1t should be said for the Milton dele

did not altogether relish the task they
had undertaken, and that they were not

they tried to make themselves out to be.

Edmunds; and DR., Bartlett, the leader

The Brattieboro PhTnir alludes to "a

quency of promotions Of lieutenant gov

sorry to have the fact emphasized that the
Republicans of Vermont recognize nc
such rule. The tacit understanding about
this matter, should be, and is, if we un

the holding of the office of lieutenant
governor that gives any man any claim tc
the governorship that there is nothing in
the holding of the Office of lieutenant

otherwise entitled to this honor, from

France has done a foolish thing in ex-
pelling the princes of the House of Orleans
That House has now many more friends
than it had before the decree of expulsion
was issued, and should the dissatisfaction
of the people break out in resistance to the
present republican form of government,
the Compile de Paris would have follow

rival for the sovereignty of France His

Commencement week in a college town
is one of the chief occasions of the year.
1t marks the height of social gaiety: it
reviveS local and traditional associations :
it calls together from all quarters of
the land those who have identified them
selves with the life of the institution.
And, above all these minor features of the
OCCASION commencement represents a Ger
tain serious and inspiring phase of life, in
which it is impossible not to be deeply in
terested. 1t represents, for thousands the
starting point of Il long and arduOus race
Here is enacted again the inspiring spec
tacle of company of young men and
women. who have spent years in prepar-
ing for the contest, starting out upon the
course of life There is something
of high and deep human interest in
the events, and the associations,
and the reflections which crowd such an
occasion. The same instructive sympathy
which leads the throng to press about the
starting point and the goal in contest of
physical speed invests this starting IN the
race of life with an intense significance,
that cannot be resisted. The commence
ment season should thus have a strong
hold upon even the most unitarian of us.
Of course to those for whom the occa-
sion has a more intimate Significance
those who are about to begin the work
and the battle of life--Commencement
time has its deeper, abiding lessons and in
huences. Whatever else a college gradu-
ate may forget or put away of the time
when he was preparing for life's work, he
cannot forget, he will not put away, the
memory of his graduation day. He were
other than human if that day We're not so
exalted with manly purposes and intensi-
fled with hope, that it cannot be blOtted
out of his remembrance for il is then that
for many a young man the ideal first
comes face to face with the real and hope

between the action of Gov. Robinson of

The veto Of the soldiers exemption bill
by Gov. Robinson of Massachusetts seems
to meet with the general approval of the
press of that state. The principal reasons
for his action are thus presented by Gov
Robinson
The proposed bill, he says, is not needed
to express re gratitude of Massachusetts
for patriotism and sacrifice. That record
is unmistakabie. The proposed bill, in
stead of conterrng Il benefit upon the real
veteran, would be an instrument of wrong
to him in the hands of INSCRIPTIONS and
dishonest men.
Facts have been brought to my kuowl-
edge which assure me that spol-men are
waiting in hope that this bill may become
law and their unworthy schemes then
become possible

Gent reasons.

FAST FRUIT TRAINS FROM CALIFORNIA
EASTWARDS.

"A special committee appointed by
the Sacramento Horticultural Con-
vention waited upon General Mana
ger A. n. Towne, for the purpose
of securing reduced freight rates on
Eastern shipments. The committee
desired to secure the following
terms: Passenger-train time to
New York, Philadelphia and Boston,
$500 car; passenger-tran time to
Chicago, $500 car; slow freight to
Chicago, 5000 car; that ten cars
hereafter comprise $500 fruit
train. The present rates charged
by the company are: Passenger
time to New York, $500; slow
freight, $500; passenger time 10
Chicago, 5000; slow freight, $500.
After long discussion Mr.. Towne
intimated that the reduction asked
for was out of the question, as ii
would be impossible to make terms
with Eastern lines that would allow
such radical cut. He minated,
however, that he was willing to at
tach fruit cars to regular passenger
trains as far as Chicago for 5000 a
car, or to carry freight for $3.50 n
car. The whole matter was taken
under advisement.- Alta.

A new cure for consumption has
been originated by n Teutonic doc
tor. He makes his patients pass
the night in the open air of the
Thuringian forest, well wrapped up,
and sleeping in light hammocks so
as to avoid all damp from the
ground. A Waterman keeps off
any intruders who might disturb the
nights rest, and hitherto the expe-
riments have proven wonderfully
successfully.
"Grape cure" is practiced in
France and Germany in the autumn,
and is regarded as a cure for many
diseases due to high feeding. The
patient Is given pound of grapes
to eat the first day. This amount is
added to until the person can eat
five or six pounds day. The other
food is gradually lessened, and the
diet at last consists entirely of
grapes. 1t cures obesity and many
other complaints, aud starts the per-
son off on a new lease of life. Fruit
is necessity in rational diet, and
of immense value in dietetic me-
