General N. VI. Curtis Defended.

To the Editor OF THE REPUBLICAN,
The Washington Post ofThursday morning has
probably inadvertently been led to speak unkind
and unjust words Of my constituent and friend,
General N. NJ. Curtis. The only complaint made
against General Curtis is that treasurer Of the
committee Of the Republican party of the
State Of New York he received, with
others, contributions for proper party uses
petty sums OF money, voluntarily paid by some
men who happened TO be employees of the United
States, he then being an acting attorney for the
Government In the adjustment OF certain Irrigated
cases. No one has been false enough TO suggest that
General Curtis ever even asked any OF these men
for dollar. This Is the head and front Of his
offending"
THE "Posr" SAYS,
Mr.. N. NJ. Curtis, an attache Of the New York
custom house. has been indicted in the United
States courts for making and collecting political
assessments. As i'll duty bound Mr.. Curtis has
the title OF General which Was probably earned
on the CORY batle-helds of political blackmail.
General Curtis IS no "carpet knight" He is no
wearer of title given by courtesy or won in poll
tics He proved his courage and won his title in
the desperate struggles Of the late war, and his
honorable fame and wounded face should have
protected him from an attack like this. General
Curtis organized and led the first company en-
rolled In the northern section OF the State OF New
York in 1861. This company became portion OF
the famous Sixteenth New York Volunteers. As
captain Of this company he was
WOUNDED IN VIRGINIA IN 1861.
He was soon after promoted TO lieutenant colonel,
and was then made colonel of the One hundred
and forty-second New York Volunteers. Later
he was made brevet brgadier-general and as.
signed to duty as such. After the first attempt to
take Fort Fisher he was one OF those who urged
that 1t could be TAKEN and was, therefore, one of
those sent to participate in the second attack. He
held the rank Of brevet brigadier.general when
he led the charge in the storming of that strong
hold when It was TAKEN Here he lost an eye. and
was left on the field dead. and his obituary was
actually written by the New York correspondents.
After this he was made o brigadier- general, and
was soon made major. general by brevet, and
was assigned TO duty in accordance with his
breyet rank. Anerward he was largely employed
in the dsbandment of the confederate armies at
Richmond, and the establishment OF civil order in
, Virginia. Finally, he commanded the Department

The veteran Tnurow Weed, in a recent letter,
says: General Curtis cannot be falsely accused
malclously arraigned with IMMUNITY. His char

pending the negotiations for u compromise, they

The First Congregational
Church society of Lynn, Mass,
was organized in 1882, and the
25Oth anniversary Of its organize
ton was observed on June 8 with
appropriate exercises. The Bos-
ton Transcript gives some inter-
esting facts regarding the history
of the church. 1t was founded
BY the Rev. Stephen Bachiler,
who arrived in Boston on June s,
1929. The beginning of . seriss

court at Boston Of tie following
order: g
Mr.. Bachiler il required to
forbear exercising his gifts a. .
pastor or teacher publquely in
our Patient, unlesse it be to those
be brought with him, for his con-
tempt of authority, and until
some scsudalss be removed.
Though this injunction was re-
moved in 1888, the troubles
continued At intervals until the
celebrated Hugh Peters, who ar
rived in this country in 1875, was
employed to preach. He return
ed to England in 1871, where be
was executed for treason in 1860.
Mr.. Bachiler proceeded in his
ministrations with his few follow
ers, and the magistrates foabade
his proceeding. Disrsgarding
their injunctions, he was brought
before the court of assistants in
Boston in l646 and discharged,
on engaging to leave the town
within three months. He went
to Ipswic, Yarmouth and Hamp-
ton, and the latter place was ex>
communicated from the Church
in 1886. Mr.. Bachiler died in
London, whittier be had gone in
1851, in the Tooth year Of his
age. The Rev. Samuel Whiting
was installed as pastor of the
Church in 1886. aud it was upon
him, the very learned Samuel
Whiting that Benjamin Thomp-
son, the first native American
poet, wrote poem. His second
wife was Elizabeth St. John, a
sister of Oliver Cromwell. She
is said to have assisted her hus>
band in the preparation of his ser.
mons. Among the pastors who
have occupied the pulpit of this
church were the Rev. jeremiah
Sheppard "a street in Lynn is
called after him), the Rev.. Ma
thaniel Henchman, the Rev. Par
sons Cooke (noted for his love of
controversy, and in more recent
times the Rev. Joseph Cook.
The church has had q trying exis-
tence on a great many occasio ns,
and more than once its life ap-
psared we'll nigh extinct. On
one occasion it had left but eigh.
teen male members, and another
only five male and twenty one
female members. The society
was so embarrassed about 1925
that q parish meeting was held to
consider the matter Of disband-
ment, but the storm, which
brought things to such q crisis,
was safely weathered. The pres
ent membership of the church is
about $50, and the debt of the
society has been paid within q
few years. The coming snniver-
sary exercises will be attended, it
is thought, by clergymen from
all over the country, and the pres.
ent pastor of the church, the
Rev. Walter Barton, will deliver
the historical address.

