Can It: Be 80 P
There is a bit of White House gossip
floating about Washington to the effect
that the chsidcnt’s recent caustic letter
to the erring democratic brother who had
Signed the petition of an applicant for
omce and then sent a private letter to the
Presidegt announcing the applicant’s un-
worthiness and desiring that his signature
“should not count”—was largely designed
to rebuke a still more flagrant case from
New Haven! As the story runs Ex-Gov.
Caleb B. Bowers came down like a wolf
on the fold, with the most numerously and
influentially signed petition of any demo-
crat who has yet solicited office from the
President. The petition of Counsel Gen-
eral Waller, bore no comparison to the
I ponderously endorsed application of Gov.
' Bowers. His best of names is said to
have run up and down through his party
from Ex-Gov. English and Ingersoll to the
manipulators of all the word primaries
and the party “galoots” who had to be
paid a dollar for voting their owu ticket.
But no sooner had the justly confident
Bowers laid his petition before the Presi—
dent and prepared himself to receive the
Commission as Collector of the Port of
New Haven, than the President was in-
undated with personal appeals and letters
without number, begging that the owner’s
names on the Bowers petition should not
count. The protests were uniformly to
the effect, that the parties did not wish or
dare to anger Bowers, or that he had bored
them so persistently that they had signed
his petition ‘to get rid of him, &c.,&c., but
implored the President privately not to
consider their signatures as at all sincerely
given. The President being a novice in
such political sculdeggery, naturally be-
came very indignant and as the story runs
gave out his recent letter to the associated
Press intending it as much for the latitude
of New Haven, as for the Cincinnati man.

The Coming Fair.
In announcing the 45th annual fair of
the Fairfield County Agricultural Society
to be held on their grounds in Norwalk,
on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, Sept. 15, 16, 16 and 18, the direc-
tors promise that the exhibition will exceed
any show heretofore given by the Society,
and as the board of managers this year is
made up of energetic and reliable men
there is every reason to believe that the
fair of 1885 will meet with the unqualified
approval of all, including the chronic
“kickers.” The grounds are in first-class
condition, and the buildings, stalls, stock
yards, grand stand, etc., are in good re-
pair. The main exhibition hall contains
15,000 square feet of floor surface and ad-
mirably arranged for the safety and pro-
tection Of articles offered for competition
and exhibition. The directors especially
appeal to the merchants,farmers, mechan-
ics, artists and ladies of Norwalk and the
county for their hearty co-operation in the
exhibition, arguing justly that “they pos-
sess both the rcsoru'ces and the ability for
making an exhibition as large, fine, inter-
esting and successful as those in any part
of the county or state." With this co-op-
cration and fair weather, the most grati-
fying success is confidently looked for.
Every effort is promised by the officers to
protect from injury all articles submitted
for competition or exhibition.
The premiums, as set forth in the list
are liberal and stimulating, and the selec-
tion of judges has been admirable, a. pre-
caution, the lack . of which too often
forms the basis of dissatisfaction and fault
finding at the termination of some agricul-
tural fairs. While the exhibition of horses
will in nowise be suffered to deteriorate,
more attention than heretofore will be giv-
en to the departments of cattle and other
domestic stock.
- It is hoped and confidently expected
that the efforts of the directors, who have
been indefatigable in the interests of this
year’s exhibition, wnl t6fich"lr“nspnnniva"
chord in the patriotism Of the people of
this town and county, and win their co-
operation without stint.
The Mails.
For ten years, says the Tribune, Amer-
icanmails have been carried to the South
Seas under the American flag, and a val-
uable export trade with Australia has
been developed. The Democratic Admin-
istration has only been in ofiice a few
months, but that flag is to be hauled down
and that commerce broken up. The
mails to Australia are to be carried under
the British flag and the Postmaster-Gen—
eral does not consider it of the slightest
importance whether the American steam-
ers are taken Off the line or not. As for
the mails for Japan and China, he hopes
to send them under the British flag by
way of the Suez Canal without serious dc-
lay. It will not take long at this rate to
drive the American flag from the seas and
to complete the work begun by the Eng-
lish-built Confederate cruisers.

