THE WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT.sATURDAY l88s

columns the following appeared, wbich knocks the props entirely from under the bloody shirt harangue
 NEW YORK, June 1-Gen W. T. Sherman wrote to morning paper to-day that he had received no invitation to appear on the reviewing stand on Memorial day, and further stating that he was unable to attend the memorial services in the Metropolitan opera house because he was told the seats were filled. This afternoon he was con- fronted with reply to the committees invita- tion in his own handwriting, regretting his ina bility to be present on account of previous en- gagement.
 General Sherman declares he had no recollection of receiving the invitation, but when confronted by the committee he wilted, and promised to make public apology. The Republican also makes a wishy -washy apology to it's readers, although to do so it was forced to swallow bitter pill. MT Morrow is a patriot He also has all the peculiar destructive quail ities of another kind of animal.

Washing Clothes in Morocco.

The only work I ever saw men doing in Morocco is washing clothes. When Moor washes his clothes it is because they need washing, and not for the absurd reason sim ply that Saturday night has come around, and Moor, from his outdoor life, can kick like mule, they kick their clothes clean instead of scrubbing them They seem to have regular washing bees when they get together at the river banks, provided with large flat stones; then they soak their clothes i'll Moorish soap until the tertiary period has had chance to soften, after which the real fun commences. A thorough artist places his wash on the flat stone, cuts double pigeon wing with each leg in turn, taps the inside of his knee with his opposite foot be- fore he brings it down with spank like the fond caress of childhood, making at the same time noise with his mouth similar to the escape of Westinghouse engine, while the dirt of ages flies in all directions, and all hands, or rather feet, keep time with the regularity of dance, for the Moorish saint of the wash tub is supposed to hover around and flap his celestial wings in contentment as long as the racket is kept up in this man. ner.-Cor.

SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1888.
National Democratic Convention,

The national democratic committee hav- ing met in the city of Washington on the 22d day of February, 1888, has appointed Tuesday, the 9th day of June next at noon as the time chosen and the city of St Louis as the place of holding the national demo- cratic convention.
 Each state is entitled to a representation therein equal to double the number of it's senators and representatives in the con- press of the United States. The Demo crats of each organized territory and the District of Columbia are invited to send two delegates, subject to the decision ot the convention as to their admission. All Democratic conservative citizens of the United States, irrespective of past political associations and differences, who can unite with us in the effort for pure, econom1- cal and constitutional government, are cor dially invited to join in sending delegates to the convention.

A Spring Announcement.

If you are desirous of making yourselves and friends happy, get just as many tickets as possible on those elegant Shoninger Pianos offered as an induce ment to trade, by the Waterbury Boot and Shoe Co.,, Edward J. Finn, and Reed & Go. At the same time it is not best to really believe you are going to hold the lucky number until you are certain. Therefore do not delay purchasing but call at our store and see how low and on what easy terms the best known pianos in Waterbury can be bought. Merchants desire the best and most popular piano in order to improve their trade. They cannot afford to patronize small dealers, that IS the reason they buy the Shoninger: Gus toners are in like manner saved dollars by our method of reaching the purchaser from first hands only. Small dealers who are begging here, there and everywhere for pianos to sell on any terms and prices, paying twenty-five per cent for the priv ilege of doing business, cannot De ex- pected to successfully compete with man ufacturers. Beware of the agent who runs down his neighbors' goods. It IS always positive proof that the article in question has merit. If it had none no effort would be required to keep it down and no anuse necessary. So when an agent tells you the Shoninger is no good, just investigate and see how soon we can prove tnae the agents has, to put it mild, departed rom truth. B. SHONINGER & 70.

THE effect of the Paris letter upon Il

THE effect of the Paris letter upon the real Simon pure Blaine men who began talking for "Blaine in 1SSS'' before the end of November, 1884, and have kept it up ever since, says the Washington cores pondent of the New York Times, is dis tressing. Their hearts are broken, for they are sure now that the country is on the straight road to the demnition bowwows. ''This means death to the republican party, death to the protective tariff, death to the progress and prosperity of the country, 2 said one of these heart-broken Blaine en- enthusiasts yesterday. "Blaine was the only man who could beat Cleveland in New York, New Jersey and California. He was the only man who could take the Irish vote away from the democratic party. He was the only republican who could win against Cleveland. Now everything is lost. The farmers who wanted to vote for Blainewil vote for the prohibition candidate or stay at home and the democrats will carry everything. There is no use in being z republican any longer"

Finest Country House in America.

Finest Country House in America.
 Almost every American has heard of J. c. Flood, the California millionaire, but very few are aware of the fact that Mir. Flood is the owner of the most magnificent country house and grounds in North America. The estaA9 is at Menlo Park, near San Francisco, andlyduring MT. Floods illness is closed to visitors. The estate covers 1000 acres, and is under the charge of a landscape gardener and 120 assistants. The drives are several miles in length, and arc made of white gravel kept spotlessly clean. The foliage, shrub bery and flowers are beyond description. Everything is symphony in white and gold" The porter's lodge is beautiful cot tage near the only entrance to the grounds, and the great gates are white and gold The grounds are lighted by hundreds of gas lamps, with ground glass shades, the gas be- ing made on the place. Statuary of the most chaste and elegant design and of exquisite workmanship gives a finish to the lawns and closely trimmed hedges.
 But the house is the main attraction. It is built ill style of architecture that might be termed French, although not decidedly of that school. It is dazzling white, the roofs | are of black slate in patterns, and the decora- tions are all in gold. Even the inside blinds | and the furnishings are white and gold, and this effect has been preserved in the finish | ings of the servants quarters, the superb sta- ble and all the buildings on the premises. | The house stands on an eminence and over | looks one of the most beautiful lawns that art can produce. Fountains plash on every side; a terrace of ivy and flowers hems in the eastern view, while bank of violets and a wall of roses temper the force of the ocean breezes and perfume them. The perfect crea- tion of an artistic mind, with all the neces- sary funds to maintain it in it's perfection, Floods palace stands unrivaled in America, a typical home of self made millionaire l San Francisco Letter

