A. Land Lubber's “Shore Dinner.” ,,

Cosgrove is one of Bailey’s bright young
men on the staff of the Danbury News.
But he has a failing for dreaming out
railway incidents that never occurred, and
publishing them. We have waited invain
for his account of his adventure at Roton
Point.’ He came down from Beantown a
few days ago, found his way to the South
Norwalk dock and inquired of a coal
beaver where he could buy a first-class
cabin passage ticket for Roton Point on
the steamship City of Paris. The grimy
shovcler grinned as he informed him that
the City of Paris was not running up into

the Norwalk Harbor this season, but the

little steamer Medea was about to start
for Roton and would land him there in
about 15 minutes. Cosgrove looked dis-
appointed, but hastened to the dock and.
followed some other passengers ' aboard
the Medea, which immediately cast off
and steamed down the harbor. Our ad-
venturer scraped an dcquaintanec with A

one of the boat’s stokers whom he con-

fidentially informed that this was his “first
voyage en ' the Atlantic Ocean" and he
didn’t know but "he might get seasick.
The stoker reassured him, however, and
Cosgrove brightened up and said he
“guessed he’d go up stairs on the roof to
take a'last glimpse of his native land and

‘then keep his eyes peeled for icebergs and

a school of whales,” as he wanted to make

'an item of them to cable home to the

paper. The mud digger which was lying
off shore caused his eyes to bulge out
with amazement and he remarked that it
was the first man-of.war he ever saw.
He was deeply engrossed in scanning the
horizon when the boat slackencd its
speed, backed water, land with a bump
and a lurch, was made fastto the Roton
Point landing. The Beantowncr was
amazed and disappointed when he learned
that the voyage was over so seen, but
scrambled ashore and made straight for
Knubel’s paviliOn,whcre he seated himself
at a table and beckoned for a waiter, to
whom he said :——-“Now my good fellow, I
came from far inland for the express
purpose of enjoying a shore dinner, for
which I understand your establishment is
famous. Now treat me well and. I’ll
recommend this place editorially to our
readers, and send you a copy of the
paper.” “Yes sah, jest write down your
order, sah,” replied the waiter as he
handed the guest a blank tablet and
pencil. Gentle reader, what do you sup-
pose he wrote on that order sheet as his
ideal of a “shore dinner?” Here is a
faithful copy of his order :— '

“1 plate Beans, (baked,)

“1 sandwich, (Ham,)

“3 hard Hens’ eggs,

“1 slice Watermelon,

“1 tumbler full of spruce Beer.”

The waiter took the order to the kitchen
and the cook sent it to the proprietor.
After a brief delay the waiter returned
with the same slip of paper which he
handed to the hungry Cosgrove, who
turned it over and read on the other side :—

“Young man, you have evidently struck

the wrong place. This is neitheracattle
show, nor a church festival. You can

Danbury fair, (which is in session during
the first week in October,) where you can
also procure popcorn prize packages and
red balloons.”

Cosgrovc clapped on his hat, tore up
three paper napkins for spite, strode in-
dignantly out of the pavilion, and instead
of waiting for the boat, walked all the
way back to South Norwalk and sat pout-
ing in the depot for two hours and a half
waiting for a train to return to Danbury.

Reminiscential.
0n renewal of my subscription I thought

some of your readers would like to know
what transpired fifty years ago in N orwalk,
but there are very few who will; remember
what I shall have to say. It knew about
every male person, socially or by sight, in
N orwalk. I do not call but four or five to
mind,namely, James Mitchell, Chas. Clock,
William Church, Alonzo Arnold and Mr.
Campbell, now living. I remember enough.
those few years I lived in Nor-walk to fill, a
column or more in the GAZETTE '. for one
year. I will relate a few anecdotes first,
and it you think they are worth publishing
I will occasionally write some more. I first
went to housekeeping in Burrell’s building,
ovenJohn A. Weed’s drug store. Charles
Isaacs kept a ha'rdw'irre store nearly oppos ite
As Charley was of a social disposition, his
store was quite a resort, particularly even-
ings. Uncle Sam White generally made it
his headquartersand noone could embellish‘
a story better than he could, and they were
generally about something that happened in
Bethel, as he was formerly from that lace.
He said there was a woman who woul visit
some of her neighbors about everyday. Her
visits were ~ never returned, bracause they
could never find her at heme, and she was
always urging them to call on her. There
were a number of ladies she had frequently

visited, who got. their work done about 11

o’clock not started ofl, thinking they had
tra ped her. She was delighted to see them,
an asked why they hadn’t called before,
etc. They spent a very pleasant afternoon.
It was drawing towards night and there
were no preparations for getting tea. They
stayed until the last moment, and then
called for their wraps. , She seemed to be
taken by surprise. She could not think of
having them go until they had taken tea,
with her, but that was out of the question
as it was so late. “Well,” she said, “if you

'won’t stay won’t you have some cake and

cheese?” They said they would. “ Then
she said: “I am desperate sorry we haven’t.
got any 1” .

