THE JOURNAL THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1879. FRANK. ASHLEY, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. Established 1868. -The expenses of the Zulu war amount to $22,500,000.

-The Fairfield Co. Fair at Norwalk-is open. See adv't. Don't miss it. -A press of advertising obliges us to omit a large amount of editorial, local and out-of-town news prepared for this issue.

-We print on the first page Dr. Baird's ser: mon, on the "Sabbath." It is well-worth careful perusal, and the distinguished source fromwhich it emanates, guarantees it warm reception by our people. The Press. The Providence, R. Daily Journal appears in a "spick-span" new dress.

The new type is neat, distinct and pretty. The Journal is one, of the indispensable institutions of "Little Rhoda." as well as its pride and boast. Mr. D. F.

Hayden, of the Daily, Press, R.I, has been selected as Assistant Editor on the Woonsocket Patriot. Mr. I. has by hard work, steady application and faithfulness, worked himself up to his present excellent position, from that of an office boy. The Stamford Advocate celebrated its Fiftieth Anniversary by putting in a new Hoe press, now type and other improvements.

As we have often said before, the Advocate is a reliable, well edited and highly respectable newspaper, credit to Stamford and its gentlemanly proprietors. By- the by, people are rapidly learnZing to stick by old established and responsible newspapers and giving the cold shoulder to the unprofessional, unreliable block-heads, too many of whom have crowded themselves into the newspaper arena. The Advocate, though 50 years old, is one of the brightest, newsiest and spiciest newspapers which reaches our sanctum. The Democratic Convention which recently met 'at Syracuse nominated all the present State officials with the exception. of the Lient.Governor, Mr.

Dorsheimer being superseded by Hon. Clarkson N. Potter, ex-Congressman from this District; the following is the ticket: For -Lucius Robinson, of for Lieut. N. Potter, of Westchester; for Secretary of C.

Beach, of Jefferson; for Comptroller-Frederick P. Olcott, of Albany; for Treasurer Mackin, of Dutchess Augustus Schoonmaker, of Ulster; for State Engineer and Surveyor-Horatio Seymour, of Oneida. CONGRESS. The Circuit Court of the United States for the Second Judicial District met on Saturday for the appointment of Supervisors of Election for the coming clection of a Congressman in the XIIth Congressional District, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Alexander Smith, of Yonkers, who died on the niglit of his election. Judge Choate has been designated by the Court to appoint fifty-four visors.

Notwithstanding the neglect of gress at its last session to make the necessary appropriation, a suflicient number of deputy marshals will be appointed to protect the interests of the people. 'The Greenback District Convention nominnted the Hon. Samuel Conover, of the TwentyThird Ward of the City of New York, as their candidate for the coming campaign. Mr. Conover is at present one of the Park Commissioners, and a man" who wields considerable influence in his section.

For the Democratic nomination, Hon. Waldo Hutchings, of Yonkers, looms up prominently. Mr. Hutchings is a lawyer of some repute and is warmly endorsed by his neighbors. There are other candidates spoken of, but it seems as though the gentleman above named would lead his competitors.

It appears as though the triangular fight of last year is to be renewed. The Republicans will, doubtless, with the prestige of their last victory, place a strong man in the field. A lively canvass all around may be expected, and as nt the close of the last election it will be impossible to predict who is likely to warm the vacant seat in the National House, until the last vote is counted. THE POLITICAL MUDDLE. The recent Democratic State Convention, nt Syracuse, as was expected, ended in a "split." Mr.

John Kelly, of New York, who by divine right, we suppose, controls the votes of the democratic masses of that much metropolis, as he thinks, became dissatisfied when he saw that the nomination of Gov. Robinson was'inevitable and straightway hoisted the black flag, and headed by a brave of the Tuscarora tribe named Augustus Schell, marched out of the Convention breathing streaks of sulphuric vapors and eternal dam-damages to the Sage of Greystone, Sam'l Tilden, and swift destruction to Lucius Robinson. The seceders afterwards met in Shakespeare Hall, and with tragic effect nominated their chosen Grand Sachem for Governor. This was followed by the usual donning of paint, war dance, and the digging up of the hatchet, and taking up of the trail. The little family quarrel seems to afford much merriment to the Greenbacker, Republican and Prohibitionist, who with the knowing wink of the sly old fox, see no obstruction between them and the fat spoils of office.