A good many years ago a scamp
who had recently arrived from
the Bermuda Islands, was sent to
York county, Pa, Jail for some
offence committed against the laws
of the commonwealth. He had
with him q few seeds which he
planted in the rich soil Of the Jail
yard. Before the plant which
sprang from seed reached matur-
.ity he wis discharged, and no one
knew the name or nature of them.
They grew luxuriantly, bearing
fruit Of . large size and unusual
appearance. Az this strange
fruit ripened, ito color changed
from green to q brilliant red, and
became'an object Of wonder aud
admiration to all the inmates of
the Jail. Mrs. Klinefelter. the
lady keeper, cautioned I'LL the
prisoners against eating any of
the fruit, as she was sure it was
poisonous, and besides that, she
had promised the man who plant
ed the seed that she would en-
deavor to preserve specimens of
it for him should he return in
time.
Just when the fruit was fully
matured the Bermuda prisoner
revisited the Jail and asked to zee
Elephant. The request;was granted
he next called for pepper, salt and
vinegar, and to the horror of the
good lady, commenced to eat of
the supposed poisonous fruit with
q relish that astonished the be-
holders. After enjoying the
strange repast, he informed Mrs.
X. that the fruit or vegetable was
the tomato or love apple, and it
would b found wholesome and
nutriteous. 20 :
/ The seed of the remaining To-
inatoes were carefully preserved
add distributed among the friends
and nsighbofs of the lady, and
thus this now popular esculent was
introduced into the ancient and
goodly borough Of York. For
many years thereafter it WAS cul.
tivated a. IN ornament rather
than for table use, but BY degees

TIE City Full Of lsridal Coupies-A Harvest
for Hotel Men and Guides.
Washington Star.
Tho city is full of bridal couples. There
hasn't been for several years such a flood
of newly-wedded bliss poured into the city
at one time, and the capital city may be
said to be wrcathed in smiles. There is
nothing mean about young couple on a
wedding tour. They are happy, and they
want everybody else to be happy. They
must have the best rooms in the hotels,
and as a clerk in uptown hotel told
Star reporter this morning, "There
is not vacant private parlor in our
house." The same is true of other hotels.
These young people have their meals
served il their own rooms, and q i've SO
little trouble that hotel men welcome their
arrival with Joy and their departure with
sighs. Mr.. Willard, Of the Ebbitt, always
presents each bride with handsome bon-
quet, and thus gives the sanction of ap-
proval to the marriage. As a rule they go
sightseeing merely as matter of form, and
when a guide gets young married couple
in tow he has what is technically known
among the fraternity as "soft snap"
The guide, if he has had exerience with
those kind of visitors, worry soon finds a
COuIOSIdOIc ScdI III SOuo QulCC plSCe anu
asks them to wait until he goes for per-
mission to enter a certain room or build
ing. The guide takes his departure, and
knowing that he would not be missed for
five or six hours, embraces tho cpportu-
lity to attend the funeral of a friend or
plays cards with other guides who have
also bridal couples in tow, and
in the latter part Of the day
makes his appearance before his en-
pl0yers, whom no fiEds seated in the
same place, apparently having forgotten
his existence. When he apologies for
the delay he is smilingly told that he was
not very long away, aud SO the sight
seeing is resumed. The bridal couple
scatter happiness around them wherever
they GO, and AZ there are about fcrty
couples now in this city the amount of
happiness that is now being diffused iii the
community can readily be calculated. 1t
has in fact assumed such proportions that
no doubt Mr. Raft will soon designate it
as business, and levy special license
tax.

A TALE FOE TODDLERS.

How Lucy warbled About tho Gen and
How She Was Crushed.
Chicago Tribune.
After Lucy returned from Boarding
Schoolan began Laying Pipe to secure the
Young Man of whom l told you IN my
last number, she cOaxed her Papa to let
her take lessons from a Singing Master,
and pretty soon she could Focalize quite
well, and loved dearly to sit in the Parlor
and Turn Herself Loose on the piano.
Lucy was very partial to Sentimental
songs, and seemed to be Little Gone On
those that had rather sappy titles and the
words to which did not mean anything in
particular. She would hustle around the
Music Stand for awhile, and then Come
To The Surface with a lot of such Truck
rs "Angcl Voices Now Are Calling"
Darling. Kiss My Eyelids Down."
"When the Brown is on the Heather" +"
and SO forth. To hear Lucy singing
"Tread Lightly, for Mother is Sleeping"
while her Mamma was out in tho yard
with her mouth full of ClOthespins was
worth quite a journey, but Lucy never
seemed to think of the Incongruity of such
proceedings. She would Wrestle the
piano every day, while both her Parents
were working hard, and never think that
Idleness is the Mother Of Matinecs and
that the Singing Girl Gathers No Boss.
One beautiful summer evening she was
Having Her Hoot as usual, and had got
far enough into the pile of music SO that
sho was singing Sentimental songs. Fl
nally she started in on one that begins {:
81 am Sitting in the Glen,' when sud-
denly her Papa, turned to his Wife and
said How much do you think it would
cost, mother. to mOvo q fair sized glen
about nine miles, and fix things SO that it
couldn't come back ?"
Then Lucy began to cry and said that
her Papa was Brute.
