Book Notice,

HAYDEN AND OTHER Poems. BY the
author of Life Below" New York,
Hurd 81 Houghton.
This is finely bound volume of poems
which will attract wide attention. The
author in his introduction presents a very
discriminating essay on poetry as an art,
to which he seems to have been led by
criticisms on former volume entitled
Life Below" The poem entitled "Hay-
den," the longest one, is full of interest
and is evidently founded upon the story
of the early love of Hayden of a lady who
to bring the personality of the musician
more vividly before the mind of the reader
by use of the name Hayden than would
be done by employing his Baptismal name
Joseph. The lyrical poems are excellent
and full of pathos, especially "The Music
of Life" The occasional and descriptive
poems are very fine. The one entitled
"The Burning of the Church at Santiago"
has its origin in the following incident
In 1864 the Immaculate Conception of the
Virgin was celebrated with unusual
splendor in Romish Church at Santiago,
Chilli During the ceremonies the draped
image of the Virgin caught fire. Almost
instantly the flames were communicated
to ropes suspending along the ceiling up
ward of twenty thousand colored lamps.
These fell in rain of fire upon the
audience below, and a scene of horror fol-
lowed that beggars description. AS many
as two thousand persons, chiefly young
ladies from the higher grades of society
perishea be meath the ruins.
The volume closes with didactic poems,
some of which>are as fine as any in the
language. These poems are the produc-
ton of poet of more than common pro-
mise. The verse is musical and flowing.
A delicate fancy plays over the plan of the
poems. The verses have much merit and
the volume will meet large sale.

had succeeded in their purpose. Mr..

most valuable animals in the northern

A FRAUD.-Some time since G. FL.
Green, representing himself as the agent
of the Peoples Line of Steamers, came to
Rutland, saying to Charles Olmstead,
ticket agent, that he was out of funds,
and he loaned him money to pursue his
journey to Plattsburgh, N. Y, where he
boarded at hotel until his bill amount
ed to $120, giving draft on the Com
pany in New York, which was protested.
He stopped at one of our hotels and
ordered the bill sent to Mr.. Olmstead for
payment, which was putting it on rather
thick, a letter was addressed to Mr..
Hewitt, the agent of the Peoples Line in
| New York, and an answer was returned
that Green was not in their employ, and
had not been for some time. In the mean
time Green has been travelling through
the country, playing his dead beat game.
Yesterday he was in town and the pres
ence of Chief of Police Crawford brought
to his rememberance the friendly loan of
Mr.. Olmstead, which he, under the cir
cumstances, promptly liquidated. We
make this mention because he has been
practieing the dead beat game all along
the line from New York to Plattsburgh
among Railroad men. His tarryings at
Plattsburgh have been rather expensive to
landlords thereabouts. Pass him around.
SAD ACCIDENT.-Mrs. Seth Arnold, re-
siding in the northeast part of Rutland,
on Tuesday afternoon, taking with her a
child about year and half old, went
on visit to Mr.. George Petty's, in Men
don. While there the child fell back
ward into pail of hot water, scelding it
so severely that the little sufferers ago.
nies were ended about one o'clock on
Wednesday morning. The father of the
child came to Rutland on Wednesday to
purchase coffin for its burial, and sad as
it may be, he drank in 90 much of Rut-
land fro water in the form of rum, that
he became grossly intoxicated, and re-
turned home, carrying bottle of the vile
liquor. He repaired to his barn, and,
while asleep, his sorrowing wife went
thither and took from his pocket the bot
tie aud destroyed it. On awakening he
missed his flask, and charged Ezra Edison,
Eoe,,- who was there assisting the family,
with having taken it from him, and made
desperate assault upon Mr.. Edison, which
he parried off Arnold then started for
Rntland, followed by Mr.. Edison, but
eluded his search, and he had not been
found up to last evening.
Who sold this man the rum is the
question. He should be punished under
the new law of the State, which makes
the seller responsible for the damages ac-
eruing out of the actions of the intoxi-
Gated man. This case is indeed sad one,
dead child and drunken father under
the same roof!

