Not Satisfied.

The Narcissus who pens what he
prides himself is an editorial column in
the News, is not yet satisfied that the
GAZETTE was right when it stated that
seats had beencheCked from the Music
Hall chart'beere it was opened to the
public, and inrhis effort to swell him-
self a second time piac'es both feet in
the trough. The great trouble with
the News man is that he has an idea
that he is a natural born editor and is
so tickled with his own vanity that he
can’t contain himself and consequently
slops over at every opportunity.

On'Tuesday he said the chart was

open, and on Thursday he states that it
was sent up at 10:30 Sunday night and
thrown over the transom of Potter’s
place so that it might be opened early
in the morning. The fact seems to be
that the Narcissus of the News is in the
hands of uncertain witnesses. _

Mr. Potter called at this office yes-
terday and stated that he had the chart
on Saturday and Prof. Yoerger also
says he gave it to him on Saturday,
Mr. Potter further stated that he him-
self checked ofi‘ some seats early Mon-
day morning, which corroborates the
statement made by his clerk that seats
had been checked'ofi.‘ when he opened
the chart at 7 o’clock.

We hope that the News will not call
Mr. Potter a liar for saying that he had
the chart prior to 10:30 Sunday
night, or‘ for admitting that he had
checked ofi'th _. seats. We also hope
that on future dgoasions the Narcissus
of the waning News will thoroughly
investigate the facts before he makes
an ungentlemanly denial. _

 

A Fair Proposition.

The argument used against the oys-
ter police bill, that it is special legisla:
tion, is specious, to say the least, right‘
I y says the Bridgeport Standard. The
oyster business pays its Iown and city
taxes just as any other business does,
and then, in addition, pays a direct tax
to the state—for what? It receives a
small return in the expenses of mud
dumping, which are incurred to guard
the beds of the planters from damage.
Aside from that, and some incidental
benefit in the keeping together of the
records, maps, etc., in the office of the
commission, the business receives no
return for what it pays the state. It is
taxed, but gets nothing in‘, return, its
taxes going into the general fund. That
cannot be said of any other important
industry in the state. The oyster plant-
er buys his ground at;a fair valuation,
considering that without his effort and
outlays upon it, it is absolutely worth-
less, and then he takes his chances with
his crop, unaided and with no state pro-
tection from the numerous enemies
which he must meet. What he now
asks is that a portion of his taxes be
used to help him guard and gather his
precarious crop. It is only a fair prop-
osition, and no maii who understands
the conditions can deny its justness.

 

Buy at Home.

Buy of our own merchants. Don’t
run gafter “Flitters” who dodge into

town and with tempting circulars at-
tempt to dispose of so called bankrupt
stocks, gather in what money they can
and then skip out for another town.
When you deal with your home mer-
chant you know where to find him if
the purchase does not suit, but if you
buy from a ‘fFlitter” you have no re-
course and must grin and bear it.

The home merchant spends his money
in NorWalk, the “Flitter” carries it
away. By all means make your pur-
chases from reputable home dealers and
keep the money in town.

CHAPTER L.

The old wagon had been nicely
cleaned and sent to the baker on Satur-
day night. True to Godll'ei't, at day-
break on Sunday morning the loaves of
hot bread were tightly packed into it,
the baker having covered the bottom,
sides and top with paper, while my
own blankets and poncho were used as
further protection and concealment, of
the precious load. Not knowing what
might be the condition of things at the
front, I used my saddle as a seat,
placing it on top of the load and letting
my feet dangle on the thills. The mud
had become so deep in consequence of
the heavy rain that the willing steed
could scarce move the heavy load fast-
er than a walk.

On the day previous I had accosted
an honest German farmer, who was un-
concernedly plowing his field of very
fine corn not more than two miles from
the battle-ground. I reined into the
fence and asked him how he could so
contentedly work at his crop while one
of the most tremendous battles in the
world’s history was going on within
sight and sound of him and when a
chance shot might at any moment send
him into eternity ? Never was reply
more characteristic of the proverbially
phlegmatic Teuton; said he, “If dem
fellers lets me alone, I lets dem alone.”
This Sunday morning I regretted to see
the farmer’s corn 'all washed into the
mud and his field flooded, by the tre-
mendous rain fall.

