JoTTINGs BY THE WAY.

Leaving st. Johnsbury, 1 journeyed
westward to Lyndon, a small, but enter
prising village, 5 miles distant Return
ing to Wells River Junction, I took the
M. & W. R. railroad to Montpelier, about
40 miles westward, situated on the Wi
nooski River. Its location is peculiar
being in narrow valley, nearly surround
ed by high hills-almost mountains-like
a picture in the DO ttom of bowl. The
scenery IS truly striking and beautiful {,
with the many fine residences, churches
and its splendid Capitol,i certainly one
of the most charming towns in the State.
The Capitol stands on terrace at the
foot ofone of the highest hills. 1t is built
Of granite, and is as near fire proof as can
we'll be made, excepting the dome. II is
95x1S0, and 11O to the top of the dome )
on the top is statue of Ceres, IA It. high
At the foot of the statue is the Observable
rv. from which one gets beautiful birds
eve view of the city and its surro undIngs.
The Senate Chamber and House of
Representatives are beautiful in every
particular, and finely upholstered. I
never saw a public building kept with
such scrupulous neatness and order. The
floors are of colored marble. In one
room, are the battle-hags of II Regis
Infantry-besides several of Cavalry and
Batteries, also. Many of them bore evil
dent marks of the fearful tempest of shot
and shell through which they had passed
torn to shreds and the stats shivered.

ProatabIe PoIitenesa.

The Boston YFGgelsr, IN commenting
on the prevalence of rudeness, tells the
following incident that happened soias
years ago: There was a very plainly
dressed, elderly lady who was frequent
customer at the then leading dry goods
store in Boston. No one in the store knew
her even by name. All the clerks but one
avoided her and gave their attention to
those who were better dressed and more
pretentious. The exception was young
man who had conscientious regard for
duty and system. He never left another
customer 10 wait on the lady, but when
at liberty he waited on her with as much
attention as though she had been prin-
cess. This continued on year or two,
until the young man became Of age. One
morning the lady approached the young
man, when the following conversation
took place:
"Young man, do you wish to go into
business for yourself?"
"Yes, man," he responded, "but have
neither money, credit, or friends, nor
will any one trust me-"
"Well," continued the lady, "you go
and select a good location, ask what the
rent is, and report to me-" handing the
young man her address. Tne young man
went, and found . capital loca ton, q good
store, but the Landlord required security,
which he could not give. I Mindful Of the
lady's request, he forthwith went to her
and reported.
"Well," she replied, s;you go and tell
Mr.. - that will be responsiblsD
he went, and the landlord or agent Sas
surprised, but the bargain was Closed
The next day the lady called to ce. ssoer-
tain the result. The young man told Ier
but added. "What am I to do for Foods ;
No one will trust me-"
"You may go and see Mr., and Mr..
=, and Mr.. =, and tell them to eaII on
me-"
He did, and his store was soon stocked
with the best goods in the market. There
are many in this city who remember the
circumstance and the man. BE died ma.
ny years since, and left afortuhe of $780,
900. So much for politeness, so much for
civilitY, and so much for treating ones
elders with the Difference due to age. in
whatever garb they are clothed.

ABSENCE,
By LOUISA BUSHNELL.

| Through azure realms of loneliness
Sails the hot sun. No cloudy fleet
| ConYoys him DER the trackless waste,
Or cools his path with snowy sleep,
Becalmed upon the tropic deep;
Or scuds, by freshning breezes chased.
Dropping swift shadows down to bless,
And make the sunlight doubly sweet
Earth's upturned face is glad no more
ExpressiOniess beneath the noon
The listless winds in cover lie,
Nor hunt in lightsome companies
Through whispering grain ard signing
trees
The sea sends inland no reply
To the dumb yearning of the shore,
But ebbs away in weary swoon.
A bird in yonder thicket sings
As if so be his song tells true.
In miles and miles the only bird
For ne'er such plaintiff monotone
or hearts companionless and lone,
Was in summer noontide heard.
Tight folded are his useless wings,
His mate is lost beyond the blue.
God is the nameless charm that binds
The outer world in kinship blest-
The interchange, the light refrain;
And 'twixt our souls. that once was
near,
Life league of stirless atmosphere,
Asleep upon silent main
Nothing to-day its heart mate finds,
Nor any answer to its quest.
One kiss of shadow or of air
The world 10 loYelIer life would stir
Or might 1 clasp that distant hand,
Then love would grace for me the
whole;
So light a touch on hand or soul,
So light touch on sea or land,
Makes all things one and all things fair,
Wake wind and blow q touch from herl
ScTi6ner's.

