. A New Hotel.
We last week detailed the real estate
opening upon the old Benjamin Isaacs’,
or Samuel Lynes homestead now in
charge of Gen. Craufurd. These new
avenues and lots open up just the spot
for a new and commodious summer hotel
with all modern appointments and con-
veniences. There arehundreds of people
who would be glad to come to Norwalk
to pass their summer vacations. if they
could be comfortably accommodated.
Here is the spot of all others for Norwalk’s
new hotel. The close proximity of the
location to the village centre; to post
office, depot, horse cars, etc., make the
location unsurpassed, and then the old
trees and ample rear space, chance of
drainage into the harbor (etc., give the
Lynes site advantages possessed by no
other in Norwalk for a first-class hotel for
commercial and summer guests. No one
thing would more surely arouse the
present-sleepy, stagnant business condi-
tions of our village, as the erection
of a new and improved hotel. It
would not of itself pay a large return
on its cost, but there are plenty of good
landlords who would jump at the chance
of leasing such a hotel at six per cent. on
its cost, Will not our enterprising and
active “Board of Trade”, consider this
rare opportunity to inaugurate the. new
hotel enterprise.

Farewell to Governor Waller.
The close friends of Hon. Thomas A.
Waller tendered him a dinner Friday
evening at the St. Marc Hotel, Fifth
avenue, New York city, the night before
he sailed for London. The party num-
bered twenty-five, mostly Connecticut
friends, but also including Mayor Grace
and others of New York. Among those
active in arranging the affair were Colonel
N. G. Osborn=of New Haven, William H.
Stevenson of the Consolidated road,
General D. N. Couch of Norwalk,
General W. W. Skiddy of Stamford,
Colonel E. M. Graves of Hartford, S. A.
York of New Haven and Colonel Thomps
L. Watson of Bridgeport. The dinner
began at 8 o’clock and continued through
the night, ending at 7 a. m., when Gov-
ernor Waller took a carriage to the
steamer Brittauic. escorted by the entire
party.

Our Contemporaries.
The Bridgeport Evening Post was born
under alucky star, and has wallowed in
good lrrck ever since. Its latest stroke of
fortune is a $5,000 libel suit brought by
Timothy Haggerty for an item published
in the Post concerning his wife. LATER.—
Another streak of luck—George E. Hobbs
has. sued the Post for libel, his character
having suffered by the same article that
offended Haggarty.
The lVaterbury Allzerz'can is authority
on polo matters this year. The Danbury
Blues not being in the league the News

It was an unkind abbreviation on the

Danbury Blues to “D. B’s.”
The talk of a new daily morning paper
in Danbury, is again revived. W. A.

Too Much Work.
Ed. Nelson, the city carriage maker
and repairer, is afflicted with a deluge. of
work, the inevitable result. of advertising
in the GAZETTE. Other hives of industry
may complain of' “dull times," but he is
just inundated with new work and rcpair—

is in the same condition. Brit he also
advertises in the GAZETTE.

In the Ohm.
Improvements in the shape of new
uildings are just now all the rage, and
many new and fine structures have been
recently contracted for, or are being esti-
mated for. The new library building and
its mate for Mrs. Comatock will add much
to the appearance of Washington street,
and the erection of two additional stories
on the Lauder block will greatly improve
that corner. The “Volk Manufacturing
company” are to build an entirely fire
proof building near their factory for stor-
age, there being little wood used in its
construction, simply the outer doors.
There are several other buildings in course
of erection, or soon to be erected, on
Haviland and Marshall streets, and on
other streets without the fire limits. That
pond hole has been partially filled and one
spur track laid and ballasted, but matters
seem to have come to a standstill in that
quarter for the present, pro‘ving the adage
to be true, “large bodies move slow.”
There is one annoyance that is on the in-
crease, and it is likely to grow until this
state is annexed to Pennsylvania; that is
the almost constant and furious blowing
of the locomotive whistles, the latest in-
crease being the blowing of tlrrce one
thousand power blasts by engine drivers
of freight trains, coming from the east,
when their engines reach the Washington
and Main street crossing. These blasts,
which are almost daily heard in Ridgefield,
are blowed, it is said, to notify the switch-
men some five hundred feet distant that
he will be required to open a switch for
the incoming train, and our people are
enquiring if blasts that can be heard five
miles off would not do just as well as those
heard fifteen. Among other sounds that
are not calculated to enchant the public
are the cries of the hawkers who infest
Railroad square, and who are daily
licensed by our authorities for fifty cents
to yell to their hearts’ content. On Wed-
nesday evening last there was a roving
panorama on truck wheels, the whole con-
cern being about the size of a Saratoga
trunk, anda hawker of half grown bananas,
which were suggestive of. the coming
cholera, both on the square in front of the
post office, who, from mid afternoon until
8 o’clock p. m., had been yelling as if for
a wager, and when the Salvation army
came as usual for their opening prayers,
the two venders of small wares continued
their shouting much to the disgust of
every passer by, and the exclamation was
then heard and still continues, why do the
city authorities grant licenses to strangers
to injure the business of our own peeple,
who own or hire their stores, pay taxes,
and are good citizens? The echo answers
why?

