PRETTY PLAcQUEs.-Messrs. c. I. Hood
& Co., of Lowell, own the designs for four
very pretty PLAQUES, copies of which they
offer for the very low price of twenty-five
cents for the set, or twenty cents for any
three. The designs are all pleasing. and
aset of the pictures would be appreciate
in very many homes. The low price at
which they are offered, which scarcely
covers the cost of manufacturing and
mailing, is explained by the fact that
Messrs Hood use them for the purpose of
advertising their well known medical
preparations. The pictures, however are
not dsfgured, the reverse side of the
picture bearing the advertisement. They
can be obtained by sending the price
named to Messrs. c, I. Hood & Co,

A PATTERN PARsoN-A writer in the
Concord Monitor of Saturday speaks thus
Of a Vermont Methodist minister: At
the depot this morning, the writer met
his friend, Rev. Peter Merrill one of the
Oldest and most substantial Methodist
clergymen of northern Vermont, returning
to Northliold, where he is now stationed,
with his wife and daughter, from Il short
vacation visit to his friends in Wakefield,
N. H., and lIaverhill, Mass. Tie was born
Mt Corinth, W., in 1921, and attended the
Methodist Seminary at Newbury nine
terms before reaching his majority, This
school, since removed to Montpelier, was
then in charge of the late Bishop Baker,
of whom Elder Merrill speaks in the
highest terms as IN instructor. Elder
Merrill informs us that he preached four
years, beginning ut Sutton and Burke,
before he was married to his present wife,

10th year of his ministry, having been

Sutton and Burke, then wildwood places
up the Passumpsic, in 1913, he received
annual salaries Of from $50 to 800 only
during his first four years, which after he
married was increased to 5000. His
present salary at Northlield is $3.50, and
house rent. On this pay he assured the
writer that he had managed to accumulate
little property, enough to educate his
children-(we know that one daughter, at
least, is very finely oducated)--and stick
to preaching in Vermont. Did you never

The County Convention,

Therepublican convention held in Mont
peller on Saturday last was very ike
other political conventions. of course
there was nothing TO do but TO endorse the
ticket already framed by the local party
managers. although there was as usual
liberal disponsation of gush over the
assembling of tue noble freemen OF the
county TO soborly decide who shall be the
standard bearers Of the party in the COM
ing day of election. The convention being
called as en- ns1SsC it was a violation OF
good faith for it TO resolve itself into
delegate convention by deciding that the
attendants from each town should hold an
impromptu caucus, and choose two MEM
bers from said towns as a part Of nomi-
mating committee of the convention. 1t
was also a striking illustration of the
facility with which a politician can drive
two horses at the same time and in oppo-
site directions, to hear men argue before
dinner for such delegation, and after
dinner against delegate convention.
However, for political convention it was
we'll appearing assemblage, and the
ticket put in nomination is, so far as we
have information at this time, worthy OF
unusual commentator. We heard some
comments to the effect that some of the
nominees are not such men as will be
likely to rank as leaders in debate, or in
legislation, but for ourselves we are not
so anxious to know that great brains are
in the legislative and executive depart
ments, as we are to know that live con-
sciences may BIO found there. We already
Love tvv much of brains and too little oil
conscience in the official departments oil
our government, for although brain power
is always to be valued, yet when unaccom-
panied by a living conscience to steady
and balance it, it is a dangerous thing to
send into legislative or executive depart
ments Of the government. One positive
utterance of this convention is worth all
the platitudes of the entire history of
conventions so far heard during the pres
ent campaign. This is in reference to the
enforcement of the prohibitory law, and
the direct and plain statement that the
convention expects its nominees to the
Senate to vote in approval of the proposed
constitutional amendment. Let the party
stand on this platform in the day of trial
and it shall have our endor sement, our
vote and our allegiance.
We know how that resolution came to
be incorporated in the report of the COM
mittee on resolutions, and we have to say
hero, in Justice to the republican conven-
ton of Washington county, that if the
party will always take as kindly to
prohibitory doctrines and then to prohibi-
tory work in accordance with such
doctrines as did that committee, and the
convention, it need apprehend no secession
on the part of the friends of temperance,
and no agitation Of the third party move
ment as cure for their political discomfort
Altogether we have not felt SO loyal" to
the republican party for years rs since the
convention on Saturday last. Pray for US
bretheron, that our faith fail not before
election day.

