Temperance i'm Vermont,

Correspondence New York World.l
During recent visit.to Vermont | made
some studies of the workings of the temper
ance laws of that State There are 10 more
rigid laws in any State against the sale or
manufacture of liquor than in Vermont.
The sale of a single glass OF liquor
is punishable by fine of $50. A second Of
Tense calls for a reprimand and an in
crease of the fine. The third Ofiense must
be punished with years imprisonment if
the law is rigidly enforced, yet the law is
practically dead letter. 1t is enforced spas
medically and is more used as the engine
of petty spite and small blackmail than any
thing else. Liquor is openly sold every
where, save in the smallest of the towns
In the latter a stranger might find a little
difficulty in getting all he would want but
none of the natives would. During the last
year have been in all of the principal towns
of New England, where temperance legisla-
ton has longest prevailed, and have always
mites where there are no restrictions. The
evil effect of the temperance laws in
New England lies in the fact that
hands of the lowest and least re-
sponsible class. The average alcoholic
drink sold in that section is a horrible
poison. Any one who has seen much of New
England will be easily convinced that high
license is the true solution of the temperance
question. These temperance laws are great
stimulants to hypocrisy. A false community
sentiment has been built up, so that many of
those who drink and who are at heart opposed
to the laws would vote against their repeal.

moment. What would become of the work
men were the ropes which hold the cauldron
to snap? But let us be treasured; every pre-
caution has been taken. A slight incIina-
ton being given to the cauldron we see the
top of the steaming mass which a workman
skins; an inclination of few degrees more
causes the bronze to run very slowly. Thus
far the metal has not entered the mould, but
NOW, the four vertical iron bars which close
its oriices and are interj0ined, are moved
upwards by means of q pulley, and rum
bling noise of thunder close By tells that the
bronze has reached the farthest recesses of
the mould.
A greater inclination causes the metal to
flow in with greater and more alarming
noise, while the scaffolding upon which a
dozen w0rkmen stand is enyeloped in blue
flames of oxide of carbon and white vapor
The scene now appears in all the horrors of
an autodafe. The heat is extreme, the work
mems clothes catch fire, still the greatest or
der prevails. The metal in the meantime
continues to run down and the statue will
soon be cast. The white fumes has become
as intense a London fog; one hardly dis
tinguishes his near neighbor a third and
last inclination of the cauldron makes the
last drops of metal fall into the mould The
casting is terminated.

POSTAL SACKS BY EXPRESS.
A Matter of Investigation for the Railway
Mail Service.

The following special dispatch was re-
ceived by the Globe-Democrat from Pine
Bluff, Ark:
''The postal railway clerk on the Texas
and ST. Louis Railway has unearthed an out
on the mail service. Several tons OF bogus
mail matter in Government mail sacks were
expressed from st. Louis to Tyler, Tex, and
was being sent back from Tyler as mail mat
ter. This month the service weighs the mail
matter, and the weight. thus taken will stand
as an average for twelve months. The pack
ages are addressed to parties in the Western
States The Postmaster is IN. charge of the
sacks, awaiting orders from the Superintend-
ent of the mail service at st. Louis
Superintendent +. A. Wartield, of the rail-
way mail service, was seen last night. He
said there was. as far as he understood the
case, no fraud, or attempted fraud, ON the
part of the Texas and st. Louis Road in the
matter The facts were that Meyer Brothers
4 Co, of this city, sent out for distribution in
Texas ten sacks of printed matter by express
and used mail-sacks to contain the circulars.
1t is usual for concerns having large second
and third-class mails to send to the P0stotfce
for mal-sacks in which to transfer the mat
ter to the Office from their establishments.
Meyer Brothers & Co. were provided, and,
owing to ignorance ON the part of the ship
ping clerk of the statute making it criminal
to use lnail-sacks for any other purpose
than the transmission of mail matter,
the circulars were placed in them
and sent by express down the Texas
and st. Louis RAILROAD. " happened

a young friend of George Gould was din
ing with the family. Conversation turned
on tricks, and the young friend said he
could take off mans vest without removing
his coat He explained that feat, which
consists of working the vest down the arms
by gradually coaxing the shoulders through
the armholes. Then the vest can be removed
by slipping it off under the coat sleeves.
DeXterity and patience are required. The
young man was positive he was the only one
present who could do it. Mr. Gould listened
to the explanation and said that any man
could do it, and that he could do it on the
spot The caller was zealously anxious to
bet his modest pile against an equal sum to
be put up by the millionaire; but the latter
advised him not to bet any more than big
apple, as he would be sure TO lose it, Mr..
Gould thereupon proceeded to perform the
elusive act. He first took off his coat
'Hold on sir" said the young man, "that
is not permitted; il is barred"
81 understand that replied the banker;
''I'll put on the coat again. I'm only getting
ready"
Then he took off his vest and at once put
on his coat and succeeded it with putting
on his vest outside of his coat.
I'm at your service now, he quietly said.
The young man lost an apple but gained
verification of the important truth that
there is more than one way of doing thing.
In his own style there is no greater lover OF
quiet fun than Jay Gould.

THE WHISPERING GALLERY.

