moments in the battle of Gettysburg. Gen. Devereux, who now is in charge of the building of the new soldiers home at Marion, Ind, was one of the original organizers of the Nationalist Club of Boston, and member of the Social Bellamy Club that preceded it. He belongs to the old Salem family of that name, and is native of that city. He received his military training at West Point, under Gen. Robert E. Lee. As with many others who were cadets at that period, the events of the war did not alienate his affection and per- sonal admiration for the great souther- ner. Gen. Devereux is an inventor as we'll as a soldier, and has occupied re- sponsible positions in the operating de- partments of railways, commanding large bodies of men in peaceful industry, as well as in war. Experience in the arts both of war and of peace has there fore made him exceptionally competent to judge of the desirability of national organization of industry. He has for many years held the ideas formulated by MT. Belamy, and being of humane nature, large-hearted and sympathetic, though strict disciplinarian, his con- mand of large working forces did not make him harsh and arbitrary in his dealings with them and in his ideas of their nature and needs. On the con- trary, it impressed him with what should be done, not only to secure more efficient work and better and larger pro- duction, but also to benefit the work CTS themselves and develop their innate capacities as human beings. The judge ment of man of practical experience like that of Gen. Devereux. is therefore entitled to exceptional weight on sub ject like this.
 Like many another soldier, Gen. Devereux is thorough believer in peace. E holds that the manifestations of extraol dinary unseltishness that furn- ish the ighest pro if of worth resting somewh. -e in common human nature, are as capable of development under the conditions of peace as hitherto they have been in war.
 Some men seem to radiate good nature, and it is really difficult for many of his friends to think of

American people in every one of his speeches, and which is the essential fact that makes those speeches immortali Does it not demonstrate to those who read history in the large that the inten- sification of nationality wrought by the civil war is unswervingly on the line of development with the great moral idea that, as a human family, we are the trustees of posterity, and that it is our duty, not merely to keep the national life as fine as it has been, but to enlarge it, and establish in behalf of our chil- dren opportunities for freer play of individuality, and more widely spread and better administered material pro- ductiyeness? This fairly represents the ethical politics which one imbibes in the atmosphere of Capt Bowers. There is nothing denunciatory in this mans tenn perament-nothing of the revolutionist, or of the soldier with the glamour of glory upon him. One of the most active of the founders of Nationalism, he is also one of the calmest and most calcu- lating. His is the aggression. not of passion, not of tremendous anger against the injustice of the present system, but the aggressiveness of geniality which, looking at the immense amount of ma terial daily wasted, thinks it a neart- breaking pity and monstrous absurdity that every man, woman and child all over this rich country should not have every day as good dinner as the joyous captain himself knows how to enjoy. And another peculiarity of his has helped along the Nationalist cause very markedly; that is, the fact that he may be briefly described as a walking direc- tory of all the notable men of Massachu- setts. Not to be known by Capt. Bowers has been said by one well known. man to be almost passport to obscurity.
 In personal appearance Capt. Bowers does not look more than 35, his round face adding dash of boyishness to the under small, straight nose. His eyes are his characteristic feature, having generally most cordial, or a right merry look. He was born in old Con- cord, Mass, in 1S44, and was graduated from the Concord high school in '59, when A Bronson Alcott was superinten- dent and Ralph Waldo Emerson one of the school committee. As boy he was well acquainted with, and took great delight in the notice taken of him by such men as Emerson, Thoreau, Chan ming, John Brown. Wendell Phillips, Theodore Parker, Barker Pillsbury, Judge Hoar, Judge Brooks and the men and women who were active in the anti slavery movement. Concord was then a well known station on the under ground railroad, and Charles E. Bowers was elected lieutenant in the boys mili. tary company, which was formed in '59, and which was furnished by the state with muskets from the state arsenal at Cambridge. Natur9' ly a boy thus bora and bred could not ep out of the war. He enlisted at the age of IS, and, though severely wounded at Gettysburg, served through the war. For year and a half past he has given his undivided atten tion to Nationalism, having been the first president of the First Nationalist Club and business manager of the Ma tionalist Magazine.

