Y. I. O. A.

The members of theYoung Men’s Chris-
tian Association and their friends who at-
tended the Members Meeting on Monday
evening, spent a very pleasant time to-
gether. There was some disappointment
in not meeting Mr. Bowne of Springfield,
but pleasure was manifested in having M.
W. E. Colley, General Secretary of the
Bridgeport Association, who made a few
pointed remarks. He emphasized the need
of some definite work of each active mem-
mer‘ upon some Committee of the Associa-
tion. Reports were given by the Presi-
dent and chairman of rooms committee,
showing that a good beginning had been
made, and that new and better things are
being planned. The members present
were favored by the Male Quartette of the
Methodist church who rendered music
much to the delight of all. At the close of
the business session the company adjourn-
ed to the hall where with much enthusiasm
was disculised the elements of cream and
cake.

Mr. Colley was much pleased with the
outlook of the local Association and ex-
pressed himself to the Secretary. “You
have a very nice Association.” He also
admired the appearance of the Reading
Room. It really is an attractive place and
should be used more by our young men.

Mr. Haven, the present General Secre-
tary has resigned. his resignation to take
effect Sept. 2. There is much regret on

his part but the circumstances compel
this action.

Bth Conn. Reunion.

The reunion of the 5th Conn. Vols. took
place Monday evening at the Eagle Hotel,
Gettysburg. Yesterday the regimental
monument was dedicated, after which a regi-
mental dinner was served, at which songs,
speeches and army reminiscences were given
by the comrades in attendance. Major
Preston, chiefly, has worked up the affair in
a laborious, most creditable and successful
way and is entitled to the gratitude of every
survivor of the gallant old regiment.

The company left New York at 9 o’clock
a. m. Monday, and included among others,
001. W. W. Packer, of Mystic, accompanied
by his wife and daughter, Major E. V.
Preston, Capt. D. B. Hamilton and wife, of
Waterbury, Surgeon Bissell of New Haven,
Capt. Harlan P: Rugg of Bridgeport, Lieuts.
George F. Selleck and Samuel Woodrufl‘ of
New Haven, Lieut. Charles F. Hallock of
South Norwalk, D. H. Mattsou of' Sterling,
John A. Bowen, D. H. Carpenter and Ang-
ust Moush of Norwich, William H. Web-
ster of Washington‘ Thomas Duffy of
Middletown, John Carney of Merideu, Sergt.
A. 9. Case of Southington and Chaplain
Horace Winslow of Simsbury. Col. Packer,
who commanded the regiment at Gettys-
burg, will deliver the historical address.

Capt. Alfred Chinery, of Norwalk, one of
the bravest company commanders of the
regiment, was unable to go, very much to
his regret. Lieut. Wm. Ambler and other
comrades, of Norwalk, were also unable to
be present. The party were to leave Gettys-
burg early this morning for home. Their
monument is erected at the extreme length
of our battle line as it existed on the day of
the regiment's fearful engagement during
that decisive struggle of the rebellion.

The Niantic Camp Ground.

A reporter of the New London Telegraph
has visited the Niantic encampment and
reports thus:—“A little cluster of wall
tents on the right of the camp ground is
the first evidence of military occupation.
These tents are occupied by Quarter-
mastenGencral Morgan’s men—artisans
and laborers—who are engaged in making
ready for. ‘training week.‘ The camp
equipage is being received and the differ-
ent pieces arranged so that there will be
no confusion nor dlsordcr when the time
comes for pitching the tents. The store-
houses have been repaired wherever re-
pairs wcre needed, and additions have
been built to secure better accommoda-
tions; the mess halls are all in good con-
dition, and will be thoroughly aired and
cleansed before the arrival of the troops.
There are a few holes in the parade
grounds which might prove dangerous
traps for horses and inconvenient ob-
stacles to men marching, but these will all
be filled. The wire fencing is in good
condition, except that portion which di-
vides Camp Lonnsbury from the Spiritual.
ist camp, and which was struck by light-
nlng during the storm last Sunday. This
will require new posts where the old ones
were split or splintered, and the stretch-
ing of several rods of wire. The brigade
will be larger than last year, and will con-
tain a good many new men, but it is
thought that the guard duty and the mili-
tary etiquette will be better, as special
attention has been paid to drill in such
matters during the year. These are points
which were severely critized last year by
the. United States officers who were de-
tailed for inspection there.

