VERMONT WoMAN's SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION.
The woman's suffrage convention recently
held at st. Johnsbury resulted 10 the for
nation of state association with the follow
ing officers: President Mrs. NJ. L. P. Hid
den Of Lyndonville Vice Presidents, Mrs. G.
e. Davidson of Newfane, Rsv. 1. j. Freeman
of Newport, Rev. Mr.. Marion Peaoham, John
Burke of Albany; secretary, Miss Laura
Moore of Barnet treasurer, Mrs. S. A. Mel
son of West Burke committee on constitu-
ton, Mrs. Il. Cutler, Mrs H. @. Ide, Mrs. B.
f. Tillottson. Mrs Flint, Mrs Nelson. Ad-
dresses were made by II. b. Blackwell of Bos-
ton and H. G. Ide of st. Johnsbury. Mr., Ide
was state senator last year and secured the
passage of the property right-bill for married
women. Mrs. Lucy Stone and Mrs. Howe
also spoke. The report of the committee on
constitution was adopted. The attendance
was quite large and much interest manifested.
gists are much interested in the discovery,
and a more vigorous search for relics and evil
dence of the manners and customs of an un-
known past will be prosecuted with greater
vigor. Hitherto Mr.. Hirschfelder has pros
ecuted these explorations entirely at his own
expense, but an organized effort TO obtain
government aid for this purpose will probably
be made.

How Watch Cases are Made.

This process ssofmanuiacture was invented
by James Boss, who started in business in
1854, and the methods and tools used in
making these watch cases are covered by
patents, This is The only watch case made
lldcr this process For many years rhe in
PRODUCTION of these goods was slow, owing
topop"lar prejudice against plated" goods,
but gradually the public learned that the
James Boss Gold Watch Case was not
cheap goid-pasLed or eiectro-plated article,
but was made of genuine gold plates of
standard quality and thickness. Conscientious
adherence to the determination to make
the best watch case ever put on the market,
and the adoption of every improvement
suggested, has made the james Boss Gold

The fort is oval in shape, and consists of an
earthwork about 8 feet average thickness, s24
feet in circumference, and 1856 feet at the
greatest breadth, with length Of 1926 feet
Two entrances about feet wide-one at the
northeast and the other at the northwest
lead to the supposition that the work was
erected as a defense against an attack from
the south.
A cursory examination Of the interior Of
the fort resulted in the discovery of a quanti-
ty of broken pottery and burned stones
which Mr.. Hirschfelder thinks were used as
missiles. An occasional flint head was also
dug up. Upon the banks and in the fort
stand a number of magnificent oaks 30 inches
iu diameter and at least 800 years old testify
ing TO the antiquity Of the work. Archmolo-
The CHAUTAUQUA LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC
CIRCLE, concerning which many young peo-
pie in this vicinity are becoming interested, is
a new organization aiming to promote habits
of study and reading, in connection with the
routine Of daily life, Especially among those
whose educational advantages have been linn
ited), so as to secure to them the college stu
dents general outlook upon the world and
life, and to develop the habit of close, con-
nected and persistent thinking. 1t is peo-
ples college, with a four years course of stu.
dy, embracing broad view Of History, Lit

poses to encourage individual study in lines
and by textbooks which shall be indicated
by local circles for mutual help and encour-
agement in such studies; by summer courses
of lectures and students sessions" and by
written reports concerning the work accom-
pished. The course of study prescribed by
the &c. L. s. c." covers a period Of four
years. A new class is formed every fall into

this work will in most cases serve to accom-

students give larger amount of time to the
service. In the class of 'S6-the class which
joined the c. L. S. O. in the fall of 1882
there were enrolled over II 900 members a
much larger class will doubtless be formed in

