Hon. G. q. Williams has written
an interesting letter to the James
Vile Recorder, from Hastings, d. IT,,
in which he gives an encouraging
description of the country and crops.
In his letter he makes this state
ment:
Il believe it is the Inherent light Of the
American citizen to lay for and labor for a
government position or clcrkship, but when
think Of the pleading letters which Members
of Congress dialy receive, asking for "only
anything that will enable me to live" | would
sooner walk to the "Jim" River Valley, work
on farm, make a presumption, file tree
claim and rely on matrmony as a final pan.

uncertainties of government employ,

IT has been good advertisement
for DIR. Bliss and his associates, who
have had in hand the case Of Presi-
dent Garfield since he was shot.
OF course it would be "unprofeseion-
al" if it did not create q good deal
of jealousy all over the country.
But the people will not care snap
about their little heaft-burnings, if
the doctors will only save the life
of our excellent Chief Magistrate.

VICE, misery and degradation of
womanhood are not only seen in
their strongest colors in the larger
cities. There want drives in
nocence to crime, and rom crime to
the police court, and thence to pris-
on, to be discharged again only to
travel the same road. Last Monday,
according to the New Cork Telegram,
there were eighty women, all past
the meridian of life, huddled to-
gether in "The Shanty" of the
Toombs. They were all filthy in the
extreme and indignant with the law,
which had literally taken them out
of the gutter. They rallied at the
Bench, swore at the Bar, applied
choice epithets to the officers who
had arrested and threatened every
body with a vengeance as misty and
indetinate as the fates in store for
themselves. They all bore traces
of debauchery, and in the dozens
that reclined abont the place not
one could be found with one redeem
ing external characteristic. Most of
them were maualin and repulsive ;
some Of them were old and decrepit.
That woman could fall so low and
become so repulsive in this country
of freedom and in this age of civil
ization, with all its Outstanding in
fluences, would seem impossible but
that it is true. II there are any
heather in the world more worthy
of missionary effort than these fe-
male dregs of city society, their res
dence is not known. The Booria-
boola- Cha for Christian effort is not
across the water so long as nothing
is done for the criminally miserable
untortunates at home.

To the troubles and aunoyances of
the farmers there is no end. The
latest grievance to which he has
been subjected in some localities in
Central Illinois is an eye-disease
among the COWS which causes com.
plete blindness. 1t is reported that
at least two thirds of the cows in
the vicinity of Lincoln, in Logan
county, have recently become stone
blind. We hear that the same dis
ease is prevalent in other places.

The condition of the President,
as shown by the very latest reports,
is anything but encouraging. His
pulse at midday on Wednesday was
ITO, and the surgeons are somewhat
uneasy. The fever hao not receded
as fast as they had hoped, but the
doctors still say they count on re-
covery. At noon on Wednesday he
signed an important public docu-
ment, to which his signature was in
dispensable, with a firm, clear hand.

Land League Meeting.


 Much Interest Manifested--A Delegate to
 Be Sent to the Buffalo Convention.
 A meeting of the Central Land League club was held in Gael Hall last even ing. There was a good attendance and there was much earnestness exhibited in the cause so near and dear to the Hearts of Irishmen in all parts of the world Captain Lawrence O'Brien occupied the chair.
 Several new members were received, who paid their entrance fee, thereby adding to the funds of the club, which will..go to swell the amount to be devoted to the fund in aid of the Irish Land League and those who are now being prosecuted by the British government in Ireland for the part they have taken in this movement.
 The committee in Westville was requested to call meeting for next Friday evening for the purpose of forming club in that local ity. At that time prominent persons inter ested in the cause from this city will be present and address the meeting.
 A committee was appointed to wait on Father Mulholland and request his co-opera- tion in forming a branch league in St. Francis parish.
 The matter of sending a delegate to the National Land League convention at Buffalo was discussed. Some favored sending a delegate from this club, while others favored delay until all the parish league clubs were organized, and then that they all unite in sending one delegate to represent all the clubs. A motion to send delegate from the Central club was lost.
 It was voted that the Central club notify the members of the branch or parish leaguers to meet in Clan-na-Gael Hall next Friday evening to elect delegate delegates to the Buffalo convention.
 Addresses were made by prominent mem- bers of the League and also by repre- sentatives of the press.

