We have, carefully, read all the evi

to the same conclusion of the st. Johns
bury Index as expressed in the follow
ing
"The Richford Gazette publishes a
summary of the evidence concerning
Judge Royce in the recent libel suit
which would seem to indicate that there
was some ground for the charges. We
do not hesitate to say that in our opin-
ion any ordinary jury would have con.
sidered the charges proven had such
testimony been given against an unin.
fuential private citizen. 1t very diff
ficult for an attorney to win a suit wher
the court is working for the other side
and this we consider parallel case
Judge Powers would and did sacrifice
his impartiality as court in order tc
rule in favor of his superior, and the ju
ry saw only the chief justice of Vel

man ON the other. The verdict, there

What he said in the letter was, that
he never saw one in Albany, and am
bound to believe il to be true. But
what the Herald makes him say is that
he never saw one in his life. Why, he
never said any such thing, and never
would. Then he never went into the
streets of New York, because you can't
go great ways there with your eyes o.
pen, unless you are very green, without
seeing women. Now, that was done
by striking out the word "Albany,"
and instead of saying "any woman
putting in the word Giving" and where
he said, IL never saw any women in

living woman.."

The "freepass" system is likely to re-
ceive "showin up" to say the least,
before the present legislature, whether
any bill, on the question, is passed or
not.
That the "free pass" system as prac-
tised in Vermont is demoralizing and a
reproach to the state admits of no doubt.
But we believe the true remedy lies
with the people, in that they elect.no man
to office who accepts such favors from
any railroad corporation in the state.
Railroad corporations do not give out
these favors expecting no return, and
just SO soon as they find the peo-
pie will not elect their men to office
that soon will these corporations fight
shy of giving out "free passes," and
not before.

Artificial Oysters in Paris.

Artificial oysters are now manufact-
ured in large quantities by several
oyster factories recently established in
the neighborhood of Bordeaux. This
new product, the making of which is
kept secret from the uninitiated,
initiates the real oyster very perfectly
in point of appearance, and the main
difficulty of the business, the fixing of
the spiduous product to the oyster
shell, upon which it takes the place
vacated by its prototype, is said to have
recently been got over with perfect
success. 1t is urged that all who eat
the real oysters should carry away and
destroy their shells, thus preventing
them from being pressed into the
service of this new alimentary fraud.
To initiate oyster shells would be too
costly process, and if all the shells of
the favorite bivalves could be kept out
of reach of the oyster makers the dis
honest trade would receive its death
blow. But as that is an unattainable
result, it is to be feared that lovers OF
oysters have an uncomfortable prospect
before them. Montreal Herald.

Good Roads.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman, writing from Duchess
county, n. Y, says that the town Of
Armenia, in that county, has tried with
marked success the plan of keeping
force of four or five men at work on the
highways through most of the year
under the supervision of an experienced
and skillful builder of roads, who gives
his attention constantly to the work.
Every part of the seventy-five miles Of
highway in the town is in good con
dition, and the expense of keeping it 50
has been much less than it could have
been by the old method The new
plan has greatly relieved the farmers,
who have not been called to work on
the roads at time when other duties
demanded their attention. New York
has law which directs that the voters
Of any town may elect to adopt TINS
plan Of hiring force Of men and
competent Commissioner to make and
keep in repair the roads Of their town,
but the plan once adopted must be
followed for not less than three years.
1t has been found that by the method
described the roads have been kept IN
better condition than over before, and
that the cost Of the work has actually
been less than that of roadmaking by
the old way.

How Lolita Began.

In the tumble down district of San
Francisco, known as Chinatown, is q
cute-looking, though somewhat dilapi-
dated cottage, which is pointed out to
visitors as the former home of Lolita,
the bright and vivacious little actress
who is now winning laurels on the Lon
don stage. An old lady who was next
door neighbor to the Crabtrees will sit
and talk of them by the hour. She
says "Old Crab" as Lotta's father was
Familiarity called, kept q music hall
down town, that was largely patronized
by miners and prospectors during Cali
fornia's golden days. During the after
moons and evenings musical and variety
entertainments were given on the stage
in one end of the hall or saloon. On
one occasion the star ran off to the
mines with her lover, which broke up
the show. Little Lolita was then act
ing as waiter girl, carrying drinks to
the rough miners and assisting her
father in every way she could. The old
man on this occasion was away down in
the mouth. His patrons were clamor-
ing for the show to begin and threaten
ing to clear the ranch if he didn't trot
out singer. In the midst of his dis
tress, which he had Intellectually tried
to drown with copious draughts of
whisky, Lolita beckoned him back to the
stage entrance and said: I'm do it,
dad, if you'll let me-" He told her she
couldn't, and she went away in tears.
In few minutes, however, the fiddler
appeared, the bell tinkled and up went
the curtain. There stood Lolita, in her
faultlessly neat barmaid dress, all con-
fused, and just on the point of bursting
into tears. The crowd yelled and
stamped, the fiddler threw his whole
weight onto the horsehair, and Lolita
sang and danced as had never been
done there before. The men applaud
ed stamped and howled, threw their
hats on the stage ard pelted her with
gold pieces and bags of dust until she
was worth 800 or more. They would
not be satisfied and clamored for more
and more until the little lady was COM
pletely worn out. From that night on
"Old Crabs" place did the business,
and had he not allowed her success to
turn his head he would have made
fortune. But the more he made the
harder he drank, and finally took to
abusing Lolita and her mother and at
last died despised by all who knew him
except his abused child. She then start
ed out and made her own fortune.

Everybody should plan to have
pleasant conversation at the table,
Just as they do for having good
food. A little storytelling, a little
reading-it may be of humorous
things, anecdotes, etc.-will often
stimulate the joyous element of the
mind, and cause it to act vigorously.
Try to avoid going to the table all tired
out Let all troublesome topics be
avoided. Do not scold domestics. Do
not discipline children. Think and say
something pleasant. Cultivate mirth,
and laugh whenever anything witty ia
said. If possible, never eat alone. In
ute friend of whom you are fond, and
try to pass the time pleasantly. Friend
ship and friendly intercourse whet the
sppetite, and promote flow of animal
,pirits. Germantown Telegraph.
