The HuMoR OF PoIrIcs. The present
political campaign is not without Incl
dents which excite our risibilities and
afford pleasant relief to the asperities
which are called into action by political
contests. One of the best stories is told
Of how they do things in Maine. The
Greeley men had little surplus morey,
and one Of them suggested that a Mr..
johnson was Indifferent upon political
topics, and would vote either way for a
five dollar bill A five dollar bill was
placed in the bands of a runner who had
been engaged to do odd JOBS, aud he
started for Mr.. Johnson's residence on
the morning Of the election. Mr.. John
son was absent, but Mrs. johnson, strong
Republican, was at home. mo" said
Mrs. j., coming to the door, "Mr. John
son is out, but can attend to anything
you wish" "Well,' said the runner,
Il was told he would vote the Democratic
ticket if gave him five dollars" Have
you the money with you ?" inquired the
wife. Certainly" said the runner, and
he handed it to her. "Well," said Mrs.
johnson, looking a. the bill, land how
do you propose to vote yourself ?" "Well,
don't know" replied the runner, ain
Indifferent. "Well, them added Mrs
j., IN tell you what | will do; if you
will vote the Republican ticket | will give
you this five dollar BILL" ats bargain,
said the Greeley runner, and putting tn,
money in his pocket he went to the poll.

Too Many on the Right Side.

One of our distant correspondents
write us in complaint against town in
this county for its light Greeley vote. In
his region the Republican party has been
greatly benefited by the withdrawal Of
the Liberal Republicans. The town OF

Democrats. He thinks he could find
forty whose absence from the Republican
party would be an improvement to it, but
the Greeley vote was not half that mum.

Republican party in Vermont as its worst
enemies He adds that Of his personal

A new religious sect, known as the
"Amanians," and numbering about 1900
has sprung up in Iowa. This new COM
munity is composed entirely of Germans,
They have purchased about 80 900 acres
Of land on the line Of the Rock Island
Railroad, and have built several mills and
manufactures. All property is held in
common, and the affairs Of the society
managed by fifteen "iathers " Each
person is allowed to draw a certain amount
from the cooperative stores yearly. and
no member is given any wages or any mo-
ney for personal expenses. Every day
religious services are held, We do not
learn what the theological belief OF the
sect is but, inasmuch as they are noted
for honesty and fair dealing, we judge
that 1t cannot be far out of the way.
Marriage is not forbidden, but it is not
encouraged; and the community is not
likely, therefore, to perpetuate itself.

TIE "BUNKo" Game is new swiudl-

dlers combine, and all but one or two act
as runners" or "ropers.in," and visit
hotels and other much-frequented places
in search Of the unwary stranger. When
they get hold Of victim, they ply him
freely with liquor. and after visiting
several saloons, one Of the number iu-
forms him that he has a lottery ticket
which he is going to present at an office
on West Washington street. The stran-
ger readily assents to the invitation to
visit the place, and the "roper" takes
him to one of the "bunko" rooms. Here
they meet business-like man, vino stands
behind counter. and the roper, in a
stranger-like manner, produces his ticket
and asked if it has drawn prize. The
clerk examines some books, apparently
aud says it has hit upon prize in gold
And the money is paid right over to the
roper, as if the clerk had never seen him
before. The roper also receives number
of small tickets, and then goes into a
Darkroom, followed by his dupe Here
is a ely-finished board, containing star,
crescents figures, etc., and a man II
charge Of it, The roper plays in hi,
tickets and wins some money. This SC
excites the dupe that he readily pur-
chases some tickets, plays them in and
always loses. While playing, the dealer
will allow him to win occasionally, fol-
it is game which the former has ful
control over. Thus goaded on, thu
stranger loses all he was possessed of,anC

The Vernon; Central Railroad,


1t will be seen ny reference TO our adj
vertising columns that the Trustees OF
the road have invited the stockholders OF
the Vermont and Canada Railroad, the
bond holders of the first and second mort
gage, and the holders Of other securities,
to meet them at Horticultural Hall in
this city on Tuesdoy next, Oct, at
eleven o'clock in the forenoon, to hear
their report, and consult with them upon
the liabilities Of the trust. This certain
ly has the appearance of meeting the par.
ties in interest in u manly way, and we
doubt not that the idle reports will be ST.
fenced by the statements of those who
hold the trust.
There is renewed evidence that the
public have not lest confidence in the Sc
curities of this road, and that the holders
do not propose to sacrifice their property
owing to exciting aud sensational runors,
which are based upon ignorance and die
tated partly by malicious motives. The
fact cannot, we think, be denied, that
greater economy must hereafter be used
in the management, while it is also evi.
dent that the affairs of the road are SAT.
6ciently complicated to require the uudi
vided attention of the managers This
corporation. now being run, as is wei
known. under order Of the Court Of Chan
Gerry Of Vermont, has a trust debt, tt
