‘ Chairman Boyle has finally, by dint of
the hardest kind of coaxing and dragoou-
ing,. succeeded in getting five of his com.
mittee to join him in' the exculpating re-
port he considers himself to' have been
appointed to secure. But those who un-
derstand all the facts think the majority
report really more damaging than that of
the minority. Honest and fair minded
Democratic congressman do not hesitate
to pronounce the action of the attorney-
general and his associates in the pan
electric scheme as grossly improper and
inexcusable. There certainly was nothing
in the whole Credit Mobilier matter as
reprehensible as this admitted scheme to

defraud.
CIVIL salmon A sun.

It is well known that there is no honest
intent on the part of the President, or of
any of his appointing subordinates, to pay
the least candid respect to the civil ser-
vice laws, but on the contrary a fixed and
settled purpose to evade it in every pos-
sible way so as to displace competent and
deserving republicans with democrats.
In a speech in the Senate last week Mr.
Hoar said:

“The President had in fifteen months
nominated successors to 2,078 civil ofiicers.
There were left 1,306 upon whom time or
the ax of the Presidential headsman were
to do their work. He resumed that by
the end of the Presi ent’s term there
would not be twenty Republicans left in
office in the United States whom he could

et at where he had the wer under the
aw to give the places to emocrats. Yet
the Senate of the entire number had al-
ready confirmed 1,749 and rejected but
sixteen. He could not find that the Presi-
dent had kept or had even attempted to
keep the pledges made before and after
his election. 11 a few localities where the
Democrats need the votes of the civil ser-
vice reformers, slight concessions had
been made to this “sentiment” while the
doctrine _“to the victors belong the spoils”
was in force for the rest of the country.
0f the 3,600‘civil officers, of whom the
President has :the appointment, ho had
already nominated successors for more
than 2,000 and the ax was constantly fall-
ing upon the necks of worthy and faithful
' public servants for no other reason than
that theywere Republicans, and that he
wanted their places for Democrats.”

Certainly some of the recent changes of
'soldiers’ widows and the humbler employee
in the departments have been more bru—
tally repulsive than the most outrageous
exhibitions of the “spoils system” ever
seen before this “reform” era humped its
hypocriticalback up before the ,eyes of a
disgusted people. One of the conspicuous
decapitations in this line was that of the
nurse matron, who.at the time of Gar-
field’s murder had the care of his young
children.::After thePrcsident’s death some
one got this ladya place on the _ laborers’
roll of the Pension office, but her place
was wanted for a stalwart democrat from
one 'of the rebel states and she was dis-
missed forthe scion of disloyalty.

. Several more vetoes voted old soldiers
and their widows have come up from the
White House. The President’s pretense
is that-he is thus protecting the treasury.
Does he reflect there would have been no‘
Union treasury to protect save for the ser

ANorwalkInvontion.
An ingenious and simple device is the
invention for the propulsion of canal-boats
conceived and patented by Mr. Emmett R.
Austin. of this town, a working model of i
which 'may be seen at his foundry on
Brook street. The invention, working
size, will consist of a substantial box about
eight feet long by five feet wide and a foot
deep, the bottom being of wrought iron,
and having no top. This is to be placed
under the bottom of the boat, near the
stern, open side down. At either end a
shaft runs across with a pulley on each
side over which run two endless double-
jointed chains to which are attached the
blades or paddles, so adjusted as to be in
position to “draw” on the under motion
and “cut” the water on the upper. These
paddles will be operated by an engine on
the deck connecting by a belt with a pul-
ley wheel at the outside of the paddle box.
The blades will be five feet long by 14
inches wide, and when driven by an en-
gine: of 20 horse-power with a 25-horse-
power boiler, Mr. Austin thinks will pro.
pol a canal beat at double the speed now
obtained by the use of horses and at a
cost of loss than one-half the present ex-
pense. The cost of horse towage is from
25 to 35 cents per mile; whereas this con-
trivauce, in the opinion of the inventor,
would do the work for not to exceed 12
cents.

