returned and built house and dug well
every we'll in New England has a sort of
historic individuality, finland received
from the state a grant of land which the
local surveyor told me he had tried 30 locate,
but had failed, because the description ran
from "a pine tree at the edge of the lake
to a rock on the mountain side" ETC., but
tits certain that Ethan Allen did live here.
But what of the conservatism that
spoke of? Well, found the typical New
England conservative for whom I was
looking embalmed in rock near the top
of TOMS Mount. Cut by nature on a cor
ner of a huge stone was human face as
characteristic of the representative freeman
of Lakeville as human chisel could have
made it-a conservative of the conserva-
tives, unchanging as eternity, as progress
i've as the mountain itself.
The Lakevillians of whom this rock
ribbed-a nd-ancient-as-the-sun citizen is
type have lived here all their lives. Few
of them have been as far as New York,
three or four have visited Hartford and a
number have been to Litchfieid, the county
seat. Their fathers and grandfathers and
great-grandfathers and great-great-grea
grandfathers were here before them. OF
the bulk of property around here there has
never been a transfer, it having been
handed down from one generation to
another "all in the family"
But for the excessive conservatism of
these Lakevilhans Lakeville might now be
famous and all its original proprietors
rich. Years ago Henry Ward Beecher
came here, looked up everything that was
lovely, and loved it and wrote about it, as
was his wont, for he had a whole range of
mountains in his head and many oceans in
his soul. Said Beecher of Lakeville and its
environs in his Star papers:
On either side, to the east and to the west,
ever varying mountain forms frame the hor-
lion. There is CONSTANT succession of hills
swelling into mountains, and of mountains
flowing down into hills. The hues of green in
trees, in grasses, and in various harvests, are
contrasted. There are no forests so
beautiful as those made up of both evergreen
and deciduous trees.
OF Sage's ravine and Bash Bish, a wild
ravine with mad water at its bottom,
Beecher wrote:

Useful Points for People I'm Search of
Culture and Polish.
The following, from answers given to
correspondents in Harper's Bazaar, cover
just such points Us many people are inter-
ested in:
While the use of "for" or ito" before
the name addressed upon an envelope is
not distinctly bad FORM" it is certainly
unnecessary, and lessons the elegant ap-
pearance of a more simple form of ad-
dress 1t Is certainly not nice form to offer
the left hand To an acquaintance while the
right Is of possible use.
The receipt Of the card from your sum-
mer acquaintance leaves you precisely as if
she had given You the card in exchange for
yours last summer. Ii you desire to con-
tlnue the acquaintance, and are the
younger woman, call upon her; if not, wait
for her to call upon you.
OF all things be simple, quiet and natu
raj IN your manner; cultivate soft toned
voice, and do not gesticulate; speak good
English before you attempt French; the
latter Is an accomplishment, the former \
necessity.
An afternoon tea is the most informal of
entertainments You may serve your tea
IN special room or all about. as Won find
most convenient Serve small napkins
with the tea
A young girl is not supposed to do any
entertaining in her own name. unless pos
sibly an informal affair where only other
young girls are invited.
Never ask a man twice to call upon YOU.
III he does not accept your first invitation
take 1t for granted that he does not care to
do so.
1t Is better form TO ask for a card for
your guest although you may take her to
q tea without that formality.
On reception day or at tea you should
leave your cards in the card tray in the
hall on your departure.
A lady should rise to greet a gentleman
or TO BID him farewell in her own house.
Ihe proposal TO correspond should come
from the gentleman.
NO call is necessary in acknowledgment
OF an afternoon tea.
"A card left or sent to tea discharges the
obligation.

Wrinkles,

Wrinkles are unnecessary, says an author
ywho finds the secret for preventing them
in widely opened childlike eyes" The act
of opening widely the upper lid draws the
skin about the lower part of the eye taut
and smooth.
A golden rule to prevent wrinkles: Be
not unduly elated, neither be cast down;
emulate the sister of charity and be always
placid.
Keeping the temples and muscles about
the eyes well bathed with almond meal
and olive oil. taking care to rub crosswise
of the wrinkles, is perhaps the best "slow
but sure" remedy in existence.
A silken handkerchief bound together
about the brow and temple is an old and
good way to iron out wrinkles made by

The Tonic Eject of Bathing.

