POLITICAL,


Regard for the exact truth, says the
New York Sun, obliges us to record
the fact that at the present time Mr..
James G. Blaine leads all other candi.
dates for the Republican nomination,
The Post having denounced John
Kelly as vulgar, vile swaggerer," "a
"self-advertised purveyor of political
treason" and his Tammany voters as
''slum-gullions and plug-uglies," the
New York Star, Tammany's own, re-
torts that the Post is san alleged
Democratic journal" calls it the Bos-
ton creature" "bastard- aristocratiC
Journal" etc. If these Democratic
editors keep on long, people will sus-
pect that they do not respect each
other.
One of the Chicago Democrats who
went to Washington to secure the
National Convention, had an inter-
view with Mr.. Tilden, and came away
with the impression that he desires
the nomination, but the Chicago
man was led to believe that Mr..
Tilden's health is such as to render
his candidacy an impossibility. Out
side of Mr.. Tilden, New York, Chi
cago men agree, will be solid for
Flower.
The press has put the What-is-it
candidate for Mayor of Portland in q
very awkward position by showing
that the coal furnished the city was
purchased by the contractor of the
Mayor, and that it is of very poor
quality. 1t also charges that the
Democratic Aldermen have been sell
ing the city goods in spite of the law.
which declares that no member of the
city government shall be interested
directly or indirectly in any contract
with the city.
The new Democratic "gerrymander"
in Ohio gives the Republicans only six
of the p congressman, but somehow
there is little grumbling about it.
Some of the majorities are very small,
and all remember that there is many a
slip between the ''gerrymander" and
the election.
Now Mr.. Edmunds, is no longer
New England candidate alone, but
has strong support in New York,
and all over the West.
Congressman Wadsworth of New York
has declared for Edmunds, and saws
he receives a large correspondence
from the State indorsing his position.
The Republican members of the New
York Legislature are hostile to Arthur,
it is claimed, by three to one. Ed
munds is the second choice of New
York, because he is sure to carry that
State, and he will probably have from
to third of the vote of that
State at Chicago. The nomina-
ton of Blaine or of Logan would be
no assurance Of success ; on the other
hand, that of Edmunds would be the
strongest possible.

Does Ice Injure Butter?

The progress of accurate science, based
upon careful observation, is driving out
dogmatism-the mere Il say - of any
body-frOm all authority in the minds of
thinking men. A great many things that
were regarded as unguestionable truths
in dairying twenty years ago, are now
known to be mere superstitions. We
think the belief that ice water is iniuri-
Gus to butter, ought to be among these.
There is very little, if any, water in this
round globe that has not been ice, and so
we may regard all water as ce-water.
Cold certainly does not hurt butter; on
the contrary it preserves it. Water, at
ordinary temperature, is not believed to
hurt butter. Our best batter is washed
with water, and cold well water at that
often as cold as forty degrees. Now
if water at forty degrees does not harm
butter, why should water at thirty-two
degrees, which is the temperature of ice
water? Or why should ice? Can any one
give reason why perfectly clean water,
in either liquid or solid form, should in
jnre any insoluble article of food like
butter? We believe, when such injury is
found to occur, that the harm does not
come from the ice or the water, but is
due to some imparity contained in them
Cut ice from pure water, and you need
not fear harm to your butter from con-
tact with it.

The time fixed for the payment of
taxes by the corporations assessed
under the law to provide revenue for
the payment of State expenses ex-
pired February % for the semi-annu-
al period ending December 81, 1888.
The result of the operation OF the new
law for the first year is very satlstac-
tory to the State officers, and proves
the wisdom of the Legislature that
enacted the measure, while it insures
the successful execution of the pro-
visions of the act in the future. For
the first six months the taxes paid
amounted to SIC, 1881 The corpora
lions taxed have already made pay
ments to State Treasurer Dubois for
the second six months to the amount
of S71, $50. 40, and additional returns
have been made with payments to
follow amounting to some $500, in
addition to which there are returns
yet to be received from several cor
porations, which paid some $4,000 for
the first six months. These sums ag-
gregate 500, 900, which will be about
the amount of the corporation tax for
the second six months, or $4,000
for the year. The railroads $50, OOOl
in round numbers, or about S65, 900
for the year. The home and foreign
insurance companies about $4,000
for the year. The National car COM
pany S5164.02 for the year, and the
steamboat, telephone, telegraph and
express companies the balance. The
South Eastern railroad company,
against which suit was brought to re-
cover the penalty for non-payment of
taxes, paid the full amount of the tax
assessed for the year to State Treas
urer Dubois, February %, amounting
to S1010.73, which stops the penalty
CT S1o0 from that date, leaving the
suit brought by Tax Commissioner
Dillingham; to recover penalty for nom
payment still pending. The corpora
tons which are delinquent in payment
of taxes Will probably be heard from
soon, the delay not being caused by
any disposition to a noncompliance
with the law, but ON account of cleri-
cal labor required in making returns.

