Wrong End First.
Vice-Presiden‘ Hendricks is unques-
tionably the most picturesque and inter.
.csting. character in American politics.
He feels now more than ever asSured
that the Chicago Convention reversed the
“proper. order. of its. candidates on‘the
presidential ticket and thus makes its
present status of the kangaroo order with
a great prodominence of strength in its
hinder part. In short that the young and
inexperienced Cleveland is president and
he, the aged veteran politician, only vice-
president, is to Mr. Hendricks an affront
and standing offense. He would know
much better how to cOnduct the admin-
istration for the benefit, not of the coun-
try, but of the democratic party. He is
a sly old fox and Wiley manipulator, and
has already given the president more
trouble in his begging for oflices,
than all the hungry err-congressmen who
have besieged and bombarded the White
House. All the vice-presidents since
Buchanan’s day have gladly refrained
from the undignified struggles~ and,
squabbles as mendicant place hunters.
The vice-president’s friends say that he
has been touched with a partial paralysis
that has greatly impaired his once strong
judgment—in fine, that he‘is old and.
much broken. This is doubtless true, for
though his once recognized sagacity seems ,
to have largely left him, he has shown
himself tovbe like the superannuated mule
the possessor of a good deal more "willf
than wind. He. first made a mdst
unseemly and indecorous fight With-
Congressman—elect Byuum of the Indian-
apolis District for postmaster for that
city. The customs prevailing at the post
office department and all previous party
usages made the naming of this post
master the special prerogative of the
congressman. The President in his good
nature concluded that as the vice-presi-
dent had really no patronage to claim or
bestow, save his personal secretary and
messenger at the Senate, and that he had
immediately placed his henchmen in
those unimportant berths, that it would
be but generous to grant him the Indian-
apolis post master although his candi-
date was a man seventy years old, and so
far as his hold on his partywas concerned
had, like his champion, drifted a quarter
of a century to the rear. To ease the
disappointment justly felt by Congressman
Bynum who had urged a thrifty, active
democrat with first class business ac-
complishments, the President suggested
that he would be glad ,to allow him to
select the internal revenue collector for
his state. This the vice-president knew
when he at once began to besiege Mr.
Cleveland for that appointmen also.
The President was embarrassed, but as
the vice—president had been endorser or
claimiant for about every place in his gift,
he this time gave no heed to the Hon—
drick’s candidate and Bynum was invited
to name his man. He had barely done so
when a new difficulty developed. Mr.
Holman .had specially asked for that
particular office for a friend of his.
Learning this Mr. Hendricks enlisted
Senator Voorhees, Judge Lowry and all
the democratic congressmen from Indiana
‘ 1
The Everlasting.
The hatters’ strike is ended—barring
the fact that it still continues. The
compromise which was ratified last week
has not yet been carried into effect, and
there is dissatisfaction among a certain
percentage of the men over some of its
provisions, and among the bosses over
others. The men, however, claim that
although the agreement is not exactly
what they w0uld wish in every particular,
yet in view of "the fact that they had
virtually agreed, by consenling to the
appointment of the local arbitration
committee,'to abide by the result of that
Committee’s conference with the bosses,
they are willing to carry out their part Of
the agreement. The makers, at a meeting
held Saturday afternoon, endorsed the‘
articles of agreement, and ,now all hands
in every department of the trade stand
ready to resume work on the very terms
that thebosses approved, and to which
they agreed. They now represent that
the bosses,- Crofut & Knapp particularly,
are up to “funny business.” They have
fulfilled their part of the agreement so. far
as to clear both their shops of the “foul”
hands, male and female, but when “fair”
men and women applied yesterday
morning for work they were very coolly
informed that “our shops are now fair
shOps, but wehave no work, consequently
have no use for you.”
The opinion prevails among the strikers
that in the terms of agreement the corn-
promise on prices being more likely to be
unsatisfactory to the makers than the
finishers, the bosses reckoned on a split
in the ranks when it came to ratification,
but the uniformity with . which the
associations hold together, was . a
disappointment to the combination,
hence their petty plans to worry the
strikers. The bosses protest also, that
the fines imposed by the associations on
the foul men, are too heavy. An officer
of the association said to our reporter:
“The actions of the bosses and the
unsatisfactoryprovisions of the agreement
have got our people into that frame of
mind that if the employers persist in their
little, narrow tantalizing schemes to avoid
carrying out their agreement, the men
will not hesitate to take up the old fight
just where it left off, back of the com-
promise. We have scored a victory in
compelling them to recognize, not only
the two old associations, but also a third
one, which never existed before—the
trimmers’—in spite of their emphatic and
widely circulated assertion that they
would never again under any circum-
stances, allow a member of any union to
work in their shop.”
The stipulations of the agreement with
which the men are not perfectly satisfied
are, the forming mill and make shop
prices. The “30 cents an hour” clause is
an infringement on the law of the
association which requires that only one
man shall work by the day in any
forming mill, the others to be pieccllands;
and if this provision is carried out, that
law in the national code must be altered.
In regard to the make shop wages, the
makers say that by endorsing the com—
premise they have agreed to accept the
bill of prices giving them one cent less
than the reduced bill against which they
went on strike five months ago.
In this view of the case, itwill be plainly
seen that the strikers have acted honor-
save Bynllm and charged on the Presr- “bly and fairly in their efforts to bring the
dent. Messrs. Hendricks and Voorhees
pleaded eloquently and long for the vice-
president’s candidate, when the President
cut short their importuning by the fol—
lowing remark: “Gentlemen, Congress-
man Holman has made particular request
for this appointment.
giving it to Mr. Bynum, but (and with a
mischievous sparkle in his eye, as he
directed it toward the vice-president) this
is the only favor Bynum has asked, nor
is that all, he says it is the only one he
will ask. I should like you gentlemen to
inform lnc how I should be justified in
thwarting his wishes?” On this rebuff
the party retired, when it is said, Mr.
Hendricks turned to his associates in
indignant heat and said: “Great Scott
and has it come to this that Bill Holman
is to overrule with the President, the,
wishes of the vice-president, thc'senator
and his fellow members-of Congress?”
Since the vice-president stood erect in his
carriage on inauguration day hat in hand
to receive the cheers of the exultant
crowds while the President dignifiedly
retained his seat, no such exciting
amusement has ever been furnished by
any vicepresident since this country has
indulged in the superfluous luxury. No
man has contributed so largely to the
humorous and ludicrous fund of the new
administration as Mr. Hendricks- He is
now, it is said,wrestling withzthe problem
Of how best to get grand old Joe Mc-
Donald out of the country and out of his
sun and moonshine.

