BrideeDort Ronrd of Trade

At the Bridgeport Board of Trade banquet on Thursday night MT. J. B. Sargent, of this city, was one of the speakers. The Farmer says: MT. J. B. Sargent, of New Haven, one of the largest manufacturers of that city, delivered modest and graceful little speech, representing New Haven and the Chamber of Commerce. On account of the age of both institutions he talked to the Board of Trade as father to his child, and prophesied good humoredly that some day Bridgeport would be quito good, sized suburb of New Haven. In concluding he remarked that the Board of Trade was certainly precocious and thriving infant, and exclaimed heartily: "Bless you, my boy!" Three cheers for New Haven were given with will by the com pauy.

Professor Hibbard's readings are always great attraction. He has host of admirers in New Haven, and on Monday evening among other selections he will read from Shakespeare.

 UNCLE SAM.
 The comic opera "Uncle Sam," was given at Carlrs last evening under circumstances that made fun for the audience but trouble for the performers. A disagreement some way in regard to the orchestra necessitated 8 new conductor and consequently there was 8 general disagreement between him and the singers. Adding to this want of drill and practice. the performance, which under oth- CT circumstances-particu by the young doctors, the dudes and the cigarette chorus might have been very pleasing, was decided ly farcical. Miss Amy Gordon sang very well and parts of the music were very pretty. This afternoon and evening the performance will be repeated and will doubtless give more satisfaction if less amusing.

The next attempt at rescue was made as follows: Find ing as stated that the small boat had kept on to the Branford shore the steam tug Ives was turned about again and headed for this city, to make another brave effort in behalf of the man in the rigging. It was cold work. The wind was blowing 8 gale and ice formed rapidly and the men were benumbed with cold. But in the inter- est of suffering humanity no effort was spared. The tug returned to this city, a distance of six or seven miles. At the end of Belle dock lay the large schooner Emma F.
 Angen, Captain TTipp. of Taunton, Mass, the vessel which brought ] 1902 tons of coal for the New York railroad. Captain Tripp at once volunteered one of his large yawl boats, and his mate, Ed ward Smsed, and part of the crew Volun- teered to go and assist, relieving some or the men on the Ives The crew now consisted of part of she AngelI's crew and part of the men belonging to the tug. They arrived at the schooner at about halt-past four o'clock. The man was still in the rigging
 Four men volunteered to go to the wreck in the yawl boat. The man in the rigging was about fifteen feet from the deck, which was sheet of ice and the side of the vessel out of water was ice-coated. The rigging was a column of ice. The old man dare not jump, and it was apparent that for him to jump would be death. He could not, being old and stiff and half frozen, climb up the rigging and climb down to 8 convenient point to drop of into the boat as the younger sailors had done The men in the boat threw life lines to him, but to no avail. They talked with him and encouraged him. He said he knew they could do no ~more that they were doing all they could.
 He asked them to stay by him. They told him they would stay by as long as they conld. They rowed around on the lee side, but could not approach on the other side. They were too benumbed and frostbitten. At last with Q parting word, exhausted, they gave it up and rowed to Morgsn's Cove, near Morgan's Point, six miles from the city, and went ashore. Here from the neiehbors they got dry clothes and sat by the fire till warmed, contemplating making another effort if the wind should abate.

ORIGIN OF THE TERM 4HoosIER.~

VI AAON1HoAAAAh.
A story is told by some of the old residents
of the state to the effect that the word was
first applied to Indianans about the time
when Madison was the centre of large pork
trade, and the farmers for a hundred miles
around would drive their hogs there in great
droves. The peculiar noise that they kept up
in driving their swine-sounded something
like hoo-ie hoo-ie hoo-ie led to their be-
ing called, by corruption of the sound,
'.Hoosiers." The story, if true, would make
the origin of the word comparatively recent,
and it cannot be accepted with credence for
the reason that the balmy porkopoly days of
Madison were long after the Hoosiers had be-
come known.
The first that is known of the word appear
ing in print was in 1880, when Finley the
Wayne county poet, wrote New Years poem
for the Journal entitled "A Hoosiers Nest"
in which description of the pioneer cabin
in Indiana is given. The poem, in the light
of one of the traditional stories, gives some
word came intouse. The first few lines read:
I'm told in riding somewhere West

