TIE VERMONT GRANoErs. Evidently
our ''granger" friends had rich and re-
freshing season. We are informed by an
intelligent outsider, who happened to be in
St. Johnsbury during the proceedings that
the "Patrons" are in dead earnest The
order is increasing rapidly, and though the
leaders disclaim all idea of interfering with
politics, yet there were unmistakable symp-
toms that "grangerism" might be formd-
able element in State politics the coming
year. The delegates were mostly active,
young and intelligent farmers, who are
apt to give an impetus TO whatever they
engage in. They claim to have made ar
engagements TO have oranges organized in
every town in Vermont, previous to May

The defalcatlon Of the internal revenue
officials at Burlington. VI, appears TO at
tract considerable attention. Experts have
been sent there 10 overhaul the accounts,
but It appears that they have paid more at
tcntion to the fast horse, of the suspected
official than they have to his books. II is
not wonderful, therefore, that the impress
sion has gained ground that the power of
the party is to be used to hush the matter
and this seems the more probable because
of the effort made TO place the RESPONSE
bility of the cmbeHzlement upon subor-
dlnatc who has not been connected with the
Office during the last two and "a half years.
What must be said Of the efficiency Of an
official who could not discover dcfalca-
ton of subordinate under three years !?

together insufficient. -Neio Y0,A IEorH.

Dime Novels,

A New York correspondent writes:
have been told by a prominent Job
printer that half his presses are running on
this kind of work. While literature, is gen.
orally dull, this style maintains its full rate
of sale. 1t is evident that s1ch reading
must weaken and degrade the mind pro-
digiously, and indeed it is found that lovers
of dime novels en- read little else. BY the
same rule that strong drink evidently weak
ems the body, tales SO exciting must weaken
the intellect. A gentleman of fine literary
taste remarked that the youthful mind of
the country is threatened with idiocy.
''Had l, !" said he, ''bsea fed on such trash
while young should have been imbecile. I"
The effect of early reading for good or evil
is beyond estimate. know q man who,
while boy, was in place where almost
the only reading he could get-next the BIZ
ble-was the Spectator. He read this many
times, and became imbued with its style
and sentiments, which gave him a culture
and elevation. Suppose that instead of this
hehad read 'Lantern-facod Bob, "''Small Pox
Dave" Sighting Nat" Clumsy Foot, or
''Long-Legged joe" These names have
taken from the publishers list, and they
challenge admiration. The latter is max
ing money, but it is at the expense of the
mental vigor of the public. The sale of
these tales never was greater than at pres
ent, and recently flaming handbill has
qeen sent to every Postmaster to attract
attention.

DecIine in Tea.

The wholesale price of tea, in con-
sequence of the removal of the duty
and ageneral decline, is about twenty
seven cents per pound less than it
was year ago. The capital required
for our retailers to handle it, conse-
quently, needs to be only about three
fifths as great as then, and this should
work a further reduction to the con-
sumner of about five cents. In view of
these facts, the question naturally
arises, are we, the consumers, paying
to-day thirty-two cents per pound less
for our tea than we were one year
ago? 1t may be that we are. We
simply suggest the question: [Ex.

The Postal Telegraph.

On Monday Mr.. Ramsey, in the
Senate, announced that he would call
up the Postal Telegraph bill for con
sideration on the following Monday.
On Wednesday it was announced in
the papers that the Western Union
Telegraph Company would reduce
their rates. Putting the two togeth-
er, it would seem that this company,
after all their assertions that they were
doing the telegraphic business of the
country at the lowest paying rates,
are yet willing to lose money rather
than see the Postal Telegraph bill
pass, which guarantees to the public
such an immense reduction in the
present rates of telegraphing, and
comforting the blessings of this won
derfulmodern power upon the masses.

A Singular Dream and its Full
fillmenf.

