The Chicago Times editorially charged
Secretary Bristow with defraudng the rev.
enue by having eighteen trunks, belonging
to his family, who were returning from
Europe, taken off ship board and landed
without being subjected to examination or
the payment of duties, but Attorney Gen.
eral Pierrepont promptly explodes the
story. He says that he was present when
the secretarys family returned, that their
baggage was landed with that of other pas
sengers, that it was fully examined and the
duties thereon paid by the secretary. lie
adds that 1.-THE rigid conforming to regula-
tions and searching examination of bag
gage was insisted upon" by the secretary
on account of his position and the peculiar
relation he sustained to the customs de-
partment. He might have added that no
one believed the story and that the charge
would never have been made If the secIe-
tary had left the whisky men alone.

Senator Edmunds and the Judgeship

A dispatch to the Boston Herald says /:
"The Senator said today that he was con-
sidering the matter, but did not think he
would accept the place" -
A special dispatch from Washington to
the Boston Post says " Senator Edmunls
OF Vermont, stated this evening that he
believed he would decline the protfered
circuit judgeship as successor to Judge
Woodruff. The salary Is inadequate, and
Edmunds is satisfied with his present posi-
ton as Senator" 49, ..
There is very current rumor that the
place made vacant by the death of Judge
Woodruff has been rendered to Hon. Geo.
F. Edmunds, senator from Vermont. Such
an honor to Mr.. Edmunds would be highly
acceptable to all the citizens of the district
and everywhere else where his judicial fit
ness is known, but the appointment would
leave to our state the very important prob
lem "who can fill his place in the senate ~
--Benniagton Neps
Are not some of the republican news
papers of Vermont a little too fast in
naming successor to Senator Edmunds
before that gentleman accepts the proffered
juds eshlp? We have good reason for as
serting that if Mr.. Edmunds goes on to the
federal bench it will be entirely from rea-
sons connected with his falling health and
against the united protest of his warmest
personal and political friends, and the
present outlook is that he is likely to &C.
cede to their desires. We see that TIE

FAST TRoTTINe AT ROCHESTER,.
Lulu T,ots Three Heats in 2;l6 l-0, 2;l4 3-4
and gle.


The trotting mare Lulu was speeded at
Rochester, Thursday, to beat the 2:14
record of Goldsmith Maid, and came
"within an ace" of doing it, but, although
failing of the attempted feat. she did her
self proud by accomplishing the equally
difficult feat of trotting the three fastest
heats on record, all below 2;17 and one
quite down to the Maids best performance,
considering the circumstances. The betting
before the race was three TO one that she
would not beat 2:14 two to one that she
would not beat 2:15 and even up to that
she would not get below PIG. The first
heat was against the hackers of the mare
but only tritle, being trottedi in 2;165. In
the second trial the mare did her best, and
made the quarter 10 33i seconds, the half
in 1864. the three.quarters in lao and the
mile in 214g. The heat was trotted dead
against q heavy wind, but for which the
mare would have beaten 2:14 handily. The
third heat was trotted in 2:16. A running
horse accompanied the mare.
In the race between Lucille Golddust
and Thomas l.. Young, the former was the
iavorite, and won in the second, third and
fourth heats. Time, 2;22, 2:219, 2:21,

A New Route to Boston Projected.