New York.
If our Republican .friends will put in
nomination for Governor of the Empire
State this fall the Hon. LEVI P. .MORTON,
Presidents Garfield and Arthur’s minister
to France and recently recalled because
he was so good a Republican, they will be
quite certain to “organize victory.” Mr.
MORTON has the courage of his convictions
and the will and ability to maintain them;
he has no “cutangling alliances” in his
own party, and is universally honored and
respected by all classes of voters claiming
to be Republicans. He would make the
liveliest campaign, and more surely win
success than any candidate we can think
of. _ '
Startling and Significant.
In a series of reminiscential articles in
the Connecticut Western News, the Rev.
Robert Hunt last week uttered the follow-
ing, which is an almost startling expres-
sion of a fact readily accepted, but not
generally considered in the light of the
forcible significance imparted to it by Mr.
Hunt’s comparative statement:
“ w weeks after I reached Millerton
(in 8) Orrin Wakeman asked me to
dedicatc'a new cemetery on his father’s
farm near the village. His father was the
first interred in the new ground. Last
April I buried in the same cemetery a
brother Mason and was surprised to find
that burial place more populous than the
pillage. How those cities of the dead
grow!”

From Turkey.
Nathaniel and Gamaliel Davison, ‘of
Cesarca, Turkey, arrived in town tO-day.
They are going to school in Cleveland,
Ohio. They have had a quantity of Turk-
ish and Persian goods sent to them from
home which they are selling to pay their
tuition. These articles are rugs of rich
design and finish, perfumeries, portiere.
They will call on our citizens, and as they'
will sell these articles at a low price it
will be an unusual opportunity to secure
Turkish and Persian ornaments. Any
one who wishes to inspect these goods
can do so by sending a postal to the
Messrs. Davison to that effect.

A Big Job Well Done.
When the New York World began some
three or four months ago the stupendous
task of raising $100,000 by subscription
for the completion of the Bartholdi pedes-
ta], the success of the undertaking was.
generally looked upon as an impossibility.
By dint of pluck and perseverance, how-
ever, that enterprising journal has suc-
ceeded in raising the full amount and’
nearly $3,000 over. It wasa“big scheme’ '
and the World is justified in its big brags
over it. , Every newspaper in the country
of good repute is proud of the Worhl’a
demonstration of the “power of the press.”

Random Ramblings.
BY ROSIE ROWE, OUR RANDOM RAM‘BLER.
I chanced to see on Saturday the now
venerable Miss Catherine Benedict riding
by the spot where she was born more than
three-quarters of a century ago, and where
her ancestors for some two centuries had
lived before her—intently, and 1151 thought
parenthetically, viewing the changes
which had so transformed the old “Uncle
Tommy Benedict Place ;” and I could but
feel an instinctive regret that Mr. Hill had
not honored her ancestor’s memory, as
well 'as more truly honored himself, by
calling that pretty little street opened up
through this property “Benedict" street
in lieu of Maples street.

Good f‘Brothcr” Wooley’s welcome
annual visit to good Deacon Ferris’ charm-
ing home reminds me of the hair breadth
escape he once had from being killed at
our dreadful South Norwalk railroad cross-
ing. The flying train grazed his clothing,
but he almost miraculously escaped instant
death. I remember, too, when southern
rebels fired on Sumter he did not urge his
fellow men to go to the war, but like the
divine Master he has served so long and
well he promptly enlisted himself and
said “follow thou me.” -

I notice that the venerable Philo Hurd,

tonic railroad and a prominent citizen of
Bridgeport, died at the home of his daugh-

Why is it that with so eloquent and
pleasing a pastor, so comfortable and
tasty a church, and with everything else
in happy accord, the choir of the First
Congregational church is so poor and the
music so wanting as to excite ridicule
and, in some cases, disgust, in the breasts
of transient visitors? Surely a decided
reconstruction in that particular organi-
zation would be a marked imrprovemcnt.

The value of petitions was forcibly illus-
trated in an Ohio court one day last week.
A lengthy petition numerously signed had
been offered for effect by one of the law-
yers in the case. Somewhat indignant,
the opposing counsel stated that petitions
were not worth the paper they were
written upon, and that the men who had
signed the'm seldom cared to stand by
their signatures. The judge was not pre-
pared to accept this theory, and after
some ‘talk adjourned the case for three
days. The cOunsel went to work. When
the case was again called the counsel for the
defense, in support of his statement made
on the former day, asked leave to read a
petition he had in his possession. Lcavc
was given and the lawyer read a prayer
that Mr. Blank, the most prominent citi-
zen in the place should be hung upon such
a day. To this petition was appended a
along list of signatures, the names of a
brother and a brother-in-law of the man
asked to be hung heading the list. The
utter nonsense of the petition, coupled
with the large number of signers, who
had signed it without reading, thoroughly
convinced all of the soundness of the
lawyer‘s doctrine that petitions should
count for nothing.

