The Result OF B0Iting."

It Is especially remarkable that In the
United States the ordinary food Of the people
is far better in quality and more respectfully
cooked than among the masses in any other
country. and the Americans are known to
masticate their food very imperfecty-in
short, to "bolt" it. The habit of boiling is
probably itself due to the general excellence
of the food supply, coupled with the restless
ly busy temperament of the people. Now, it
Is curious that in the Uaited States the de-
generation Of the wisdom teeth has gone
further than ia any European country; that
the jaws are almost always abnornaliy
Short that the lower jaw is apt to be rather
'sunaerhung," and that, as Mr.. Brace assured
Mr.. Darwin, ut il becoming quite common
practice to remove some u the molar teeth
enough to hold the proper number. To these
peculiarities we must attribute in great part
the commences Of the hatchet-face in
America.

before the attack began, he took alarm at the

VERMONT POLITICS.


Although Vermont has no state elec-

tions seem to be going on among
Republican party engineers. The Ia
test rumor is that at u meeting of q
faction recently it was programmed to
run Hon. Frederick Billings OF Wood

First District in place of Col. Chas. II.

is understood will be a candidate for

If the above is really true, it is a very
strong argument in favor of our bi-en-
NAL elections; for that system will give
time to disturb any little game of incu-
baton. Besides, if there is really "a
hen on" those in the secret might keep
still-if the hatch would occur annual
ly-until it occurred; but if put off two
years, the people may find the nest and
break it up. Whether there is the
slightest foundation for the Journal

THE BARTLETT, N. H., MURDER,
A MYSTERY SOLVED.


In May last, a sewing machine agent
named b. L. Elliott, suddenly and
mysteriously disappeared from Bart
lett, N. II. AS no traces could be found
of his whereabouts, and no reason
could be given for his abrupt departure
it twas suspected that he had been foully
dealt with. Suspicion was directed
against one John NJ. Harding, who
lives near the Glen Notch, on the p. 81
o. r. r., and Harding was arrested and
tried for numbering Elliott, but while
the Justice and the community thought
him guilty, still as there was no evil
dence that Elliott was dead Harding
was acquitted. 'Pu bile sentiment was
however against him and the neigh
borhood has been filled with rumors,
pro and c0D, and the excitement has at
times been intense. Last week it was
announced that letter had been re-
ceived by the brother of the missing
agent from the supposed murdered

PASSIONATE EXECUTION OFLAW

In 1876 the legislature of California
made it misdemeanor to lodge in q
room containing less than 500 cubic
feet space for each person. The San
Francisco supervisors by an ordinance
required all prisoners in the county
Jail to have their hair cut to uniform
length of one inch. But one Ho All
How sued the sheriff for cutting off his
cue. The sheriff pleaded in justifica-
ton the city ordinance requiring the
cutting of prisoners hair. To this Mr..
Chinaman demurred, thus raising the
question of the validity of the ordi-
nance. The court sustained the de-
murrer saying that the legislature hay-
ing declared the punishment for viola
ting the statute to be by fine and i'm
prisonment, the supervisors had no
right to add an additional punishment,
that of cutting off the hair, which was
clearly not imposed for any purpose Of
discipline, but was done designedly to
add torture to the confinement. This
naturally suggests to our hinds the
tendencies of the executors Of the law
to punish crime as they think best. If
the sheriff can crop Chinamans cue,
why not his ears? When the law is
used as a shield for insult, then the
criminal is slnitten contrary to the
law civilization then disappears and
barbarism takes its place. 1t would be
well all over the world if the officers
of the law should have it more in mind
that their whims, caprices and person
al notions were not the law. There
would be less petty tyranny exercised
to carry out or sa tisfy personal pique,
the fanaticism or the avarfce Of 7eome
petty officer who has it more in mind
to show his authority, vent his spleen
or get gains, than to execute the law
in the interests of justice and the pub

We are happy to-announce that the
ZGIU war at the Cape seems now to be
about ended. Cetewayo sent three
ambassadors to the British camp with
cattle and an ivory tuslS, the Zulu's en-
blem of peace. The messengers were
sent back but the cattle were detained.
Gen. Wolsey promptly sent word that
this action on the part Of the British
commandant of the camp was blum
der, and made without his approval
or knowledge. This taken together
with the fact that the British have
modified their demands recently made
of the Zulus looks very favorable to a
speedy arrangement. All candid, hui
name men will rejoice at this. AS we
have said previously, the occasion
seems not to be Sufficient cause for the

man. Speculation was then rife, and
the letter was pronounced by many as
n forgery. The accused man, Harding,
having ascertained the whereabouts of
Elliott, on Friday last visited Bethel,
Me.,-the place where the letter was
dated, and there, without any trouble
found Elliott, the missing and sup
posed murdered man, alive and we'll !
On the same day the two men, the sup
posed murdered and the murderer,
Elliott and Harding, together returned
to Bartlett. Harding is now fully freed
from the many suspicious which has so
closely been gathered about him, and
the mysterious disappearance OF the
agent is solved. Elliott being out of
employment, his engagement with the
Sewing Machine Company having ter
minated, came across themountains to
find work, and had gone about from
place to place until he found occupa-
ton at Bethel. Tie claims that he had
heard only of the arrest and acquittal
of Harding, and thinking that his
friend was no longer in trouble he did
not care to make known his where
abouts. Whatever the reasons of his
silence and departure, it is now conclu-
sively shown, beyond a doubt" that
no murder was committed. Several
practical and useful lessons may be
drawn from the matter.-We should
not judge too surely without proof.
Suspicious are often groundless. Every
man should be held guiltless until he
is shown to be guilty of crime.