1t seems that dreams may be sometimes
made of better stuff than is usually sup
posed. The Fort Wayne Sentinel wants us
to believe this story: A gentleman in that
neighborhood had a son who was a clerk in
Omaha, who wrote to his father that he had
been robbed of So, 900 belonging to his en-
ployer, while returning from collecting trip.
Then the father fell asleep and dreamed that
he was sitting at table of ahotel in Omaha,
and overheard two young men talking over
the particulars OF robbery in which they
had been concerned, at the same time count
ing the proceeds with much exultation.-
Learning Gas he dreamed) the number of
their room, he (still d-eaming) consulted the
register and fixed their names in his men,
DRY. He wrote to his son (having walked
up to consult the register of the Omaha Ho-
tel, and to see if he found there the names
of John B. Nelson and James Frank in
scribed on its pages under date of November
Finding the said names there, the son caused
the arrest of the said men, when they con-
fessed the theft; 1882 of the money was
recovered. and the offenders are now in the
ponitentiary. Tis a strange case, and all
we have to say of it is, that there are more
things ''in heaven and earth than are dream
ed of in our philosophy, Horatio."
Here is a companion piece to the above,
from the other side of the world:
A strange story comes from China. A
native school boy at Shanghai told his school
master that he dreamed his stepnnother had
murdered him. and placed his remains in
lar under the floor of her house. The |
reassured his pupil at the mo-
ment, but subsequently missing him for
few days from school, remembered his
dream, and rushed to the house of his STEP /
mother to inquire for the boy. Receiving
an unsatisfactory answer and full of sus-
picion of foul play, the man tore up the
floor of the room and found the corpse of
his pupil cut up and slowed away in a jar,
precisely as the poor boy had described
The case has been authenticated before the
Chinese courts, and the murderess was exc
,uted, after being carried to the city to re-
,eive the exetratidns Of the people.

The Late Terrible Storm.

As the particulars of the terrible
storm in the Northwest are received,
the tale of suffering grows more fright
full, Nothing in the history of the
Northwest equals it. Probably not
less than one hundred lives were lost
by the storm. Men, women and chill
dren perished, and in one case an in
FAINT was frozen in its mothers arms.
In another mother and newborn
babe froze to death while waiting for
the return of the husband, who had
gone for a physician, and who was
frozen on his way home. The ac-
count grows sickening as we read,
and it is well said that the elements
have proven less merciful than the
sayages.

AgreeIll. nIs.

How many misunderstanding arise
from the loose way in which business
matters are talked over, and then
when each party puts his own con-
struction' on the conversation, the
matter is dismissed by each, with the
words "All Right" "All Right" Ere
quently it turns out ''all wrong" and
becomes question for the lawyers
and the courts. More than three
fourths of the litigation of the country
would be saved, if the people would
put down their agreements in writing,
and sign their names to it. Each
word in our language has its peculiar
meaning, and memory may, by the
change of its position in a sentence,
convey an entirely different idea from
that intended. When once reduced
to writing, ideas are fixed, and ex-
pensie law suits avoided.

Specie Payment.

Senator Sherman's bill to begin
specie resumption January 1, 1874,
provides that the Assistant Treasurer
at New York shall, on and after that
time, redeem greenbacks either in
coin OF 5 per cent. gold bonds, when
presented In sums of $1,000 or any
multiple thereof The Secretary is to
have the option whether to redeem in
specie or bonds This option is for
reserve in case he can not meet the
demand in coin. He is not to can
Gel, but is to reissue these notes, and
SO to continue redeeming and reissu-
ing. The banks are to redeem either
in coin or greenbacks, and are to be
relieved from the law of reserves
The limit of bank circulation isalsn
to be repealed, and the issuing of
notes to be made free to all on de-
posting the requisite bond security.
The gold banks authorized by the act
of 1870 are excepted from the privil-
ege of redeeming their notes in bonds
or legal tenders, and the act is to be
repealed. These are all the provis-
ions of the act, except some details to
carry out these.
Mr.. Sherman argues that it Will
cause no contraction and no change
IN the value of the currency. In that
case it will offer 5 percent. gold bonds,
now said to be negotiable at par in
,oin, at par in notes worth now about
38 to 80. If the 5 per cents. hold at
oar in gold, and notes at their previ-
JUS value, it appears rational to ex-
,ect that there will be brisk demand |
or the bonds at par in notes, until
his shall result in such contraction
# the circulation as shall raise their
alue. And if specie is to be offered
n exchange for notes, without raising
heir value, the result will be a de-
of specie to the present
alue of the notes, which, according
D the present rate of premium, would
e depreciation of about 123 or 13
er cent. Thus it seems rational to
oppose that at this rate there will be
brisk demand for specie, SO long as
holds out. Mr.. Sherman proposes
lat it shall begin next January, but
his premises are correct, there is no
9ason why it should not begin i'm
Iediately.-T Cincinnati Gazette. I