The Long Island Oyster Crop.
The reports from the oyster growing
regions alorfg the north and south shores
of Long Island are to the effect that the
amount of thecrop this year will be fully
up to the average. There has been com-
paratively little, damage done by the star-
fish and other enemies of the oyster, and
the bivalves on natural beds show a good
growth, while those planted on new beds
three years ago are much larger than
marketable oysters grow on natural beds..
The notion that oysters are unfit for food
during the four months from April to
September is fast dying out. The man-
agcrs of oyster salodns say that their sum-
mer business is increasing. Of course,
oysters spoil much quicker in the summer
months after they are taken from the ice,
but oysters just taken from the ice are.
both palatable and digestablc. A dozen
years hence a man who will refuse to eat
oysters in July Will be an object of derision.

Norwalk witnessed the start at about one
o’clock on the 29th ult., when the Hous-
man was gay with the presence of the
ladies who accompanied the club to
Dorlon’s, where many an anxious farewell
but paved the way for the happy reunion
which alone reconciled the men to the
termination of their joyful two weeks to-
gether. '
The first night was one of unbend for
tired business men who had let loose for a
lark. It opened in a serio-comic speech
:by the vice-commodore, who, amid the
laughter of the club, solemnly urged quiet
and sleep, which all knew he would lead
‘in disturbing. Many a man said he could
repeat the speech in advance and could
anticipate its upshot. It was a harmless
rollic and the effervescence of fun let
loose in the first ebullition of spirits long
cramped under business cares and now
lifted for the nonce. It was the school
boys’ first shout at the beginning of vaca-
tion. Every night was quiet after it.
We sailed through the east channel
waving handkerchiefs in answer to those
fluttering from the shore, and had a good
breeze till we hove in sight of Plum Island
light, when a calm settled down, and we
lay watching the passing of the magnifi-
cent Sound steamers. By and by a fog
settled down and our fog horn was trans-
ferred from the below decks to the bows,
where it did efficient service. Our captain
finally headed our yacht west to escape
the dense mist till the danger of steamers
was past and we soon had good weather,
though turning rough under the freshen-
ing breeze that sprung up. Some Of the
men were very sea sick, but “surprisingly
few.”
Block Island offered no harbor for a
northeast wind, so we sailed by, perforce,
and finally, late at night on Thursday, to
the relief of the sea sick ones, dropped
anchor midway between the East andWest
Chops in Vineyard Haven. In the morn-
ing we found ourselves in the midst of
upwagds of sixty vessels that had availed
themselves of that excellent land-locked
harbor. A number Of us took a sail boat
and went around the Chop to Cottage City,
where we called on the Hon. Howes
Norris, state senator and editor of the
Cottage City Star, and found besides a
number of gentlemen from Connecticut,
whose cottages are among the gems of the
city.
Cottage City is a unique place with
streets all of asphaltnm—a paradise for
the bicycle and tricycle—and with cottages
innumerable and of every conceivable
variety of architecture, Elizabethan, Queen
Anne, Swiss, and the most reckless Com-
posites; with often showings of landscape
gardening on a small but ingenious scale ;
with a sort of homelikc abandon in style,
and where every one seems to understand
every one else; with the sure finding of
friends from everywhere in the land; with
bathing and shore dinners the most su-
lperb, and with enougn'n‘rerrtenain” or
every side.
The New York Yacht club came to
anchor about us. and we saluted them at
night with an illumination and a pyro-
teclmic display, which was said to have
been unequalled by any. We had our
meals on board, served regularly; we slept
on board, and were allowed to enjoy our
repose rocked in the cradle of the deep;
we had capital cooks, and an admirable
cuisine, unequalled by any we took on
shore; we had prayers every night at half
past five, with singing by our admirable
male chorus; we ran down to Katama for
its clam bakes when we wished, with a
stroll on the turbulent South Shore thrown
in; we had services on the two Sabbaths,
attended by every member of the club—
on the first at the Union chapel, and on
the second with an immense audience at
the vast Tabernacle ; we held the place of
honor at the Grant Memorial as escort to
the veterans, and a goodly showing our
Yacht club made; we had distinguished
attentions from citizens and officials, and
our reception was one of the events at
Cottage City and was honored by the
presence of the Forest Grove Yacht club,
who came on board in a body.
We all wanted to sail for Nantucket but
were prevented by stress of weather. Our
prize fishing was interfered with in the