Mr. Austin first gave his attention to_
this subject about fifteen years ago. It is
said that during Governor Tildon’s term,
the state of New York made an offer of
$100,000 for the production of a scheme
of canal boat propulsion that would excel
horse power, the points of superiority to
be greater speed and lower expense.
This odor, however, has expired, but Mr.
Austin has been assured by the canal board
of trade that when he shall have demon.
strated the practicability of his invention
a special appropriation can be secured
without difficulty. He worked out his
plans at odd spells, mostly nights, and in
1875 got a patent on his invention, having
first attached a small model with blades
only 5x2§ inches to a row boat, and tried
it experimentally on the creek with results
of amost satisfactorynature. Sincetaking
out his patent Mr. Austin has done com-
paratively nothing in the way of improv-
ing or perfecting the article. until quite
recently, when he again brought it out,
and he is now preparing for another ex-
periment with his model, to be witnessed
by expert engineers and mathematicians
with a view to the perfection of the details.

The Austin invention has been pro-
nounced by practical canal men to be cor-
rect in theory and likely to be sucCessful
in operation. Other methods of steam
propulsion are failures when applied to
canal boats. Side wheel paddles are on-
tirely impracticable owing to the fact that
there is no room for them between the
sides of the boat and the walls of the canal.
Stern screw propellers find their objection
in their inability to move a boat backward
or stop quickly as is sometimes necessary
in approaching a canal “ lock.” They
also are objectionable from the fact that
the violent “swash” washes and damages
the canal banks, a difilculty which Mr,
Austin’s machine obviates by having a
steady draw in one direction, and that in
exactly the centre of the ditch.

Mr. Austin’s plan for the production
of his motbr when he is ready to put it
into use is, instead of forming a joint stock
com any, to place 1,000 subscriptions at
85. each, for which he will ‘ give his
notes for 810. payable in five years, which

.is equivalent to an annual interest of 20
per cent., subscribers be secured by mort-
ga es on the patents and property.
ter the .next experiment, which will
occur soon, the w rk of organising a plan
for vigorous operation will be at once un-
dertaken and the fate of the invention will.
soon afterwards be determined.

Our Contemporaries.

The Litchfieid Enquirer seems to have
been improved by its late fiery experience.
Since it was burned out it looks better
than ever.

Our vivacious contemporary, the Win—
sted Press of last week, in its announce.
ment of the attractions for the 4th, includ-
ed “a public thunder shower at 4 p. m. to
which all will be invited by attractive na-
ture and a smiling morning sky.” Bro.
Pinney deduced his prophecy from past
events, and got left. New will this wick.
ed man mope in corybantic disappoint-
ment, or will he accept it as a point,
vouchsafed through the irony of fate, in
support of his argument that prophets
cannot prophesy ?

The Waterbury American has an em.
cient correspondent in Winsted, who re-
ports that a recent clap of thunder knock-
a horse “fiat upon the ground,” and that
the horse was so frightened that “he cried
like a child," and the occupants of a house
near by “went to the door with a light
thinking a child was crying.”

The Canaan ‘ News, in its last week’s
issue, announced itself “sweet sixteen ”
Its youth has been prosperous, and its
prosperity well deserved, for it is a bright
and wholesome local paper. We sincerely
trust it will never die, and hope Brother
Beckley will edit it forever. '

The New Haven Palladium and the
Journal and Courier publishers have raised
the subscription price of those papers,
‘which were lowered two years ago. They
announce that experiments have proven
that former prices, 85. a year and 2 cents
a COPY. are too low for papers of their size
and quality. ,

“40.5——
A Catastrophe oftho 4th.

Among the 4th of July casualties we
have to record, is the involuntary immer—
sion of 'our‘ esteemed fellow‘ townsman,
Mr. A. H. Camp. He had passedtho day
with his family and a few friends on Tav-
ern Island, and the party were returning
in a sail boat which had a small skid in
tow._ Mr. Camp thought to vary the
“even tenor” of the voyage by stepping
from the sailboat into the skid and being
towed to shore. Accordingly he took his
bearings and stepped jauntily onto the
prow of the skiff—but alas for the futility
of human calculations on the 4th of J uly!
the boat tilted, Mr. C’s. arms sawed the
air wildly in a vain eflort to preserve his
equilibrium. Despite. his grand hailing -
sign; despite the willingness of friends
powerless to save, he toppled. over, and
with a dull, sickening thud 175 pounds of
undignified dignity disappeared from mor-
tal view in a thousand feet of briny deep.
The “even tenor” of the trip was varied.
However, as truth crushed to earth rises
again, so Mr. Camp, though submerged,
soon floated, and willing hands applied
the strong grip and quickly raised him
from a sea level to a dripping perpendic-
ular. When shore was reached the ad-
venturous diver was wrung out, and
reached home but little the worse for hav-

Episcopal faith, had taken this means of
demonstrating his leaning ' towards the
Baptist doctrine. This seems hardly
probable, however, as it is whispemd that
just as he struck the water he proved his

“the ruling passion" strong in salt water,
by gasping, “Good Lord deliver us !"

