Bro. Leeds, of the Brown County
Ne,os, speaks his mind, in vigor-
Gus language, with regard to the
election of Payne to the .. S. Senate.
Bro. Leeds has regarded the Democra-
tic party as the enemy of Bossism.
But therein Bro. Leeds is sadly mis-
taken. There never was an organlza-
tion known which bore the yoke OF
Bossism as uncomplainingly as the
Democratic party.

"Many of the drunken husbands
who all last summer squandered their
earnings in the beer and whisky shops
find their families on short allowance
during this inclement winter season" "
MarysuiHe Tribune.
And Union County is not the only
place where such state Of affairs ex-
lists. But tell us dear Tribune, do you
know of a doggery-keeper's family
who are in want of anything, during
this freezing weather? The short
allowance" Of the drunkard's family,
means increased allowance-even the
enjoyment of every luxury-by the
family of the Devils Agent. His
family, and himself wear the clothing
torn from the backs Of the drunkard
and his family. While outwardly
the drunkard is made to suffer, inward
ly he is being destroyed, by the dog
gery-keeper not only the destruction
of his physical powers, but the blast
ing of all hope, the destruction of an
immortal soul.
Satan is always described as a
-smooth-tongued being, disguised in
the most attractive garb, going about
and fattering his victims while he is
plotting their ruin. No better object
lesson on Satan could be given than
to point out the great bloated and
stinking, but well-dressed doggery-
keeper, as he waddles along the streets
or sits in his den like spider. and
with a hideous attempt at smile,
talks glibly about the beauties of ''my
peesness," and "vot [ am doing for
der town." It is the main object of
the work of Satan to drag souls down
to destruction. It is also the main
object Of the doggery Keeper to drag
his fellow-men down with himself to
moral ruin. Satan destroys souls
from love Of wickedness. His agent,
the doggery-keeper, has the additional
motive of destroying them for mon
ey. How much better is the doggery-
keeper than his master, the Devil?

An inmate of the Jail at Canton, Ohio,
saw veritable 'ghost'' one night last
week, which frightened him almost to
death. A man appeared to him in the
night with its right hand upraised as in
the act of swearing. It's neck was broken,
and its head lay upon one shoulder" This
description tallies exactly with that of
Mcmillan, who was hung in Canton last
year for numbering his wife, although the
frightened man had never seen the muir
derer. 1t is pity that every criminals
conscience does not give him an occasion
al soaring such as this Canton man got.

The ECLECTIC MAGAZINE for Februa
ry contains an excellent collection of
timely and interesting papers from the
foreign magazines. Goldwin Smiths es-
say on Evolutionary Ethics and Chris
tianity,' from the Contemporary Recie1O,
is powerful presentation of the subject,
and commands the place of honor in the
magazine. Another article from the same
review, by A. Lang, discusses Literary
Forgeries.' A paper from the Edjnbatrgb
RecieaC, on "The Ancient, Medieval, and
Modern Stage" will be found full of in
terest. Genius" from M0cmilZan's and
"The Ramblings of Paper-Knife," from
Temple Bar, are lighter articles of
highly readable character. "The Ideas Of
an Exile" by Prince Ibrahim Hilmy,
brother of the Khedive of Egypt, and
Extracts from the Diary of the Marquis
Tseng,' will be found entertaining and
suggestive. There is an attractive paper
by Grant Allen on THE Ancestry of
Birds" and one by Rev. H. r. Haweis on
the composer and pianist, "Moscheles"
There is a Chinese story from Black
aCoodS, "a Matrimonial Fraud" which is
fresh and piquant. Considerable interest
will be felt in the article on "Outcast
Russia by the Nihilist, Prince Krapot-
kline. There are poems by Renheii Rodd
and Montgomerie Ranking, and several
short papers of interest. "a Great Re
ligious Reformer," by Prof. Max Muller,
will also be read with much interest
The number is fully up to, if not superior
to its predecessors.

