discharged some of their men avowedly be-
cause of their being Knights of Labor, has
caused rumor to be circulated that there

area sown. Early sown on bottom lands

A Church Singer.

One or the most successful women in
New York city il the soprano OF q church
choir uptown. She receives a salary of
about $500 year, and has so ingratiated
herself into the feelings Of her regular
audience as to cccure all the pupils she
desires on very remuneTative terms. Tho
ladies of tho congregation invite her to
sing at private receptions, and often Fay
literally for Ecr services and, when she
announces her annual public concert, in.
terest themselves in selling tickci for Lcr,
The Oratorio and Philharmonic societies
sometimes ask her to sing ct their concerts.
She is living in much comfort, and is lay
ing up money. But rell-known church
organist of long experience declares that
her case is exceptional. While admiring
her natural gifts-cspccially her clever
ness in getting the tenor OF the choir to
roll his eyes in wonder and look at her
face when she is singing solo in tones 50
soft and low that hiss object seems to be
to ascertain whether she has not ceased
altogether, although the congregation can
hear her perfectly-ho is convinced, after
exttn i've observation, that the usual lot
of the woman OF fair average ability who
tries TO cam living by singing is net
happy one. "She is subjected 10 endless
mort illcations in the search for engage
lnents; 10 one of her engagements is PER-
manent; and when her voice becomes I'M
paired and her beauty decays, she is likely
to be worse off than most of her compcJ-
tiers in the struggle for existence"

Two new processes in illustrating
Juvenile Books have been adopted
this year by the Worthington Com
pany of New York. One is seen in
WortbmgtonS annual and the other in
"FrOm Meadal0 Street to Mialetoe." The
annual is printed in alternate tints. 1t
is the first book ever so printed, and
Il patent has. been applied for. The
effect is universally commended. From
Mcad0ao Slceet to Mjstletoe is illustrated
by the photographic pro-
cess, and is also the first book ever
printed in this way, the photogravure
process having heretofore been only
applied to costly works, such as the
Vanderbilt and Meissonier galleries,
etc. These two processes, as applied
by this publishing house at an i'm
mense expense, certainly are entitled
to warmest praise, and the new and
beautiful books thus embellished
should command large sales. They
are, indeed, q marvel of cheapness
when the: character of the work is
taken into account.

BY special invitation we were permitted
TO witness q novel experiment one after
roon recently, which was intended to test
the efficacy of dynamite bombs in the cap
ture of fish III deep water. The objective
point was found to be hole about twenty
five feet deep in the upper end of the blight,
where the fish are known to congregato
in large numbers, Arriving ct the spot
cartridge about six inches long, charged
with dynamite, to which had been attached
heavy piece Of iron in order to make it
go to the bottom. A suspense of few
seconds cnsued, and then faint report
like the discharge of u small pistol was
heard, the water became agitated and was
raised about two feet, and Immediately
thereafter. within radius Of about sixty
feet, the fish was strewn in all directions.
A scene of the widest excitement followed.

and over 1000 fish of different varieties

Senator Valentine, who intro
duced the license bill in the senate,
writes to the Bennington Banner as
follows: A." / have no dispute with
any one who favors practical prohi-
bitioD. l have always been prohibi
zionist, and am now, with this quail
fication-that in our beautiful viii
lage | would rather be obliged to
endure two sellers of spirituous liq-
uors at $500 each than fifty who
pay nothing. 1t is not reasonable
: to me that two will sell as much as
fifty. | am not in favor of free
rum under the guise of prohibition.
The way for us to show that we
need no change is to enforce the
present law. Failing in this, let us
try something else. Practical tenn
perance is what we need--temper-
ance shown by works rather than
theories. A law of practical prohi-
bition like the Nebraska law, en-
forced as it is there, is better than
prohlbitory laws which do not pro-
hibit. There is no doubt but that
the greater part of temperance
workers whose attention have been
called TO the subject, honestly be.
lieve that the Nebraska law (Which
all should ready is more in the in,
terest of temperance than our unen.
forced prohibitory law. This feel
ing prevailed with our Legislators,
both of the house and senate, who
were among the most earnest Of
our temperance men. The bill
in the Senate was introduced
by the advice of number of
temperance workers. In this con
ilectlon the fact should not be lost
sight Of that the bill provided for it
submission to the people, as it was
done thirty years ago when thu
present law was adopted. At th'
polls, it is safe to say, would bt
found working together for its de
feat the rum-seller and the theoreti

pressed because:

tention of the people being calle'
to the subject, greater effort would b
made to enforce our present law, an
possibly with such success that W

A Weather bureau for Vermont.

The United States authorities
have decided to extend the Govern
ment Signal Service system into
this State, and Norwich University
at Mortified has been selected as
the location of the new station. The
signal station will be established at
once, and Prof. Henry J. Cox has
been detailed to take charge of the
observatory. The observations will
be telegraphed to Washington at 7
a. M, 8 and 10 o'clock p. M, each
day. Local weather signals will be
displayed from the university daily.
Northfeld is near the geographical
centre of the State and occupies
quite an elevated position among
the Green Mountains, and the loca