The Graphic Account of a lost “Wonder-
' ful Occuronoo.

 

(Special Correspondence Boston Herald.)

An event has taken place in this city so
remarkable in its nature that I venture

when it swelled to a

afiair is Mr. Jere Smith, son of Cornelius
B. Smith, of the State Insurance depart-
ment at Albany, who is well known,
stands very high and is in every way roll-

ing interview with him, which Itrans-

In the early foreuoon the trusting it may prove valuable to your

readers:

“During last year,” he said, “I could

not understand what was the trouble with

me. I had always felt strong and hearty

but I gradually became aware that some-

thing was undermin’ng me.- I first began

to feel drowsy and then in a day or two I

would beuunaturally wide awake. Strange

pains would come in different parts of my

body. My head did not ache much but it

usually felt heav . . I was sometimes

hated food, while

my sleep was very irregular. I could not

understand what it meant but thought .it

might pass away after a time; but it did

not .I don’t see how I could have been
so blind but I sup ose I was like most
people who are troub ed in the same way,

and thought it was nothiu dan erous.
After awhile I noticed a pecu iar co or and
odor about the fluids I was passing; that
they were dark at times and very i ht at
others. Finallly I began to gain fies but
I knew it was unnatural and that I was
bloating. This frightened me and 1 con-
sulted physicians who very kind in their
attentions but did not help me in the least.
My father then went with me to New York
and we consulted with the eminent Dr.
Keyes, who treated me for several weeks.
At that time my condition was horrible.
I was bloated from head to foot, it was al-
most impossible to breathe and 1 could
not sleep. In several places on my body
the skin burst open, so great was the pres-
sure from within, The a any I endured
was indescribable. Then 0 doctor told
me my case was}hopeless,that I had Bright’s
disease in its worst form and that I had
only a few do a to live.”

“Fortunate 31 had a friend who.accom-
panied me an would not see me die with-
out a struggle. He did not ur e, he so-
u‘sfcdon my making one more e ort, and
I did so. I noticed an improvement at
once; in four days the swelling greatl
decreased and the" pain wholly cease .
I continued to improve and am a well man
to-day and owe my life to the marvellous
effects of that wonderful preparation,
Hunt’s Remedy. I believe this is the
greatest medicipe that was ever discover-
ed by man, and I only wish the whole
worldlmight know what it has done for
me.”

“I know there are thousands of people
troubled as I was and in just as great dan-
ger, but they do not realize it. Bright’s
disease is the most deceptive, the most
horrible malady the world has ever known.
It has no settled s mptoms, but assumes
every imaginable orm. I had no idea it
was Bright’s disease that was undermining
me unti I began to bloat. and now that
am well and enjoying life I feel like tell-
ing everybody about my miraculous escape.
Is it any wonder this town is aroused over
my resurrection ?” .

Such is the account of probable as nar-
row an escape from death as was ever
known. The first symptons whlcli Mr.
Smith felt were such as many others feel
but do not consider worth noticing. It is
plain, however, that the early indications
of a dangerous disease cannot be tr'lfied
with, but must be met promptly, and by
such a remedy as has been proven to be
indeed a friend in time of need.

way skyward with a roar and a hiss,
climbing up into the blue so high that
the stars dodged and even the moon slunk
down and hid behind the trees; Roman
candles and pin-wheels, and flower pots
and mines filled the air with colored fire
balls, wriggling snakes of flame, fiery bal-
loons and showers of dazzling lights that
set the heavens afire with their bright
kaleidoscopic changes and elicited innu
merable “o-o-h’s i” and “a.a-h’s !” from the
spellbound spectators. It was a glittering

Appreciated Kindness.

