After dinner, an address on the geologi-
cal structure of the Connecticut valley
was delivered by Mr.. Kimball, which was
intensely interesting to the very intellig ant
company of ladies and gentlemen there
assembled; after which lecture on the
peculiar botanic characteristics of the
valley was also given. Mr.. Joshee the
Hindoo Brhaman, also made a few remarks
thanking the party for their hospitable
courtesy and then spoke on the subject of
Evolution, as believed by learned Hindoos
The party returned on the five o'clock train.
Hartford seems to display no concern for
the great political strife across the water.
What can the matter be? Where are all the
patriots that love Ireland so ardently on
great occasions, and especially on the eve of
American elections? And where are the
quiet but staunch workers among the socie-
ties who love it all the time? Gladstone
and Parnell want money to keep down the
corruption of the enemies of freedom, and
there are u great many loose dollars around
that can be easily influenced into one COM
mon "pot" that will boil for liberty. Sars-
! fields set the ball rolling We know of at
least one crisp dollar itching to part COM
pany with its owner Swear that the cpl
taph of the immortal Emmett shall be writ
ten, and that human beings shall not ever
die of hunger in the midst of plenty.
The discourse of the Rev. Mr. Kimball at
the Labor Lyceum Sunday evening was the
most thorough and brilliant yet delivered
during the course. 1t was in fact three
lectures in one-Labor, Temperance and
Evolution, yet all leaning on the Labor
question. Questions were asked and dis
cussion followed on the inquiry, "Where
could the thousands of men employed in
the manufacture and sale of intoxicants
e,,l
already closed to thousands of other cit
liens, providing that decree was enforced
closing every saloon and distillery in the
land 81 We intended to publish Mr.. Kim
balls lecture and were promised the man
uscript, but found the gentleman already
off on his vacation on sending for it. Mr..
Joshee, the Hindoo Brhaman, was also
present, and promised to speak this Sunday
evening, if only able to get back from his
intended trip to other cities He will give
an idea of how laborers fare in his far off
country.
The Salvation Army of the State held a
convention here on Wednesday. The local
garrison, which consists of three or four
warriors, male and female, met and escort
ed the whole grand army from Union depot
to the barracks. There regimental bands
consolidated and consisted of a cornet,
drum, and three tambourines. A red flag
was tho standard. Before the engagement
of the day commenced, one of the captains
was captured by a Philistine deputy sheriff
from Winsted on charge Of attempt to
criminally assault a little girl of eleven
years. He was encouraged not to despair,
that the Lord would open his prison cell
and set him free. But evidently the Lord
was not pleased with the conduct of his
erriug chieftain, and permitted him to
remain in durance vile until taken off by
the deputy to Winsted for court martial.
Members of the Salvation Army seem to
he no more impervious to attacks from the
Black Prince than members of other armies
preaching and fighting on the road to sal
Vation.