A half a mile perhaps before reaching
Cemetery Hill, I met Sterling’s Bridge-
port Battery, just as it was deploying
southward to take position on our ex-
treme left flank. George” Daskam, of
N or.walk, instantly spied me and jump.
ing off his caisson limped up to my
grotesque vehicle and exclaimed—‘ ‘For
God’s sake have you anything about
you to eat? I’m starved. . ’Haint had
a hard-tack even for two days.” As
slyly as I could, I withdrew two loaves
of the bread. from under the covering
and bidding him conceal them inside
his blouse, moved away from his equal-
1y hungering comrades, as rapidly as
possible, knowing that little of my
freight would remain were itscharacter
discovered by a battery of half-starved
men. Daskam said the rumor was,
when they left their position, that
morning, that Lee had commenced to
retreat; he did not know what truth
was in the story, but guessed the rebels
had not renewed the attack because of
the downpour of rain.

On reaching Cemetery Hill it was
thickly dotted With knots of soldiers,
apparently greatly excited. A due
sense of caution as to the safety of my
load, suggested leaving the highway
and driving across lots around the
northeasterly slope of the hill and thus
approaching the Seventeenth’s position
and thus I soon had the hungry, worn-
out remnant of that noble regiment
surrounding the bread wagon. It was
the work of but a few minutes to throw
the still warm loaves into the air, over
the heads of the brave boys and leave
them to catch and scramble for them
as they did with all the gusto of boys,
with a load of apples upset in front of a
school-house.

Allen here informed me that the one-
my had left our front. Hastily unhar-
nessing my horse and again saddling
him and leaving the Seventeenth boys
to back the old wagon down against a
wrecked stone-wall, I hurried to head-
quarters to learn that in all probability,
Lee was preparing to retreat, although
a formidable force was still in our front.
The next visit was to Dr. Hubbard,who
somehow managed to get more reliable
informatton and was under less re-
straint in imparting it, than anyone at
general headquarters. The Doctor was
quite sure that the rebels were already
on a retreat and that the force con-
fronting our advanced pickets was only
the usual rear guard to protect the
main body in their efforts to escape us,
which proved to be true.

My next duty was to hunt up one of
the Tribune men and fortunately soon
discovered Sypher. Meantime, word
had reached headquarters that the re-
lief train from Washington had arrived
at Littlestown. I ordered Sypher to
go at once with me to the train and
take passage as soon as it left for Balti-
more and thence get to New York with
all possible speed. I gave him all my
desultory notes to use with his own,
and standing up in a box-car, he wrote
out quite a long and thoroughly ac-
curate account of the three day’s battle
by the time he reached Baltimore.
Here, he was? fortunate enough to make
a close connection with a train from
Washington for New York which ot
him there about midnight. Mon ay
morning’s Tribune of July 6th, again
distanced all its contemporaries in the
completeness of its Gettysburg report.
The summing up of .Sypher’s narrative,
based on.our information gained before
he left Littlestown. was in these words:

“With the swelling Potomac in his front
Couch and French on his flanks. and Meade’s
victorious army in his rear, Lee has the alter-
native of haying his army annihilated or of
surrendering to the National forces. Meade
will give him but little time to deliberate.”

In the sameday’s issue of the Tri-
bune, the following appeared in its edi-
torial columns :

“Our correspondent ‘Beta’ telegraphs us
Sunday evening : .

“We have the enemy hedged on all sides
We apparently cannot fail to crush him.”

On bidding adieu to Sypher at Lit-
tlestown, I had ridden direct to my

Hanover wire, and telegraphed the
Tribune of his coming and the fore—
going diagnosis of thesituation, as it
seemed clearly apparent at the time.
It was no fault of the situation, nor of
Sypher and “Beta.” that results did not
confirm these predictions.

When accompanying Sypher to Lit-
tlestown, and about a mile west of that
village we met Col. William H. Noble,
commander of the Seventeenth, riding
rapidly for Gettysburg.