Yet, gentlemen of the knowing leer, do not be too previous," lest after the ballots are polled you shall find yourselves in the predicament of the fellow who undertook to restore peace between man and wife. Athletic Notes. The unusual interest manifested in athletic sports for some months past has been surprising. New clubs and associations are springing up in all parts of the country, and ere many years our youpg amateurs will. excel the trained athletes of the Old World in all field and outdoor sports.

At Rye, the young men of the village have organized an excellent club, the material of its compositon being both select and plentiful. A A splendid track, one-fifth of a mile, with a "straightaway" of 150 yards, twenty-five feet wide, is in the course of construction on the road loading to Rye Beach. It is proposed to hold the first aud Fall games about the first of October or November. The superintendence of the improvement is under the Executive Committee of the club and is composed of three members, whom it is certain will neglect nothing that may tend to perfect and make good their track and grounds. Cinders have been ordered from the Abendroth Foundry, and ere long the boys will be spinning around in their practice exercises.

We shall give the names of the officers, trustees and executive committee of the club as soon as they are authoritatively transmitted. At Stamford another new club has been organized under the, name of the Stamford Athletic Club. Their first games will be held on Thursday, October 2nd, 1879, at Woodside Park, when the following events, open to ally amateurs, will be contested 100 yards dash; one-half mile. run; running broad jump; tug. of- teams of four; one mile wAlk, also nine events for club championships.

Medals will be giyen to first in each event. Entries close Sept. 27. Admission to the grounds will be by tickets, which, can be obtained free of charge, of any member. A.

F. Scofield is Secretary of the club. The Westchester Athletic Club has been well-nigh dismembered by the dissatisfaction caused by the admission of unworthy members into its ranks. Those members whose resignations were reluctantly sent in, propose to resume their allegiance, providing the club is reorganized on a permanent only be accomplished by the adoption of rigid constitution and by laws, that will make it impossible for any rejected candidate to over ride a majority by a "snap" election. The shallow pretense and hollow mockery of those individuals who have shirked their responsibilities to the club, may rest assured that their nets are anything but those of upright mep and savors strongly of the practised cheat.

By "shirking" reference is made to those who are indebted to the club, not those who resigned. But luckily there is vitality enough left to set the ball in motion once more. A re-organend ization meeting Will be held to-night, when it is probable plans will be devised to pay off the small debt of the club and start on, a solid basis. The liberal support extended the Rye Athletic Club by gentlemen of Rye, should be an incentive to the solid men to get up a "boom" for the Port Chester athletes. It is indeed a sore disappointment to those sore heads who plotted the destruction of the W.

A. C. to sce it revive despite their cowardly thrusts. Yet 'tis a Stubborn fact! H. URDLE.

ORGAN -A larger audience than usual, among whom we noticed several ladica from Port Chester, attended the organ recitalon Saturday last notwithstanding the threatening weather, and were rewarded with a fine programme finely played.

Prof. Browne deserves great praise, not less for the judgment he displays in the selection of the music, than for his able execution of it, and Saturday's selection and performance were no exceptions to the rule. The pieces Father whose Almighty power," See the Conquering Hero," and Sing unto God," all from Judas Mnecabaeus were given with great power and spirit, offering marked contrast to Mendelssohn's soft, delicate and melodious, "Song without words" and "Nocturne" (from the Midsuminer's Night's dream music), both of which were played with exquisite taste and feeling. The Wedding March" from the same work, and a slow movement by Hummel followed and were very artis. tically rendered.

The march and bridal chorus from Wagner's Lohengren admirably given brought this delightful entertainment to a close. Mamaroneck. ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE OF MAILA. MAILS CLOSE. MAILS ARRIVE.

