ABOUT WEBSTER.

Greeley, writes the Hermit y of tho Troy
Times, never was q Webster man, fact
which was the more remarkable when we
remember that both were from New Hamp-
shire Greeley admired Webster's genius,
but that was all. He loved Clay, however,
with intense enthusiasm. and devoted his
best energies to his support. Raymond, on
the other hand, was among Webster's most
active supporters, and here we have one Of
the most striking points of difference be-
tween these two distinguished journalists.
When Webster visited the University of YER
mont In 1870 Raymond was selected by the
students to make the address of welcome.
Four years afterward Webster delivered his
great speech at Albany, and Raymond, who
at that time left the Tribune for the Gu
yier reported it for his paper. The &C
quaintance thus begun led to friendship,
and when the great statesman died Ray
mond was the first 10 publish his biography.
webster's last appearance in public in this
city wasatal evee held in the City Hall, where
he gave his hand to a vast multitude As /
now recall the statesman-his grave and ma
jestic countenance, his wonderful eyes, and
then his digniied form clad in the traditional
blue coat with velvet collar, set of by the
buff vest--it Is even now ON impressive
memory. A few months afterward he re-
turned being on his way TO Marshfeld to
die. His ambition was broken, and he pass
cd through the city as rapidly ms possible,
seeking rest and seclusion in that cherished
home which so soon was tho scene of his
funeral

RESCUED FROM DEATH.-The follow
ing statement of William J. Coughlin, Of
Someryille, Mass, Is SO remarkable that
we beg to ask for 1t the attention of our
readers. He says : I'm the fall of 1876

lungs followed by severe cough. soon
began to lose my appetite and flesh. l
was SO weak at one time that could not
leave my bed. In the summer of 1877
was admitted to the City Hospital. While
there the doctors said had no lie in my

ed over a hundred dollars 10 doctors and

the past three years.

THE LATE HOUSE OF AssEMBLY.-The
one hundred and sixth Legislature of our
State has adjourned, and forever. 1t is
we'll. 1t had been much better for our
State, its good name and its future, if
that Legislature had never assembled. By
accident the Democrats had a majority in
the House of Assembly. 1t is lamentable
that it was SO; lamentable for the State,
ten fold lamentable for the party. 1t will
doubtless be many years before we shall
again be in a majority there or in either
House. If the proceedings of the late
session are a criterion, it will be far better
that some one else should be in major
ity. There are few discerning, we'll
minded Democrats, in the State, who
have observed the sessions doings, who
have not repeatedly regretted our major
ity in the lower house; there are few such
Democrats who have not of late regretted
that their party had control of any branch
of the State government. Viewing the
work of the session as whole, we are at
less to see the good results, but the evil
thereof is so ratent on all sides that
special reference is unnecessary. Even
on the score of economy, on which the
Governor launched out in his message
with such loud professions, and which
Democratic demagogues in the Assembly
took up and reiterated, the record is sadly
against u.s. Warren Democrat.

The new comet continues to give prom
Use of brilliant future. In three or four
weeks it will probably be conspicuous in
the northern sky, but at present it cannot
be discerned by the naked eye. Even in
the telescope it is a faint object, but the
observer quickly perceiyes that, under
the mighty pull Of the sun, it is quicken
ing its flight every hour and rapidly grow
ing larger. In June it win dart into its
perihelion, sweep around the sun, and, it
is hoped, burst into blaze of cometary
glory. The direction of its flight is such
that, if it does not fling out long tail,
we shall have fine view of it. The comet
will at no time come near the earth, but
it will be one of the most remarkable ever
known for its close approach to the sun.
The figures of the calculators vary, but
all agree that the comet will 60 very close
to the sun, and some express doubt
whether it may not strike the solar orb.
In that event we may behold such spec
tacle as man never witnessed before, or,
more likely, we shall know nothing fthe
catastrophe to the comet except what the
astronomers tell us. At any rate, we
have no fear of the consequences.

LETTER From RlNGoEs.
RINeoEs, N. j., April II, 1888.

RINeoEs, N. j., April II, 1882.
The rains of last week and the warm
sunshine of Saturday, caused the grass by
the waysides to spring forth with exultant
joy as it we're, and proclaim with silent
tongue the beauties of spring, and
command all to listen to its glad surprise;
while the robin and blue-bird with threats
of sweetest music, echo the glad refrain
from tree to tree, aud sing of the beauties
Of nature. But the cold rain and snow of
yesterday and the bleak northwest wind
Of to-day, CT nse the lately planted cab
bage aud other vegetables to assume a
faded look and wishful appearance for
more sunshine. The husbandman has
also begun to consider the prospect of a
good peach crop and abundance of other
fruits, and scan his wheat field With eager
eyes and wishfnl hope that he may be
blessed with an excellent crop.
DR.. A. NJ. Hart has beautified AMI i'm
proved his property by placing new
fence from his residence to the sheds ad-
joining the hotel. 1t is also his intention
to place new plank-walk alongside Of Il.
These improvements viii add greatly to
the appearance of his property in that
locality. If other citizens of the town
would note such improvements and prac-
tice them, the town would present better
appearance and be more pleasant to
the eyes of strangers.
Our new hotel keeper is remodeling the
interior of the hotel building and adding
to its beauty and convenience, by paper
ing and painting it. 1t is expected that
when he finishes, the house will afford the
greatest of convenience to travellers aud
those desiring to stop over night or board
for time.
A skillful painter has taken charge of
the paint shop attached to the blacksmith
shop of Mr.. Stamets, and is ready to do
all kinds of work in that line.
Our plank walk is becoming consider
ably out of repair again and we hope it
will not remain long in this condition. A
little attention and repair at present VIII
save much work and expense at some
future time.
We are glad to note several items in
the Democrat from the pen of our friend
Avis" We hope he may continue to
give us the different notes of interest that
take place in that illage of pretty girls
aud an ugly school-teacher."
We are informed that lively timo en-
sued between two female persons of our
town number of days ago, but have not
learned the particulars of the occasion,
and are thereby obliged to defer any fur
Their account until we receive the details
Items of news are not very abundant at
present, as no one of our town has had
the misfortune to receive any serious ac-
cidents of late no runaways have taken
place, and nothing more serious than the
above has happened. Our readers will
therefore be comforted to know that we
are getting quite peaceably along and are
respectfully civilized outside of political
times. PUP.

The effect Of speculation in wheat was
particularly noticeable last week. Owners
of vessels not only wished to take it to
Europe for nothing, but absolutely offered
q premium 1t was wanted for ballast.
But spectators had forced the price so
high that there is no money in the bust
ness even with free freights. And it is SO
in every article of consumption; the law
of supply and demand is ignored and
every loaf of bread that poor man eats
is made desrer to pay for building costly
exchanges and supporting In luxury
class of men who never did an honest
