thought peihaps that mv waieh that
stolen from me on the S.-!eci:er street cars
might have rolled :1 in iles from New Ha

to llailfoid. and after drinking two mugs
of pork and moUi.sses, I gazed a g ize upon
Hartford. Hartfoid is bounded on the
north by Hartford, on the south by Hart
foid. on the east, by Hartford, and on the
west by Hartfoid, and Hartford folks think
if it wasn't for a steamboat connecting
Hartfoid with "ew York, New York
wouldn't amount to a tin cup. Hartford
ow! s llaihii's ay, the Straits f Gibraltcr,
the Faci.'lo Ocean, ami seeral smaller

'1 lie lirst man who ever lived in Hartford
was a fort the Dutch built in lCil;!. and the
oldest living inhabitant. The Dutch as
cended the (btoncktacnt river in Hat-bottom
boats until it got aground and then
they landed at Suckeggs, (Indian name.)
Hal t fud was then Suckeggs. and its citi
zens are suckeggs to litis day. There is a
Slate liouse in Hartford and a, stage road
to Midd'etown. and a colt makes horse pis-
ti ls there. When the dew is heavy the j
river is uavie-able for sloons of t went v tons

as though they were weaned on one cow's
spruce Urn-, uud they are more tidy than
the river is.
The river isn't tidy. Socit ty in Hart
ford is elevated, anel a ft iiow might us well
try to bore a hole through a bar of iron
with an auger made of buttermilk, as to
try to gf t into that society w ithout lie has
the stamps or a pedigree long enough to
go twice around the Hocky Mountains and
lap two varels. If Guy Fawkes and St.
Paul were to visit Hartford, Guy would get
an entree into society quicker than St. Paul,
provided Guy had ten cents the most. I
tlo believe that iff?. Washington was alive
to-day he couldn't be elected inspector of
fown iiumns for Hartford.

thirty years in a saw "mill. He inhaled so
much sawdust that wheu lie died and turn-

therefore in more comfortable circumstan

Y hen she got over squawking and growrd

like the perfume of forest (lowers, ami her
nose was tike a figure fouro;i a li.e engi:ie.
Her hair was black as an hour after mid

running waters. There wasn't a brook
that could begin to babble as sweetly as
she could babble, and her name was Wonita
(one eater"). She was reared among shag
barks and dogbai ks. Her arithinet ic was

who man it d a Miss Maty Aim P.oker, of
tlos city, some fifteen or sixteen years ago,
is in New Yo-k. and has 1m en sii'ce bt. li ft
th
iployii.eut of the lady's father.
Your curiosp'-ndent knows hini pc-rso:i-a'!y,
a; .l saw him to . lay ; i;i f .ct, sees him
almost every day. He has ag--od nositier,
being connected with the well kn .wn co:
tou house of L. N. Freeman tt Co., li t
Pearl stie:-t. where he hai le u for t 11
yeais. He is living haTij ily with his wife
iu Ib.b. ike 1, and has been sine the firs.t
day of his marriage. Despite the nume r
ous slanders and obstacles he has had to
contend w ith during that j ciii.tl, I unth r
staud lie owns tlie house in which he ie
sie'.js, and also some other valuable prop
erty. He enjoys the fri le 1 c- oence o
Ids employers, ami is sj..o:i of as an in
d i.-tr:ous and hard -working tean. He h.ij
a lino and fi.tuk p'rsmal aj j earance, and
is spoken ef by the New York cotton mor
chanls as a steady and good business nan.
He tells ine he has ig or d newspaper
slander, and says his eniy enemy is a
clergyman in W ashington, who lias bo a
author of all the newspaper articles, a .d
who has been writing the sensatieinal arti
cles about him. He says he has. within a
few years, lost a considerable sum of moin
(which he had accumulated by hard woilc)
in libel suits against New York paper? -osjucially
the .s;v when publi.-hed 1
Peach but a shortness of funds pi evented
him from carrying out his plans.
This letter i not wiiften f o.n any dic
tation on the part of the friends i f Mr.

sonal knowledge of the man. I couid
give you a fuil history e-f him, as I m per
sonally acquainted with him, as well t.&
nc.trly ail the cotton .samplers in New York,
but im.e w ill not permit n:t? to go into de
tail. As far as .Mr. Dt an is concerned,
neither be nor his wife, he tells inc. c insid
ers as impoitaut any of ihe scandal that ii

The time-, I unelerstand, is not far elistant
when the cotton nioneyttl men of .New
York intend "going" for the clerical gen
tleman .if Washington in eleserving stylo.
Mr. John Dean, e ven though one e a coach
man, is appa ently one of tlie happic. t
mortals in the eo tutry. He lias a wit;
who has stuck to him through "thick ai d
thin." since their marriage. She is loved
by all her acquaintances, and mingles in
the best society of llobokcn, wheie they
have been living for ten vears.
Humorous Laws.
A cur vis work on '"tlie htmio-ou' ele
ment iuG.-rman law," by O. tiieske, has
just been published at Ije rlin. The author
describes the punishments which were in
llicteel in vaiious paits tf Germany, in
some cases up to a very recent 1 t ried, with
the object of humiliating the culprit and
exposing him to public ridicule. A com
mon punishment wrts that of going in
procession through the streets of a town or
a village in a thesis covered with imago
e.f swojels. whips, roels and other instru
mentsof corporal chastisement. in Htsse,
women who had Ua'vii their hu: bands
were made to ride backwards on a don
key, h oitling his tail, on which occasions
the atiimul was led through the'stieets by
tl" husband. This cus.'om existed
1 iiriii-l:;tll iijitoiho middle of tlu; seveT4.
ftcntii et uliuy, a::el was so cemimon tln.t
a. elo'ii.cy was kept always itady f.r tl o
purpose in iie capiial a:..I the neighbor
ing tillages. If lb,- woman Mine!: her
husband in such -a manner lhat he c tild
irot w-i'd off the bl w, Ibo elonkey was
led b, th ; ma : who had c' arge e.f him ;
if in t. then by the iiusbaed himself.
At St. Gop.r a ruiller was allowed a cer
taiu quantity of w.iml fr..m the forest be
longing to the tjwn, in return for which
he v as bo aid to s.ij.p'iy a elonkey to tl o
municipality whenever required for the
cliaMiscmt nt of a Fcoldiug wife.
Another very old custom was t hat ef j 11 1

the iu. f of his hou.-c. on tlie grttintl that
'a mail who allows his wife to ruie at

fought in public, they weie t4aeh put in
sort of closed sentry-liox wh'ch only le:';
their head-, exjiost tl, and then posted otv.
jiosite to each other in the market-place,
where they reiuaineel for an hour face to
fucc, but unable to use their hands or fee.
A common punishment for scolding wo
men was tue "shameful stone," whicii
was hung round their necks. This stone,
was usually in tlie shape of a bottle. At
Hambuig, iibeliois ami hlantleiers vrc:a
compelled to stand on a block and strike
themselves three times on the mouth as a,
sign of repentance. This custom still ex
isted thirty tr forty years ago. In 5011:0
towns the "..haim.-ful stone"' was in tho
sua44 of a loaf, whence ih" Gorman Mtys,
"A heavy bit of bread" 1 Pinschwerer
b's 11 bri.Mi.) At Ltilieo il was in li - hat e
of an oval di-h. and in other places in
that of a woman putting "lit her tongue.
Such stones were u.-ually very heavy ; nc
