OLD NEW ENGLAND.

The death of Robert C. Winthrop at IS, a
man who had personally known every
president of the United States save Wash
ington and Jefferson, and might have met
Jefferson, for Winthrop was student at
Harvard when Jefferson died, rsminds Us
that old New England has given birth to a
long list of sterling statesmen, scholars,
soldiers, seamen, orators, poets and men of
letters.
New England was not the oldest of our
American colonies. and yet she has been
the most prolific as the birth place of the
largest number of great historic Ameri-
cans. If We call the roll of statesmen
and orators. we have Franklin, Sam
Adams, John Adams, James Otis, John
Quincy Adams, Rufus King. Fisher
Ames. Daniel Webster. Edward Everett.
Rufus Choate, Charles Summer. Wendell
Phillips, John A. Andrew. Horace Gree
ley, Henry j. Raymond and Thad
Stevens. If We recite the great names Of
literature, we have Jonathan Edwards,
Beeoher, Lowell. Bryant. Longfellow,
Holmes. Whittier. Psrkman. Motley,
Thoreau, Bancroft and Prescott.
Among the brilliant men of the South
were George ID. Prentice. Albert Pike and
S. s. Prentiss, all New England born and
bred, as was Stephen A. Douglas, of ILL
nois.
OF the lesser New England lights might
be named William NJ. Evarts, George r.
Edmunds. Rev. DIR. Richard s. Storrs. the
late Rev. DIR. Shedd and Judge L. r.
uoAr.
Ii we go beyond New England and trace
the ancestry of the political minds of the
Middle and Western states, we shall find
that their distinguished men are either
New England born or were born of New
England parents. President Arthur was
New England born and bred; President
Hayes came of New England stock,
50 did President Garfield; Grant
aud Sherman came Of Connecticut stock
which emigra.ed 10 Ohio. Gems. Isaac I.
Stevens. Grover, Hooker, Couch, Porter,
Charles p. Stone. Ingalls, and E. V. Sum-
ner we're New England born and bred go
were Gems. Howard, Mower, Hazen. STAN
nard. Ames, Eustis, Stevenson, Chamber
lain. Gordon and Devens.
The New England strain of blood is the
lsaven Of the whole Northern lump, and
patriotic people, whether born East or
West. can afford TO swell the chorus:
"Hurrsh for old New England
Aud her cloud-capPSd granite hIlla"

So far as returns have been received the
communities affected by the proposition
to consolidate the outlying cities with the
metropolis into a Greater New York have
voted IN favor of the proposition. The ma
jority in the city Of Brooklyn was small.
amounting 20 little under 400. That in
New York was considerably larger, num-
bering over II, 000 The votes cast upon the
question form only small proportion
of those cast for state officers. yet the fact
remains that of those cast consolidation
received majority. This amounts simply
TO q declaration of opinion upon the
question OF consolidation, and TO make
the project fact action By the legislature
is required. A bill will be ut once pre-
pared for submission TO the legislature
which will carry consolidation into
effect. IL will be q matter OF some
difficulty to prepare q plan OF gov
eminent for such an immense and at
present heterogeneous q municipality az
that which is to rise from the union of the
cities lying about New York, but the task
Is rendered easier by the fact that the
localities themselves have declared in

will have the bill in charge, 80 that an op-
portunity for . general expression OF

THE DEAD BAB K.

Last night, as my dear babe lay dead,
la agony knelt and said:
20 Godl what have done,
Or in what wise offended Thee,
That Thou should'st take away from me
My little SOM
"Upon the thousand useless lives,
Upon the guilt that Wanting thriyes,
1hy wrath were better spenti
Why should'st Thou take my little SOM
Why shouId'st Thou vent Thy wrath upon
This inuocent?"
Last night, as my dear babe lay dead,
Before mine eyes the vision spread
OF things that might have beens
Licentious riot, cruel strife,
Forgotten prayers, a wasted lie
DARK red With sin!
Then, with soft music in the air,
saw another vision there;
A shepherd, in whose keep
A little lsmo. my little child,
OF worldly wisdom undealed,
Lay tast asieepl
Last night, SIS my dear babe lay dead,
In those two messages / read
A wisdom manifest;
And, though my arms be childless now,
am content, 20 Him bow,
Who knoweth best.

500 A DAY on THE BOOM.
How Six Men Made Big Wages on
the West Branch.

ct must tell you how we got ahead
of the professional divers who were
here in the 1889 food The Pennsyl-
vania railroad run lot of loaded
freight cars up their Linden branch the
day of the food and put them on
Linden bridge to anchor it. Some of
the ears were loaded with steel made
the very day before at Johnstown
The whole lot went through the bridge
to the bottom of the river and the rail-
road company asked us if we could get
lit I'D. We agreed to do the job for SIS
a ton. but they thought the price was
too high and hired two divers 1t $25 a
day, to say nothing Of the extra crew
they had to assist in the operation Of
rowing them about, letting them down
and up and pumping air to them. After
working two weeks the divers recover
ed two tons of steel and some barbed
wire.
1T was beautiful steel, in long, thin
bars, for making knives, forks, cutlery,
etc. but when they got it UP it was
found to be dirty with sand, which
they failed to remove before raising it,
and they had bent and twisted it all
out of shape. The railroad company
was disgusted. They came to US again
and told us TO go ahead, saying they
would lend us their divers into the bar
gain We told EN- we didn't want
their divers, but they sent EN- any
how. and we didn't object, of course,
but sawed wood. At o'clock in the
morning six Of US took the steam pile
ldriver-as the boom company had no
use for it that day-and went to work.
The cars were down in sixteen feet of
water.
"As we were preparing to drop a
heavy chain to get hold of the sunken
cars the divers arrived. One of them
began to put on his suit, and said:
Quick as l get this OH I'll go down
with your tackle. Get your chain
ready 1 stepped off and went to the
bottom When | came up that chain
was securely fastened to one end of the
car. The diver by this time lad his
rubber suit and brass shoes on. and ne
yelled for the chain. says, The
Ichains on the car now You never
see a fellow SO done out as he was
The divers fooled around there a few
hours, and then went back to town.
well, we had all that steel-forty-
three tons of it-straight and clean on
the bank where the railroad people
could load it on their cars by O'clock
that night. How did we do it? This
way: After got the chain under one
end of the car, as l told you, we raised
