Death of Senator Caperton.

Senator Allen Taylor Caperton of West
Virginia died at Washington on Wednes-
day evening OF "augina pectors," brought
on by the hot weather. He was fine
specimen of the old Virginia gentleman, 60
years of age, with long white beard, which
gave him a patriarchal appearance. Be
tore the war he was an ardent whig, and
although he was a member of the con-
federate states senate, and has since been a
secession democrat, he cherished warm
feelings for all who had also supported
Clay and Webster. His country home in
the mountains of West Virginia was the
seat of unstinted hospitality, and he is
deeply lamented by large number of per-
sonal friends, including those with whom
he has become acquainted since he entered
the senate in 1875. His remains were taken
to West Virginia yesterday.

Letter from the Overseer of the Poor

Editor Rutland Globe An editorial in
THE GLOBE of the 25th inst, calls upon
the seectmen to put on the brakes" and
stop the reckless extravaganza and gross
incompetency of the overseer, ETC., etc.
Now, Mr.. Editor, l have neither the
time or the disposition to reply to the tenn
per and spirit in which that article was
penned, or the misstatements contained
therein.
The judicious physician examines his
patient carefully before he pronounces
him demented, insane or incurabc.
The editors of Rutland and all taxpay-
ers, from the banker to the bootblack,
have oft been invited to visit the town
farm and see for themselves what | was
doing with their money"
If the editor who penned that article had
done SO, and If he chose to examine my
books and accounts with the town, which
he and every taxpayer is at perfect liberty
to do, instead of listening to vague and un-
founded reports from those who have ''axes
to grind" the article in question would
never have appeared.

The Happy Hour.

The busy day is over,
The household work is done,
The cares that fret the morning
Have faded with tho sun;
And in tender twilight
l sit in happy rest,
With my darling little baby
Asleep upon my breast.
White lids, with silken frlnges,
Shut out the waning light;
A little hand close folded
Holds mammas's fingers tight;
And in their soft, white wrappings
At last in perfect rest,
Two dainty feet are cuddled
Like brides in q nest.
All thought and love unworthy
Depart at this sweet hour;
All true ard noble longings
Renew their holy power;
For Christ, who illssils Virgin
Our motherhood has blest,
Is near to every woman
With a baby OH her breast.