LEGISLATURE PASSES.
Win There Be a Usual Crop of Ere
 Tickets in 1891,

Win There Be a Usual Crop of Free Tickets in 1891. The last legislature passed an act for bidding the issue of passes to members or members elect of the general assem- ply which will now first be operative It reads as follows:
 Section 1. The comptroller, whenev- CT requested by any member or member elect of the general assembly so to do, shall procure from such railroad com panies, as may be necessary, ticket or tickets entitling said member to trans portatlon by ths most convenient route between Hartford and his home station, during the session of the general assem- ply next to be holden, or then current, which ticket or tickets the comptroller shall deliver to the said member upon receiving from him an assignment to the state of his mileage allowance for the session in question, which assign ment he shall receive in full payment therefor.
 Section 2-The comptroller is hereby authorized and directed to pay for the tickets, so procured by him, such sum or sums as may reasonably be charged therefor by the railroad companies.
 Section 3-No railroad company shall issue to any member or member-eIect of the general assembly any ticket or other token entitling him to transportation to and from Hartford, during any ses sion of the general assembly, unless such tickets be issued upon the same terms and at the same price as tickets are ordi- narily issued by said company entitling the holder to an equivalent amount of travel.
 The interesting point about the law is that no penalty attaches to it.

THAT PUBLIC BUILDING BILL.
Representative WILCOX Fighting For Waterbury.

Representative WillcoX Fighting For
 Waterbury.
 A Washington correspondent to the New Haven Register writes: Represen- tative Wilcox appeared before the com mittee on postoffces and post roads to- day in regard to the Waterbury building bill appropriating $l00,00 Under rule Tn force last session two bills from a congressional district wers taken up to one from democratic dis trict This rule will not be adhered to this session, not through any lack of the life fluid of partisanship, for that will always be on top while Reed wields the speakers gavel. The republicans will doubtless endeavor to get some credit for this shift, whereas the truth is they have been forced to abandon it because there was not enough of republican bills to go round.
 Under these circumstances Mir Will cox has hopes of being successful in his efforts to pass the Waterbury measure. Under an agreement reached by the few republicans having public building bills with Speaker Reed, two days of this ses. sion will be devoted to this class of legislation. The first day will be taken up by bills that were passed in commit. tee of the whole last session. There are thirty three of these and one day ought to dispose of them. These W ill be taken up tomorrow. The second will proba. ply be early in January. MT Willco7 will see the speaker tQ-morrow and ask for recognition on that day for the Wa. terbury bill.
 In relation to the same matter Presi. dent Rice of the board of trade to-day received the following letter fro m Con gressman Willcox:
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec 8, 1890. F. B. Rice, Esq:
 My Dear Sir-Yours of the 9th inst is received. lhaFe had several talks with the committee of postoffice buildings etc, in reference to our Waterbury building. There seems to be a manifest disposition on their part to help us along with it as early as practicable. They tell me the speaker has promised to give them two or three days during bills. There will be allowed probably one day this or next week, but that viii bs occupied by postoffice bills which have already during the last session been considered by the committee of the whole house, and will not in, clude our bill, as it was moi reached under the rule adopted by the committee. The committee inform me that they will at this session change that rule and take up the most merito. rious bills first. I shall appear before the committee when such hearing is held on the merits of the different bills and urge ours upon that ground, and it might be we'll for you to be here at that time. will telegraph you if you desire as soon as the committee name time for such hearing, which may not be for some days and perhaps not until after the holidays.

 bury's Big and Long Strike.
 All the difficulties in the hating in- dustry of Danbury were finally settled Monday night when the Hat Trimmers' union at a meeting accepted the report of the joint conference committee from the Manufacturers and the Finishers and Makers associations. The agree ments settled on were made public for the first time yesterday afternoon and show a complete victory for the manu- lecturers. They require prompt re. newal of the old agreements, repeal of any of their association laws which may conflict therewlth, and the making of no laws that will interfere with the agree ments, the taking back of trimmers who seeded from the old and formed the new union without infiicting any fines and finally that a joint board of inishers and makers shall appoint from theiI association an advisory board which the trimmers shall consult before entering into any difficulty.

