Gems" from the Eaton Register"

Gems" from the Eaton Register"
AT the time the editor of the Eaton
Weekly REGISTER was exhausting his,
vocabulary for choice epithets to hurl
at those who were engaged in the sale
of liquor, we remarked that it would
be but a short time until he would
deny having ever uttered half the vile
sayings that appeared in that paper,
because no one but an idiot or fool
would write such stuff against citi-
zens of their town, unless they. were
convicted outlaws or as black at heart
as the Mercer county fiends. We had
charity enough for him, too, to think
that he was not quite idiotic, although
at times he exhibited the strongest
symptoms of an escaped lunatic or
the misfortune of having any
"wisdom teeth" to mature. Our pre-
dictions have come true, for this same
Morris is now undertaking to sugar
these ",outlaws" and "murderers"
oyer, and because we reminded him
of his insane abuse, he charges us with
being "wormy," and denies eve say
ing or even thinking what we quoted
against him. Stand up Isaac, and
don't hide your face and undertake to
deny your own offspring. We charg-
ed you with Saying that you preferred
the rule of whisky to that of the Dem
ocratic party. Now, if the following
language does not prove our assertion,
then it don't prove that you are OPP
posed to Democracy:
f.Our reason for devoting our space
to fighting Democracy is that we think
it a greater enemy than whisky"
We also charged him with prefering
houses of ill-fame to saloons. Nc
man with a grain % common sense
will say one evil in a community is so
much greater than another, and then
prefer the evil to the LESSEE
one; hence We took it for granted
that the following from Morris would
satisfy the most ignorant that he does
give. houses of prostitution the pref
erence, just for the same reasons that
he would whisky over Democracy:
"They are all (saloons) houses of
ill-fame, not i'll the usual Specification
of that term, but WORSE"
Who would ask any stronger proof
than this of Isaac Morris preference?
We give a few more of his choice
gems that these ''patriots( p" may
know what he thought of them but a
q few months ago. Of those who
even go into saloons, he says:
at is as fatal to you as would be a
single lapse of your SISTER from the
path of PURITY !"
What an exalted estimation Morris
places upon female virtuei Again:
GAS well tear down the laws pun

"They are already ADVERTISED in the

checks and sinking carcasses that go
about our streets, and in. the Demo
crat itself, that seeks their good will.
AS for Us we want neither their
canes, nor their good will, in any
shape or FORM"
Two months ago Morris did'iit want
the good will in any shape of these

and "murderers," but how they are

The Place of Graves.
BY MRS. C. c. FIELD.

The clouds have parted, rain no longer
And through the riffs trace the blue
above;
III leave the house that shuts like prison
And seek a spot love.
"a place of graves" between two hills
One to the other, and to-day have kissed
And sent a loving message each to each,
Behind a veil of mist
Here in this old forsaken burial place,
The sweetest flowers of early spring are
found;
Here the arbutus hides its blushing face
And creeps from mound to mound.
Right well know that shy flowers dim
retreat, =,
For often, ere the buds were sweet with
This rocky ledge has felt my childish feet
Along its steepest way.
And now again beneath the shelving, rock
That frOwns above row OF crumOhhs
tOOmDS,
Where shadowy pines their branches in
pluck its clustering blooms.
And in this shaded nook, by all forgot,
| leave them where later mound
Scarce PAM can see the doubIy hallowed spot
For bitter, binding tears.
For here, by gloomy pines o'ercanopied,
A poor heart-brOken soldier sleeps for
Lay me beneath thu arbutus LEDGE he
said.
Where She may come one day"
And here to-day, mid sunny CLEANS and
and showers,
Seeking, with saddened heart, his place
of rest,
To die upon his breast.
And yet his grave needs not a flower that
dies,
For tender violets spring from out its
gloom
The rare arbutus clasps him where he lies,
rooted, IiUiRg bloom!

AN EARNEST APPEAL.

