The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1885-08-20


Boston Troublesome of the cores
pondents hear that Gen, Butleris "com-
ing out for President Cleveland" and
others that he is to lead an opposition
within the party. Since Gen. Buffers
failure in the Governors Office, wherein
he wasted one of the greatest opportu-
mites of his life, and the fiasco of last
years presidential campaign, we do not
imagine it will make much difference
which side he ,,comes out on, or what
he attempts to do in politics. 1t is truly
said of some men who are still living
that their careers are behind them.
The Vermont Marble company has
just finished at Center Rutland a mon
ument of a decidedly novel design. 1t
is for the last resting place of child
and consists of similitudc of a pile of
stones covered by a sort of plain cloth
drapcry on which two little shoes and a
child's stocking are placed in very
natural looking manner. The whole is
in one piece and svery creditably cary
ed in white marble.

Visiting Grants Tomb.

A New York Press Dispatch dated,
Smday:-The crowds that thronged
to Riverside today reminded one of the
time when Gen. Grant lay in state in
city hall. Long ribbons of men and
women stretched away from the park in
all directions, and every street leading
to the tomb was more crowded than ii
had ever been before. The elevated
and surface cars ran fnll. Dozens of
cntcrprising Americans had foreseen
what was coming, and done their best
to provide against hunger and thirst.
Little lemonade enterprises had sprung
up all over. Beer flowed very freely
under the well worn title of Weis beer.
Up around the tomb an extra force of
policemen had been detailed. Throngs
swarmed over the park, and the especial
desire of each man and woman seemed
to be to 90 where he or she had no right
to 90. At l o'clock the crowd around
the tomb had grown so large that a line
was formed, and it scOn reached four
deep distance of four blocks. Every
one who wanted to look into the open
doors of the tomb hadto fall in at the
end of the line, and while half the po-
lice force ran up and down the line to
keep justice and order on top, the 9th
ers remained in front of the vault and
devoted themselves to rushing the peo-
pie along.

The Eye of the Potato.

During recent years much has been
written about the culture Of the potato.
All the various phases of the subject
have been treated, from the breaking of
the ground to the disposal of the crop in
market.
We have learned much rs to the me-
chanical preparation of the soil, of man
ures and fertilizers. as well as the general
treatment Of the crop during ground.
Single eye, two eyes, half and whole po-
tato planting, vas discussed and adpocat-
ed bp different writers.
A suggestion to cultivators may not be
out of place here; namely, that they make
observations as to the number OF stalks pro-
duced in single eye planting. TO see how
many Of the minor germs will develop.
The yield of the potato varies so much
u quality that we ought to be interested
n tn @ causes of these differences, and ask
ourselves how much of this can be ascribed
to the mechanical preparations of the
soil, how much to manures and fertilizers,
how much to the conditions Of the
season, and last, but not least. how Euch
to our mode of planting the tuber,-

HOW LONG TO SLEEP.
What the Proverbs ana Modern
Philosophers Say ON tho
subject,

The latest authority on this veyed ques-
ton, DIR. Malins, says that the proper
amount of sleep to be taken by man Is
eight hours. So far as regards city life tho
estimate is probably correct, Proverbial
wisdom does not apply to modern condi-
tions of social existence, Five (hours)
for man, seven for woman, and nine
for pig" says one proverb; and second,
quoted by Mr. Ha2litt in his English
Proverbs, declares that Mature requires
five; custom gives (allowsl seven; laziness
takes nine; and wickedness eleven F"
These conclusions We're, however, drawn
from observation of country life. Physi-
cal fatigue is more easily overcome than
intellectual. Which OF us when travelling
in the country or abroad, or in any way
separated from the ordinary processes of
thought and anxiety, has not found that
he could, without difficulty, do with q
couple of hours less sleep than he was in
the habit of taking' Men, however, who
follow any intellectual pursuit are eXcep-
tionally fortunate if the processes of re-
storation occupy less than seven hours,
More frequently they extend to eight or
nine hours. Kant, see it stated, took
never less than seven hours. Goethe
owned to requiring nine. Soldiers and
sailors, on the other hand, like laborers,
do with much less quantity. | am afraid
to say how few hours the Duke of Well.
ington regarded as essential. A school
master under whom at one time studied,
a Woodworking man at the acquisition OF
languages, proclaimed loudly that he
never took more than five hours sleep.
The hour at which he rose in the morning
gave some color to this assertion. Only IN
after life did discover that II two hours
post-prandial siesta was not included in
that allowance.-ThCG entcmaifs Mdgd-

The heavy rain that visited this sec
ton last Thursday night was very gen
eral and did considerable damage. At
White River junction it is reported as
the heaviest rain since 1869, and the
damage in that town, to highways and
bridges is placed at $4,000. In the neigh
borhood of Schenectady, n. y. crops
were badly damaged by the storm and
Oh some farms heavy deposit of stones

Condemned out of their own mouths.

