YentiIate Your Children's Rooms.

Most parents, before retiring make it a
duty to visit the sleeping rooms Of their
children. They do so in order to be salts
fed that the lights are eXtinguished, and
that no danger is threatening the little
ones. But if they leave the rooms with
closed windows and doors, they shut in as
great an enemy as fire, although the rava.
ges may not be so readily detected. Poison
is there, slow but deadly. Morning after
morning, do little children awake, weary,
fretful and oppressed "What can it mean;
what can it be?' the mother cries. In
despair she has recourse to medicine. The
constitution becomes entecbled, and the
child grows worse. The cause, perhaps, is
never traced to oycr-crowded sleeping
rooms, without proper air. but it Is, never
theless the right one. An intelligent
mother, having acquainted herself with the
principles of ventilation, will not retire to
her own room for the night, without hay
ing provided sufficiency of air for her
children in the san.e manner that she pro
vides and regulates their night covering,
or any other requisite for refreshing slum-

PUTNAM's MAGAZINE, for October,
opens with the first chapters of what
promises to be decidedly sensational
story, 1.-THE Lady Cinella," by Edward
Spencer. ''The Last of the Troubadours'
is an interesting sketch of tho French
barber poet Jacques Jasmin, principally
known in this country by Longfellow's
translation of his "Blind Girl of Castel-
Guile" "Old Boston and ST. Botolph's,"
by the wife of Hawthorne, will be found
entertaining, though the same subject was
presented in the Atlantic Monthly few
years ago. The most striking feature Of
this number is the first instalment of G..
P. Putnam's "Leaves from a Publishers
Letter Book" in which he gives letters
from Cooper, Prescott, Everett, Paulding,
and Margaret Fuller, and also reminis-
oence of Edgar Poe. The remaining
contents present an entertaining variety.
The NURSERY is designed for the
youngest readers, and as such is capital
publication. The October number is rich
in literary and pictorial treasures for the
little '.wee bits" of folks. Il is published
by John L. Shorey, ID Washington stree,
Boston.

EURopE.-A London firm has just OBJ
tanned patent for q method for catching
whales by means of electricity. Every
whale-boat is provided with galvanic
battery. Wires from opposite poles run
down to the points of each set of harpoons.
When the whale is sufficiently near, two
harpoons are thrown as near stimuli
taneously as possible, and when imbedded
the monster completes the circuit. The
charge is expected to be sufficiently power
full to paralyze the animal, 80 that the
small boat may advance and dispatch him
at leisure.
The vaults of the Bank Of France,
which it is asserted, contain more treas
ure than any other single spot on the
globe, are accessible through an iron door,
which has three keys, kept by the three
principal officers. The iron stairway
leading to the vault can de detached, and
by chemical apparatus supply of dead
ly gas is made to permeate every part,
destroying human life in few seconds,
while the whole vault can be submerged
at ten minutes notice, so that an attempt
to rob it would be attended with certain
peril.

From the Middlebury Register.
The Vermont Legislature.

1t is with some interest that we look
over the list of members elect of the next
House of Representatives., and endeavor
to imagine some of Il results of the COM
hinatiOn. We obser that it will be
largely composed of new members. Near
ly one half of the names we have are new,
or, at least they were not members last
year. Some who have at some former
period, been members, are again returned.
But the numbers of these is small. OF
last years members we observe some
prominent names, such as George w.
Grandey, of Vergennes, Wales, of Bur
lington, Wood, of Fairhaven, Abel, Of
Westhaven, Hunt of ST. Adams, Circuit of
Barton, Gleed of Morristown, Langdon OF
Montpelier.
Among the new members who are like
ly to take prominent positions are Burt
of Swanton, Garfield of Arlington, Joyce,
of Rutland, Democratic, Dickey of Brad
ford, Benton of Bennington. The organi-
zation will be promptly effected with
Hon. George w. Grandey of Vergennes,
as Speaker:
There will be little, if any, opposition.
His service last year was SO acceptable
that he will unquestionably be unani-
mously placed in the chair as he was una
nimously elected by his fello w-townsmen
AS Mr.. Flagg, the former excellent
Clerk, has been promoted, he will not, of
course, be candid ate for reelection. We
understand that Albert Clarke, Esq, ed
itor of the st. Adams Messenger, will be
candidate fer that place. Mr.. Clarke
has for several years been Assistant Clerk
previous to last year, and he discharged
rhe duties to general acceptance. HIS
fine abilities and previous experience are
certainly proper qualifications for the po-
sition It would be gratifying to the ed
itorial fraternity, of course, to have one
of their number occupy the place. The
senate will, undoubtedly, re-elect Henry
Clark, of Rutland, as Secretary of the
Senate, who has so acceptably served in
that position for several years. With
Lieut.. Governor Hendee as presiding
officer, and Henry Clark as Secretary, the
upper House will be well differed, at
least.
We believe the Senate is, as usual, COM
posed of sound, practical men, distinguish
ed rather for good sense than briiliancy,
though there are in it men of fine debat-
ing powers, as Wheeler Of Windham,
Merrill and CLARK of Rutland, Collamer OF
Windsor. With such q Legislature we
shall not expect any very foolish or inju-
GUS legislation.
