Expressing EaiS .',s'. igls~.

A man who's. matrimonial life had
been anything but happy in conse-
quencc Of the quarroI,ome habits Of his
wife, who thus contriyed to keep him
constantly in bot water with the neigh
bors was at last relieved Of her com.
pany by death. As the widoWcr' $
means were limited, the funeral WAS
plain, bnt respectable enough TO satisfy
any reasonable relative. The brother
Of the deceased lady, however, was not
Il reasonable man; and on the return Of
the mourners to the house he rilicuIel
the funeral, said that 1t was meal, un.
lcmonStratiyc, and 50 quiet that all the
ncighbors must have considered it mig
gardIy.
Yes, it was rather quiet, responded
the widower; "but what did YOU expect?
Did you want me To show my subm.s
sion to the decree of provi j"uce in re-
moving my late lancntci spouse by
closing the funeral with a display Of
fire works. | did think Of a cheerful
display Of some sort, but abandonel
the idea because feared tho nclsI'borS
might talk about it, and say that | was
giving too much expression to my feel
ings.'

senator Morr,Irs Health.

Senator Morrill, was in BrAttleboro over
Wednesday night, on his way home to Straf
ford. The senator left Washington on Mon
day, spent Tuesday in New York, and went
on from here Thursday morning. He was
accompanied by his wife and her sister, Miss
Swan. Several Brattleboro friends who call
ed upon him found him in good spirits and
bearing the journey well. 1t appears that
Mr. Morrill's illness was not from inhamma-
ton of the bowels, as has been generally
stated, but that 1t was instead OF dysenteric
nature, brought on by a sudden cold and ag-
gravated by work in the Senate after it began
to develop. The senator is still weak and
thin in flesh, but the disease has been over
come, and his restoration to health will I'M
doubtedly be rapid and complete in the quiet
of his summer home. Mr.. Morrill, looks for
the adjournment of Congress about Aug. LIST.

MINOR NOTES.

Under an act of Congress passed June 80
the fee on money orders not exceeding So is
now only five cents. The law took effect on
Tuesday.
Mr.. Blaine is announced to open the Rapub-
lican campaign in Maine on the 10th of next
month.
The House has passed the bill granting a
pension to Joseph Romeser over the Presi-
dents veto.
At the last meeting of the American Medi-
cal Association resolution was passed declar-
ing that cremation or incineration of the
dead has become a sanitary necessity in pop
ulous cities. The association represents the
highest sanitary intelligence of the country.
Its emphatic utterance indicates that the Gre
mationists are making great progress.
The cholera in Italy this year is character
lied by great violence but with few deaths
wherever 1t breaks out. In one town, where
there were 20 cases. there were only three
deaths. It is probable that physicians better
understand the treatment of the disease.
Philadelphia has raised SIT 900 for Grant
monument on Paramount park, and hopes to
get more before the books are closed to-day.
Municipal suffrage has now been extended
to women in Manitoba Three other Cana
dian provinces Ontario, Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick-had previously adopted the
mohbuI6.
Pension Agent T. p Cheney of Concord,
N H., who pays all the pension claims for
the New England states, also the different
pension examining boards, announces that
the appropriation is exhausted and no more
claims can be made until new appropriation
is made
Col. Fred Grant seems to have inherited
some OF his fathers pluck and determination.
He is deyoting his time and energy to paying
the debts incurred by the Grant Ward enter
prise and says he shall not be satisfied "till
every dollar lost through my advice shall be
restored to its rightful owner" Such spirit
| deserves success and will doubtless command
! it,
Gov. West OF Utah has issued proclama
ton warning the Mormons against their
pTosely ting endeavors on the ground that the
proselytes are taught to become law break
ers and also warning all we'll disposed per-
sons from associating themselves with any
persons or organization for the purpose OF
emigrating to Utah to enter into any marriage
relation other than that sanctioned by law.
The Secretary OF the Treasury on Monday
issued a call for 81 600, 900 three per cent
bonds.
Death has made many visits to Congress
since the present administration came into
power. He has been no respeoter of parties
and both sides have suffered Vice President
Hendricks and Senator Miller have passed
away from the Senate chamber, while the
House has been called upon to mourn the
loss of Representatives Rankin Evans, Dun
can, Hahn, Elwood and Cole. This ia prob
ably q longer death roll than any previous
session can show.

Gen. circuit should BE Returned.