Reformer:--Therc arc several BLUM
dersinappointments torecord this week.
One is that of Postmaster Dunton at
Lincolnville, Me. who is in Jail for en-
bezzlement while assistant postmaster.
He had big petition from the people
of the town before the crime was dis
covered, his application was endorsed
by prominent party leaders and the ap-
pointment was made by the assistant
postmaster general on the papers as
thay appeared before him. No one had
Informed him of the crime, trial and i'm
prisonment. Another easel is that of G
P. Judd, who, on the recommendation
of prominent Colorado Democrats, was
appointed May 16, to be special agent
of the national labor bureau. He isun'
der arrest at Denver, Col, for horse
stealing, confesses the crime, and says
be has previously served term in pris
on at Leavenworth, Kan. and two
terms in a penitentiary in Colorado fol
similar offenses. Another case is of j
j. Shannon who has been appointed
postmaster of Meridian, Miss. Shan
non is editor of the Meridian Mercury
which said after Gen. Grants death
"Grant is dead. We have no tears tt
shed, but may the rulers in heaven b,
kind to him." He claims however tina
awicked partner put the article in TIN
paper. The presidents pardon of Null
len at Cincinnati must have better reas
ons to Justify it than have yet beef
made public, OF it cannot be excused

President Cleveland is meeting out
stern and long deferred justice to the
land-grabbers, and it looks very much,
as if he means to follow the matter up
to a successful issue.
The land commissioners investiga-
tions shows that 800, 900 acres in Colo
RADIO. 100000 in New Mexico, 100000
in Nebraska, 25O, 900 in Wyoming, POO
900 in Kansas, 10000 in Nevada and an
unknown acreage in Montana and other
territories, have been seized and fenced
in by cattle companies. Two companies
arc found which hold million acres
each, making enormous fortunes every
year. If this is true, the president is
justified in taking the most stingent
measures to GUST the whole set of thieves
and land-sharks.

remove their office from Montpelier to

September. Claims, to receive prompt
attention, must be accompanied by at
least 10 per cent, of the income for one
year, of the Office sought after. Appli-
cations endorsed by the Ex-Gov. OF

Raising His Price,

During the carpet-bag reign in Missis-
sippi when four-fifths of the Legislature
was made up of negroes unable to write
their own names, most of the steals were
characterized as "public improvements. u

voted on a white member would pass

am divided up between you white men,
but desiah to inform you dat my vote

How often is il said that the true mis-
sion of woman is to train her children
Alright and make home happy! And who
will bring dissenting voice TO this the
DRY? But do any fully realize what wo-
man requires to fit her for these duties
Note the children that are growing TO
be men and women. They are the hope
of our country, Is there any danger
that they will be other than what our
country needs? Evil influences surround
them from their birth, and they have
within them the possibilities of bccom-
ing base, false, unworthy and repulsivc.
All our criminals, liars, drunkards,
thieves and murdcrers were once inno-
cent little children; and does il depend
on chance what the children shall be?
Does it not depend very much upon
training, and early training? Children,
it is said receive impressions like wax,
like marble retain them. Who shall dare
make these early impressions, which
are to be so enduring? Oh, the moth
ers always have the care of the children,
il is their mission-the chief duty of
their lives. How judicious, how COM
prehensivc should be the education that
will fit person for such an office! But
has it not been, generally, considered
that Il woman who is going to marry
and settle down to domestic life needs
but little education? In every other oc-
cupation we demand preparation. The
individual who builds our ships, cuts
our coats, manufactures our watches,
takes care of our cattle, our trees, our
flowers must know how, must have
some preparation for his calling. 1t is
only character moulding, only shaping
the destinies of immortal beings for
which we demand neither preparation
nor knowledge of the business.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
Mrs. Geo. Smith, member of the
Weston w. C. r. L. has been sudden
ly removed from our midst by the hand
of death, and passed, as we trust, to the
enjoyment of Il higher life.
"A loving wife and mother, dutiful
daughter, and faithful friend; ever
ready to lend helping hand to all in
need of assistance, she will be much
missed, not alone in the home but in the
church of which she was a member,
and in all public works.
Folded are the hands that toied faith
fully for the loved; stilled the voice
that gave strong counsel to the weak,
and words of comfort TO the weary and
sad. We shall hold in pleasant remem-
brance her associations with lis in tenn
perance work: and while one of our
white ribbon army has fallen, may
those that emain close up the ranks and
labor still more faithfully in the cause.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to
the bereavcd ones, and may the conso-
latiOns of Divine love sustain them in
their hour of sadness.

