Dead and Didn’t Know it.
t h be 'nnin ,0f the war Mr. Lewis
A t £3 $1 g listed in one of
Johnson of this place en
the volunteer ninety days regiments. At
the expiration of his term of service he
was mustered out and came home. He
shortly afterwards re°enlisted as a veteran
in the Connection
Thr‘ough - the error
officer, however, Mr. J 0
down as a raw recruit a .
failed to receive the $100 additional
bounty paid to reenlisting veterans. He
serVed throughout the war and was mus-
tered out in 1865 with his company. .
Recently Mr. Johnson made application
for this additional bounty due him, to the
Second Auditor of the Treasury. And now
a letter from that oflicial has been received
stating that $49.83 arrears of pay and $100
bounty were granted Eliza L. Johnson
as the widow of Lewis H. Johnson and
paid to her October 3, 1863. Also that
$100 additional bounty was allowed said
widow and paid December 10, 1867. .
“Lew’s” :friends will be sorry to hear
that he has been dead for the last twenty-
two years, but no one will more greatly
regret the sad tidings than “Lew” lum-
self. We would yield to the pressure of
evidence and write friend Johnson a
tender obituary were it not for the fact
that in conversation with him a few days
not “three”
of the recruiting
hnson was set
nd, therefore,
since he assured us that he not only was.
not dead but that to the best of his knowl-
edge he never had been dead. ‘