SISTER JENNIE'S BABY.
TO MRS ]. D. VAN AIKEN.
Sister Jennie's baby
I'd give the world TO know
If its hair be black or brown,
Or red, like mine, you know;
If its eyes are hazel,
Or like its fathers, blue
Scarcely think they're brown
i'll only knewl
Sister Jennie's baby
Has broken Johnnie's nose;
Did the mischief do it
With his little toes :?
JOHNNIE was our darling
The smartest boy in town
As "mother's precious" ever is
Ere number two comes round.
Yes, I'll tell you some about
Sister Jennie's baby,
For I've seen the little dear
Held and kissed him. maybe;
Kissed HIM on his little mouth
Just like hers, we told her,
Kissed. as he win like to kiss,
When he's twice ten older.
Looked into his eyes of blue,
Like his fathers, surely,
And they gaze right back at you,
Wisely and demurely.
Stroked his hair of fiaxen brown,
His baby head adorning,
And 1 thought how dark 'twould be
In his manhood's morning.
Heard him laugh and heard him cry,
AS the fancy took him:
Sometimes mothers patience try
Then 1 could have shock him.
But take him all in all, my dear,
Without "if'' or maybe,
He's truly worth his weight in gold

So here hath been dawning
Another blue day;
Think, wilt thou let it
Slip useless away?
Out of Eternity
This new day is born;
Into Eternity,
At night will return.
Behold it aforetime
No eye ever did;
So soon it forever
From all eyes is hid.

from death the other day. They were
examining a new six foot sewer, and were
passing through it with lighted candles
when the foreman of q mill above, not
knowing that they were there, began 10
let off steam through the wsste-pipe
emptying 1t into the sewer. Fortunately,
there was some trouble with the valve,

But TOR this circumstance the delugeing

UNDER the caption Of Our Candidates. ;
our ncighbor of the Democrat, last week,
attempts to bolster up character for the
Democratic nominees. He does not deny
that Sherwood is a carpet bagger !; and
while he is constantly crying ''carpet-bag-
gers" as a repToach to the Republican par
ty, IN this case he does not show the least
symptoms of fright at the sight of a carpet
bag in the ranks of the immaculate Demo
cracy. He says such charges ''fall harm
less at The feet OF such men as Sherwood
and Wilmington As to Mr.. Wilmington
we have never charged him of being a car
pet -bagger We have only known him
since the celebrated conference at North
umberland, when Charles r. Buckalew
was nominated in a mysterious manner
over Thomas Chalfant for the State Senate,
and, according to the Democrat, that Oc-
cured about the time Sherwood left Tioga
county to seek an office in this county. The
editor must certainly believe that there has
been no one reared in this county. belong
ing to the Democracy, who is fit to repre-
sent this district in the Legislature. He
also complains that the offices are being
multiplied. This, we should judge, would
suit the Democracy, for there are certainly
not enough county offices to supply all in
the county who are begging for office in the
Democratic ranks and if Democratic office
hunters from other counties are to be fur
nished with Office in this county, there will
have TO be further increase. The sala-
ries are being doubled too, says our neigh
Dor. This, if correct, should not be a
cause of complaint from him, as he knows
very well from past experience, that it is
better to establish reasonable salaries than
have them deficient in amount, thereby in
ducing dishonesty. Let our neiehbor look
back a few years when the Ring was in
power, and contrast that time with the pre-
sent. The voters, no doubt, understand
by the reduction in their taxes that the
''misrule" spoken of by our neighbor is not
altogether the clean thing and it is well
known that he gives circulation to misre-
presentations to subserve arty interests.
The editor Of the Democrat should know
better than to make assertions rejecting
upon his own partizans, by presuming
them too ignorant to penetrate the misre-
presentation that the county finances were
in better condition under the Ring than
they are at present.

