Resolved, That this convention declares its unqualified approval of the late republican administra- ton in Arizona, its progressive and beneficial influence upon the ad- vancement of the territory, its freedom from narrow and partisan abuse of power, and the broad and liberal stand taken by it upon all matters of public interest.
 Resolved, That the Republicans of Arizona unreservedly condemn the course pursued by Governor Zulick in attacking the good name and credit of the Territory by continued and studied misrepre- sentations for partisan purposes.
 We charge him with having slandered the citizens of Arizona in official proclamations and with falsely claiming credit for results accomplished without hlS help or instrumentality.
 We charge him with an arbitrary and partisan abuse of power, in his efforts to remove without cause or authority of law able public servants who are faithful to the trusts imposed upon them and who command the respect and confidence of the people of this Territory.
 We charge the administration of Governor Zulick with being narrow and partisan in its ,iforts and purposes, tending to prosti- tute public officials to party schemes in the organization of par ty manipulators at great expense and without beneficial results.
 Resolved, That the Republicans of Arizona commend the action of the appointees of the Republican Administration Tn maintaining their rights to remain III office until the legal expiration of their terms, and approve their steaGfast fealty to the Republican party and ,neir resistance to the arbitra- ry and illegal assumption of pow Az.

 The republican party of the Ter ritory of Arizona, in convention assembled, reahirms its devotion to those grand principles of gov ernment which have elevated our nation to its present exalted posi- ton.
 We renew our fealty to that party which preserved us as a nation, established equality before the law, built up all the great in- dustries which have added wealth to our exchequer and honor to the American name, and maintained the national supremacy on land and sea.
 We point with pride to the record of the republican party, a party which seized the reins of government when the nation was in the throes of political dissolu- ton, which restored the national authority and rebuilt with hercus lean energy the national resouroel and restored the national ese We ..,..;E point With. pride tosthe

It has ap- pointed men to office for political subserviency and removed worthy officials whose records have shed lustre upon the government they so faithfully served. It has insult ed the patriotic feeling of the people by it's action on the pen sion laws and by its systematic efforts to belittle the patriotic ser vices of our soldiers and seamen; it has shown an utter disregard for the wants of the people and by it's vacillating and cowardly policy has failed to provide those laws which the universal voice of the people demands.
 That while the democratic plat form of 1884 landed the soldiers and sailors of the late war, and while said democratic party pro fessed to appreciate those patriotic services, the democratic president elected upon said platform, true to democratic duplicity, has per sistently labored to nullify in practice the patriotic theorles ad vanced in said platform.

But about week before we left, as we were all sitting one evening upon the piazza, the telephone boy came up to Joe to say that Miss Agnes - had just arrived at the oth- CT hotel, and as she could not come to us the next day would Joe and I spend the morning with her.
 noticed that the stony people looked sur prisedly at us as they heard the name-Miss Ages -. She was a warm friend in whose intimate companionship we had spent a Bar Harbor season, but we had never guessed that she was social authority in Boston.
 Next morning at breakfast our neighbors smiled and said good morning, and one of feTed mother some article of food-what could have happened2 we thought. As we left mother settled with her book and knit ting on the piazza said, "Don't thee be too lonely, dear. It shall be thy turn to-mor- row. Agnes shall spend the whole day with thee"-a speech that for some inscrutable reason seemed to be heard with lively inter- est by the Boston ladies seated near. When we came home she related that five friendly advances had been made to her. Would she drive? play chess? listen to 8 reading2 go into the room of the stiffest of the dowagers to look at Fayal work? have a cup of genu- inc Havana chocolate with another dowager?
 Agnes spent the next day with us-our guest pointedly, though she spoke cordially enough to the Boston friends who came ea- gerly forward to greet her. After that civil lties rained upon us, and when we left for Mount Desert the very people who had been most unconscious of eur vicinity begged us to secure rooms for them near us at Bar Har- bor, they followed us and we quite filled Ro- dicks and completed the summer in the most courteous and amicable fashion.
 But would any good qualities of ours ever have been recognized had not Miss Agnes --'s friendship seemed to vouch for our so cial position!

THE NEW SPELLER.

The book publishing firm who think they have not been fairly treated by the New Ha- ven Board of Education have written a let ter to the Register in which they say:
 We have written letter to the Board of Education protesting against their treatment, and claiming that under the circumstances we were entitled to fairer treatment; that their meeting was much earlier than we had reason to expect it would be, and that we had proposed all along, when our book was out, to submit terms that would be entirely satisfactory, and we trusted that they would be convinced that we had, at large expense, done all in our power to carry out our part of the understanding, and that the Board would be disposed to give our book the considera- tion which we understood it was to receive before finally closing the question.
 As we understand the matter, the protest thus made is entirely reasonable. We do not believe that there was any need of changing the speller. But it was decided that it should be changed by the Committee on Schools, who reported in favor of the change last spring. The Board did not ac- cept the report at that time but voted to postpone the matter, with the understanding that the book publishers whose speller is now in the schools should have an opportu- nity to present for inspection a new book which they claimed was superior to any in the market. These publishers think that the Board has not kept faith with them, and many who are familiar with the facts think the Board has ordered a change which.. Twas not necessary, and has not acted for the best interest of the schools in failing to allow fair comDetition

