Ernstus Corning and Webster,

The following story of Daniel Webster, Illustrative Of his winning personal traits, told by leading local lawyer, is given in the Albany Journal. Years ago the late Erastus Corning, of Albany, as 8 comparatively young man, made MT. Web- ster's acquaintance somewhat intimately. As result of the friendship it turned out that tho former indorsed MT. Webster's s bank note for considerable sum. Whom the note fell due protests came to the firm and they paid the note. Knowing Mir. Websters impecuniosity and not wishing to crowd him, they did not call upon him for security.
 After some years, and when it was SUD- posed that MT. Websters financial condi- tion was much improved, Mir. Corning, at the instance of the firm, wrote, asking MT. Webster if he could make it convent ent to pay the claim. The answer was a courteous note from MT. Webster making excuses that just at present he could not meet the demand, and ending up by a pressing invitation for Mir. Corning to visit him later when he would probably be able to pay, or at least to secure the claim satisfactorily. The firm advised Mir. Corning to accept the invitation, which he did. On his return MT. Corning came home delighted with the pleasures of his visit, and entertained his partners with glowing accounts of the great states mans hospitalities and descscriptions of the charming incidents of the sojourn, in which he ignored the business object which partly impelled the visit
 Finally, after he had exhausted descrip- ton of the visit, one of MT. Cornings friends said: "Well, I suppose MT. Web ster was pleased because he could pay the note2" ..Pleased to pay the note" said Mr. Corning; che mot only didn't pay the note, but he so charmed me that he got me to sign another note for S5, ,OOO, and I am thankful that he didn't ask me to make it $10,00O, for don't think I could have resisted hfs request" Mir. Corning Is said to have had subsequent declined on the ground that Ke could not afford so expensive pleasure.

WOMEN AND LICENSE.

When the house last week passed the bill allowing women to vote on the li- cense question the DEMOCRAT promptly, energetically and fearlessly protested against such action as unwise, inexpe- dient and unnecessary. We held it to be an assumption in advance that prohibi- tion would be defeated at the polls next October, and declaration, therefore. from the republican party of the state that it did not propose to allow the adoption of the prohibitory amendment. It looked like piece of very clumsy jugglery on the part of the republican party in the house, and it is not surprising, therefore, that in the exercise of that sober second thought which seems to be necessary on all occasions with the present legis- lature the house should vote to recon sider it's action in the premises.
 Since the DEMOCRAT sounded the warning other papers have taken up the matter and ventured to protest mildly against such uncalled for legislation. Like ourselves some of them believed there was no reason, if women were to
 be allowed to vote on the matter of li- cense, to deny them the privilege of voting on everything that comes within the range of male suffrage. And it seems to have dawned on the legislators, especially on the republicans who had mt looked where they were jumping, that they had, to use a vulgar but expressive phrase, put their foot in it. The action of the house yesterday in reconsidering and tabling the bill was the natural con sequence. It is to be hoped, as is very probable, that nothing more will be heard of the bill, or if it is again taken up that it will be overwhelmingly de- feated. The men have not shown any need of assistance from the weaker sex in settling the license question, and it is not probable that the sentimental forces which women would bring to the settle ment of the problem would be effective in a correct adjustment of question that has an economic as we'll as a moral importance.
 The license question is one which women are particularly unfitted to grapple with, and it is pleasant to note that a glaring legislative mistake is like ly to be corrected.

SEAlS ON THE GREEN.

As strenuousiy advocated by the DEMO- GRAF, the court of common council last evening voted in favor of placing seats on the green. This was an eminently wise, proper and laudable thing to do, and reflects credit on the good sense of tne city fathers. The green is for the whole people of the city, and its legiti- mate purpose is best served when it is made useful to them. And in no way could 1t be made more useful to the peo- pie than in providing them with a rest. ing place where amid the burning heat of the day or in the grateful shades ot evening they may breathe in the pure air that circulates beneath it's beautiful eims. There was not a single argument that could be urged against placing seats on the green, and it is gratifying to note the unanimity with which the city fathers voted in favor of it.
 Now let those whose duty it is to at tend to the placing of the seats set promptly to work to carry out the or. ders of the council There should not be a single day of unnecessary delay in the matter of securing and placing most advantageously sufficient number of seats to provide accommodations for all who may be disposed to avail themselves of them.

 A shout from the people recalls my at tention. Sebastian has risen, picked up the sword and flag. and is facing the bull once more. There was silence in the ring .like death. Again the sword Is raised, again all is dust, again form lies the bull Sebastian has killed it at one stroke, feat seldom accomplished by even the masters of the art.

