The Two Bands, at Montpelier.


After the concerti in the Capitol grounds,

ing Apelles splendid march, Clover Light
Intantry.' The great band numbered
forty -scvcn pieces. The Instrumentation

clarincts, one basSoOn, nine comets, seV-
en- altos, two tenOrs. five trOmbOnCS, two
euphoulums. four f. HAT tubas four drums
and two pairs of cymbals. Never before
was such music heard on our streets. Mr..
Sherman, the efficient and genllemanly
leader of the splendid organization which

The adoption in Ohio. last Tuesday, OF
the constitutional amendment changing
the time of holdin- the State election
from October to November, transfers the
last of the October States to the succeed
ing month. There are strong reasons
why all the States should hold their cleo
ton of State officers at the same time.
When the four great States of Pcnnsyl-
Vania, Ohio, Indiana aud Iowa voted in
October, the effect OF the results in those
States in the National election in Novem-
Der was such, that an uuWholesomc con
sequence was attached to their cleo
tons. and money and labor We're eX-
pended ON them in II very demOraliz-
ing way. The National campaign was
almost concentrated in those States.
Hereafter the country will not need
to wait, in the Presidential years, for the
verdict of Indiana and Ohio before it de
termnes how it will 90, and the venal
voters in those States who have hereto
fore sold their suifrages will no longer be
bought up by funds supplied by National
committees. The change is in the direc-
ton of greater purity and independence
in the State and National election. The
vote of Vermont is of less consequence, for
everybody knows how Vermont will 90, yet
even here, we feel, every fourth year, the
stimulus, not always Wholesome, of the
National struggle on our State election. 1t
would save time, money and trouble, if
we voted for State officers and for Presi-
dent OH the same day and we trust that
our State constitution viii be amended, at
the first opportunity, 50 as to do away
with our September elections, and make

The Indian and the Ballot.


The recent conference at Lake MohonN,
in behalf OF the Indian population OF
tins country, might have been expected
to demand the immediate cniranchlse'
ment OF the Indian; nut 1t dld not. The
wisdom of reserVlng the ballot rs reward
for the attainment by the Indian OF the
qualifications requisite to the intelligent
exercise of this highest prerogative of citi-
zenship was evident To The majority of the
conference. 1t is PLAIN that it would
be both dangerous and useless to
entrust the ballot to the average
Indian of tie present time. 1t would
probably be well ii every state had a law
like that of Massachusetts, Withholding

Such decided and emphatic expression

The man upon whom the Indignation

to be the man at whose bidding the frauds
were committed and who furnished the
money for carrying them out. His help

TO NVALASCENTS

After a severe attack of disease, it does
not matter of what type, The constitution
is lett in an enteebled and enervated CON
dition.
THE PATIENT FEELS DE
PRESSED AND LANGUiD.
The least attempt at exercise tires him
and produces unaccustomcd pains and
aches.
THE REASON for this is that the
tissues - the muscles - have been wasted
by disease The giunds and organs have

to assimilate the food that the system re
qui'es to build it up.

A locomotive cab in winter Is dreary
place. 1t is bad in daytime>,-but on a
winter night, when the snow flies fast,
the locomotive alb is goottr place to
keep out of. Even in the day it. is i'm
possible to see anything if snowstorm
prevails The rails run right up into tue
air. Nothing can bc seen ahead but a
jumping-oif pace. The windows are
frozen up or covered with snow, an
from innumerable cracks and creyices
around the Aoor where it joins the boiler
come draughts that bite and sting. The
engine caws like crow-haugh, hangh,
now fast now slow, according as the
drifts cover the track or uncover it for
brief space. and when it strikes drift
it throws the snow in binding clouds
all over itself, just as the spray flies
over vessel shipping sea he ira
is rough, for the frost has disturbed It,
and the engine lurc..es ahead, staggcr-
ing to and iro like drunken man.
there are few more impressive spec
taclcs IN this world than a powerful To-
comotive laborng through heavy
snowstorm. 10 tie observer beside the
track it looms up through the gloom
tremendous and awful. The. locOmo-
tive seems the embodiment Of the Leath
Angel, moving swiftly and noisclessiy.
The snow has mu oil the whir Of the
roll ng friction OF the wheels on the
rails, and the train glides by like the
unsubstantisl pageant Of dream.
With its black breath, its snorts of fire,
!. its hoarse voice, it is truly Apollyon,
the destroying angel, and the man
must be unlmpressiblo indeed who does
not feel q thrill at its advent.
