"Gath."


 One of the busiest men of those convention days was George Alfred Townsend, the prose Home of our contemporary politics Gath" as he is equally well known, is a rather stout gentleman of Maryland birth and New York residence. He has a shy turn, odd as that may seem in professional inter viewer, and that comes from his poetic tenn perament, which has endowed him with Q nice sense of language, and gift for the use of words in quaint senses He has cool, clear, gray eyes, fine brown hair, indicating sensitiveness, brown mustache, 8 round, affectionate chin and great perceptive bumps over the eyes. His nose is broad, indicating cogitation and reflection. In conversation Gath is slow of speech, but interests his au- ditor by his epigrammatic and pungent way of putting things. He interviews in all walk ing moments, even on the cars travelling, and, like Sir Walter Scott, finds no man so hum ble from whom he cannot gather useful knowledge. Gath is poet and has recently published verses in his ''Tales of the Chesa- peake" which have brought out the warm praise of Longfellow. Some of those tales are worthy of Hawthorne of Edgar Poe. Mir. Townsend was told by Senator Stevenson, the Cincinnati convention president, that he ought, as specially qualified man, to write some American historical novels. Gtah tells me that he has novel in course of prepara- ton, and he censures Howells and Aldrich for not seeking their material in the broader life of the American people. MT. Townsend earned enough money in convention work to enable him to take a vacation in Europe, be- sides putting away pretty sum. He wrote for The Chicago Tribune, Cincinnati Enquir- CT, Washington Sunday Herald and Brooklyn Eagle, besides sketching Garfeld's life for The Herald. He used up one stenographer at Chicago and tired out another at Cincin- natl. He believes in the employment of photographers as conducive to fresher itera ry wop@ Mir. Townsend is Q constant daily reader of history and poetry. ''How can a man write, continually pour out, if he never reads to fill up?'' he asks. John Russell Young also says that thei trouble with our younger journalists is that they never read Mir. Townsend has splendid newspaper li- brary vast scrap books, great collection of American biography and of county histor. ies"

Who is Buddha.
From the Burlington Hawkeye.1

lrrOn Ine bur11uBIOH hdHheSe-J
 Did you ever notice, my son, that the man who tells you he cannot believe the Bible is usually able to believe almost anything else? You will find men who turn with horror and utter disbelief of the Bible and joyfully en- brace the teachings of Buddha. It is quite the thing just now, my son, for civilized enlightened man, brought up in Christian country and an age of wisdom, to be Bud dhist. And if yopask six men who profess Buddhism who Buddha was, one of them will tell you he was an Egyptian soothsayer who lived two hundred years before Moses !; another will tell you that he brought letters from Phenicia and introduced them in Greece a third will tell you that she was a beautiful woman of Farther India, bound by her VOWS to perpetual chastity; fourth will, with little hesitation, say he was Brahma of the ninth degree and holy disciple of Confucius and of the other two, one will frankly admit that he doesn't know, and the other will say with some indecision that he was either a dervish of the Nile (whatever that is) or a felo de SC, he can't be positive which. Before you propose to know more than anybody else, my son, be very certain that you are at least abreast of two-thirds o1 your fellow-men. I don't want to suppress any inclination you may have toward genuine free-thought and careful, honest inv estiga tion, my son. I only want you to avoid tho great fault of atheism in this day and genera tion; don't want to see you try to build { six-story house on one-story foundation. Before you criticise, condemn and finally l revise the work of creation, my son, be pretty | confident that you know somethink about i
 as it is, and don't, as a man older in year
 and experience than yourself, don't, let m 1 implore you, don't turn this world upsid
 down and sit on it and fatten it entirely out
 until you have made or secured another on' for the rest of us to live in while you demol 1 ish the old one.

Not alone in the woods, but take stroll in the meadows, with one who keeps his eyes and ears open, and learn the birds there.

Climb the stone wall and sit down under the orchard boughs and watch. Here we see orioles, king birds, cherry-birds, phoebes, golden-winged wood peckers, chipping -sparroys, cuckoos, blue Birds, and the swift swallow, all active and full of business, hunting down and killing the caterpillar, destroying the curculios and the new-laid eggs of the army worm moth, carrying devastation into the ranks of the scut worm moth, and proving themselves the best friends of the agrfcu1turist by destroying the many insects injurious to vegetation

 A letter was received at the Colchester post office last week directed to the Rev. Ephraim Little. The interest of the thing is that the Rev.