The attention of any one needing anything in the stove line is called to the stock of stoves kept by Walter Leonard, embracing cooking and heating stoves, which he is selling at reduced figures. James Burtis, of Mamaroneck, against whom the Grand Jury of Westehester County found and indictn.ent for assault and battery, on com: plaint of Mr.

O. E. Clark, has furnished bail to the amount of $950 to appear for trial. COURT. -Anthony Kravet was brought before Justice Lyon, Wednesday week charged with assault and battery on Thomas Coles.

QUEER. -The following interesting adverdisement. we clip from a "matrimonial paper: What New England lady between twenty thirty years of age, wishes to marry an and energetic, pushing, neat and tidy farmer, residing in Minnesota; the possessor of beautiful farm with surroundings simply pleasing to the eye; enclose with reply, to Box 15, Rushmore, Nobles Minn.

No triflers." Mr. Joseph Baruch, of this place, and well known as a shrewd and energetic dealer in horses, cows, met with quite an amusing accident Tuesday week. As told by eyewitnesses of the occurrence, the circumstances are about as follows: It appears that Mr. B. started on the morning above mentioned with rather a mixed assortment of merchandise, con.

sisting of three horses of questionable ages, and uncertain speed, a quanity of pot cheese and an assortment of provisions. Two of the horses were led by Mr. B. from behind the wagon, while the third was guided in his movements by the experienced hands of the gentleman aforesaid. When opposite the M.

E. Church, one of the hind horses got his fore-foot caught in the hind wheel of the wagon, in which reposed the articles above enumerated, and the diminutive Mr. Baruch. This little bit of pleasantness" on the part of the 1 horse, proved rather surprising to himself and also to Mr. from the fact that the horse was thrown to the ground and the wagon overturned, but luckily without doing any serious damage.

It is said that Mr. Baruch neyer took much stock in this horse as a roader, much less in his propensities for "playfulncss but for a horse that can get up an excitement, in which the principal ingredients are Baruch, potcheese, provisions end horse, ho thinks he is a pro nounced success and practically demonstrates what the fore foot of a horse is capable of doing under favorable circumstances.

-One of those pleasar.t sociables for which the Rushmore House, at Orienta, has been so noted the past Summer, came off on Saturday evening, and despite the rain, was well attended. Among those on the floor in the several dances we noticed Mr. and Mrs. Charles IT. Meigs, Mr.

FROM LAST The next step necessary on the part of the Reel Committee of Arrangements, was to seek out the possessor of this elysium, and to strike a bargain with him at any price. This favorite son of earth was found in the person of a dark, mysterious, and stolid materilist, whose penchant accumulations, profitable and safe investments, and 44 full representation without taxation," equals, if it does not surpass that of the Raille party. After some sharp financial sparing, exhibiting much sagacity on both sides, a mutually satisfactory bargain was clinched, by a forcible conjunction of hands. The next important duty which devolved on the Reel" Committee of Arrangements, was the most delicate in its character of anything far encountered -it was simply, the not quite easy task -especially to those whose early musical education had been sadly neglected -and whose only knowledge of the Aesthetic art, was derived from two sources, viz. the whistle, frequently used to buoy up courage, and "crooning a body's sel'," so familiar and so fondly indulgin by those whose souls are filled with uncultivated music.

In the midst of these perplexities, relief suddenly came in the person of an angel musical light, who informed the committee that, they might calm their troubled fears, as the sought for treasure was close at hand, and volunteered to conduct them to, and gain for them, a favorable audience, with the son of Terpsichore. Following in the footsteps of this good angel, they soon arrived at a Caravansary, which next to the wise city fathers, before allu. ded to, forms the most wonderful feature of the famous city of Saw Pit. This 'hostelry? is presided over by a popular and good natured Teuton, who by his peculiar physical advantages, is possessed of the inestimable gift of seeing what is going on behind his back, with as much ease as that which is passing before his face. This, coupled with his obliging disposttion, bland smile-on beholding his patrons business-like collections, but above all, the capacity of his measure, all conspire to prove that he was intended from the first beginning of all time to be mine gut host." After a short preliminary conversation during which Sax Schooners," were quaffed and -the Roel" Committee are afforded an interview with the spectacled and placid son of Parnassus, who wields the harmonious batton ovor the performance of his compeers.

