gave me as the mean height Of the BarOmetric
column 29,6 English inches, end the variation
from that mean Is very small. Very rarely
does the height exceed ., S inches, or fall below
z9,4 inches. The greatest height Is usually IN
January. The Barometrc changes are very re-
gular from day to day and during the day.

Iuz uiYu1kERs The Burlington Times

co-s Of his physical necessities, and yet had

for our rait, do not propose to encourage
such neglect, by countenancing "splt u

consequences-to secure an end which could
easily have been secured by attention to the
simplest duty Of the citizen.
Finally, We are not in iavcr Of making a

1t is better that whole. ono law and moral
effort should have the support Of all citizens
irrespective Of party. But if it shall become
necessary to make a political issue on that

from the contest. Al they need at any

The Montpelier Argus , ''atriai asscrts
that the FREE PREss was "... from correct
in stating that the Vermont Democrats Kan
no State ticket in lsG2 Our error, such as
it was, was due to a slip Of the zen or types.
The year referred to by Us was lS6l.> 10
chat year the Democratic State Convention
was a failure the loyal candidates Put in
nomination, Mcssrs Dillingham;, Tho
mls ami Thurston, declined to allow such
use Of their names, and the Democratic
State Committee, Just before election, put in
nomination a corTerhcai ticket with B. H.
Smalley at the head, which polleI fir,e
thousand votes in the State out Of over forty
f,ro thousand. In Burlington, but solitary
democratic yot, was pJllcd, for S.lte off
GERS. Next year, it Is true, State demo
cratic ticket was nominated at Bellows Falls
with some more scmblance of regularity
but that year it rolled only 300 votes in
the State. Il the Arg,s calls that running
a ticket, It is welcome G, the correction.
We should call it running into the
ground"
The Argus also denies that there was a
division IN the last Democratic state Con
ycntion between the old Douglas and Brock
cnridgc wings On this i, says
The men who male their differing most mani
fest were John Cain. Of Rutland, L. 5. Pat
fridge, Of Norwich AMI y. II. Armingtln, Of
Albans, on one side and H. b. Smith, Of
Milton, Henry Keyes, Of Newbury, and Hiram
Atkins Of Montpelier, on the other Mr.
Cain was a most decided Douglass man, while
Messrs, Partridge and Arlington were AS en-
phauc for Breckenridge Mr.. Smith was very
radical for Douglass, and lil more than any
other one man 10 make it a certainty that the
vote Of Vermont would be for the "little giant
in the National Convention Of 1850. and Mr..
keyes was also active and efficient for Douglass,
both he and Mr.. Smith being Douglass delegates
from Vermont at Charleston and Baltimore,
while Mr.. Atkins published the only Broken
ridge paper in the State until two others were
bought up. he having been for him from prin-
ciple. These statements show that the foolish
talk about Douglass and Breckenridge wings
really without the least foundation in fact.
1t is not Of the slightest consequence that
we see, whether the quarrel in the DemJcra

new, personal OF political, BY wing or by
dlc. But We accept the Argils', statement,

THE PoPR's HoUsEKEEPEG.--The Pope has a
civil list Of about 500, GOO a year. Out Of
this sum he keeps Papal nunoios in foreign
courts, and pays S44O0 year TO each Of the
cardinals who reside in Rome Out Of this,
too he keeps up the Vatican, which contains
no less than four thousand rooms, and requires
a large staff Of domesucs. The Pope also
pays the Palatine Guard and the Noble
Guard; keeps up the Pontifcal Chapel, pays
cGmdiTcs, his household, etc. All this is
administered with regularity and economy.
A BAD SPELL--A Cork paper has the fol-
lowing, in a letter concerning the Cork Work
house; - zone Of the doctors Of the Cork
WorkhOuse told me in very many cases they
are obliged to put two in a bed in the hospi-
tails, and many Of those infected with the
itch and other contedious diseases are placed
in the same bed with those not infected with
these coHtedious maladies." This is as good as
the spelling of Captain Costigan's brOgue by
Thackeray in ''Pendennis.
MUD ANALYzED. Tichborne Of Dublin,
has been analyzing the mud from the Dublin

four per cent. Of organic matter, which he

therefore, mixing carbolic acid with the water
employed in laying" the dust.

Artists often make great sacrifices to serve
their managers. 1t is related of Tamberlik-a
prince of tenors-that he played ErRani in
Dublin with blister on his back. The blister
had been sent by the chemist in mistake for
strengthening plaster which the doctor had
prescribed. After the opera, Tamberlik went
to his bed in the most intense pain, the true
cause of which was not suspected. About
three in the morning, unable to resist such
suffering any longer, he rose and wandered
about the hotel until he found the impressa-
rios room. He entered, and flinging himself
down on the sofa, tainted away. The blister
was removed and the wound was dressed. Not
withstanding all he had undergone, and his
weakened condition, the heroic tenor sang in
Lucia the following evening" rather than allow
the impressario to lose money by disappoint-
ment caused by the prima donna of the COM
pany.
