When Troppmann, the phenome
nal murderer, was executed at Paris.
sundry of the good people of Pantin,
cheated of the spectacle, complained
that by rights he should have been
guillotined at Pantin. The local
magistrate, however, happened to be
a man of much presence of mind,
and pacified the grumblers by point
ing out that if Troppman had been
guillotined at Pantin the decapita
ton would have been pronounced
void for informality.

some company, a lot of little girls. to

stay to tea. and asked his mother to
make them stay, but she said she

them. Keep them the way you keep

Hon. I. p. Redfleld and the Judgeship.

Some of our exchanges have been quick
to take it for granted that Hon. T. P. Red
field had decided not to be candidate for
reelection to judgeship because he has
been chosen a director Of the Passumpsic
railroad, there being statute forbidding a
judge of the supreme court from holding
any office in railroad corporation in the
state. There is reason for congratulation
that this inference is entirely without foun-
dation in fact. Judge Redfeld was elected
director without his knowledge or consent
and will not accept the position, but, so long
as his health permits, will be at the service
of the state in his present capacity. His
long and faithful service has secured for
him the profound respect of all our citizens,
and his retirement from the bench would be
greatly regretted. There can be no possible
doubt of his continued reelection, so long
as his physical condition is such that he
CON oonnrt tho resition. III tnls connection
we call attention to an extract in our pres
notes from the Burlington Clipper with ref
erence to our supreme court. The matter
of our judiciary should receive the careful
attention of the legislature and some wise
measures devised to add to its permanency.

Londonderry gives substantial evidence
that abe does not believe in the one term
rule. James L. Martin has received his
fifth consecutive election as the representa-
tive of that town in the legislative assembly
I, 1878 be WAS elected speaker. In the
ability which he displayed in the peri orm.
anoe of the duties of that office he was not
surpassed by any of the distingui shed men
who had preceded him in the chair of the
presiding officer of the house, and it will not
be forgotten that Stewart and Powers were
his immediate predecessors. With thor
ough knowledge of parliamentary rules, in
the application of which he is never lost
and never hesitates, he combines a resonant
voice. remarkable Auency and distinctness
of enunciation, and a capacity for clear and
intelligent comprehension of the intricacies
of the complex skein of affairs which is un-
wound from the speakers desk for the con-
sideration and action of the house. These
essential qualities, with energy and prompt
ness in the dispatch of business and unfail-
ing courtesy to all, secured for him a.re-elec-
ton by the legislature of 1880 without OPP
position of democrat or rivalry of republi.
can. In the practice of the rules which
should govern in the efficient administration
of the civil service there is no reason why
Mr.. Martins candidacy should give place in
the coming session to that of any other, but
every reason why it should prevail, as we
believe it will. Mr.. Munson's name has
been conspicuously mentioned in connection
with the speakership, and it is understood
that he will be candidate for the position.
He is an honorable gentleman, man OF
high ability, with large Legislative expert
ence, and with conceded qualifications for
the office, but his most ardent supporter will
hardly maintain that he would make bet
ter speaker than Mr.. Martin, who has equal
abilities, to say the least, and the benefit of
the experience of two sessions in the chair,

there are I" wounded birds let them nutter" The
average teacher does not bear criticism kindly;
accustomed as he IL to be sort OF autocrat over
the school and community in which he resides, he
comes to think his views and actions infallible
The press fearlessly criticise political conventions,
the pulpit, the courts, and our law makers, and
why should they not teachers and their gather

censured the generous hospitality Of the people
OF Castleton or the indefatigable efforts Of the
executive committee but rather the general ap-
pearance of the convention and the work accom-
plished by It, An effort was made at the late
meeting to infuse new life into the association

ex-governor Of the state as president OF the asso-

TO such an innovation, There were three vital
questions pertaining TO the educational interests
OF the state before the convention, viz "School
Supervision, Normal Schools" Vermont
System OF Education" yet nothing was said or
done to aid in the settlement OF this most mpor-
tant subject Was there a member present at
the last meeting that was fully satisfied with the
results In what way WAS the cause of educa-

question of school legislation was settled upon ?
What line OF teaching was settled upon? What
line OF teaching will receive new impetus from
what was said or done at the convention The
State Teachers Association has needed for long
time reformation In many important particulars,
and am glad that the independent press Of the
state have taken the matter in hand. Good must

after the bitter and yindictive structures upon
your position will be overlooked and forgotten.
