Mr.. Atkins is greatly disturbed this week
because Superintendent Bigelow Of the New
England railway mail service has "put back
into the service" in the north part of the
state, Long" Davis, who formerly ran be-
tween White River Junction and Springfield,
but was removed to make way for Demo-
crat. 'Tt does seem hard" walls the boss,
''for some men to realize that the Democrats
carried the election in 1884, and one of those
who seem most obtuse on this point is Mr..
Bigelow. Perhaps be may yet learn that
when the Postmaster General removes a man
from the service, he had better not put him
back into it," Which means that lit does
seem hard" to Mr.. Atkins to be compelled to
look on and see that his rule is not absolutely
and irrevocably supreme over every thing
which pertains to the Federal patronage in
Vermont. Perhaps he may yet learn" that
he is nobody but Hiram Atkins, and only
would-be boss after all.

1t is impossible to avoid the conviction that
the Canadian government has made mistake
in yielding to the implaoable desire of part
of the people of the Dominion for the blood
of the rebel Riel. He was doubtless properly
convicted Of treason after fair trial. The
fact of his guilt was patent aud easily prov
ed. But there we're two considerations
which should have prevented his death.
There was reasonable doubt of his sanity, and
and there we're serious grievances against
which he undertook to bring to bear the
weight of organized rebellion. These unavail-
ing arguments for mercy will be remem bered
against the government when the bloodshad
which Riel occasoned will no longer inspire
the hatred which clamored for his life. The
triple antipathies of race, religion and politics
which his execution stirs up will endure far
beyond the bitterness aroused by the revolt
and its accompanying atrocities which he in.
spired and led on.

EE-Ohief Justice Vincent of New Mexico
is out with letter OF self-defence, in which
he makes strong showing for himself as
against the action of the President. He was
summarily suspended from office without a
knowledge Of any charges against him, and
no reply was made to his kilograms asking
for information and hearing. His sole Of
fence, so far az appears, was that he appoint
ed Mr.. Dorsey as a commissioner to assist in
selecting iuries to act in local cases before a
county court, but without any jurisdiction i'll
land cases. The man who made the charge
against Vincent and procured his removal
is brother in-law of a convicted murderer in
New Mexico, who had good personal reasons
for not liking Vincent. The President seems
to have acted in this case impulsively and
without consideration of the right which Vim
cent, as an accused man, had to a presenta-
ton Of his case.

Uses OF Arctic exploration.
[Harper's Mag azine. /

In 800 years there have been some 200
arctic voyages, for various purposes and
with various fates. The Greedy eXpedi.
ton was but one of thirteen expedi-
lions. Five hundred men passed two win
ters within the polar circle, and nineteen
of them only were lost. And Lieut. hay
says that the result of the observations of
all these expeditions will be the doubling
Of the worlds knowledge of the magnetic
forces. That is to say. as the Rev. Brooke
Herford states in his admirable sermon

Is this worth nothing? Is not the risk,
the loss even, amply recompensed? But
also. as Mr. Hen. ord points out the moral
qualities, the patience, the courage. the
s0lfdenial, the faith, the endurance,
developed by these northern researches,
are Incompatible. There is simply no
other chapter in the history of human

Washineton,s Dinner Panty.


a writer in The Magazine of American
History for September gives the following
letter from Washington, at West Point in
1873. to DR.. John Cochran. describing a
dinner party which the commander in
Eended to give:
WEST PoINT, Aug Is, 1779.-DEAR

Mrs. Livingstone to dine with me tO-mor-
row; but ought not to apprise you of
their fare? AS / hate deception, even

at is needless to promise tina. my table Is
large enou b to hold the ladies-of this
they had ocular demonstration yesterday.
To say how it is usually covered is rather
more essential. and this shall be the pur-
port of ny letter.
~Since my arrival at this happy spot, we
have had a ham, sometimes q shoulder of
bacon, to grace the head of the table A
piece of roast beef adoTns the foot, and q
small dish of green beans-almost imper-
cep tible-decorates the center. When the
cook has mind to cut figure, and this
presume he will attempt tomorrow, we
have two beefsteak-pies. or dishes of crabs
in addition. one on each side of the Gen.
ter-dish, dividing the space, and reducing
the distance between dish and dish to
about six feet, which, without them,
would be nearly twelve apart. Of late he
has had the surprising luck t. discover
that apples will make pies; and it is a
question If. amidst the violence of his eff
forts. we do not get one of apples instead
of having both of beef.
If the ladies can put up with such en-.
sertainment, and submit to partake of it
on plates once tin. but now iron. not be-
come so by the labors of hard securing,
shall be happy to see tn, M. Dear sir,
yours, GEORGE WASHINGTON.