. Newspapers of To-Day.
People generally, and even those who
may be termed steady and close observers,
have bill a faint. conception of the mag-
nitude atrd filflueuce the press of this
country has attained. From a careful
examination of the advance pages of the
1885 edition of the American Newspaper
Directory, issued May lst, by George P.
Rowell & 00.. of New York, it appears
that thege are 14,147 nervspapers and
periodicals published in the United
States and Canada; of these the United
States has 12,973, an average of one paper
for every 3,867 persons. In 1884 the total
number of newspapers was less by 823
than at present, and while the gain this
year is not so marked as in some previous
years, it is still considerable. Kansas
shows the greatest increase, the number
being 78, while Illinois follows with a
gain of 77. It is curious to notice that
New York, the scene of so much political
’ activity during the last campaign, should
have only about one-third as many new
papers as the state of Pennsylvania As
an index to the comparative growth and
prosperity of difiercnt sections of Ille
country, especially the territories, the
number of new papers forms an interest-
ing study, and may well occupy the at-
tention of the curious.

A Contemptible Outrage.
Tire recent storm blew down a large part.
oftheFairGround fcncc,and that the wood
might be saved the Agricultural Society
engaged S. B. Wilson to rebuild at once.
Mr. Wilson’s men were thus engaged on
Saturday. The job not being finished
Saturday night they left their tools in
Horticultural Hall where they had prev-
iously put a carpenter’s bench. Monday
morning upon going to this building to
gctlhc tools they found that, between
Saturday night and Monday morning
some miscreant had afi‘cctcd an_entrancc
into the building. The tools had been
gathered together in a lurnch upon the
bench and a lire started under them.
The wooden handles wcrc destroyed and
some. of them ruined by the heat. Tllc
bench was also somewhat charred and it
was only tllc absence of a draught that
prevented the fire from catching the
building. Had thcfirc been started under
the bench the building would probably
have soon caught fire and been destroyed.
As it was the act. looks more like the
work of boys on mischief bent rather than
a deliberate attempt at incendiarisnr.

g Oyster Litigation.
In April, 1883, nine suits wcrc brought
by the town of Clinton against as many
owners of oyster grounds in the Hamtno-
nasset river, asking to have the designa—
tions of the defendants set aside, under
the statute of 1870, on the ground thatthc
oyster beds were natural at. the time of
designation. Motions were made to erase
'a material part. of each complaint on the
ground that such parts were irrelevant.
The cases have been in court. ever since,
awaiting the decision of supreme court
upon a general petition brought under the
statute of 1881. All proceedings under
the last mentioned suit were set aside. a
few months since by the supreme court.
and the shellfish commissioners were ap-
pointed a new committee to try the cases.
The new committee will begin sessions on
May 93 in Clinton. Friday Judge Stod-
dard in the superior court in Middletown,
heard arguments by Judge Lynde Harri-
son who appeared for the oyster growers,
and Washington F. Wilcox who represent-
ed the town of Clinton, upon the motion
to erase, and reserved his decision. At
the same. time he appointed Judge Pike a
committee to hear the cases afterthe hear-
ing before the shellfish commissioners.—

Spring Styles in Rats.
“There will not be much change in the
style of hats this season,” said a promin-
ent Cliestnrrt street hatter yesterday.
“Thelrigh silk hats are a little higher and
straighter—less of a bell shape and with a
little higher curl in the rim. The Derbys
arc nurclr the same, only there is a little'
deviation in the direction of square crowns.
One of the new things is a reddish brown
tan and a greenish gray, with a bronze
hand, both made in London. Altogether
the new styles are less changed
than they have been in many sea-
sons. Tweed hats will be worn to
some extent, but there are some imitations.
The real Tweed hats that come here are
of English make. These Tweed hats are
usually worn on rainy days or for travel-
ing. The high silk hat remains the most
dressy article of headwear for gentlemen.
The Derby, however, will be the most
worn .—Philadelphia Times.