To the Adjutanl-General United States
Army, Washington Last night, by re.
quest of Governor Kellogg, the city was
| placed in my charge. All was quiet this
morning. Governor Kellogg occupied the
State House, and resumed his gubernator-
al functions to-day.
w. II. EMORY,
Brevet Maior General Commanding.
Governor Kellogg and such other State
officers as are now in this city went down
to the State House at ten O'Clock 4. NJ.
to-day, and the military authorities for
mally delivered up the building to them
and furnished military guard. The Sc
cretary of State, Speaker of the House,
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and Attorney-Gener-
al are somewhere in the North, and il is
understood Governor Kellogg has tele-
graphed for them to come back at once.
He has also telegraphed to members of
Congress, who are all absent from the State,
except Congressman Smith, requesting
them to return AZ once to their respective
constituencies. Governor Kellogg yester-
day sent the following to Congressman
Sypher and Senator West -
Il see by Western papers that you
severely criticised my leaving the State
House. left it on Monday at the earnest
solicitation of all our friends. The Lieu
tenaut-Governor and Speaker of the House
being absent from the State, and accident
to me, they felt, would have made compli-
cations desperate. There were none but
colored militia in the State House, and had
they made any resistance they would have
been burned out and massacred, the build
ing being entirely indefensible. If our
friends will come here and help us we will
be very glad"
1t is understood that of the 600 metropo-
litans on duty last Monday only go could |
be mustered to-day to relieve Boylan's |
men. The Kellogg men offered compro-
mise TO allow Boylan to remain as chief of |
police, but he decliEed the position unless
the control of the force was committed 10
the city.
When Governor Kellogg reached the ex-
,cutive office this morning General Brooke
approached the Governor and informed him
hat he was prepared to turn over to him
he State House and all the records and
public property belonging to the State
which had come into his possession at the
lime Of the surrender of the insurgents to
lis command. Everything, the general
aid, would be found precisely in the same
as it had come into his hands.
The Governor accepted the transfer, and
General Brooke thereupon Immediately re- +
ired. 4

THE COUNTY REPUBLICAN.-We have
been satisfied the last three years, and
events have fully proved the fact, that this
county is Republican by several hundred
when full vote is polled. In 1856 Mr..
Buchanan's majority was about 1900.
That majority, as even the most rabid OF
our Democrats must admit, was annually
declining from that period, Sd that now
even they acknowledge that the vote is a
close one. The causes then in operation still
exist, and if the county was even doubtful
three years ago, its thorough Republican
ism now cannot be questioned, as the an
nual increase of the Republican party has
been surely and steadily growing from that
time. All that is necessary, therefore, to
carry the county is, that every Republican
will fulfil his obligation to his country and
his party and 60 TO the polls in November,
and support the unexceptionable ticket no.
minated by that party. 1t is only when we
exhibit luKewarmncss and indifference that
our opponents expect to be successful.
Their hope of success this fall, therefore,
is rather a forlOrn one.

The Bloomsbury Columbian, n Demo-
cratic paper gives the following in relation
to the Democracy in Luzerne county:
''Of all counties i'll the State for corrupt
politics commend us to Luzerne. Recently
Democratic county convention that met
at Scranton was compelled to adjourn to
Wilkes Barre without making nominations
because the rowGies not members would not
permit business to proceed. The latter the
next day held rump convention of their
own, presided over by fellow just outside
of the penitentiary, and who if he gets his
due may quickly be there, and nominated a
bogus ticket. Unless the decent people of
Luzerne soon rise up against the rule of the
roughs, they will soon become their sub
iects."
