ST. JOHNSBURY, VT, FRIDAY, IL,

OF the Savoy peaks and, at the top OF
the Jungfrau, then fifty miles up the
Rhone to Brigue, and over the Simplon
Pass to the Italian lakes-this has been
the work and the pleasure of the last
three days. We would gladly have
tarrled longer amidst the "crags and
peaks" but the herdsmen were starting
their fiocks down the mountains,-yet
Keeping them back till the higher pas
ture was cropped so close that it SEEM
ed newly mown, "the Alp is fed off,
Schiller says,-and now it is safe to go
TO sunny Italy.
On our way we tarried for lunch at
the Simplon Hospice, now kept by the
st. Bernard Monks, one of whom show
ed us over the great building. 1t has a
neat chapel, large, but plainly furnish
ed guest rooms, and rooms for the
monks that showed no luxurious living.
No charge for entertainment is made
here, and the monk to whom I offered
money would receive none, but one
may put into the offering box at the
chapel door whatever he likes. Here
as in many other places on the noun
tains are kept the great st. Bernard
uogs who save lives every year by
dragging benumbed travellers to shell
ter, and every three or four miles along
these passes are houses of refuge.
Storms come here unheralded. and one
often looks through the rain to sun
shine in the valleys below. Of the
lakes, hereafter.
Yours sincerely,

A Presidential Triplet.

In the town of South Starksboro, in
Addison county, resides couple named
Hoskius, who during the administra-
ton of Lincoln became the parents of
three boys at one birth. President Lin
coin, upon hearing of the circumstance,
named them as follows: Abraham
Lincoln, Simon Cameron and Gideon
Wells. The three babes have now
grown to manhood, and are strong and
healthy men. The parents have several
other children born some time before
the triplets, and others that were born
after them. The, pn1her has sister
hoo children at anOCnef Time
anu four at another, the two latter
making seven children within seventeen
months. A part only of these children
survived the first year.

ANEcDoTE OF GREELEY.-One day a
stranger came into the office, looking
angry, and inquired for Greeley. l
pointed him to the little den where
Greeley was scratching away for dear
life, and he made for it. AS he went in
heard him say: "You - old hyp-
ocrite !" Greeley did not look up or
even pause, but kept driving his pen
madly on, his nose within a couple of
inches of the paper and his lips whis-
pering the words after the pen, as was
his wont. The fellow continued, call
ing Greeley's attention to an article
that had offended him, and denouncing
him as villain, coward and liar,
with an oath about every other word,
meantime threatening to "knock his
head off," Greeley didn't stop for mo-
ment, but jabbed his pen into the ink
and wrote on unruffied by the blasphe-
my. At last the intruder exhausted
his vocabulary, and turned to leave the
room, when Greeley jumped up and
squeaked out to him, ''Say, neighbor,
don't go! Stay here and free your
mind T-OIiUer johnson.

said it in the meadow-path,-
say it on the mountain stairs
The best things any mortal hath
Are those which every mortal shares
The air we breathe-the sky-the breeze
The light without us and within
Life, with its unlocked treasures
Gods riches-are for all to win.
The grass is softer to my tread
For rest it yields unnumbered feet;
Sweeter to me the wild-rose red,
Because she makes the whole world sweet.
Into your heavenly loneliness
Ye welcomed me, o solemn peaks
And me in every guest you bless
Who reverently your mystery seeks.
And up the radiant peopled way
That opens into worlds unknown,
1t will be lite's delight to say,
Heaven is not heaven for me alone"
Rich through my brethren's poverty
Such wealth were hideousl L am blest
Only in what they share with me,
In what share with all the rest.

RUM NOT A NECESSITY
Park and Ocean Grove, which, during
the ''season" are now large cities by
the sea, prohibit the liquor traffic. In
commenting upon the season of 1879
the Ashbury Park Journal says: can
other summer season is about closing
with us, and on all sides we hear it said,
'it has been the best, financially, we have
ever known 1t has frequently been
said that seaside town cannot thrive
without the sale of liquor. We think
the seven years of our existence ought
to be enough to demonstrate the fact
that rum is not only not necessity,
but that any community is thousand
fold better off without it.D

The Country Needs steadiness.

