THE EGG DANCE IN INDIA

much more pleasing performance, and one
which mi ght perhaps better have been men
toned in connection with the exploits of the
jugglers, is the ''egg dance" This is not, as
one might expect from the name given it, a
dance upon these fragile objects. Itis execut-
cd 10 this wise; The dancer, dressed In cor
sage and very short shirt carries a willow
wheel of moderate diameter fastened horizon
tally upon the top of her head. Around this
wheel threads are fastened, equally distant
FROM each other, and at the eDd of each of
these threads is slip Do6se, which is kept
open by glass bead. Thus equipped, the
young girl comes toward the spectators with a
basket full at eggs, which she passes around
for inspection to prove that they are real, and
not limitations. The music strikes up jerky,
whlrl around with great rapidity. Then, seiz.
lhg an egg, she puts itin one Of the slip nooses,
ard, with quick motion, throws it from her
IN such way as to draw the knot tight The
swit: turning of the dancer produces ceutrif
ugal force which stretches the thread out
straight like ray shooting from the circum-
terence of the circle. Ooe after another the
eggs are thrown out in these slip nooses until
they make horizontal aureole or halo about
the dancer head. Then the dance becomes
still more rapid, SO rapid in fact that it is diff
cult to distinguish the features of the girl; the
moment Is critical; the least false step, the least
irregularlty 10 time, and the eggs dash against
each other. But how cao the dance be stop
pea There is but one way.--that is, to re-
move the eggs 10 the way in which they have
been put 10 place. This operation is by far the
more delicate of the two 1t is necessary that
the dancer, by single motion, exact and un.
errlng. shauld take bold of the egg, and re-:
move 1t from the moose. A single false motion
,L 'he hand, the least Interference with one of
the threads, and the general arrangement is
suddenly broken, and the whole pertormanc
usastrousl ly ended. At last all the eggs are
successfully removed; the dancer suddenly

Beating A Bedfellow.

The New York Sttn publishes the freaks
of Vermonter as follows: " Chandler
Cobb of Wilmington, VT, who has been
visiting Mr.. Snyder of Bedford avenue,
Brooklyn, N. y, in a fit of somnambulsm
on Saturday night, immagining that his
bedfellow, William Martin, was going to
shoot him, began to beat Martin over the
head with a chair. Martin jumped out of
bed to defend himself, and Cobb ran down
stairs believing that his companion was
going to follow him, he ran into the store
and leaped through the plate-glass door.
He was severely cut about the feet and
legs, and as soon as the blood began to flow
he recovered consciousness. He was taken
to the Broadway police station, and DR..
Burdck dressed his wounds.

THE WAR OF THE GOVERNORS.

Shall we congratulate or condole with
the Central Vermont railway company
Or shall we divide our congratulations and
condolences, extending the former to the
lawyers and the latter to the courts As
the frogs said to Jupiter, it may be fun for
us but it is death to the stockholders. An
internecine strife has suddenlyIan unex-
pectedly broken out in the Central Ver-
mont, and the war of the governors bids
fair to be historic. One governor is
charged with acting naughty, and the other
governor don't talk pretty, and the courts
are to be called upon to decide between
them, and the poor stockholders to pay
the bills. That old adage about 'honest
men getting their dues" don't apply, be-
cause the other part may not be true, and
the quoted part will be found to be all
awry, because the revenues of the road
and the dues of the stockholders must find
their way into the lawyers pockets. The
prospect before those who dreamed of a
dividend paying corporation, run by stock.
holders, and not by the courts through
trustees, is anything but assuring. There
will be no occasion for the grandsons of
the present generation of lawyers finding
fault with their childrens children for
settling Contra, Vermont lawsuits, aud
telling them that this litigation has been an
heirloom in the family and means of sup
port for generations-the directors will
prevent any ground for such complaints,
and the stockholders will furnish the law
yers with adequate means of support.
AS the lawyers must be supported and as
railroad corporations must fight, perhaps
the public can afford to view the fun with
some degree of complacency and pity the
sorrows of the poor stockholders, SO long as
the company pays is taxes and trains are
run with some degree of regularity. But
such "talk" as was heard at the annual
meeting, and such action as took place at
and prior to the meeting is, as our cotem-
porary would put it, "disorganizing" and
"saps the foundation" of "the social order,
shy destroying in men that confidence in
''each other and reliance upon each other,
(Which are of the essence Of patriotism. II
Oh, Vermonters think of man, whom you
had made your governor, telling another,
whom you had similarly honored, that he
had "fraudulently" and "llegally' issued
stock for the purpose of controlling the
election" Think of this last mentioned
governor being charged with Singh handed
proceedings And because railroad di-
rectors see fit to hold q railroad meeting, in
railroad cars, moving on railroad track,
think of one governor telling another gov
ernor that such a meeting was "unneces-
sary," 'unfair" and ''illegal !" Oh, gov
ernors, how could you Where was your
''essence ?" Have you no regard, govern
ors, for the pockets of the stockholders II
not, and so it would seem, do have little
respect for 'the social ORDER" don't ''sap
the foundations and show that you are
imbued with little of that "essence'