The tonic effect of bathing is caused by
the contraction of the surface blood YES
sells, which drives the blood back to the
larger blood vessels and the heart. These
react and send the blood rushing back TO
the skin, causing the glow which follows
the bath, or ought to follow it, the free res
piration and the vigorous feeling of the
muscular system. The bath should al
ways be followed by friction with the hand,
q brush or a towel. The frequency with
which it should be taken depends entirely
on circumstances. 1t should be often
enough TO keep the pores open and the skin
clean; for the skin does one-third of the
breathing, and if it is clogged the lungs
must do the work, and they will be over
burdened. As rule the more rapidly
bath is taken the better will be its effects.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF MANCHESTER.
came lord of the admiralty; in 1866 he
was secretary of war, and from 1868 to
1871 he was postmaster general. His
last political distinction was his appoint
ment as chairman of the new labor COM
mission.
During all this time he remained true
to his early attachment When the old
Duke Of Manchester died, a year ago, it
was whispered that it would not be long
before the marquis would lead the duch-
ess to the altar. Great preparations are
being made for the marriage, which will
take place in June The marquis is very
wealthy. Chatsworth, the family seat
in Derbyshire, is one of the most mag
nifcent of England's stately homes. 1t
has been occupied very little since the
ancestral turf covered the remains of
Lord Frederick Cavendish, who was as
sassinated in Phoenix park, Dublin.

Cannon is well known society leader
of considerable wealth, and has achieved
some reputation as sculptor, painter

years old, and has q very pleasing face
She is blonde, rather under the medium
height, with slender, graceful figure.
While nominally Detroit girl, she has
lived great deal in New York, where
she has the reputation Of exquisite taste
in the selection of bail and street gowns.
Ia fact, many say she is the best dressed
woman in society circles.

ALCOHOL AND DIGESTION.
Experiments Showing That Alcohol May
Hasten the Digestive Process.

Experiments Showing That Alcohol May
Hasten the Digestive Process.
A physician has recently made some ex-
periments on himself, from which, accord
ing to the Medical and Surgical Reporter,
further knowledge of the effect of alcohol
on digestion is obtained, which contrasts
strongly with the teetotal lecturers expert
ments showing how digestion in glass
vessel is retarded by alcohol. DR.. Eichen-
berg found that a small dose of strong
alcohol-e. G., brarHy-shortens the time
that food in general, whether animal
or vegetable, or a mixture, remains in
the stomach by more than half an hour.
A similar but not quite so marked an
effect is produced by a dose of diluted
hydrochloric acid or mustard. Pepper and
condurango diminish the time the food re-
mains in the stomach by about aquarter of
an hour. Beer and an infusion of rhubarb
had no effect.

TWONOTABLE WEDDINGS
AN ENGLISH MARQUIS WHO HAS
PROVED A CONSTANT LOVER.

After Forty Years. Delay He Will Es-
pouse the Woman Who Charmed His
Youthful Fancy-CostIy Gifts for New
York Bride.
Probably the most famous bride Of the
present London season will be the
Dowager Duchess of Manchester, who is
to wed the Marquis of Harrington. The
duchess is ffty-five years old, well pre-
served, clever and brilliant; the marquis
is ffty-eiGht, of very distinguished
appearance, and one of the foremost
statesmen in the British empire. While
be is cold and unenthusiastic in politics
he has been patient and exemplary
lover. Many years ago he was the
accepted sutton of the duchess, who was
then the Countess Louise Frederick
Augusta, daughter OF the Count of Alien,
Hanover. In those days, however, Lord
Harrington was more anxious TO become
poet than a statesman, and ne SO dis
appointed his lady loves ambition that
she discarded him and welded the Duke
of Manchester, who was ten years his
senior.
This was a sad blow to the romantic
Harrington, but it spurred him to take
more active part in public affairs. He
rose rapidly IN politics. In 1868 he be-

Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-08-19
AN OLD TROUBLE.