A QUEER OLD COLLECTOR.
What He Does with His Curios--Hi
 $500 Umbrella.

What He Does with His Curios--His
 $500 Umbrella.
 'tDo you see that small, stout man across the wayp' asked loquacious policeman as he pointed out to the writer a stocky little person who stared abstractedly through his iron trimmed spectacles and waddled com placently along swinging an umbrella of generous proportions and sea green hue.
 The writer remarked that he had seen the little man before, and inquired who he was.
 That man." replied the officer, 'sis a con- noisseur and collector of curios, and owns what is perhaps the largest and most interest ing private collection of relics in the United States. He is not mere accumulator of worthless bric-a-brac, nor is his collection one of curiosities only. Every article in his large collection has history, and the strangest thing about them is that they are daily (and many of them hourly brought into requisition and made practical use of by their matter of fact owner. The dishes used on his dinner table, besides being varied and curious, have the added interest of having at some period of their history graced the board of some famous parsonage. His table linen, candelabra, clocks, rugs and chairs, his very knives and forks, once belonged to some noted persons.
 ''He declares his umbrella, however, to be his greatest treasure. It is his inseparable companlon, and accompanies him wherever he goes. The handle of this umbrella is made from piece of the Chatter Oak, in which is set small triangular piece of stone, clipped from Plymouth Rock; the stick is made from branch of the old elm tree at Cambridge, | under which Washington assumed command l of the Colonial armies; the brass cap on the | lower end of the stick was made from the l trimmings of sword scabbard once used by 1 Gen. Grant; the green covering originally served as the lining of 8 coat, worn on state occasions by the suave and courtly Aaron Burr; the ribs, springs and other metal trap pings were manufactured from small steel cannon, captured by the Americans from the Hessians at the battle of Brandywine. Eight 1 oblong pieces of brass have been inserted in ! as many sides of the octagonal handle I These were made from buttons cut from the military coats of eight generals famous in the revolutionary war.
 "The proud owner of this unique umbrella | does not believe in keeping his treasures under lock and key, but makes free use of his | interesting possessions. He is very careful, however, not to lend his cherished storm screen, and as yet has never left it behind | him ill street car or elsewhere. The collec- tor values his miniature parachute at $500, although -nathina ahsAl.4.- -L->--l---r-.-s. could ever induce him to part with the his torical gamp."-New York World.

PUBLISHERS ANNOUNCEMENT.

THE DEMOCRAT will complete it's first six months of existence Monday, and in honor of the event, on and after that date the price of the paper will be reduced to $500 year, two cents copy. We make this change primarily for the benefit of large number of transient readers, who now pay three cents day for the paper, which is equivalent to about $9.00 a year, and, secondly, with the intention of mak- ing the DEMOCRAT the most widely read paper in this section of the state. Water bury is democratic town, and there is no reason why the circulation of the only party paper in the Naugatuck Valley should not have circulation double what it how has. We say this not through any dissatisfaction with the first six months work, but because we are ambitious and want to reach large class of newspaper readers who take their democracy from the cheap and unreliable New York papers. The DEMOCRAT covers the political field, the local field and the general news of the day thoroughly, and it is no idle boast to say that it prints more news than any paper in Waterbury. It will benefit a democrat; convert mugwump, and will not harm republican.
 GREATER enthusiasm has never been shown than was displayed by the demo- crats in congress at the suggestion that ex- Senator Allen G.. Thurman should be nominated for vice-president on the ticket with MT Cleveland. The sentiment is absolutely unanimous in favor of the greatest of all of Ohio's citizens. Nothing but the consent of Judge Thurman would be necessary to secure his nomination by accIa1naJlOn.

THE first session of the Fiftieth congress bids fair to break the record as to the length of the session. No one dares to name time for adjournment. If they are not still at Washington in September i4 will be because the heat will drive them away. Let us glance at the regular busi- ness that has to be finished up before they can adjourn. Of the fourteen regular ap- propriation bills, only two-the Military academy and pension bills-have passed both houses. Five of the others have passed the house, and one is now pending before that body. Six of them have not yet been reported from the committees. The first session of the Forty ninth con- gress was called very slow, but at a cor responding date two years ago it was more than one third ahead of the present con- gross. .5-.

THE Mills tariff bill, when it comes be- fore the house again, will have quite a number of amendments added. But none will be accepted or voted for by democrats, except those which have been accepted by the democratic caucus, a resolution to that effect having been unanimously passed by the caucus Wednesday night. The amend ments which have been accepted by the caucus, are rather numerous, but do not affect the bill to any great extent. It is estimated that all told they will not make more than $, 900, ,0O0 year difference.