same way. But we had a good time,for all,
and no trip to Cottage City with such sur-
roundings of pleasure, could be had for
double the money this cost each man.
On our return we had a grand sail with
a good stiff breeze to Block Island, but
here again,Neptunc did not favor his loyal
name-sakes. We rocked at our anchor
over night under a heavy ground swell,
and awoke to a dead calm which held us
as securely as did our anchor till we lost
the fishing tide; though we purposed to
be on the banks by six o’clock at the out-
side, the morning was well on before we
got out to sea, and then the fog-bank shut
down on the island so our pilot could not
get his ranges. We caught a few cod and
bake, however, and “Schooner” hooked
a shark which he drew partly in when it
snapped or hit off his line and cleared out
with an impediment to its speech.
In the afternoon we gave it up and sail-
ed for home, diving into and out of afog-
bank, and then into a dead calm off Race
Rock light where We drifted helplessly
from about nine o’clock in the evening,
through a night of thick fog and loud fog
horns, through a day of tropical heat when
we lay '
“All in a hot and copper sky,
The bloody sun, at noon, .
nght up above the mast did stand,
No bigger than the moon,
I O i I C
.b
We stuck, nor breath nor motion:
But at about four o’clock a breeze sprung
up and we were moving. It freshened
into a gale, so what did wecare if we were
against a head tide. “ Eight knots” the
sailing master said,- and we grew excited.
Like a bird our beautiful schoOuer skim-
med the waves. Oh, but it was the very
“poetry of motion.”
We came off Smith Island light with its
alternate red and white—the white long
and clear, and the red only a flash—and
our careful Capt. Rider determined to lie
off and on through the night, onaccount
Of the gale that was yet blowing. We
turned in, to be wakeued in the morning
by the guns of our vessel which saluted
the arrival of our pilot, who brought us up
through the treacherous channel and to
dock at South Norwalk. So ended our
glorious trip. '
We had enjoyed a good time. Our
Commissary had been at once indefatigable
and successful. We had an excellent ‘
menu throughout the trip and no one,
even those who live the best at hOme, was
heard to criticise the table or its appoint-
'vments., The meat was of the best, ditto
the vegetables; we had‘little neck-l clams,
unable toascertain that_the prediction was outrageously criminal, after the Tepéfitétl fish, pudding and pies, biscuit white and
verified. .
murders there committed.
flaky, coffee and tea hot or iced at will; we
had good beds and good service and our
own sweet free wills. When we remem-~
ber that the hard-worked officers from the
untiring Commodore to the unflagging
Commissary paid their shot like the rest,
and did their endless work for the love of
it, no one will wonder that they are so
popular with the Neptunes and are kept
in theirlaborious offices for year after year.
And we who were fresh in our member-
ship and were on a first cruise could un-
derstand why men leave the luxury of
home, some for fifteen years and more in
succession, for the cruise. These old
members of the club unite in calling this
the best cruise Of them all.

Grant’s admission that the permanency of
General Grant’s resting place at Riverside
Park, and the question of his ultimate
burial at Washington is “a subject for
future debate,” may have the effect of
causing a wavering in the fund movement
for a national monument. The monument
should, and undoubtedly will be erected
on the spot where the soldier is to rest,
and contributors with preferences as to lo;
cality are not likely to be enthusiastic in
support of an object whose abiding place
_is “a subject for future define."
tional monument skipping about from
tomb to tomb in order to keep within

a sorry spectacle for the American people,
and the sooner it is positively decided
where the body of General Grant will for-
ever sleep, the better it will be for the
country, the dead hero’s admirers and the-
eertainty of the monument being built.
In such matters delays are dangerous as
was demonstrated in the case of the
Washington monument. The present
generation has a right to expect to see the
monument completed, a privilege which
can only be granted by the immediate and
vigorous prosecution of the work, the

following recipe for the saving of the
trees, which he received from a friend in
New Haven where it has been tried with
unvarying success:—— '
Place aband of cloth, seven inches wide,
around the trees, and under it enough fine
hay to fill all interstices.‘ Cut off even top
and bottom. Mix printer’s ink with whale
or any cheap oil that will not evaporate,
and apply the preparation about Oct. lst,
and after the first frost. Keep wet with
the preparation (except when the ground
is frozen, or when snow is on the ground)
till the last of April. Use 18 oz. tacks to
put on the cotton cloth and drive (not,
clear in) about 4 inches apart. '

