GWhen you enter any harbor in the
world" said pilot to Sun reporter
nwhere the channel Is marked by
buovs, you will find that those on
your right as you pass in are painted
red. and those on your left black. If
YOU should see one painted In red and
black horizontal bands, the ship
should run as close to it as possible,
because that indicates the center OF a
narrow channel. Buoys with red and
black vertical stripes always mark the
end of splits and the outer and inner
ends of extensive reefs, where there
is a channel on each side. When red
and black checkers are painted on
buoy, it marks either rock IN the
omen sea or an obstruction in the har-
bor of small extent with channel all
around. If there are two such OBJ
structions and a channel between
them. the buoy on the right OF you
will have red and white checkers, and
the one on your left will have black
and white checkers. When o wreck
obstructs the channel a green buoy
will be placed on the sea side OF the
wreck. with the word wreck plainly
nainted on it in white letters, provld-
ed there is a clear channel all around
il otherwise, an even number will be
painted in white above the word
wreck when the buoy is on the right
side of the channel, and an odd num-
Ter if the buoy is on the left"

A Montreal train from Rouses Point
collided at Swanton junction Satur-
day night. The baggage car had the
trucks knocked out and the freight
engine was somewhat damaged. No
one was seriously hurt. The wreck
was cleared in time for the Boston eX-
press to pass on time. The accident
was caused by switch-rod being
broken by the frost.

A St. Adams young man by the
name of LOOMS, took a livery team
on Sunday of last week to drive to

silage. He had interviewed 80 deal
ers in butter, and found various opln-
ions in regard to butter made from en-
silage feed, the balance being against
its use. w. J. Simonds, of RoNbury,
said he built a sio in 1882, and sold
5000 pounds of butter from nine

An interesting point, with a queer
quirK to it, has just been decided In a
New York court. One Young rented
building to Wellington, and about
the same time Young's real estate
agent rented it to Mrs. WEIGH. A
months rent in advance was paid by
each. Both moved in on the first OF
May and presumably got along well
together; but Wellington paid no
rent, and defended the suit brought
against him with the plea that, never
having been in full possession of the
premises, he was not liable for the
rent. The justice decided that the
tenant was right; but when the CASE
was appealed the Judge took frigh
and fastened to append to the doeu
ment statement which began "Thl'
Judgment was entered by inadVer
tence, l having come to the directly
opposite conclusion" The justic'
doubtless wishes that he had not en-
tertained his remarkable secont
thought, for the higher court decides
that the mistake was no mistake, ant
that the tenant need not pay any REM
upon the building because he did mol
have the whole of it.
Boston's latest sensation has come

went down to the wharves with the IN

SHERIDAN AT WEST PoINT.-A va
cancy occurring at West Point when
he was seventeen, Sheridan applied
to the member of Congress from his
district for the appointment. The
answer inclosed his warrant as cadet,
and directed him to report at West
Point June /, 1913. He brushed up
his spelling and grammar, and passed
his preliminary examinations without
trouble. When he entered the acad-
envy he knew nothing Of algebra, ge-
ometry or any of the higher branches
of study. But cadet Henry w. Slo-
cum, since Major General Of volun-
teers and member of Congress from
New York, was his roommate. Slo-
cum was an Industrious, hard work
ing student, and from him Sheridan
derived much assistance, especially in
the solution of knotty points in alge-
bra. The two boys were very much
in earnest, and after "taps," when the
lights were put out and every cadet
was expected to remain in bed, Slo-
cum and Sheridan were in the habit oil
hanging a blanket over the window
and then lighting their lamp and pur-
suing their studies. At the first ex-
animation Slocum went up toward the
head of the class, and Sheridan stood
several files higher than he had ex.
pected, with his disadvantages.
In 1852, in his graduating year, he
had some trouble of belligerent sort
with another cadet, which resulted il
his suspension. He thought at the
time that the punishment was unjust
but ripper experience convinced hin
that the authorities were right anC
he was wrong. He was suspended
for year, after which he Joined the
class of 1858, and in this he grad
uated.-Gen. Badeau in February

Bogus Butter.

