EDITORIAL LETTER.
Wssrmverox, March 26, 1888.
Dean Gazam,—The funeral services
over the remains of Chief Justice Waite,
held in the great hall of the ngse of Re- '
presentativcs, were of an unusually digni-
fied and impressive character. The
beautiful service of the Episcopal church,
was read by Bishop Parett, assisted by
six city priests. The President and his
Cabinet, the Supreme Court, the son and
daughter and son’s wife of the deceased
jurist, the members of the Senate and
House, the General of the Army and his
Staff, most of the foreign ministers, and
large numbers of other distinguished
people were present on the solemn coca.
sion.
The remains were conveyed from the
capital to a special train, by which it and
the funeral cortege were conveyed to
Toledo, his home, for interment.
Southern and Pacific coast senators are
desirous that Justice Field should be pro—
moted to the vacant place. Southern
members of the House want Speaker
Carlisle made Chief Justice, and Attorney
General Garland put in Field's present
place on the Supreme Court Bench. It is
believed the Republican Senate will be
quite unwilling to confirm another ex-
Confederate, should the Presideutbe in—
clined to appoint such, as it is surmised
he is, ‘ '
Notwithstanding the break in the week,
caused by the Chief Justice’s funeral, and
the occurrence of Good Friday, both the
Senate and House did, more honest and
faithful work in clearing the calendar
the past week than in all of the previous
weeks of this session. '
The bill granting Mrs. Gen. Logan a
pension passed the House after a spirited
debate, and putting on as a rider a similar
pension to the widow of Gen. Frank Blair.
Of course all the Republicans voted for it
and over thirty Democrats. Judge
Granger of our district is reported in the
Congressional Record as voting for Mrs.
Blair’s pension and against Mrs. Logan’s.
This will occasion painful surprise as
Judge Granger is aman of houestinstincts
and intentions. Both husbands of these
women‘ were conspicuous soldiers and
s'fg’t'smeu. Logan was in all his lifetime
the war entitled by law to a pension