The call is out this week for the Second
District Republican convention TO be held at
Montpelier on Wednesday, August 4, to NOM
mate successor to Gen. Grout. We have
taken occasion to speak, more than once OF
the faithfulness and ability with which Gen.
Grout has served his constituents, and, at
least until within q few days past, It has been
taken for granted that, by the unanimous
wish of the Republicans of the district, he
would be his own successor. Gen. Grout has
shown broad knowledge and clear grasp Of
public affairs, and on all questions of i'm
portance he has been on the side which has
commended him to his constituents as q man
of integrity discretion, and sound judgment
His active work and convincing argument in
behalf of the oleomArgarine bill especially
showed him an earnest and watchful friend
of the farmers. With good reason, too, for
he is himself q successful practical farmer,
who owns and carries on good farm in the
town of Kirby near st. JohnsbuTy. In at
tending to the wants of the people of the dis
triot, and looking after their business and in
teresis with the departments, Gen. Grout has
been notably prompt, cheerful and efficient,
and this fact alone has won him many friends.
Within a week, as Is stated in paragraph
copied elsewhere from the Rutland Herald,
rumors have gained currency that Col. Hook
or is making a still hunt for Gen. CIRCUITS
place. We give no more oredenee TO the re-

SEEING THE ELEPHANT.

AT DoRIs's CIRCUs-A COSTLY vIEw-swIND-
LERs MADE TO DIsGoRGR.
--Doris's circus made a very creditable
street parade on it's visit here last Saturday,
and the exhibitions afternoon and evening
gave very general satisfaction and were fairly
well attended but the swarm of swindlers,
confidence men, thimble. rggers and thieves
of high and low degree which infested il
constituted its chief claim to distinction, and
will cause it TO be held in lasting remem-
brance by many.
Among those who came from other towns
to see the show was Mr. Levi Boyden OF
Guilford, uncle of SelectmAn G. A. Boyden
of this town, and a respectable well-to-do old
gentleman of some SO summers, who was &C
companied by two or three Of his grand
children. Previous to the afternoon eXhibi.
ton, while lingering about the grounds, he
was accosted by young man Of pleasing ad-
dress and fine appearance who asked hun to
change a five dollar bill. Mr.. Boyden &C.
ceded to the request, aud WAS gradually led
into conversation, the young man introducing
himself as a son-in-lAw of Hon. B. d. Harris
of this place. At length, it being a little
tiresome standing, the two took seats at the
young mans suggestion under a convenient
side tent where there was q man stationed
who had queer little game in which people
were invited to invest by guessing at numbers.

In providing for appointment by the Pres.
ident alone he follows John Adams who held
that to be the better course. II prevents bar
gains, and checks that form Of corruption by
patronage, and II enforces the logic Of the
decision OF $50 that the Preside mt, being re.
sponsible for administration, ought to select
his own agents In fact, says Mr.. Edmunds,
the President does really appoint these officers
now and 1t ia wise for many reasons to recog
nize the fact. His second provision, however,
the rtGnaotment of the four years law, would
be fatal TO the reform he seeks. The limit Of
the term to that Of an administration invites
a clean party sweep Of the service, and by re-
tanning the poison Of craftsmanship in the
great body OF the service constantly threatens
the Limitation itself and the whole reformed
system. II congress should sanction the re-
moval OF postmRsters and collectors every
four years, the rule would be applied inevita-
bly, and ine1orably to their subordinatee. The
remaining point, removal by court OF law,
is an extraordinary proposition. Mr. Ed
munds, indeed IL correct in saying that great
wrong is done by the power of removal,
which the present law leaves unrestricted.
But this wrong is due to two causes, the very
limited range OF the reformed system, and
the fact OF the practical monopoly Of the SER
vice by one party When, however, the sys-
tenn is widely extended, and its political char
acter is equalized, the evils of arbitrary re-
moval will be no greater than in private ser
vice. Th3 scheme OF Mr. Eimunds over
looks the fact that efficiency in the service de-
ponds largely upon discipline, to which the
authority Of removal in the head OF the Office
is essential. 1t also forgets that the reasons
for removal are such az are not always readily
provable before a court, although they are
quite sufficient Moreover, removal under
Mr.. Edmunds scheme would be equivalent in