Mention was made in our last issue of a
party of New York Sunday school picnick.
are who had the bad luck to miss the re-
turn boat from Roton Point on Saturday,
June 20th, and who were provided with
passage home by rail, by contributions so-
licited by Mr. George S. Grumman, man-
ager of the Point. How well Mr. Gram.
man’s kindly interest was appreciated is
shown by the following letter received
last week by the Superintendent of the
Sunday school of which the walfs were
members :—

Nsw Your, June 30, 1886.
G. S. GRUMMAN, Esq., ‘

Dear Sir :--On Saturday last you were
very kind to some members of our Sunday
school in helpin them to get home after
having been le t at Rotou Point by the
excursion boat.

We are very grateful to you for your
kindness and you will please accept our
sincere thanks. But we want also to re-
fund the money advanced b you and
others for their ex uses to ew York,
and if you will be k nd enou h to advise
me of the amount, I will be g ad to remit
it to you.

We were very anxious about the young
people, when the captain could not be
prevailedupon to go back for them, and
they had to be left behind, but were very
happy about 8:30 o’clock, Saturday even-
ing to find that the had fallen into such

good hands and ha: arrived at home safe

Sinful Salvationlata.

The salvation army is making progress.
It is certainly getting notoriety, and noto-
riety is the glory of the cheap element, of
which the “army" is principallycomposod.
During the salvation convention held in
Hartford last Wednesday one of athe he
captains took a couple of the she captains
into the back room of a saloon and order-
ed three lemonades, giving the wink to
the waiter for a “stick” in one of them.
The waiter gave the tinctured beverage to
one of the sisters by mistake, which set
her to singing, while the brother looked
- daggers at the waiter for getting the
glasses mixed.

A Winstod captain, Charles Stiles, is ac-
cused of a worse “imprudence,” however,
and one which bids fair to remove him for
a season from the missionary field. He
went to the house of a sister salvationist
some days ago, but found the sister out.
Her little daughter, Bessie Shepard, 11
years old, was alone in the house. Ac-
cording to the girl’s story. “he called her
into a room and attempted to take liberties
with her. She resisted and he threw her
down and endeavored to assault her. The
girl screamed for help and after vainly
eudeavoring to accomplish his purpose,
Stiles fled.” , The girl told her mother,
who, beingasalvationist, resolved to make
no trouble for the erring brother, but oth-
er members got hold of the afiair, and
Stiles felt himself called upon to forgive
himself before the army, so he got up in
the meeting, said the Lord had punished
him sufilciently for his crime, and hoped
his comrades would forgive him. This
satisfied the salvationists, but when it
came to the ears of the authorities a com-
plaint was made out and Stiles fled to
Hartford, where Sheriff Slocum of Win-
stcd captured him Wednesday. He was
brought back to Winsted and placed
under bends to appear for trial this week.

preservation should be of interest hardly

freshing a drink as evehgraced an' “old
oaken bucket." Ethan en’s furnace, in
which iron for cannon was made previous
to and during the Revolutionary war,
stood afew yards west of the depot, on

ufacturing compan ’s cutlery shop.

Ex-Governor Holey, who is preparing
to celebrate his eighty-second birthday on
the 12th of August next, was born in the
Ethan Allen house where the depot now
stands. .

General Montgomery, of Quebec fame,
after whom Montgomery Lodge, No. 13,
F. and A. M., was named, lived on Town

east of the village. The old stone house,
where Mont omery lived, is still standing
and is owne by the Cleaveland family.
The house was a magnificent one in its day,
but is now falling to decay and is not oc-
cupied. A small sum, however, expended
on it would save this historic building
from complete ruin for another generation
at least. It seems a pity to lose this
ancient house around which cluster so
many memories, and which has been the
scene of many historical incidents. Pub-
lic spirited citizens should take measures
to preserve this ad old building.

Montgomery dge was chartered in
1783 by the Grand Lodge of North Ameri-
ca, and is older than the Grand Lodge of
the State of Connecticut. It will be re.
membered that it celebrated its centennial
June 20, 1883. Hezekiah Fitch was the
first master of Montgomery Lodge, and
the jewel of his office worn b him is still
in possession of the Lodge. muei Bul-
man, of Lime Rock, is the present master.
This lodge that takes Montgomery’s name
should take the lead in saving his old
dwelling house from untimely and un-
unnecessary extinction.

Sweet's Snake Story.

Mail Agent John Sweet, of the Nauga-
