In accordance with plan of the editor
formed year ago, the Midsummer Holiday
number Of Seribner's Nonth(y opens with
a portrait of VIM. Cullen Bryant, engraved
by Cole from crayon drawing by Wyatt
Eaton, for which the poet gave repeated
sttings during the past spring. The paper
on Mr. Bryant's life and homes, which it
was also planned to have with the portrait
is by Rev. H. n. Powers, and was written
before the formers illness. The illustra-
tions are about twenty i'll numb Der and chief
ly represent points of interest at Or near the
Cummington and Roslyn residences DR..
Holland also writes editorally of Mr.. Bry-
ant, and "The Old Cabinet contains an
estimate of his standing as poet, and re-
print of the curious original version of
''Ihanateps.s;
There are also in this number four illus,
trated out-of-door articles, as follows: "a

"Falconberg, Mr.. Boyesen's new novel
OF Norwegian and American life in the
North west, begins In this number. The
scene after the first chapter or two will lie
wholly in America. The motif of the story
is to be found in the peculiar influences that
favor or oppose the assimilation Of the Nor
wegian immigrant to the duties and prvi-
leges of American citizenship. This how
ever, it is claimed, will not prevent ''Fal-
eomberg' from being charming and idyllic
love story.

1t is known that secret organization ex-
lists in the South whose purpose it is to Sc
cure payment for rebel claims and for man.
united slaves. Regular records are made
of claims and slaves, on which payment is
to be demanded. This claims ring controls
the politics of the several States. Only its
agents are to be intrusted with power. This
ring constitutes the solid South of today.
1t is bound together by the hope and ex-
pectation and determination of taxing the
National Treasury with the payment OF
So. 600, 900, 600 for rebel claims, and its pun
pose will be accomplished whenever all the
branches of the Federal Government shall
fall into Democratic hands.

TRAMP OUTLAWS.

The large party from Northampton,
Westfield and other places along the line of
the New. Haven and Northampton railroad
had an otherwise enjoyable excursion TO
the Sound Saturday spoiled on the return
by outrages unparalleled in this section.
When the train reached Cheshire, Conn,
at night it was boarded by gang of forty
or more roughs, said to be from the South
ington rolling mills, beside several tramps,
who, tlourishing revolvers and other weap-
ons, -overawed both excursionists and train
hands. They uncoupled the rear car, which
was filled, and the train had to run back
mile for it.
Afterward they stopped the train several
times by pulling the bell cord, and divided
themselves into four gangs, each of which
took possession of car and ruled with a
high hand. Both men and women were
struck by the roughs, clothes were snatched
from the person and kept, and the women
were otherwise insulted, and many of them
tainted from fright. Among the women
thus abused was the mother of Superintend-
ent Yeamans, and the men were powerless
to avenge the affrOnts. In the front car,
however, where there were less of the gang
a few men, headed by Editor Converse, of
Easthampton, pitched into the roughs and
cowed them. Several of them who chanced
to be separated from the rest of their crowd
were caught and thrown from the train,
and few left at Southington, but most of
them kept on as far as Plainsville, where
they got Off AS it was, the train was four
hours running to Westfield. .-
1t is said that many of the roughs- are
known to the conductor, and the road will
probably take measures to arrest and pun
ish them. Certainly it is bound to do so.
Summerss regular train south couple of
hours before, and carried on in much the
same style, even, it is said, combining the
conductor in the baggage Car while they
ruled the train. Much indignation is felt
that the homeward- bound excursionists
were not notified what to- expect before
leaving New Haven, that they might have
prepared themselves for resistance. A
somewhat similar but less aggravated af-
fair occurred in the same vicinity on the last
years excursion, and probably people on
the line of the road will have less appetite
for such trips hereafter. They certainly
will unless the railroad officials now carry
war against the roughs. -Sprinqfeld Mass

The total eclipse of the sua occurs on
Monday, the goth instant, and extensive
preparations are being made by professional
astronomers for observations. The Naval
Observatory has also issued a pamphlet for
the convenience and guidance of amateur
astronomers and photographers who propose
to witness and study the event. The eclipse
in this part of the country will only be a
partial one. but on a strip of country in the
far West, one hundred and sjxteen miles in
width, extending over the western end of
Montana, the Yellowstone, Central Park.