____..,.,.—_
“ Philip Drunk and Philip Sober.”

The best way to settle any doubt or con-
troversy over the organization of the Masonic
Building Association is to “appeal from
Philip drunk to Philip sober,” and quote
Section 3 of the resolutions adopted by the
Association, and upon the faith of which
subscriptions were solicited, and which
reads as follows :—

Section 3.—All money paid in on stock
“shall be de’votcdto the erection of a Masonic
building in the town of Norwalk, and the
purchase of the necessary building site, and
the net income of the building, when erected,
shall be divided a'nnrurll or semionnually by
the corporation umongt stockholders in pro-
rtiori to the number of full paid shares held

y sac .

Section 1 of the Act of Incorporatiom
passed by the Legislature, in its last line
reads as follows :-“ provided the real estate
so acquired shall not exceed the sum of fifty
thousand dollars, and such real estate shall be
exempt front taxation.”

A good brother mason informs us that it
has been the boast of one of the chief man-
ipulators of this exemption feature, that he
had successfully “fooled the Legislature.”

Hrs. Beecher will Writs for Newspapers.

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher has entered
into an agreement with Edward W. Bok,
of Brooklyn, a newspaper syndicate man-
ager, to write a series of articles on sub.
jects of interests, especially to women’s
dress, education, marriage, society, etc.,
to bopublished in a number of newspapers
through the United States and Canada.
The first article will appear in the latter
part of 0ctober. Mrs. Beecher will re.
main meanwhile at the home of her son.

Neptune Letters.
COTTAGE CITY, Mass,
Sunday, July 30, 1887.

The day opened bright and hopeful for a
sacred and restful day, and most of us went
ashore for divine service, at the Union
Chapel, to be conducted by the Rev. Mr.
Manten, of the First Presbyterian church of
Columbus, Ohio. - (Not a Neptune service.)
He is an old friend of the Chaplain’s. and so
the log heard him and with pleasure and
profit. The evening service at the Chapel
was to be by one of our Neptune Club, and
conducted by the chaplain of the club. But
in the afternoon heavy clouds, black and
portentous, were gathering in the sky, the
wind veered to the east, and there promised
an ' awful nortlneast storm. Word was
passed that the schooner nrust make harbor
at Edgartown, as even Holmes’ Hole is not
reliable in a heavy storm from that quarter.
So the Chaplain (and the log, for the log
always goes ashore when the Chaplain does,
and invariably attends service when the
Chaplain preaches,) with the Commodore
were put ashore hurriedly, while the Hells-
mau made sail.

The rain fell steadily till nearly time for
service, and as there was no train from Ed-
gartown, of course none of the men could
come to service. There were nine Neps.
present, however, of those who were in town,
and a good house of citizens besides, and the
Chaplain preached from the text: "We
would see Jesus." "'

It was a sad evening, as we were separat-
ed, and it was comfortable to know that Rev.
Mr. Beach was on 'board the schooner, so
the men there were all right.

On Monday we who were left at Cottage
City for religious purposes, went to Edgar-
town just in time to see most of the mem-
bers starting for South Beach and Katama,
to indulge in the celebrated clam-bake. Ah 1

like soft~shell clams. I say for men I-
Moat. of our men had lady relatives who
went with them—their sisters, and cousins
and aunts. The log never knew so many
female relations as'grow on this island, and
most of them are, very good looking—for
Cottage City and its suburbs, Yet the poor
Log finds none. So much for being friend-
Iess and alone. The pledge for Katama is
as follows:

A genuine Rhode Island clam bake and
shore dinner will be served daily at Katama,
on arrival of train leaving Oak Blufl‘s at
12:35 p. m., Sundays, 11:15 a. m. The pa-
vilion was built ex ressly for this purpose,
and is not surp for coolness and com-
fort by any like structure. The clams
served here are guaranteed to beequal in
flavor to Providence River, and a rest many
pronounce them to be superior. he clams,
lobsters, fish, etc., are all cooked in the old
Indian style, on heated stones. .