A Chance for Reform.
Alfred Larson, the new foreman in the
‘ Danbury Hat Forming company’s factory;
was on Saturday presented with an easy
chair by the men under his charge. In
giving an account of the pnesentation the
Danbury News says, speaking of Mr.
Larson:—
“It was plainly evident that he was a sur-
prised man, and that he was too full for utter-
race.”
We should beg the News to be a trifle
more explicit for Mr. Larson’s sake, were
it not for the fact that that sprightly and
enthusiastic journal invariably knows
whereof it speaks. Therefore we simply
advise the good temperance ladies of
Danbury to seek an early acquaintance
with Mr. Larson _ ‘ i '
The New Steamer.
The City of Albany will be ready to
take her place on Monday, May 4, on the
route between New York and South
Norwalk, touching both ways at Wilson
Point to receive and land passengers for
the Danbury and Norwalk Railroad. She
will leave New York about the usual
time, 2:45 p. m. and connect with the
train at Wilson Point. Fare will be sixty
cents for excursion tickets and forty-five
cents for single tickets. Passengers for
South Norwalk can take their own choice
as to where they leave the boat, at Wilson
Point or South Norwalk as the price will
be the same between New York and either
of those points. It is expected that the
management will use its utmost exertions to
please the traveling public, and there is
no doubt but that our people will be
better provided-for than ever before as to
steamboat facilities between Norwalk and
New York.
W
The Reason Why.
The reason of the consent of Mr. Colyer
in the house, to the rejection of his bill
concerning i‘ailroad fares, was that he was
informed that the fate of the “short haul”
bill in the senate hinged upon the action
of the house upon the two cent fare bill.
' Appreciating the fact, even if the latter
bill passed the house, it could not pass
the senate, Mr. Colyer, encouraged in such
action by the Opinion of senators from his
own county, decided not to press the two
cent fare bill in such a way as to jeopardize
the short paid measure. A part of a loaf
in this case was considered as, better than ~
no bread .—00urant.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wssnmorox, Ap'rll 1'3, 1885.
DEAR zenrrr. a—AS mostjg'f the capitol
habitues have now departed: 'Washington
begins to assume its air of recess dullness-
The President is evidently determined to
“make haste slowly” in the matter of
appointments; and this has cleared Ont
the crowd of office seekers with magic
'celerity. The war cloud in Central
America has engrossed much of the time
and consideration of the President and
his Secretaries of State, War and Navy,
while the nearly fifty thousand little post
offices that do not requireg‘Presidential
appointments of postmaster! have kept
Mr; Vilas about as thoroughly busy as‘the
Indians and land-grabberb a't’the wild west
have Secrtétary'Lamar. "-
The committee of- the senate authorized
to sit duringzthe recess to consider what
reductions can be made in the contingent
expenses ‘of “that body, and whereof our
Senator Platt is a'leading member, has
held its sessions daily up to last Thursday.
It has resulted in an agreement to discon.
unue'thecosayleaoc of the Ben. Butler
Mnnslon, and will recommend the abolition
or consolidation 'of somegdf the less in”-
portsnt committeessandf'thus materially
‘r'o'duce the humhem'lof employees, which,
of late years, have been so steadily grow-
ing in numbers as to challenge comparison
with the House expenditures and provoke
public criticism in the newspapers. The
special increascihss been caused by? the
rioting toyeveryfse‘nntorn personal clerk.
This Wasn mensuro strongly advocated
:bv' cur departed ’and' lamented Senator
Ferry when he was a member of that
he‘s pf the House as well as of the Senate,
and he knew how small comparatively
the tax upon the time of a member was in
the matters of errand running to the Pen-
sion office and departments and in answer-
ing correspondents, 'to the demands made
upon the senators. He claimed that a
senator could not give the proper time
and consideration to matters of important
legislation when forced to give personal
attention to the endless demands made
upon him by his :constituents, and he,
therefore, favored granting every senator
a secretary to attend to all such duties.
It was this feeling and the greatly in-
creased demands upon senators made by
pension claimants that led to the adoption
of the rule giving to all a clerk, and the
public when fully informed must justify
the senators’ action. '
Mr. Mitchell is the only member of our
congressional delegation now remaining
in the city. He expects to occupy his
beautiful home here till the middle of
May. We met him at the state depart-
ment Thursday accompanied by Captain
Russell, who had been given to understand
by Mr. Bayard that he would be at once
commissioned and ordered in charge of
the Liverpool consulate till such time as
the senate shall act upon-his confirmation
at its sessionlnext December. Ex-Gnv.
Waller’s commission was made out early
last week, and his post oflice address not
being known by the President or at the
state department, it was mailed to him at
Hartford. Honest and grand and good,
but politically wrong, Mr. Eaton went
home even more [disheartened and dis-
gusted over M12. Pearson’s appointment
as po'tmaster at New York than the irate
Senator Beck of Kentucky. The new
democratic President has bewildered and
dumbfounded Mr. Eaton as thoroughly as
was the hen that hatched out the duck-
lings. . The ever genial Chairman Galla-
gher has returned home without his com-
mission as New Haven’s port collector,
but his faith is still unfaitering that it
will be surely his in the sweet bye and bye.
The President’s eccentricities were car-
ried into his selection of a place of public
worship here. His clerical brother was an
intimate friend of Rev. Dr. Bartlett, and
is said to have written him that his sisters
and Presidential brother would worship
with the DE. Bartlett congregation at New
York avenue church. But on arrival
here the President learned that Dr.
Bartlett’s church had the repute of being
the rich, aristocratic and fashionable
church of the. city, so he ordered one of
his secretaries to do .9' little stragetie work
and hunt out some less pretentious place
of worship. At first it was decided by
him that he would take‘a pew in Dr.
Chester’s church; one of the new and
growing Presbyterian congregations, and
whose pastor and daughters have been
occasional visitors to the family of Cashier
greater distance, it is said, and the fact
that Dr. Sunderland was once the pastor
of the President’s widowed mother, it
was finally determined to secure a pew in
his church on Four-and-a-half street,
where his sisters are regular and devout
attendants, and where the President him-
self has appeared once. The circumstance
of this Presidential church locating was
made the subject of wide discussion, be-
cause of the fact that Dr. Bartlett so con-
fidently expected the Clevelands for the
first two or three Sundays in March, he
had orderedjhis family to sit with friends
thus leaving his pew conspicuously vacant
.in a :churcll where many strangers are'
forced to stand during service. Then the
other fact that Dr. Sunderland was and is
a most intense anti-slaveryuepublic an and
senate, of incorporating earnest and elo-
quent republican speeches in his prayers,
makes the selection of his church as the
President’s choice most peculiar and inter-
esting. At the outbreak of the rebellion,
worn and :worried out by slavery and
anti-slavery discussions inIhis church, the
good and zealous and loyal ‘Dr. Sunder-
land was granted several years leave of
absence to go to Paris and take the pas-
torate of the American. chapel there, now
in charge of our Rev. Dr. Augustus
Beard. It was to this Washington church
that Rev. Dr. Joseph Anderson “was in-
vited at a salary of $5,000 per year, (just
after his church in Norwalk had released
him, because it felt unable or unwilling to
raise his salary from $1,200 to $1,500), and
was prevented on account of, having obli-
gated himself to accept a call to Water-
bury. Dr. Anderson having been an
admirer and supporter of Mr. Cleveland
in the late election, the President’s action
would have been less singular had he be-
come and remained the pastor of this
Four-and-a-half street church. Dr. Sun-
derland was an ardent friend of the late
LeGrand Lockwood and many times a
visitor at his Norwalk palatial home. His
son wasalso an esteemed clerk in the
-. Lockwood Banking House in New York.
The sisters of the President are dignified,
exemplary Christian ladies, Miss Cleve-
land being an earnest and active working
perance Union.

