An Immense Vessel.

The most prodigious vessel on the
records of the anc1ents was built by
order of Hero, the second Tyrant of
Syracuse, under the superintendance
of Archimedes, about 230 years be-
fore Christ, the description of which
would fill a small volume. Athen-
eus has left description OF this
vast floating fabric. There was, he
states, as much timber employed in
her as would have served for the
construction of fifty galleys. 1t
had all the varieties of apartments
and conveniences necessary to a pa.
lace such as banqueting rooms, baths,
library, a temple of Venus gardens,
fisl pond., mills, aud q spacious
gymnasium. The inlaying of the
floors of the middle apartment repre-
sented in various colors the stories Of
Homer's Iliad, there we're everywhere
the most beautiful paintings, and
every establishment and ornament
that art could furish we're bestowed
on the ceilings, windows, and every
part. The inside of the temple was
inland with cypress wood, the stat.
ues were of ivory, and the floor studd>
ed with precious stones. The vessel
had twenty benches of oars and was
compass ID by All iron rampant or
battery; it had also eight towers
with wall and bnlwarks, which were
furnished with machines of war,
one of which was capable of throw.
ing a stone Of $40 pounds weight or
dart o. twelve cubits long to the
distance of haft a mile. To launch
her Archimedes invented a screw of
great power She had four wooden
and eight iron anchors; her main
mast, composed of single tree, WIS
procured after much trouble from
distant inland mountains. Heiro,
finding that he had no harbors In
Sicily capable of containing her,
and learning that there WAS tam
inc in Egypt, sent her loaded with
corn 10 A.elandia. Size bore an in.
scription Of which the following is
part: "Hiero, the son OF Heirocles
the Dorian, who weilds the septre of
Sicily, sends this vessel bearing in
her tine fruits of earth. Go thou, o
Nrptune, preserve in safety this ship
over the blue waves"

She Had to do It.

The other day when old Pungleup,
the grain merchant, went home to
lunch he was surprised to find an un-
usual Lumber of wet um brelas ON the
rack. SO he ascended to his wife's
room and said:
"Auybody 10 the parlor, my dear9"
ayes, dearest" replied his better
hall, who was putting the Flushing
touches to an elaborate toilet. "Yes,
dearest, quite lot of people. There's
the doctor, an expressman, hack
man, a grocery clerk, telegraph re
pairer and niue messengers in the par
lor."
"What on earth are they here fora"
"Well, you see, lovey; my new
plush and repprlncesse came home
five days ago, and it has been doing
nothing but rain ever since. I've
stood it just as long as l could, and
SO when it rained again to day just
rang for everybody on the telegraph
indicator SO could nave somebody
to show it to. Isn't it too lovely for

smile she rustled down stairs.

a Vermont Murderer.

DR.. Samuel j. Allen, Of White Riv-
er Junction, VT, went to Boston, the
other day, and while blowing about
the city, brought up at M. Gleason's
saloon on Howard street, Thursday
eve, where Dell Hanson, of Brockton =,
Mass, and party of friends were
waiting for conveyance home. The
Star says: "While so doing a perfect
stranger to the party, DR.. Samuel j.
Allen, of White River junction, VT,
entered and, seemingly in perfectly
sober condition, addressed them, say
ing he had just been to the Howard
Athenmum, and making a casual re-
mark, one of the party states, took
hold of him by the coat collar and
said:
Come here and l will shake you for
a pint of wine,' to which the party
said:
I'll 60 you The bar-keeper joined
in. After shaking dice, Allen lost,
and the bottle of wine was drank.
Hansell, who was standing at the end
of the saloon near the stove, stepped
up to the bar and said:
Let's have drink at the same
time placing two silver quarters on the
counter. Allen, as alleged, took the
money and put it in his pocket, which
somewhat nettled Hansell, which the
bar-kceper noticed, and remarked:
He is all right, Dell; he'll return it,,
Allen did not do SO, and showed no
signs Of so doing, when Hansell caught
him by the ,at collar, asking Allen to
give him his money.
Give up nothing said Allen, and
drawing from his hip pocket 80 cali
bre Smith & Wesson five-barreled,
self-cocking revolver, struck Hanson,
cutting cash under the left eye, and
leveling the revolver, instantly fired,
the shot taking effect under Hanselps
left nipple, the ball evidently passing
through the heart, as the unfortunate
man threw up his arms, and shouting:
Il am gone, fell liieless to the floor"
Allen was Immediately arrested,
and arraigned in the municipal court,
f. c. Carrigan having been engaged
by his friends as counsel. He waived
examination, and was held over for the
superior criminal court until the first
Monday in June.

WOODSTOCK,

Villages, the same as persons, may

have names. 1t is with regret that |
find the one so familiar to my child
hood has become thing of tho past.
What would be a more fitting title this
day of May than "The Green" Is it
not a gem, an emerald set among the
hills? If one is very practical and
commonplace, shadow of hope de-
ferred, and patient waiting, is observed
along the business streets. Just now
farming and horticulture being the all
absorbing objects of interest. Nearly
all villages, certainly ordinary ones,
have rows of houses and yards, all
planned after the same model. Wood
stock has the harmony of diversity, a
town full of people, each apparently
going, in the form, size, color, and
plan of his establishment, tangible evil
dence of his taste and needs or his
ideas of the fitness of things. Unifor-
nifty ia weu enough for regiment of
soldiers or a row of bricks, though it
is solid and "eminently respectable, "
it is certainly kind hearted and court
eous and much enduring, for it has
borne the ordeal of the book-agent and
not been found wanting. I think it
would be difficult, in all Vermont, to
find a place of its size with so little Wis
ible poverty, dirt, and dilapidation.
May honor and praise be given in just
measure to its citizens, and may its
shadows never be less.

city, and when about three miles east
of town. a twelve-year-old son of
Joseph ii. Conner, en- route with his
family for Clay Centre, Kau., from
Ohio, fell from the train, and his alb
sence was not noticed until this place
Was reached. The frantic father at
once started back on foot, expecting
to find the mangled remains of his
boy. but instead met the little fellow
trnIting up the track as if nothing
hid happened. 1t is considered q
miraculous escape, as the train was
running at the rate of 35 miles an
hour when the accident occurred. The
family stopped at the Ferris House
over night and resumed their journey