Grand Army Lecture.
Rev. Dr. Anderson gave his highly on—
tertaining lecture on a Cavalry raid on
» board of a steamboat, in aid of Bucking-
ham Grand Army Post to a large and de-
lighted audience, at the Opera House, as
announced in last week’s GAZETTE. While
replete with thrilling and pathetic inci—

splitting anecdotes and humor. The elo-

and wits about him as thoroughly in war

Considerable reading matter of local in-

I had intended
strike to an end. They have agreed to
sacrificial terms of settlement and hold
themselves in readiness to abide by them.
And if the compact is not carried into
action, the responsibility of its failure
cannot be imputed to the hatters, nor
’will it detract one iota from the public
sympathy in their cause, but rather, add
to and intensify it.

It Wasn’t That at All I
The public’s most reliable and obliging
servant “Billy” Buxton, the expressman,
dodged the enterprising local press out of
a first class item last week, in this wise :
His steed was headed for the cemetery,
while to the vivid imagination of our
reporter his countenance betokened un-
usual solemnity. In his express wagon
passers by observed to lay a newly planed
box about thirty inchesheight and breadth
by some six feet in length. Pencil in
hand our reporter in subdued and rever-
ent tone, requested to know “whose re-
mains, and if they came up from New
York!” “‘Why that isn’t a corpse,its only
a new bath tub—where baths are not here-
ditary in every family, for a man up Main
street ‘3" quoth the ever prompt Buxton.
The crushed item gleaner retired, reflect-
ing that if cleanliness was next to godli-
ness and soap, an active means of grace,
how much greater a public benefactor is
that Main street man—who so startled our
community by the introduction into our
town‘ of a bath tub—than is the proverbial
philanthropist who makes two blades of
grass grow where only one grew before.

