LEApING SAFELY FROM FAST TRAIN
A Vermont correspondent of the Boston
Journal writes Erred Adams, young stu
dent at the Vermont Episcopal Institute al
Burlington, ran away from the school or
Tuesday, making his escape from third
story window in the night by tying sheets
together. He walked across the country to
Richmond station, some twenty miles, where
he appeared on Thursday noon, and took
the Boston fast express on the Central Yer
mont railroad. He told the conductor, Muir
ray, that he wanted to 60 to his home in
West Windsor, but as the conductor had as.
certained that the student was running away
from the institute, the boy was informed
that he would be handed over to the author
tiles at the next station. Adams took fly
ing leap from the train as it was passing
Jonesville at the rate of forty miles an hour.
The passengers who saw him leap were
greatly alarmed, the bell. rope was pulled
aud the train stopped and backed to pick
up the body Of the rash student. When the
train came to the spot where the supposed
fatal leap was made, the boy was seen scam
pering up the hillside. He was not seen
again by any trainmen until Thursday night
when he went aboard of Conductor Quimby's
train at Jonesville, having wandered about
in the woods after jumping from the fast
express train. The youth showed only
slight bruises from his tumble::and was far
from being used up. He was on his way
home when last heard Of

A SNAKE SToRY.-John Brand, farmer
living ar Charleston Four Corners, N. Y, q
few days ago discovered spotted adder, a
snake rather rare in that region, summing
itself in his yard. He captured it and put
it in glass jar. A day or so later he saw
another one in the yard, and it ran in a
hole under an old stump. Chester Brand,
Is year-old son, pried up stone lying at
the side of the stump. Under it were nine
OF the adders. Some of them ran in under
the stump, and the rest were killed. The
boy then turned the stump over. There
were no snakes to be seen. He found hole
In the ground on one side of the cavity left
by the overturned stump. He dug in the
hole, and it led him to the cellar wall of
the house. In the wall he found twenty
adders. He killed them all. None of the
snakes were seen In the neighborhood
during the summer, and where the big
family came from at this time OF year is

The United States and Nicaragua.

LONDON, Dec 1.-THE Times this morn
ing devoles leader to the proposed treaty
between the United States and Nicaragua
based on cabled summary of the synopsis
Of the treaty printed in New York. The
writer says 1.-The terms of the Ncaraguan
treaty will excite profound amazement in
England and America. If the published
version OF its leading features is correct, it
will undoubtedly elicit distinct protest in
direct violation of the Clay ton Bulwer
treaty. Indeed it presents more distinct
violation of that instrument than Mr.. Blaine
ever contemplated. Americans must not
suppose that Englishmen will deprecate the
treaty owing to any alarm at the extension
Of the American dominions or from any
mis!rust that the advantages gained will
be abused TO the injury of British trade, but
they cannot approve the example afforded
of one State purchasing the control of such
a water way for its personal advantage and
not as trustee for the benz fit Of the world.
The summary cabled makes no mention of
any provision in the treaty with reference
to the worlds trade. A uavigab.e highway
between two oceans is not petty matter OF
sale and barter between couple of States.

WASHINGTON. D. G.. Dec II, 1884
In short talk the GAZErrE's correspon
dent had with General Ransom, the senior
Senator from North Carolina, this morning,
about Mr.. Bsyard having place in the
next Cabinet, the Senator said he knew no

he did know was gathered from what peo-
pie told him, and what he read in the news.
papers, as he had had no conversation with
Mr.. Bayard nor even any intimate friend of
that gentleman upon the subject, but that
his opinion was that Mr.. Bayard would be
q Cabinet minister, though his idea was not
definite as to what place he would hold. He
thought Mr.. Bayard's own inclinations
would lead him to prefer the State DEPART
ment, but that his friends wanted him TO
take the Treasury. The Senator also thought
that if Mr.. Bayard were selected, he would
not be counted as Southern man, and that
the South would have two other members.
He also said he hoped Mr.. Barbour would
have place not only on Virginia's account,
but for the good of the other parts of the
South and of the whole country, as in that case
an honest man would be in the right place.
Mr.. Ransom said be was convinced that the
President elect would try to select able and
honest counselors, that he was wise enough
TO make such selection, that he had the
nerve to execute the dictates of his wisdom,
and that he make q model President. He

Bayard being in the Cabinet would injure

MCCULLoCH's NoMINATIoN.--In execu-
tive session of the Senate yesterday, when
the nomination Of Mr.. McCulloch for Sec
rotary of the Treasury, from Thursday last,
came up, Mr.. Riddeberger again renewed
his opposition, and the Senate adjourned
without reaching vote, but with the under
standing that strong effort will be made
to day to secure final action. Although
Riddleberger is the only Senator who has
made an open fight against McCulloch, it is
said that several other republican Senators
have quietly given him substantial encour-
agement, not at al with the idea Of pre-
venting McCulloch's continuation but for
the purpose Of administering in left. hand
ed way rebuke to President Arthur for
putting into his cabinet man whom they
style q democrat and free trader Rid.
dleberger has made several set speeches on
the subject, aud the grounds Of his objec-
tons lie in the allegation that McCulloch is
not and has never been in sympathy with the
cardinal principles of the repu hlicau party
on the tariff, and especially on the line on
which the recent Presidential campaign
was mainly fought. 1t is said that certain
Senators affiliated With bat faction of the
party which is inimcal to the President,
are pleased with the course of Riddleberger,
because it opens up the opportunity to make
capital with the republican protectionists
in the New York Legislature against the
canvass of Arlhur's friends for the Senator

LOCAL NEWsPArER.-The Philadelphia
Times says: The local newspaper is the
most useful and least compensated Of all
the agencies which stamp the impress of
progress upon villages and inland cities.
Without the aid of local newspapers local
towns are, as rule, thriftess and dead. 1t
is common for small great men TO speak
with contempt of the local newspapers but
the village newspaper makes more great
men out of less material-more bricks with
out straw-than any other factor in politics,
and it is the one ladder on which men climb
to distinction as the beginning of wider
fame. The advent of the local newspaper
has always dated the increased thrift of the
community. The local newspaper is the
life OF the locality, and the measure of its
support, as rule, measures the advance
ment of the people. Not only subscribe
but pay for your local newspapers. They
are friends and helpmates of all seasons.

GEN. SHERMAN attempts to get OUT VI his
scrape with Mr.. Jefferson Davis by publish
ing an unortheuticated letter from the late
A. H. Stephens to the late II. V. johnson,
according to which the former expressed
his baseless fears that the support of die
tatorial powers by certain men and certain
newspapers in the Southern Confederacy
met the approval Mr.. Davis. There was
nothing Mr.. Davis did that warranted such
fears; but that some of the ablest men in
the Confederacy wanted such powers con-
ferred upon him there is no doubt, as was
the case with General Washington during
the revolutionary war. But the publication
of letter only said to have been written by
a man now dead to another one who is also
dead now, containing what the former ac'
kuowledged in it to be only his unwar-
ranted fears, is poor way to excuse q
giatuitous and utterly groundless SANDER
upon an old gentleman who has long since
retired from public life. The Sherman
Davis affair reflects no credit upon the
former.
