A fashion magazine has an article on
"What will the coming girl wear :"
If the article refers to the servant girl
of the future, she will probably wear
the best the land affords.
1t is easier for caramel to go into
the mouth of an idol than for n woman
to avoid looking behind her to notice
the 'horrid set" of the dress of the
woman she has just passed.
Miss Kate Sanborn, the lecturer, says
that no two women are alike, but men
can be arranged in bundles.
The geography tells us that the
earth is fiattest at the polls. Some Of
the candidates are tlattest at the polls,
also.
An esteemed contemporary in OBJ
serving that a proposal by mail this
wear costs only two cents, while last
year it cost three, concludes that ''for-
tune always favOrs a woman 1t
should have added, land woman
always favors fortune" Ii is poor
rule that don't work both ways.

Items Of Interest.

The attempt to pass Il resolution
binding all the delegates to support
the nominees of the convention was
foolish and unnecessary, and met with
the failure which it deserved
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
surmises that Benjamin +. Butler will
probably be the most nominated and
the least elected of all tho presidential
candidates in 1884.
The training school for nurses at the
Mary Fletcher hospital in Burlington,
graduated its first class last week,
numbering seven women, who have
attended three annual courses of lee
lures.
Among the weapons used against
President Arthur at Chicago is IL book
entitled, elbow British subject Be-
came President of the United States"
1t is by A. p. Hinman, Brooklyn
lawer, and is Il revival of the old story
about Arthur having been born in
Canada.
Ezra Rollins, of Montpelier, recently
lost two children with diphtheria. 1t
is alleged that the carcasscs of 30 dead
sheep are rotting in pile of dressing
in the barnyard Of the adjoining place,
and that two rotten carcasses are
lying unburied in the pasture near by.

The "PIumed Knight"

The many inquiries made regarding
the origin of the title, 'Plumed Knight,
applied to Mr.. Blaine, are answered by
those who remember the CINCINNATI
Convention of 1876. In the speech
nominating Mr.. Blaine, Col. Robert G..
Ingersoll used this simile: "Like an
armed warrior, like Il plumed knight,
james G. Blaine marched down the
hall of the American Congress and
threw his shining lance full and fair
against the brazen forehead of every
aSsailant of his country and maligner
ofits honor. For the Republican party
to desert that gallant man is as though
an army should desert their general
upon the field of battle

grandmother and the children, Steph-
en- The grandmother liked Annie,
an they hadn't much trouble in gettin'
her consent to this arrangement, pro-
vldln' she said, they'd be married first,
sos she could call Annie daughter
Steve felt that there wasn't an hour to
lose, so they had the knot tied that
very day, and the minute the minister
said Amen the boy kissed his bride
er.' They knew what he meant, but
they were too broken hearted to say
anything. All they could think of then
was Steve lying there dyin', an dyin'
for the country just as much as if he'd
been regular soldier"
Uncle Simeon paused n moment, and
pulling out his handkerchief, drew it
across his eyes.
'Jim Parsons" he went on, cried
like baby when he heard that Steve
was gone, an mOre'n once I've heard
him say that he cOnldn't help feelin'
that maybe if Steve hadn't worked so
hard to save him it might have been
different.
"Ezry hurried back to the army as
soon as the funeral was over, an Annie
stayed right there an took care o. the
ole grandmother an the two little sis
ters till Ezra came home, which wasn't
till the end of the war. He'd lost his
left arm an been hurt in the leg, soft
he had to walk with crutch at first
he was kinder 'fraid Annie wouldn't
want him; but Annie, though she
hadn't got over grievin' for Steve, mar
ried him all the same fact, amt sure
but she married him soonern she would
if he'd come home 'thout scratch {;
that's usually the way with you women,
but neither of 'em ever forgot Steve,
an if they an ole jim Parsons had
been in Dexter to-day young Jim
wouldn't a. set there putin his cigar
with his feet danglin' over Steve's
grave. But then, as | was sayin be-
fore, Miss Carter, the rising generation
q the day amt no reverence for the
past. Fact is, they don't know enough
about the past"
A vigorous rap of the ancient brass
knocker interrupted his epilogue, and
Aunt Polly, opening the door, found
two impatient travellers on the thresh-
old.
"Well, do say" cried the old man.
''Speakin' % the angels, it's Annie an
Ezry themselves !"
They had come hundred miles to
lay their offering on Stephens grave,
but the trains had failed to connect
and hence their late arrival. Supper
had already been waiting half an hour,
but the moment Uncle Simeon learned
their crrand he hobbled out and har-
messed the horse, for the cemetery was
il mile and more away.

The Realms Of the BIeSt.

We speak Of the realms OF the blest,
OF that country 80 bright and so fair,
And oft are its glories confessed:
But what must it be TO be therei
We speak Of its pathways of gold,
OF its walls decked with Jewels so rare
OF its wonders and pleasures untold,
But what must it be to be therel
We speak of its freedom from sin.
From sorrow. temptation and care,
From trials without and within:
But what must it be to be there
We speak of its service of love,
OF the robes which the glOrified wear,
OF the church of. the first-born above;
But what must it he to he therel
Lord, midst our gladness and woe,
Still for heaven our spirits prepare;
And shortly we also shall know
And feel what it is to be there

ON BLIND DRUNK
The Edmunds men commanded the
respect of the convention, and Gov.
Longs able appeal from the wild rush
of irresponsible action to the calm
Judgment of the fireside was pertinent
for the passing moment. But the
body was not deliberating assembly.
1t was a mob, swayed too largely by
the impudent interference of the gal
lerles. The convention has
been on a blind drunk of enthusiasm,
and is likely to have solemn SOLDERING
off time. In fact, the republican party
has nominated Blaine much as Mass;l-
chusetts elected Butler,-iust to see
what the old man would do.-IManager

ABOUT THE SIZE OF 1T.
The Express and Standard and the
CGtedOniGn are referred to in sneerng
way occasionally, by few state
papers, as religious journals. If con-
ducting paper upon sound business
principles, advocating right measures
and condemning wrong ones, speaking
fearlessly upon public topics, letting
who will be hit thereby; striving to
commend honesty and virtue, and re-
proving vice and crime. realizing the
influence of family paper in the
home, and hesitating to print any
thing which might taint any member
of any household, having positive
beliefs concerning morality and right;
If conducting paper upon this foun-
datiOn makes it religious journal, we
accept the name and will keep right
on at the old stand. We presume the
CaIedonidn feels in the same way
Newport Express.
WILL ALL BE SORRY IN NOVEMBER.
Finally the great agony is over. Mr..
Blaine is the candidate of the repub-
lican party for the office of president
of the United States. We are sorry for
it, and we believe the republicans will
all he sorry for it next November. In
dignatiOn of decent opinion at the ever
recurring nuisance of the Blaine can
didacy, Il revolt against the open
shamelessness of the Blaine men and
their methods, and at their scheme of
carrying things with Il roar and not by
reason, has made men feel that ut last
there was perhaps but one cure for all
this, which was to have the Blaine cle-
ment carry the convention and nomi-
nate their man, and then see the man
and the party buried ont of sight by an
overwhelming defeat at the hands of
the people, all who have felt that way
have their cues before them, and they
may at least congratulate themselves
that they are now indeed in fair way
to have done with Blaine fOrever.-[N.