The hatters’ long strike is at last ended.
After twenty—two weeks of fighting, a
treatyof peace has been adopted and active
warfare is at an end. ' '
Having failed to reach the desired
ultimatum through the national arbitration
committee, alocal committee of arbitration
was appointed, who, in joint conference
with the bosses, succeeded in mgking
terms nearer to mutual satisfaction, and
on their reporting to the trade, a hatters’
mass meeting was called in Music Hall
last night. The meeting. was attended by
a crowded house, the ladies’ association ’
being largely represented. At this.
meeting the report of the committee was .
discussed in detail, and finally accepted.
There was some dissent, however, and is
still dissatisfaction in the ranks, with the
stipulation of-the bosses, insisting on the
retentiou of the non-union trlnuners and
binders.~ The union ladies say that if the
nomuni'on trimmers are allowed to remain
in the shops, they themselves will be
compelledto continue out of employment.
They insist therefore, that the “foul"
trimmers be compelled .to take their
place in the union and thus all be placed
on an equal footing, 'and in this demand
the men ”stand by the women. It is
probable'that efforts will be at once made
to efiect amodification of this requirement
of the bosses. The firms interested in
the compromise are Crofu't 85 Knapp,
(two shops) and Solman, the shop of
Collin & Hurlbutt having previously
turned fair. Adams-85 Co. are the only
firm still standing out against the settle-
ment.
By the terms of the treaty, the bosses
discharge all the foul men imported from
abroad, and the Settlement of the question
of prices is satisfactory to the men.
The strikers are jubilant and say that
the strike has resulted in a victory for the
men, and will admit of no other con-
struction. First, inthebosses’ recognition

ond, in the surrender of the shops’

Last week we received from Mr. George
Holmes six monster eggs, the total cir-
feet, and the .largest of 'whieh measured
eight and one-half inches. These eggs
while the largest we had seen were not
laid on the same day-but were a collection
saved from eggs laid during the week by
Mr. Holmes’ fowls.
Yesterday, however, we received from
Mrs. Elizabeth Quintard, seven hens’ eggs
which were all laid Saturday, the 'com-
bined‘ circumference of which was four
feet and three inches, the largest being
7% inches from end to end. The total
weight of the seven was one pound nine
ounces. ,
We don’t know whether this big-egg
epizootic has attacked any more Norwalk
hens, but if so, we trust the owners
willnot be bashful about bringing'the evi-
dence forward. We certainly enjoy no-
ticing the enterprise of the fowls and
though not of a sordid nature, we enjoy
eating theeggs. '-

rnn SMOKE ou- orcnnmns.
The inhaling of the smoke of cigarettes
has been a common practice, and unless
one is graceful in them he is not con-
sidered a professional consumer. The
London Medical Times, in commenting
upon this subject, says: Of ordinary
cigarette smoking we say nothing; we
do not believe that smokingadozen
cigarettes a day, in the ordinary way,
ever did 'a grown-up person any tangible
,harm. But inhaling the smoke is a very '
different thing. Let even the most
inveterate smoker try this and he will be
convinced. Let him smoke an ordinary
Turkish cigarette while walking, and at
some distance from a meal, inhaling the
smoke well into the bronchial tubes.
Then if, before he has finished his
cigarette, he does not find his head grow .
dizzy, or his heart. begin to thump. or
his fingers tingle, we shall be quite ready
to congratulate him on the possession
of an excellent organism. Whether the
effect is due to en impressiom ou the
termination of the vague. or whether
the active principle of the tobacco is
absorbed and carried- straight to the
heart in the blood current, we shall not
undertake to decide; we only'descrilie
the fact. '

The pitcher plant, found on the
Island of Borneo, has long, narrow
leaves, each of whichhas a thick vein
running down the middle to the end,
where it forms a cord, to which Iis
fastened a kind of jug with alid and all
complete. Round the top is a thick
rim—stiff, like a wire—which keeps the
soft side of the jug inits, place. The
upper part of the pitcher is shaped like
afunnel, which runsdown to a bowl

