Waitsfield.-There was a union temperance
service at the Methodist church last Sunday
morning. The sermon by Rev. c. P. Taplin
was straightforward arraignment of intem-
perance as it occurs in society, in business, in
homes in politics, in the executive and other
responsible places. Some strong statements
were made, but no one can deny their truthful
ness Ex-Presidents johnson and Grant were
quoted as examples ofintemperate Of men in high
positions, although it is claimed the latter has
reformed. The speaker regarded the church as
the foundation and inspiration Of all good tenn
perance societies, and thought it was wrong for
members of churches or others to spend more
time attending meetings Of temperance soce-
ties than regular meetings Of the church, such
as prayer-meetings. lntemperapce consisted
not only in the use Of intoxicating drinks, but
also in the use Of opium morphine and tobacco.
With regard to the latter, Mr.. Taplin thought
the best remedy consisted in prohibiting the
sale and manufacture Of the article, and re-
garded the tobacco-seller as little better than
the rum-seler. At the close Of the sermon Mr.
Robinson, pastor of the Congregational church,
made Il few remarks, and gave few statistics
showing the naionalities of those engaged in
the liquor traffic in of our large cities.
Fast day will be observed by union services at
the Congregational church. .. Ephraim Camp
bell has moved into Mrs. Fosters house, vacated
by Andrew Blair.

We noticed recently very superfluous re-
mark Of the Vergennes aper that the people
in this part OF the state we're in favor OF DR..
Nichols for governor; that is, If the expression,
"this part OF the state" is supposed to cover
any more space than the office of the Yer
monter. II limited to that, we presume ir Is
true We have also been astonished at an arti-
Gle in the Burlington Free Press, which, in ad-
mitting the eminent fitness of Colonel Pingree
for governor suggests that he should wait in
order that Dr. Nichols might have the Office
1t would appear to the common mind that the
man who didn't fight WAS the proper man to
wait. The soldier wait Did he wait when the
fate of the country trembed in the balance
And shall he wait now Shall he be asked to
wait? Whatever may be the peculiar views OF
the editor OF the Free Press, the great heart of
the people beats true on this question. Every
tme other things being equal, they give the
soldier the preference Patriotism and graft

The construction of the Washing ton monument which was begun July 4, lS48, is again under way with prospects of completion in the course of the year. Workmen quit it last fall with four hundred and ten feet of mason work above the foundation completed. About two feet are being daily added to it's height. It has been planned to put up five hundred feet of marble mason work. and to crown that with fifty feet of iron work, making 1t five hundred and fifty feet high, and by far the tallest struture of the kind in the world. That it's height com pared with the other great monu- ments of the world may be better understood it may be stated that Bunker Hill monument is 22l feet high; the dome of the Capitol at Washington. 306; St. Peter's church dome at Rome, 457; the spire of the Strasburg cathedral, 468; and the pyramid of Cheops, Egypt, 4S0.

An Eight.Ponnd Plaintiff at Law.

Miss Rcbecca Gray had capias is- sued Saturday for the arrest of II. F. Ja obs, the proprietor of the Royal Unique Novelty Company, which had Q show at Horticultural Hall, at Philadel- phia, last week, in a civil suit to recover damages for alleged trover and conver- sion. Miss Gray is fifteen months old and weighs eight pounds. ''She is the youngest litigant that I ever knew" said the white-haired Writ Clerk Man derson. Baby Gray was taken by Miss Amanda Richardson and Mrs. Ermen- trout. friends of Archibald Fisher. her foster father. to see the show last Friday afternoon. The women had seen an ad vert sement offering a diamond ring that Hop O My Thumb midget of the show, wore on the third finger of his right hand to any healthy baby over n year old that could get it on corre- spending finger.
 Prof Bishop, agent for Jacobs. came out with the m dget. the diamond ring and smooth flow of words The ring was said to be worth two hundred dollars It was so small that a lead pen cil would not pass through 1t. Dozens of anxious mammas tried it vainly upos
 
 the chubby fingers of their offspring. It came at last to Baby Gray's ..Tn. The ring went on as easily g. the glass slip per upon the foot os Cinderella. A buzz of pleasure went through the hall.
 Prof" Bishop snatched up the baby and paraded it round and round. When all the mothers had feasted their eyes upon the little diamond decked victor the '.professor," it is said. slipped the ring on the baby's finger and whispered to Miss Richardson: MT. Jacobs will see you later in the hallway and give you the ring" Miss Richardson did not like that. Nevertheless she waited till she saw Mir. Jacobs and demanded the trophy. He would not give up the ring. Miss Richardson and Mrs. Err mentrout argued the matter till they were put out Then they had the child's foster father enter suit. and when Ja- cobs was arrested Saturday he gave up the ring and paid the baby's costs.-- Philadelphia 1irles.
