The Morwalk Boat.

The Norwalk propeller will naturally be the favorite freight line of our merchants. and others. having frequent consignments from New York but we doubt whether the adyantages of the steamboat line from New York to Norwalk have received the attention they deserve. The Steamboat Americus starts from pier 37, East River, at foot of Market St., at 2:45 P. M.. and from foot Of 3Sd St, East River. at 8 3r.m.. arriving at South Norwalk at 6 P. M.. in time to connect with the 6:17 train for Danbury and Litchfeld. Passengers and baggage are conveyed to the depot imme- diately on the. arrival of the boat, free of any expense and but about two minutes ride. The fare is but 75 cents, or excur- sion tickets down and back, $1 ,2b, which is 8 great saving from the railroad fare from South Norwalk. The landing at foot of ssd street is very easy to get Lat from all parts of the city, as there are num- Der of horse car roads that terminate at the foot of 34th st., from up, down and across town, So that passengers can reach the boat at that point from almost any part of the city. oa -rs..fss5,, ss @s
 We can conceive of DO pleasanter way of reaching Litchfeld from New York than this. Escaping all the heat and dust of the afternoon ride on the New York and New Haven railroad by taking boat, then coming up the Danbury. & Norwalk and Shepaug railroads in the cool of the even ing, the traveller in reality escapes the chief annoyances of summer travel.

 = The fair of the Village Improvement Association on the Fourth of July was not as successful as it would have been, on accounteof the severe storm which pre- vailed. It was necessary to move all the articles out of the tent, and postpone the fair until the next day. On that day the attendance was good and the sales large, aggregating about twelve hundred dollars. The profits win probably amount to con siderably over five hundred dollars, which under the circumstances is doing extreme ly we'll The tent was finely decorated, and the articles offered for sale were very beautiful, and were readily disposed of.

The legislative Temperance committee have before them several bills, for g state constabulary, for a license law, for re- straining iquor-selling by injunction, and for making lquor-sellers liable for the damage their liquor does i,s re. We have so often given our views on this matter that any reiteration of them seems hardly necessary. We have no faith in a con- stabulary for Connecticut, at least, nor do we want license law that shall permit sales where they are now prohibited. The law proposed by the Hon. Truman Smith seeking the punishment of liquor sellers by injunction is contrary to the spirit, if not to the letter, of the constitution which
 allows all criminals the benefit of trial by jury: We should be glad to see law passed making liquor seller responsible for the damage his liquor does. But the statute we specially desire is '1ocal op- tion" law that will let every locality re- strict the liquor traffic by such means as are suitable to it, and of those means we believe each locality can best judge for itself. .F r.-.,-..-.F ....,..

The unanimity in favor of Greeley at Baltimore bids fair to equal the unanimi- ty in favor of Grant at Philadelphia But for Deleware and, perhaps, stray Penn sylvanian or two, the vote for the Farmer of Chappaqaa would probably be unani- nous. For an exhibition of so-called Christian feeling we have never seen any thing like this. MT. Horatio Seymour set most excellent example. Then MT. Harry Gilmore :'saw'' MT. Seymour and ."went him one better" for he carries around Triawane clipping recommending that he should be hung, and yet goes for Greeley-at least so says Mir. Bromley of the Hartford Post, who has read the clip ping, and endorses it after q fashion. Probably there is hardly prominent Democrat in that convention that MT.
 Greeley has not called either & liar. a thief, or Q traitor, or all three, within the past two years He retracts nothing, yet they meet like so many sdoves and .s en- dorse" him!

The Senate, last week, passed bill to introduce the compulsory feature into our School system. Itseems that there areover 12, 900 children in the State, between the ages of and 16 who attend no school. The laws which compel the taxpayers generally to support the public schools, and which forbid the employment of child ren in factories when they ought to be in school, imply the further duty on the part of the public to enforce the attendance of children at school. Our readers have not forgotten the monstrous Perkins case in Cornwall which resulted from the bringing up of an entire family in gross ignorance. The officials of one of the towns in which that wretch at one time lived threatened to put tue existing lSw ill force asalnst linn for not educating his children, and he left the town rather than comply.

insurance afTaxation.

The Hartford Insurance companies are cool lot. After cheating the State out of the taxes on about eight million dollars for series of years by under valuations, they have the impudence to come before the legislature with demand of further reduction in their taxation. They have a numerous lobby force at work for them in New Haven and comport themselves, alto gether, as large corporations working for their own and against the public interest
 are wont to do. That this most impudent demand can be acceded to by the elegislature
 we have no fear; but regarding the taxa
 tion of premium notes the true course is not so plain. Although the companies collect interest on those notes they are treated, after all, as a pledge rather than
 as an investment, and, if taxed at all, should certainly be taxedat low rate.
 Why the insurance companies should go to the expense of publishing special papers devoted to their interests, so long so long as the Hartford Courant is in ex-
 istence is Q mystery. The Insurance Mans
 Own Advocate couldn't champion them more unreservedly than does this " lead ing Republican journal. Il -a

The English RO, al Family's History
The Guelphs.

TIE learned in the remote antiquities
are accustomed to say that Queen Victo-
ria is descended from the hero Wooden, of
whom the Norsemen made a god, and
who gave his somewhat ungracious name
to our modern day Wednesday An Ital-
ian adventurer, named Azon d'Este, en-
gagged his sword in the service of the En-
| perOr Conrad toward the close of the
| eleventh century, and founded the house
of Hanover by marrying Cunegunda of
| Guelph, very wealthy woman. He
dropped his own name, and was hence
/ forth known as Guelph. Their son mar
ried the widow of the Earl of Kent, the
brother Of Edward the Confessor, and
these found much favor in the eyes of
Henry the Fourth, who took away Otho
of SaXony's Bavarian possessions and
/ gave them to the newly married pair.
Lucky marriage brought this enterpris-
ing family higher and higher, until one
of the sons married a daughter of Henry
the Second, King of England, who sue
ceeded in getting her father to give her
husband the countships of Brunswick
and Luenburg. These countships became
! duchies under Otho the FourteeAth, and
| William of Guelph became duke.
These Guelphs fettered through a variety
of marriages until they came to the seven
sons of the great grandfather of George
| the First King of England. These sons,
all dukes, were each entitled TO a share
| Of his possessions. But in order not
| to split up the family coronet, the
brothers made solemn compact that
only one of them should make a
! legal marriage. This would make
the autonomy of the house complete; and
the compact was adhered to. The sixth
son was the one who contracted the legal
marriage, and his eldest son married the
granddaughter of James the First, thus
| clearing the way for an alliance in the
future with the crown of Great Britain.
The house of Hanover owes its existence
on English soil to-day to judicious
matchmaking This son secured the
title of Duke of Hanover, and, as his
father had done, prevailed on his brother
to devote himself to celibacy. But a
morganatic marriage, contracted with
EleonOra dAlbrense, a French refugee
from Louis Fourteenth's religious tyTan.
ny, has always been thorn in the side
of the Hanover dynasty. A daughter by
this marriage became the wife of George
the First, and every one remembers the
story of the cruel manner in which she
was treated, and how her old schoolfel-
low who tried to defend her when she
had fled the cruelty of her husband was
assassinated. On her deathbed she sum
moned her tyrant to answer for his crimes
at the bar of God before year passed.
He went to find his judge within that
year. The morganatic marriage did as
much to embarrass the house of Hanover
as the former artful alliance had done to
exalt and enrich it, At the death of King
William the Fourth the crown was sepa
rated from that of Great Britain, as law
prohibits women from ascending the
