STANTON AND LINCOLN. Stanton was
peculiar mana man of iron will, and
one who never smiled He had a son, a
bright and promising fellow; and, when
Stanton died, he left the lad nothing,
absolutely nothing, ont of his ample for
tune, not even book from his splendid
library, but ordered in his will that every
volume be gathered up and sold. The
son obeyed the fathers instruction to the
letter He is now dead. Stanton was
man of resources, of great executive abl-
ity, and could hardly have been spared
from the War Department. He was very
unpopular, and, in fact, it may be said
that he was hated He was morosc and
uncivil, though the speaker did not
think he intended to be. He was never
well, and that, of course, accounted for a
great many of his actions. He never
engaged in free and easy conversation.
He was an accomplished lawyer, and had
the faculty of expressing his views and
opinions with precision and force rarely
equalled. The written requests of Mr..
Lincoln he would sometimes, after read
ing, rend to pieces and throw them on
the floor in the face of the bearer, and
then rudely deny the request. OF course,
his conduct would be promptly reported
to Lincoln, who would reply; "Well,
you see | have not got much influence
with this administration, but | expect to
have more with the next" The fact
fact was, there was an understanding be-
tween them that Stanton should refuse if
granting the request was detrimental to
the service.

New York, May 29.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Graphic says:
A st.. Louis gentleman named Hinton K.
Helper has bill before Congress, pro-
viding for the appointment Of commits
sioner to 60 to Central and South Amer
lea and inquire into the commercial
condition of certain States, with view
to building railroad to reach them.
Belford, Of Colorado, introduced the bill
This is a small beginning for a tremen-
dous project which Helper hopes to see
carried through within ten years. He
hopes to utilize the information obtained
by commissioner for the construction of
railroad beginning at the boundary Of
Guatemala and the Gulf Of Mexico, to
continue southeast through Central Amer
lea, through Columbia, Ecuador, Bolivia,
Peru, and into the Argentine Republic,
passing along the eastern slope of the
Andes. He would thus connect with
Mexican system of railroads, now in pro-
cess of construction, and thence to the
United States, making direct line of
railway from st. Paul to the boundary
of Patagonia, some s, 200 miles in length.
Helper claims that this is the only way
to solve the problem of the balance Of
trade with South America, now largely
against us. For the year 1880 the bal
ance against the Uuited States was SIG
100000. The protector thinks that,
from the manner in which the Pacific
railroads have diverted trade from the
Isthmus, this line would take the COM
merce now carried in English ships, and
this question of commercial domination
in South America would be settled. The
bill has been referred to the Committee
on Foreign Affairs.

The late fire at Tombstone was the act
of Divine Providence. The Lord be-
came angered at the wickedness OF the
people who dwell there, and who recently
held mass-meeting announcing that
the men who committed murder and
robbery were their best citizens, and that
the President Of the United States had
no right TO issue proclamation warning
those good citizens to cease committing
crime. Such community as that ought
to be destroyed by fire.

Governor Crittcndcn has all the out
laws in Missouri badly frightened by his
persistent determination to rid that State
of organized gangs of robbers within its
borders. Frank James appears anxious
to deliver himself up to the authorities if
the Governor will pardon him, but the
Executive, by his action, it would appear
had not considered the matter. With
such 4 man as Frank James, the best
plan would be to catch and hang him,
and after he is planted beneath the cold,
cold sod, then is proper time for the
Governor to consider the pardoning of
James for the crimes he has committed.

could be applied TO the eggs they would
hatch in a day or two, she thereupon
placed the eggs next her bosom, keeping
them covered with thick wooden cloth.
AT night she kept the eggs beside her In

FAIRFIELD, Nov. 4.
The long looked for steamer has arrived az
last and a sense of security pervades oar vii
lage.. Year after year the younger men of the
corporation have beer working to secure vote
to purchase a steam fire engine, but with two
hand machines. the older one thought this
desire but wild fancy and so annually they
have doubted the vote and secured its defeat.
The fire in July which 50 quickly consumed
over hundred thousand dollars worth of mill
property stirred the cluggish blood of even the
most conservative and after the town was
stolen they voted to lock the stables. BY direc-
tion of the corporation the village assessors
visited several places and carefully examined
the merits of all the leading steamers until
finally they decided to purchase an Amoskesg
which arrived Wednesday night A company
OF thirty had been selected from the business
men Of the village and thorough organiza-
tion completed so that Friday they were in
readiness to test the engine to the satisfaction
of all. The seversst test was forcing the water
through fifteen hundred feet of hose, with q
rise of seventy-fve feet from end of suction
hose to where the pipemen stood, and then
the Kennebec Framing Compsny's mill.
The location of our village aud the water
front, will enable US to reach fire in almost
any locality and secnre the water supply from
the Kennebec, so that another large conflagra-
tion is hardly possible.
The mills which ara being constructed are
and will be an ornament to the town. 0nly
one of them is in operation-that of e. Tolman
& Sons-but the others will be in readiness for
the spring opening and perhaps for some win
ter saving. The manufactures are all in
operation and though the buildings are no
larger than the old ones, the improvements in
machinery viii largely increase the business of
each firm. In few years, II fortune smiles
upon the energetic men who represent The
different firms the business of the town will be
increased and all be gamers by the past season

very delicate frying material. Here was formerly
the situation in the kitchen over the lrying pan:
You cou take lard which not cheap and
fused up very fast; you had butter, which, besides
being expensive required a skilful cook to keep it
from burning; or you could use salad oil. which
though costing alarmingly to begin with, required
so little to do ths work that the cooking school
would tell you it like the widows cruise it did
not seem to lose perceptbly; after frying fifty oys

The Great Suit Against the Mu-
tual Union Company
AND THE FIRM OF JOHN q. MOORE g.
co.

NEW YORK, Nov. Ga suit was brought to-
day by VIM. Hendrey Cameron, share holder
of the Mutual Union Telegraph Co., against
John G. Moore, Thomas O. Purdy, George f.
Baker, George w. Ballou, Charles f. Peck
and others, and the Mutual Union Co. The
complaint recites that the above mentioned
persons are the directors of the company; that
the company originally contracted with the
firm of John G. Moore & Co., which now con-
sists avowedly of John G. Moore and Thomas
@. Purdy, aud of which the other persons men
toned above were secret partners for the con-
struction and equipment of the lines of the
company; that the compensation of the firm for
performance of this contract was to be four
teen million dollars, payable in the securities
OF the company; that defendants constituting
controlling majority of the directors of the
Telegraph Company, and also in composing
the firm of Moore 81 Co. in said double capaci-
ty, and in fraud of the rights of the company
aud in disregard of the interests of the plaintiff
and other individual shareholders, subsequent
ly agreed between themselves to modify the
before mentioned contract for construction, &c.
so as to relieve themselves from certain oblla-
tlons; that the compensation to the firm was
grossly in excess of the values received by the
company which did not exceed SO 000, 900; that
the capital shares and some of the bonds were
issued and delivered by directors to said firm
fraudulently; that the bonds so issued and sold
.relized for defendants $3,000000, and that the
entire issue of $9,000000 capital shares was
without consideration or value to the
company, and finally that the plain
tiff and other shareholders are unable
to obtain remedy, owing to the majority of the
directors being members of the firm, where
fore plaintiff demand the agreement modifying
the original contract be declared fraudulent,
null and void. The defendants account to the
company for their actual expenses and real
profits under the contract, and that the profits
be paid over TO the company, that the finn be
required to perform the original contract, and
that the firm also account TO the company for
the issue and proceeds of capital shares, and
pay the difference between the actual value
received for such shares and the nominal par
value thereof.