" heal these wounds Will the people of
I" the south never learn wisdom and prac-
" tice repentance and charity Can erripg
mortas never be forgiven ? Will the
people of this country never cease trust
" ing in time serving politicians and partl-
" san demagogues Will they not soon
"arise and take the power into their own
" hands, and settle these quarrcls, as they
" have in Louisiana, in spite of Casey,
" Packard, Warmoth and McEnery ?" He
says that while bad men sometimes steal
into positions of trust and responsibility,
there Is virtue and force enough In the peo-
pie to hurl them cut and put honest men in
their places, and thus illustrates "Mc-
Cune goes forth and hides his shame in

" Backwell's Island. God had mercy on
Ames and Brooks and granted them their
passports, and sent Schuyler Colfax
abroad as a missionary. The people set
" tied with Butler and Carpenter, and gave
them their time during the remainder Of
their minority. Chandler was set afloat
because he was disgrace TO the Ameri-
can congress- Is it not true, every
word of it? Are not the republicans of
Vermont in full accord herewith And
yet we are told that if Colenel Joyce had
uttered these sentiments two years ago " it
would have prevented his now being a
congressman. Perhaps 50, but, if so,
Vermonters have sadly degenerated.
Is it to be taken, in Vermont, as test of
republcanism, qualification for congress
men, that one must believe in in the three
"Cs"-Carpenter, Chandler, Casey Must
we leave the party, must our best men be
prevented" from "being congressman
because they cannot subscribe to Butlerism,
and do not believe in Butler? If these are
to be held as tests of republlcauism, If
faith in force bills and sectional strife, if
shutting ones eyes and giving blind sup
port to Butler, Casey, Carpenter and
Chandler, if dealing tenderly with fraud
and official corruption, if a respect for the
statesmen" mentioned, and an eulogizing
of wrong doors, corruptonists and public
plunderers constitute republicanlsm, Their
Is the party growing small by degrees ant
beautifully less-and it ought to- We sub
scribe to no such republcanism, neither dc
the republicans of this congressional dis
trict or their representative in congress.

In order that our readers may partially

In order that our readers may partially
understand the Central Vermont contro-
yersy, we will state that its capital stock is
practically limitless, the charter providing
that 1t shall be divided into shares of one
hundred dollars each and shall be an
amount sufficient to purchase and retire
the first and second mortgage bonds of the
Vermont Central, "sad amount to be de-
=" termined by the directors, and such adj
" dtional amount as may be authorized"
by the stockholders. AT the organization
of the company, twenty thousand shares
were subscribed for, but only seventeen
thousand six hundred and fifty taken, and
but fifty per cent paid thereon. The di-
rectors voted, February 25th, TO fix the
number of shares at ten thousand-$1, y
100000, and that certificates of fully paid
stock should be issued in lieu of the old
certificates-that Is, we take it, one share
of fully paid stock for two shares OF the
old stock on which the fifty per cent had
been paid. These new certificates of stock
have never been issued OF the old stock
there were twenty-three hundred and fifty
shares unissued and not taken and one
governor claims the right to, and did,
issue it, the other governor claiming that
the issue thereof was ''illegal' ard "fraudu-
lent This question the courts will deter
mine when they declare to the anxious
stockholders who are the directors.

Ii we turn to page 43l of that little
primer, called the claws or Vermont, for
1874 we will find "an act to legalize the
Grand list OF the town of Brldgewater for
the year 1875" and, as we turn ever leaf
after leaf, we discover nineteen other SINH
lar laws. 1874 was not good year for
legalizing grand lists, as careful inquirer
will find by reading the i.rmer numbers of
our serials styled CLAW" We would that
every membsr of the legislature and every
man or boy who expects to be a member
of that august body-and this includes
nearly our entire male population-would
cut out the following extract from a veto
message of Governor Tllden, paste it in
his hat, read, mark, learn and inwar,lly d.
gest it, and when he becomes the chosen Of
the people, act upon it. The governor is
vetoing one of these legalizing acts, and
says "Such loose legislation is of evil ex-
- ample upon the statute book, even if it
works no actual injustice in the case
" which is the first precedent. Those who
sCCh tueSC Dlllb arc uuAlOuS " Uc sure W
- make them broad enough for their own
" present object, and are not concerned as
" to the possible injury and injustice to
" others, or the evil policy that may mad
- vertently result. The.loosest precedents
" are most likely to be copied. A bad
practice in o few cases grows into an
authority. Healing statutes are enacted
4" where public policy would sustain official
" acts that are invalid by reason of over
sight or inadvertence, and some private
rights are benefited and some harmed by
" the confirmation. On the same principle
" instruments executed by private persons
g. are sometimes aided. Out of such pre-
I" cedents has arisen a disposition on the
part of municipalities to apply for stat
"utes curing informalities or irregularities
d" in the acts of their officers in respect to
" local assessments. A natural inclination
to favor their own powers, and to fall in
g with expedients which increase the fund
" at their disposal for expenditure out of
the same taxes, tends to enlarge the
=" scope of such bills