Randolph is free from debt, is rich
in natural resources, has good schools,
and its aggregate rate of taxation for
1884 will be only $3.50 on $1,000, or
So cents On 81 of the grand list on the
Vermont way of rating. West Ran
dolph has formed free reading-room
association and starts off with u large
supply of good reading.
John Nichols, of Brookfeld, killed a
striped snake on the snow recently.
Rev. L. II. Elliot, of Keesville,
will enter on his new duties. as Agent
of the Vermont Bible Society as soon
as he is released from his present en-
gagement, probably early in April.
A little boy named Bishop, of West
Burke, climbed up on the window
stool the other day, got his fathers
powder, and tried the experiment of
turning some on hot stove. The
powder took fire, followed the stream
into the flask and an explosion follow
ed, mangling one arm and burning his
breast and head terribly. Its proba-
bly, fatal injury.
A German named Kauptner called
at the jail in St. Adams the other day.
The story of the Germans CONVERSE
ton with Meyer, as told by his fellow
countrymen referred to, ran about
like this i: Meyer told the story of the
crime, adding various details, and
said they could not prove anything
against him for they could not find the
body. The eliminating part OF the
storp as told is Meyers statement:
"They say l shot Krause; Krause
was drunk, ran toward me with a
knife in his hand, and they say l shot
him, but they can't find it, they can't
find the body" Meyer continued by
telling that the people found Krauss's
clothes on him, but that he, Meyer,
had bought them. The papers neces-
sary for the transfer of Meyer to
Windsor have been received from
Governor Barstow, and he will be
taken there soon. He is very much
averse to going.

How Watch Cases are Made.

This process ofmanufacture 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 as the only ,Uatch case made
under this process. For many years the in
PRODUCTION of these goods was slow, owing
to popular prejudice against plated" goods,
but gradually the public learned that the
james Boss Gold Watch Case was not a
cheap goLd-rUGshed or electro-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
Watch Case the STANDARD. ,f y n,1v
In this watch case the parts q o
most subject to wear-the bon, cro,cn, hinges,
huHab-catches, etc, are made of SOLID GOLD.

SONGS NEVER SUNG!

GLOW does that verse run? Something like this,
isn't it?
There are those who touch the magic string,
And noisy fame is proud to win them;
Alasl for those who never sing,
But die with all their music in them'"
Eyes, that's beautiful, pathetic and true" said
your representative. 1.-THE poet alludes to people
who are somewhat suppressed, and never get
their full allowance of joy and air, which re
minds me of letter shown me the other day by
HiscoX & Co., OF New York, signed by Mr.. L. q.
Williams, OF Chapman, Snyder & Co., Pa, a

me to to take Parker's Tonic. l did so, and the
first day took four doses. The effect astonished
me. That night slept as if nothing was the mat
ter with me, and have ever since. l have had
colds since, but no asthma. My breathing is now
as perfect as if had never known that disease.
If you know of any one who has asthma tell him
in my name that Parker's Tonic will cure it
even after 40 years. There was man who es-
capped the fate OF those whom the poet laments
This preparation, which has heretofore been
known az Parker's Ginger Tonic, will hereafter
be advertised and sold under the name of Par
ker's Tonic. 1nasmuch ginger is really an
unimportant ingredient, and unprincpled deal
ers are constantly deceiving their customers by
substituting inferior preparations under the
name of ginger, we drop the misleading word.
There is no change however, in the prepara-
ton ITSELF and all bottles remaining in tie hands
of dealers, wrapped under the name of Parker's
Ginger Tonic contain the genuine medicine if tn e
signature of HISCOX & Co. is at the
bottom of the outside wrapper.
