rue VILLAGE OF nANoyEI

Dotn physical ana moral. kroH UbSerVa-
tory Hill you have some charming views
Of the Connecticut, and also take in Mt.
Ascutney, mentioned in Holmes Elsie
venner. Some very distinguished persons
have lived here. Prof. Chas. Young, at
present Protessar qt Princeton, and a
noted astronomer, was bonn SAD lived here
until two years ago. Ex.President Vol.
sey's granddaughter, "Susan Coolidge"
Is said TO have founded the facts of "M!h.!a.t
Katy Did at School," Mt Hanover. The
woods about here are filled with beautiful
pine trees and endless varieties OF ferns.
Along the walks bordering the streets are
stately elms. On this very spot where l
am writing Daniel Webster had his rooms
when at Dartmouth College. Probably
the handsomest residence and grounds
in the village are those owned by Mr.. Hi
ram Hitchcock, present manager Of the
Filth Avenue Hotel, New York. He was
the intimate friend and supporter Of Gs4.
Cesnola in his explorations and researches
in Cyprus, and it is largely owing TO his
enlightened liberality that the famous re.
suits OF those researches are due. Read.
ers OF General Cesnola's book will remem.
Der that he and Mrs. Hitchcock are men.
toned there with great respectand regard.
POLITICS.
The politics OF New Hampshire are in
rather DUBIOUS condition. The Repub.
lican caucus held at Concord last night
nominated Hon. II. W. Blair, OF Plymouth,
for the U. S, Senate. ..s
Blair has served for several terms in the
House OF Representatives and is the au.
thor Of the absurd constitutional amend
ment proposing TO prohibit the manufac.
ture and sale Of alcoholic liquors in the
United States after I've year 1900! that is Ia
say he would cut of the supplies OF our
grand child. Also in that direction, while
allowing US and our children full swing
1t is not to be inferred that Mr.. B. does moi
see the Joke in such ridiculous PROPOSE
ton; but only that he has accurately
gagged the intellect OF the temperance re
formers in this State. II was a bait to the
reform cluss which have become q power
in politics in New Hampshire as is shown
by the election Of Matt Head as Governor
last fall, and now by the nomination O
Blair to the Senate. The nomination is II
the interest Of and directed by William
J.. Chandler, who Is the "BosS" OF Stat
politics here. Mr.. C.'s preference wa
understood to be for Blair second: his frs
choice nlOdety forbade him to name.
The most prominent aspirants for thu
nomination, rext to the successful com
petitor, were General Marstop, Of Con
cord, man OF great legal learning ant
moreover the foremost soldier OF New
J Hampshire, in the late struggle, ex.Sena
tor Wadleigh, respectable and worthy
; ; but not brilliant man, and eX.Senato
James w. Patterson Of Hanover, wht
. was laid on the shelf By the Credit Mobil
Ter exposure. He is popular hereat hi
home, andis generally believed to be
scapegoat Tor thesins Of others. He ha
: lately been coming 10 the front again
! having been elected to the Legislature 10
: the last two years. 1t is supposed thu
' this nomination Is great disappointment
) for he has been planning for two years !
. capture 1t. He has been lecturing tncesE
antly before Reform Clubs, bycenmt

Culture Associations, making addrcsse

, But the credit nobiller spectre has bee