A 0088. CHARACTER; ’
A strange sort of humorist, Commemn,
founder and constant editor of n wild bur- '
lenque little journal called Le flotamarre,
has just died at Paris. Commemon had no
Christian name; His parents hndsolne-
how forgotten to hnvd him baptized, and
accordingly he was known as “Commer-
nou," nudnothing else. At one time a pro-
fessor-nuke College of France, he was, for-
some unknown man, dismissed. There-
upon, wlth characteristic cynicism, he
started .usn shoeblack, and, establishing
himself ’on the Boulevard, exhibited} '
placard, on which he had inseam the
words, “Commornon,.shoeblnoIk, formerly
Professor of the College of France.”

Godfy's Lady’s Book for May is a number
of which the publishers may be proud.
It opene with a very attractive steel plate
frontlsplece, representing a beautiful child
,who holds nepray of vine leaves. The face
isa charming study of juvenile beauty
and brlghtness. The icture, which has
been aptly named “ ithout a Cloud,”
serves as an illustration to the story
entitled. “Ilola.” Christian Reid’s tWO-
part serial, ‘fAhInstrument of Separation”
«peas in this number, and the winning
little story of “Beauty’s Child” is happily
ended. “Under Gray Skies” is also
concluded this month”. Amon the short
stories are “Fanchon,” “A light Mis-
understanding,” and “Her Two Lovers,”
which go to make up an interesting
' budget of light literature. All of the
de artmcnts of Godeys Lady’s Book are
we 1 conducted and comprehensive.
There is not" another magazine in the
count which offers to' its’ subscribers
Iwhnt t is magazine does at the lowest
possible price of subscription. The recent
‘ ook offer of the publishers, which is still
in force will bear investigation. It has
"met with warmappreclation on all sides
and has attracted many new atrous to
the Lady’s Book. Messrs. J. . Haulen-
beck &, Co. do not intend, however, that
there shall be any diminution in the zeal
with which the prosecute their admira-
ble enterprise. t is proposed, if possible,
tomake- Godey’s Lady’s Book still more
attractive, and especial] utilitarian. so
that it may meet and sntls the every-day
wants of women in every station of life.

in which the history and present position
‘of the Roman Catholic Church in that
country is graphically described. This

“The Continents Sunday,” b William
Rossiter. reprinted from the Nineteenth
Century, offers food for much thought.
Some may consider it a model, others a
warning. Dr. Talmage’s sermon is en-
titled “Your Pedigree,” and in his Edi-

—It would astonish manya Londoner to
be told that he can go ‘ ‘Through London by
canal.” Nevertheless such is the fact ; and
that canal is the scene of the “little travels”
of a writer in the May Ham’s, who de-
scribes in detail how he journeyed from
beyOnd Paddiugton, the north-west of Lon-
don, through the most populous parts of
the great city, to the East End and the
lower Thames,on one of the many freight-
boats that ply on this “raging canal.” It
is§almost needless to say that the writer,
Dr. B. E. Martin, is an Ainerican, for it is
our own countrymen who have been the
most curious explorers of the Eu lish Ime-
tropolis, and :most of the boo s about
Dickens’s laces have been written by
them. An 11 lish artist, Mr. W.L, Wyllie,
accompanied im, and his sketches are.of
novel interest. The article is timely, be-
cause the canal is likly, in the course of a
year or so, to be transformed into the
roadway of a circuit railway which is to
take its place.
A Card.
Having been informed of a scandalous
report which has been . extensively cir-
culated concerning myself, I take this
means of denying in toto the charges made.
And I would esteem it a favor on the part
‘of any one hearing of such repel-t to inform
me of its source that I ma prosecute to
the full extent of the law t ose directly or
indirectly engaged in the attempt to ruin
my reputation and business. That the
as 11 report was originated by those to
whom the ruin of my business would be
an advantage, I have no doubt, and any
information tending to fasten the author-
ship upon any party or parties would be a
simple act of justice to me, and one that I
would most heartlily appreciate.

Donn it seem possible that any person would
be so foolish as to make the assertion that
Cntnrrh cannot be cured ? And yet you often
hear it made. To all of that o inion we would
suggest the speedy use of utton’s Cstarrh

argument that we can offer in contradiction.
