after their receipt into four equal shares,
being given to Mrs. Fitch, Mrs Lieu
tenant rhackers, Father Thomas Sher-
man. and P. r. Sherman, the four chill

amounted in value Of $4,000, in all
$4,000.
Mrs. Fitch said the whole collection
would probably soon pass out of the

herself, few weeks ago, authorized a
relative in New York city to place uoon
the market her share Of the diamonds
Mrs Thackcr has made known also a
similar desire, but no intimation of the

the family has been given.
Mrs. Fitch said her reasons for dis

hand, she was controlled entirely by cir
cumstances Of DO interest to the public

The origin of the word dun" As APP
piled to our well-known system of col
Letting debts, is said to be as follows: =
During the reign of King Henry VIII,
Of England, there was bailif by the
ma ne of Joe Dunn, who a'tsined quite
a reputation as a collector of bad debts.
When every other resort had failed,
creditors would threaten to send Dunn
after their delinquents. His reputation
for hanging around and making debtors
tired of life was such that threat to
send him usually had the desired effect.

There have been frequent discussions
on the subject of convict labor, in rela-
ton to our industrial interests, and it is
now asserted ID good authority that the

practically ruined in this country by
Austrian goods made by convic's In
Austria there are AS button factories,
employing thousands of workmen, over
5000 of whom are conyiets An Aus
TRAN law prohibits the-salo in that coun-

these goods which cost almost nothing
for labor have been so largely imported
into this country as to ruin our home

being the carrying on: Of the request of
Henry Meyer, who died on February
18th, that his ashes be scattered to the
winds from the top of the Statute of

to the crcmatory by brass band that
played nothing but cheerful music, and
in pursuance Of his dying request his
ashes, except a small part that was Civ
en- to his sister, we're turned over TO a
committee of four from Staten Island
Schutzea Corps who carried out his
wishes on Sunday. When the top of
the pedestal was reached by the COM
mittce the metal urn containing the
ashes Of Meyer was opened, and each
committeeman put a portion Of the con-
tents, which weighed about four pounds
into a paper bag The delegation then
climbed the staircase leading to the
crown Of the statue. where a brief ad-
dress was made By the D. kussre-
'.rvurv-, ut,vr wnIcrfsrTc = ecr-
men, each holding one of Gags con

While enroute home yesterday Co. E
was met at Milton by the band of that
city and large concourse of citizens.
To show their appreciation of the COM
pliment, Capt. McQuarrie ordered the
company out and paraded the princi-
pal streets and put them through a
number of military movements. The
company again boarded the train with
three cheers for Milton and Milton S
band.
AS last evenings train rolled into
the city with Co. ''E'' on board large
assemblage of people were congregated
at the station to bid the boys a royal
welcome home from weeks absence
at the state encampment. Although
the boys did not look so bright and
clipper as When they boarded the train
week ago, they presented much
more soldierly appearance with their
sunburnt faces and soiled uniforms,
and as they marched up Main street
keeping time to the martial music of
the city band our citizens felt justly
proud Of their boys knowing that if
sterner duties were ever required of
the state militia, Co. E would not be
last to the front. A sad reminder of
the fatal accident which deprived the
company of one of it's most popular
members, aweek ago, was band of
Grape on each mans arm, which Col.
Miller ordered the company to wear
for thirty days out of respect for their
dead comrade, Mr.. Langan.
After putting the company through
the manual of arms Capt. McQuarrie
dismissed the boys with three cheers
for the city band and a "tiger" Lang
don, Which compliment was returned
with vigor.