GENERAL SHERIDAN AT WASHINGTON. Il
found him this morning in the seat so lately
occupied by bluff Tecumseh Sherman. 1t is
one Of the best rooms in the war department
building. II looks out upon Pennsylvania
avenue just across from Corcoran's art gal
lery, aud from its east windows you have
good view of the White House grounds The
room is large, and it is hung with oil paint
ings of western views, the taste of Sherman,
who liked nothing better than life on the
plains. The general sits at desk in the east
end of the room, and Sheridan was sitting
there as I entered to-day. He rose to meet
me and l paid my respects and those of the
Leader in due form. Sheridan looks much
more like soldier than Sherman. He is
very erect, though short and fat, and his air
is martial and commanding He dresses bet.
ter than Sherman and looks as though he
took more care of his personal appearance.
He has large face, broad full forehead and
fat cheeks of adark red. He wears no beard
but his moustache, gray and we'll trimmed, is
decidedly handsome. He is by no means a
bad.looking man, this new head of the army.
He has brave look, and, though his face
bears many a wrinkle, as though much care
had devolved upon him, it is a very pleasant
one. His eyes form its chief characteristic
They are gray, small and as sharp as a nee
die. They seem to look right through you
and they always look right at you when he is
talking. They show you that they have a
soul behind them, and if their owner is an
cry they can, as the blood and thunder novel
says, glare with a look of baleful hate Gen.
Sheridan has short, stiff gray hair, smoothly
combed, broad shoulders, and short heavy
legs He would, l think look bigger on
horseback than on foot and doubt not as a
cavalry commander he presented very strik-
ing appearance Cor. Cle1eldHd Herald

HON. HORACE HEFFREN.

We have noticed from time to time very
contemplate effort on the part of certain
Republican organs to injure Mr.. Heffren's
standing as a member of the Legislature,
and in this exceedingly disreputable bust
ness the indianapolis Journal indicates a
willingness to join. 1t will be remembered
that the Journal at one time declared that
the right thing 10 do was to let the South
go, that it was not worth fighting for, and
that war was far worse than disunion. 1t
will also be remembered that ia the late
campaign the Republican Central COmmit'e e
of the State sought by such means as it could
command to elect L. p Millgan, who al
one time was unpleasantly situated, as
member of the Indiana Senate, over
Captain Hiligass, Union soldier, and
it win further be remembered that John
Overmeyer, the Chairman Of the Republican
State Central Committee, was once knight
Of the Golden Circle; and it will also be
remembered that the Republican party gives
the right hand of fellowship to such dis
tinguished rebels as Mosby and Longstreet,
Malone and Key, and others equally well
known to fame. 1t will occur to a good
many people that with such facts in full
view the Republican organs can afford to
cease lying about Hon. Horace Heffren,
who is their peer in patriotism
and vastly their superior in everything else

THE Washington correspondent OF the
New York Herald gives his paper daily in
formation relating TO the designs of monop-
olists and the aid and comfort they are re-
ceiving from Republican Senators and
Congressman. In late communication he
says:
Washington was never so full of lobbyists as at
present. The dozen twenty mouopolists
which thrive on the present tariff have their
agents and sometimes their principals here in full
force 10 take care that duties are not lowered or
made less complicated. Another sort OF mOnopo-
lists, who have grown up under the fostering care
Of the internal revenue laws, are here to prevent
the abolition OF those needless taxes the levyiug
of which proved 70 be favorable to the control of
several kinds of industry by few great capital
lists and the extiTpaten of competitors OF moder-
ate means. 1t Is not extrayagant 10 say that the
Republicans In Congress are in league with these
capitalist monopolists who fatten on bad and
unjust laws . II Is a truth which
ought to be understood that the Republican
chiefs haze made themselves and are making
their party the agents of wealthy monopolists,
whose service they are doing at the expense OF
every other interest in the country, manufacture
ing aud agricultural. Apparently they believe
that the next election is to be carried by money,
and they are making friends of those great
capitalists and monopolists who flourish at the
cost OF the taxpayers and by the help of bad laws
aud the imposition OF needless taxes.
SUCH statements are valuable as indi-
eating the purpose OF the Republican bosses
in the campaign of 1884

remarks that "the new comst reported to

probably a well-known nebula. This is
known to astronomers as the Crab nebula,