NJ. 8ARTuoLDfs GREAT STATUE FoH
New York IARBoR.-On tho Goth of
this month there was breakfast given in
very original dining saloon. This saloon
was neither more nor less than the interior
of statue; and not its torso or middle,
but simply the knee pan of ono of its legs.
1t was not breakfast of two or three
around ltJlc table, but little banquet
of twenty persons, and they had plenty of
room. The statue in question is that of
Liberty Lighting the World" destined
for New York bay. The artist, NJ. Bar.
tholdi, wished to show n few of his friends,
who are journalists, the advanced state of
the work. They ascendod q ladder until
they reach the scaffolding upon which the
statue is placed. The dishes reached them
by means Of pully. Overhead was the
blue sky queerly crossed by the iron braces.
The portion of the statue already finished
reaches beyond the knee, and it is about / 5
metres high. 1t will be the largest statue
that the world has ever seen. The Colos.
sus of Rhodes was only 80 metres high.
st. Charles Borromeo Of lake Maggiore is
SO metres; but Bartholdi's statue, meas
uring from the foot to the extremity of the
torch that it raises with the right arm, will
be AZ metres. 1t Is considered great
thing in the st. Charles Borromco that
one can sit comfortably on its nose; but
it is quito another matter in the case OF Lib
crty. Twenty people can stand upon tho
big toe which extends beyond her robe.

There are people that claim, first, that
beer is not intoxicating; second, that
when it does intoxicate it makes man
either good naturally or stupidity drunk,
and not, like whiskey, quarrelsome. Tho
Cincinnati Ga2ette, the great anti-beer
organ of the west, in its issue OF last
Wednesday, reported the cases on the
Monday police court docket. The Monday
before the passage of the Smith Sunday
closing bill there were ca cases on the
docket; after that for six weeks the num-
bers were under 40; now, under the non
enforcement of the law, the court fills up
again to Is cases. An analysis shows
that IL of the 65 were cases of drunk on
beer" with the words land disorderly''
or other like addition after 20 of them
In most of these cases enquiry brought
out the fact that the offenders were each
one Of crowd, the other members of
which did not appear in court. Add to
this the assaults that the police did not
know Of, and we have an interesting COM
mcntary on the assertion that beer does
not intoXicatc.

TROUBLE IN THE ADIRoNDACKs.-Con-
siderable excitement has been created at
Pittsburgh by the sale of fifty thousand
acres in the heart of the Adirondack region
to Il company Of lumber dealers. The
tract covers the region of St. Regis Lake
and the Upper Saranac, so well known and
loved by anglers. The purchasers intend
to build track from the Ogdensburgh and
Lake Champlan railroad to the center of
tho wilderness and construct saw-mills at
many points along the line. The great
tract of splendid pine timber will be
despoilod; tho clear streams choked with
slabs and sawdust; tho breeding places OF
the trout polluted, and every quality
destroyed that has given the North Woods
their attractiveness and fame.

The United States Circuit Court, sitting
at Lcavonworth, Kansas, has decided
that the printed rule of the telegraph
companies that they will not be responsible

thing not to be respected. The decision
was that "any rule or regulation of the
company which seems to relieve it from
performing its duty belonging to the en-
ploymont with integrity, skill and dill
gence, contravenes public policy as welt
as tho law, and under it tho party at faul-

have the said message repeated to secure
accuracy then the law devolYes upon them

Considerable attention is paid in Louisi-
ana, just now, TO the cultivation of the
sunfower. The stems, when dried, are
used for kindling wood, the seeds are given
to the poultry and sick horses, and the
flowers are put about peoples houses to
ward off malaria. The sunAower seems
to be common place as well as aesthetic.

that one may be trained 6y his calling,
and especially by the calling of the farmer.
He who gives not merely his hands but
also his mind and thought to farming will
have his thought SO exercised. his mind so
enlarged and stimulated that he will be n

are men in every occupation who are but
little more intelligent and capable at sixty
than they were at twenty, because having
once got into routine they keep going
round and round in it, making no more
progress than horse working at brick
machiue. But there are other men who
are all the while being educated by their
business into more intelligent, more cap
able, wiser and stronger men, II we look
into the mental action which we prescribe
in the school in order to promote education
of the faculties, and then into the mental
