BENEDICT ARNoLo's HOUSE.

1t is Still Standing I'm che Fifth Ward in
New Haven.
The old Benedict Arnold house is still
standing in the Fifth ward, on Water
street, near the corner of Olive street.
1t has fallen into decay, but there are
some grey-haired citizens who remem-
ber it when it was one of the show places
of the town. Its orchard was the larg-
est and finest in New Haven, and the
grounds were laid out in handsome ter
races.
Arnold built the house soon after his
return from Ticonderoga. He must
have been man of some wealth, for the
house was well built and the grounds
were ample. Arnold was not popular
man. He had violent and irascibIe
temper, and ''would rather fight than
eat" as has been said of him. He al
ways found fault, and the ferrymen who
took passengers across the mouth of the
Quinnipiac river before the bridge was
built, dreaded to have him for passen-
ger, for he always swore at them for not
rowing faster
Nevertheless Arnold was a man of
affairs. Besides his business as drug
gist and BOOKSELLER he, with Adam Bab-
cock, owned three vessels engaged in
the West India trade. They were the
brigantine Fortune, forty tons, the
Charming Sally, thirty tons, and the
Three Brothers, twenty-eight tons.
Arnold never took particular pains to
see that all custom house dues were
paid; in fact, he was very lax in this
no artipn1ar II ia alatad hot
time sailor on board one of his vessels
reported some of these laxities to the
collector of the port. The report was
made on Sunday, and the collector re-
fused to receive it, and told the sailor
to come again on Monday. In the mean
time Arnold had heard of the sailors
tale bearing. Before Monday came
Arnold adopted a course of moral and
physical suasion which compelled the
sailor to leave town with his tale untold.
Arnold's laxity in regard to the GUS
toms laws was probably not much greater
than that of his neighbors. Indeed, to
evade the customs was virtue rather
than fault, for it was regarded as a
justifable method of prote-t against
taxation without representation.
Arnold's property was confiscated af-
ter his treachery at West Point was dis
covered. Pierpont Edwards acted on
the governments administration and
sold the property to Captain Isaac Prout.
Captain Prout made only a partial pay
ment, and was unable to meet the SUBJ
sequent payments as they became due.
In this way the property came into the
hands of Noah Webster, the lexicogra-
pher, and he lived there for some years,
finally selling it to James Hunt, West
India merchant, who devised it to his
daughter, wife of ID. Goffe Phipps, OF
this city. The house still remains in
Mrs. Phipps possession, although it has
been almost dismantled.
Betsey Arnold, sister of Benedict
Arnold lived for years and years after
her brothers disgrace, in Norwich, on
public charity. When she was ninety
years old she was taken to the aims
house by old Sheriff Il. G. Thomas.
Betsey made great how-de-do about it.
and was so grieved that she lived only
few months. She was strong old
woman, and had much of her brothers.

"The position is not good one," said
the editor to whom he applied, candidly,

EMMA AeBoTT'S WEALTH.
The Snug Fortune Acquired by the Ambi.
tions American Songstress.

tions American Songstress.
Few American songstresses, says
New York paper, can prove the substan-
tial success that is the lot of Emma Alb.
bott. She is an example of the pluck
and perseverance Of the American girl.
At the age of eighteen she was a soprano
in DR.. Chapin's church in New York
and known to the communicates as
very pleasing singer; and an operatic
future she had never believed possible,
but through the interest of friends she
was induced to go to Paris and complete
her studies. She was even at that time
the betrothed wife of Eugene Wetherell.
He urged her to accept the proposition
and she went abroad and studied with
such ardor that she inside of year had
completely lost her voice throAgh over
work, but by careful medical attention
she was enabled to regain her former
vocal capabilities, and returned to this
country, where she was introduced to
c. d. Hess, and a coalition was formed
by Wotherell, Hess and Miss Abbott to
star the latter with the Hess English
Opera Company. Last Saturday she
walked into the Treasury Department
at Washington with an ordinary package
OF brown paper, about eighteen inches
thick, carried carelessly in hor hand.
General Rosecrans had one of the clerks
examine the package, and it was found
to be s135, 900 in Government four per
cent. bonds. Miss Abbott had brought
them to have them registered. This
amount represents the partial profits OF
her stage career, and it is safe to say
that no other prima donna can match
Miss Abbott in wealth, with the excep'
tion Of Adelina Patti.

