Yesterday Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe reached the eighty-second mile- stone in her journey through life. Full of years and of honors, she spent the day quietly at home in Hartford re- ceiving the congratulations of her many friends and those of her kinsfolk who could get to see her. If she never wield- ed her sympathetic pen for any other purpose than to write “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” she would be entitled to the gratitude of the world. The prodigious effect of that wonderful book in the overthrow of the African slavery in this country is but a portion of the good it has accomplished. “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” has been translated into the principal languages of Europe and sev. eral of those of the Orient. Its human- izing and elevating influence has made men better in every quarter of the earth. She is still alert and vigorous in spite of her age. __...-._‘+,..____. False Dietary Philosophy. Every now and again some profound philosopher of the Edward Atkinson school settles the whole industrial ques. tion on a dietary basis. With a soup- bone and a handful of leeks, gathered on the roadside, he evolves a magic broth, which will sustain a family of nine persons for a week. He lectures the workingmen upon their besetting sin of eating, too much. At the butcher shop they call for sirloin instead of round or flank. The latter will sustain life as well, we are told, as the former; but it lacks toothsomeness and flavor. What has a laboring man got to do with flavor? His business is to live and work,-especially work. The thought seems never to enter the brain of these food economists that the men who create all the good things of life have some claim to share in their use. Neither do these dietary philoso- phers reflect that in those countries Where people live most meanly, they are the least progressive and accomplish the least of the worlds work. America and Americans lead the world, not because of race or blood,for all bloods mingle here, but solely be- cause of better feeding and clothing and housing. ' Economy of living is praiseworthy in times of distress, but when it hardens into a creed for everyday life its influ- ence is only hurtful to the national life. Pinching and saving year after year have their narrowing effect on mind and body. And the thought comes home to the working-man with great force : Why should I miss life’s good things? Wherever I can live cheaply there am I asked to work cheaply and let the friuts of my frugality flow into the pockets of those who control my in- dustrial destiny. And the policy of scrimping the body is one that hurts the manufacturer and the producer equally with the workman: Why is our home market the best in the world? Only because we are better livers. And those purblind‘ ‘economists” who perennially give utterance to that money sentiment that economy is the road to wealth should be relegated to the rear of our industrial procession. —O- >--—— Fell From a Scaffold.

Copyrighted 1894. CHAPT 1‘. VIII. During the dreary months from Lin- coln’s election to the end of Buchanan’s administration, the ship of state was allowed to drift helplessly upon-the breakers of treason and rebellion. Buchanan’s cabinet was saturated with disloyalty, and be, poor man, whatever patriotism he may have once possessed, seemed stricken with pareSis. No effort was made by him, though undoubtedly deploring secession, to crush out the incipient and active treason in his own Cabinet. Amid all his ' pitiable supineness, there was but the one flash of loyal light to illumine those days of darkness. It was in his replacing the treason-stained Cobb, Floyd, and Thompson, when decency compelled their resignations, with those sterling patriots Stanton, Holt, and Dix, and through the latter giving to the Union cause the inspiration of that undying order,—“If any one attempts to_ haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot!” Yet, how infinitely better had it been for Buchanan’s place in his- tory, had he never been PreSident. He had been Secretary of State, our Min- ister to England, and a Representative and Senator, acquitting himself With when a moment’s firmness would have stamped out the first appearance of rebellion in South Carolina, he showed all the irresolute an pusilanimous cow- ardice of a poltroon. . . The history of the famous Dix order. is worthy a full rehearsal here. It was in January of 1861, and but three days after accepting the treasury Portfolio, that Gen. Dix selected a personal friend of mine, then a chief of a Treasury bureau, Hemphill Jones, by name, to