He Painted the Town Red.
One day last week a convivial citizen
was seized with a periodical hankering to
paint the town red ,for his own amuse}
ment. Accordingly he started on the war-
path,,and proceeded to lubricate his in;
ternal anatomy with forty-rod whiskey
and other soul-stirring decoctions until he
arrived attliat state of “delightful con-
fusion” that is essential to the proper exe-
cution of the scheme of painting the town
red. Then he lit out. He assumed pro-
prietorship and management of the town,
and offered to sell it at auction, or swap
it for a pint of rum; he modestly an-
nounced himself as the smartest man in
every particular in the whole d— county
of Fairficld; he sang; he danced; he fell
down in the mud; he drank some more
drinks; he created for himself an- indi-
viduality far more lasting than the head-
ache that must have followed his exciting
campaign. To crown the Quixotic
achievements of the day he went down to
the creek when the tide was out, sat down
on the wet sand and proceeded to dig
vigorously in the the mud with both hands.
A number of on-lookers on the bridge
above, watched him curiously for some
time and finally asked him what he was
doing. ' 7
“Digging eels,” he replied, “don’t. you
see ’em? Look at ’em! Look at ’em!”
and he plunged into his work savagely,
and continued to .sce and pull out eels-
tliat weren’t there. Having secured an
imaginary ‘mess of imaginary eels
he finally started fer home, and the
instant he crossed the threshold of his
domicile his day of brilliant victories
and valiant achievements was at an
end; and ignohginous results attended his
every subsequent action. His loving wife
met him at the door with a' stove poker,
and demanded full information of his
whereabouts and an explanation of his
deplorable plight. He attempted to ar-
ticulate something about painting the town
,red and digging eels, but before he could
finish, the affectionate wife of his bosom
lit onto him like a June bug on a potato
vine. She. pulled his hair, she scratched
his face, she boxed his cars, and capped
the climax of his woes by pushing him,
head, neck and heels down the long flight
of outside, stairs, where he lay at the foot
curled up in a heap, until the shades of
evening gathered thick enough to hide
him as he crawled stealthily into the
kitchen window. _

The new combination of Smart Weed and
Belladonna as used in Carter’s Backaehe
Planters has proved to be one of the best that
could be made. Try one of these popular
plasters in any case of weak or lame Jack,
backache, rheumatism, neuralgia; soreness oi'
the chest or lungs, etc., and you will be sur-
prised and pleased by the prompt relief. In
cases of chronic dyspepsia, a. plaster over the
pit of the stomach stops the pain at once. Ask
for Carter’s Smart Weed and Belladonna Back-

To The Public 1 ——A CARD.
I have recently learned from creditable au-
thority that statements are being industri-
oualy circulated, with the evident intent of in-
juring my business, to the effect that in my use
of the new process of embalming the dead, an
exposure of the remains is usual and rendered
necessary for its effectual application. Noth-
ing can be further from the truth. I have used
the system, which is now adopted by all the
leading and best undertakers of this country,
for nearly two years, during which time I have
not used a single ound of ice for preserving
the bodies of the end. And I am the only un-
dertakcr who has not used it. But in no in-
stance has it been necessary to expose any
more of the person of the corpse than is seen
after it is laid out in the casket for public view
and burial service. The process of administer-
ing it is as delicate as the injection of a by O-
(lei-mic needle in the wrist or hand to allay
pain in the living subject. I confidently appeal
to every friend of the more than a hundred
subjects I have used the process upon and who
have witnessed its administration, to confirm
my statement in this respect, and to aid in re-
futing the injurious. cruel and heartless false-
hood to which I have been forced to refer.
Respectfully,
Win. E. QUINTARD.