1t is not often that we come across so clever a
culiarity OF which we viii let readers find out
Tor themselves. We hardly need to hint that the
verse is of English origin:
Now that we have the money safe
We fret no more; our hopes are higher.
The TOries.an may growl and chafe.
And call our Grand Old Man a-politician.
sTis true we had to trust the truth.
How else could we have got the dibs?
And Randolph c.. that forward youth.
Quite rightly say we told some-otficial answers.
That is the Grand Old Chieftain's way.
No wonder that we chant his praises;
He pulls us through from day to day.
By hinging truth and right tO-the waste-paper
basket,
''Havocr' cried he, '.the dog of war
In Russian blood shall freely revel,''
He reused his warriors near and far,
lie vowed that he would play the-miSehief.
We followed him like gentle lambs
And thus was worked that chief OF shams,
By blatant, brazen, callous-Orat0ry.
The British Lion ceased to roar.
He fawned. and bent the knee to Bruiu,
Gladstone has done the trick once more,
He buys his place by England
ment.
And Master Granville kept up well
The ball that Master William led off,
Pity that history will not tell
How Britons rose and cut his-oratOry short.
Merrily down the steep of shame
-Ner sliding now The road grows rougher.
Lost is our strength, sullied our name
And all through this Precious Old-patriOt.

A CANNON FILLED WITH GOLD
Discovery of Burgoyne's Treasure Chest at
the Bottom of n Creek.
Troy On. " Special. 7


There are any number of men hereabouts
who possess charts and maps of locations
said TO contain millions OF buried treasure.
Down the river there are caves and bays
wherein Captain Kidd's vessels are believed
10 have anchored, and of these the exact con-
formation is given in charts held by persons
who are only waiting the necessary
capital before finding fabulous wealth.
The opportunities Of fortune-hunt-
ers on the lower Hudson are not greater than
those from the Canadian line south of the
scene of Burgoyne's surrender. II is known
that when the Kings troops started South,
intent on defeating General Gates, and by
capturing Albany shutting off General
Washington from the flower of the CONT
mental troops, their officers were well sup
piled with money. and tradition has it that
in 1875, when the English soldiers were pass
ing through ComstOck Washington County
some of the leaders became alarmed over the
prospect OF surprise by the enemy. 50 they
filled a large brass cannon with gold,
plugged il up and shot il into the creek
forty rods south of Comstock. and from
that time to the present there have
been many different parties at Comstock in
search of this treasure. One Is a man named
Chaplin, from New Jersey, with a partner
from Brandon, VT. Chaplin spenxS Il month
at ComStOck year ago last winter, making
observations, and last week he reached the
village again, with professional diver from
Boston and other men. To-day il is an
nounced that they have found the cannon.
but the water at the point Is thirteen feet
deep, with strong current, and there is
about three feet OF sand. old logs and other
debris over and about the treasure These
Accommodations will be removed and the can
non, which is bottom-side up, will be hoisted
ashore

that below Pine Bluff there had been a wash
out or some other accident, and a transfer
was necessary. While the sacks containing
Meyer Bros circulars were being taken to
the express car on the other side of the
break Postal Clerk Harleston saw them and
demanded that they be taken to the postal
car. The express messenger demurred, but
insisting that anything contained in a small
sack belonged to the Postoffice Department,
Harleston seized the sacks and turned them
over to the Postmaster at Pine Bluff, where
they are now held for orders.
The rate of compensation for roads carry
ing mails is fixed by the amount of mail
they carry, AID that Is ascertained by weigh
ing the mails on that road for thirty days if
the runs are every day in the week. In the
latter case the average is reached by dividing
the total weights by 30, as in the former, as
it is held that if the Sunday trips were not
made, the amount of matter carried Sunday
would have to be transported Monday.
The Texas and ST. Louis has only been
weighed in part, owing to the unsettled con-
dition of the road since il was opened, and
the indisposition ,of the road managers
to have the weights taken at times when they
were not receiving full share of the busi-
ness on account of its being directed to other
roads while they were crippled by washouts
etc. About June % an order for weighing
was issued to extend over thirty-five DAYS,
upon which the rate OF compensation will be
based for the time elapsing before next sum-
mer, when the regular quadrennial weighing
will take place on all the roads. The weights
taken every four years stand until the elapse
OF that period, unless an extraordinary in
crease or decrease is shown.
''Whilc don't think there has been any
fraud" said Mr.. Warfield, '.yet / will give
orders to throw out all the weights already
taken, and continue the work for so many
additional days This course will be neces-
sary in order to silence any criticism of the
computation and the rate of compensation al
lowed on the weights taken. The sacks were
never weighed, however. They have never
been considered in the mail, and, although
we hold them, do not weigh them as mail
matter. Somebody takes my pocket-book
and puts something in it; retain possession
of the book and its contents, and hold both.
l have ordered the Postmaster at Pine Bluff
to send me samples of the matter, and will
investigate the case. AS far as / can see
now the only thing that is wrong about it is
the misuse of the sacks. What we will do
about that is an open question"

A strange habitati0n to-day found,
Built of bushes. and bark. and boards.
And holding hidden the queerest boards.
There were bits OF erockery. sticks, and stones,
Shreds of pink calico, strings of cones,
Crumbs of candy, picture book.
And strangest of all, in cosy nook
Was an idol made in the image of man,
With charcoal eyes. and stuffed with bran.
''Nere they heather who dwelt therei" ., no

"Were they animal?' Yes, of the kind that
can read
And laugh and cry. and be wicked or pray
And when they are old their hair grow gray.
Their names are Margery, Ned and Sue:
Their curls are brown. and their eyes are blue 7;
And they huilded there in the Summer heat,
AS glad as the birds, and sang as sweet.
