Blueberrying.

o. w. Forley, Club" Miles, E. M.
Campbell, Frank Powers, Will. Hub
bard, and Will. Quimby, went to Vic
tory last week, Tuesday, with the ex-
pectation of bringing home heavy load
of blueberries. A shower in the morn
ing prevented an early start, and they
did not arrive ut Charles Shores (where
they engaged board and lodging and a
building to store their berries in,) until
noon. All hands started Immediately
for the swamp, which is about mile
distant. They didn't have Pearl to
pilot them this year, and consequently
found their way into the swamp all
right. But the blueberries-wher were
they? Not in Victory swamp as any
one of the six will state positively. for,
before six O'Clock they thought they
had travelled the whole swamp over
several times, and the six had about
four quarts of berries. Before they had
been in the swamp three hours they
had been exposed to three heavy thun-
der showers. When the first shower
struck, Miles coat tails were flying in Il
bee line for fir tree, but before the
last shower was over Miles coat-tails
wouldn't fly worth cent. They were
too wet. About this time the startling
discovery was made that all were dry
and that there wasn't as much as a bot
tie of Ayers Hair Vigor in the whole
crowd. Each had supposed that all the
rest would carry some.
AS soon as the boys got wet through
they began travelling to prevent get
ting chilled, and. as they couldn't see
twenty rods ahead of them on account
of the rain, they soon lost their bear
ings. They travelled several hours be-
fore the sun came out. As soon as the
clouds broke, Miles went to climbing
trees to see if he could find Shores
house, but as his mind was in such Il
condition that he couldn't he made to
believe that the sun wasn't settin in
the east, his services in that line didn't
amount to much. Just before sunset,
Campbell got in the top of tall tree
and got his eye on Shores house, and,
though they had wandered three miles
from where they came into the swamp,
under the skillful pilotage of Campbell
they got to the house before dark, and
a wetter, dryer, hungrier set of fellows
Shores never saw. But through the
kindness of Mr.. and Mrs. S., all were
soon made comfortable. MELVILLE.

Too Many of a Kind.

The departure, few days ago, from
New York of a number of carpenters,
weavers and masons, who have gone to
seek in England the opportunities for
work at their respective trades which
do not seem to present themselves IN
this country at the present time, ought
not to be considered as an imitation
that the tide of migration is about to
flow back from American shores. This
exodus of skilled mechanics does not
mean that there are too many laborers
in our land, but simply too many car
penters, weavers and masOns. 1t is not
so much the plane, the loom and the
trowel that we require here as the spade
and pillow. There is yet plenty of en-
ployment within the vast area of these
United States for those who are willing
to zig for their fortunes in the fertile
bosom of their mother earth. Of skilled
mechanics we have more than enough
for present uses, and necessarily they
crowd and embarrass each other in the
struggle for that kind of work for which
they are best fitted. The mistake of
our national industry is that the work
shops and manufactures are too much
sought after, and the farm lands cOnse-
quently left without their full compile
ment of tOilers for their daily bread.
1t does not seem to be sufficiently i'm
pressed upon the minds of the American
people that their surest means of ma
tional prosperity lies in the development
of their agricultural resources. 1t is
not to be expected, therefore, that
foreigners coming here to better their
fortunes should recognize at once those
conditions of prosperity which Ameri-
cans themselves ignore. The foreign
mechanic who comes here with his tool
chest and his trade for capital is like
one who sends his Goals to Newcastle,
warming-pans to the tropical Indies, or
ice to the North Pole. But let ship
loads upon shiploads of them come with
the organized purpose of colOnizing our
western lands and seeking remunerative
labor there where it is to be found, and
they will be sure of realizing all reason
able anticipations of success, while at
the same time they will be comforting
upon their adopted country the boon
that is most precious to 1.-THE labor
which brings out the natural wealth OF
the soil and makes the wilderness pro-
ductive.

Our New York Letter.

