III. N. BRYANT.

The above named gentleman lectur-
ed on temperance here short time ago
and organized q Lodge of Good Temp
lars, and of whom the Rutland
Inquirer darkly hints III. NJ Bryan
the temperance speaker, who has for
some time been working in this state,
has returned to his home in Maine. 1t
is to be hoped that he will remain
there. He made a disgraceful exbbi-
ton of himself when in Rutland.
The Burlington Clipper says: We are
credibly assured that one day the first
of last week Que of the celebrated ex.
orters from down in Maine, and no
less q parsonage than II. NJ. Bryant,
on leaving Rutland went a little "ziy-
zag," and at Essex Junction found
it necessary to take sncoze before
filling an engagement to lecture at
Richmond. Az Eessex junction he
met an old friend from Maine, whom
he assured Vermont was the State to
talk temperance in at $3.50 month,
and at Richmond no doubt he was in
good condition to speak of The awful
evil Of rum Is it not about time some
Of these tramps were sent to the work
house? This importing drunkards to
talk temperance to the sober people OF
Vermont should not be encouraged.

Cutting Glass With Scissors.

Many persons may not be aware that glass
can be cut under water with great ease, to
almost any shape by simply using a pair OF
shears or strong scissors. In order to insure
success two points must be attended the first
and most important, the glass must be kept
quite level in the water while the scissors are
applied; and, secondly, to avoid risk, it is
better to begin the cutting by taking off small
pieces ut the corners and along the edges,
and so reduce the shape gradually to that re-
quired, for If any attempt is made to cut the
glass all at once to the shape, as we should cut
a apiece of cardboard, it will most likely break
where it is not wanted. Some kinds of glass
cut much better than others, the softer glasses
being the best for this purpose. The scissors
need not be at all sharp as their action does
not appear to depend on the states of the
edge presented to the glass. When the oper-
alton goes on well the glass breaks away
from the scissors in small pieces in a straight
line with the blades. This method OF cut
ting glass has often been Of service when a
diamond has not been at hand, for cutting
ovals and segments, and though the edges
are not so smooth as might be desired for
some purposes, yet it will answer in a great
many cases. The two hints given above, if
strictly followed, will always insue success.

Yellowstone Journal, nth. .
EdwarlA. Russell, of Waco, Texas, intends
bringing two thousand head of cattle in this
spring, also a thousand head for j. Russell,
proprietor of the st. Louis House in Miles
City.
County Commissioner Guy had this year
one hundred acres in oats, yielding an aver
age of fifty bushels TO the acle, which lie has
disposed of at fifty-two and one half cents per
bushel. That is a tolerable good showing
for a young country.
With another years careful cultivation the
gardens hereabouts will probably bear vege-
vegetables equal in size and flavor to the
famous ones of the Pacific slope.
From parties who have just returned from
the upper Tongue River we learn that a
superior quality of wild plums abound in
that region.
Over three hundred registered letters were

On the battle field the hand that strikes
down the armed foe is never employed in
despoiling that foe as soon as the darkness of
the night covers the scene. So in strikes the
men VINO take an open, defiant attitude j n
contending for what they consider their rights
are never guilty of the cowardly and brutal
excuses with which strikes are often accom-
panied. At the Pittsburg riots the torch was
applied by a brigade of tramps no more to be
identified with the strikers than are camp fol-
lowers to be COMPOUNDED with the best drilled
soldiers. At Fall River, a day or two ago, we
may be confident it was not the striking work.

very noticeable return Of prosperity. The
almost total disappearance Of the tramp nui-
sance; the general advance in laborers' wages
and in the price of building material are
signs which cannot be misunderstood even
by the inveterate croaker. On the other
hand, labor strikes, short hours, closed mills,
reduction of wages, ETC., is the burden OF
England's industrial news. That America
was outbidding England in the general mar
kets of the world has long been known, but
