At the breaxing out of the civil war in the United Stat the one Professor, wi daughters were but two’ sone, the only stay an of his old age; but he did not hesitate to send them to your army for the defence of the American Union, and wrote to me the following words :— “When my fatherland appealed to its sons in 1813 and 814 to Gght for the. independence of Prussia, I fought as a volunteer at the batties ot Leipsic abd Water- loo, and now that my new country is in similar danger my'sons must do the same, and fight for their aew father- land.” One of them fell @ victim of the war; the other returned Crom the battletields, and bis old father gave him his improved farm and retired.

The Final Scene of the Grand Muddle. Governor English Doesn't “Stick,” and Jewell Installed as Governor—Tho Inaugura- tion Ceremonies—What the Demo- crats Think and Say. HarreorD, May 16, 1871. ‘That very slim MAJORITY OF THR PROPLB of Connecticut who delieve that one republican 1s worth two democrats any day in the week were mae quite happy to-day by getting the man of their choice safely ensconced in the Gubernatorial chair. And #0 well they may be happy, for a tougher time to get possession of the “dignities of high omce’”’ never was experienced by any party in any State for many @ year back. Everybody knows how tne victory hung in the balance for over a month and how the too earnest zeal of a few conscientious democrats in @ ward in New Haven to make facts and figures lie @nally won the day for their enemies quite unexpectedly to themselves. The inaugura- tion or the victor to-day was, therefore, under the circumstances, an event of no mean importance to the people, who desired to celebrate the triumph of justice over fraud with every kind of POMP AND DISPLAY that could be got up at short notice without costing “any body who parcipatedin it more than @ dollar a head. Connecticut folks as @ general thing don’t have a sensation more than once a year, of which soidicrs with stunning uni- forms are part and parcel; but they know how to relish one quite as heartily as New Yorkers, who are always enjoying parades and turnings out of home guards thut would make a Nutmeger forget all about his native soil if he could “be there to see.”” The long walting the good people had to subniit to this year served to whet thotr appetite for the annual show more than usual, and the consequence was that an immense crowd of patriots made Hartford their objective point in their travels early this morning. Nearly every portion of the State was rep- resent by somebody who had got ‘a day off"? for the occasion, and who had managed to get together dollars eenigh to pay the exorbitant fare all Con- nect'cut roads exact from greenies and to guaran- tee him @ pocketful of peanuts for luncheon. To use the words of an enthusiastic quilldriver who draws his pay in these parts, the people “came from the east and from the west, trom the north and from the soutb, trom the verdant flelds of Bloomfeld and the busy streets of New britain, from the blovmin, meadows of Farmington and the dusty lanes ol Kutield, from the Naugatuck valley and the Bolton range, irom New Haven and Bridgeport, and Nor: wich and Willimantic and Thompkinsville, and almost every place, big and Little in the goodly com- monweaith of Connecticut, they came to honor the triumph of truth over fraud, and the election of a republican Governor.” THE COLORED TROOPS, It is quite unnecessary to go into the details of how every company did its best to look better than any-one otler in the procession, or how, even though the Governor's horse guaras and foot guards got themselves up perfectly regardless of cost and tried to walk as much like the Seventh regiment boys fas possible, the shine was completely taken out of them by the two companies of biack faarte which were given a place in the line Just as though they had been white folks all their life times and had only blackened their faces to give a striking radical hue to the general scene. In fact, the darkles ap- peared to consider the parade one of the biggest things they had ore, dreamed of, and as they marched through the streets, s porsp trie freely uudor the purning sun, [have no doubt tho bystanders, who may have had a falling for Cologne water,weie fa like opinion. They were the observed of all Observers, not even excepting the Governor, and the we “‘Dinahs’’ rushed frantically about aud elbows THE WHITE LIASH right and left to get a good v.ew of the darlings of thelr hearts was an odoriferous caution to all serious advocates of the fifteenth amendment principle. The eat taken altogether, was a very creditable af- ir, and of without the slightest disturb. ance occurrence to mar the general good feeling which prevatied. Governor Jewell was on horsepack, and looked as smiling aud good natured as though to be Governor of @ wooden nutmeg manutactory was something to be exceedingly proud of As the Governor is quile a handsome man he was saluted quite enthusiastically aloag tho entire route of march by the ladies, who waved their han !kerchtefs and clapped their hands fonaly and so long at every block that the iron man ad to take off his cockaded hat at every step aud bow his acknowiedgments. Ex-Governor English was pot ry the pr ion, a8 many thought he would be. would have been a gracious thing on bis part if he had been, to show thereby that the dead past should bury its dead, even in Cos cut ‘political circles, Among the invited guests who Were in carriages in the process.on were:—His Excellency Governor Claflin, of Massa- chusetts, and stat; his Excellency Governor Per- ham, of ‘Maine, and staff; General Lucius Fairchila, Governor of Wisconsin; ex-Governor Holley, Gen- eral Stewart L. Woodford, of New York; Generat James A. Hale, of Maine; the Hou. Harvey Jewell, of Massachusetts; Mr. 8. B. Crittenden, of Now York; General Grifin, of New Hampshire, others, aud THE INAUGURATION Proper was gone through with formally, as of old. After the two houses had met in joint session a com- mitiee was appointed to wait upon the retiring Governor, to ask him tf he had any communication to make to the Legisiature, ‘the report of the com- mittee that he had none to make seemed to lift @ great load from of the hearts of the republican members, who had a notion that Governor English might after all send word that he was not likely to leave his office for Mr, Jewell’s sake, if ho knew himseif. Governor Jewell was then sworn in and his message read. It was neraily supposed that it would contain a terrific roadside aimed at the election frauds ip New Haven, by which he came very near losing his gubernatorial honors, but the expectation was not gratined. The only reference made to the election in the message is as follows:— FRAUD IN RLEOTIONG. T would suggest to your serious consideration whether ad- ditional legislation te e protection of the ballot in this ry and coercion be not necessary for tate.

Tho total disbursements for the year were $1,871,669. THE END. There is now no reason to apprehend any effort on the part of Governor English to disturb the present beaceful aspect of affairs. He undoubtedly fecls satisfied with the result, and ee to know that had he had his own way from the start he would have refused to take any advantages what. ever of what was supposed to be the error in the New Haven courts, and which was afterwards proved to be a downright fraud. The moment it became evident that such was the case he made up his mind not todo anything that would look like countenancing the fraud, and hence the quiet way he retired from office today. Haa there been a LN tl as to the misceunts being an error, and he had been satisfied that his opponents were determined to use trickery to count him out, he wovld have stuck to the place til the question of the muddle had been settled by the courts. Tne frand, however, was too pal- pable to find an apologist among the better class of democrats. So the wind-up was full of peace and quiet. The lesson of the miscount, however, will not be lost upon the present Legislature, and they will undoubtedly see to it that “errors” will not be 80 easily made by cuonters hereaiter as they were @ month ago.

Mr. Becker handed him the despatch.

Suicide, to use a homely | aeoen is “cutting of one nose to spite one’s Seeing that Mr. Beoker appeared somewhat affronted, Rullof laughed and said, “Can’t you cry for me?