How to Address the prcSi .

The proper form of addressing the
President in documents and letters is,
according to the act of Congress, 1850.
"To the President: Sir" He is to be adj
dressed personally as "Mr. President"
He is not the Honorable or an Excel
lency," only plain Mister. No person
holding Federal Office is entitled to the
appellation Hon. Or to any title of hon
or whatever, with the exception perhaps,
of the Justices of the Supreme Court. Per
sons holding State Offices are by law
Excellencies," lord Pro! ections, u
High, Mighty and Puissants," Honor
ables," and the like.

Take piece of paper and foil it up, as
schoolboys do, into square box withouta
lid. Hang this up to walking
stick by four threads, and support the
stick on books or other convenient props.
Then lamp or taper must be placed
under this dainty cauldron. In few
moments the water will boil The only
fear is lest the threads should catch fire
and let the water spill into the lamp AMI
over the table. The flames must therefore
not be too large. The paper Dies
not burn because it is wet, and even if it
resisted the wet it would not be burned
through, because the heat impaired to
one side by the fame would be very rapid
ly conducted away by the other.-Ndtitrc,

Take Plenty of Outdoor Exercise.

Take Plenty of Outdoor Exercise.
A good deal is being said at presentabout
the comparative beauty of English and
American women. Lord Colerdge gives
the palm for both beauty and intellect TO
the Americans. Sir Lepel Griffin, on the
other hand, is strongly in favor of the
English. He is inclined to attribute n
great deal of his superiority which he at
tributes to English women partly to eli
matte influences, and still more to the
habits Of everyday life generally prevalent.
He says that English women take far more
outdoor exercise in n variety of ways
specified, do great deal more walking,
and busy themselves more in the activities
of benevolent and religious exercise.
There is a great deal Of truth in all this.
American ladies shut up for the most
part of long, cold winter, In hot and
comparatively ill ventilated houses, with
scarcely anything but what, as if in mock
cry, is called carriage exercise" must
soon have a pale and delicate appearance,
which passes speedily from the attract
iveness of youth to something anything
but attractive. There can be no denying
the fact, however, that the general health
of American women and girls is much
better now than it was ten years ago.
They are much fonder Of walking than
We're their mothers, and many outdoor
sports are now fashionable among them,
and are in consequence being freely cult
waited by them.

The Game or Names.

Each player takes long strip of paper
and lead pencil. The teacher then com
mences by calling out Girls names
beginning with two letters-two minutes
allowed" Each player then writes down
all the girls names beginning With two
letters that he Tor She can recollect, and
at the expiration OF the two minutes
"time is called. Then the oldest player
reads from his Tor herr slip all the names
he or she has written down-say Amy
Amabel, Alice, Annie, Armenia, Alleen.
etc. All the other players, as the names
are read out, cancel any name read out, if,
for instance, all have written Amy, and
count one mark. Say six players have
Amabel and four have not, each of the six
count one mark; those who have not
thought and written down Amabel get
nothing for Amabel, and so on through
the list. The object Of the game is to
teach the children all girls and boys
names When the marks have been al
lotted for all the names the total of marks
are read out and noted on each slip. The
players then proceed in similar manner for
all boys names commencing with A, such
as Alfred, Abel, Adam, Andrew, Arthur,
etc. The game can be continued till all
the letters of the alphabet are exhausted.
But practically young players rarely care
to "do" more than thirty sets, or fifteen
letters consecutively. Various names
crop up, and the memory is well exercised,
and children generally vote it great fun
Any one introducing pet or fancy names
forfeits two marks.