JAY GOULD AS TELEGRAPH OPERATOR
HIS PHILANTHROPY FOR j. c.
APOLLINARIs-"PUN IN THE PRES
ENCE OF THE PASsENJARE"-A BLIND
ARMY-A YOUNG AMAZON.
New YORK, August II, 1877.
To the Editor of the CaletlOnian
An almost continuous flow of water
has checked, to some extent, the recent
flow of events, so much so that we have
but one tiTst-class local sensation to
offer this week, and that, too, is init
mately connected with Mr.. Jay Gould
whose involuntary acrobatic perform
ance over Wall street railing, l de-
scIibed couple of weeks since. 1t is
well known that since the Atlantic and
Pacific Telegraph Company passed I'M
der the control of Gould, it has been
fighting that great monOpOlist, the
Western Union, tooth and nail, forcing
prices of telegraphing at last to an al
most nominal figure. All this was fun
for the public, and multitudes were in
clined to raise their opinion of Mr..
Gould for such disinterested and pub
lie spirited course. But alas for cred
ulOus humanity 1t now turns out that
the only interests the smart little man
had i'll view were those of j. G., Esq.
His object was two-fold, first to lower
the price of Western Union stock so that
he could buy it cheap, and secondly, to
compel the latter company to buy him
out in self-defence. The former object
having been attained, Gould this week
brought about conference between
the nominal heads of the two companies
for the object of amalgamating the two.

Tariff.

The futility of our protective Tariff,
is clearly shown by the open ease by
which sugar duties are evaded in New
York Customs. Sugar is refined to the
purity of crystals, by certain process,
and then colored-by the ratings upon
which the duties are levied, color is the
basis, and this article is passed as low
grade. When out of customs, it is
bleached, and there you have ''su-
perior grade" of white sugar.
This is but single case, and, at no
distant day we shall have a revision
and remOdling of our entire Tariff, and
an order of things based almost wholly
on Free Trade.
Our system is bundle of inaccura-
cies, impossibilities, blunders, and stul-
tifications. 1t is like the school boys
attempt on the slippery morning to
attend school, two steps forward and
three back.
An old doctor out west, was called to
see sick child, and was puzzled to in
dictate the disease. AS last resort, he
told the anxious parents he could give
it ''sumthin' to throw it inter fits" and
then he could cure it, for he was "gret
on ftS.n We have the fits. Who will
cure the Tariff?

Silk Smuggling.

Two of the affidavits in the case of
the steamship Denmark reveal the pro-
cesses by which the Struggled silk was
got into port. Purser Maggie says he
was asked by one John Scott to bring
him laces from Copstake & Co., of Lon
don and Rogers & Rafferty,, also of Lon
don, and Scott agreed to pay him 10
per cent. commission, and sometimes
f1O per package.
During my five years. acquaintance
with Scott" adds Nagle, cheerfully, Il
have brought goods over continuously
for about two and half years. | have
brought over for him altogether about
25 barrels of silk. l have occasionally
bought from Richard Clark, of the firm
of j. G. and G. Cooper of Liverpool,
silk on my own account, to be sold on
commission here. The last payment
that received from Scott was on Sat
urday last, the Odd ult., at w. D..

Fifth avenue, this city, amounting to
$500, viz one $1,000 bill and five 800
bills. This money was for two barrels
of silk brought over on the steamer

Richard Williams, storekeeper. MI.

have paid said Graft for landing barrels
of silk for me altogether about $500. No
duty was ever paid to the United States
Government on any of the aforemen-
toned goods"
Captain Bracket is now in Canada
interviewing Scott, and the important
testimony from him, with that from
Nagle, will enable the Government to
gain its case. Francis NJ. Walker, bar
keeper of the steamship Canada, brought
out for Scott during four years in that
steamship, 30 barrels of silk, each con-
tanning from eight to ten pieces. He
received on three occasions from said
Richard Clark, cousignments of silk on
his own account; one in the fall of
1876, f45; one during the month of
February, 1877, f145, and one in May,
1877. Els.