The Worcester Spy is level-headed
when it maintains that the gambling
element in stock, merchandise, or what
ever other traffic, if it cannot be de-
nOunced and frOwned out of existence,
can be overborne by a sufficient volume
of trade being in conservative hands.
There are cool heads that are more than
a match for hair Drained spectators.
Steadiness is what the times demand,
and some body of business men must
stamp them with this characteristic.
We have had enough of fiightiness and
as affairs seem to have settled down on
a solid basis, and movement has be-
gun which inspires hope in wide circles,
it is the plainest dictate of prudence
that the people pursue their march to
success in the hard worn paths of sober
experience. If this demon of specula-
ton could be exercised from our cOun-
trymen, Il far brighter future could be
predicted than the most hopeful now
dare to picture as within the range OF
probability.

threatened to take their lives or to burn
down their houses and drive them off.
They did not want them there. And
yet the missionaries bore all with pa
tience and fortitude, Mrs. Moffat show
ing herself not less heroic than her
husband. She lived to bring up her
family and to return with her husband,
few years ago, to spend the evening
of their days in their native country,
but she has since entered into rest,
while he still lives to do much good
missionary work, honored and beloved
by all who know him.

ATTRACTIVE LUNCHEONS.-A writer
in Scribnel's Magazine utters protest
against making the school luncheon
so unattractive us to destroy the child's
appetite. She says: "There is some
thing very dampening to the appetite
in the aspect of thick bread and butter
rolled in a bit of coarse brown paper
with a cookie or two sticking to the
parcel, and an apple covered with
crumbs at bottom of pail. Such lun-
cheOn will often prevent delicate child
from eating at all. A little care spent
in preparatiOn--in cutting the bread
trinity and neatly, packing the cake in
white paper, and the whole in fresh
napkin, in choosing Il pretty basket to
take the place of the tin pail-is not
pains thrown away. Some children are
born fastidious and with distaste fol
food. They require to be tempted to
eat at all-tempted, not by unwhole-
some goodies, but by taking trouble tC
make simple things dainty and attract
i've to them. We have heard a grow
| woman, whose fastidiousness had sur.
vived her childhood, describe with {;
shudder the effect which her dinner
basket at school had upon her. The
very sight of it took away all appetite
and she went through the afternoon
faint and fasting rather than meddl,
with its contents. By all means bake
tue custard in pretty cup and d.
what is possible to give the luncheon
an appetizing appearance to the littl
people who depend upon it for tn
working force Of their long school day.

Is Pork WHOLESOME 2-We find
question raised as to the wholesome
ness of pork, some parties declaiming
against it as an article of food. What
piece of folly it is at this late day to
raise such an issue! Pork eaters, COM
prised of about nine-tenths of the civil
lized population of the world, will scout
at such nonsense. For all persons of
active habits pork is just as wholesome
as anything else and far more sustaining.
1t is true that if too much of it is eaten
at time, in other words, if people will
make ''hOgs" of themselves, they will
have to suffer for it as for an ever-mess
of other food. To discard pork would
be to discard one of the main items
going into our "vital Statistics What
would become of the army and navy
of our merchant marine; of, in a word
the great mass of our population, il
pork were to be thrown overheard

The Eureka Leader of Thursday says:
"The funeral of the victims of the Fish
Creek fight, who were buried this after
noon, was one of the largest ever known
in Eureka. The cortege moved at
o'clock, after ceremonies had been held.
First came 80 men ON foot, in double
file, all countrymen of deceased. Next
followed hearse containing one body.
This was followed by wagon appro-
priately decorated in sombre black, and
drawn by four black horses, upon
which was piled three collins, and then
came hearse with another body, the
rear being brought up by a long line of
carriages and wagons, with friends of,
the unfortunates. The procession was
over a half mile in length, and went!ed
its mournful way through the princi-
pal streets, and out the highway to the
cemetery, where the bodies We're con-
signed to their last resting place. A
more solemn and impressive sight than
these burial rites cannot be conceived.
Hundreds of spectators thronged both
sides OF Main from Robbins 10 Pateman

Strike i'm fs,c s,agie.