RICH AND Poor BOUND TOGETHER.
You remember the touching story of
the daughter of Sir Robert Peel. Her
father gave her, as birthday present,
gorgeous riding habit, and went out with
her on the same day fSr an airing in the
park, his heart swelling with parental
pride as he rode by her side. Shortly af-
forwards she sickened and died of typhus
fever of the most malignant type; and
when inquiry was made as to how she had
caught the infection, it was discovered
that the habit, bought from one of the
London West End tradesmen, had been
made in q miserable attic, where the hus-
band of the seamstress was lying i'll of
fever, and that it had been used by her to
cover him in his shivering fits. Thus,
whether we will believe it or not, the
safety of the highest is bound up with
the condition of the lowest; and if we
neglect their material, moral md spiritual
interests, there will come dreadful Ne
mesis to mark the divine displeasure in
our conduct, and we may perceive our
guilt all too late, when the vast temple of
our liberties is shapeless mass of wreck
and rubbish-W ~ Taylor.

At q sociable, held by the members
Of the Congregational Church, at the
house of L. S. Hull, on Prospect avenue,
last Tuesday evening, the party were
pleasureably surprised by the presentation
to the Church of beautiful Communion
Service, consisting of eleven pieces, and
an elegant carved communion table, both
from the Congregational Church of Rut-
land, VT, with nice table-cloth and nap
kins from Arnold 81 Constable, Broadway,
New York; a fine Bible for the desk from
Mr.. John Halowell OF Hudson City, and
valuable clock from Benedict Brothers
all for the new chapel. The service
consists of two flagons, six goblets, two
plates and baptismal bowl, made of the
very best silver plate on white metal,
handsomely engraved, and of the same
pattern as that lately presented to Henry
Ward Beecher. An inscription appears
on each side of the fagons as follows:
Presented by the Congregational
Church of Rutland, Vermont"
Some of the members of this church are
from Rntland, Vermont and their friends
there could not have chosen more appro-
pirate or acceptable presents than the
ones they sent.
Since this time, an organ has been
placed in the church. These things have
been accomplished mainly we Judge
through the energetic efforts of Mrs. Hull
wife Of e. S. Hull, who is well known in
our community.

Out-of-Tovvn Talk.-Firss Sitting.

The 'iiterary sensation of the season"
is said to be Disrael's tip-top story-"Lot-
hair p' The senseless sensation of the sea-
son is admitted to be the ladies tip-top
story-Lot-o-hatr!
The main argument used by a certain
member elect of the coming Constitution
al Convention against woman suffrage is,
that eff women are allowed to vote the
State will surely become Democratic !"
When it is remembered that the said
member, who is now Republican, was
once Democrat, it is fair to assume that
by the time the State becomes Democratic
he viii have become ditto, and hence his
argument is the very cream of unselfsh-
ness. So look out for the millennium.

"Dc you know the name of that 'promi-
nent citizen of neighboring town who
was recently fined large sum for violat-
ing our Livuor Law ?" Said 7, mo his

said l. "You know a prophet is not with

"True as the Bible, admit" said Sykes,
'and yet had supposed that yermonters,

would naturally appreciate home talent,
and make use of it before looking else

the Board of Education doubtless felt it
their duty to secure the very best man,
irrespective of locality. Besides, the Soc
retary elect had been very extravagantly
cxtolled by some of the very men whom
you would doubtless call well qualified
for the seoretaryship. Such being the
case, is it at all queer that the Board
should do as they have done in the mat
ter?" Sykes said he saw the point, and
straightway indElged in brilliant flash
of silence. Meanwhile arose, and thus

Oceanic Pacific cable were delivered last
week by Cyrus W. Field before the COM
mittee on public lands and foreign rels-
tions of the Senate and House, and the
Senate committee on commerce. The dis.
tances in nautical miles by the proposed
lines are as follows: From San Francisco
to the Sandwich Islands, 2O80; thence to
Midway Islands, 1140; thence to Yoko-
hama, 1850; thence to Shanghai, 1035
miles. To this is to be added one-sixth
of the whole to make statute miles 1O05
miles,, and also the usual 90 per cent. al
lowance for slack in paying out the cable
1920 miles,, making the total length of
the cable required to connect San Fran
cisco with the Sandwich Islands, Japan
and China, 9121 miles. The committee
on foreign relations unanimously favor
giving the company $500,000 year for
twenty years instead of giving public
