The iI0Yprn0rSLin


suggestion in your issue of the 9TH inst -,
|of Hon. Charles Dewey. of Montpelier, as
1 suitable person to receive the republican
nomination for governor may very likely
meet the views of some voters in the par
tv, but Judging by the way in which the
mention of his name is received by repub-
licans in his own town, it does not APP
pear that it would be a nomination which,
if made, would prevent Il falling off from
the usual republican majority in the Sep
TENDER election. Granting pretty much
everything stated in your editorial of the
7jh inst. it still needs some argument to
show that =" culture - and " courtesy are
alone sufficient qualifications in Il candi-
date for the highest office within the Gift
Of the people Of the State. To have filled
Il merely clerical position for series of
Years in II satisfactory manner, is no proof
Of executive ability, or even marked abil-

Story of DejaZet.

Mile. Dejazet was one evening on her way
to the theatre, when passing corner of the
Rue St. Honore, she heard issuing from the
area Of shop the words of one Of her best
songe, "Ls Lisette." Mon Dieu y she ex-
claimed, II did not believe it possible that
my .Lisette' could sound SO dreadful. What
impetuous way she stopped her carriage,
and descending the area steps found her
self face to face with six inebriated work
men, to whom she said. in pathetic voice,
"Mes enfants, how could you sing Beran-
gers Lisette' in such a manner 2" "Bah ~
said one. less drunk than the others, "it is
Dejazet." "Yes," she replied, 'it is Deja-
yet, who has come to implore you not go TO
mutilate the song che loves best" They
regarded her stolidly while che seated her
self and sang LA Lisette." Silence was
preserved throughout, and the noisy throng
were sobered by the magic voice of Dejazst.
Never" said Dejszet. chad l greater tri.
umph than that evt ming, and it was with
difficulty escaped from their enthusi asm.'