Owing to the shipment OF lumber direct
from Canada to Albany and New York, the
hitherto thriving lumber trade of White
hall with the southern markets has suffer
ed material falling off, aud the lumber
dealers of that town are beginning to real.
ize the Importance of securing market in
the eastern states. The Hoosac tunnel
puts 1t in their power to obtain such a
market, as by it they are placed nearer
Boston than Burlington is, and are given a
route which can furnish rates of freight
that will not only be remunerative to the
railroad, but which would prove ruinous
to the railroads from Burlington to Boston,
owing to the grades in favor Of the tunnel
route. AS yet the facilities for reaching the
tunnel are quite indirect, and two short, di-
rect connections are proposed. One Is BY
building road from Whitehall to Green
witch, TO connect with the Greenwich and
Johnsonville road the other is to build
link between Whitehall and Granville, con-
Meeting with two sections of the Delaware
and Hudson canal companys railway sys-
TEN. The latter link would cost about
$500, 900, and would bring Whitehall 10
miles nearer Boston than is Burlington.
The latter route seems to meet with con-
siderable favor, and 1t Ia now deemed Of
greater importance that II be Immediately
put In process of construction, and that
either a company be organized to under
take II or that negotiations he opened with
the Delaware and Hudson company to
have them take hold of the enterprise. =

Imitation, even if doomed, is not dead
and the Ohio democracy do not believe that
its advocacy was the cause of their defeat,
at least 81 VIC infer from the dispatch of
the chairman of the democratic state CON-
mittec to Hendrick B. Wright, chairman
of the Pennsylvania democratic state exec
utive committee. While conceding the
election of Hayes, he says that the democ-
racy have increased their vote more than
thirty thousand and their defeat was due
TO fraud and the introduction of false is
sues on public schools which excited the
prejudice and bigotry of religious hate"
He is silent on the subject Of the currency
issue and its Interpretation is; Look out
for frauds and school issues, but let us
stick to imitation, we have gained over thir-
ty thousand votes on that question alone.

His case now stands for trial on the merits
and, as the court suggested, it will no Ion

Mr.. Smiths Perplexity.

A prominent church-goer of WilioUgh
by, Ohio, who is called Mr.. Smith for
convenience, entered the Methodist
Church at that place last Sabbath, walked
up the aisle very deliberately, chose
seat in front of the pulpit, i'll full view
of the audience, took OIL his overcoat andl
commenced folding it. An audible litter.
passed through the entire congregation.
and Mr.. Smith could not imagine what.
was the cause of the merriment. Having:
folded his coat very carefully and placed
it beside him, he was just going to sit
down, when he discovered for the first
time that he was presenting quite
pugilistic appearance, standing there be-
fore the audience in his shirt rt-sleeves
When he fully comprehended the situa-
ton look Of utter dismay was depicted
upon his countenance. The appearance
OF the Furies, the Harpies, or some
Gorgon horror just then would not have
disturbed his peace of mind i'll greater
degree. Seizing his coat he put it ON in
an incredibly short space of time, and sat
down sadder and warmer man.
Every few minutes he would fix lnia collar
around his neck more tightly as if he
were afraid his coat would slip of
second time of its own accord The min
ister who had to view the whole incident,
with much difficulty and a large handlier-
chief managed to restrain his laughter

Seeing If the House Is on Fire.

1t is very easy matter, says the Bnf
falo Commercial AdUertiscr, for some
one member of a family to make 10 rule
to examine carefully, after the others
have retired, every place where there Is a
possibility that fire could be ignited, with
danger to the house. Five minutes given
to the examination of furnaces, stoves,
tire-places, and their surroundings, might
be all that was necessary to prevent o.
serious and dreadful confagration. And
the AdUertiSer instances the case of q.
housekeeper, who has been q faithful
family servant for thirty-five years--G.
long time i'll these days of "hired help.
This conscientious woman made it a mat
ter, one might almost say, of religion, to
so every night after the family had re
tired, without light, from garlet to cel-
lar, TO see if every chance of accident
from fire was removed. One evening.
after the departure of some guests and
retiring of the family, on her 0sz2H
rounds she found the hat-stand in n
blaze. Calling the master of the house,
with his assistance, but with no little
trouble, the flames were put out. IL
seems that the umbrellas in the rack had
been ignited by spark from a cigar held
10y one of the visitors as he took his hat
from the stand. Needless to say that the
housekeeper, after recovering from her
fright, was more than ever convinced
that it did pay to see if the house is on
fire -