This highly favored community has
been copiously blessed of late with. a
deluge of cheap drama, comprising the
good, passable and indifferent in comedy,
tragedy and trashery, attracting crowds
ranging from the sublime to the discour-
aging. In some cases the leading parts
were taken by actors; in others they were
not. Moved by the power, or lack of
power shown on tllc'stage, the audience
shed tears or sneers. There was histronic
talent of a high order, that dignified the
actor’s calling; and there were what
hatters would call “scab” comedians who
jested in sober earliest by presenting the
unique spectacle of burlesque burlesqued.
Ihave heard of one or two complaints
from sensitive patrons of the drama, who
were shocked by the “immodest" cos:
such sensitiveness seems somewhat
forced. To be sure, occasionally a frisky~
damsel would skip out before the foot-
lights in a dress that “began late and
ended early,” but it was invariably the
case that the requirements of the character
she assumed demanded just such a rig,
and any other would have been incon-
gruous. There was no wanton exposure
of wish-bone, however, and any excep-
tions taken, to the cut of the dress,
granting the legitimacy 0f the Mk, would
seem to be azbetrayal, eitherof ignorance,
or mock modesty which is rarely entitled
to consideration.
a:
In the April ndmber*.of Sturges’ Real
Estate Journal I find this pertinent
question: “Why is it that the people of
Norwalk are so stupid in the rules of
etiquette?” That’s a pointed question
which implies 'a misuse of a popular
institution on the part of the people of
Norwalk. What are the indications of
this dcreliction? Mr. Sturgcs complains
of the bad taste shown in failing to
introduce one’s guest to one’s neighbors
and fellow townsmen. This is an ofienSe
that- admits of palliation. In many cases
an indiscriminate introduction would be
not only undesirable but distasteful to the
guest. Few men care to be subjected to
the ordeal of responding to .a lot of
miscellaneous introductions to persons
whom they may never see again, and in
whom they can have no possible interest,
and the “etiquette” that requires it is a
bore and a humbug. It is always easy to
secure an introduction ,to those whose
acquaintance one wishes to form, and
others are to be avoided. Again, Mr.
Sturges says young ladies will speak to
you when you are in certain company,
and at other times will avoid recognition.
This is an offense against good manners
that can only be excused on the plea of
gross ignorance: Mr. Sturges accounts
for this “stupidity” of the “people of
Norwalk” on the ground that “Norwalk
is made up of little cli'ques and clans,
upper crust, upper tens,” etc. Be that
as it may. The true lady is not distin-
guished by the boorish prudery that
controls her clique or clan, but by the
extent to which she shows herself free
from its petty discriminations. The con-
ventional etiquette of clique and clan is
an infringement on individual rights.
Hypocrisy is its soul; deception its life.
Circumstances must determine action;
and a code of rules applicable to all
temperaments and efficacious under all
circumstances cannot'be furnished, ready
made, like the instructions on a bottle of
bedbug poison.

Our Representatives.
The HartfordEvening Post with its usual
enterprise has published its “Annual,” :1
handsomely bound, gilt-edged book, con-
taining biographies of all the state officers,
with portraits of many of them. Among
them we notice the benevolent face of
Hon. Asa Smith, of N orwalk, senator from
this (13th) district, accompanied with a
pithy biographical sketch. But neither of
our Norwalk representatives appear in the
portrait gallery, which is much 'to the dis-
advantage of the gallery, not only' in the
default of the requisite $20 each, but in the
omission of two physiognomies that would
have been a credit to the work, either one
being as handsome as any man the book
contains. From their biographies, how-
ever. we learn that Crofut is a pioneer
hat manufacturer, whose firm—Crofut&
Knapp—introduced the Derby hat into
this country, .and now employ over 350
hands! that he was born in 1833, attended
the common schools and learned the hat-
ter’s trade; istreasurer of tho-water fund,
a director of the city national bank and
Fairfield Insurance company; has been
in 'the common council, and a director
and a vice-president of the First National
bank, and was Delegate Hill’s alternate to
the national Republican convention at
Chicago last June. Price’s pedigree in
the book, relates that he is a democrat
born in 1822, educated in the common
schools, and has been a carpenter and
builder for thirty-nine years. For three
years he was a selectman and a burgcss of
the borough‘ of Norwalk.