BRAVE ACT OF A LOCOMOTIVE FIRE
MAN.-While the express train going
south over the Northern Railroad Mon
day evening was rounding curve near

track about five rods ahead of the train

had it not been for the fireman, viii
Golfer, who ran forward and snatched
it up in his arms while the train was in
motion. The child proved to be
daughter of Charles Strong of Lebanon.

E Spanish reports continue to an
nOunce the end of the Cuban revolt as
near. The public has become so famil-
lar with these bulletins as to estimate
them at their true value. The real con-
ditiOn of affairs III Cuba is derived from
the proposition of the Spanish Govern
ment to send twenty-five thousand ad-
ditional troops to the Eever faithful
islen in October, the casualties of the
war and the effect of the climate having
fearfully decimated the forces previous
ly dispatched. 1t will be remembered
that at the close of the Carlist rebellion,
about a year ago, General Martinez
Campos was sent with twenty-five thou
sand fresh troops, and the home gov
eminent borrowed twenty five millions
of dollars from rich Cuban planters to
supply them with munitions and sub
sistence. 1t was confidently announced
at the time that the rebels were to be
summarily crushed. They appear quite
as defiant as ever, and perhaps relative
ly better prepared to maintain the strug
gle than at any time since it was in-
augurated. OF course the new contin-
gent of troops will render necessary
another call on the rich loyal planters
fol money to support them. There
must be an end to their ability as well
as willingness to aid in maintaining
Spanish dominion over the island. The
Administration at Washington could in
no way better serve the cause of hui
mainly, or more effectively promote the
commercial interests of the country,
than to interfere for the adjustment of
a strife so fraught with calamity to all
parties

II Secretary Sherman of the Treas
ury Department, has shown himself an
able financier, a friend to the Admins
tratiOn, IL wise councillor and a man for
the people to trust His position is
such that he might plunge the country
into inextricable monetary confusion,
but grasping the situation with Il mas
ter mind, he has steered clear of all
hobbies, and laid his course by the rule
of common sense, and the true needs of
the country. He attempts no quixotic
plans of specie resumption, nor falls
into no pit holes of paper imitation, but
is entitled to the confidence of the whole
people, by his safe and conservative
course. The Anti-AdministratiOn pa
pers make laughable endeavors to find
flaws in the Secretary's Ohio speech,
but, no tangible error in text, or inten-
ton, appears to the honest, candid,
reader.

Telegraphic.

There is another vicious monopoly
foisted upon the public. Jay Gould cor
nered his opponents, and the Western
Union and Atlantic and Pacific, have
combined to Pool their earnings, an
consequently earn all they can, which
means increased tariff. The Atlantic
and Pacific steadily won the gratitude
of the public by placing telegraphing
on a reasonable tariff, but it has gone
over to the enemy.
Now, if they raise rates, let the peo-
pie refuse to patrOnize them, unless in
matters of absolute necessity, in ques-
tiOns of life and death, and use the
mails which are becoming every day
more prompt. This course persistently
pursued will show whether the public
is servant to a telegraph company, or,
if the company is dependent upon the
public. No matter how this combina-
ton came about. If it causes an in
creased tariff its faced imposi-
ton.
Since the above was in type, we have
been handed the following telegram

Jay Gould is in distress now because
of the frequent suggestions that the
federal government should deal with
the railroad. In possession of the Pa
cific road, charging exhOrbitant rates,
paying dividends on his own stock, but
refusing to pay the interest on the gov
eminent, and violating the repeated
laws of Congress that he shall prO-rlte
with the Kansas Pacific, he cries like
jeff. Davis, after selling part of the
Union, that he wants to be 'let alone.
No paternal government for him, now
that he has broken the laws and run
away with the common property.
Some 25 years ago 13 men, six OF

A trial in the supreme court at Greer
field, Mass, last week, brought out one
of the provisions of the state law when
all drivers are not acquainted WITH anu
that is that a team passing another %,

the case in the majority OF counLls

more than two teams, and where eNeLl
one is obliged to keep closely to 'uI