ROCHESTER,. July 10.-The Democrat
anil Czro@jcle contains an appeal from
the woman suffrage leaders, Of which
the following is a synopsis
Women of the United States The
hour for political action has come. For
tie first time in the history of the coun-
try woman is recognized in The platform
Of a large and dominant party. Phlla-
delphia has spoken and woman is no
longer IGNORED This is the thin edge ct
the ent,rirg edge which shall break
woman's slavery into pieces and make us
ut last nation in which caste Of sex
shall fall down by caste of color, and
humanity alone shall be the criterion OF
human RIGHTS. The women Of the COun-
try have long looked to the Republican
party in hope, and not in vain for to-
day we are launched by it into the po-
litcal arena, and it must hereafter fight
our battles This great party, this pro-
grcssiyc party, having taken the initia-
tive step will never 60 back on its
record.
Many Republican leaders and Repub-
lcan candidates extend their sympathy,
while the other party gives no promise,
either in the platform or the letters OF
its nominees. Horace Greeley has been
for years our most bitter oppon ent, both
by tongue and pen. He has heaped
abuse, ridicule and misrepresentation
upon our leading women, lille the
whole power of the Irj5at0e has been
used to crush out our great reform :;
and now he continues his hostile course.
He presses the iron heel of despOtsm
upon their liberties, and says he neither
desires our help, nor believes us capable
of giving any. Woman and woman
speakers are earnestly needed to cooper
ate, therefore, with the Republican
party.
The appeal is signed on behalf of the
National Womans Suffrage Association,
by Susan B. Anthony, President, and
Matilda Joslyn Gage, Chairman of the
Executive Committee.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT Toll
bursts train over the Rutland e Wash
ington Railroad, due in Rutland at 4. So
D. m, met with an accident on Satur-
day, just after leaving Middle Granville,
which, had it happened while the train
was at tuil speed, would undoubtedly
have been very serious affair. The en-
gineer, almost Immediately after leaving
the station, discovered something wrong
about his locomotive, and upon stopping
discovered that the shaft on the forward
driving wheels was broken. Another To-
connective was quickly sent from Rutland
to take its place, but upon attempting to
remove the disabled one out of the way
of the train, both of the driving wheels
fell inside the track, taking considerable
time to remove them, so that the loco
motive could be moved. What the con-
sequences would have been had this shaft
broken and the wheels fallen in while
the train was under full motion can
hardly be contemplated calmly. The
train arrived in Rutland little over
three hours late.

The city journals have given you an
account of the mortality during those
days We were in New York upon
two of those days, and we know that
one can hardly realize the effect of that
terribly heated atmosphere IN such
place without witnessing it and par
taxing in its discomfort. Fleshy per-
sons looked as though they were in dam
ger of melting. Some had a purple
look which we were sure was omirous of
danger Young persons, accustomed to
the shade, were hurrying along, while
the perspiration streamed down their
faces or was constantly being wiped off,
and deep red spots indicated that they
should be out of the sun. Some weary
acting persons dragged themselves along
as though necessity, alone, compelled
them to be thus exposed; and yet, for
many, where was there any escape?
Attics and cellars crowded with men,
women and children the steaming
perspiration rendering the atmosphere
more poisonous than before. What
wonder, that poor little children, by the
scores and hundreds, succumbed to the
hot foul air? We saw one man sitting
upon some stone steps on Broadway
who, if he ever reached his hOme-if he
had any probably breathed but little
while after. He was as white as death,
| and looked near to it. Horses would 90
| down before there carts, and a curious
crowd would gather, even beneath that
SCOrChng sun, to see something which
| could make Il little sensation. Yes, for
| a horse to fall causes a sensation, or a
| moments curiosity, with many of the
| travellers nm and down that MIGHTY citV
I fear, however, that New York takes
! better care of her horses than her chill

ROUND LAKE CAMP MEETING.
4 LeGter from Brooklyn.
THE CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH OF
JULY-TUE HEATED TERM.

