what he said. .i.
In the neighborhood of Stony Point, there
resided Wing by the name Of Lamb. Cap
tain Lamb owned negro who, in honor of
one of Romes greatmen, was named Pompey.
Soon after the British got possession of Stony
Point, Pompey visited the garrison, carrying
strawberries, blackberries and other early
fruits to sell to the soldiers stationed at that
point His visits were daily and very accep-
table to the garrison. He completely won
the confidence of both men and officers.
Pompey, like his master, was good Wing.
He gave faithful and correct report Of all
that he saw and heard in the fort, to his mas
ter, by whom it was communicated to the
commander of the American forces. A few
days before the attack was made by Wayne,
Pompey reported to Colonel Johnston, the
commander of Stony Point, that his master
would not let him any longer bring fruit to
the garrison in daylight, since he was busy
with his crop. The garrison could not think
of doing without blackberries. Arrangements
were made by which the countersign was to
be given to Pompey every night.
On the 18th Of July, Wayne had all the
dogs in the community killed, so that by their
barking, his advance might not be made
known. About one o'clock, on the morning
of the 18th, the army, under Wayne and
Howe, commenced to advance with the ut
most silence. Pompey, with . budget of ber,
ries, accompanied by two strong men, were
sent ahead. They came to the first sentinel,
who received the countersign from Pompey.

WHERE THE CH1NAMAN GETS HIS JOKES.
It is said that Chinese gentleman thinks it
beneath his dignity to manufacture his own
witticisms. He appreciates wit and is fond OF
tea, but he would as soon grow his own tea
as to make his own jokes. When he goes
into society, he carries in his pocket pack
age of prepared witticisms and repartees,
which he has purchased at the nearest joke
shop. When conversation flags, and he con-
ceives an opportunity for saying something
brilliant, he draws humorous remark from
the top Of bis package, and gravely hands it
to his neighbor. The latter as gravely reads
it, and selecting from his bundle Of repartees
the one which is appropriate, returns it, with
a bow to the original joker. The two then
solemnly smile in courteous and undemon-
strative way and resume their conversation,
feeling that they have acquitted themselves
with conspicuous brilliancy.-M 4 Times.

the chief merit of which Is that they have

Philadelphia IS fine city. The streets
and avenues are straight, and run at right
angles. Most of the public buildings are
handsome, substantial structures, and pre-
sent considerable variety, architecturally,
but the private houses are singularly uni

are seldom broken, except by intersecting
streets. They all have white blinds and
marble steps and foundations
Good old William Penn must be cassed
with those unrewarded benefactors who, as
Emerson has ", builded better than they
knew. The spirit of brotherly love and
brotherly kindness which he strove to in
cu'cate, exists to-day in the hearts of the
descendants of his people. More courteous
folks than the Philadelphians were never
seen. Although asked questionsuntil /
was in imminent danger of being deemed
an animated interrogation point, received
not one curt reply, not one answer given
in manner which forbade further ques-
tioning. On the contrary, people often
vOuchsafed more information than asked
for. Nor Is this all. These people are as
courteous to each other as to their visitors.
During my stay in the city the police
seemed to have nothing TO do. There

from these things. "Idiots fringe" is the
Philadelphia name for banged hair.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The declaration of ''princiy les adopted
by the democratic national convention
shows Of how little worth are mere plat
forms. Take it as q whole. and it is rath-
er pleasant reading; it is as smooth as oil !;
captivating to the car and, with its length,
it must be confessed that it is linked sweet
ness long drawn out. It's warp is "rt-
" form :" its wool is reform" To read
1t, without reflection, one would be in
cined TO think that the democratic party
was the great party of reform" but lei
us see how it really is. And we are in-
cllned to think that the whole pith and
marrow of the thing is in the closing
words "We demand change of 81 :
Item, change of administration, change
" of parties, that we may have change
" of members and men," That is the key
note. GIVE US change-any change-so
that hungry democrats may feed at the
public CRIB, may parlake of the loaves an
fishes. The platform, when taken in con-
nectiou with the facts, will not bear any
other Interpretation.
Take for instance the civil service plank,
where it is declared that there can be nc
tfii ;ient, economical administration OF the
government where the offices connecte.
with the civil service are subject to changer
with every election, are przss fought ioi
at the ballot box, and made use OF as re-
wards for party zeal. True, every wore
of il, and the democracy demand restora
ton 10 power because, as 1t says, the per
Torrance of the republican party beliel
its promises, and atlests that no work Of
pracucal or salutary reform can be hopeC
for irom it. We have no 10 enlion of up
holding the past work of the republican
party in the way of civil service reform
IL is sufficient To say that it has advanced
somewhat. Upon This point we, az Leaf /
can afford to put republican performance
against democratic performance. We hav,
the disgracelul scramble for office in til,