was not. Logan, though poor,
ld not apply for or accept a pension
. .- .le able to earn five thousand dollars a
year as Congressman, thus differing
from tlle bitter and relentless Democratic
partisan, “the mental, moral and physical
wreck" Black, who gobbles $5,000 a year
as Commissioner of Pensions, and $1,200
a year more in pension money, which he
gets on affidavit that he was such a
“wreck" as to totally incapacitate him
from any kind of service.
Democrats enjoying the President’s
confidence say he will not veto these
widows’ pensions bills, although opposed
to them, but will let them become a law
without his signature. His intimates also
affirm that he will not veto the River and
Harbor Bill this year, if the House will
keep the total appropriation inside twenty
millions. If this be so then Norwalk will
get herpittauce of $3,000, Five Mile
River harbor $5,000, Stamford 35,000,
Black Rock and Bridgeport $10,009 each,
Housatonic River $10,000 and New Haven
$15,000, Connecticut River $10,000 and
Thames River $25,000, and Wilson's
Point nothing this year. .
Judge Granger, has introduced a bill
for an appropriation for a public building
at Norwalk borough, which will rest in
the tomb of the Copulets for their con—
grass.
The President, Secretary Whiting and
Dan Lamont went to New York to attend
the funeral of their personal and political
friend Dorsbeimer, Editor of the Star, the
most reputable and decent Democratic
paper published in that city.
INGALLS.
The Grand Army boys of this district
invited Senator Ingalls to a Camp Fire at
Grand Army Hall, last week. They sur—
prised him by the most deafening and
vociferous cheers and applause as he
entered the great hall and still further
surprised him by the presentation, as a
gift from the comrades, of a massive gold
headed cane. Of course a speech follow-
ed, in which he took ,occasiou to say that
all the lying, misrepresentation and abuse
heaped on him he could patiently endure.
He had made no reference to the military
careers of either McClellan or Hancock in
his speech in the Senate, but only and
solely of their political records, in which
both became the allies of the Southern or
Confederate wing of the Democratic
party, by whom and through whom only
could they hope to win their election.
Senator Ingalls' meaning was plain and
apparent enough to those who heard him
and to anyone who reads his speech and
does not desire to impute an untruthful
interpretation to his words. But isn‘t it a
little singular that not a Democratic leader
or Democratic newspaper ever whispered
the faintest rebuke of Lamar’s eulogy of
Jeff Davis on the floor of the Senate when
he asserted that no man should stand up
in his presence in the Senate or elsewhere
and Jeff Davis a traitor “without being
rebuked by him." It does makeawon-
derflil difierence in politics as well as in
everydaylife, “whose ox does the goring.”
woman’s area-rs.
The rights of women and'tlie wrongs of
men occupied public attention all last
week, and Opera House and churches
were filled with the fair but ancient dame
orators. Probably the most beneficial and
potent service these good old ladies have
rendered, has been in their really able and
eloquent addresses for temperance and
social purity. Many of these ladies are
reverends, and not less than half a dozen
of them filled city piilpits here yesterday
with unqualified satisfaction.
We never listened to a more power-
flll argument against the blighting
effects of the saloon and the rum curse
than was given at the Congregational
church by a sister of Mrs. Senator Stan—
ford. Their argumentsin behalf of female
suffrage and flill citizenship are as un-
answcrable as a foghom.
EASTER.
Yesterday all the churches were em—
bowered in masses of flowers, and vocal
with specially prepared music. To-day
comes the children’s “egg-rolling" frolic
so peculiar to Washington. The White
Lot in rear of the President's house is
given up to the little urchins and their
attendants, who bring beaches in picnic
fashion and unlimited hard boiled and
grotesquely—colored eggs, which the little
ones rolls down the terrace, and knoll»
sides. This annual egg jubilee is looked
forward to with about as much delight by
Washington babies as Christmas is by the
northern cherubs of our homes. It is said
to be a very ancient German custom; and
had to tlienucicnts asentiinental reference
to the resurrection of the Saviour. But as
conducted here, the aim and chief charm
is for one little one to send its egg after
its neighbor's, and if it be made to hit it,
the neighbor’s egg is fairly won, a la bil-
liard ball fashion. How this infantile
element of gambling crept intoa jubilee
commemorative of Christ’s resurrection,
we are as much at a loss to divine as we
are to the reason for the universal tln horn
blowing and pistol shooting by children
here on Christmas Eve.
PCSI‘AL asroaM. ('1’)
Son itor Hale’s Committee; now in-
vesting the causes of the deplorable (le—
rnoralization everywhere existing in the
Post Ofiice service, had' before it the Chief
of the Civil Si nice Commission for the
State of Indiana. He testified that in the
1
Indianapolis office about every experienced
Republican employe, had been displaced
to make room for zealous Democratic
workers. That the Postmaster had ap-
pointed men to distribute the mail matter
who couldn’t read an address on a letter;
others who were drunken; that in repeat-
ed instances mail cars had gone out of
Indianapolis without any Postal Route
Agent to throw the mails off at their
respective points. and those car loads of
mail matter would be brought back again.
Drunken andincompetent employee in the
Post emces are given as the true explana-
tion of this unbearable and utterly dis.
graceful condition of the Postal service.
As a hopeful sign, the Sentinel of Thurs-
day reached us on Friday. This is the
first instance since that spirited little daily
was started where a' copy has‘ reached
Washington on the day following its pub-
lication. The zenr'ru mailed Tuesday
night only reached Washington Saturday.
No Standard has been received for the
past five days. The little South Norwalk
Republican seems the only Connecticut
paper having the right of .way. That has
not yet missed of being here every Sunday
a. in.

scenes taken in and about South-Norwalk

BAKING POWDEBS.
B.
The Latest Ofiicial Tests as to their Rela-
tive Purity.
The present interest. in the matter of
food adulterations and the agitation of the
question of national and local legislation
for the purpose of preventing them, have
caused more than ordinary attention to be
given to the report of the Ohio State Food
Commissioner, which reveals the extent
and character of the adulteration found in
many of the baking powders of the mar-
ket. The presence of so large a number
of powders made from alum, as was found
by the commission, has not been suspect-
ed, nor was it supposed that some of the
cream of tarter and phosphate brands,
whose manufacturers have held them up
to the public as pure and wholesome, had
become so deteriorated by the use of im-
‘ pure ingredients in compounding them.
The Ohio commission examined thirty
different kinds for their strength and im-
purities, aud declared that pOWer the best
—-as it was of course the purest-which,
being of effective strength, contained
residuum in smallest quantity. In these
baking powders sold in this State the fol.
lowing percentages of residuum or inert
matter were found:
not cssr. or

The nature of the residuum bears di-
rectly upon the question of health. That
in Royal is declared by the Commission
to be perfectly harmless. In the case of
the alumpowders it is considered hurtful,
yet the amount found in three of the
cream of tarter powders—the Cleveland,
Dr. Pierce’s and Sterling—averaged about
the same as that in the Crystal, an alum
powder the inert matter is exceedingly
large, being more than a third of their on-
tirc weight.
The importance of the information con-
veyed by these figures can be best under-
stood by a simple comparison. Take for
instanccvthc two first named powders—
the Royal and Cleveland’s. The inert
matter or residuum found in Cleve-
land's is seen to be about 3 in 7 more than
in the other, which is a difference of 40
per cent., the Royal being purer than
Cleveland’s by a corresponding figure.
The inert [matter iii Horsford’s is over five
times, or more than 400 per cent. greater
than in the Royal; The relative purity of
all the brand can be computed in like
manner.

NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY.'APRIL 4., 1888.
Florida Letter.
ED. Gszarra,-——Whllc snow~is still on
the hills of old Norwalk, I should like to
introduce the readers of the Gamma to
this other and younger .Norwalk among
the hills and pine forest of Florida, where
snow has never been known.
Located on the narrow part of the pen-
insula, in the southern extremity of Put—
nam county, twenty-five miles south of
Palatka, beginning at one mile and ex
tending back to five miles from St.‘ John’s
River on west side. On high rolling pine
laud ; the soil, like all the peninsular is
sandy, not rich, neither is it poor, requir-
ing much less fertilizing than Connecticut
farms generally receive, and produces
good crops of anything adapted to the
climate, and the list is not a short one.
No section of the State is more desirable
for a permanent home, winter residence,
or an orange grove. No part of the State
has a pleasantcr or more healthful climate
in winter or slimmer, nor greater freedom
from insects, pests or malaria, nor is there
greater liability to injurious frosts than
through the intervening country 100 to
150 miles farther south.
At present our transportation is by St.
John’s River steamers, two or more of
which pass the Norwalk landings each
way daily to and from Jacksonville, also
daily mail steamers to and from Palatka.
Several railroads have been projected and
surveyed, and we think one or more of
them will be constructed and in operation
in the near future. At present the time
from Norwalk landing, by steamboat to
Palatka. thence by rail to New York, is
36 hours. When we have a railroad run—
ning into Norwalk, and changes and im—
provements on the roads north of us are
completed, the time from here to New
York will be reduced to 24 hours.- Not a
long ride considering the change of climate
brought about during winter or spring
time; '
Our population is from various parts of
the Union and from England. As yet we
have no hotel, but have two boarding
houses, where good board and pleasant,
comfortable rooms can be had at reason-
able prices. We have a post ofilce which
is the distributing ofilce for six other post
offices in the country back of us. Some
of them have weekly, some twice weekly,’
and one of them is to have daily mail.
We have twa stores, a saw mill, planing
and shingle mill, four churches—Congre-
gational, Baptist, Methodist, and colored
—-all‘small societies, but all alive and hope-
ful, two district schools—one for white
and one for colored, six months of the
year. Most of the residents are original
homesteaders, industrious and enterpris-
ing. Several of them, in addition to their
own groves, have planted and cultivate
orange groves for non-residents, who pro-
poae to build when the groves reach hear-
ing age. Some have planted extra groves
of various sizes to sell to those who wish
and can. afford to buy groves already
planted and well "advanced. For those
who have the ready cash, it is the best and
most profitable way, it saves years to the
man who buys, and has not cost him any
more than it would if he had planted and
cultivated it himself.
Since the first of February great num-
bers of people have been coming _. to
Florida more than ever before during the
same length of time. Hotels throughout
the State generally have been full; many
of them, especially the largest, have had
to turn away hundreds of guests because
they were already full. Of course a great
many of them are the regular tourists and
pleasure seekers, who travel over the
civilized world. These people are unani-
mous in the ‘ verdict that they nowhere
find so agreeable a climate or so much
linalloycd pleasure as on the lakes, rivers,
forests and coast of Florida. But besides
the fashionable, wealthy and invalid, a
great many home seekers are coming from
all parts of the Union and from Europe,-
generally people of thrift, enterprise and
energy.
With the invitation to all who would
like to ask any questions‘ in general or
particular about this section of Florida to
do so, and thanking the editors and pub-
lishers for the genuine pleasure and infor-
mation my family and myself receive from
the Gamma, especially the editorial letter,
and war articles, I am, very sincerely
yours, L. W. KERVAN.

