Among the many inventions and APP

to mark the tender, loving consideration

Notes from the Capital.


MONDAY, Nov lit has been an
exceedingly busy time with the legisla-
ture the past week. Many OF the com,
mittees were burdened with bills and
lengthy hearings and with committee
sessions commencing at s o'clock in the
morning work has been continuous
through the day till aud in some cases
nearly IL o'clock at night. The COM
mittee on claims, judiciary, and the spec
ial committee on the Asylum for the In
sane are among those which have had a
large amount of work to do, and even
the committee on education have had
similar pressure the past week, having
set on Friday evening till near IL o'clock
hearing testimony in case from Milton
in which some ten or fifteen witnesses
were examined, and not closed vet.
There are one or two other cases before
them somewhat similar from Lyndon and
Mortified. The details of these cases
are not of public interest The bills in
each case are simply to incorporate and
consolidate several districts or village
districts in one, aud in some instances the |
particulars are very like sharp and old
fashioned school district quarrel.
The investigation into the manage
ment of the Asylum for Insane at Brat
tleboro, is very laborious and great
mass of testimony is being taken, and /
this week the committee. of whom Hugh /
Henry of Chester is chairman on part of /
the House, will visit the Asylums for H.
sane at Concord, N. H., Northampton,
Mass, and again at Brattleboro, COM
mencing at the latter place on Thursday
of this week.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
The billto abolish capital punishment
was again discussed at length in the
House on Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Bu-
ell of Middletown, Rev. Mr. Thornton of
Hartland, advocated the bill, but the
most effective and eloquent speech for it.
was by Mr.. Henry of Chester, who was
listened 10 with very close attention, es-
pecially as with much pathos he describ-
ed the execution of boy in New Or
leans. Against the bill Col. Pingrey of
Judge Marsh of Hinesburg,
Judge Hebard of Chelsea, Rev. Mr..
stevens Of Westminster, Rogers of New
bury and Crmsbee of Brandon spoke.
The response was that the law is right as
i stands now, that there is no possible $
LANCER of the execution of an innocent :
person, and if circumstances are such as
N any manner to mitigate, then execu-
ton can be stayed or commuted to i'm
Drisonment for life. The bill will again
come up tomorrow, and an intimation
has been given that an amendment will
De proposed that instead of sending those
convicted of murder to the State prison,
hey be sent to the Asylum for the In
anel And then the bill will probably
tself be executed.

WILLS.

The subject of wills was discussed the
other day with considerable animation.
The bill provided that no person having
wife, child or parents, should bequeathe
over one-third of his or her estate to any
association, institution or charity. The
bill had its merits, but the discussion
made it appear as if it was a stroke at
Roman Catholics, to prevent those of
small means from willing their property
to the church when it ought to be left to
their families. The House thought if it
was matter of g Church and State /"
they would have nothing to do with it,
and though the third reading was car
ried by two majority, the bill was finally
defeated by yeas "a, nays 115.

LEGISLATIVE jokes.

The wisdom and virtue of the
State are sometimes given to jokes as
well as other people, and among others
one is related which | do not remember
to have seen in print, though it may have
been. 1t occurred years ago when Mo-
ses Cheney was the member from
Barnard" In the introduction and pas
sage of corporation bills and charters,
they are so similar in form, that it il Gus
tomary for some one or the member in
Producing them, to move that as they
are in the usual form they be read by
their titles only" and no one Directing
they are so read. On the occasion above
referred to mem Der who had been in
the habit of addressing the House on
nearly every question, and regarded as
very prosy at that, arose and in his usu-
al manner began to address the House.
Mr.. Cheney stood it for few moments
and then jumped to his feet and inter
ruptlDg said =" Mr.. Speaker:-As the
speech of the gentleman from APP
pears to be in the usual form, / move
that he have leave to deliver it by its IL
tie only" The effect Of this motion upset
the gravity of both Speaker and House
for some moments and it was regarded
as beneficial for even several Legislatures
following.
THE GREAT FIRE IN BOSTON.
The great and disastrous fire in Bos-
ton was announced here on Sunday and

we're received about it. Much anxiety
and interest prevailed, and knots of peo-
pie gathered at the Pavilion and in the
streets with maps of the city to explain

HOW TO PUT ON A CORSET.

From the San Francisco C~hronicle-l
At this juncture the coroner desired to
show the jury the course taken by the
ball, and for this purpose produced the
corset worn by Mrs Burkhart at the
time Of the tragedy. "You see,n said
he-and here he drew the corset around
his waist with the laees in 'front.' the
ball must have gone in here from be-
hind. No, that can't be, either, for the
doctor SAYS the ball went in in front.
COnfound it, I've got it on wrong. All!
this way Here the coroner put the
corset ON upside down. "NOw, you
see," pointing to the hole in the gar
ment, which rested directly over his hip
-" the ball must have gone in here.
No, that can't be, either, for
Here Mr.. Mather, the handsOmest
man on the jury, broke in: "Dr. Still
man." said he, you've got that corset
on wrong" Here DIT. Stillman blushed
like a puppy. "Well.i said he, "rve
been married twice, and 1 ought to
know how to rig a corset.n "Yes,''
said Mr. Mather, ''bgt you don't. You
had it right in the first place. The
strings go in front, and the ladies clasp
them together in the back. Don't /
know? l think 1 ought to; 1 have been
married. If you doubt il, look here
pOinting to the fullness in the top.
How do you suppose that's going to be
flled?" "That,n said DR.. Stiilman;
"why that goes over the hips.r 'NO,
it DON'T said Mr.. Mather; ''that full
ness goes somewhere else-this way
and here Mr.. Mather indicated where
he thought the fullness ought to 90.
At this a ~pale-faeed young man with
a voice like a robin, and notebook n-
der his arm, said he thought the ladies
always clasped their eOrsets on the side.
The p~ale-faced young man said this very
~innOcently, as if he wished to convey
the impression that he knew nothing
whatever of the matter. The jury
laughed the pale-faced young man to
seOrn, and one of them intimated that
he thought the young man was not half
50 green about wOmenis dress as he tried
to appear. The young man was a re-
porter, and it is therefore exceedingly
probable that his knowledge was fully
as limited as was apparent from his sUg-
gestiOn, the jurymen to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Here another juTyman discovered that
DR.. Stillman had the corset on bottom
o4lG up 0NIlOlf SItu LET put II O4
the other way"
Then the doctor put it on in reverse
with the laees in front. This
brought the bullet holes directly over
the tails of his coat.

Z that the bullet went in there, doctor"
"NO, / don't think it did, was the
reply. "COnfOund it, it's mighty fun

Here the Chronicle reporter, who had
everal sisters and always keeps his eyes

and Mr.. Mather, after much
Irgument, that the laees of a corset
must go behind, and that the garment

ion the course of the bullet was readily
raced, and found to bear out the ex-
'lanation afforded by the two physi-