Sculpture at the Centennial.

RUTLAND. June ".
Eait0r Rutland Globe One of the
most popular pieces OF sculpture at the
centennial exposition is "The Flight of
Time" 1t consists Of two figures, one
representing time, the other maiden who
is striving to hold back him of the hour
glass and scythe, lest youth aud beauty
and youthful hopes and pleasures depart
with him. Times face is hard and mex
orable, while the expression on the maid
ems face seems to alternate between hope
and dismay. 1t is very effective piece.
Another statue which attracts much at
tcutiou is "The Forced Prayer" A little
fellow, with intense anger depicted on his
face and tear on each cheek, is repeating
his evening prayer under compulsion. The
artist has caught very happily the look, 90
often seen on little boys face, which
says, "For the present ! submit, but wait
until / am man-then see -
In the same department Italian
is statue of little girl with bare Shout
ders, who is apparently standing where
few drops of water fall upon her. Her
face tells US that the pleasure is forbid
den one, but her bright, arch look shows
that the threatened penalty will not be Wis.,
tied upon her. The charm of the statue
lies partly in the expression of the face,
but mostly in the posture.
1t seems to me that the centennial COM
missioners made mistake in erecting the
annex to the art building. There are not
more Than enough meritorlous works of
art to I'LL memorial ball-half the paint
ing and much of the statuary should have
been rejected as unworthy of exhibition. l
think there are fewer poor pictures In the
United States department than In any other
department. The French artists make q
very poor show. Their collection Is large
ly made up of human figures sans drapery,
landscapes In high colors, ideals full of
tragedy, over-wroueht storms. and animals,

THE VERMONT POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.
Hon. Horace Fairbanks Serenaded.


The republican nominee for governor of
Vermont was serenaded Wednesday even
ing, the ST. Jobnsbury band furnishing the
music, judge Ross stepped to the door
and called out Mr.. Horace Fairbanks.
Amid the firing of cannon and the cheers of
SIX or eight hundred people, Judge Ross
then addressed the future governor as fol-
lows;
REMARKS OF JUDGE ROSS.
This is q day of surprises. short time
ago we were surprised by the result of the
convention at Cincinnati. Again we were
surprised by the turn OF affairs al the
Montpelier convention, In the latter
event, as in the former. we were most
agreeably surprised. We have been inter-
ested in you as we have observed your un-
firing efforts t, build up great industry
here in our town, which brings to lis life
and prosperity. We have been interested
in you by your connection with vast rail
road enterprise which connects the eastern
coast with the vast west by direct line
passing through our state. We have been
sill more interested in you and very CRATE
| lul for the valuable gift which you have
| bestowed upon our town, consisting of a
| uht OulluluS Win anu RhlltTN.
| BY this generous provision you have done
lncalcuable service for the elevation and
culture of your fellow townsmen. We re-
| joice that the people OF the state have
found you out in spite of your efforts to
avoid publicity, and have presented you for
the centennial governor of the state. Let
me introduce you, gentlemen, to our CEN
tennial governor.
SPEECH OF MR.. FAIRBANKS.

The large crowd then passed through
the house, expressed their congratulations
and partook of some Refreshments which
had been provided and then dispersed,
