 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Will you kindly allow a representative of the horsekeepers on Wooster street to in . quire, through the columns of your paper, comfort and blessing to our immediate neigh borhood, has indeed proved nuisance? The crushed stones have been pulvsrizeii to the most penetrating dust, the roadway cut up by trucks and teams carrying heavy machiuery and articles of immense weight, until the prophecy of olden time Git seems to us) will soon be fulfilled, that dust we are and unto dust we shall soon return. The lords Of crea- tion, before going to office or shop, first leave their autographs in bold relief on a dusty background upon library drawing room tables, Q mute reminder of what ought CT ought not to be. Excessive watering is said to be prevention. Why, our doctors tell us that so much moisture and shade produce mala- ria. What shall we say when doctors disagree These scrapings and top-dressings now and then are of the shortest duration for good Shall no other street be so improved as to share with us the great benefits of an increas ing traffic? Shall we whose homes are loca ted here, after being heavily taxed for so called improvements, be buried alive in clouds of rock-dust, and always told in tones of disgust, and insinuation, by-that ''clsan Illness is next to godiness?" And one who can keep @ home clean md tidy in Wooster that never-tiring energy and sublime patience which are truly not an outgrowth of life to us who are of this earth, earthly. s. E. P.

had to be abandoned. Indifferent as to the size of the lobster, those of all weights and proportions were consumed. A law WAS then passed in both of these States limiting the sizs of the lobster which could be caught or sold. This limit of size was 1O4 inches, s1- elusive of length of claws or feslers. It was evident that by this means the lobster would have chance to breed, and, in time, be plentiful again. Already, in Maine and Massachusetts this law has produced a certain improvement in the size of the lobster. But dishonest fisher men from these States, finding a markSt in New York, send there those undersized lob sters which they cannot sell at home. These Holsters are not only indifferent food, but are positively unwholesome. What is wanted is that the New York Legislature should frame precisely the same sot of laws for New York as exist in Maine or Massachusetts, and infiict penalty of $5 or $1O on any one exposing for sale Holsters smaller than 1O3 inches. In this way it is thought that a nefarious busi- ness business might be stopped, and large and important industry be protected

A Curious StOrys

After tho taking of Paris by the Versailles troops, Communist officer managed to es cape from the burning city. Having remain ed on the barricades to the last, he had no time to change his clothes, and was conse = oueutly obliged to wander about the whole day in kspi and regimentals, with his sword dangling by his side. Towards evening. how sver he fell in with shepherd, good natured almost to idiocy, and knowing nothing what ever of politics. The two men entered in conversation, and at the end of half an hour the refugee, necessarily haunted by the fear of seeing the gensdarmes make their appear ance, proposed an exchange of costume to the 'syokel." Naturally dazzied by the splendor of the others military garb, the countryman jumped at the offer, never dreaming Of the danger he incurred in donning his compan- ions attire. The exchange was carried out. The two men undressed, and parted. The pseudo-shspherd made for Paris wearing blouse canvas trousers, and straw hat. The real Simon Pure, on the other hand, calmly went on minding his sheep, presenting rath
 CT incongruous aspect with the sword hang ing by his side and the crook in his hand. What might have been naturally expected to happen actually occurred. A patrol came across the unluoky shepherd and asked him for explanations about his costume, and these not being deemed altogether satisfactory, the countryman was taken into custody, and ultimately led of to Setory to go before @ court-martial there. Our readers will, no doubt, remember the admirable passage in the ''Miserables" in which Victor Hugo re- lates the Champmathieu affair. The trial of the shepherd bore great resemblance to this latter. The unfortunate wretch, who had no one to speak word for him, either did not know, or was SO dazed that he could not remember his birthplace, and, in the end, was sentenced to transportation to the He des Pins. Amiot, as the man is named, was accordingly sent, and by August, 1879, he had not bsen pardoned One of his fellow convicts lately wrote to say sthat s'Amiot was awaiting the termination of 8 punishment which he did not understand, and was expi- ating crime which he had no thought of committing" Unluckily he was condemned for life, and whether since pardoneds or not we are ignorant. He may probably be con- sidersd dangerous character. Perhaps his very imbecility is taken for assimilation. Be this as 1t may, his story, while it has undoubt- edly ludiorous side, is at bottom horribly sand and grave, and appears to us calculated to cause reflection to those who insist on the justice of repression ann the necessity for re- fusing an amnesty.

General Grant.