The second degree was much more elaborate and consist ed of dramatic representation of the trial, torments, etc., of Christ. The candidate, who was an apprentice of course, was made to pray, to drink a cup of bitter fluid, to wear a crown of thorns, to hold @ reed in his hand and have cross on his back. He finally took an oath of fealty to the order, was invested with a black, blue and red scarf and instructed in the words, grips and signs of the masters degree. The colers of the scarf were symbolical of charcoal, smoke and fire. The sacred words of the first rank were faith, hope and charity and the second honor, virtue and probity. The apprentices had no pass words. The masters word was ''Fern'' aud the countersign ''Nettle.''
 The records of the grand lodge consisted of two books, the golden and the black. The first contained the laws of the order, while the second was register of all those who had tried, but failed to become members, with minute information concerning them The s'black book" also contained list of all expelled and apostate members, with details of their history
 The laws of the Carbonari are remarkable for their austerity toward those offenses usu- ally considered as mere trihes in the disso- lute society of Naples. Any association with dissolute characters, male or fe- male was punished by suspension, and if repeated by expulsion An attempt upon the honor of female member of the family of Carbonari was punished by expulsion. Even to attempt the virtue of female servant of Carbonari was punished by suspension for two years.

Miss Philadelphia in the Providence Journall
 Did it ever befall you to be thoroughly snubbed by any Boston first family folks
 I am sure you remember my young girl ish veneration for everything connected with Boston. I was but a Quaker Kitty Ellison. For years everything fostered my worship. Delightful Bostonians visited Philadelphia and I spent summer after summer with no less charming ones at Newport and Bar Harbor. Never once had I encountered the ghost of a suggestion of the MT. Arburton type, or of the stout aunt in "Out of the Question:" and I these people from the whole cloth of his imagination had I not one summer gone to to Campobello, which was at that time who'll ly Boston preserve. We arrived-our usu- al trio, mother, Brother Joe and myself just at the close of wild, raw day at our hotel Mother was so tired and chilled that was dreadfully anxious about her rheuma- tism and when she went down to the parlor to wait for tea I was greatly comforted to see behind semi-circular hem of Boston F. F. matrons and elderly dowagers an open fire blazing on the hearth.

As it began so it went on. Nobody said good morning or evening to us, or at table offered a dish or volunteered the. slightest remark. Day after day they made up their parties, went on ex- cursions, played games indoors and out, and read and talked in perfect oblivion of us. Joe and 1 could endure it because we could by ourselves make acquaintance with new and beautiful region, but for poor mother, who has to spend her summers in parlors or on verandas and lawns, it was depressing and cruel to be left So wholly out of the life about her, and we were all most thankful that we had come to Campobello but for a month, and were to spend the remaining summer in our old quarters at Bar HarhoF.

 WINDHAM, Catskill Mountains,
 Aup 26 1SS6

WINDHAM, Catskill Mountains, Aug. 26, 1886. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 While enjoying the breezes at this eleva- ton of some fifteen hundred feet above tide water the thought occurred to me that per haps some of your readers would like to hear from this delightful region.
 Windham, the s'fairest village in the noun tains," !" is situated in the northern Catskills, and is, we are happy to say, entirely free from the sound of the locomotive whistle, the nearest railroad having it's terminus at Hunter, ten miles from here When some years ago the railroad, that ''iconoclast,'' as it has been aptly termed by someone, inva- ded our favorite Stamping ground" up here, Tannersville, we were disgusted and re- mained away several seasons. But one grad ually gets used to these innovations of civili- zation, and visit in 1884 and another early in this month quite reeonciled us to said railroad as means of quickly and easily reaching the mountains through the grand Stony Glove.
 But nevertheless we feel more at home here, where from weeks end to weeks end no screech of engine reminds one of home and everyday business, and yet where we can read New York papers soon after noon on the day of issue.
 The walks and drives about here are charming, and the air is so invigorating that one does not realize how high the mercury stands in the thermometer.
 The church facilities are excellent. Sun day we listened with much pleasure to dis course from MT. Parsons in the Presbyterian church, which would have been credit to any pulpit.
 Last week six young ladies, school teach CTS of New Haven, were here on tour through the mountains.
 One thing that has surprised us since we have been here is the remarkably rapid and numerous changes in the direction of the wind. To-day it has blown at different times from all the different points of the compass, and yet the weather has been quite settled and the sky almost cloudless. This evening there is quite brilliant aurora.
 This August has been an unusually cool month up here. The 3d inst. we were at the Grand Hotel and saw snow falling early in the morning, and at noon the mercury indi- cated only fftyone degrees. Very little rain has fallen the past month or two, so that the crops are suffering. Last evening we saw men dipping up water from the Bataviakill, which flows through this valley, and water ing some of their vegetables; slow process.