A reporter on the Philadelphia Rec
ord has been Intervening leading
produce dealer in that city, who thus
talks about bogus butter:
The oleomargarine business is prac-
tically played out. What most peo-
pie eat for butter now is what is
known as ''suene," aud if it were not
for the supply of this product, the
supply of butter would be out of
sight. This "suene" is the result of
experiments made to get up a good
article which could be put Oh the mar
ket when oleomargarine and butter
inc were found to be unpopular and
easily detected. As butterine was an
Improvement over oleomargarine, con-
tanning, as the other did not, a pro-
portion of genuine butter, so ''suene"
is a vast improvement on butterlne,
and only experts of the largest expe-
rience and delicate taste can possibly
distinguish it from the finest creamery
butter. If used, however, for cook
ing purposes, it can easily be detect
ed. There is some oleomargarlne
and some butterine yet sold on the
market, bnt both have been, to all in
tents and purposes, supplanted by
the new adulteration, ''suene." "The
average daily receipts OF so-called
butter in this market, other than the
local supply, amounts to between
1000 and 5000 tubs, most of which
comes from Chicago, and fully three
fourtbs of it counterfeit, said the
merchant quoted. ''If it were mo-
for this large supply of ''suene,'
which is really good thing for butter
eaters, such boom in butter as mos
neonle remember, wholesale
prices for the best article went up a:
high as S1.25 a pound,-would be oil
us now. All that saves the pocket;
of the consumers from this raid OF
their pocket books, is the bogus artl
Gle, which has become so well estab
: rshed that it actually rules the butte
market of the country. This produc
is worth at wholesale from 20 to 2
! cents. Pure butter is quoted at 3
cents, but not unfrequently the bes
creamery butter and the best 'suene
are sold side by side at retail, and tn
: ''suene" holds its own at the sam
prices with the butter. "Suene,
which has thus become so great

In 1875, thirteen men comprised the
entire working force used IN the manu-
facture of the James Boss Gold Watch Case.
Now over fve hundred are employed, and the
number is constantly increasing. The rea-
son of this increase is this: In the James
Boss Gold Watch Case all the metal in sight
and subject to wear is solid GOLD, while the re-
mainder, which only lends strength to the
case, is of stronger metal than gold,
giving gold where gold is needed, and
strong, elastic metal where strength and

NEW YORK. Jan. s. 1854
Hon. James Barrett. Rutland. Vt.
NV Dear Sir:-In reply TO your very
lid letter. beg to say. L have notlceu
that several papers of the State, with al
lusions to myself altogether too fiatter-
ing. have prominently connected my
name with the next Gubernatorlal cleo
ton. 1t is hardly modest for man to
decline an office before it is rendered, yet
I trust may be pardoned in saying thus
early that am not Candidate ana nave
not the slightest desire for any political
office whatever, and cannot, under any
circumstances, allow my name to be
used i'm connection with the Gubernato-
rial nomination
Aside from my own feelings in the
matter, there would be, if not an lmpfo-
priety, certainly aggreat inconvenience
in putting man in that Office VINO Ior
business and the education of children has
his residence here in New York. Inc
time of the Governor belongs to the
state. and, though the work of his Office
is very moderate, he can find many ways
outside OF his strictly technical duties TO
promote the interests and good name OF
The commonwealth. In this respect ana
in all respects, Governor would De
Ynuch more useful and the office much
more honorable if we could get rid OF the
one term rule. If that rule IS TO be IN
sisted on so long as the Governor Is elec-
ted for two years, why not change the
constitution and get back to annual cleo
tions? Then the Governor holding office
for two years would have the opportunl-
" of two Legislatures for carrying out
any policy he might deem tor the pubic
good. Now the Governor meets Leg
islature whose members. like himself,
are generally elected for one term, ana
when the next Legislature meets he goes
out of office. This cheapenS the eXecu-
= tive place and exposes the suite TO cruz
legislation.
When the constitutional change was
made. thought it was a wise one; but
under the working of the biennial sys
TEN. the old way was better. and shall
be glad when the people of Vermont
divided By the Green Mountain range
and not coming together often enough
again send up their representatives &c
the Capitol every year. And then
shall be still more glad, if in Milling hl9t
offices. they will altogether forget the
mountain range, think never of locality
but only of worth and fitness. and never
be in haste to make changes when WORTH
and fitness are found.
Thanking you and all other friend
most heartily for kind expressions,
[ am sincerely yours.