An incident of Gettysburg.
0n the afternoon of the second day, the
Irish Brigade, which had been formerly
commanded by that brilliant son of the
Emerald Isle, General Thomas Francis
Meagher, was ordered into the fight, and
with their old-time cheer went in just to
the left of the Peach Orchard. As they
were about to advance, their captain,
Father Corby, addressed them in a few
burning words, begging them to do their
duty well. Then every man in the brigade
fell upon his knees while Father Corby,
stretching out his right hand toward them,
pronounced the words of a general
absolution. Every man seemed deeply
impressed, their lips moving iii silent
prayer whilst they made an act of contri-
tiou. The scene was grandly touching.
On every side the battle was raging furi-
ously. Out by the Peach Orchard and
the Devil’s Den the third corps was mak-
ing a gallant fight, and Little Round Top,
where Vincent and O'Rourke, Weed and
Hazlett were dying, was wreathed in
smoke—a veritable volcano of fire. Within
half an hour after Father Corby had given
his blessing to the men many of them had
passed to eternity. They had knelt in
their shrouds whilst they prayed; their
prayer was a timely one; their noble souls
were at rest.
The above is from “Sketches of Gettys-
burg," by General St. Clair A. Mulhollaud,
who lectures here for Buckingham Post
on April 9th and 10th.

The Languor of Spring Is
Upon Us. '6
What Weak. Tired and Ex-
hausted People Should Do.
The Best Tonic and Restora
tive Ever Known.
N this age of advertised medicines, it is
a pleasure to notice at least one which
is of the most undoubted benefit ili all
cases, as far as we can learn, not: only af-
fording relief, biit effecting a perfect and
permanent cure. We refer to Dr. Greene’s
Nervura Nerve Tonic, prepared by that
well known lecturer and curineut spec-
ialist in the cure of nervous and chronic
diseases, and which is, probably, the most
perfect cure for all forms of nervous af-
fections and weak and exhausting diseases
yet discovered. It is the best Spring med-
icine ever known, and we should advrsc
its use by all at this season of the year.
The wonderful cures it is effecting among
nervous diseases, such as nervousness,
weakness, nervous and physical exhaus-
tion, nervous debility, nervous prostra-
tion, sleeplessncss, tendency to insanity,
St. Vitus’ dance, rheumatism, pains in the
sides and back, palpitatiou of the heart,
nervous and sick headache, dyspepsia, in-
digestion, Ioss of appetite, constipation,
biliousness, kidney diseases, &c., give it a
position far above any other remedy at
the present day. Itbeing
A Purely Vegetable Remedy.
also makes its use among the people a
thousand fld more common.
Most physicians, knowing of a perfect
remedy or sure cure for a certain class of
diseases, desire to keep the fact to them-
selves. in order to build up a professional
reputation in their private practice by
making cures which only they can accom-
plish. He has placed it, therefore, on sale
at all druggists', at $1 per bottle. He
may be consulted' in regard to its action, '
or in all cases of nervous and chronic dis-
eases free of charge, personally or by let-
ter, at his ofiice, 35 West 14th st., New
York. Dr. Greene’s book, “Nervous Dis'
eases and How to Cure Them,” will be
sent by mail to any address, free.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
this truly great remedy. Nervous affec-
tions are so prevalent at the present day,
and their symptoms so distressing and an.
noying, that a positive specific, like this
medicine, which affords an almost
Certain Cure
for all forms of nervous disease attended
by physical exhaustion, is a boon to the
community that cannot be too highly esti-
mated, and the news of such a cure can-
not be too widely spread.
In thus giving our indorsemcnt to Dr.
Greene’s Nervura Nerve Tonic, we speak
what we know in regard to the remarka-
ble merits of this particillar‘remedy. There
have been many serious cases of exhaust-
ed hervous vitality, nervous and physical
exhaustion and nervous prostration which
had been pronounced incurable by physi-
cians, biit which have been entirely re-
stored to health, giving the persons rc-
newed vitality and
Strong and Vigorous Nerves.
by this remedy. It is an absolute specific
for nervous debility. Young men with'
weakened nerves and exhausted vitality
can regain their strcogh by its use. It
restores lost energy and invigorates the
weakened vital forces in old and young.
The medicine having such a ' record of
cure, it is not surprising that the people
everywhere should accept it eagerly as
being not only the safest and most cer-
tain cure, but also by far the cheapest, as
its low price places it within the reach of _
all. All druggists keep it at $1 per bottle.
It is a positive fact, therefore, that there
is no real need of persons suffering from
the nervousness, weakness, lauguor and
exhaustion which afilict so large a pro-
portion of our people. Thousands have
perished from these affections who might
have been curedhad they. but known of
this remedy, and thousands more are dai-
ly failing in health. gradually becoming
more and more weak, nervous and ex-
hausted who can easily and rapidly be re-
stored to sound and vigorous strength and
health by the timely use of this wonderful
remedy.