says: "The congressional library bill is now
taking its annual airing, whacked by all the
pros and cons with unabated vigor. In the
largest sense this is not a subject Of national
interest; for, while closely allied to national
intelligence, it affects personally only congress
itself and the few property holders who may or
may not be benefited by the selection Of the
library building site. On the congressional
library itself the most conflicting opinions are
expended. A portion of the members regard
the sending of every book and pamphlet, how
ever insignificant, to this library as an intoler-
able nuisance and look upon the mass of books
accumulated, as, in very large degree, tre-
mendous pile of trash. Others, weighing only
the wheat, look upon great national library
as an object of pride to be sumptuousy housed
in a building built expressly for it, worthy Of
the resources Of the nation Pre-eminenty
among the latter Is Senator Morrill, of Vermont,
who for years has urged upon congress the
necessity of building for the accommodation
Of the congressional library not only, but also
one for the use Of the supreme court, both of
which, in their architecture, he argues, should,
by close proximity, add symmetry and grandeur
to the capitol building and all together form
an august group of public edifces worthy of
the wealth, intelligence and fame Of the United
States" The senator should learn wisdom
from the Vermont legislature which seems to
regard the dome Of the capitol as place good
enough for our state library.

Of the past week was an exceptionally pleasant
gathering to commemorate the fifth anniver-

dropped in, unannounced, last week Tuesday
evening, but the squire and his better half were
not so easily Disconnected and they received
the company in a most cordial manner The
party had evidently come to enjoy themselves,
which they proceeded to do to the fullest ex-
tent. Tokens of friendship, consisting of sew
ing-machine, camp chair, lamp, and numerous
other articles were presented in behalf of the
company by c. C. Caves. Well cooked BIZ
valves, with the usual accomplishments, were
served from ten to twelve. Excellent motive
power for dancing was furnished by Messrs.
Chase, Sulham and Dunsmoor. While re-
turning through the drifts from neighbor's,
after the recent blow, L. NJ. Cameron's mare

she was not getting home fast enough, and, to

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5. 1884.
Announcement.

The publisher OF THE WAToHMAN announces
that he has purchased the Green Mountain
Freeman and will merge that paper in THE
WATCHMAN. The purchase embraces the Free
man subscription list and arrearages, job office,
presses, type and material. The issue for the
current week will be the final number OF the
Freeman. Its subscribers will thereafter be
supplied with THE VERMONT WATcHMAN. The
Green Mountain Freeman was established in
1874 by Joseph Poland, as the organ Of the de-
veloping anti-slavery sentiment in the state,
aud it was the voice through which the young
liberty party spoke with so much vigor and
potency that, receiving accessions from the
liberty-loving element in each of the old parties,
it finally triumphed over both and led the way
to the formation and triumph of the state re-
publican party. The Freeman had a mission.
It had a constituency of fervid, resoute spirits,
attaining circulation OF four thousand, and it
accomplished its mission with thoroughness
and completeness that placed vermont in the
van of the states devoted to freedom. In Janu-
ary, 1S49 the great object of the establishment
of the paper having been accomplished, Mr.
Poland, by reason of il firm health, sold the
Freeman to Jacob Scott of Barre Daniel p
Thompson became sole proprietor and editor
at the beginning of 1850. 1t passed into the
hands OF s. s Boyce in 1856, and in 1861 c. W.
Willard became editor and proprietor. Under
Mr.. Willard's management the Freeman again
became conspicuous and influential in state and
local politics. In 1869 J. w. Wheelock became
half owner, and in 1873 sole proprietor and
editor. Upon his death in 1876 his son, H, r.
Wheelock, succeeded to the ownership and,
with Hiram A. Huse as editorial writer, has
conducted the paper till the present time. We
trust that its consolidation with THE WATCH.

a larger field for usefulness will inure to the
benefit, not only of the old and the new follow.
