AN FRESHMAN.

The SCHOOL HOUSE AS A SIGN.-Au
exchange that takes deep interest in
educational matters says: "There is
no surer sign of a lack of intelligence
and refinement in a neighborhood than
a dilapidated and slovenly school
house, its benches hacked with knives
and stained with ink, its doors un-
hinged, its floors covered with dirt, its
windows open to storm and rain. On
the other hand, if you see a school
house of neat design, freshly painted,
in good repair, with a small yard and
surrounded with trees, you instructive
ly infer that the families in the neigh
borhood are enterprising and intelli-
gent. If the school house is what it
ought to be, you are likely to find in it
competent teacher, and well-behaved
scholars. In such a neighborhood.
moreover, you will find the farms we'll
taken care of the fences trim and the
houses in good repair. The communil
ty which neglects its schools is on the
high road to ruin"

A RAILWAY TEMPTATION.

A glance, a smile-I see it yet!
A moment ere the train was starting.
How strange TO tell We scarcely met,
And yet felt pain at parting.
And you, alas that all the while
cTis l alone that am confessing).
What thought was lurking in your smile
Is quite beyond my simple guessing.

Awoke in ME u strange emotion.
Which, basking in their warmer blaze
Perhaps might kindle to devotion.
An! many heart as staunch as this,
By smiling lips allured from duty
Has sunk in passions dark abyss
Wrecked on the coral reefs of beauty,"
And so It's well the trains swift flight.
That bore away my charming stranger.

And me, as quickly out of danger!

Don't you think she's pretty ?" said
the fond mother to the father as she
stroked the baby's silken hair. The
father was in sulking mood, some
thing had disagreed with him, and he
replied somewhat curtly: "Oh, all
babies are about alike. They look
like little monkeys" Just then a
neighbor entered, and taking the baby
ON her lap, said; mercy on us, how
like its father that child is!"-Somer-

TESTING AN ARKANSAS SENATOR'S
SToMACH.-A United States Senator
who is fond of joke had been initiated
into the mysteries Ofan alleged caramel,
which one of the boys of his hotel had
invented for the purpose of making
miserable the lives of other children.
The Senator owed Garland, of Arkan-
sas, one, and saw his opportunity. He
procured some of the alleged sweets
and placed them carelessly on his desk.
The game succeeded. Garland spied
the deceptive chocolates, and, careless
ly sauntering by, picked up one of them
and said: what are these, Senator?"
" They are caramels. Take one."
a" Thank you, 1 will" and he took one.
Now, the caramel was filled with soap,
and the jokers expected to see Garland
spit out the nauseous stuff. That was
where the laugh was to come in. But
Garland disappointed them. He ate
up the whole thing, soap and all, and
never made sign. The perpetrator
became frightened and ran out into the
cloakrOom, exclaiming: "Good Lord!
I'm afraid the mans poisoned" "Oh,
you needn't be alarmed" said Butler,
of South Carolina; "Garland's got an
Arkansas stomach" To this day no
one knows whether Garland tasted the
soap or Washington Capital.

THEIR FIRST VIEW OF AN ELEvA-
ToR.-A well-tO-dO but unsophisticated
farmer from one of the border counties
of Indiana was in the city lately, at
tending the fat stock show, and brought
along his wife and daughters to see
the sights and do some shopping.
Among other places they visited was
Manders new store, and, after wander
ing around the first floor for awhile,
the party came to stop near the eleva-
tors. One of the daughters was the
first to discover the cars moving silent
ly up and down, receiving and dis
charging their cargoes of passengers.
She jerked her fathers coat-sleeve to di-
rect his attention to the phenomenon,
and, in a tone that was audible to the
clerks in the neighborhood, asked:
whats that, paw?-that thing goingup
and down, with sofysinit?" The Oldham
gave the elevator long, calm, deliber-
ate, scrutinizing stare, and exclaimed
with joy: "By goshl it's a telephone!

Gold uin.ui in Vermont.

judge from the outside, they are doing II
good stroke Of business The nine is situated
about two miles from the Furnace, and about
OF Il milo from the old road on
the cast side Of the lower Plymouth Pond,
on what is known as Buffalo brook. Gold
has been found on his brook by different
parties for quite II number of years, which
led 10 considerable prospecting for ore, and
the present company found what they call
II rich vein about three years ago. They
sunk shaft about % feet aud run Drift
from it about five feet. The ore vein here
was about seven feet wide aud was rich
enough TO pay big for working Since then
they have erected large mill for crushing
anu separating the ore, suitable boarding
house md several other buildings The
mill is situated several hundred feet from
the mine aud considerably lower. The ore
is conveyed to the mill by the means Of
double track, the lDadcd car drawing the
empty one back. A steam drill is used

double truck from the foot of the shaft by

Two Decisions IN Lawrence Rraincrd,s
Favor.

