LEGISLATIVE REUNION.

There was notable gathering at
Montpelier last week of present and
former members of the legislature,
statesmen, lawyers, judges, women
and distinguished visitors. The pro-
gramme of exercises contemplated
a four days meeting and many ar
rived on Tuesday and remained until
Saturday morning. Wednesday fore
noon there was a reception at the
State House where were Geo. Pin
gree, ex-governors Smith, Stewart,
Proctor, Farnham and Barstow. A
line was formed, and it took the
crowd nearly two hours to pass by
and give and receive the hand shakes.
In the afternoon a much larger num-
Der formed in line and marched to
the rink where, probably, not less
than one thousand, who had at one
time and another been connected
with the legislature, and as many
others, including a very large sprink-
ling of ladies, met to listen to an adj
dress delivered by Geo. w. Wing,
Esq. Among the more distinguish
ed persons present were Senators Ed
munds and Morrill,, Representatives
Stewart and Grout, ex-judge Barrett,
eX-Govs. Barstow and Farnham
and Gov. Pingree, Lieut.. Gov. Orms-
bee, Hon. A. L. Miner of Manches-
ter, Hon. l. n. Hall of Groton, the
governors staff, and w. w. Stick
ney, secretary of the reunion, and
many others. Hon. L. HI. Thomp-
son of Irasburgh presided. After
music from the Sherman Military
Band of Burlingt ton and the Mont
pelier Band, the chairman called on
Mr.. Wing, who made very pleasant
address of welcome. A short mock
session was held, over which Lyman
G. Hinckley of Chelsea presided.
Cline was perfectly at home in
the chair and made very neat little
speech in which he told a couple OF
laughable stories which turned the
joke on the senator's, and caused
great cheering. Senator Edmunds
responded and quite happily turned
the tables on Hinckley. Senator
Morrill, made brief talk. There
was another gathering in the evening
for the purpose of little speech.

Literary Life.

The August number of Literary
Life' being the first number of vol
ume ", contains the first part of
Joaquin Miller's great poem, "The
Sword OF the South" This poem,
written in and for the South, he
prophesies will shake the rafters of
heaven. The poet has put forth his
greatest energy in writing this poem.
1t is an eloquent pleading for a juster
appreciation of the true situation of
the warm-hearted, generous South
erner, whose worldwide reputation
is one of hospitality and liberality,
rather than that of a sharer in our all
pervading infectious greed for gold,
for which those of the North are in
this poem so powerfully condemned
Literary Life is a high-class illus
trated literary magazine, every num-
Der of which is worth the annual sub.
scription to same, which is but one
dollar. 1t is published at S64 Wa
bash Avenue, Chicago.

Hop at the Warren House.

In the ballroom of the Warren

a most delightful hop, complimentary

A Relic of the War.

TullahOma Guardian.
Mr., l.. ID. HickersOn, gr., has a ter
rapin, which he and some other young
men of our town purchased from the
agent Of the finder, last Friday, that
is somewhat of a curiosity in its way,
having passed through the war UNI
scathed, except few marks made by
friendly hands. The hand seems to
have been that of an Ohio soldier,
and his memento mot a memeatO
mort let us hope) is as follows: "July
%, 1863. G. Smith, 18th Reg, o. V.
l., U. S. A." The go. V. l." is sup
posed to stand for "Ohio Volunteer
Infantry. If Mr.. Smith is living,
(and we hope he is) the knowledge
that his pet still survives, may give
him pleasure and recall to his mind
the incidents of the time during which
he had time to make his mark in so
lastingly legible style. If he did not
survive the vicissitudes of war, it
might be a pleasure to some of his
friends or relatives, to see his name
as carved with his own hand. u.
The terrapin was found by a col
Ored woman near Hawkerville, in
Grundy county, while working in
her garden and sent to town for sale.

About Rats.

. AS some parties seemed to doubt
what we had to say few weeks since
about the manner in which rats con-
vey eggs up stairs, we give the fol-
lowing substantiation of the facts,
which we clip from an exchange:
The story is Enthusiastically told
by the London Times that a certain
baronet, watching to catch the thief
who nightly stole eggs from his PAN
try, saw rats removing them by in
genious process. One rat clasped an
egg with his legs, turned on his back
and was drawn off with his load by
his companions who held his tail be-
tween their teeth as a tug rope.

Died.

We regret very much to chronicle
the death of Walter A. Burger, eldest
son of DR.. J. M. Burger, which Oc-
Cured at his home in this place Tues
day, August 18th, at s o'clOck. He
was just entering manhood, being
about twenty years Of age, and en-
joyed an enviable reputation for high
moral characters He was possessed
of splendid business qualifications,
and had given the fullest satisfaction
in several positions hehad held. He
was buried in the new cemetery
on Wednesday afternoon, the funeral
services being conducted by Elder r.
Lin Cave, Of Nashville. The family
have the fullest sympathy of the en-:
tire community in their sad bereave-
ment. Death is always sad, but
dOubly so when such young men are
taken from life's arena upon the very
threshold of manhood. The griel
would be unbearable if this life was
all, but we all have a mission to per-
form in the Eternal City, and God il
his superior wisdom has seen fit tt
call some to His Celestial abode early
in years, while others are left to carry
the burdens of this life to hOary ole
age. The death of Walter Burger
leaves a sad break in the family cir
Gle, and the community loses one 0
its most promising young men.

A Crystal Wedding.

To the Standard:
The event of the week in our neigh
bOrhOOd has been the celebration of
the crystal wedding, or the fifteenth
anniversary Of the marriage of Mr..
and Mrs. James Cardwell, on Wednes-
day. A number of their friends and
neighbOrs met at their home and
spent a most enjoyable day. The
morning was spent in visiting, GRO
quet playing, etc. About one O'Clock
a splendid dinner was served, to
which, it is needless to say, all did
ample justice. l will not tantalize
you by writing out the bill of fare.
After dinner Mrs. Cardwell found
on her sitting room table a number
of presents, both useful and suitable
to the occasion. Among the number
was a linen table cloth, from Mrs
Carol Parks a tube lantern, G.. w
Parks; set of gOblets, Mrs. j. NJ
Webb, and table set of four piece:
from Mr.. and Mrs, H. Hoyt. l alsC

earnest ballot was taken, and Logan re-
ceived all the votes of the Republican
or just one short of the num-
Der necessary to elect. 1t is impossible
that he. can get that one, because no
Democrat would dare sell his party to
"Black Jack" Nor is it probable that
Morrison can get the prize, as he IS in
even a worse fix than Logan, not being
able to get the full vote OF the Demo
cratic members. 1t now appears that
only through a compromise can there
be an election, and some milk-and-
water fellow who poses as an indie
pendent will be apt to come in for
the senatorship. Fortunately, David
Davis is out of the way. He might
satisfy the Republicans as a compro-
mise, but no Democrat can support
him again. 1t is worth good deal to
get rid of Logan, even if the Demo
Gratis cannot secure the place for them
selves.