go down the Atlantic seaboard to save our revenue cutters at Mobile, New Orleans, and Galveston. Jones tele- graphed the Secretary of the Treasury from New Orleans that Capt. Bresh- wood of the revenue cutter McClelland would not obey his orders. Gen. Dix thereupon wrote out in a hand almost as bold as one of Drake DeKay’s army passes, these memorable words: “Tell Lieut. Caldwell to arrest Capt. Bresh- wood. assume command of the cutter and obey the order that I gave through you. If Capt. Breshwood, after arrest. undertakes to interfere with the com- mand of the cutter, tell Lieuc. Cald- well to consider him as a mutineer, and treat him accordingly. If any one at- tempts to haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot. John A. Dela, Secretary of the Treasury.” Dix, Stan- ton, Holt, and this order, will live in loyal men’s memories when Buchanan’s name will be forgotten. My friend Hemphill Jones, subse- quently became Clerk of the House Ways and Means Committee and served through the session when Judge Kelly of Pennsylvania was its chairman, and the subject of Tariff revision was under consideration. In this way, Jones made the friendly acquaintance of large numbers of our Connecticut manufac- turers. He has, I believe, gone over to that great majority of the war era, now on “ the other shore.” Without waiting to see whether Lin- coln, or Douglass, or Breckinridge was to wm in the Presidential election in November, South Carolina began a month before, in October, to formulate plans and open correspondence with all the cotton states, in preparation for secession. Her Legislature met in No- vember to choose her Presidential elec- tors, and from that event many ascribe South Carolina’s premature and defiant attitude of hostility toward the Union. The hotheads in this Legislature were responsible for creating the furore among the southern people, that pre- cipitated their own and the seven other cotton states into the Civil War that convuised a continent. The action of South Carolina’s Legislature Was stim- ulated by the agencies of Floyd, Cobb, and Thompson in the Cabinet, and Jeff. Davis in the Senate, and further, by the withdrawal of her two Senators from their seats in Congress, followed by her Representatives in the House. Strange as it may seem, in the_ light of subsequent events, our people in the North still continued in the delusion that despite all these traitorous acts, a peaceful solution would be reached,and all these malcontents continue to re- main in harmony, in the strained, but by no means broken, bonds of the Union. . . . Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mis- sissippi, and Texas, soon followed their hotheaded leader, South Carolina, in completing the list of the eight original states attempting secession. In Con- gress, and especially in the Senate, the traitors, led by Jeff. Davis, were open and “defiant in their treason. Many justified their disloyalty to the Govern- ment they had solemnly sworn to pro- tect and support, by the fatally falla- cious reasoning of Buchanan’s Decem- ber message to Congress, accusing the North and excusing the South in its revolt. Terrible, criminal, folly,—-for a President born and reared in a free state! Let it be hoped that his motives were better than his logic. With the reorganization of Buchan- an’s Cabinet, the Jefi' Davis conspira- tors in Congress, who had been his chief and closest advisers, soon learned honor to his country, and ability, yet' the throne,” of uncompromising and i ncorruptible loyalty. Whereu pon these perjured traitors began to assail the weak and complaisant President, who had yielded them every demand, up to the verge of his own disloyalty, with the bitterest vituperation. Judge Jer- emiah Black was then Buchanan’s Sec- retary of State; he was a Union man and a strong man, always ready, and even anxious, to return blow for blow. He, it was claimed, actually coerced Buchanan into sending to Congress another message in January, in which be confronted his disloyal assailants with an astonishing reversal of his tol- erating, apologetic sentiments, in his regular annual December message. This act out all friendly relations be- tween Buchanan and the rebel con- spirators in Congress, and probably rescued him from being led up to, if not oVer the brink, on the danger line of secession he had been beguiled in- to traversing. by Davis and his co-plot- ters in treason. Meantime the mails continued to be carried the post offices and custom- houses to be maintained by the Govern- ment, throughout these rebellious States. All the best munitions of War and of small-arms about all fit