Notes and Comments.

IHE New YORK Times explorer Tor
presidential preferences has reached New
Jersey in his perambulations. From two
columns and half of nebulous political
speculations the fact is educed that the
presidential candidate must not come
from New Jersey and must be high
tariff man. To this dictum democrats and
republicans alike subscribe.
WHEN the result of the Ohio democratic
senatorial caucus was announced in one
of the newspaper offices in Washington
number of Ohio men were present
"Payne forty-eight, Durbin Ward seven
teen and Pendleton fifteen" read the tele-
graph operator. Quicker than flash an
Ohio congressman said, at has cost Payne,
then, $4,000, at least, for all his votes
over twenty averaged him $4,000 each"
The result is believed to be the close of
most disgraceful chapter in Ohio politics.
UNDER the heading Democratic Folly
in Ohio" the Springfield Republican says !:
"They have thrown overheard Senator
Pendleton, the putative father of civil.
service reform, and they have disowned
and spit upon his offspring by the author
itative declaration of Thurman that if
the democrats carry the country they will
grab the Offices and make short work of the
Pendleton law. Finally, they have nomin-
ated Senator Henry B. Payne, an able
man seventy-three years of age, who sat
upon the famous electoral commission,
but who could nevertheless have no stand.
ing against Pendleton if he were not a
money boss and the representative of the
powerful petroleum refining monopoly
known as the Standard Oil Company, the
worst monopoly of the country. The
Ohio senatorial situation therefore dis.
plays the democratic party, at the point
where it is bound to make the best show.
ing possible, in the attitude of duplicity
on the tariff, of avowed devotion to the
spoils system at the first opportunity, of
treachery to all its declarations for civil.
service reform, and, finally, of honoring
the representative of corporate greed and
monopoly and of trucking to its power"
PHILADELPHIA PRESS at should be
said, to the credit of some of the demo
cratic papers, that they have foreseen the
impression sure to be made upon the
country by Mr.. Pendleton's defeat. The
Buffalo Courier has stated that the strik
ing down of Mr.. Pendleton would be
taken as sign that the Ohio democrats
repudiated the law on this subject, anG
that all hope of the party carrying the
state this year would be at an end. Still
more emphatic was the warning of the
Charleston NeDs: The failure to re-elect
Mr.. Pendleton,' it said, will be re
garded, naturally, as evidence that the
democratic party, at heart, is opposed to
the reform of the civil-service.' No bet
ter way can be taken to disgust the Amer
lean people with the democratic party.
Judged. therefore, by its own acts and the
sayings of its own organs, the democracy
stands to-day for free trade and the spoil'
of office. 1t has made its position upor
these two issues so plain that be who runi
may read. No party bu

last week Thursday evening. The arrange
ment being in the hands Of very competent
committee, everything was in apple-pie order.
About seven O'Clock Miss Bassett was sent for,
and her surprise can be imagined, as she en-
tered the vestry, to be confronted with the Cir
Gle of friendly faces, and to be greeted with the
numerous hearty hand-shakings from every
one and the expressed wishes that her next
birthday might be as happily passed as this
one was to be. After an oyster supper, such as
this town is noted for, Mr.. A. J. Sibley of Mont
pelier, an old neighbor, with a very appropriate
speech, presented her with $40, as the proceeds
OF the surprise benefit party, and Rev. j. c.
Mclnerney responded in her behalf. The old
and young then generally INDUCED in little
of the light fantastic, Messrs. Nye, Dudley,
Converse, Templeton, and others furnishing
the motive power. This, as whole, was one
of the most enjoyable occasions, and will long
be remembered by every one present 1t was
among the wee sma' hours before the COM
pany finally broke up and retired to their sew
eral homes with the thought that, in their en-
deavors to make one in their midst happy, they
had passed one of the happiest evenings in
their lives. Many thanks are due to the indie.
fatigable efforts of the committee for the
success OF the enterprise. Mrs Harriet Good

sick with pneumonia, but is now considered
out of danger. :. We now have telephone con-