The Earle-Woodward Wedding.
It is safe to, say that the spacious walls
of the First Congregational church never
encompassed a larger gathering than was _
present Wednesday evening to witness
the wedding of Mr. Arthur G. Earle and
Miss Mary H. Woodward. A large num-
ber of invitations had been issued and the
main body of the church and the side
aisles were closely filled with the guests.
The galleries had been, thrown opento»
spectators and these began to gather be-
fore six o’clock, until, at seven, the ,hour
announced for the ceremony, it was al-
most impossible to secure standing room.
Mr. A. S. Gibson presided at the organ
which fairly seemed to talk:- Melody after
melody rang from the giant pipes and ,
made pleasant the short season of Waiting.
The church was elegantly decorated, the '
'pulpit being one mass of flowers and pet-
ted plants. The ushers, Messrs. J .- H.
Bailey, HsP. Price, T.S. Morison andW.
S. Moody, Jr., were kept busily engaged
in seating the guests. ’
Shortly after seven Mr. Gibson began
the wedding march and every eye was fas.
tened on the double doors leading from
the vestbule. These quickly flew open
and the wedding party appeared up the
main aisle. First came the ushers, follow-
ed by the bridesmaids and their escorts.
Then came the maid of honor followod by
the bride leaning on her father’s arm.
The groom with his best man met the par-
ty at the altar. The ceremony, performed
by Rev. Mr. Anderson, was unusually
impressive, having been arranged for the
Occasion. .At its conclusion the bride and
groom were escorted to their carriage and
driven to the bride’s former home where
a reception was held of the immediate
friends and relatives of the contracting
parties. After a short season of hearty
cOngratulations the bride and groom'left
for New York, where they stopped till
Saturday, going then to Washington, D. C.,
from which place ”they return this week.
The young couple will make their home
in Norwalk, Mr. Earle engaging in busi-
ness in New York.
The costumes worn at the wedding
were elegant and. handsome. I The bride
was attired in white velvet with , satin
train and corsage of Duchesse lace, dia-
mond ornaments. The maid f honor,
Miss Sallie S. Betts was dressed in white
silk with train. The bridesmaids, Miss
Sarah Woodward, the bride’s sister, and
Miss Davies, a cousin of the groom, wore
white satin with overdresses of white
tulle with sprays of chenille and silver.
Each carried large baskets of Jacquemi-
acts and tea roses- The best man, Mr.
Nelson Taylor, and Messrs. H. B. Han-
ford and Fred W. Hoyt, the groomsmen,
were attired in the conventional black.
The-relatives of the contracting parties
were also elegantly dressed, and among
them may be briefly noted: the grand-
mother of the groom, dark blue velvet
and point lace, diamond ornaments; Mrs.
\Vm. H. Earle, pink satin with point lace,
diamond ornaments; Mrs. Ferdinand
Earle, brocaded velvet, diamond orna-
ments; Mrs. Eugene Earle, black satin,
Spanish lace; Miss Earle, pink surah and
white lace; Mrs. Davies, white satin, dia-
mond ornaments; Mrs. E. M. Brown,
plum colored satin and embossed velvet,
pearl ornaments; Miss Paradise, silver
green silk, white lace 'and daisies; Miss
Susie Paradise, white silk and white rose-
buds; Miss Snelling, white surah silk ;'
' Mrs. Joseph Backus, aunt of the bride,
black satin, English violets; Mrs. John
Woodward, black satin and point lace;
Miss Henderson, the bride’s cousin, pink
satin and point lace.
Among the wedding ' guests were dis-
played many handsome costumes, many
of those present being in full dress.

self and his new associates. Firstly, he has
formed an alliance with Charles Roiohe lit Bro-
ther, the great capturers and importers of wild
animals. This firm have supphod ninety er
cent of all the animals now on exhibition in in
country. Havin induced the Messrs. Beiche
to embark in the 8 our business, all their won-
derful facilities are en'oyed, ‘and‘as a matter of
dollars and cents muc money has been saved.
Manager Fro-t intends tb give the public the
benefit of it, therefore the admission to Van
Amburgh, Charles Roiohe & Brothers, New
Railroad Shows will be fixed at half-price all
round—Admission,Twenty-Five Gents. The
demand of the paying public of late has been
for good shows at popular pl'lIOB, and Frost
and the Batches have taken the tide at the
flood which leads to popular favor and for-
tune. The roprietors announce that the
are fully egmppod in every department, an
mom-e to give twice as good a show as any-
dy else for half “I? money. .The circus

fession, and contain. Mitsura’s Royal Dragon

some more statistics by way of compari-
son which arc not only interesting but
suggestive. He says :
“Fifty years ago calico was 25 cents per
yard, now 5_ cents; broadcloth from $5 to
$6 per yard; Kentuckyjean '75 cc'nts, now
25, and about as cheap then as now.
Then the women spun the yarn and wove
the cloth; then it went to the carding ma-
chinetwas pulled, colored, made ready to
make Into clothes, the" tailor cut the gar»
ments and the seamstress made the clothes
and had from 25 to 50 cents a day and
worked from twelve tO fourteen hours
each day. Then farmers did not go to the
stores and get ready-made clothing; they
believed in home manufactures.
burial for '85, now $50is very cheap; then
a coffin would cost. $5, few but paupers
use coflnsnow ; then caskets were not in
fashion; then people thought God was no
respecter of persons, apparently they
think he will respect the coffin now, espe-
lally if a costly monument mark the
grave. These few items suggest the
thought that some one rules. It is not
cotton‘neither is it. com; it is some one
from _over the sea and its name is
“Fashion,” and it ruleswith a rod of iron."

A miserable practical joke by a “smart”
boy Saturday resulted in the horrible death
of little Mary Prior in Wallingford, aged
Sycars. The child had crawled into a
pig pen, and the boy, to frighten her,
stuck a lighted stick into the straw,
setting it on fire. She was frightfully
burned about the back and thighs, and
the skin and nails of both hands peeled
off. She died in two hours.»
