says: "A pungent little incident oc-
Cured in an argument before the Su-
preme Court on Friday last, between
Messrs. H. B. Harrison and 7. E. Doolit-
tie, Es9s., counsel in the matter of the
Derby railroad injunction. Mr.. Harri-
son was contending that, inasmuch as the
legislature did, only six days before the
expiration of the charter, execute impor-
tant legislation in reference to the COM
pletion of the Derby railroad, it was
ridiculous to argue that its charter could
be forfeited by the old terms Of non-com-
pletion at a certain period, or that the
legislature could possibly expect the rail
road to be completed in six days. At
this point Mr.. Doolittle (who was making
a sharp fight on the other side suggest
ed that possibly brother Harrison has
read of little incident in sacred history
in which work of nearly the size and
and importance of the Derby railroad
was completed in six days Gle referred

Mr.. Harrison, 'Ah, yes, that is very
true; but brother Doolittle omits to
mention very important fact in that
connection. He should remember that
during the creation, Satan was not hang

monstrances and injunctions, impeding
and obstructing the work."

ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE.

ADDRESS TO THE GEOiLE. 1ra
To the people of the State of Vermont:
The Council of Censors elected by the
freemen of the State on the last We'd
nesday of March, A. d. 1869, have con-
cluded their labors, and have called
Convention, to be holden on the second
Wednesday of June, A. D. 1870, to act
unon certain amendments to the Consti-
tuition, which they have promulgated.
The Council are not unanimous upon the
policy of adopting the proposed amend
ment, on which they believe the people
desire to act. The reasons for making
the proposals of amendment have been
substantially set forth in the reports of
the several committees, which have been
SO extensively published that it is not
deemed necessary to repeat those reasons
here. The integrity and intelligence of
the people are sufficient guaranty that
none of these proposals of amendment
will find place in the Constitution ex-
cept "such as are necessary for the pres
ervation of the rights and happiness of
the people" The Council have also per-
formed the other duties imposed on them
by the Constitution, and their action and
recommendation will be found in the
reports of their committees and in the
published proceedings of the Council to
which the people are most respectfully
referred.

The Chicago correspondent OF the New
York Tribune relates the following:
Country customers often include other
articles in their orders for books, and the
houses here send out and purchase them.
One order for two hundred or three hun
dred popular works contained the item,
"1 Smoked Glasses" The clerk who
filled it, bought and shipped to the Gus
toner pair of colored spectacles instead
of the desired book, with the name of
which he did not happen to be familiar.
For months afterward the reminding
tests of his fellow clerks made the life Of
that unfortunate young man burden to
him.
Another order enumerated: "Six
Primitive Christianity" 1t was sent
back with the response penciled opposite
that item, and not at all in jest" No

" The Impenitent Dead" is work by
Massachusetts, professor of theology.
One morning, visitors in a leading book
house were all startled by the inquiry
which one clerk who was filing an order
shouted to another in distant part of
the store: Have the Impatient Dead
come in YETI" Esse
A rather slow boy had been employed
in a great establishment-in which his
| father also was a clerk-just long enough
to realize that he did not know anything.
and to look bewildered whenever he was
asked for an unfamiliar work. One day
fellow clerk, wishing to speak with she
elder, asked: Bill, where is your pa
ternal ancestor?" " I'm sure don't
know, replied the lad, ina tone of des-
pair, Il never know where half the
books are p
A rather quiet boy, and also new
conner, had learned the great lesson Of a
salesman--al to sell visitor some
thing, whether the store contains what
he asks for or not. A dignifed gentle.
man in gold spectacles entered and in.
quired "Have you 'Feuchtwanger's