 Year by year the business of our Patent Office increases in volume, and in a similar ratio the difficulty experienced by inventors in securing for themselves the full benefits of the products of fertile brain This is not due to red tapism in tbe department, but to lack of informstnT,re patestahilitE, ,- ,<,spN 5dalms obstacles, such ! -1une out an expert in the business is com petent to give. While the United States is the most prolific of all nations in it's invent i've capacity, it is also favored in having many gentlemen of great experience in procuring for inventors the proper recognition of and protection for their inventions. Of these agents no one is better known or more just ly esteemed than MT. R. H. Eddy, of Boston, who for twoscore years has been recognized as one of the most judicious and successful Patent Solicitors in any country. His vast experience in the business, and perfect fa- miliarity with all the details and routine of the Patent Office, render his services particu- larly desirable to all having transactions herewith.

The Fine Arts.

Among the art treasures now on exhibition at Cutters, we notice some new etchings by
 Robert R. Wiseman, Esq. They are
 most perfect and beautiful etchings, doing honor to Connecticut art and to this New Ha-
 ven artist, whose excellence also as painter
 has been acknowledged by connoisseurs and brought to him mary ssss r,i waas,.1.,- crd ,,.o,o;,e,,ca rsfeEe etchings agra - sez " sfiunDef, ~au or familiar scenes, which spe-. cially commend themselves to those in our city who are to the manor born, and as works of art are worthy being coveted by all who have a taste for the beautiful. One of them gives scene the central and important figure of which is the grand, umbrageous, old oak of Double Beach. Under it's ample foliage many of the ladies and gentlemen of watched the sad sea waves; and perhaps crickets and grasshoppers in the velvety turf about may have been less romantic subject of contemplation. Here have no doubt been wooing scenes, and other scenes now welded to the recollection of summer boarders at the Beach, and no doubt Mrs. Einsley, the dispenser of happiness at this summer resort, will be proud to see the old oak thus beautifully commemorated. Another of the etchings represents Lighthouse Point at low tide, with the old and new lights and the Sound in view. This is particularly fine, both in truthfulness and picturesque effect and is scene highly artistic both in selection of view and execution. The Tomlinson bridge is the third. Many years the waves have beaten upon it's cold barnacled stone- work, .and it's tumble down, ancient mariner look it's whole effect, is most finely delineat- ed, together with portion of the water view as seen from point near MT. Wards steam boat office The etching of the old bridge is specially valuable as 8 most capital view of an old landmark which must soon be remem- bered among things that were. A copy should be bought and presented as gift to the Colony Historical society. There are other etchings of animals by the same artist, which show versatility far above the average. The merits of etchings are now fully recognized, and with good reason, as the art is truly au- tographie, being the production of the artist from the inception to the completion. We are glad to learn that Mir. Wiseman's works are being appreciated both at home and abroad We understand that he has etchings at the present exhibition of the Salmagundi club, New York.

sALvINI AS oTHELLo.

The coming of Salvini to New Haven was eagerly awaited by many who had the good fortune to see and hear him when he visited this city before, and a good sized audience was present at Carll's Opera House last even ing It is needless to say that they were deeply impressed by the power and perfec- ton of his acting As the play went on the fact that he was not speaking the same lan- guage as the other characters was quite lost sight of and by the time the terrific closing scene was reached, and "Othello" had mur dered 'sDesdemona, had pierced "Iago' with his sword, had cut his own throat and died with horrible realism, the audience was too deeply moved to stop to think of the words. It was a marvellous impersonation. The supporting company was, as whole, good, and Miss Marie Prescott's Emilia" was strong and artistic performance. The play was handsomely mounted.