ANOTHER KIND OF LYMPH.

MulIein Loaf Tea Used Successfully
 on Diseased Lungs.
 The daughter of William Elerle of No 7S Asylum street, says the New Haven Register, 1.-two years ago had consump- ton in the worst form possible. Tw o doctors of this city declared the case in curable, half of her lung being gone, and she had hemorrhage of the lungs four times. MT Elerle read an article in a newspaper of a man being cured of consumption by drinking mullein leaf tea. He concluded to try the remedy. Not knowing that the mullein leaf could be bought at the drug store, he collected some leaves in winter, dried them by the stove, then made tea of it and gave his daughter from six to one dozen cups a day to drink. In about three weeks Q change in her system took place, tie hemorrhage stopped, less matter was thrown out, and in three months the patient was entirely cured, and to-day, although with but only one lung left, she is perfectly healthy and has gained hel former spirit. Any one suffering with the dreaded disease can try the remedy. If it should not do any good it certainly will not do any harm, and where it may cure one it may cure another. William Elerle will gladly verify the above and tell all he knows about the ease."

 Cowen's cantatas stThe Rose Maiden'' was presented in an almost perfect manner by the Harmonic society, in City hall last night, to an audience of about 400 people. The chorus consisted of about 175 voices, and the soloists were Miss Gaffney New Haven, soprano; Mrs Buck, Waterbury, contralto 1; Whitney Mockridge, Chicago, tenor ]; William A. Rowland, bass, the latter taking the place of B. F. Bushnell who IS suffering from cold, The orchestra, Germania of Boston, was probably the best ever heard here; the soloists did well and the chorus, under the direction of A. $. Gibson, was powerful and showed careful training. Neglect to properly advertise the event was the cause of it's financial failure.

CARVED FROM WOOD.
13 East Main St

A Wonderful Representation of the Pass sion of the Saviour.
 Hermann Jacobs, carpenter of Bunz-
 Ian, Prussia, has been credited with con-
 structing wonderful piece of mechan. ism representing in several successive scenes the passion of our Saviour. All
 the actors in the grand but beautiful drama are carved from wood, and are each about six inches in height The machinery runs by clock-work, and en. acts the various parts three times in each winding. The panorama first un- folded is beautiful garden, with a fig ure Of Jesus kneeling in prayer under one or the trees, figures of the three sleeping apostles being plain ly discernable in the distance AS the machinery warns up the wheels and the figures move more rapidly, quickly unfolding the last scenes in the earthly career of Jesus. The last supper, the betrayal, the re- mUrseful look which comes over the face of Judas when he first realizes the extent of his crime, the examination of Jesus before Caiaphas, the dialogue be- tween Pilate and the Jews-all fit be- fore the gaze in a manner so astonish- lngly Hfelilke and real as to make one almost believe himself at Calvary. After the sentence has been pro- nounced a figure of Jesus, with the cross, appears. The cross is mechanic ally erected, while the little figures busy themselves binding the figure to be nailed upon it. Ladders are run up to the arms of the cross, little figure quietly slips over the rungs, then there is sound of hammers as two figures hold the one that is being nailed to the cross by the figures on the lad ders. At last when all is thought to be finished, figure on horseback slides across the platform, draws his sword and thrusts it into the side of the figure on the cross. The last scene shows Jesus in the sepulcher with angels guarding the remains.
 MT. Adams, in his "Letters on Sile. sia," says: ''It is the most remarkable piece of mechanism have ever seen. The traitors kiss, the scourging, the mailing to the cross, the sponge of vine- gar and every seeming pain inflicted, occasion feelings which can not be felt at mere description" ."-St Louis Repub lie.

An effort was made yesterday to break the ice between Hartford and Middletown, but the heavy ice at Rocky Hill formed too big an obstruction. People are crossing the Connecticut at that point on the ice, and it will take an extended warm spell with rain to open navigation above there. The steamers will continue to run between Middle town and New York as long as possible, but it is rather improbable that they can reach Hartford again this season.
