ERIcssoNs MONITOR.
The Government Came Near No
Getting the Little Vessel.


Mr.. G. s. Bushnell, of New Haven,
an old friend of John Ericsson, has been
interviewed about him by the New Haven
Palladium. Here is part of what he
said: "Mr. Ericsson, soon after our ac-
quaintance, let me take the Monitor
plans. He had vowed that he would
never go to Washington with the plan
because the Government owed him 81,
600 for his engineering work IN con-
structing the propeller Princeton, the
first propeller ever built, but would not
pay it. took the plans to Mr.. Welles,
Secretary of the Navy, and also to Mr..
Seward, Secretary of State. Mr.. Sew
ard gave me a note to President Lincoln
and on the following day called on the
President. He said he did not know
much about vessels, save fiat boats, but
he agreed to meet me the next day with
the board of Naval Commissioners.
Well, at this meeting President Lincoln
heard great deal of adverse criticism
ON the part of the naval officers, but he
said that the idea reminded him of the
expression of the girl, who, when she
put her foot in her stocking, said:
''There's something in it. Then L re-
quested the board to make a favorable
report that there might be vessel con-
stlucted from the plans. Two We're in
favor and one was opposed, and l could
not persuade him to consent. was
rather discouraged, and saw but one
way to secure adoption of the plan, and
that was to bring Ericsson before the
Board. left Washington for New York
that night. / saw Ericsson the next
morning, and, by the way, was admit
ted by a servant girl, Ann, who has been
in Mr.. Elicsson's service from that time
to the present. / succeeded in persuad-
ing him to break his vow, and return
to Washington, telling him that all that
believed was in the way of the accept
ance Of the plan was the fact that one
of the members of the Board did not
think that he understood the idea well
enough to give it his appreciation. So
Mr.. Ericsson returned with me, and
under the influence of the mans enthu
siasm and eloquenee, the board became
convinced Of the feasibility of the project
and gave it hearty approval Thus APP
proved the plan was carried out and the
Monitor was built. | have been associ-
ated for the past year with Mr.. Ericsson
in the construction of the Destroyer,
and he has left his plans for the vessel
in such perfect shape that his subordin-
ates can go right ON with the work and
complete what is to be an absolutely inn
pregnable vessel, capable of destroying
any or all of the vessels of the world,
monitors included, and which will I'M
doubtedly be accepted by the Govern
ment rs the style of vessel for the entire
coast. Mr.. Ericsson was certainly a
most wonderful man. The Dictator was
composed of 5000 different parts, all the
creation of mans brain, and his de-
signs for the vessel sent to the draughts-
men at Delamaters were so very explicit
that not plan or plate had to be
changed in the slightest. "
Mr.. Bushnell is one of the executors
of Mr.. Ericsson's will.

eotham's Horse-car Houses.

The uptown movement in New York
is all for little narrow houses built three
ON two lots or eight on five lots, and yet
so well finished and lavishly ornamented
that they fetch more than a splendid,
big, old-fashionedh house in the old parts
of town. Those who like elbow-room
call these new little dwellings ''horse-car
houses. One can not swing cat In
any room in such a house. and in the
bedrooms the custom is TO use patent
beds and to shut them mp IN the morn
ing in order to make room IN which to
dress. 1t is said that nine in ten Of these
houses are sold or rented TO newcomers
in town. Old residents, who have lived
in larger houses. can not be induced to
move into these little boxes.-4rgonaut

To the Lougee Medicine Co.:
Gentlemen:-In March last, upon my return
from Florida, | was attacked by Inhsm--
matory rheumatism, which badly effected my
knees and feet was confined to my bed for
three weeks unable 10 move, and 70 the house
for more than seven weeks. My appetite was
gone, and suffered from a trembling sensa-
ton in my stomach, the result OF weakness,
almost constantly. i was under medical treat
ment mill Msy when our Mr. WEIGH gave me
a bottle of DR.. r. W. Lougees V,talizing Com
pound TO try. In less than week after COM
mencing 10 take the Compound. this unpess-
ant sensation 1T the stomach had entirely dis
appeared, and has never r turned; NV appetite
which bad been very poor, was soon restored
TO full measure, and by the action Of the Com
pound upon my impoverished blood my rhea-
ma'ism gradually yielded, and in a month bad
entirely disappeared. In fact. from the first
taking Of the Compound my improvement in
every respect was rapid and constant and |
have been for two months in perfect health.
! consider il remarkable medicine for such
affections and can most heartily recommend it
70 all sufferers like myself.
To parties living at a distance, who may be
interested in my case, and in consequence de-
sire to establish my identity, | would say that
have been engaged IN shoe manufacturing in

approached, looked the dog square in

The dog was so surprised at hearing a
bird speak that he dropped his tail,
wheeled and ran away, and IRON that
day to this he has never been known to

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
note. on the Eclipse at T.scarora

EDITOR INDEPENDENT-Tho morning
OF Jan. 1, 1889, dawned bright and
clear and as the time drew near for the
eclipse to come OH, groups of ladies and
gentlemen gathered in convenient places
and stood With glass IN hand eager to
catch the first contact of the moon in
its transit over tho disk of the sun.
Men dropped their tools Of labor and
expectantly waited 10 note the total
interposition of the Queen of Night
between the enrth aud the God of Day.
At l O'Clock P. NJ. mining time,
faint line of darkness began to appear
along the horizon over the western crest
Of Mount Bitten, and ut l.08 O'Clock
the first contact became visible on tho
lower right hand rim of the sun and
mo ment later the ordinations OF the
Watchers pronounced the contact per.
feet. While tracing the progress of the
moon gliding between the earth and
the suns the shadow in the west grew
deeper, changing the while from dark
gray to blue black. An Rll-pe netrating
chilIiness seemed to pervado the air,
the faces of the spectators looked ghust-
ly in the semi-darkness, birds few down
n hurried whirr, the poultry sought
shelter, and great black crow came
sweeping down from the mountains and
took himself to the south with rapid
flight.
At 2:3O o'clock tie last glimmering
ray direct from the sun was intercepted,
many stars became visible aud the toll
ing of bells and screaming of whistles
proclaimed that the totality of the
eclipse was on. Just al the last rays
ceased to CLEAN from the upper eastern
limb of the sun there came fash Of
red light and the ever-interesting coro-
M, surrounding the sun, sprang out in
lambert flames, seeming literally to
crown the moon in halo of glory
through which was visible to the un-
assisted eye the intense and ever-activA

And now for Q brief space of time
there was silence. The very heavens
seemsd to be holding th cir breath. N"
sound of bird or benst or anything wns
heard to disturb the ghost-lIke HtillnesS
that for moment prevailed. Scarcely
two minutes hnd elapsed from total
obscuration when from the wost there

indescribnbIe brliinncy, thrusting out
spiral lnuces Of intense
light, binding us for the time, aud
then the clear, bright, western rim ei
the sun took form and at AS o'clock
great shout from the people proclsine
TINT the total eclipse OF the sun, Jan. l,

McNally responded, incidentally describing the con-
ditiOn, under which the organization originally

ulty toward the Typographical Union. and expressed
belief that the organization Of publishers would
improve the relations between employers and en-
ployes. AT the afternoon session the international
copy right question brought up, and I'm tie dcbat,
that followed the sentiment general that some
law assuring TO author in English speaking
country the property in his productions in all other
countries was desirable. The view Of the English
publishers that when the English copyrights Of a
work was sold, this sale should include the United
States was not indorscd the convention holding
that an author had the right TO sell his manuscript
on both sides Of the Atlantic. This evening the dele