of relief for those who survive. The fearful rush of waters that carried death and destruction before them left in their wake destitution, distress and suffering unutterable, which appeals to the sym pathy and charity of their fellow coun- trymen throughout the land. The legis- lature of Connecticut did noble thing yesterday when it appropriated $25, ,OOO from the state treasury for the relief of the sufferers. New Haven, Hartford and other places in the state are already up and doing, and it behooves the citi- zens of Waterbury to come to the front and show that their hearts beat in sym pathy for those who have been so ter ribly afflicted.
 We would suggest that the board of trade take this matter in hand and start a fund for the relief of the sufferers. ity enough in this city to make a very creditable showing in the raising of funds. No disaster outside of war times has come upon the country that has equalled this awful flood. and never has public affiiction so great appealed to the hearts and pockets of a sympathizing people. Whatever amount may be con- tributed will be helpful in the needed work of relief and whether it be great or small it should be promptly forthcom- ing. We believe the board of trade could very consistently and properly start a relief fund and extend sympathy and help to the sufferers in the name of the city of Waterbury.
 Will the board of trade take the matter in hand?
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-06-04
THE NEW JUDGES,

Connecticut's judiciary has been re- stored to it's full complement, bar ring one, by Governor Bulkeley' $ nomination yesterday of Hon Ed ward w. Seymour, of Litchfield, and Samuel O. Prentice, of Hart. ford, to places on the supreme and SUI perior court benches respectively. The governor has been impartial, politically speaking, as MT Seymour is democrat and MT Prentice a republican, although, in the present uneven political balance of the judiciary, he might have named two democrats without seriously dis turbing the republican preponderance.
 In the selection of Mir Seymour Gov ernor Bulkeley has shown a wisdom and discrimination entirely creditable to his judgment. There are few lawyers in Connecticut better fitted for the duties that will devolve upon him as a member of the supreme court. and none, we believe, whose se- lection would win greater approval from those best qualified to pass judg- ment thereon. Mir Seymour is a pro- found lawyer, a cultivated gentleman, rigidly honest and sturdy in principle, of an eminently judicial temperament, and thoroughly equipped by nature and training for his new position. His career in congress reflected credit on himself as well as the voters of the Fourth con gressional district, and gave added evi- dence of the sterling worth and great | ability of the man. In selecting Mir Seymour Governor Bulkeley has re- f1ected credit on himself and honor on the legal fraternity of the state.
 MT Prentice has neither the experi- ence nor the ability of Mir Seymour to commend him, and his selection is prob ably due to personal friendship on the part of the governor. It may be, how ever, that MT Prentice is equal to the exigencies of the position to which he has been named, even though no one seems to have suspected it except Governor Bulkeley. If he .shall show himself but half as well equipped for the place as Mir Seymour the good Judgment of the governor will have been vindica- ted in his choice.
 There is no doubt of the confirmation of both nominations, so that we may consider the judiciary of the state nearly completed by their addition to it.

Rocks in Virginia.
 The erection of the new government dam in the river near Charleston, ". Na, has hidden from sight the famous ",ic- tured rock" one of the familiar ianl- marks of tho Kanawha valley, and one which has occasioned much wonder and fruitless speculation. The rock was lc- cated near the mouth of Paint creek, and, while the river was in it's natural condi- tion, was visible at low water every sum- mer. Some years ago a part of the stone was removed for building purpOres, an act of vandalism which should have been prevented at all hazards, and now the re- mainder Is submerged at all seasons of the year.
 When whole the surface of the "pictur- ed rock" was about 20 by 30 feet in extent, and was covered with repre- sentations of animals. fish and fowls, carved deep in the smooth surface. on one side were the figures of man and q bear, the latter being about life size Near by was a buffalo track, and a short distance away was the representation oi large fish and number of footprints, evidently representing the imprint of a child's foot. The work was evidently done by prehistoric people, as the tradi- tions of the valley are that the repre- sentations were on the stones when the first white man visited the region, and that they then bore unmistakable signs Of great ago, being water worn smooth.
 The vicinity of Paint creek is rich iH aboriginal and prehistoric relies.
 At Mooretield from the time of the first settlement, the cliff known as the Gap Books, in the Petersburg Gap, has borne the gigantic representation of a common fox. The picture is upon the sheer and inaccessible face of the rock, some thirty feet from the top and nearly 100 from the bottom, and being colored dingy yellow ill sharp contrast to the brown stone, has been visible for 6 long distance. Last Tuesday, the 9th inst, Glen McGill, of Ohio, who was visiting Cell Beans, near this place, went out to view the fox, ac- companied by MT. Beans. After an in- spection from the bottom of the cliff the two men ascended to the top and making arope fast to a tree, McGill lowered him. self down tothe fox. He describes it as being about twelve feet long, and painted or plastered upon the cliff with sub- stance resembling earthenware glaze, which is as hard as the rock itself. The surface of the fox is quite rough, as though the stuff was roughly smeared on by hand before it hardened. There was high wind blowing at the time McGill made his venture, and he ran consider able risk. He took along mallet and CHS .i, intending to cut his name on the fox, but was prevented by the force of the wind which swung him about at an alarming rate.-N. '. Sun.

GOVERNOR BULKELEY is receiving praise from all quarters except where selfish interests are at stake for his veto of the oleomargarine bill. We do not believe the denunciation of the Wind ham county farmers will do him any great harm politically. nor do we think they will have things their own way if they undertake to mete out political pun ishment to him. He has made more friends than enemies by his veto, and we are confident the future will show it.