In those days everybody’s cellar was full
of cider, he said in relating another story,
and it was reported there Was a. member of
the church that drank seven gallons of cider
a day: The congregation thought that was
drinking to excess, so they called a church
meeting to talk over the matter. 'He was
asked to attend, but he paid no attention to
the invitation. At the meeting a committee
of one. was appointed to wait on him. The
committee told the brother that he thought
it was drinking "too much to consume seven
gallons 9. day, but it was a very easy matter
to reduce it by taking a pint a day less
until you get it to six gallons, and then
keep reducing until you get it to five gallons,
which ain’t too much for anybody to drink.

‘ He told these stories for facts and would

give the names of the parties. Taownarnes.

_ . The “Spirit Rappers.”
En; GAZETTE—The modern Spiritualists
claim a total membership throughout the
civilized world of about twenty—five mil-
lions, ‘of which number eleven milliorls are
accredited to this country. They assert
that their doctrine of a future life is the
only true one. , They denounce Christian-
ity as being a worthless superstition, and
deny the existence of the God, Heaven,
Satan and Hell of the Bible. Their prin-
cipal agencies now in operation for prose-
lyting purposes are the scances, their
press organs and books. and ‘a small army
of more than two hundred male and fe-
male lecturers, many of whom are engaged
the entire season in advance. From Sep-
tember to July these speakers travel
throughout the land making hundreds of
converts, and are well paid for their ser-
vices. Among them arc scientists, law-
yers, doctors, judges, cx-christian minis-
ters and eminent literary men and women,
the profundity of whose wisdom it is
claimed utterly precludes the possibility
that they could become the dupes of any
illusory religious hypothesis. Either
their doctrine is true, or it is false. If
true, the sooner such truth is demonstrat-
ed to the world, the better for humanity in
general. If it is false, it is high time it
should be thoroughly exposed and forever
relegated to the limbo of preceding dead
and buried heresies. The writer having
madea searching investigation of the sub-
ject' during seven years, has reached the

and he proposes to enter the lecture field
the coming season for the purpose of com-
batting that fallacy. I will discuss the
subject under the auspices and chiefly for
the benefit of the church, temperance, G.
A. R., or other societies whenever called.
Any society desiring to engage my ser-
vices can do so by addressing me at Nor-
walk, Conn. C. V. ARNOLD.

Mrs. Robert McDonald and daughter
Flora are visiting among friends and rela

At no time, on the alarm of fire being
given, has the excitement been so great as
it was on Saturday night, when it was re—
ported to be Crofut & Knapp’s factory, No.
2, that was on fire, but it proved to be a. two
story house near it. The damage to the
house and 115 occupants were probably as
great in proportion.

Our soldier boys have returned tanned
and hardened by exposure, but in general
appearance and demeanor far better than
last year, and it was remarked by many an
observer how few thought it was necessary
to rush to the beer shops to libate or com—-
memorate their release from camp duty.
Doubtless much of their manliness is due to
to the fact that intoxicanis was kept one
mile distant from the camp.

Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Knapp and family
are rusticating among the hills and valleys

Rev. Mr. Biddle and wife have returned

As was expected the “appeal” to consist-
ent temperance men and women from the
Third party affiliates has been received, and
the “appeal is for all who voted for the
constitutional amendment to vote for the
prohibition candidates for office.” ' The
most cogent reason given for this was that
their candidate for comptroller was their
nominee for state senator in 1888 and he
received 119 votes. ,

A local journal chronicles the event that
only one drunk was before the city judge on
Saturday. It .mas remarkable, but there-
were drunks in the cars from the races who
should have been taken there as soon as
they alighted at the depot.

gathered on the old school house will be
knocked off as the first tones are given, the

by and by, our school boys and girls have
become full grown men and women.