Bill of Fare—Chowder, several varieties
of fish, steamed clams, lobsters, potatoes,
onions, white and brown bread, Boston
crackers, mixed pickles, and various kinds
of sauces, clam and quahaug fritters, chilled
watermelons, sweet potatoes. and green corn
in their season.

A couple of our men who took down their
aunts, or somebody, decided to stay till the
late train, but the engine broke down. Some-
body says a frog, larger than usual, hopped
on the track and broke the eccentric-it was
an eccentric frog—and there our friends
were with two lovely ladies and a lone, lone
hotel. Would they ever be able to face their
brother Neps? Our men are particular, if
they are anything. The two flaxed ’round
and found a wagon, long, springless and
with high broad sides, used for hauling sea-
weed, and chartered it for $1.50. Chairs
were put into it. two and two, and amid the
cheers of the hotel people (the populace call
chairs, “clleers,”) they started, keeping the
uncertain chairs in place by embracing the
opportunity to hold their aunts in tllem.‘
When half way to Edgartown, the mended
engine with its train passed them going
down. They drove into a thicket outside of
Edgartown, took their ladies out. of the
wagon from the tail end, and went home by
by-ways. They lost. the train, and either went
to a hotel (I mean the men) or else walked
to Cottage City. They made their toilets in
the morning with a hair-pin that they found
in their room at the hotel, (so they say, but
a small boy says he saw one of them steal it,
while his hand was ill position as he held his
aunt in her chair.)

Meantime Mr. Bissell, with Mr. Babcock
and the Chaplain, went to the cemetery to
search for "epithets,” in that silent acre of
which some one says: “‘Here lie the dead,
and here the living lie ;” and while others
were at it the Log, who was along, ate black-
berries. An old friend said it was the best
berrying-ground he ever saw. ‘

On our return to the schooner she made
sail for Cottage City, but was long ill get-
ting tllere, as the wind died down, and we
drifted upon the shoals. We had to drop
anchor, and enjoyed quite an experience in
the shoal waters down towards Pr quc Light.
But we finally were anchored ofi' Cottage
City, in time for our evening divine service.

On Tuesday morning the Chaplain, with
Dr. Baldwin 41nd Mr. Corwin, started for
Boston, the venerable Chaplain to call on
his more venerable mother,—and a furious
rain set in. Some say that. eight inches of'
water fell; but anyhow, it was a deluge.
The day was eventless, as how could it be
other with both the chaplain alld surgeon
gone—though Dr. Eddy took the place 0f
the latter, and Dr. Beach of the former. The
Log went with the Chaplain.

On Wednesday the absent ones returned
to find that the vessel had put in at Vinc-
yard Haven. and was sailing, as they could
see from the steamer, from Wood‘s Holl, for
Edgar-town. carrying the M88. for the lee
ture the Chaplain was to deliver that night
for the benefit of the Union Chapel. So,
after dining with the good Rev. Dr Stevens
of the Bethe], (described in last year’s log)
the poor Chaplain—assisted by Dr. Marly—
had to block out a new lecture on “Word
Pictures of War Phases,” which he gave le
fore a large and attentive audience, at 35
cents a head.

This Union Chapel. which is wholly un-
denominational, has been kindly placed at
the disposal of the Neps. every year for their
Sunday service, as it is again for next Sun-
day morning.

‘ Orr Numeral, Aug. 5, 11:30 a. m.

Last night we started from Edgartown
with a view to Nantucket, and the wind was
so light that though we had warped the vcs-
sel well down the bay, we were drifted way
back and had to drop our anchor. But with
the turn of tide we made our way out
and catching a light north-east wind, started
on our cruise. It was a delightful sail,
under a bright moon, and with enough sea
to make it lively for the new men. Few
cared to go below for the scene was enchant-
ing, as a delicate phosphorescent light tipped
the topping waves, and the heat under which
we had sweltered, gave place to a coolness
that made our pealjackets comfortable. So
the men sat on deck and smoked and told
stories of former cruises, and conjectured as
to the time when we should make Nan-
tucket.