The responsibility of insane homicides
is being discussed and arousing consider-
able interestin Pennsylvania. Clark Bell,
of the New York Medico—Legal society,
recently read a paper before the Philadel-
not. they were capable of realizing the
enormity or consequences of their crimes.
Chief Justice Mercur, of the Pennsylvania
supreme bench, however, holds a differ—
ent view. He says that unless the pro-
pensities are such as to subjugate the in-
tellect, control the will, and render it. Im-
possible to do otherwise than yield to
delusive impulses, “ the. plea of moral iu-
sanity is not sufficient to constitute a
defense." «. The establishment of a divid-
ing line betwocn guilt and irresponsibility
is a nice point in medico-legal jurisprm
deuce, and one which has not. yet, and
may not soon be satisfactorily settled.
Meantime it might. be well to consider as
the only proof of insanity in murderers,
and the only one that. would justify ju—
dicial leniency, the supplementary crime
of suicide.

In all the churches Sunday, might

of the family physician is really necessary
as no one better than he understands the
constitution and health of his patient.
This matter of d rugging by dentists should
have legislative attention. And until it
does, just such distressing accidents as

I have been taken to task, and quite
severely, by some. well meaning friends,
for my alleged immodesty in referring to
Norwalk’s brothel, in my last letter. I
regretto offend the modesty of any one
but I regret more than all, thc lack of
official duty on the part of our borough
authorities which makes such offense
necessary. That. a house of ill fame
keeps open doors on our principal business
street and that the police and the grand
jurors know this fact is beyond controv-
crsy. Why it is not. suppressed is a
‘ question many ask but none answer. It
would seem that the system of police
protection offered criminals in other
citlcs and which is a source of_ large In-
come to the individual members of the
police force, was in' active operation
here, and that the same silver “gag" was
liberally applied to higher authorities. I
do not say'this is so; but I do say it has
that appearance. And so long as this
putrid growth is allowed to stand just so
long will the borough officials, high and
low, rest under the suspicion of being

Austin—Converse.
The following account of the marriage
of A. E. Austin, Esq., of Norwalk, and
Miss Caroline B. Converse, of Norwich, in
that city on Wednesday, is taken from the
Norwich Morning Bulletin :—
At half ast5o’clock the wedding of
Miss Caro ine Richardson Converse and
Mr. Alfred Ely Austin, 9. well-know law—
yer of Norwalk, Conn., occurred at the
residence of the bride‘s parents, Colonel
and Mrs. Charles Augustus Converse, on
Washington street. At the appointed
hour Rev. S. H. Giesy took his position in
the alcove at the end of the parlor, and
the bridal company entered, while Miller’s
orchestra, stationed in the music room,
rendered festal strains. First came the
ushers, Messrs. W. F. Davis and Theodore
R. Converse, the latter a cousin of the
bride; followed by the bridesmaids, Miss
Tillie Converse, a cousin of the bride, and
Miss Mamie Post, of Brooklyn, 9. niece of
the groom; and the bride, leaning on her
father‘s; arm. The bridegroom ‘ accom-
panied by his best man, Mr. H. E. Hen-
derson, of South Abington, entered
through ajside door and met the bride
before the minister. The bride was ele-
gantly attired in a rccc .tion costume
(modeled after Worth's esign) of rich
material, consisting of a silver satin back-
ground, brocadcd in delicate blue; with
Ottoman tablier; and'trimmed with point
duchcsse lace. Her ornaments were dia-
moods, and she carried a bouquet of
Marechal Niel roses. Dr. Giesy performed
the ceremony in an impressive manner
according to the Episcopal ritual, (this
being his last official act. in Norwich),
after which Mr. and Mrs. Austin received
the congratulations of those present.
From 0 to 8 o‘clock followed a general
reception of friends, and the number and
heartincss of the congratulations attested
the esteem in which the newly married
couple are held. Tillingbast, the popular
Providence caterer, provided a superb
wedding feast.
Among the guests from out of town
were Augustus T. Post, of Booklyn, a
phia Medical .society, in Wild! be well known banker, and the Misses Con-
condemned the hanging of insane verse of Provédencefione of whom wriitcs

