OF the writing of many candidates there
would seem to be no end. 1t is evident
that the people Of Vermont are not distressed
with the apprehension of getting the wrong
man for governor, when 50 many good names
have been presented. Windham county mod
cstly urges its claims to furnish the man,
and several of the papers have already con.
CURED in the opinion that Broughton D.
Harris Of Bratteboro would be satisfactory
candidate. Many are in favor of second
term for Gov. Peck.

1t is safe to say, though not authOrita-
lively announced, that the Philadelphia
Exposition will not be thrown open to visit
Ors on Sunday. The vigorous opposition to
such an arrangement, developing on all sides
will decide the actions of the managers in
favor of seventh day obser vance. There
are economic and hygienic reasons, saying
nothing of the sentiment of christian com.
munity, why the doors of the exhibition
should be kept closed on the Sabbath.

The new version of the belfry death, if
false, is certainly an ingenious one. Had
this been Piper's defense at his trials he would
either have been acquitted or received a less
severe sentence. In accepting this theory of
the child's death the problem of the motive
that could prompt so hoinous crime, is re-
solved. Whether this confession will avail
anything toward securing pardon or a nit.
igation Of sentence, remains to be seen.

Origin of the military Salute.

A correspondent of the Army ana
Navy Gazette gives the following ac-
count OF tue origin of the military
salute: "Within the last few years.
among the many changes which have
been introduced into the army is that OF
the salute. Why the Old time-hOn0red
salute was abolished no one knows; but
ii is an interesting fact, and one prob
ably unknown to most OF our readers
that the old salute which consisted OF
the hand being brought to horizontal
position over the eyebrows. has a very
old origin, daIiGg, III fact from the very
commencement OF the history OF the Eus-
| llsh army.
"Its origin is found in the tournaments
of the Middle Ages, and was as follows:
After the Queen OF Beauty was
enthroned, the knights who were to taxa
part in the spUrts Of the day marched
past the dais oil which she sat, aud as
they passed, they shielded their eyes
from the rays Of her beauty.
"Such was the very interesting origin
of the old salute, and it is question:
worthy the attention Of our military
authorities, why should not the old
salute, possessing sucn an origin, and
associated with our army from the very
earliest times. be restored? 1t is din.
cult 10 discover Tor what purpose it Was
ever abolished.
"rLe principal part of the officers
salute-kissing the hilt OF the sword
dates also from the middle ages. When
the crusaders were on their march
towards tie Holy City, the knights were
in the daily custom OF planting their
long, two-handed swords upright in The
ground, thereby forming a cross, and
before these they performed their morn
| lirg deVotions. On ali military occasions
they kissed the hilts OF their swords in
token of their devotion TO the cause OF
the cross, and this custom was perpet-
uated alter the crusaders were num-
bered among The things oftne past, aud
when the religious origin Of the salute
was forgotte1."

the debris to be removed is closely
packed.
From calculations 1t is thought that
the number Of bodies still missing is be-
tween sixty and seventy, but it is hoped
that some Of these may he heard from
alive.
From the number of tickets sold on
The night OF the casualty at the boX-otlice
OF the theater, and from the fact that
many small parts OF bodies had been
found, showing that the remainder had
been entirely consumed, 1t is certain
that there were some strangers in the
city from a distance whose friends have
not yet communicated with the authori-
ties.
All the public buildings are draped
in mourning. Funeral services will be
held at the Academy OF Music Sunday.
The five members of the Solomops

were buried. There were five hearses
and long line of carriages. The
burial took place at the Jewish

also Hebrews, were buried.
