a Pleasant Masquerade.

Miss Mary Fox, daughter Of DIR. George
Fox, last evening entertained her friends Of
the Young America debating club, in a very
pleasant manner. The treat was nothing less
than masquerade party in which the lads
and lassles Of the high school TO the num-
Der of forty participated. The party ap-
peared in costume and after dancing a
couple of hours repaired to the dining room
where elegant refreshments were served.
The costumes were rich and handsome and
were without exception complete disguises,
and many of the characters were as well
sustained until the hour of unmaakng as
in any masquerade of older and much more
experienced masquers. Among the CO.'S
tunes were tic following English Baro-
net, Edward Paige Shepherd Boy, Charles

the list of enjoyable entertainments given
by the members of this club during the

come to Rutland again on the mission OF
proving John T. Phair, ian innocent
Christian gentleman
The state workhouse commission met
yesterday and occupied their time in look
ing at several lots and listening TO pro-
posals from the owners. Some Of the pro-
posas were much more favorable than
heretofore received. Owing to the absence
of some parties owning property the COM
mission thought best to adjourn and will
meet again here next Thursday.
The Trey Times screams for a quarter
of column in double leads on "What
Troy needs" and concludes it is some of
the sold time public spirit" The article
begins with this quotation from a
prominent Trojan: "This is what's the
matter with Troy; everyone's for himself
and the ID take the hindmost." 1t
strikes us that in the light of recent devel-
opments these remarks apply forcibly to
Rutland
The Boulder, Colorado, Banner thus de-
scribes the National hotel at Boulder City,
of which Maj. John <. Salisbury is land
lord "Built of brick, with large airy
rooms, good furniture, and unsurpassed
bedding, viands to tempt an epicure and
prepared in wholesome manner, gentleman
ly hosts, and accommodating servants, all
tend 10 make the above hotel second TO
none in the state. For this reason it has
already'gained an enviable reputation and
it's popularity has reached abroad. For
this reason its business is continually in
creasing, and travellers as well as home peo-
pie are making it the general resort"
The Boulder, Colorado Banner under
the head of "Tree Trimming" tells the
following anecdote of our townsman
George Alvord, who is stopping in that
place for the benefit of health Zone of
the most iovial fellows that ever came TO
this country for his health, is now stopping
at the National. He was formerly one of
the brag locomotive engineers on the Erie
road, and his name it is George Alvord
At the hotel was large plant, inside the
room, which was growing wild. The upper
limbs reached 10 the ceiling. Capt Ora
ham was anxious it should be trimmed, and
asked Alvord if be would assist. He
would, and with the greatest pleasure. He
began below, while the Captain gathered
up the pieces cut off. Gently they were
lifted but the look of astonlshment which
passed over his face, as he held every twig
and branch in his hand, until bare stalk
like a forlorn bachelor, stood up before
him, must be seen to be appreciated. You
see April fool was near at hand"

The Venerable Rev. DR.. Wickham

The hundreds of the pupils of the vener-
able Rev. Joseph d. Wickham, D. D., of
Manchester, for so many years the popular
principal of Burr seminary at Manchester,
will be pleased to note the respect in which
he is held by the people of his residence as
narrated in the following account of sur
prise visit to him and his good lady, az de-
scribed in the Manchester Journal.
Wednesday, April 4th, Rev. DR.. Wick
ham completed his ooh year. In honor of
the occasion several elderly gentlemen, his
friends, by invitation of Mrs. Wickham,
were gathered at their house for dinner.
While they were seated around the festal
board, the substantial visnds having been
disposed of and the dessert about to be
brought in, the door from the front
hall suddenly opened and Unexpectedly
alike to the guests and to their
entertainers there flashed upon the sight,
brightly Illuminated, structure re-
sembling an Egyptian pyramid. Placed at
the center of the table the lighted tapers
were eXtinguished aud opportunity given
10 the company to contemplate the
structure and to learn something of it's
history.
A card attached, with the marginal
dates, "l707 and 1871" indicated its OBJ
ject;while the names of certain lady friends
of the hostess inscribed thereon signifed
that they also were disposed to do honor to
this anniversary. Having gathered by con-
cert in neighboring dwelling, they each
brought Il cake compounded as their vary-
ing fancy dictated. These being placed
one upon another and so trimmed
as to form regular pyramid the
whole being overspread with thick sugar
coating 80 as to form one immense cake.
Upon each of the several layers or stories,
eight in number, were arranged ten small
wax tapers of divers colors, making eighty
III all. The signifcany of hi, precise
number was obvious enough but the
question arose, g What vas the
import Of the solitary wax
candle on the apex of the the pyramid ?
Did it indicate that its fair devisers were
hopeful that the 81st year of him who they
meant to honor would surpass in brillancy
the combined taper lights of hs past yearep
Or, since it is written that "a virtuous
woman is q crown to her husband" did
the single larger light which crowned the
ingenious structure symbolized the one
who is often denominated "the light of the
household?" We learn from the proses-
sore, that this valuable gift viii be kept
entire for the present; but whenever its
interior shall be penetrated, it will doubt
less be found that the materials of its
composition, when tested by the proper
sense, will be as grateful as the exterior is
beautiful.

a Card for Rational Readers

Irrational people always reject goo advice,
and ia nothing is their folly more frequently
conspicuous than in ignoring precautions nee
essary for the retention of health. Forecast,
on the other hand, is notable characteristic
OF the rational, and 1t is the exercise OF this
quality which We would suggest TO them. Pro-
tect the system against diseases which fasten
upon the debllitated, the nervous and the dys-
peptc, by bracing the physique, regulating the
stomach, bowels and liver. and banishing des-
pondency with the purest and most efficient OF
botanic invgorants, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. That these effects follow Its use, and that
1t prevents as well as annihilates Intermittent
and remittent fevers, are facts established by
indIsputablc evidence. TO enjoy the twin
blessings OF ga sound mind and sound body
In all their plentltude, try course OF this sterl-
ing medicine.

sharp reaction in the market. John Tracy

dency of the Chicago and Rock Island

The Louisiana Question.
WASHINGTON, April. IL

WASHINGTON, Apru. To-
The Louisiana commissioners In long
cypher dispatch to the president yesterday
circumstantially relate the result OF their
conference. They hnd the Nichols party
are not disposed to make any concessions,
but will maintain their ground, in the be-
lief that ultimately, as in the Hampton
case. they will have full and unobstructed
possession of the Louisiana stats govern
ment. The Packard party are ready to
enter into an arrangement for joint legis-
lature TO determine which is the legal gov
eminent. The president declines to act
upon the request, as under the present cir
cumstances he would not be justified in
makings decision. The commissioners
ask for further Instructions. To-day the
telegram from the commissioners was laid
before the cabinet. Further instructions
will be sent to the commissioners.