murderers, regardless 0f whether or ticles for the Journal. The bride was
the recipient of a large number of presents,
notably among which were twenty-four
shares of valuable manufacturing stock
from her husband, and the deed of a
completely furnished house in Norwalk
from herafathcr. After i} more or less ex—
tended wedding tour, Mr. and Mrs. Austin
will go to housekeeping in Norwalk.
Connecticut’s U. B. Senators.
“Towie,” the Washington correspond-
cut. of the Boston Traveller, thus estimates
the work of our Connecticut senators:
“Senator Platt of Connecticut, spoke
on twenty-six different subjects, but the
total of his remarks only occupied thirty—
six pages in the Congressional Record.
Among the subjects upon which he
addressed the senate were the following:
“Common Schools,” “Mexican War Pen-
sions," “Consular Courts " “Patent Olficc
Reorganization,” and " elegraph Consol-
idation.” He made nineteen reports,
fourteen of which came from the com-
mittcc on patents, of which he is the
chairman.
Senator Hawley of Connecticut, spoke
on fifty subjects, and his remarks occupied
ninety—one pages in the Congressional
Record Among his important specchcs
were the following: ‘Labor Bur-can,"
“Common School.” “Kansas (‘attlc Dis-
ease,” “Mexican War Pensions.” “Polit—
ical Contributions,” “Relief of Fitz-John
Porter," "Public Lands," “Army Courts-
Martial,” “Confederate State Papers,"
and “Interstate Commerce." He made
forty-nine reports, thirty-five being from
the committee on printing, of which he is
the chairman, thirteen from military affairs
and one conference report.

When James Condon of Seymour
nephew named James Howard tried to
have him leave relatives with whom he had
been living, but failed because theywould
not let him be moved out of the house.
The old man had about$10,000, and How-
ard held the securities. Now the old man
has recovered and wants his property.
Howard replies that he is kept in terror
by the relatives with whom Ire lives and is
not fit to have it.
Woodcfhucks will have to be cautious as
to their diet henceforth or pay a serious
penalty. Cornwall farmers, whose pn-
tience has doubtless been tried until it is
no longer a virtue, now tempt their appe-
tites with apples which have been unkind-
ly loaded with arsenic. Whether or not
there is occasion for the Humane Society
to investigate this practice we will not un-
dcrtake to determine—but care should be
observed on the part of those who resort.
to this method of ridding themselves of the
posts lest sonic suspicious and cunning
woodclruck rolls the poisoned apple out of
his den to tempt the most valuable Jersey
of the Irerd.——Winstcd Harold.

A Clerical View.
The Rev. Lyman Abbott made the fol-
lowing excellent observatiops on the labor
question at a meeting of The New Haven
Congregational club, Monday evening:—
Understsnding that here before you it is'un-
ccessary for me to disavow socialistic and
nihilistic principles, I aflirm that nothing can
solve the problem of” socialism save Christi-
anity. Work we owe to wage-earners, not
charity; for society is rotten indeed when one
class aubsists on the charity of another. Under
the Christian law society is bound to help these
wage-earners, bound,"I should say, to give
them a fair proportion of the profits that em-
ployers derive. Nay, more: any man who
uses his wealth selfishly for himself
is guilty of nothing short of embezzlement.
Any man willing to work and able, might to be
employed. Labor ought to get a fair share of
the profits derived from it. This is only right,
only net. I remember that Mr. Blaine told us
last all that our wealth had wonderfully in-
creased. Mr. Blaine said nothing at. all about
the distribution of this wealth. In fact, the
wealth is in the hands of of the few; the work-
ing man gets his subsistence,,fhc capitalists
the rofltr. When you know that nearly one
tent of the populalion of the big metropolis
consists of beggars, you probably exclaim, “Is
this right? Is this just?” magine your-
selves in crowded tenements, sickness, disease
and poverty about you, and then you will un-
derstand how the wage-workers’ pulse may
throh and» his cheek flush with indignation.
No matlcr what the Workera’ faults may be,
they do not excuse an employer’s negligence.
The employer is Just as much ,a servant as the
employed. Why, the President himself is a
servant in this country, and it is astonishing
and gratifying to see how many there are
among us who are willling to serve as such.
We have a democracy of religion and politics,
and need a democracy of' industry. These
three things are to be considered: [In oppor-
tunity to work;a fair share of the profits of
the workuome voice in the control and ad-
ministration of the industry. The government
itself ought to set the example and control the
telegraph system of the country at least. And
I am glad to think that we of to-day may justly
look to the time when. instead of employer and
employed. we shall have the two classes joined
in a common interest, that of partnership.
When we know how to become Christian em-
an luvv to make others
5
ployers ourselves, we c
Christian.