A recent real estate transaction in the
vicinity of Chicago has a bearing of in
terest to Pittsburg. This is the purchase
of $50 acres of land on the Calumet river
Just over the Indiana line, at cost of
1852, 600. which will be occupied by an eX-
tensive iron works. 1t is pertinent for
Pittsburg to inquire how, with The we'll
known advantages of this locality for iron
manufacture, an enterprise of such mag
nitude should come to spend so much
money for site near Chicago.
Fifteen or sixteen years ago it was quite
common to hear of iron establishments To-
eating away from Pittsburg. The rail-
way determinations against Pittsburg so
completely neutralzed its advantages as
manufacturing point that industries, en-
ploying tens of thousands of men which
should naturally have come here, went to
points where they had railway competi
ton between 1873 and 1879. The opening
of competing railway lines corrected the
wrong, and the period of growth for Pitts
burg thus commenced was prolonged by
the natural gas era. The temperance of
the location of big works elsewhere should
lead Pittsburg to inquire whether the old
influences are regaining their force.
The fact is that the old trouble is re-
vived in a modified form. Other points
which have railway competition alone
have no vital advantage over us, because
while the combination is somewhat closer
here than elsewhere the railways give our
manufacturers the slight advantages of a
recognized competitive point. But it is
where water transportation is effective
that the influence is felt which neutral
lies our immense advantages as an indus
trial center 1t is Chicagos command of
the lakes that permits her to cherish tie
hope of rivaling Pittsburg in iron manu-
facture and makes us hear of the location
of new works there on large scale.
Of course, this leads up to remedy; and
the statement of the case shows what the
remedy is. The enterprise which will
bring lake transportation to Pittsburg
will join unequaled transportation facilt-
ties to her other unquestioned advantages.
1t needs the Ohio River and Lake Erie
Canal to maintain and expand the indus
trial supremacy of Western Pennsylvania.

ABACRNUMBER PROPOSITION.

1t is not to be wondered at that the in
telligent expression of opinion among the
colored people of this country and es-
pecially Of the South, upon the revival of
the proposition for the general COLOMBIA
tion of the race in Liberia, should forcibly
and Indignantly repel the idea. The
colonization sheme might have had its
merits in the dark ages before the war.
To-day it is distinctly medieval in its es-
sential characteristics
If any Of the colored people of the
United States are inspired with the mis-
sionary spirit Of building up civilization in
Liberia or any other part of Africa, it will
be laudable undertaking. But the idea,
that there should be general transplan-
tatiOn of the negroes of the South to
another continent, is a remarkable sur
yival Of ancient stupidity. The negroes
Of the South are its natural and acclimated
laboreTS. They are necessary to its pro-
greSS, and its progress is necessary to
them. Beyond that their progress during
the quarter of century is wonderfully
creditable alike TO themselves and this
nation. Notwithstanding the drawbacks
created by ancient predjudice, political
feuds and their own ignorance, the pro-
GresS of the Southern negroes in education,
industry and the acquisition of property
has been unequaled by any other emanci-
Tated race in the same time There is just
the same reason for saying that all citizens
OF German descent must be sent back to
Germany; that those Of Irish descent must
60 back to Africa, and those of English
extraction to England, as for saying that
the cOlored people must go back to Africa

Objectionable Compliment.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Is it not about time that the terms gal
liant" "brave," "dashiDg" and like compli-
mentary qualifying expressions as applied
to individuals in the war for the Union be
used less indiscriminately? At best, very
frequently, courage in war means, when ana
lyzed, that the person had not activity of
brain sufficiently to comprehend danger.
But this aside, what refer to more espe-
cially are the illusions to Mosby, inciden al
TO the "Shoebox" Miller episode His war
service is (as has been the case in every
reference l have seen to him in years) de-
scribed with superabundance of superla-
tives, while in fact he avoided
q fight whenever possible. and
.'Mosby's mare" was synonym
in the Potomac army for speed in getting
away from an enemy. l was down in the
region that he had charge of for sometime
in 1854 and can recall only once that he was
brought to square fight (by reason of the
fact that he could not get away without it)
and he was whipped from beginning to end.
1t was one of those very odd Condolences in
which the combatants were squarely match
ed as to numbers, there having been n few
over 100 guerillas and the same number of
the Eigth Illinois Cavalry. The result was
that y Of Mosby's men brought in prisoners.
Mosby's fast mare saved his personal bacon.