The state PrehIbI.ory Convsn.lon

Seventy five delegates were present at the
state prohibitory convention held at Burling-
ton on Wednesday. Every county but Essex
was represented. Il. NJ. ClApp, chairman OF
the state executive committee, called the con-
vention to order, and it organized by choosing
DIR. A. B. Bixby of Poultney chairman, and
Rev. G. L. Story Of st. Albans, secretary.
The nominating committee reported the fol-
lowing state ticket
Governor, Prof. H. NJ. seeley OF Middlebury.
Lieutenant Governor, W. L. Pearl Of st. Johnsbury.
Treasurer, G. W. WymGn Of Brattleboro.
Secretary Of State, @. L. Story Of Sc. Adams.
Auditor Of Accounts, Levi 8. Lewis OF Bennington,
The nominations were unanimously ratified,
and a state committee OF one from each coun-
ty was chosen-J. s. Brown OF Brattleboro
being the member for this county. This dec
lAFatiOn OF principles was adopted:
The principles OF the prohibition OF the liquor traf-
nc should be made part OF the constitution Of the
state and the nation.
Constitutional prohibition should be yitAliEed by
quor selling adequate for a crime of such enormity.
Statutory prohibition should be made operative by
eleoting prohibitionists to enforce the laws.
These ofneers should be elected by . party which
will hold failure TO enforce the prohlbitoTy law trea.
son to the principles OF prohibition.
The state committee were instructed to call
county conventions for the nomination OF
county tickets, and TO organize tho party in
those sections in which 1t Was not organized.
The committee are also to name candidates
for Congress in both districts. Hon. John b.
Finch, chairman of the national prohibitory
committee, was introduced, and addressed the
convention on the Issues Of the hour, after
which the convention adjourned.

Boyden, Herriok, and Sheriff starkey, who
had also come upon the ield, inside the tent,
and in ten minutes time the $500 was handed
over and Mr. Boyden and the sherihs walked
of.
"Unole Levi" congratulstes himself that he
Ia not without distinguished precedent IN
this little affair. embering how Charles
Francis Adams was swindled out OF SlbOO
or more by bunco men.
Several persons were defrauded OF money
In buying tickets Of the numerous scalpers
on the grounds. Usually this was done by
calling for a bill and returning the wrong
change but the experience Of George Chan
der, a railroad smploye, seems to have been
a little different. He went TO the circus With
two $50 bills in bis pocket When he step
ped up 10 buy tickets for himself and wife,
rendering a silver dollar In payment the
agent asked him II be couldn't give him
larger bill, as he had . surplus Of small
money, which he would like TO dispose OF.
MT Chandler thereupon drew out one OF his
$50 bills and received In exchange, with bis
tickets, LAS he supposedly three SOS and four
Sis. When he reached the circus tent and
went TO buy reserved seats, the same opera
ton was repeated. Everything appeared to
have been done squarely, but on arriving
home and looking over his money he found
that the supposed 50 bills were ell ones.
He is very positive In regard to the 30 marks
on them when he took them, aud thinks they
we're stamped with some ooloring substance
Of an evanesoent nature. 1t is more proba-
able, however, that here, as at other places,
the right change was first given back and then
the ticket seller, under preteXt OF making
sure it WAS right, would take it to recount il,
and then with deIterity abstract some OF
the bills or put smaller ones in their place.
A like story was told Of q man who was de-
frauded by similar trick at Ksene, when the
show exhibited there the day before, and for
whom Sheriff Starkey recovered the money
here. Profting by the examples Of the
Keene man and Mr.. Boyden, Mr.. Chandler,
accompanied by Mr.. Hit from Martin Il Ed
dy's Office followed the company 10 White
River Junction on Wednesday and recovered
the money he lost, together with his expenses.
How many victims there were who have
pocketed their losses and said nothing, we
leave il to our readers to guess.

to secure temporary quarters at the residence

N.-E ,,rsS,,,o, treaty.

A new extradtion treaty with England,
now In the hands OF the foreign affairs COM
mittee Of the Senate, is exciting much inter
est, since II lie calculated to make Canada no
longer safe place Of refuge for the forgers,
embezzlers and defaulters OF the United
States, who suddenly find a change Of air de-
sirable. II Is also designed TO prevent this
country from harboring dynamiters. In re-
ality the treaty lie simply an extension OF the
tenth article OF the treaty Of 1912, specifying
the crimes for which eItradition can be de-
manded. The offences to which the new
treaty will apply are embezzlement or larceny
above the sum Of $50, burglary, malicious
injuries to property, endangering the life OF
any person where such acts are crime by
law either In the United States or Great
Britain, and mAnslsughter. 1t is provided
that there shall be no eItradition for offences
Of q political character only, and 1t Is not
retroactive, but leaves our rAscals now In
Canada still safe from justice, and estops any
proceeding against Irish refugees now here
charged with completely in assassination or
dynamite outrages, II any such there be. II
is said that this treaty is q temporary affair
which has been hurried up by Mr.. Bayard
and President Cleveland, pending the com
petion Of negotiations TOR the fuller measure
which have been lingering along for several
years. 1t is thought that there will be no de-
lay in its ratification.