for use, had been shipped to southern arsenals by Floyd; Toucy had ordered nearly every serviceable warship down to southern waters; Cobb had bankrupt- ed the Treasury, and what was worse, the Government’s credit; while Thomp- son was the active aider and abettor of every movement looking to the de- struction of the Union. This was the Nation’s condition when Stanton, Holt, Dix and Black called a halt in the rapid progress of treason. and brought President Buchanan and his closing ad- ministration to a right-about-face be- fore the American people". This stiffening up of Buchanan’s lymph backbone, while it increased and intensified the disloyal and impu- dent utterances in Congress, and espec- ially in the Senate, it also hastened theil departure of the Senators and Repre- sentatives of the so-called seceded States. It did more and better than that. It aroused and encouraged the loyalty of the great North. From Jan- uary to the end of Buchanan’s term, the President was given assurances from northern Legislatures, Governors, and Capitalists, of all needed support in his newly announced combat with treason. ' Secretary Holt. as soon as he was called to succeed the arch-traitor Floyd, set about getting some troops into Washington for the protection of the Nation’s Capital. This greatly encour- aged the North and as greatly incensed the supersensitive South. Ex-Presi- dent John Tyler put himself to the trouble to come up from Virginia, and v1s1t Buchanan, to protest against hav- ing a military escort in the inaugural processwn. Up to Lincoln’s call for seventy-five thousand three-months volunteers, the Government could not have mustered more than ten thousand effective troops of all arms. Even these could not have been effectively armed, for Floyd had stolen all the best for the most gigantic and maturely planned rebel~ lion the world has ever seen. In the little volunteer force in the Clay Battalion, not a dozen men in the some squad could be armed with the same guns or the same size and kind of ammunition. But for the arms fur- nished by the loyal states, the Union army would have suffered a far more disastrous defeat than befell it at Bull Run. No armed oiitbreak rising to the dig- nity of a battle had occurred between the forces of the North and South, from the period of Lincoln’s inaugura- tion, up to our first consolidated en- gagement at Bull Run. There had been several bloody skirmishes not of magnitude or of decisive results. Gen. Butler had been worsted by the one- my near Fortress Monroe and Gen. Schenck, near Washington, in Virgin. ia; Gen. McClellan had driven the enemy from the upper Potomac, with slight loss to either side; and Gen. Lyon, of Connecticut, had reestab- lished ibe National authority in Mis- Souri, all showing the despeiate resist- ance the rebels were determined on, and leading up'to the fiercer struggle, and first real battle, at Bull Run. What an appalling legacy (lid Bu- 'chanan bequeath to Lincoln, that truest, bravest, gentlest, sweetest spirit, born of the world’s most tremendous civil war.

ASK FOR flCElVER. Horace F. Boardman and Herbert L.Camo,Trusteesforthe Bond Holders of the Norwalk and South Norwalk Electric LightCompany,Make Application to the Court. The Application to be Heard and Determined on Friday Next. Sherifi' Toner, last evening, served notice on the officers of theNorwalk and South Norwalk Electric Light com- pany of the application of Horace F. Boardman and Herbert L. Camp. 0f Middletown, trustees for the bond hold- ers of the company, for the foreclosure of eighty bonds, for 'five hundred dol- lars each, amounting in the aggregate to $40,000, and the appointment of a receiver to take, hold, manage, sell and dispose of, all the property, estate, rights, franchises and privileges of the said Norwalk and South Norwalk Elec- trio Light Company. The trustees claim that the Electric Light company has failed to pay these bonds, and that said corporation has a large outstanding indeptedness, is finan- cially embarrassed and unable to pay its debts and obligations as they become due; also that attachments of the prop- erty and estate are threatened, which if made would destroy its contracts with other parties, subject the company to actions for damages for breach of contract and put an-end to all its busi- ness operations, thereby rendering the fig? property and estateof no value. ; .