OLD BELLS IN NEW YORK.
Two Metal Messengers Whose Tones HAv'
 Sounded to Many Generations.

Two Metal Messengers Whose Tones Have
 Sounded to Many Generations.
 Whether it be due to patriotic or poetic instincts it Is nevertheless true that a famous old bell always arouses a reminiscent feeling. Its very presence suggests story-the glad cry of liber- ty, tho joyous peals of wedding festivi- ties, tho somber tono of funeral process sions. Weather stained and hoary, an old bell seems like messenger of fate.
 Hence it is not to be wondered at that the bell in Che yard of the Collegiate church, at Fifth avenue and Twenty ninth street, daily attracts a throng of inquiring faces, closely pressed against the high iron railing surrounding the church.
 From the quaint Latin inscription on ihe bell one learns that it was sent in l79j by tho people of Amsterdam as a gift offering to the North church in New York, then at Fulton and William streets, where it had been erected in 1928.
 Hanging high abovo the city, at Forty eighth street and Fifth avenue, is another link that binds us to the past. This great bell bears this Dutch inscrip- tion:
 Fen leegat aan dc \ ,ederdeutsche kirke, New York, 173I.'
 It appears from the old will of Colo mel Abraham de PeySter that he ordered bell to be madc in Holland for the Middle church, then occupying the site of the old fort at the Battery. The peo- Il ~DR I~l1o | l thus remembered by one of their num- | Der in America that a great number of | coins were thrown into the smelting pot which contained the metal for the bell as an evidence of their apprecia- 1 tion. During the Revolution the Middle | church was pU: to strange uses Re moving the pulpit, gallery, pews and | flooring, tho British dragoons converted it into a riding academy.
 John Oothout was granted permission from Commander in Chief Lord Howe | to remove the De Peyster bell to a place of safety. Accordingly, in the most un- obtrusive manner possible. the bell was sent 10 Chambprshurg, Pa. | When peace was restored, the bell was hung in the steeple of tho Middle church, afterward leased to thu federal | government for postoffice purposes. and which many remember as tho old Post office building. A little more journey ing and the De Peyster bell reached it's l present haven.
 The Collegiate consistory carefully preserve the relics of their several churches. A pewter plate bearing the date li6o and giving history of the old North church is slowed away with a charter granted ill l696 by William III empowering them to incorporate themselves ill New York. Here. too. is zealously guarded the old will of John Harpending. now yellow with age, bcqueathing. in l133, much of his land To the Collegiate corporation. New York Herald

The Courtshlp of Mile. s..na..A.

Encouraged by the hearty welcome given to these two American poems. Longfellow, in 1858, published third, The Courtship of Miles Standish. |" In this he told no pathetic tale of part ed lovers, nor did he draw on the quaint lore of the red men. He took his story from the annals of his own ancestors, the sturdy founders of New England. As it happened, he himself (like his fel. low poet, BryRnt) was a direct descend ant of John Alden and Priscilla, the Puritan maiden. whose wooing he mar rated.

AS TO A CHARTER.

AS TO CHARTER.
 The last move of the charter makers proves what the DEMOCRAT has all along claimed, that certain republican politicians, who were pushing the matter. had an object in view other than the welfare of the peo- pie. The very fact that the scheme of consol- lation was abandoned, because the right of the citizens of Waterbury to vote on mat ter so deeply affecting their interests was rec' guIzed by the legislative committee. shows the charter makers up in theiI true colOrB.
 Ks matters now stand only a city charter will be asked for and the committee has allowed until next Thursday for it's prepara- ton. With all due regard for the intelli- gence and capacity for hard labor of the men who have the work in hand the DEN. ocRAT would suggest that the charter that can be brought forth in a week must be . hodge-podge. There is De crying need for a new charter. The one we are at present living under is not SO bad after all and no one will suffer if it is allowed to exist for a while longer; say until the next session Of the legislature.
 The DEMOCRAT holds that the Eeepls should be consulted in matters of this kind, aud any attempt to railroad a char ter for the city through the legislature should be opposed as vigorously as was the consolidation scheme. It is proposed to abolish the board of couRcilmen. al. though 1t is dollars SO douGhnuts that the majority of the people are opposed to this pan. The lower board is necessary to good government. Would anybody think of abolisbing the national or state house of representatives? Surely not. And the court of common council is to the city what these bodies are to the state and country. To abolish it would not do away with deadlocks. for under the proposed charter the mayors nominations might be blocked by the board of aldermen.
 Mayor Kilduff should oTpose any at- tempt to rush city charter through the les sislature Let us wait awhile and take the public into confidence.

outward. Two adjusting chains limit the outward swing when the cart is used as 0 spreader.
 Steel wings are attached to either side of the cart at the tailboard for the pur- pose of spreading the stone to the entire width of the track of wheels. The stone as it escapes from the cart is leveled by means of steel scraper attached to tho bottom of the tailboard.
 This scraper is pivoted at the center and is adjustable at either end by means of a horizontal lever on back of tail board. This feature is of great value, as in the construction of stone streets it is necessary in many cases to spread thicker in the middle of the road thasl at the sides. If the scraper was stationary, this could not be done, but as it is adjust able it can be spread thicker on one side than on the other. This adjustable scraper will also be found very useful when it is desired to spread but half the width of the cart Thus, if the road to be constructed is l2 feet in width, the smaller size cart will spread to width of five feet, and it will readily be seen that after the cart has spread two widths there will be two feet of roadway yet to spread, or three feet less than the width of the cart By adjusting the scraper and driving one wheel on the stone al- ready spread about three feet from the edge the remaining two feet can be easily spread. d.-Gnod Roads

 and at Small Expense.
 The dUmping and spreading of broken stono arc usually attended with cloud of fine dust, which is blown into neigh boring residences and settles on furni- .ure, resulting in considerable annoy tnce and damage. Tho finest particles sf stuno and dust not blown away will settle at the bottom of tho pile. making 1t impossible to spread tho Stono uni formly, thus defeating one of tho main principles of stone road construction- viz, tho proper distribution of the ma terial on all parts of the roadway.
 Tho improved distributing cart over comes all of theso obstacles effectually. It is dump cart mounted upon four wheels. The weight is well distributed on both front and rear wheels, thus avoiding either upward or downward pressure on the team. The tilting of the cart is effected by crank and gear mechanism in connection with q rack and pinion, which not only renders easy the tilting of a heavy load, but is also of great advantage when it is desired to load the cart with shovels, as the cart can be firmly held in any position from level to completely dumped.
