GROWTH OF THE BRISTOW SENTIMENT.

He must be careless observer Of the
drift Of public opinion, who fails TO per-
ceive the great change being wrought, al
most day by day, in the presidential prob
lem-now, however, hardly problem any
longer. The contrast between the time
when-bardly six months ago-the fact
that we had suggested the name of Benja-
min Ii. Bristow as the man of all others
Cor the republican nomination for the pres
idency was alluded to with i'll disguised
sneers by portion of the state press, and
the present day, shows not only the vast
strides made in public opinion, but shows
the wisdom of that "prominent man in this
" state" and the exceeding truthfulneas of
that newspaper which endeavored to give
currency to his pretended saying, that it
was to be chopped that TIE GLOBE would
not support Bristow, because the support
A" of that paper would be damage TO him
in this state"
Then we were alone of the Vermont
press in our advocacy of the nomination of
MIR. Bristow. Almost the first among the
newspapers OF the country, we suggested
his candidacy, and the damage" of our sup
port of bin in this state is now apparent
Here at home, the number Of Mr.. Brietow's
supporters is large and constantly ipcreas-
ing, as can be seen from even the most
casual conversation with pronounced repub-
licans-both these who assume TO be lead
ers, and those whose ambition is only to be
regarded as true to the faith aud 90 humble
workers in the ranks. So 1t is throughout
the state. A gentleman who has Travelled

capable, but the most available. The
change of month in the opinions of our
delegation to Cincinnati shows the same
advance in public sentiment. At their Sc
lection, the most hopeful of us did not ven

able to Mr.. Bristow's nomination, but now,
all statements to the contrary notwthstand-
ing, at least eight of the plumber would
vote for Mr.. BIislow as their first choice
and members of the delegation with whom
we have converted are strong in the expres-
sion of the hope that the ten votes of Yer

Bristow.
The same change, or, rather, advance, of
public sentiment is not, by any means, con-
fined to Vermont. 1t is noticeable through
out the country. We see it in New Hamp-

A SANDER Verdict.

The SANDER case of Rev. r. f. Parshall,
a Baptist clergyman. VS.. p. II. Sumner,
was decided at San Francisco, Thursday,
by verdict of $4,000 against Sumner.
Many of our readers will remember this
Rev. Mr. Parshall who wac for several
years pastor of the Baptist church at Fort
Edward, and for time preached at Poult-
ney, in this county. He was arragned at
Ft. Edward before an eccleastical council,
for gross unminiatcrial conduct, and was
severely censured. He soon after lett for
the Pacific coast, and very little has been
heard OF him until this famous California
SANDER suit, which involved similar charges
to those made against HIM at Fort Edward.

Poisonous Canned Meat.

The health authorities of both Boston
and New York, have recently received
complaints that persons In numerous in
stances have been made sick from eating
ready cooked canned corn beef, an article
OF food which is getting to be quite com.
mon. No deaths from eating the unwhole-

ed, but cases have come to notice where
prompt medical attention was necessary 10
relieve the patients from suffering. The
symptoms of the sickness produced by eat
ing the meat are vomiting and cramps. Ia
is thought that the meat was rendered nm
wholesome by boiling in copper and brass
kettles, and from the use Of too much salt

Thomas w. Piper, the sexton Of the
Warren avenue church, Boston, who is un-
der sentence of death for the murder of the
five. year-old child, Mabel Young, in the
belfiy OF the church, Saturday. IL is re-
ported, startled his counsel, Edward p.
Brown, who was in consultation with him
regarding the motion for new trial, which
Yves to be argued in the supreme court
Monday, by letting out by degrees a con-
tession of the murder, and furthermore
that he was the murderer of Bridget Lam
dregin, at Dorchester, on the night of Dec.
5, 1878, of which crime he has been long
under suspicion, ard that he was principal
in the mysterious, and nearly fatal, assault
on Mary Tyner in Oxford street, this city,
nearly two years ago. Piper declares that
he had no motive for these crimes, particu-
larly the murder of the child, and cannot
understand how he came TO commit them.
1t is assumed that he was actuated only BY
| q fiendish love OF bloodshed, like the boy
Jesse Pomeroy, who still lies in Jail. Piper
says that he has hitherto lied about the
matter to blind his counsel, knowing that
he could not get their aid if they for a mo-
ment believed in his guilt. lie has of late
been rapidly breaking down in strength
and health, through his great mental agony,
l
and it is thought that if allowed to escape
the galows, he could not live six weeks.
| His execution is set down for the Goth of
this month.
The Bridget Landregin case has been
wrapped in the deepest mystery. The girl
was a domestic Of good repute, and while
returning 10 her mistress home, about nine
o'clock at night, from visit to some
friends, was assaulted and brutally dubbed
to death at part of Dorchester known as
Upham's Corner. Several arrests were
made, Piper's being one Of them, but suffi-
clent evidence could not be obtained against
any of the prisoners, and each was dis
charged soon after examination. 1t was
for this murder that Thomas Cabill, who
went soon after the murder TO Ireland, was
extradited and brought to this country by
tie detectives. He was former sweet
heart of the girl, but no case whatever
could be made against him, and be was