It was quite in keeping that the letter should have been mailed in Texas, and contains in quiries as to the family of persons living in Colchester from ore hundred to one hundred and fifty years ago.

The Birds of July.

A correspondent of the Worcester (Mass., ) Spy says; ''During this month a careful ob- server ought to find in Worcester County 1OS species of birds. Many of our smaller birds now have broods of young just ready to fly, and seem to be placed in a world of perplexi- ty. Out in the apple tree behind the house is the little hchen-covered nest of a pair of hycatchers. The young have within day or two left the nest, and the old birds hardly know what to do with them. A passer-by throws the parents into an agony of alarm
 They futter and chirp and refuse to be qui- ct until the stranger is out of sight. There is continually some cause for fear now cat prowls through the grass, and now a stray cow-blackbird, whose taste for young fly catchers is specially developed, flies, so that the poor fycatchers will not be at rest until their young are strong enough to fly and wise enough to be timid. Go into the woods anywhere and you will find the birds busted about their young, collecting their food and teaching them how to fly. Initiate the cry of a wounded bird by making a screeching noise with your lips against the back of your hand and you will soon be surrounded by eager throngs of birds, and anxious to see if any of their little ones have fallen into your clutches. Go into the pine groves, remain quiet for while and you will see restless lit tie chicKadees black-throated green warblers,
 black and white creepers, red-eyed vireos. Wilson's thrushes, bluejays, and others less common. Pass from the grove into a field covered with & young growth of alders and birches, and bordered by a swamp, and you will find very different display of bird life.
 Here will be found the Maryland yellow throat, and with him will come the song- sparrow, the brown thrush the chewink, tEe cat-b bird, the red-winged blackbird, the sum- mer yellow warbler, and the indigo-bird. Our mixed woods of chestnut, oak, maple, pine,
 birch are rich in bird life. Listen for the slightest rustic in the leaves, watch for the swaying of twig, for these slight signs re- veal the presence of some modest songster whose delicate beauty surpasses that of the richest fabrics, and whose graceful move ments charm the fortunate observer who can find and see our birds at home. The first bird to attract attention will be the chestnut sided warbler. with his pretty yellow cap and chestnut sides and, somewhere in these woods, you will not fail to see warbling vi- reos, wood pewees, blue yellow backed war blers, red starts, oven birds, and doWny wood peckers. By rare good fortune you may catch glimpse of rose-brsasted grosbeak,

A Compliment for .sBob Ingerso1.' ;

An infidel colonel of volunteers named Robert Ingersoll is making the warm wealth CT in New York much warmer by delivering a series of Sunday evening lectures at a thea Ire in which religion is ridiculed and attack ed with scarcely any limit of epithet and i'm agery. The gallant colonel boasts that he has defed the Almighty for years and has never been harmed by him. This reminds me of the reply made at the Savage Club by an ex-clergyman named Barton to poor Tom Robertson, who was indulging in a somewhat similar style of idle talk. ''You forget, Tom, J said Barton, ''that the Almighty is incapable of infinite contempt as well as of infinite jus tice."

Wei Do Meyers Treatise on Caearrh' explains the following important facts
 l. That Catarrhal Colds become po1- sonous infection, at first ioeai' anu hnahs constitutional. g. That, being Constitutional, the infection IS beyond tho reach of mere local remeolcs' 3. That impurities in the nostrlis. are necessarily swallowed into the stomacn anu inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinary organs. 4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu- cous membrane and causes Deafness, Dyspepsla' Chronic Diarrhoea, Bronchitis, Leueorrnea' and Consumption.
 5. That Smokes, Douches, Limitations and Insoluble Snufs. cannot possibly remove infectious inflammation from the organs named. 6. That an antidote for Catarrh must pos sess an inoculative affinity for, and the quality of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous wherever located.
 Based upon these plain theories, Dr, Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved to be infallible. It not only relieves, It cures Catarrh at any stage. Home testimony; Cured ! Cured ] Cured ! Cured ]! W. ?, wooDs, 4s7 Broadway, NY, Cured of Chronic