Sheriff Miller, who returned from the
western part Of the county last evening,
informs Us that an important strike has
been made in the Eagle niue at Spring
Valley. a. large body OF rich ore has
been found in part OF the mine hitherto
unprospected. The lei :. is one of the
largest ever discovered in the counyy.
and the ore, though hitherto worked
exclusively for gald, contained consider
able silver, some specimens assaying
over 800 per ton in that metal. The
mine and mill fifteen STAMP one,
was recently purchased by Elstern men,
and, we believe, was incorporated in
New York city, under the name of the
Vandewater Mil anI Mining Com pany.
The new owners are prospecting the
mine aud repairing the mill, aud their
prospects are very dastering This
mine, like the Lang Syne in Dan Glen,
may prove TO be one Of the best in the
country. The lead is large and we'll de-
fined and experts say it has all the
characteristics OF true fissure vein.

The Robertson Process.

The Idaho world says the Robertson
process is likely to make a lively place
of Rocky Bar. Most all of the mines
are IN the hands of poor men, and
nearly all of them have arastras on
them. With the old way OF working
they could not be made to pay. But
since the Robertson process has been
adopted all, or nearly all, of the gold in
the rock is being savel All the old
mines around Rocky Bar aud the ad-
jacent camps are being relocated, and
everything looks favorable for lively
times there this Fall.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
wIsNEmUCCA's WARRIORS.


Piute Braves IN Regulation Tin form.
The citizens of Wnnemucca were
treated to novel sight yesterday after
noon. About the time the passenger
train from the east was due a detach-
ment of Winnemuccas warriors, ac-
companied by the old Chief and some
two hundred Numbers of the tribe,
marched from their camping ground
west Of the river to the depot. The
warriors carried the stars and stripes
and flag Of truce at the head of the
column. They wore the regulation
uniform, which consists of a breeoh
cloth and few feathers. Their naked
bodies, arms, legs and faces were
painted in colors, yellow, red and black
predominatng The backs and breasts
Of the muscular savages were striped
like zebras, aud their faces were as
hideous as paint and Piutc art could
make them. At the depot, eastern pas
sengers, many of whom never saw an
Indian, were astonished at this strange
sight, and many of the. men, as well
as the women, showed unristakeable
symptoms of fear. The warriors, who
were picked men of the tribe, wheeled
in the street south Of the express Office
and returned to their camp, where they
danced the war dance until completely
exhausted.

A light-footcd Indian and the colorsd
foot racer, who came here a few weeks
ago, ran from the corner of
Fourth and Bridge streets, yester-
day afternoon, to the bridge, for
a purse of ten dollars The Indian was
beaten, the professional shooting ahead
OF him near the Winnemucca Hotel,
and keeping the lead to the levee
Naches claimed that the Indian was
misled by some remarks male by spec
tators near the hotel, but the general
opinion Of those who witnessed the
race is that the colorel man could have
easily distancei the milan. The
Plutes are not fast runners, but their
powers of en- lurance are great.

This will be the closing ight Of the Fan
dango, and the Indians viii dispense to-
morrow.

THE EAGLE,

Situated in Indian District, south of
UnionviIle. was also located many years
ago, and abandoned by the locators. 1t
was subsequently relocated and sold to
the Oakland G.. & S. NJ. Co. This
company built a fifteen-stamp mill with
in few hundred yards OF the mine,
Owing to mismanagement, or some
other cause, the company work I'd the
mine only few months, after which
they leased the property to outsiders,
who made it pay, until it was attached
by creditors and work suspended Re-
Gently it was purchased by eastern
men, among whom is one OF the old
lessees. who are now opening the mine
and extracting rich ore.
These instances ought to induce pros
pectors to, examine many of the old
mining locations in this county, as they
prove conclusively that it does not fol-
low that they are valueless because
prospected to some extent and suisse
quently abandoned.
