WASHINGTON.

WELL KNOWN WASHINGTON HOME
STEAD.
With the thermometer dancing merrily
about the figures of 102 degrees in the
shade, the writer was very glad to ac-
cept the cordial invitation of Sherman
Hartwell, of Hedge Lawn farm, to come
in and rest awhile, as he was passing on
one of the recent burning September
days. The host, with cordial hospital
ity, proceeded t. provide spread of
lucious melon, which was appreciated.
Within the last year or two MIR Hartwell
has improved his place by the addition
of piazza on the east facing the street.
Directly at the corner of the house is Ian
immense maple, which is probably rs or
so years old. This insures a cool and
delightful resting place on warm day.
Mr. Hartwell's homestead, as is we'll
known, is situated on hill over looking
the Shepaug valley. Some 80 years ago
he set out an evergreen hedge about his
place, and has kept it in fine order. He
employs a gentleman to clip it every
year or two who made this business his
means of getting livelihood in England.
Near his barn he has grove of pines,
and from this point the view of the val
ley is superb. Seats are arranged here,
and it is favorite resting place on q
/ warm day. Mr. Hartwell has appropri
ately christened his place, "Hedge
Lawn" farm. This farm has been in the
Hartwell family for generations, his
father, Daniel, and grandfather, Isaac
living on the same spot. Mr. Hartwel
has an interest in Roxbury as well, hi'
wife being the daughter of Rev MI
lsham, for 25 years pastor of the Con
gregational church in that town, ant
who still lives on his place in the nortl
part of Roxbury. Mr. Hartwell take
pleasure in keeping the grounds abou
his place IN fine order, and has a foun
tain on the grounds. He still keeps vi
his interest in poultry and calculates a
usual to carry off the prizes the coming
winter.

John 6. Carlisle, while serving as a
representative Of the people of Ken
lucky, made the following speech in
the house of representatives against
the characterization of silver on the
21st day of February, 1878:
According to my view of the sub
ject, the conspiracy which seems to
have been formed here and in Europe
to destroy by legislation and otherwise,
from three-sevenths to one-balf of the
metallic money of the world is the
most gigantic crime Of this or any
other age. The consummat alton of such
a scheme would ultimately entail more
misery upon the human race than all
the wars. pestilenee. and famine that
ever occurred in the history of the
world. The absolute and instaDeouS
destruction of half the movable pro-
perty of the world, including houses,
ships, railroads, and all other appli-
ances for carrying on commerce, while
it would be felt more sensibly at the
moment, would not produce anything
like the prolonged distress and disor-
~ganization of society that must in
evltably result from the permanent an
Inhalation Of one.half of the metallic
money Of the world. With an ample
currency, and industrious and frugal
people viii speedily rebuild their
works of internal improvement and re-
pair losses of property, but no amount
Of industry or economy on the part of
the people can create money. When the
government creates it or authorizes it
the citizen may acquire il, but he can
do nothing more"