The singing-school is proving decided
success as TO numbers in attendance and inter-
est manifested. -. Our enterprising manufac-
turer, G. F. Sibley, has lately put in line Of
pipe through the MILL and is now heating
the whole building with steam. The farmers
and others in this vicinity are very busy, put
ting in a summers stock of ice, 1t being of
extra quality this season. C. S. Bennett, who
has for the last two weeks been considered
dangerously sick with pneumonia, is now con-
valescent. "A very laughable affair it was
that happened to a subscriber when, one night,
by mistake, he applied TO his nose whisker dye
instead of magic oil. He of course was not
visible to the outside world for the next week
or so. We now have located in this place one
OF the best carriage and sleigh painters in the
county. E. d. Gray is the man. Give him a
try. We have a nice three-track trotting
course, one-half mile in length, scraped upon
the pond here. There is a prospect of some
sharp brushes between the fast-horse fraternity
in this and neighboring towns. The first trot
will come off this week Saturday.

East Montpelier.-We have met a Cali
fornian who claims to have eaten biscuits made
from wheat that, fifteen minutes before, was
standing uncut in the field. Wheat reaped,
threshed, ground and cooked, all in the space
of fifteen minutes, may not be very surprising
to a westerner; but here in Vermont, the man
who ate an early supper by the light of tallow
candle made from the tallow of an OK that was
feeding in his stall at two O'Clock, thought
somebody had worked with commendable
rapidity. Miss Mercie Clough went to Berlin,
Saturday, to attend the funeral of her brother
widow, who had been suffering from partial
paralysis several years. E. Mrs DR.. Angler re-
turned TO Boston last Friday. Clark Doty
was calling ON friends in the vicinity of his
old home the first of the week. Levi Mallory
has recently had u valuable horse severely
injured. 1t is estimated that about one hum
bred of our towns-peope were in attendance at
Capital hall last Wednesday evening TO see and
hear Professor Starr A wish is expressed that
he may return to Montpelier, or visit our town,
before leaving the state.

Mosque Of st. Sophia.

The finest of the places of worship
in Constantinople is the Mosque of ST.
Sophia. This building, you are doubt
less aware, has the additional interest
attaching to 1t of having been once u
Christian Church, which has been
preserved, comparatively unaltered,
from very early times. Built origin
ally by Constantine in the fourth cen
tury, and shortly afterwards destroyed
in the Chrysostom riots, 1t was rebuilt
in it's present form by Justinian In the
sixth century. 1t war called st. So
phia, not in honor of any distinguished
saint of that name, but as being dedi-
Gated to the External WISDOM" the
second person of the Holy Trinity.
Justinian enriched 1t with marble pill
lars and other spoils taken from the
most celebrated heather temples of the
world-from the temple of Diana at
Ephesus, from that OF the sun ut Baal-
bee, and from many others, to symbol
lie the thought that whatever ele-
ment of wisdom was to be found in any
of the religions and PHILOSOPHERS of the
old world was derived unconscionsly
from Christ, 1.-The true light that light
eth every man that cometh into the
world and as an earnest and antici-
ration of the tribute and homage
which all their priests and teachers
shall render to Him as their Savior
and their Lord. The Turks al once
ap ropriated st. Sophia for their own
worship when, in the fifteenth centu-
Nv. they took ConstantinOple.

One of the worst habits young peo-

much while at work or study. 1t is
much less tiresome and more healthy
to sit erect. The round-shouldered

have avoided all the bad results from
which they now suffer had they al

The Value of Honorary Degrees.

ly Honorary Degrees in the United
States. ex-President Theodore ID.
Woolsey of Yale, thus comments on
the present system of comforting titles
la this country: 1--WE have also a
right to say that this distribution of
honorary degrees is to great extent
unmeaning. 1t fails of selecting the
most worthy; it disappoints many, az Is
probable, and gratifies n few. and those
few not, of course, the best fitted to fill
the place; it by no means selects the
most learned and useful scholars, but
rather those who have an artificial or
undeserved prominence. The desires
to obtain the honor Is desire when
no man should indulge, and yet the
uncertainty and unreasona6leness OF
the rules of selection provoke SUCH
desire, especially in persons VINO nave
no good claims by which it can be JUS
titled. If the honor OF a doctorate III