The following extract from the Bridgeport Standard shows the feeling Of a veteran of the Seventeenth regiment, O. V, and of many others in this State:
 The condition of the times demands a man who can speak determined TO to all the evils that threaten the Republic We need that in- dependence Of character that does not fear responsibility.
 We want a man who at o midnight council of war could listen courteously and patiently to the advice of the generals not to make aT, assault, then give them the order to move hi four o'clock In the morning, and soon after wards ask and receive the unconditional sur render" of the enemy's works
 We want ths man who, when the the inf1a- ton bill had passed both houses of Conpress and awaited his signature to become a law, and majority of his Cabinet thought it would be good policy to sign it. said, 'sNo. it isn't right or honest, and vetoed it. Who. when the chairman of the 'ECommittee on Foreign Relations" the lamented Sumner would demand the withdrawal of the English flag from this continent as preliminary to the settlement of the Alabama claims said, 'sNol we have had war enough" and then settled those claims by peaceful arbitration at Gene va.
 We want the man who stood up in San Francisco and told Dennis Kearney, the lead CT Of the great communistic mob which con- troleo the nunlclpal government and courts of that city, that he would neither receive hlol nor recognize his party.
 Fifteen years ago the commanding general of tho armies of the Union rode long and weary miles over muddy roads, jumped down from his horse and appeared, in plain fatigue uniform spattered with mud, before General Lee to receive the surrender of the armies of the rebellion. The rebel chieftain received him in new and brilliant full dress uniform worn that day for the first time. The surren- der was made, and the war was over, but even iu that supreme moment he forgot to ask Lee for his sword, and having issued an order to supply rations to the surrendered but starving army, rode away, not as a conqueror into Rich mond, but straight to Washington, to stop the further war expenditures of the Government The people to-day demand sas President the naau who thought as little of the gilded pa geantry of war as he does of the pomp and circumstance of civil office. They want that plain, unassumiug, determined, level-heeded man, Ulysses s. Grant.
 There he stands his character fixed in the minds and hearts of 8 people with whom nothing succeeds like success" the peer of Washington and Lincoln in patriotism a mil itary leader without precedent in this or any other country (for he was never defeated in battle) known of all men clear cut, dis tinct in outline, with determined honesty in that homely, granite face, and iron will in rugged form expressed.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Republican State convention whicl met in this city yesterday was, as body above the average in ability and character I was convention which did Republicans gooi to look at, and whose appearance made then prouder of their party.
 The action of such convention might be expected to be judicious. and. on the whole, il was. The delegates chosen are all good men, and they will go to Chicago urinstructed, and prepared to uss their votes to the best advan- | tage.
 I The course taken by those who favored Senator Edmunds was both wise and gener- ous. They formed majority of the conven- t1on, and had they not cared more for hsr. nopy and the best interests of the party than for victory their resolution could have been carried.
 Under our system of choosing delegates the Ednunds sentiment did not fnd full expres- sion. Had it done so there would probably have been eight delegates with . present preference for Ednunds. As it is, there are certainly four, and perhaps one or two more. The delegation is decidedly mixed one. Mr. Blaine has probably five support
 
 change their preference until they gre obliged to.
 One of the most interesting parts of the proceedings was the testing of the feeling towards the prominent candidates for the Presidential nomination, which was vsry skill fully done by the chairman, Hon. Amos s. Treat, in his speech on taking the chair. The reception of his elegant reference to Senator Edmupds was a sufficient indication Of the opinion of the majority of the convention.
 There is one aot of tho convention with which we find fault, and that is it's treat ment of the request of the Republicans of New Haven that they and the Republicans of other large towns be allowed moro equit- able representation in State conventions. The request WAS reasonable one and should have been met in @ more reasonable way. Those who so promptly and indefinitely post poned the matter would not, we suppose, pretend that ths large towns are fairly repre- sented Why not, then, give them their rights
 The spirit which animated the convention found expression iu the resoiution-''That this convention pledges itself, and the con stituency which it represents to hearty, vigor- ous aud loyal support of the nominee of the Republican National convention at Chicago The enthusiasm with which this was adopted augured well for the success of tho party in this State next fall.

The court holds that to deprive householder of light and air in his dwelling is to invade his property, and no rights of the elevated railroads can shield them from claims for damages to private proper ".

There is an Ednunds boom in Worcester, Mass, and no mistake. The thirty-two del eRates to the Stat. convention eleec ed there Tuesday evening, and the same number of delegates to the district convention, were all, without exception, chosen with the belief that they are favorable to the nomination of MT. Edmunds. In every ward, ex- cept ward four, a vote of the caucus in some form, either by ballot or by resolu- tion, expressed the sense of the meeting in favor of MT. Edmunds' candidacy, and in the ward four caucus there was no difference of opinion, and the unauimity in favor of Ed munds was SO manifest that 8 vote was thought superhuous formslity. This is very remarkable result, equally honorable to the candidate and to ths city which gives him its united and earnest support. It is city where political opinion is as free as it is any where, and es exacting in it's demands for un- furnished character and distinguished ability in it's candidate. The Spy ascribes this action to the "msre force of intelligent public opin- ion"