But alas for Neptune hopes, when this
most illusivc port is our objective point. At
about 12:30, night, we who had gone to our
bunks, heard the rattle-out of the great chain
cable, and we were at anchor far out at sea.
The wlnd had gone down, and the tide was
hearing us back and away frorll Nantucket.
When we got up and went on deck at about
six o'clock this morning, we were in a dense
fog —so thick that'we could scarcely see the
helm from the bows of our schooner. When
would 1t clear up?" 'When could we make
the dock ?

It was about 9 o’clock before we found any
approach to a clear horizon, and the island
lay only about five miles off. Our anchor
(tame up and we set sail, but with battling
winds and light at that. Now the wind was
west, then S. S. W., then south, then it
veered to the east, and we beat about with
one flag at our forctopmast for a pilot. A

dim white speck in the distance grew into a
pilot-boat, arld soon that monarch of the sea
stood on our quarter-dock. with the stereo-
type order, “haul down your colors and set
the fore-top-sail." “Are you licensed ?”
asked our skipper. “Yes, sir, but I haven’t
brung my papers.” “Never carry ’em” was

 

but that is a wonderful treat for men who ‘

the reply. We had plenty, of witnesses so
down came our colors and up went the three
cornered sail, while he pronriscd to get us in
by 1:30, and before the 2 o’clock ebb. Yet
here we lie, and the boys are making things
lively with the drums and fifes, hoping to
whistle up a breeze. We have on board the
following:

Brig. Gen. Chas. Olmstcad, See. in com-
mand.

Edward Anderson, Chaplain.

Dr. A. H. Baldwin, Surgeon.

Samuel J. Miller, Post-Master.

Geo. W. Lee, Sailing Master.

Ward Derson, Log.

W. F. Hyatt.

W. H. Manden.

Theo. Babcock.

W. 1. Clark,

Dr. Hiram C. Eddy.

Rev. J. C. Beach.

Jno. M. Burr.

Geo. W. Eaton.

E. III. Deakin.

Edward C. Bissell.

Andrew Thompson.

Hubert Benson. [17 souls.]

We have in our crew this year a glorious
set of men. We are regretting that Dr.
Many has left us for home. The utmost
harmony prevails, and there has been de-
veloped never akicker. 0f the new men.
with whom we are getting nicely acquainted,
we can only feel glad that. they have come.

Dr. Eddy'was formerly a surgeon of the
Inman Line of Trans-atlantic steamers. and
he is ajovial, wide-awake man. Rev. Mr.
Beach is a Methodist clergyman of culture,
and is a pleasant gentleman who fits well
into our out-at-sea ways, which are all ex-
cellent. Mr. Babcock isa quiet and unob-
' trusive gentleman, who is always agreeable
as one sits down to chat with him. Mr.
Knapp needs no description to any one in
Norwalk, but we are always the better and
more cheery when he joins a group. Mr.
Clark is a free, outspoken gentleman whom
we all like exceedingly, though he is out of

and genial. Mr. Burr is calm and even in'
his way, evidently a man of means and of
cultivation, and Mr. Eaton, also from Burr-
ville, has just come, but joins his townsman
in his popularity. Mr. Corwin is son of
the Corwin who was with us last year, and
is a graceful, wide-awake fellow, a bicyclist
who has brought his wheel, and is away
from us to-day that he may join in the meet
of the Massachusetts Wheelmen at Cottage
City. Mr. Benson is a true hearted young
man who is very agreeable as a companion,

ofiicers fill their places most admirably}
though the Vice is devoid of vices. The
surgeon is a homeopathist, though no one
would know it who was not sick. The gun-
ner has always made most of the noise on
board, though now it is largely concentrated
and Charlie Littleton works the gun most
of the time, (we have only one gun now and
cannot fire a double-barreled salute, but the
gunner has a dog,) and the log—well, it is
his second year as an officer and he is not
fresh enough to speak of. Pete, our stew-
ard, and Dave Comatoak are old hands at
the club, and so are the cook and the wait-
ers, John Fairehild and Charlie Littleton;
but Fred Harden and Emanuel VanClecf.
are of a kind that we take again, asthey are
polite, attentive, and when asked to do a
favor do not stop to think if it is in their
contract.

We have a better crew than last year, ex-
cept our Captain, whom we would not will-
ingly exchange for another, but the mate is
suffering from rheumatism. though he is
often on deck. So much for our new men.

