A SUCCESSFUL ARTIST.
Mr.. Thomas Moran, who lives in this
vicinity, has recently sold his last big
picture, the "Chasm of the Colorado
to the government for SlO,ON. This
picture is the companion to his Canon
of the Yellowstone" and both pictures
will he hung in the alcove of the Senate
Gallery ut the Capitol. These pictures
of Mr.. Moran's ale among the few real
works of art that have been purchased
by our government. The ''ChaSm of
the Colorado" WAS exhibited ut GoupirS
gallery in this city in the spring where
it was seen and admired by crowds of
visitors. Mr.. Moran is perhaps more
widely known us Il designer than Il
painter. He draws probably the best
landscapes that are now engraved on
wood in this country, either for pcriodi-
Gals or books. But his fame as Il painter
is constantly extending. and in certain
qualities his friends claim that he stands
unrivdllcd among our artists.

The Late Republican Convention.

Such a convention as that of Friday
was never known in Caledonia County
before. Every town was fully repre-
scented, and of the Is members of the
nominating committee not less than
forty or fifty were farmers. Fears had
been expressed 10y some that on account
of the convention being called the day

but the suspicion of an attempt T." quiet

More Nice than Wise.

The Central Vermont railroad is re-
funding the fares collected of those who
started on the Montreal excursion on
the 25th of June, and who were made tn
paw their fare over that road from the
point reached ut midnight on that 'day.
This was White River Junction, where
the train WAS delayed from midnight
until daylight. by the process of put
ting the passengers off. All the pas
scngerS insisted on being put off 10y
constructive force. and Il gentleman and
his wife from this city rcSolutcly refuS-
ed to leave their berth i'll the Pullman
ear till they were forced ont of it, and
then compelled the servants of the road
to hand them their outer garments
on the platform. Many of the l6
occupants of the other ears had not
the money to pay their fares and
must have stopped had not Il dispatch
been sent to Mr.. Harris of the Connect
lieut. River road. He replied that the
tickets were sold in good faith and or
dcrcd the Vermont road to take all pas
ScngcrS from his road and charge the
fares to him. BY this prompt action,
the excursion lists from the Connecticut
valley were enabled to go forward.
while those from other connecting roads
did not fare 50 we'll. The trainmcI
were acting under orders from Super
intcndcIt Hobart at st. Adams and did
THEN duty as respectfully and dccrntly
aS possible. Another nicely that orc:I-
stoned considerable hardship WIS the
refusal of the Vermont Central to re-
turn passengers who had stopped short
of the journeys end, on account of the
proviso on the ticket that it WAS good
only on Il cnmtinunuS train. The lc-
ton of the road is contrary 10 all the
usage of previous excursions. for which
the tickets have always been sold on
the last day for which they were good.
and available on any train that started
ON that day. The Indignation ut this
Treatment is likely t" profit the Pas

THE CENTENNT4L TEA PARTY.

SECRETARY robson TO DELIVER
THE OPENING ADDRESS.
Rapid and successful progress is visible in the
arrangements that are being made for the cele-
bration Of the 1Olst anniversary Of the i'm
mersion Of the "taxed tea" in Boston harbor. The
ladies composing the Washington executive COM
mitTee, whose names VIC published some days
since, are energetlcally striving to provide every
appropriate attraction In order to secure a nu-
merous attendance. Hon. George NJ. Robson,
Secretary of the Navy, has kindly consented to
make the opening address, and It IS expected
that an original poem will be composed and re-
cited by one Of the most gifted of Americas sons.
Secretary Robson is justly celebrated for both
eTudition and eloqueDee, and cannot fail, under
highly instructive and refreshing. The prepare
lions thus Tar point to brilliant success in favor
of the Centennial tea party on the 10th of Decem-
her next in the TOtunda Of the CIpitOl. This Is
as It should be. The patriotic ladies engaged In
the matter should be most heartily seconded by
everybody. The date will be most opportune for
the purchase of keepsakes and lOve-tOkens Of
quaint design and Of the Revolutionary era for
holiday presents II is to be presumed that the
several tables will be supplied with trinkets,
amulets and conveniences, such as were common
when our great grent-grandparents were sparkling
and love-maktng. We have been permitted TO
inspect some specimens Of China and porcelain
ware, ornHmented with appropriate devices, mot
toes and insignia, that are really very beautiful.
What devices Of hUuseTlfery and ncodle-wOrk
will be produced by the skill and ingenuity of the
fair ladies, with which to tempt money from the
purses Of the wealthy, we do not know, but 1t is
safe prediction that they Will be such as will
prove successful in q high degree. Let all pre-
pare their treasury with plethora for the 10th
Ol December.
