section upon their solemn pledges
that all classes of people should
have their rights under the laws
of the States and the constitution
of the United States, it has seen them
deliberately violate those pledges and
disfranchise an entire race, and has
only protested. It has seen them per-
secute and murder Republicans, and
has only protested. It has seen them
desecrate the ballot-box with open and
unblushing frauds, and coolly and COM
placently defy the National Government
to enforce the statutes protecting the
elections, and it has only protested. It
has seen Democratic Representatives
taking seats to which they were never
elected, by virtue of partisan MAORI
ty, and it has Only protested. And now,
in quick succession, the South has
poured in it's claims demanding COM
pensation for it's effort to destroy the
Government; and has attacked the army
with the intention Of Gripping it, if it
cannot destroy it; has assailed the few
remaining safeguards of the ballot; has
threatened to stop the necessary sup
plies for running the Government; and,
finally, has the effrontery to proclaim
and reafirm the right of secession in
Congre .sional debates. Mr.. Chambers
warning is timely one. It represents
the sentiment of majority of the
Northern people-not alone of Radical
Republicans, but of thousands Of Lib
erals, many of whom have voted with
the Democrats for the sake of concilia-
ton and harmony. The South is tread
ing upon dangerous ground. It mis-
takes the temper Of our people. It may
raise storm if it crowds too closely.

Photographs Taken at Midnight.

The account OF the successful trial. or
rather use, of the Brush electric light at
the thread mills of the Willimantic
Company is still, no doubt, remem-
bered by the readers of the CoatrG9at.
The great mule room," about $40 feet
long, is made as light with four of the
electric burners as it was by nearly 100
gas burners. It was mentioned at the
time of the visit to Willimantlc that the
electric light is similar to sunlight and
that in it's rays the fine distinctions in
the shades Of color are as truly made as
in the day time. A further illustration
of this identity between the electric and
the sun lights is furnished by the enter
prise of the managers of the Whitman
tic Company in IA interesting way.
They have sent to this Office photo
graph of the 1winding-room as it APP
peared with the electric lights at work,
and the photograph was taken at mid
night by the electric light, thus proving
that the sun is no longer needed in the
picture business. The photographs,
taken by Isaac White, of this city, are
clear and would be creditable to day
work. Hartford Coa1ra7at. 6,f 49,

Longevity the Result Of Care.

The fact that the late Richard Henry
Dana was regarded as an invalid until
he had reached SO, and yet outived all
his contemporaries, is not SO uncommon
as it appears. The opinion that it is
usually the healthful, robust men who
attain longevity, while it is prevalent, is
not correct. Many of our citizens now
over 70, and likely to last much longer,
are not and never have been vigorous
of body. They have been, on the con-
trary, delicate from childhood, and keep
themselves in active life by prudence
and the excellent care they take of
themselves. Peter Cooper is conspie-
uous example. He was puny at his
birth, and has continued more or less
feeble ever since. Nevertheless, he has
engaged in various enterprises: has
been q most generous benefactor to his
native city; and has just completed his
seth year. The persons who go to their
graves at 40 and 80 have frequently had
any amount of physical stamina, and
have depended on it so entirely as to
neglect all hygienic laws, and disregard
anything like discretion. There is g..
certain arrogance of health which ruins
health by excess of confidence. Men of
this sort are. persuaded they can do and
endure anything and everything, and,
acting on their persuasion, they break
down suddenly and unexpectedly and
slip out of existence The semi-invalid
or, valetudinarian, on the other hand,
seldom incurs any risks. He guards
himself at every point; he sees where
danger is and sedulously avoids it. His
condition has rendered him heedful,
and heedfulness has grown into I'M
changed and Interchangeable habit Ease
of circumstance also contributes greatly
to longevity where a man either has
simple tastes or is judicious in his mode
of living. Adversely to the accepted
notion, poverty is rarely good for any
body; for it entails not only absence
Of comfort, but constant friction and
endless worry. Other things being
equal the rich long survive the indi-
gent Exchange. a,1ss45si

methoi, has cost $40 900 900. To max 9

possible, new apparatus, b-louging ex.

embraces three distinct inv-ntions--one
for obviat,ng the induction. one for
dividing long stretches of cable, and the
third consists of two different instru-
ments for working cables, one printer
and the other an automatic apparatus.
The instrument which divides the long
cables is called "a submarine repeater"

The MAXWELL LAND GRANT AT last,
after over nine years Of ceaseess litiga-
ton, the title to the famous Maxwell
grant, says the Tribune, is settled by the
issuance OF patent therefor, which
allows the grantees all the lands within
the boundaries claimed by them and
amounting to about 100000 acres of
the finest land of Colorado and Nv
Mexico. The whole tract ia about fifty
miles square. the northern boundary b..
ing about five miles south of Trinidad,
and th. western being the Main or
Spanish range OF mountains. Within
the limits of the grant are the noted
Moreno Valley gold mines. as well as
about 700 600 acres OF coal land aud
as much valuable timber. The ground
is the most valuable of all the old
Spanish grants. but has cost its owners
fully as much ss it is worth. At i-as,
$40, 100000. including interest. nave
been expended on it. The title has beer
in constant litigation since 1869, in tht
early days of the .xistencs Of the CON
pany who own it. very bitter feeling
sprang up on the part OF the sqnatters
1t is thought now. however. that th'
title is beyond question that amicabl
arrangements will be made by which th,
lands will bs sold to the squatters OF
satisfactory terms. The history Of tn
land grant from its date in 184l to tn
present time Is full OF interest and woult
