The DoRRILLITEs.-Rev. DR.. S. l.
Prime of the New York Observer gives
an account of several peculiar religious
sects which at one time or other obtained
footing in Vermont. In 1878 sect
known as the Dorrillites arose in Leyden,
Mass, taking their name from their
founder, one Dorrill, British refugee
from Burgoyne's army, who claimed su-
perhuman powers and to be able to con-
fer Immortality on those who followed
him. The delusion soon spread into
Vermont. These people lived on vege-
tables, rejected all human and divine
laws, and followed the dictates of their
own passions. At one of their weekly
meetings, where eating, drinking and
dancing formed part Of the exercises, a
spectator named Capt. Foster was pres
ent, and hearing Dorrill assert that he
could not be injured by any arm of flesh,
at once put his pretensions to the test by
knocking him down and beating him
until he recanted, whereupon his follow
ers dispersed.
Isaac Bullard, who claimed to be
prophet and wore leathern girdle,
came from Ascot, Canada, in 1917, and
started new religion, the principal pc
culiarities of which were the holding of
property in common and regarding filth
iness as cardinal virtue, like the her
mits and ascetics of old. They even
outran in their zeal those venerable dis
believers in the proximity of cleanliness
to godliness, not being satisfied with the
natural accumulation of dirt upon their
persons, they rolled in the mud of the
streets, They finally migrated West
and there broke up. In 1887 man
named Bridgeman, who had been Uni
versalist, became partially deranged and
claimed to be inspired. He gained some
converts and they devoted themselves to
disturbing religious meetings by screams,
yells and limitations of various animals,
pretending to be acting under the power
of the spirit. They were called the
Holy Rollers, from the practice they
had Of rolling on the floor as an act of
worship. Finally they were suppressed
by sending some of them to Jail for dis
turbing public worship.

How a Man Looks for Clean Clothes

Did you ever see man try to find
shirt, or handkerchief, or something in
the bureau drawer where his wife keeps
her clean linenf 1t mostly happens
when he's in hurry, when he has got
his fireworks temper on, and his wife
has got the baby on her lap, or she is
cup to her elbows in dough. He finds
the white clothes laid in such symetri-
cal layers as only woman, after long
practice, can accomplish, and he dives
in a good deal as he would fish for nubs
of kindling in a barrel of shavings,
pitching everything right or left on the
floor, meanwhile, as he fails to get the
required article, strewing and swearing
and offering select expressions Of relief
to his feelings in a suppressed tone OF
voice, and vowing, In way especially
designed to reach the ears of his wife,
that it does beat the old-what's' s s
name "a thing can't be put where it
can be found" About this time his
wife yells out from below that the arti-
Gle sought is right at the top, when be

tears round into that linen at a more fu.
rious rate than ever, swearing that the
shirt amt there, for he has got clear to
the bottom. And then he gathers every
thing up in bunch and rams them back
anyhow, just as he can grab them, il
savage handfuls, tearing around and
jerking things all over with nervous
looseness. Then he sings out in sort
of abstract way, as ii addressing no one
in particular, that he can always tel
where to find anything he needs at hi
place of business in a moment, that ht
keeps place for everything and every
thing in its place. just about the timt
