WAITS AND HINTS.

"Good people were shocked last night be-
cause the Devil was present at the Bizarre
club ball."-Rutland Herald. Too thin;
familiarity breeds contempt, it may be, but
not surprise.
Wanted--in the office of the agricultural
editor of American Cultivator, recipe for
making frst-class, easily digested, toothsowe
SKINNED cheese! From remarks made by
gentlemen in Burlington we feared he had
never enjoyed such luxury.
Waterbury has put on airs of late, since
the reform school went to Vergcnnes, and
sundry other things have TRANSFERRED The
people over there can't say "snow"-that is
the term used by pebians. Oh, no; they
speak Of the superabundance of the hydro
crystal to tho depth of nearly six feet"
Pope was about right after all:
"A little learning is dangerous thing"
The "local" on the Rutland Herald has
"struck lie" this time. He says when
well.drcssed young man can carry his
mothers tca.kettle down to have it meuded
without first wrapping it up in paper or
trying to hide it under his overcoat, it's a
pretty good sign that he is going to win in
the world" Now if he practices as well as
breaches our hope of his future success is
greatly increased.
This is the laconic and significant dispatch
+. w. Bird, one Of the shrewdest and ablest
politicians of Massachusetts,, sent to Con.
gresham Henry l.. Pierce on the election of
George f. Hoar to the United States senate
last Friday "Custom house organized trans
fer OF Boutwell, men to Rice. That proved
a fzzle. Boutwell, voters rated back and
enough changed for Hoar to give him LAG.
Butler, Simmons & Co. buried"
The Boston Advertiser of Tuesday had
clean cut edtorial-"An Embarrassing
RecOrd"-beiug a review of Senator Nor
tons record on the vice presidents authority
to count the electoral vote. If Morton had
any conscience or political principles his rec
ord would be embarrassing enough. but as
a distinguished gentleman said to US a few
days since morton was meant for the cir
Gus, but he has Numbered into congress-"
aud hence the fact that he is for or against
a measure is no proof of its fitness or unfit
ness. He is the great Indiana political
weather cock his purpose indicates the
hopes, plans, wishes and purposes of the
partisaus of his party. He has ability, aud
so has the prince Of darkness the latter
has no principles
We know of public library in which
No. 249 happens to be that genial book,
"Reveries of Bachelor" by tho iuimitable
Tx. Marvel, most practical and successful
farmer by the way. 1t was drawn from the
library not long ago, and on its return the
card of the drawer was quietly removed, aud
the questioning of the officials could elicit no
information. BY aud by it was found that
a "youug lady" only five aud thirty, fair,
fresh and blooming as in her "teens" long
since departed, had secured it and perused
and pOnderod the book in the hope that the
"Reverios Of Bachelor" might afford some
antidote for the Sorrows OF an Old Maid"
Whether her efforts were successful or not
We cannot say, though if the truth is TO be
told, the cOuuteDance of the stealthy reader
did not seem to indicate the highest success.
