A New Style of Stocking.

A New York correspondent says; SIN
New York delightful employment and
beautiful article of dress is accomplished
by knitting what are termed railroad
stockings. The most stupid person can
knit rouud and round, and that is all
that is required.
There is silk knitting thread sold
here at twenty-nine cents ball, four of
which make big pair of stockings but
/ find the yarn too soft, and prefer a
tightly twisted, finer thread, which /
purchase of fringe maker in skeins,
weighing five ounces.
Cast on twenty-eight stitches on the
needles and knit away till you have a
slender pipe (entirely unsuggestive of a
stocking) and about one-half yard long
NOT that, if the stocking is not desired
an extra length. Then knit round once,
dropping every fourth stitch; the dropped
stitches will run to the top of the stock
ing, stripping it in lovely open work and
making it instantaneously one-third
longer, and wide enough for the largest
sort of leg.
After this, the stocking being as many
stitches smaller as you have dropped, you
knit about three inches at that size, and
then toe off. "What no heel 2" L hear
the uninitiated exclaim. No heel. It's
poor foot that won't shape it's own
stocking the old lady said when she knit
them this way; but the extreme elac-
ticity of the railroad hose makes a heel
unnecessary. They are durable, they are
handsome; and they are such jolly
things to have round for work that j
anticipate you will thank me for the
recine.

Mans Ingratitude.

This is an ungrateful world to say the
least. A man will act like a lunatic
when he has the Itching Piles, and de-
clare that he knows he can't live another
day, yet he applies Swayne's Ointment,
the intense itching is allayed at once, he
gets cured, and goes down to the lodge
without one whit of gratitude. When
asked why he looks so cheerful, he
dodges the question by an indifferent an
swer. It's just like man though, isn't
it? 464t

Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Oct. 1, 81.
Those who predicted that President
Arthur would walk strictly in the steps oil
his predecessor and be the executor of the
political will of President Garfield. rather
than president with an individuality and
a will of his own, have begun to learn that
they were mistaken. 1t is said, by those
who ought to know, that there will be
sweeping changes in the cabinet and in
the official personel of the government,
both at home and abroad. 1t is doubtful
if any member of the present cabinet will
hold his portfolio until the regular session
of congress commences. 1t would be idle
to guess who will constitute the new cab
met. The rumor is that Mr.. Boutwell,
will be made secretary Of the treasury.
He held this office under Grant and is
thoroughly acquainted with the routine Of
he department. He is moreover in accord
with the Grant, Conkling and Arthur wing
of the party.
1t is believed that President Arthur in
tends to overhaul the treasury department
from vault to attic. and to explore every
rat hole in it. This department is largely
filled with the political household of the
late secretary, now Senator Sherman, who
forced Arthur to leave the New York GUS
tom house under imputation of dishonesty
and mal-administration. Mr.. Sherman
little thought then that Arthur would be
president of the United States, with power
mercilessly to expose the inner manage
ment of this immense department and to
discharge the large encourage that Sher
man has appointed to lucrative places
Many relations of Mr.. Sherman are in the
treasury department-one of them has
been charged with extensive peculation
and many expect disclosures from the
treasury department scarcely less startling
than those that have been made in the
p ,Stoffice department. x.Secretary Fish,
General Grant and Mr.. Conkling are all
mentioned for the place of Mr.. Blaine.
Gossip is rife and newspaper men, who
hive already arrived in large numbers,
anticipate a unusually interesting season
rom journalistic standpoint. 1t is con,
coded that this will be a very stalwart
administration, in sentiment, at least, but
such is the composition of congress, that
President Arthur will be handicapped and
unable to give pronounced political effect
to ultra blue stalwartism. All his impor-
'ant nominations will depend for confirma-
ton on a democratic Senate.
There are those who energetically insist
hat this will he an Arthur and not
Conkling, administration. but those who
have hastily eliminated Mr.. Conkling from
national politics know little of the past and
see little Of the present. Senator Jones,
the presidents host, went yesterday to
Utica and is now in conference with the
ex-senator. This is not the only straw,
but is is enough if not to break the camel's
back, at least, to show which way the
wind blows.

yearling rams at 5000 each.
Mrs. j. S. Spaulding, widow of the late
DIR. Spaulding of Barre, died at her resi-.
dence on the Dist ult. She was at one time
preceptress of Barre academy and was
much respected by those who knew her.
Henry H. Langdon, NJ. D.. died at Bur-
liugton. on Saturday morning, of consump.
ton. aged ffty-four years. For MANY
years past he has been chairman of the
board of United States examining surgeons
for pensions for this state. He was a
graduate of the Castletop medical college.
Among the many attractions of which
Rutland has to boast is the appearance of
new phenomenon in their literary bor;-
zon which rejoices in the euphonious cog
nomen of The Standard. Judging from
the fate of several previous literary ven.
lures of that embryo city, this new enter.
prise might more fitly be termed The

At Washington.


The special session of the Senate called
to meet next Monday will be notable a
the first gathering of a branch of tn,
legislative department of the government
since the assassination of President Gar
field. In the Senate the two great parties
are quite evenly balanced and, though i
is to be hoped with less asperity thar
before, they will be arrayed against eacl
other. 1t cannot be expected that either
party will yield to the other such constitu
tional and lawful rights as it has even in
the presence of the great calamity. But a
due regard for propriety should prevent
renewal of unimportant wrangling.
When the Senate shall elect president
pro tempore that officer will be next in
line of successor to the presidency to be
followed himself in the line of succession
BY the speaker OF the House when one
shall be chosen. In the event of President
Arthur's death, however. the president of
the Senate would occupy the presi lential
Sioh tiil q uO" ViCSbiOh VI
should be had which by law can in any
case be but little more than year.
The Senate last spring had thirty seven
republicans, thirty seven democrats and
Senators Davis and Malone whom it is
difficult to class. The resignation OF
Senators Conkling and Plat and the
death of General Burnside leaves but
thirty-four republicans now sworn in.
The first duty of the Senate, as now
constituted. will be the choice of pre-
siding officer. Then the two newly
elected senators from New York, Messrs.
Lapham and Miller and Mr.. Aldrich OF
Rhode Island who will succeed General
Burnside should be sworn in.
The democrats have in the first instance
the power to choose a presiding officer.
But after the admission of the new sena
tors, should Senators Davis and Mahonc
vote with the republicans, new presiding
officer might be chosen. In this state o
aft irs there has been some talk that the
organization of the Senate would be at
once completed by making Mr.. Anthony
OF Rhode Island president of the Senate
and fill ng the other offices of the Sena e
with democrats. Should this be done
doubtless the organization thus made
possible that an eff rt may be made if the
republicans should have control of tn.
Senate to change its officers after the new
senators are admitted.
President Arthur has already indicated
that his general course will be in line with
that of his predecessor, but it does not
look AS though the cabinet would remain
unchanged. 1t is as General MlcVeagh
has well said the right Of the president to
carry out his administration with men Of
his own choosing and the country will
hardly hold that President Arthur inheriLs
the present cabinet though there are men
in it that he can probably do no better
than to keep.
The new president has for the last three
months grown in, the conf lence of the
people, and they will be satisfied if being
the man he appears he goes on and is
president himself. They would not be
satisfied if his administration should be
really that of Mr., Conkljng. This they
would not endure. But the indications
are that General Arthur will be president
himself and will make good ono.
