THE UNION CAMP MEETING

At Douglas Grove-Dn the Unsectarian
 Plan-A We'll Built Tabernacle-Notes
 by . Connecticut Lady-Blshop Tay-
 Tor Of Africa to Dc Present..
 DOUGLAS, Mass, July 1S.-We have come, as many others have come to this beautiful grove in Douglas, with the anticipation of hearing, seeing and enjoying something bet ter and out of the every day course of our lives. The purpose of this union camp meeting reaches outward from sectarianism Liberal to Christ-like degree, its tenets are love and trust for all from one pure source. The workers here have just this simple motto: "The promotion of scriptural holi- ness and the conversion of the unsaved.' 7
 All denominations may freely come, sure of 8 cordial welcome.
 The plan originated with Deacon G. M. Morse of Putnam, Rev. I. T. Johnson of Webster and Deacon Lsvi Stoddard, since deceased. The grove, covering thirty acres,
 was purchased by Deacon Morse about six teen years ago, and the first meetings were
 held here soon after. Many neat cottages sion of Deacon Morse, the land on which they stand being accepted as a loan
 1 A we'll built tabernacle occupies fine knoll nearly in the center of the grounds, and numerous buildings for ths accommodation of those without cottages or tents are in close proximity. Deacon Morse and the Rev. Mir. | Johnson have built cottages for their personal | use at convenient points for overlooking and l taking general charge of the grounds. Workmen have been busy for over a week getting everything ready for the occupants 1 of cottages and tents; so that all who come may find comfortable 1odgmsnt. The tents I both large and small, will hold many hun-
 dreds.
 The course of meetings will be opened this evening by William Mcdonald, D. D., o1 Boston, president of the New England asso-
 citation. Other distinguished speakers will
 be present during the ten days of the en.
 campment, among them Bishop William Taylor from Africa, who will speak on mis
 sion work next Thursday and. Friday, and
 Rev. John Parker of Brooklyn, who speaks
 during the earlier days of next week. 1 The ground is a charming site, in healthy
 locality; gently Aoping hills, thickly wooded | with tall pines, and through them 8 clear 1 little stream winds and nipples with soft 1 undertone, in unison with the swaying pinei | dropping leaf.needles, and the mellow light l which waves and glows through every oper space.
 1 The Rev. I. T. Johnson, one of the com mittee, man of executive ability, with m
 tiring devotion to his purpose, leaves noth 1 ing undone which shall make the sixteenth year at Camp Douglas successful one l Dea. Morse is ever present, receiving witt
 genial hospitality, directing and looking tt l the comfort of his guests. E. R.

IS IT THE WORST OF Ira


 Good Judges Say There are Better
 bass Ahead for the Connecticut
 Farnef.
 Supervisor of the Census Mclaughlin thus expresses his views on what he has found in Hartford, Holland and Windham counties:
 "Informstion gathered by the census enum- orators shows that the past year has been an improbable one for farmers, chiefly because of the failure of the potato crop. And the business has dwarfed until 1t appears badly in rhe summing up. It is ebb tide with it, but better things are looked for. At the present time no investments are looked upon so auspiciously as those in farm lands in our hill towns. But good judges say that we are seeing the worst of this; that with convenient markets and the great improvements and in- creased intelligence being brought into New England farming, it will revive. Farmers are being educated for the business, and 1t only needs to popularize tito keep upon the farm the sturdy boys and girls born and reared there, but now drafted away to fill depicting ranks of the business men of our cities, to make farming what it should be-a business pursuit, profitable and honorable, like any other business. True, all the boys cannot be kept there. The fast life of the cities is wearing; new blood is needed, or at least demanded, there, and 1t is in the coun- try rather than in the city that the men of brains are Ilurtured. The farmer can spare portion of his boys, and some will have in- cllnations for the stuffY counting room rather than for the vitalizing atmosphere of the farm.
 'It is rosy picture to contemplate-the restoring of agriculture to its former high position in New England, but we may see it. It. may come through wool culture (and from less dog culture), or from some other cause, but whatever the cause, let it come. We have few real farmers now. Many who own broad acres, and call themselves farmera let their acres grow to wood and make their real business 'teaming' or some other outside business. In the census returns the amount of wages paid and of stock kept appears large compared with value of farm products, for the reason that the help and the oxen and horses have been used to earn money in other ways than by farming"

