Burdette, or Roaming Robert" OF
the Burlington, Iowa, Ha,cheye, who
has been up in New Hampshire in q
lecturing tour. thus writes of the old
town:
Broad, lovely meadows flank the vii,
lage and through the clouds of mist and
the steady falling rain I could discern
the rounded outlines of the hills that
overlook them. 1t is not q noisy. bust
ling, busy village, but it is attractive
and its surroundings are beautiful. 1t
is old as Black River, nearly. Any
how, the town of Charlestown has been
here ever since 174O. They were lit
tie short of names then, so they called
it Number Four, as though the lovely
village was a convict in a penitentiary.
This is singular, because it was settled
by Massachusetts people, and yon
would naturally expect them to call it
Old North Center Something Falls or
Corners. or some short, explicit name
like that. Its name was changed to
Charlestown to do honor to Sir Charles
Knowles, because man named
Stevens, Captain Stevens. in 1747. gal
lsntly defended the fort with hand
full of men, only thirty men, against a
long and desperate attack of four hun
dred French and Indians. Captain
Stevens held the fort and repulsed the
enemy at every point, and at last they
gave up the fight and retreated into
Canada. The name of the town was
then changed to Charlestown, in honor
of Commodore Sir Charles Knowles.
Commodore Sir Charles knowles did
not do any fighting. He was not there.
He was on board his ship at Boston, all
the time. believe he sent Captain
Stevens a sword. He had no use for it
himself, so he sent it to the captain
who did use one. I understand he
gave it to the captain; didn't charge
him a cent for it. This is why the
town is called Charlestown, instead oil
Stevensville.

Sister Paulinc'S Basket.

In an account of the quaint and Gu.
rious ways of the Ephrata pa com
munity, in The Century for December,
appears this paragraph:
"We now crossed the meadow ground
to take look at the other large build
ing, and on our way passed two dilapi-
dated little dwellings,, one of which
probably is the one occupied for long
time by Conrad Beissel, the founder of
the Ephrata cloister. The second con-
vent we now came to, designated as
Saron, or the Sisters house, is in its
external appearance very much like its
mate, Bethania-huge, oppressive, and
gloomy, sheathed in black shingles,
and dotted with little square windows.
The rooms and passages. however, are
quite differently plotted, and seem to
have been altered to suit the uses of
more recent times. In one of the
cells We noticed huge hamper; its
size, in fact, compared with the dimen-
sions of the door. was suggestive Of
the Chinese puzzle, the imprisoned
ivory ball. much too large for the aper-
lures of the incasing cell. How was
this oyergrown basket ever squeezed
through 80 narrow an opening? 1t
never was. An industrious nun, bent
upon doing some good and useful
work for the monastery. piled in her
cell, for many days and weeks, her
busy hands, to weave for domestic
needs that extraordinary piece of wick.
erwork. She did not discover, until
she had finished it, that it was much
too large to pass through the door OF
her cell. And SO it remains there, IN
perpetuam rel memOriam."

NOTES OF THE DAY.

in a suit the other day, and acted as
her own counsel. During the life OF
her husband she endorsed a note for
friend, and the friend failing to pay
II, she was sued for the amount. Mrs.
Lockwood pleaded coverture, bus it
appeared that she signed the note IN
the course of her business as an at

withdraw the plea under pain of dis
barment.

NEARING THE END,

The Guiteau trial is practically
closed. The last speech of the defense
has been made; the judge will proba-
bly, deliyer his charge to the jury to-
morrow, aud tkey will take the case.
The verdict will come soon enough.
The trial has been long and tedious
one. Commencing on the l4th of No
vember, just two months ago yester-
day, il has held the boards" through
those months as the afterpiece Of the
tragedy that opened OH the I'd of July
and closed September 10. In many
respects IT has been the most
notable case eyer heard in an Amer
lean court, attracting the atten-
ton of the world outside OF America.
There have been times when the pa
tieuce and forbearance of the public
underwent severe tests. Guiteau,
from the very outset, posed as har-
lequin with cap aud bells, cutting his
capers and cracking his ghasuy jibes
upon the newly-sodded grave of the
dead President. If ever a man DOS
sessed the traits best calculated to ex-
cite the disgust and stimulate the
aversion OF even those who were
inclined to Judge him charitably, it
is this man Guiteau. To the credit
of the nation be il said that he
has not only lived this long, but that
he has enjoyed the tairest of fair trials.
Outrsging decency, custom and law
day after day, he has yet been allowed
to indulge his capriciCus temper to an
extent that less fortunate criminals
had rarely dared to dream of, much
less attempt or exercise. Whatever
his fate il can never be said that the
law he violated was unduly severe on
him. He has had more generous treat
meut than would have been shown had
hod-carrier iustea,! of President
been his victim. A weak, miserable
creature, he was yet potential in his
importance and laughed at the nation
he had outraged. We shall hear the
iury's verdict very soon, and what
ever its purport it is to be hoped pub
lie sentiment will acquiesce therein as
cordially as it has in the assertion of
law and national dignity, illustrated !

The Bryan Pilot assumes that G..
W. Jones will be an independent can
didate for Governor this year. 1t re-
CARDS him as an exceptionally able
man, who will not only be able to poll
the combined vote of the republican
and greenback parties, but who will
also be able to attract thousands OF
democratic votes. On these accounts
the Pilot urges the democrats should
cast about for their strongest man to
oppose Mr.. Jones. In the estimation
of the Pilot, Hon. John II. Reagan is
that strongest man.
