from the mouth Of the cannon. In one
part of the field you see the Christian
brothers and sisters of charity attending
the dead and wounded. Look a little
further and you will see the Prussians
and the French engaged in battle. The
French have despair depicted on every
face, for there they are fighting and star
wing, all the provisions in Paris having
given out and no means of getting more.
1t is certainly one ofthe grandest optical
illusions have ever seen. I do not
think visit to the Exposition would be
complete without seeing the "Siege of
Paris. - azuH5s#
Last night the streets were thronged
with people going in every direction to
witness the grand pyrotechnics that were
being sent up in honorof the opening up,
to-day, of our grand Exposition. The
streets reminded one more of Mdydi
Gyas than anything else, the city being
one blaze of light. All the clubs and
stores seemed to vie with each other in
Illuminating. Standing in the middle Of
Canal Street and looking up and down
as far as the eye can reach, you see hun
dreds of colored lights, Chinese lanterns,
myriads of sky rockets and bombs. Some
of the bombs contained passes to the Ex-
position, and anyone being fortunate
enough to secure one could use it all
through the season. When the bombs
were Seut off the yells and screams that
arose from the small boy in the street, as
he tnsseled and scrambled for the much
coveted prize, were deafening in the ex-
IRENE.
The Exposition opened today under
the most favorable auspices, the day be-
ing so bright and beautiful that the peo-
pie seemed to turn out en- masse, judg-
ing by the numbers that thronged the
buildings and grounds. AT eleven
o'clock punctually, cannon was fired
and the feet left the foot of Canal Street
enroute for the Exposition grounds.
The order of embarkation was as fol-
lows First the military escort, and
Knights of Pythias, Board of Manage
ment and officers of the Exposition,

Governors of other states, mem

The Smith Gang.

Some one recently called the atten-
ton of Col. Hooker to the barking be-
ing done by few at Senator Edmunds,
when he said: ~ know many believe
he threw the election, but at the meet
ing of the legislature every member
will be mad to think his name don't
commence with "a so he can be the
first to vote for hin. Bur. Clipper.
If the colonel intends to run for town
representative next year. he will have
to 90 even farther than this and prom
Use definitely that if elected he will
vote for Edmunds when the CHS" are
reached. There is general impression
here that the local Republican politi-
clans are linked in with the Smith gang,
and the one thing which the voters pur-
pose to keep in mind is that the politi-
clans shall not get into any place where
they can misrepresent them by doing
the rings work.-Reformer.
If Brattleboro has no better timber,
among Republicans, than politicians
''linkcd in with the Smith gang" we
hope the voters will return DR.. Con-
land, next fall. Bnt we do not believe
but Brattleboro has Republicans, who
would make fit representatives: that are
not '1inked in with the Smith gang
but own themselves. If not, then Brat
tleboro is a God forsaken place, for
it is certain that some of her Demo

Mail Robbery at Rutland.

Last Thursday ID. c. Pierce, a pos
tai clerk stationed at the Rutland depot
and having charge of mail pouches, re-
ceiving and delivering the same from.
and to different trains, was arrested by
post-office Inspector Adsit, charged
with stealing letters containing money.
He readily proved an abb and on Sat
urday morning was released; immedi-
ately after his son Henry, IS years old
was arrested and confessed the crime.
Young Pierce did his stealing while
attending to the duties of the position
at times when his father was away, and
the period of the thefts extended from
the first OF March to the Sd of August.
A large number of letters were taken
and considerable amount of money.
The Pierce family is one of high respec-
liability and the disgrace is felt very
keenly by them. The young fellow is
large, under 1000 dollar bonds.

My son, you say it is so hard to be
good ?" You say it is easier to break all
of the Ten Commandments than 1t is to
keep one Of them. Well, you mistake.
1t isn't hard to DC good. It's hard to be
bad. Not right at the time? oh, no!
The wine is sparkling. the songs are
stirring, the stories are trimming with
humor and the air is full of laughter.
You are Just us bad rs you know how to
be, and it's lots of fun TO be bad, and You
never want to be good-oh, yes, 1t seems
TO be very easy and very delightful to be
bad at night, But the next morning, my
boy? Where is the difficulty then? Who
feels serious then? Whose head can't
be covered with n tub. Who Is afraid
and ashamed TO 90 ont on the street and
meet people? Who doesn't want to sec
anybody Who wants to hide? Who
wonders where he was last night, and
whom he met, and who saw him, and
how he did? Not the boy who went to
the sociahle and ate cast iron pul,nI cake
and washed it down with faded lemonade.
Not the yeung man who passed the even
ing in the company OF the good, goody
at the debating society. All, mo, he didn, t
hear the r0liCking songs shat yGu heard,
my boy, and he didn't hear the racy stories
that "brohc you all mp"
But he is feeling much better than you
are this morning He finds it very easy
to be good; " very easy indeed. But to

independence in Thought and Action.

In the last presidential campaign the
st. Johnsbury Caledonian, although a
Republican Journal. refused to support
Blaine. This raised great hue and cry
among the 'faithful" politicians, whose
bread and butter, and free pass DEEPEN
dcd, not upon Independent thought and
action, but rather in keeping the people
in taut leading strings, in complete sub
serviency to political wire pullcrs, and
ready to obey the behests of party mai
agement and ring manipulations.
This ''hue and cry" eliminated in a
practical effort to crush the offending
Caledonian, and to teach its editor, and
all others, who might be disposed TO
"kick over the traces" that there is a
God in the, self-constitutcd, Republic
can Israel of Vermont.
Money was raised, money i'll album
dance. Presses and printing material,
of the best, were bought, talented cd
itor secured, and the "St. Johnsbury
Republican" was launched upon the
troubled waters of Caledonia county,
and the crushing process began.
Well, several months have elapsed
since the lastly got up bluc-bloodod
Republican made its appearance. And
is the Caledonian crushed? Not much
On the contrary its subscription list is