Was on the borders of q prairie;
And. fearing he might be benighted,
He hailed the house and then alighted.
Fhe Hoosier met him at the door,
Their salutations soon were DER.
1t was the custom among the early pioneers
in Indiana in travelling through the country to
hail cabin by calling out who lives here %
and "Whos here?o About the time of the
treaty of peace with the Indians, in 1918, and
when the state was very sparsely settled,
travel was attended by great dangers, and no
man ever rode away from home without his
rifle. AS common precaution of safety,
when traveller saw in the distance the smoke
from camp or cabin fire, he would call out
upon coming within hearing distance, who's
here 2" and from the response he would know
if he was among friends From corruption
of this form of salutation the people of Indi-
ana were called Hoosiers. Doubtless, settlers,
in writing back to friends at their old homes,
would say that they ''were here among the

WOODEN UNDERCLOTHING.

Among the many means by which we seek
to guard ourselves from the effects of chill
there is one which hardly, even now, receives
clothing. The majority of persons of the
male sex do, indeed show their appreciation
of its wholesome qualities but there remains
a considerable moiety of these, and a far
greater number of women and children, who
prefer an undersuit of smooth but relatively
meager linen. Yet the superior advantages
of wearing wool next the skin are easily APP
parent on reflection. They do not depend
merely on its greater warmth and closeness of
application. 1t is further capable, according
to its texture and in virtue of its composition
of better adaptation in respect of temperature
to the needs of various climates and the
changes of seasons than any other dress ma
terial. Moreover, whether it be fine or rough,
dense or light, wooden clothing, it is evident,
exhibits special facility for absorbing and
distributing moisture. 1t is this property es-
pecially which renders it the natural covering
of the constantly perspiring skin. If one be
engaged, for example, in active exercise of
limb, linen fabric will absorb what products
of transudation it can till it is wet but will
leave much moisture unabsorbed upon the
clammy surface, whereas flannel, from its
more spongy nature, will rest upon a skin
which it has nearly dried and be but damp it
self. 1t is obvious, then, that in the event of
an after chill, and this occurs in summer as
in winter, the body is, in the latter case,
most favorably disposed to resist it. Flannel
is not less clearly than linen, though it may
appear less white; and if the wearer bathes
daily it is surprising how long it will retain
its purity The disadvantage of skin irrita-
ton to which it sometimes gives rise is usual
ly associated with coarseness of quality or
freshness of manufacture, and is with nearly
all who have experienced it, merely tran
sient condition. Women as well as men, we
repeat, but above all, children and the aged,
who are alike particularly apt to take cold,
should certainly adopt wooden material for
their customary under-garment 1t is easily
possible to adjust the texture to the season,
so that it shall be warm enough in winter,
and not too warm in summer

The School Superintendent Question.
The following letter, which appeared in last
weeks Sunbeam, attracted such general at
tention that we publish it entire:
SALEM, N. j., July 81, 1884.
Mr.. EDITOR In the National Standard
of July 2, 1884, find an insinuation in re-
gard to my present position as a candidate for
county superintendent. They have no doubt
willingly put before the public the fact that
was one who had recommended r. Henry
Holme to be re-appointed to the Office of
county superintendent of public schools, and
then to become an opposition candidate for
the position. This think calls for an expla-
nation from me and will state that when
was solicited to recommend Mr.. Holme it was
on the ground that [ believed the Office should
be non- partisan office, and this think every
good citizen believes should be SO. With
this idea I subscribed my name.
At that time I had not heard Mr. Holme
charged with being one of three to go to the
ballot-box, after an election had been held,
as to give the Republican candidate one ma
jority.
l did not know at that time that Mr. Holme
had offered person $40 to make affidavit
that he knew of cases of bribery at an cleo
ton in the township of Elsinboro.
| did not know that the same Mr.. Holme
had gone to the owner of a farm in the town.
ship of Elsinboro and requested said owner
err was entirely satisfied, because of his polit-
ical sentiments
| did lot know at the time that the said
Henry Holme had gone into the adjoining
township of Elsinboro during the last cleo
ton to do extraordinary political duties to de-
feat the party under whom he had received
his appointment and confirmation
After hearing SO much against one who had
no call to mix in political squabbles and who
was then holding a non-partisan Office, can
only regret like many another Democrat who
recommended him that l had subscribed nv
name to recommend any one who would
stoop to do such political work
Yours, &c. w. r. CAsPERsoN
County Superintendent Holmes reply,
which has been addressed to the editor of the
SUNBEAM, in which paper the charges were
made, is as follows
SALEM, N. j., 7th month 7th
