from heat. They have since learned the sprinkling carts were attached by some thirsty credi- tor. "You can play that game but once," is what was said to the boys who stuffed an old suit of clothes to look like a man, thereby humbugging Policemen Gregory and Tolles who thought certain they had made a good catch. “A day of quiet" describes the Fourth exciting incident. . Elder D. C. Dudley preached Sunday in Second Advent church. The New York Produce Exchange came to Gregory’s Point Wednesday by tug, and indulged in one of those clamhnkes ’ for which Mr. Dorian is so noted. They could have found the clams nearer home, but they wisely coincided in what is now acknowledged, that Long Island Sound clams have a better flavor, and by eating them in Connecticut, Coney Island wai- ter’s impudcnce was avoided During the day a party of gentlemen with good appe- tites arrived from Bridgeport, and between -the two, Dorian had his hands full. Mr. E. A. Woodward’s place wore a holiday look on the Fourth, and this was intensified by fireworks in the evening. At Trinity church, Sunday'p. m., a service in German was held. Mr. and~ Mrs. Newcomb are the solid evidences of good living at the Mahack- emo. ' Thc‘acutcness of Station Agent Benc- undcr the placarded rule “Smoking strictly prohibited in this room," he is obliged to abstain with other confirmed old smokers. What Mr. Frank Finch was doing when he fell through the bridge at Springwood Tuesday, does not transpire. Of all the ruins this season that of Sun- day p. m. was the worst for excursionists, and there were many from this city. It is said all hands met the dampness with stiff upper lips, and returning wet and shivering claimed that they had had it good time. Wm. fl. English, late Democratic can- didate for Vice-President, said recently: “I am out of active politics and out to stay, never intending. under any circum- stances, to be a candidate for any office.” The Chicago Evening Journal acting on Grant’s declaration that Blaine and Logan are the strongest candidates now before the Republican party for President, proposes that the ticket be made Blaine and Logan, and says “it would sweep the country like wild-fire.” The independent editor bf the Boston Heraldthinks President Arthur as a suc- cessor to the office from the Vice-Presi- ‘dency “has not the ambition of Tyler, the co d bloodedness of Fillmore, nor the prenacity of Johnson,” and believes he will have a better official record than either of these gentlemen. - Capt. Tattle. of New London. caught a salmon in the Thames river Wednesday that weighed seventeen pounds and a half. It was was sold to a Hartford gentleman. Only two or three salmon have been caught in the Thames in as many years, and the Connecticut river supply seems to have given out entirely. Editor Carl Schurtz says of Judge Hoadly, Democratic candidate for Gov- ernor of Ohio, that he is a man of mark. ed ability and high standing. and that he also possesses many of those qualities which are apt to make a candidate strong- er than his party; on extensive personal popularity, an active an energetic temper, and a pleasing faculty of speech. The stanchions and braces of the rook- lyn Bridge are not tied so tight as 0 pre- vent that mammoth structure from hav- ing a weather tide of its own of two feet rise and fall. Here is the chance of an inventor like Edison to contrive a great self-registering thermometer measuring the fluctuations in heat and cold by the ebb and flux of the bridge’s mass, and, with such an elastic aggregation of metal, under the circumstances, it would not be impossible to make of it a barometer also, of unusual sensitiveness. . Gov. Thomas T. Crittenden of Missouri, recently learned that the bankers of the state were collecting money to present him a watch and chain “as a suitable tes- timonial for his interest in behalf of law and order in the state, and he has written a letter saying that he cannot accept any; thing of the sort. "Since I have been .the executive of the state,” he writes, “it has been my'chief aim to have the law supreme in every part of the state—so preme and authoritative over all classes and toward all classes. If successful, then I have done no more than my duty, and am not entitled to a special testimo— nial over the many other law officers of the state.” ‘ The New York Tribune tells us that the ofilcers of a certain church in that city have been soliciting the opinions of prominent members of the congregation upon the desirability of introducing liturgical services. Some of the answers are quaint. One gentleman writes that he does not object to a responsive service if there is a fair understanding that all hands shall go in. “But if it is only go- ing to be a chirp or two here and there, it will only be ridiculous. and you can count me out.” A lady writes that she does not understand exactly what is meant by a responsive service, but if it means that she has got to keep saying that she is a “miscra le sinner” during prayer time. she is opposed to it, "‘for it isn’t true.” An adventurous scribe invaded ex-V Senator David Davis' home the other day and tried to interview that statesman. Of course. he first asked who. would be the next presidential candidates and insisted upon an answer, for "Yeti must have some idea, J udge,” he said. “Yes," re- plied the other, "I have an idea—that your question is too broad to be traversed in one lifetime.’, “But if the Democrats were to urge you to accept their nomina. tion, what would you say it” “My dear sir, 1 should-say it was none of your busi- ness. Excuse me for being rude, but I can ‘t be interv'ewed.” The reporter went then, but in parting he asked the ex-Senu- tor why he had such a strong fence around his property. “Why,” was the reply, “tho huzzards of the press say that I am always sitting on it, so it needs be pretty strong!” This would'indlcate early work on our which came and went with scarcely an, dict’s suffering may be appreciated when, ‘ Correspondence.

EDITORS :— - In the garden of Mrs. Kauffmann' in Main avenue Square, there is at present in full bloom, a Yucca filamentosa Palm lily also called Adam's Needle. It may be of interest to thereader, that this plant was brought from America thirty years ago and has not blossomed until now. The stem of. this plant is about 45 centi- meters high, and is well developed. the extraordinarly numerous leaves are very long and narrow, of parchment-like tex- ture, the whole about 75 centimeters long. The flower stands majestically above the center leaf-crown. Josarn Markers. _ "Kid's? on. " " are determined to take the lead in the Fish, Fruit and Vegetable market trade.

I sold between two and three millions of them. was due tO'tIIO excellence of the stock and the advantage given to it by the process of planing. The manufacturer—Oscar Fenn—in about three years, consumed his timber and retired ”wealthy- 'and the patentee of the process has for a your past been looking in vain for some one who made a shingle good enough to be subjected to the planing process, the tendency being to show plainly every defect in the stock. He has recently placed his machinery in a new mill and is now again supplying me with an article of PLANEI] SHINGLE fully as good in every respect as the .Oscar Fenn Brand, and he warrants them just as thoroughly. The first installment arrived July 6th and I invite an examination of them and also request an ex- amination ~ of .the, Lumber Shed Roofs covered with Shingles made three years ago by the same process. I confidently recom- mend them as the best substitute for Rived Shingles, yet found.