Editor Rutnad Herald: We have
not forgotten you, but these long warm
days have little tendency to make one
feel like writing.
We spent the 'tFOurth" in the quiet of
our own home, but the continuous firing
and the din of the great restless city
reached us even here; and we knew that
thousands were striving to CLEAN amuse-
ment and satisfaction after the usual
noisy and Incorporate fashion; and we
knew. too, that many homes were sad
that day in view of the vile drunken
rcvelry of sons, husbands and brothers,
who had gone to mingle in this Babel,
called Fourth of July celebration, y"
and who would return, if at all, more
like beasts than like men.
1t would seem as though the ghosts OF
the old American fathers would haunt
us on these celebration days-that we
dare associate the bloOd-shed, the agony
and the deprivation of their lives, as
consummated in the declaration and
establishment of independence, with the
meaningless noise and selfish carousals
which form so conspicuous part of our
annual Independence celebration.
Better to take what they have left I'M
finished and go on with the work OF
liberalizing and uplifting the masses,
All was not done in 1776 that needs do
inc to render this model Republic.
We fear, indeed, that 1876 will find us
starving for more temperance more
honesty, and broader charities.
There was one feature of this last Gel
ebration which, from the position we
occupied, was wonderful to behold.
We refer to the mingling of the light
nings and the fireworks.
Just from that imaginary line which
divides Brooklyn from East New York,
the scene extended for miles in every
direction. The sky was black with
clouds; and against the dark horizon,
and around two-thirds of its circumfer-
ence. could be seen one continuous upris-
inc shower of fre-balls, sparkling, shoot
ING, and bursting into the inky night.
While every now-and-then the flashes
of lightning made the whole country
luminous and seemed to say to these
smaller pyrotechnics, How insignlfl-
cant you are;" and after playing at
''hide and go SEEK" with the brilliant
playthings, until apparently tired OF the
game, these mightier gamesters put an
end to the play by drowning the lights
in copious shower.
We never beheld so strange, SO wild
and grand scene.

IFEiddfetoVyn.

A party was here from POultney,
and seemed to enjoy themselves, as they
took supper at the MOntvert and walked
over the house and grounds. Parties
come here almost daily from different
sections, and why shouldn't they? The
roads are fine in coming here from any
direction, the scenery good and the ma
terial for proper, rational and pleasant
entertainment, when here, unsurpassed
in the Green Mountain State, indeed
anywhere The MOntvert is a model
house of its kind in structure and finish,
as well as in the furnishings. One of
the best hotel keepers in the country has
charge of it. and no one can 90 there
without being pleased with Mr.. Rick
ord, or with his management OF the
house.
The weather has been excessively
hot for the last three or four weeks here,
as well as elsewhere. In the cities it IS
hardly cndurable, but here with our
bracing air. cooling shade trees, and eX-
ccllcnt water, we can manage to pass
the time with tOlerable comfort. Let
one ascend the hill in the rear of the
MOntvert, on one Of our hot days, and
sit down urder those fine trees, and he
will find the breeze, which Is always
there, refreshing.
Our farmers are well along with
their haying, and are getting good crops.
Pastures are excellent this ycar-the
feed was never better, and is keeping up
as fresh as on the first of June.
We'll, you will inquire, how is Gree
lev stock in Middletown? The noise is
ncrcasing-cannot say confidently as
to Stocb One Greeley man will make
more noise than twenty Grant men.
Three or four, or half dozen, of the
Greeley coalitionists keep our streets in
turmoil by blowing their HONS for the
ChappaQua Sage, and stranger casually
here might naturally conclude that we
were all for Greeley. The vote in Sep
tcmber will probably indicate the Gree
ley strength here. ETHAN.

IMMENSE REPUBLICAN MEETING IN
New HAVEN, CONN.-One of the largest
political meetings ever held in Connect
cut was held Thursday evening in New
Haven. Some ten thousand persons as
sembled on the green to ratify the nomi-
nation of Grant and Wilson. There was
mnsic, fireworks and a salute. The
meeting was presided over by Governor
Jewel and addresses were made by
Senator Buckingham, the Hon. Charles
II. Pond, the Hon. ii. L. Dawes, of
Massachusetts,, and Representatives Kel-
logg. Strong and Stankweather. The
utmost enthusiasm prevailed. Mr.. Ponds
speech attracted much enthusiasm, mas
much as he has acted with the Dem
.ocratic party for years, a member OF the
State Senate, and candidate of the Dem
ncracy for Lieutenant-Governor. He
took the ground that the Democracy had
sold out, and that between Grant and
Greeley, he must choose Grant as being
much the safer man. The Hon. Charles
Atwatcr, late candidate of the DEM
0cracy for Lieutenant-Gove was

ing. he taking the same ground as Mr..
Pond. The action of such men as
Messrs. Pond and Atwater creates much