Frank Leslie‘s Popular Monthly 101‘ May
deals largely-with original and timely
article's. .‘. It opens with an. article by W
A. Croffut, tlre'wcll-known Ir‘cwspaper cor-
respondent, entitlci “The‘BirtIi of a New
Party.” Alvan S. Southwm‘th describes
“The New State of Congo,” and its im-
portance to the trade and commerce of the
world. The Egyptian-question comes in
for its share in the article on Colonel F. G.
Burnaby, with portraits of Burnaby and
his wife, views of his home, and scenes in
his career. Popular science is provided
in “A Feather," by ~Dr. Hans Gadow, with
fifteen illustrations showing a feather in
every possible form and stage of develope—
.ment. The story clement isvwell kept up.
Garrett Walker’s serial, “‘Thc Death
Mark," reaches its thirty-third chapter,
and there are six short stories. ”Brant’s
Shooting at Cape Cod,” by Orville Deane,
_will please the sportsman, the article on
“Deaf Mutes,” b the philanthrophist;
“In the Alsatian It ountains,” by Katherine
Lee, the traveler; and “The Vegetable
Wonder of Mexico,” by Emily Pierce, the
botanist. All of these articles are illustra-
ted, some of the pictures being very beau-
tiftrl. There are several poems of con-
siderable merit, and numerous short ar-
ticles, interesting and timely. Published
by Mrs. Frank Leslie, 53, 55 and 57 Park
Place, New York.

It is a curious factthat one of the most
famous poems in our language originally
appeared In a magazine that seldom touches
poetry at all, and the same periodical,
after an interval of sixty—six years, now
brings out another oem very similar in
theme. Bryant's “ hauatopsis"was first
printed in the North American Review for
September, 1817. _ Tue May number of
the Review, just out has a poem by Robert
Buchanan on “The New Buddha.” The
critics found fault with Mr. Bryant’s poem
on the ground that it was tin-Christian ; it
remains to be seen what they will say to
Mr. Buchanan’s. The‘ question, “Has
Christianity Benefitted Women ?" is ably
discussed in this number by Mrs. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton and Bishop J. L. Spalding.
President J . L. Pickard writes on “Why
Crime is Increasing,” and David Dudley
Field on “Industrial 0-0peration," whilc
Professor Andrew F. West, of Princeton,
contributes an article of real clearness
and strength on “What is cademic Free-
dom." James Payn. the English novelist,
discusses “Success in Fiction,” and T.
F. Thiselton Dyer “Superstition in English
Life.” The new department ofCommenls
keeps well up to the standard with which
it started.

Literary Note.
-—’l‘hc Poet Whittier, who is always
among the far sighted in all things per—
taining to human liberty and growth,
writes about Tourgcc’s ‘ ‘ Appeal toCresar,"
and its bearing on an important. question
of the day: " I have read Judgc’i‘onl-gec's
, book with the deepest interest. . ll . is a
strong and powerful presentation of the
great. danger and nccd of our country at,
the present. time. [tsclarion call to the
duty of educating every voter, black and
while, in tllc United States, I trust will be
heard. * ,. * 'l‘hcauthor deserves the
thanks 01' every well-wishcrofhis country."
The continued appearance of articles 011
the mutual relations of Black and White
in all the higher grade of reviews and
magazines indicates a popular thoughtful-
ness on this whole subject, which it is to
be hoped will bear frllit. during the next
session of congress.