8 o‘clock p. m. We are still hopefully
lying off and on before Nantucket, seeing
the city at about two miles off, and yet not
able to get. our vessel in, as tide is com.-
ing out like a mill-tail. It has been decided
that those who wished to go ashore shall
take the pilot’s cat-boat and he landed while
we anchor near the bell-buoy, to receive
them when they come off to-night. We sail
for Cottage City to-night. The Secretary,
Sailing Master, Chaplain, Log and Messrs.
Bissell and Clark are the only ones left on
board.

4 o’clock p. In. Our anchor hugs the
sand at the bottom of the sea near enough
to the bell-buoy for us to hear the doleful
clung of the “boom-boom” of its iron tongue.
that is said to sound the knell-like dirge of
a vessel that lies below the buoy, and in
which many perished. The pilot says that
a fog is coming on which will envelop us
“when'the sun getsweak." Yet he says the
moon, so near its full may “burn it out" and
give us a night in which to sail.

COTTAGE Cl'rv, Aug. 6.

Ollr boys did not come on board last night,

though as our pilot predicted, the moon
“burnt up the fog,” and all was clear by 12
o’clock. Yet our vote had been that if the
men ashore did not come to us last night, it
would to because they wanted to see ’Scon-
set by day-light, and that they proposed to
take train for that quaint little fish town
of yore, and would-come to Cottage City by
steamer. We waited, however, till 7o’clock
:1. ln., and then under a south wind sailed,
making our course for Cross Rip Light Ship,
and thence for here.

The morning was perfect, with a clear
sky, a bright blue, undulating sea, and B
splendid wind. Whew 1 how our natty
schooner flew. We put out our patent taff-
rail log, and though the tide was against us,
registered 11 knots an hour. Mr. BISselI
and the Sailing Master with the Chaplain,
stood in the bows and watched the flying
spray as our dainty cut-water split it and
dashed it to starboard and port. (The Log
stood by too, and would have said “to right
and left” if we had been on shore, but we
must be nautical here.) Every one on board
was merry and glad, and parth of the en-
thusiasm that seemed to have filled the heart
of our schooner-yacht. We only were sorry
that more were not. here to enjoy the richest,
finest sail we have had.

ButZalas for bright dawns that run into the
disappointments of later day. At 9 o’clock
we ran into a fog again and our horn sound-
ed its doleful notes from our fore-chains. So
often does youth run upon mists and
doubts, but, happy is that life thatso learns
a caution and comes into the joy of maturity
gained thereby. We ran through our fog
in half an hour or so, and as we came out of
it there was Cottage City right before us,
and we dropped anchor in our old bed 011‘ the
deck at 9150, less than three hours from our
anchorage at Nantucket.

One thing is certain, we have made an
honest effort to reach Nantucket. and were
not able to get in even with an experienced
pilot on board. Of course we might have
made the passage and the dock sometime to-
day, bllt tomorrow is our regular Chaplain
service on shore, and it would not do to risk
fogs and head-winds or calms, so we were
obliged to abandon the pet project.

On our flying trip to-day we passed a four.
mastcd schooner with all sails set; topsails,
stay-sails, live jibs, and all the canvas she
could crowd on besides. It was a grand sight,
butslle did not scent to dash up spray more
than we did, or to make more speed. She
was some larger than our schooner;

INCREASE YOUR PENSION. _

Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
to a much higher rate of pension than they now
receive. In a great majority of cases In which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rate, and in most cases
where It was granted for wounds or Injuries the
disability increases each year. As time passes the
disability of:alllclassss naturally increases. Many
were at first rated too low, and It often occurs
that nsiouers are unjustly or erroneously re- .
due by examining surgeons. A pensioner Is
entitled to Increase on a disability not set; forth In '
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be had for many dlsabilltles. I make a specialty
of Neglected and Rejected Claims, and if you Will
present me with a brief statement of your case,
stating by whom it was presented, I will obtain a
rehearing of your case, and, if It has merit. will
procure a favorable settlement Many claims
stand rejected before the department, when it
only requires a competent attorney to make them

cases. Soldm's W'i‘lla with ataaoill‘tles
contracted tn m‘vlce, who have not amatt‘ed for a
pension, should do so as It is their RIGHT.
