W. w Eaton has been nominated
10y the democrats for Congress III the
first Connecticut district. When Mr..
Eaton was in the Senate he was the
only democrat in the United States
from New England, and he was the
only democratic senator that voted
against the electoral commission. If
elected, and the next House is demo-
cratic, he is said to have aspirations
for the speakcrship.

The Montpelier Waterman says
"Of the common school teachers which
the average committee man seeks to
hire, and he commonly succeeds in his
search, probably not one in five hun
dred knows the b of alcohol OF the
brain and human tissues. These re-
formers are getting the cart so far be
fore the horse that there is not the
shadow of IA chance to start the vehicle
OF even to push against the tail board
Let the applicants for teachers posi-
tions understand that this knowledge
is essential to obtain schools, they will
not be very slow in the acquisition OF
such knowledge, or else the teachers
of Vermont are far behind the profess
sion in the sister states.

General Butler on his recent visit to
Washington explained his peculiar re-
lations to the democrats. He said that
he had not gone over to the democratic
party the democratic party had come
over to him. This reminds the New
York Tribune of that Indian who was
found wandering aimlessly and de-
.jectedly in the depths of the forest,
and who upon being asked by friend
ly white if he were lost, proudly struck
his breast and answered, "No, Indian
no lost, wigwam lost" If the general
is not setting an aromatic dish of "crow"
before his democratic camp-followers
for their delectation, then that ex-
pressive term has lost its full and ac-
customed force and meaning.

Apropos of the report that the Yer

inquiries "Won't Sl2,O0O organ
make too much noise for so small IA

a surprise on the whites to cover their

In the resolutions which were intro
duccd in the Vermont house and senate
on the first day of the session, provi-
sion was made that the members should
be furnished, at the expense of the
state, two daily and one weekly news
papers, but the provision for the week
ly paper was struck out in both houses.
We were ut IL loss tn account for this
act, but the ST. Adams Messenger set
ties the question by expressing the
possibility of the members being intlu-
enced by the fear that "some of the
members might commit the indiscretion
of selecting the Argus, the Clipper, or
Earle's Landmark"

probably will live. But error ia an inevi-

young Democracy of Cairo has had no ex-

it has made mistakes though not serious

The present attitude of The BULLETIN

An Initiative Race.

The colored voters are beginning to understand politics as well as if not bet ter than most white voters. Their nat ural disposition to lie and steal, as crops out in the cases of Whitaker and Flip per, is Of great advantage to them dur ing political campaign. One of the candidates for an office at the munich pal election in Austin, not long since. relied on the fidelity of an old family servant to help him out among the col ored voters. The candidate was beaten. After the election he was told that the colored political friend had voted against him. He did not believe it. but meet ing him one day the ex-candidate said:
 "Pll give you dollar, Jim, to tell me whom you voted for"
 "I voted agin you, boss"
 Well. here is the dollar for your can dor"

The Erie Canal.

A few figures given below will show the importance of the Erie canal The principal lines of transportation from the west to the east include ten thousand miles of railway, seven hundred miles of river, sixteen hundred miles of lake and sixteen hundred miles of canal Of the freight brought over them nearly one-fourth of the whole quantity comes through the Erie canal alone, though it is only open six months of the year.
 Exclusive of its branches the canal is three hundred and fifty-two miles long from Albany to Buffalo, and it has near ly eight thousand boats upon it, which travel nine million five hundred thous- and miles in a season. The number of men and boys employed on the boats is twenty-eight thousand, and the number of horses and mules used in towing is about sixteen thousand.
 In the busy seasons about one hun dred and fifty boats reach tide water through the Erie canal daily, and bring more cargo than twenty miles of rail way trains could carry.
 The time of transit between Buffalo and Albany is about eleven days, and the cost of carrying barrel of flour be- tween those two points varies from for ty to fifty cents.
 The railway train attracts attention in every village through which it passes, but the canal boat glides through the narrow inland water way unnoticed, so unobstructive is it. and yet should de- lay occur at one of the locks, in twenty four hours hundreds of boats would ac, cumulate, with as much grain on board as would feed nation for at least one day

A Human Reanstalk.

Jean Condoist has been brought to Paris as medical curiosity from the Haute Caone. According to medical contributor to Parisian cotemporary, this youth, aged 19, took start on the 17th of May, 1881, being then six feet three inches high, and found one morn ing that he had grown an inch. Every week since then he has registered him. self, and on the 14th of September this human beanstalk had gained nearly five inches; he grew five inches more before the 20th of January, 1882, and seven more before March 16, and be now stands seven feet ten inches. All this has been accompanied by great pains in the back, and he stoops con- siderably; but since last June it is his legs only that have grown, and his feet are already twenty-four inches long.

The Earmar's Horse.

"Tll show you boys I've got no dolla hoss," said Farmer Ritchard to the Cleveland horse-jockeys at the races. They made fun of the old man when he entered his horse in the 2:33 class, and thought he was green one and no mis- take. The horse had sand-burrs in his tail and had been christened St. Louis, as another evidence that he was slow. He started in and came near being dis tanced in the first heat. The old man thereupon got all the bets he wanted al a hundred to one. Then St. Louis was let out and came in away ahead in three straight heats. It was after the second heat that Farmer Ritchard gave ex. pression to the words at the beginning of this paragraph, ''rll show the boys I've gotno dollar hossn' The ''boys'' were satisfied.