A short dissertation on the quality and quantity of the music required for the purposes of the committee having favorable arrangement wan arrived at and scaled--this time--with schooners, and repeat. All, and every duty, that could be poseibly expected from any committeo of arrangement, having been attended to by this most vigilant and faithful of every previous similar committee, all that now remained to done prior to issuing the grand and final order to face," and march to the spot, was the naming a day which would be convaniant," and handy for all. After much canvassing of opinion, this point WAR also satisfactorily settled. Thursday--a day as near the middle of the week as wo can get decided upon a most happy selection, as it fell this year exactly in the middle of the beautiful month of August, and on a day held dear in the memory, of all the faithful children of the Green Isle, who from earliest childhood have seen. it devoted to the triple, purpose of religious devotion, merrimaking and dance.

The recurrence of these periodic epochs in the home life of the exiled and now homeless children of Erin dwelling amongst us, awakens in their recollections, sad memories of the past it recalls the happy periods of youth and adolescence, when with light hearts and lighter pockets, they were wont to congregate on the green heath of their humble, but dearly loved homes, and vigorously indulge in the pleasures of the "light fantastic too," beating good time on the bosom of mother carth, responsive to the sonorous sounds of the national Bag Pipes. These were good happy old times indeed, they brought a momentary respite to hearts burdened with misfortune, and diverted, for one day at least the toughened fingers of toil, from weaving a crown of thorns-to wreathing garlands of flowers with which to decorate and cheer the weather bronzed brow of unrequited labor. Those were times too 'ere the demon of avarice and lust of ill gotten accumulations, had entered into and corroded the hearts of both saints and sinpers, 88 we behold them in this educated nineteenth century Mammon of ours. not so The soul worship absorbing of that tyrant monarch, was or so intensified as it is to-day. It required less for their earthly well being, but much less still to toll and ticket them straight to leaven.

Indeed. the highest pecuniary ambition of the common herd" in those by-gone days, was enough to pay the inexorrablo landlord, with an occasional penny for the Priest, and a bapenny for the "poor piper." The genus piper have nearly all gone the lonely road poor old Keoch," but the landlord, the priest and the professional politician, have remained, stuck bravely to their respective callings, and have danced right quick-step, to the music of modern progress. The poor, unfortunate can, from dearly bought experieuce, bear strong testimony to these facts. But as moralizing on these soul-destroying and all pervading evils of our time, has a strong tendency to result in loss of temper, and the stirring up of bad blood in the veins of all who have suffered from them morally and financially, I will here drop this disagreeable subject for the present, and proceed to describe to the the extent of and my the weak pen, the the scenes and incidents, pleasure profit, sunshine and shadows which alternately cast their influences along the devious path of the rampart 46 Reelers." Indeed the contemplation of them by the attentive reader will lead to further confirmation of the correctness of the good old adage that tells us of the many accidents and mishaps which threaten the cup of pleasure in its passage from its abundant source to the parchod and ponting lips of its votaries. The ground selected, the music engaged, the day appointed, in short all things for the comfort of inner and outer man having been attended to, to the full satisfaction of all reasonable human beings, the order prepare was issued, and man, matron and maiden, set about their work in right good earnest.

The older and less fashionable folk turned their attention to the burnishing up of old wares, and adding thereto, as far as their slender means would permit, keeping a strict eye to economy, while the younger portion of our people, particularly the females, rushed, as they are always known to do on such occasions, into the most thoughtless and reckless extravagance. Such frilling and flouncing, such brading, and banging, such frizing and fur belowing, such scampering after anything that could add to the enchanting charms of lovely maidenhood, was never before known, since the morning when the fair but frail maternal parent of our fallen race, sallied forth bedecked in all her natural and attractive loveliness of attire--though against the mild admonitions of her indulgent spouse--to take her first free and romantic flirtation amongst the humble portion of created, animated nature, and true to the instinct of her species, fell an easy victim to the flattering bringing blarney of calamities the in her arch-enemy train which of mankind thereby Local Religious Intelligence.
