the contractor, we were permitted an in
spection of the plans for the new court
house the other evening, and herewith
give some facts concerning them which
will be of general interestto the county.
They were drafted by Lambert Packard,
architect of st. Johnsbury. The court
house is to be set in the middle of the
lot east and west, having frontage of
fifty feet and eight inches and depth of
ninety feet, eight inches. In front will
be projection six feet by twenty-eight,
making vestibule in front of the en-
trance and also forming base for the
tower. A rise of three granite steps will
bring one to the floor of the vestibule
which will be laid in tile. Crossing the
six feet width of vestibule the main en-
trance is reached-a pair of large doors
swinging outwards, while over them will

The revised edition of the Old Tesla
ment was published in London last week.
The new translation is the work of en-
inent divines on both sides of the Allan
tic and fourteen years have been consum-
ed In the task. Some important changes
have been made and the work is favora-
bly, commented on by the secular press.
The London Ath9neum says: "The re-
vision is a literary success, but has no
claim to scholarly completeness" The
Standard calls it ga good, useful, learned
work" The Times says: 1.-The revisers
have shown wide learning, scrupulous fl
deity and reverent caution, and the gen.
eral impression is the work will raise the
Old Testament to it's proper place as lit
erature apart from dogma"

The fools are not all dead, but there is
one less than there was eight days ago.
One "Prof." Odlum, undertook the Sam
Patch feat by jumping from the suspen-
sion bridge in New York. He was SNUG
gled on to the bridge in an express wag-
on to avoid the police, and, when near
the middle, jumped from height of 14O
feet. There were several sports on the
bridge and on the water below to watch
the doomed man. He undertook to strike
the water feet foremost but turned in the
descent and struck on his side. The
conclusion was terrible. A boat neal
the place where he fell, caught the body
as it rose to the surface. He lived only
a few minutes

"Offensive Partisanship" is with the

which is to be used in ousting republicans
from office. There has been some little

The Dominion forces under General
Middleton, in capturing Riel have put
down the rebellion, and peace will now
reign in the Saskatchewan country. 1t is
said our Canadian friends are embarrass-
ed as to the disposition to be made of
Riel. Let them take a lesson from our
late war, and let the half-breed chief go.
And then let them right the wrongs of
the half-breeds, by stopping the sale of
their lands and the withholding from
them of the $50 acres of land which is
granted each Manitoba settler, and should
be allotted the half-breeds also. But fol
these wrongs there would have been nc
rebellion at all and now that the rebel
lion has been subdned Canada should
show no vindictiveness towards the par
Elephants in conflict of which she was
herself largely the immediate cause.

After Il struggle of four months in the
legislature of Illinois, Gen. James A. Lo-
gan is chosen United States Senator.
The election last fall was exactly a tie :;
and the contest has been exceedingly
close between Senator Logan and Repre-
sentative Morrison. During the session
three members have died, and been re-
chosen. Recently q democrat from q
strong democratic district died and al
election the republicans turned out and
elected their man, giving them a MAORI

entitled to u republican senator. Gen
Logan deserves any honor that can b.
bestowed upon him, and nothing bu

Postmaster-General Villas circular, in
which the "spoils system" is revived, has
had cooling effect on a large number of
democratic organs and also upon mug
wump admirers of the administration.
They have discovered that call is not gold

grin and temper by severe criticism. 1t
isn't the republican OK that is gored this
time. Meantime the PostmaSter-gener-

partisanship" are as amusing as the low
comedy part in the celebrated farce en-
titled "Turn Him Out"

The European steamers just arrived in

Gus army Of glacial tramps in their
tracks. One steamer passed IS icebergs
in single hour Their altitude was from
200 to 800 feet above water, which would
make their depth below water to be from
1000 to 64OO feet according to the rule OF
biologists. In other words some of the
bergs were as large as Mt. Washington
The probability is that the maximum
height given as 800 feet is too great by
half, which would still leave those ice
bergs enormous monsters of the deep.

Buried Alive.

The writer of paper recently read before the French Academy of Medl- cine expresses the opinion that oue in every 5000 persons is buried alive, while official statistics show that the mortality among sailors from ship. wreck averages one in every 4,0eO The question has of late been much discussed by the medical body just mentioned, and it seems to be settled that none of the accepted indications of death, with the single exception oi the unmistakable decomposition of the body, are to be regarded as perfectly conclusive, It is certain that the pos sibility of such a trightful death weighs on tho mind of many of the French, as, according to a recent dec laration of the President of the Cham ber of Notaries, express instructions are gwen in one will out of every ten to have the teStator's heart pierced by . qualified surgeon before the coffin IS screwed down.--Phila.

Miss Cal houn has been taken up by James Russell Lowell, out of consideration for the memory of her kinsmau, John c. Calhoun. But even so, it is a little doubtful that the pretty Nellie will go to court. Victoria is not willing to abdicate in favor of Wales, except in things theatrical. Her majesty does not like actresses, however. well they come accredited, since being of a some. what sullen disposition she has never recovered from an attack of jealousy brought on by brief devotion of the Prince CoDsort to the stage door. The Prince, meantime, is trying scrupu- lously to make up for all that his father missed.-Argonaut.

(From the Washington Post.l
 First Assistant Postmaster General Crosby related a story of remarkable danng as told him by Lord Burgoyne, of England, Lord Burgoyne said;
 There is rather singular episode connected with the last American gen tleman whom I had the pleasure of meeting. In the summer of 1863 l was cruising in my yacht, the Grey hound, in the waters of the English Channel and the Mediterranean. One day 1 ran into Cherbourg, France. The town was alive with excitement. The Confederate cruiser Alabama had been followed into the harbor by the United States man-of-war Kearsargs. The twO hostile vessels were lying scarcely a cables length apart. Un- der the neutrality laws twenty four hours must elapse after the departure of one before the other would be al- lowed to follow. Capt. WiGslow, of the Kearsarge, had sent a challenge to Capt. Semmes, of the Alabama, for a naval duel outside the harbor. Capt. Semmes was anxious to avoid a fight, but, as you remember, was eventually forced into it. That evening at the table 'hote sat beside a gentleman who proved to be an American. He was obviously a man of the world, re- fined and cultivated. After chatting pleasantly, i remarked that had been invited to visit the Kearsarge the next day. My new-found friend expressed a desire to accompany me. consent ed, and together we went on board The officers were very courteous, and apparently took great pleasure in showing us about the shlp. My friend manifested the hvellest interest in everything he saw. His minnte in- quiries into the number of men car Jed, weight of armament, etc., showNd an intelligent understanding of nauti, cal matters that delighted our enter tainers, and elicited from them Che in- formation desired. A few days later both vessels steamed out of the harbor, and the celebrated fight took place. My sympathies were naturally with the South, and 1 sailed as close to the scens of action as was comfortable with safety to render what service could to the crew of the Confederate cruiser After the sinking of tke Ala bama, succeeded 3n rescuing score of the survivors. Among the number were Semmes and his fret officer As the latter stood before me, wet and shivering with his cold bath, my eyes opened with astonishment. Why, said ], this is Mir -, naming my friend of the table d'hote and fellow visitor to the Kearsarge. Yes, was the laughing reply; and l had her boilers located so that we would have put shot through them in another minute if she hadn't sunk us when she dld. :"