Thanksgiving if we have made good use of
Gods gifts through the year
=. A. day of Christian sociability and
hospitality. The hurried west is sadly de-
icient in the Christian grace OF hospital
ity, which has always been such virtue
in the New England character and life
The theme christian Hospitality as Ex-
emplified, or as Lacking in this Great
West, was propounded for consideration
the coming year.
3. a day for remembering the poor
The general question of the church's atti-
tude toward the poor was discussed at
some length, it being affirmed that in the
language ola New York clergyman, 1t is
not charity, but fraternity, that the world
wants. 1t was affirmed that we do not
do our duty in simply giving to the poor
We should not cOndescend 70 them. but
treat them like brothers, and in order TO
treat them SO, the church must feel so.
The spirit # him who ''came, not TO be
ministered unto, but TO minister" must
be ours, if we are really to preach his gos-
Del TO the poor. 1t was recommended that
Gen. Booths book In Darkest England"
be read by all
The conclusion was in two parts. First,
a return to the thought that thanks
giving day should express the con-
tinuous spirit of the year, that of
Thanksgiving to God. But we are 20
be thankful not only for those things in
which we have been reioiced, but in the
trials, disappointments, losses. In these
times Of financial straits we need 10 learn
as truly to be thankful for the s. we did
as for the * we did get when we wanted
$40 : o, in looking over national affairs,
we are still in everything To give thanks"
The reasonable basis of this Is our faith
that 1.-THE Lord God omnipotent reigneth,"
who, in spite of the wrath Of devils and
the devices Of men, Is surely fulfilling His
purposes in history 1t may he hard to
see how God is in so sad an affair as the
public disgrace of the great and brilliant
leader Of the Irish parliamentary party
In England, yet God rules. Recent events
in Kansas and present conditions through
out the nation remind Us Of the need of a
faith in God that will support Us through
al events.
Finally, why are we A Christian nation,
Not because Of the proclamations and the
recognition of Christian ordi-
nances, but because of the potential nu-
cleus of proiiny, God-fearing people of the
nation. When this is out Of proportion to
the entire national life, our overthrow is
sure. While il is of sufficient strength we
shall live and prosper For the sake Of the
gospel and humanity, say, long live the

around in the morning selling papers
more earnestly and theoretically than ever
and more inclined to make every one buy
a paper.
Some days ago Mr. Thomas Shaw, the
music man, notified the kids that he would
give them a dinner at the St Lawrence
The dinner was to be served at 3 p IN.
They were to assemble at the Shaw music
store at 2:3O and march in line 10 the ST.
Lawrence.
1t was not especially desired that they
assemble before $50, but they were not
going to be left No one of them intended
to miss the invitation As a result the
majority were on hand an hour ahead Of
time. They had left their papers and
boxes somewhere, probably in alleys and
store boxes. They were free 10 shift about,
chase around aud make a. much noise and
all-around racket as they were able 20 send
out on the gentle air They thoroughly
arou Cd the vicinity and attracted the at
tention Of everyone
Finally, the uOur arrived for the march,
they formed in line The register book
was passed around and they put down
their names, most Of them show
ing an improvement over the
writing Of the average lawyer
The line Of "twos' was headed by two
drums that marked the time They
marched to Douglas, east to Lawrence
and north to the st. Lawrence. Mr.. Shaw
accompanied them and he appeared to be
quite a favorite. They were not inclined to
toss at him any of their street Slangs. but
dished out their slang to each other They
were eighty-three in number and as will
be conceded formed quite an army TO
meet innocent turkey. Everything was
in readiness at the st. Lawrence and the
little fellows were soon at the dinner
tables having the happy time they had
been thinking SO much about. After
dinner the little fellows extended thanks
to Mr. Shaw in an earnest way. They had
not practiced saying thank YOU when
they did not mean a word Of it, but is was
the kind of thanks said in earnest