Judge Royce decided yesterday HAT Law
renee Braincrd's arrest undera warrant, from
the insolvency court was illegal. Mr. Brain
crd in that court refused to take the oath
and submit TO an examination, aud there
upon he was ordered to be committed. The
arrest and commtlal, Judge Royce decides,
were Illegal, and he discharged Mr. Braincrd.
The petition for change of venue
in the cases against Lawrence Brain
crd to Addison county was refused by Judge
Royce Yesterday. We condensc the Ne@ca.
gers report OF the decision;
Regarding the claim concerning the grand
jury, it is said of the grand jury that IN fact
there were only II instead OF IL Jurors pres
cnt at the time these matters were con-
sidered; that some portion If the grand
jurymen were dcpositors aud declined t. de
iibcratc at all on these cs s; 81 that if there
were 12 men, that constituted grand jury
for all practical purposes Juigc Royce
thought these questions brought up by c1nn-
sci were not frivolous as claimed by the
state, who wanted the C lurt to order the iriul
of respondent before the settlement of these
questions by the supreme court.
In connection with the question of re-
spondent being committed to prison while
exceptions in his case are pending, the court
said this was done in some instances, but he
didn't think any member of the bar would
desire to see that thing doue. The question
should be settled before he Is put to plea
hence these exceptions should 90 directly to
the Supreme Count aud be determined there.
The motion is made IT, remove to a distant
county before the respondent is put to plea.
When can change of venue be made, and
when is ii rropcrto make it The court en-
pressed a doubt that it was proper to make
it until it was decided that Il jury will be re-
quircd. The respondent may interpOsc some
plea that may go to the jurisdiction Of the
court. lie must have reasonable time to
look the matter over and see what he
will do. Notice should be given to the
party some days before the change of venue
can he made and should think il was safe
to give reasonable notice, 50 that the party
may meet the motion by proof if he desires
to do so. ! don't think that the information
is removable. should like to remove this
whole matter 10 some extreme part Of the
state. If was to allow this case TO be re-
moved | should feel under legal obligations
to allow bill OF exceptions; if | shouldn't
| would expect the respondent to compel me
TO do so under the mandate of the supreme
court.
don't take much stock in the claim that
the lapse of time will render conviction less
probable. TIC evidence in the cases. which
is mainly founded on the books OF the Trust
company, will remain and be as available in
six months from now.

Blaine aud COilklium,

A queer story comes from Washington by
the way of the Philadelphia Press. It con-
ssts of private personal statement that
Blaine and Conklng have at last become
fully reconciled aud have joined hands and
forces, with view TO promote their indiviq.
ual and their party Interests. An arrange
mcnt is slid to hive been made, whereby
Blame is to be supportcdby Conklings follow-
ers for President next year, aud the latter
is to be returned TO the Senate on the expira.
ton of Senator Laphams term in January.
1885.
The reasons alleged for this arrangement
are said to consist Of Blaine's popularity in
Ohio, whose electoral vote he could take
from the Democrats next year. With Sccic.
tary Lincoln or some other available West
crn man as vce-President it is argued that
Blaine could sweep the country clean. What
has led to the unexpected reconciliation be-
tween Blaine and Coukling is said to be that
portion of the ex-secrctary's book which re-
lates to Conkling's public career. In its
pages the latter is given the high place he
deserves on the roll of American statesmen.
Gen. Grant aud other leaders are said to
favor Blaine as the most available Ircsitcn.

Handsome Monumental work.

A unique and remarkably handsome picac
of monumental work has Just been placed
upon the Liscum lot, at Lake View ceme-
terry. 1t is cottage monument cast from
refined New jersey zinc, and uxitlizcd by a
patent process so as To resemble the finest
granite. The monument IS n little over six
feet high and weighs about Il thousand
pounds. The great advantages of this ma
teria for monumental records are its indie
struc,ibility, unchanging color, and the cx-
trene iinencss and clcarncss Of all the record
work, both in letters and cmblcms. Some OF
the wreath and flower work on The Iiscum
monument is as dcliclt and fine rs though
carved IN wood-an achievement quite i'm.
possible in stone, although the oAidizcd zinc
has the exact appearance Of stone. Tn,
monument was erected by Mr.. Aaron Ban
croft of Montpelier, general agcnt for the
manufacturers. We understand that there
was some difficulty, at first, about admitting
the monument 10 the grounds, owing to !
provision IN the cemetery charter whicl
| limits monumental records to ''Darble
granite, and other cut stone;" but as lhi,
class OF bronze work was not in existence a
the time when the above provision was made
the commissioners decided to extend tn
provision so as to admit it. The monumen
is one Of the most beautiful ia the cemetery
and will well repay inspection.

Henry A. Foote had his collar bone broken

since.
Speaking of hunting, William II. Williams
well known hunter of the previous genera
ton, killed one Winter fifty foxes in fifty
days with dogs and gun. lie kept three or
four hounds, was an enthusiastic sportsman
and great matksman. He used smooth
bare rifle made by man named Hill, aud
the gun in use to-day !by his son $. A. vii.
liams, can not DC beat for accuracy aud
range.
If you wish an opinion on brcech leaders
ask one of our hunters who will be nameless
here how he likes TO hunt ducks. You see
he borrowed breach loader, took half doz-
en- or so loaded shells, walked about six
miles to the lake, saw flock of ducks, got a
grand chance to bag three or four at shot
and then spent about a quarter of hour
trying to get the gun off. In the mean time
the ducks got tired of waiting, and the last
he saw of them they were swimming over
toward Split rock light house, and all things
together had tendency to irr,ate the
hunter.