That Clergyman ssin Bonds. ,,

TO the Eultor or the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
 Sir:-In your issue of this morning your newsgatherer Cat the west shore" has par- agraph in reference to the arrest of New Haven clergy man last monday for bicycle riding in Railroad grove. As many of my friends have thought that am the clergy man indicated, hasten to assure them that it cannot be, unless the reporter has made about as many mistakes as there are state ments in his item. was not in or at Railroad grove, or even the west shore "last Monday" If was ever "arrested" in my life am not yet aware of the fact. l have never given or been asked to give tor my friends for mel ."bonds for appearance in court" or for anything else. Possibly, however, the reporter may have attempted to relate sn incident which oc cured at the place mentioned a week ago last Friday, Then entered the grove on my bicycle, but did not see the | sign, nor had heard that there was any pio- hibition to entering. There were very few people in the grove and no probability of a collision, L-rotie about one quarter of the way around by fhe "Merry go round," dis- mounted and chattsd few minutes with a friend sitting there, walked around the rest of the circle 10 near the entrance, mounted ard rode out sgsin. unconscious of violating any law or bylaw. Soon after leav- ing the grove I was stopped by a man In plain clothes, who, l suppose, was an officer. He called my attention to the sign, which I then saw and heard of for the drst time. apologized for my unintentional violation of the regulation, gave him my card aAd came away without let or hindrsnce. have since had no intimation of any further action being taken in the matter. There is all there is to an occurrence which, as usual, has been marvelously exaggerated by Dame Rumor and which doubtless your itemizer supposed he was reporting.

STATE oOHREsPONDBNCE.
North Haven.

July 19.-Something much needed in this town is places where horses being driven through the place can obtain water to drink. The towns people, perhaps, do not feel the necessity, therefore the neglect; but men do- ing business in the town, driving grocery, bakers or fish wagons from the city are much troubled and put to great inconveni- ence. A word to the wise is sufficient, and it is hoped by many that measures will be at once taken to furnish water for horses at the center or at the bridge, and that before the memorable day, July 25, 1890.
 MT. and Mrs. Fred Blakeslee are happy in the possession of son who came to their home on July 16.
 Mrs. Franklin Thorpe returned on Thurs day from Bridgeport, where she visited her sister, Mrs. Hine; her niece, Mrs. Sturtevant; and also went to Noroton to see her father, who is at the soldiers' home.
 Henry and Anna De Vine, children of J. 0. De Vine of Waterbury, are in town visit- ing their grandmother.

MY Bunch of Grasses.

To the editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Walking through the woods to my home my eyes were attracted by mass of color, a warm red brown. It proved to be but grass in its ripening state, knew, as had seen the same spot beautiful green early in the spring. When was near gathered hand ful of the graceful spikes and set me to find them fit companions.
 Low in the sand grew sturdy little clumps of grass, whose stems were adorred at the top with cluster of seed pods, but as was not botanizing called them shining nuts of green. tipped with red, and set in @ tiny whirl of points. These made 8 cheerful border for my handful of brown grasses Near them nodded pale yellow heads of wheat like grass, like slender, fair haired daughters in house full of sturdy sons. laid hold of the long stems and gathered the waving beauties to grace my bouquet.
 But the varieties were not yet exhausted. There were grasses which grew in whirls at intervals of an inch on the stem, like the first picked, but my new acquisitions were pure blondes. Even the stems as we'll as the pretty spirals were light straw color. Now I reached bed of what felt as soft under and most delicate graes l ever saw. It's stems were vivid green, yet its spirals were 50 small and dainty that single specimen looked withered and insignifcsst, but massed they looked like silvery plumes. Here are my red brown beauties little further advanced in their summers growth, for the pollen hangs like soft, white fringe from all the wee brown husks and shakes its softness over my hand as gather some.
 Look, now have five beauties of one fam fly growing in the same soil. .nourished by the same sun and dew, they reach their appointed perfection, scatter their seed and continue their species. Does not my bunch of grasses