Spying me, he shouted, with intense
feeling expressed in his face and voice,
“Where are my boys ? How are they?
How have they fared?” He did not
then know that the brave Fowler had
fallen. and many more bitten the dust,
but he was assured that his grand old
regiment had honored itself, our state.
and the Nation. The Colonel had been
left behind in hospital, because of his
serious wound received at Chancellors-
ville, but on hearing of the fight at
Gettysburg, with still bandaged arm,
he insisted upon being allowed to re-
join his command, and was the first
who came on the special train to reach
the battle-field. He was finely mount—
ed, and in a Colonel’s full uniform, with
his long gray beard and locks 'fiying in
the wind, as he galleried off, a grundly
conspicuous figure. ,

Neither Sypher nor myself will ever
forget the gallant and determined look
he wore, as with still bandaged arm he
so superbly sat his horse. Henry of
Navarre could not have presented a
more majestic, soldierly spectacle. Say
what anyone may of General Noble’s
errors, now that he is departed, truth
justifies and impels the testimony, that
a braver and more intensely loyal oili-
cer, never drew sword in defense of
the assailed Union. .

The Tribune ha'd, or supposed it had
and should have had a reportorial force
of not less than twenty men present at
l'the battle of Gettysburg. With the
exception of J. R. Sypher, the man I
accidentally saw and engaged at Lan-
caster, not a soul of them materialized,
or furnished the paper employing and
liberally paying them, a single line, un-
til three days after the fight was over.
Where all these men sought safety in
the rear was never revealed. It is
needless to state that there was a se-
vere pruning of the list of these Army
correspondents, alter the Gettysburg
campaign was over.

Sypher remained at the New York
office of the Tribune for several days,
continuing to write up facts and inci-
dents of the great battle as they came
to his knowledge or were recalled to
his memory. In the paper of Tuesday,
July 7th, among other incidents he
gave an abbreviated account of my dis
covery~and use of the Hanover tele-
graph line and President Lincoln’s call
for my identity and for further infor-
mation, which at the time, was made a
bit sensational. From this Sypher nar-
rative, a dozen or more quite as erron-
eous statements found their way into
print. Dr. Crofutt, in his elaborate
“History of Connecticut in the War,”
gives a faulty outline and the “Mam-
moth Encyclopedia,” has another ac-
count, still more erroneous, but a veri-
table narration of the important, though
entirely accidental circumstance of the
discovery, repair and use, of the Han-
over telegraph line, has never until in
this series of chapters, been narrated
in detail, and precisely as it occurred.

 

After Many Days.

Town Clerk Herbert R. Smith was
looking over some papers, belonging to
his father, the late William Bandel
Smith, the other day, when he came
across a bank book of the Bowery Sav-
ings band, in which he found a deposit
of $5 credited to the owner of the book,
now deceased. The first and only de-
posit credited on the book was made in
1878 and was for $10. Soon after $55 of
this amount was withdrawn. Mr.
Smith wrote to the officials of the bank
and in return received a letter stating
that there was $9.48 to the credit of
the book which will be paid to the heirs
after proper certification as to their
identity.

Gone' East. .
This morning, a woman apparently
about 60 years old, her face tanned to

fiecked hair, clothes dust-begrimed,
shoes soil—ladened and down at the
heel, and on her' back a large satchel
kept in place by a strap, approached
Chief Bradley on Wall street and asked
him to show her the most direct road
to New Haven. Her request was grant-
ed the chief going as far as the foot of
Mill Hill with her in order that she
might make no mistake in getting out
of town. She was a wretched looking
specimen of humanity, but the posses-
sor of an apparently new parasol. "

Everybody talking About it.

Everybody is talking about the great
free ofi'er of Dr. Greene’s, the most suc-
cessful specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, and who discovered
that wonderful medicine, Dr. Greene’s
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. He
makes a specialty of treating patients
through letter correspondence, and all
who accept his offer are astonished at
the marvelous success of this method.
His ofiice is at 35 West 14th St., New
York City, where he receives and care-
fully examines every letter sent to him
by persons describing their cases and
telling him their symptoms. After
thoroughly studying each case r he
answers the letter, explaining the cause
of each symptom and telling 'a sure way
to get well and strong. He makes the
patients understand exactly what ails
them and tells them all about their com-
plaint, and all this is entirely free of
charge. They save the expense of a
trip to the city, have no fee to pay, and
have the benefit of the best medical ad-
vice and consultation. Here is an op—
portunity for you to get well, reader,
you can either accept or reject it.