‘ uless the property and assets of the company are properly administered un- der the orders of the court, they are liable to greatly despreciate in value and result in loss to the bondholders and stockholders as well as the credi- tors, and the trustees have therefore asked for a receiver. The application will be heard and determined by the Superior Court on Friday, June 22, at 10 o’clock a. m. . A 85 Acres Fish Culture. When the dam, is built for the Con- necticut fish commission at J oshua- town, the commission will have thirty- fiVc dorms under water for the propaga- tion of fish. Twenty-thousand dollars was appropriated for this work by the legislature at its last session, and there is no doubt that additional money will "-'be‘.-‘pr§"'”ovided as occasion may require. Joshuatown is situated in a hollow near the Connecticut river somewhere opposite Essex, and through it a trout stream runs that will fill the proposed pond for which the dam is to be built. There are two other ponds there which have been acquired for the commission by purchase, making the propagation of fish continuous and protected. Of the appropriation $12,000 goes into the propagation of trout and salmon. Shad are being hatched now. The shad will be kept in the pond until the atural time for them to go into salt water and their size will keep them from being destroyed. The fish commission expects great results in successful propagation from the investment in water prOperty at this point, as being entirely in their .control the ponds can be well protect- ed to the best advantage for the growth of the fish. The Last Slave. . The, Sentinel, yesterday, published an account of Onesimus, who is said to have been the last slave owned in Con- necticut. While the Sentinel’s account is interesting, it is also incorrect. “O-ne,” as he was called. was not pur- chased by Christopher Comstock, but by the Misses Sarah and Phebe Com- stock. The purchase was made on the 0th day of August, 1773, from J onathan Hosted of Brook Haven, and the price paid was thirty-five pounds. O-ne was born on Nov. 1, 1769, and the date of his birth given by Hall’s Norwalk is incorrect. There are several photo- graphs of “O-ne” in town taken bythe late E. T. Whitney. How the Sentinel comes to add Brown to‘ his name is not knowu. -———<- Small-Pox Epidemic. Small-pox has broken out necr the village of Kent, above New Milford, and there is much alarm in that section over the possibility of the disease spreading. .

There are three cases in the former place and one in the latter, and every inhabitant in the two hamlets has been exposed to contagion. . The roads between Kent and the in- fected districts have been barricaded, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the places. A v7 --A Good Move.

The annual meeting of the Over Riv- er school was held Thursday evening. Mr. Frank Leonard was elected chairman. . ' District clerk Alfred E. Austin read the minutes of the last meeting, which were accepted. _ The committee submitted the follow- ing report of their work for the past year, which was accepted : We have expended during the year for : Teachers’ Salaries, $5,328.00 Janitor, 480.00 Fuel, 315.82 Interest, 386.63 Repairs, 154.73 Insurance. 165.00 Supplies, 129.87 Incidental Expenses, 215.41 $7,175.46 The present debt of the district is $8,000. $7,000 is held by the Fairfield County Savings bank and $1,000 by the National Bank of Norwalk. . Your committee report that in their Judgment” the school has maintained its reputation of the past and in the school year just drawing to a close that even greater progress than usual has been made. Our teachers have all been very much interested in their work and are to be congratulated on the success they have made. The kindergarten branch of the school has been more successful than the committee anticipated, and we feel that too much praise cannot be be- stowed upon Miss Cook, our very effi- cient teacher in this department, for her earnest work. We are much pleased to notice that other districts are adopting this method of teaching, as we fully believe it to be the only proper method of beginning school work. Owing to the resignation of three of our teachers, Miss Susan Curtis, Miss Bertha Allen and Miss Emma S. Cook, we shall be Obliged to engage new teachers in these departments for anoth- er year. We regret this as they have been very successful in their work and will be missed by the principal. We report the school buildings and property in good condition, with the exception of painting the buildings which must 'be done this summer. The heating and ventilating apparatus has given the very best of satisfaction and as represented has proven economical. We again urge upon the residents and taxpayers of the district that they visit the school and encourage the teachers in their work and become familiar with the work that is being done in the school.
