Yes, sure enough, what dense stupidity is

voters can do. For instance in one district
OF the sixth ward the Democratic election
officers return but one vote for Woodland
while ten respectable men make solemn oath
that they voted the Republican ticket in the
same district. But we are opposed to en-
franchising monkeys. 1t is carrying the
democratic principle far enough at present to
intrust the ballot with its sacred responsible
ties to men whose hands are yet red with
patriotic Blood to say nothing of the extreme
Hberality which already permits men to vote
who are, at best, but partly vitalized scissors,

Fd* entsfpfisea Of Consequence succeed
wltbout etcountefibg sheers from doubling
and opposition from interested persoiis. Par
ticularly this is true where the enterprise is
an innovation, where it breaks out from old
channels; it then shocks the conservative ee-
ment. A not inconsiderable number even in
radical New England are armed with coat of
mail against whatever proposes new means,
new measures, new methods, in fact whatever
is an INNOVATION. Yet for what good thing
we possess are we not indebted to innova-
ton? Adam was an innovation, and the devil
set out to ruin him as soon as be heard of his
starting.in business.
Moses was an innovation and Pharaoh suc
fered seven plaques before he would give up
his opposition to him, and through all time
since, every innovator has bad his Pharaoh

it not spanned the belted globe, weighed its

of one wing of the French army, made de-
cided success from the start. The Prussians
were in strong position. Gen. Pallieres took
veteran troops and stormed ths Prussians
driving them before him, capturing many prs.
oners and carrying the position. So marked
was his victory that Gen. Palladins warmly
praised his conduct. The gardes mobile from
the department of Loire ct Cher, who were
under the heavy artillery fire of the enemy
wavered little, but Gen. Barrill, who was in
command, placed himself at their head and
broke through the enemy's line. The mobiles
fIom the department of Sarthe behaved admi.

onet. The chasseurs of the line also distin-

VERMONT RAILROAD ITEMS We take a
paragraph OF interest 10 Portland from the re-
port of the Railroad Commissioner of YER
mont:
The Montpelier and st. Johnsbury and the
Lamoille Valley railroads are now under cou-
tract and being graded from st. Johnsbury to
Swanton, aud will without doubt be built. l
understand that over one-half of the grading
from st. Johnsbury to the heights in Walden
is now done, and work ON the Lamoille Valley
road is commenced in nearly every town from
Danvlle to Swanton. These roads form part
of The Portland and Ogdensburg trunk line.
The Lamoille Neaosdealcr OF last week says:
The working force on the railroad is being
rapidly increased. Twenty men arrived at
Morrisvlle on Saturday last with picks and
shOvels, and are TO commence work a little
east Of this village this week. We learn that
much of the line between St. Johnsbuly and

INDEPENDENT BAPTIST CHURCH AT SCAR
BoRo'.-Elder J. Hayden has recently with
drawn from the Free Will Baptist denomina-
ton, and has formed new church at North
Scarboro, bearing the uame Independent Bap-
lists. The following synopsis of the views of
this body will account for its separate organi-
zatiop: In church government Congregation
al or Independent. In support of the minis
try the new church agrees with the Friends
They hold that the cause of religion is better
served by living, working church, than a
salaried ministry. They adopt the working
principle of the Y. M. C.. Association, making
no distinction, however, with regard to sex or
age. They believe that Father, Son and Holy
Ghost are but three manifestations OF the One
Great Eternal God. They utterly reject the
modern notion of this worlds conversion, or o
millennium before the second advent q
Christ, and believe that this great and glori-
ouse event is nigh, even at the doors. In
manner of worship and general doctrinal
views they agree with the early Free Will
Baptists. taking the Bible as the only law and
standard of faith

AT our suggestion the editor of the Scissors
tried his hand on a third "maiden essay" We
are now convinced that we did wrong to en-
courage him to rely upon his own resources
In the first place he should attend some good
primary school--out of Difference to his pre-
JUDGES we will say acOmGn's school-and
learn something of the English language. At
ter that, when he is pleased to compliment us
on being scholarly he will not have his honest
purpose defeated by the untimeIy intrusion of
the word scholastic. The word is not what
case is clearly one of those that Richard Grant
White had in mind when he wrote that caus-
tic article recently on newspaper English, in
the course of which he says that editors use
''big words for small thoughts" Our friend
of the shears thought Scholastic" much finer
than scholarly. After the instruction be gets
at school he will also know better, when, like
Mr.. Toots, he writes letter to himself, than
to talk about "a scissor mania"-there being
now no thing called a scissor in this universe.
Finally, he will avoid Latin till he has some
acquaintance with it, as he would poison
with the properties of which he is unacquaint-
ed. So shall he be saved the humiliation of
writing nsedicas when he Stimulates the ways
of physician and means to write medicus
THE bluff old argus was not accustomed in
former years to whimper and try to escape
chastisement by assuming the airs of injured
innocence. But now the fossil BLACKBOARD
who edits it whines about attacks upon his
character when we do but hint at the truth in
his case in reply to the most beastly assaults
that the ilIiterate old rough could make. 1t is
little strange that man who is so thin
skinned that he smarts even when he sees the
lash coming, should be So callous where others
are concerned and take cowardIy delight in
attacking men who are a thousand miles off.
How will he feel when the lash really comes
down? Already be calls out piteousy to the
whole neighborhood to make common cause
with him, but the correspondence we present
here with makes it seem likely that public
sympathy is not with him.