The following extract from Hugh NIller's
schools and Schoolmasters" has special
significance at the present time, for it was
fifty years ago when that great man wrote
these words; and gave, as his, that belief
which is now the generally accepted theory
of the earth's creation: 81 can no more re
fuse believing, in opposition to respectable
theologians SUCH as Mr. Granville Penn,
Professor Moses STUART, and Mr.. Eleazar
Lord, that the earth is of an antiquity in
calcubly vast, than | can refuse believing,
in opposition to still more respectable theo-
logians, such as ST. Augustine and Loetan-
thus, that it has antipodes and moves around
the SUP. And further, of this, men such as
Penn, Stuart, and Lord may rest assured,
that what believe in this matter, all theo-
logians, even the weakest, will be content
to believe fifty years hence"

1, terrible scene was witnessed at pic
mic in Winchester, Ill, a few days ago.
The tables had been spread, the banquet
prepared, the coffee steaming and all hands
were gloating over the prospect Of a boun-
tiful repast, when suddenly a horde of
tramps burst out of the bushes, seized upon
the viands, bolted the lunch and drained the
coffee pot before the agonized gaze of the
picnickers. The tramps dined very heartily
and marched off in triumph, leaving their
hosts to such reveries as empty stomache
might inspire.

The circular which was sent out by the
Treasury Department, about the middle of
last week to the banks, notifying them that
they could be supplied with silver dollars
upon application to the department, has al
ready resulted in calls, chiefly from the
Eastern States, for about quarter of a
million dollars. When it is considered that
the circulars have only reached portion of
the banks as yet, the above fact leads to the
belief that considerable amount Of these

back man is in the Republican party. 1t
created the greenback, and has maintained
and defended it against the attacks of Reb-
els, Repudiationists and Democrats. Un-
der the wise and fostering policy of the
Republican party, the greenback has ap-
preciated to within fraction Of parity with
gold, and it is the intention of the party to
make it fully equal to gold and keep it
there. The Democratic party has always
fought greenbacks, and would degrade them
now if they had the power.

Miss Sarah M. Peale, the artist, who has
resided for over thirty years in st. Louis
will make her future home in Philadelphia.
She has painted portraits of many distin
guished men, including Caleb Gushing,
Thomas H. Benton, Daniel Webster, Dix
on H. Lewis, .'the fat member from Ala
bama," General Rosccranz, and others.
Many pleasing anecdotes are told by her
concerning her distinguished sitters.-
Among others this one about Caleb Cusb-
ing: 'He appeared to her to be exceedingly
vain and provoking while sitting for his por
trait. He was rough, indeed, till after the
second sitting. He was SO affected and
cranky that she was sorry she undertook
him. He was very particular about the
color of the dress. He wore stock on
his neck, then the fashion, and wanted to
know what color it was going to be, and
being told lavender he said, in his poster
ing way, that might be the color of bird
OR anything. Not only the color but the
materials Of which 1t was composed had to
be explained to him. When the picture
was finished he was called in, and after
scanning it for time broke out affectedIy:
Madame, you have made it too handsome!'
sAh, but not SO handsome as the origina'T
was the quick reply. This captured the
proud Senator and he Immediately paid
down the money-$60-and bore away the
picture to his room. He was so pleased
with it that some days after, when Miss
Peale was sitting with crowd of ladies in
the senate gallery, Mr.. Cushing, seeing her,
left his seat and seeking her out leaned over
and chatted SO long that the fair artist felt
uncomfortable, as the little tete-a-tete at
tracted the attention of the whole Senate. -
