Maine Pedagogical Society.

To the Editor of the CaledOnian:
The Maine Pedagogical Society will
hold its next meeting in conjunction
with the American Institute of In
struction at Bar Harbor, July 6-I0.
| wish in behalf of the Maine PedagO-
gical society to extend cordial invi-
tatiOn to the teachers of Vermont to
be present on that occasion.
1t will be seen by the circulars of
the American Institute, soon to be
published, that the officers of that So
ciety have prepared IA most attractive
programme of literary exercises for
the meeting.
The railroad and hotel fares secured
for teachers attending are unusually
favorable. The opportunity for the
teachers of Vermont to visit at mOder-
ate expense Bar HarbOr, one of the
most attractive sea-shOre resorts, and
on the way to enjoy the White Noun
tain scenery, is rare one, and we
hope they will give the Maine teachers
the pleasure of their presence. In the
early future we expect to have the
pleasure of returning the compliment
by attending an annual meeting of the
American Institute in one of the beau
tiful towns of Vermont.

VIVA. a spectacle for Republicans.

How much more do the republicans
of Vermont need to know about the at
tempt to retire Mr.. Edmunds to pri-
vate life than that Hiram Atkins Is
presenting to tell them, with shout
and a hurrah-with veritable old
rebel yell, more nearly-that "The
question is a momentous one: the is
sue is vital to the salvation of the re-
publican party Life and death are in
it! Wake upl Wake up" We have
made no mistake about this. We are
telling the thing exactly as it is. The
above paragraph is copied verbatim
from Hiram Atkins Argus of this
week. Warren Gibbs of the Messen-
ger and Hiram Atkins of the Argus
take their cue each from the other.
Both are saying the same thing in al
most the same words. What a spec
tacle for honest-minded, self-respect-
ing Vermont republicans to look upon!

His One Desire .

A gentleman said to a hopeless
drunkard, whom he had once known
as a bright and promising young man
"Why don't you quit this lifeP Don't
you sec that you are running your fam
lily; that you have lost your social pO-
sition, your property, your health, and
that you are going down to n drunk
ards grave 2" This is the answer that
he got: ''Do you think you have told
me anything newq Do you suppose
there is anything in domestic happi-
ness or social position or health even
that have not thought of hundred
times to your once, or that | do not
know the value of as we'll as yen do
/ have had these things held up TO me
and held them up myself hundreds of
times. | have got them by heart.
But they have ceased to mean anything

fort is, but | don't want it. l don't

respect of my fellow-men. | don't
want money. | don't want health.

want and when You offer me all these
other things you do not tempt me

tuition to remark : "What can sue

possibility of getting the stuff for
which the drunkard thirsts.'

Ormsbee on Edmunds.

He is Outspoken for Edmunds, and
has been from the first of the discus
sion. He says he thinks it would be a
monumental blunder for Vermont to
refuse to return him. If he were to
die or decline a reelection, either of
the several gentlemen most prominent
ly named to succeed him might worth
lily fill the place, in some respects per-
haps better than he does, but not one
could go to the head for long ii me or
expect to become so useful and influ-
entail in legislation as he is. To re-
call him for ne serious fault in his SEN
atOrial service, but merely because he
failed to take an active part in a po-
litical campaign, would be for Yer
mont to belittle herself and belle her
boosted regard for self-respecting man
hood and freedom of thought and ac-
ton. And for republicans to strike
him down, because he failed to strike
for their candidate on one occasion out
of many, may occur to some as a
course not likely to promote party har-
mOny and success in the future Rut-
land Herald.

went to Washington recently, he car
ried with him the petition of a demo-
cratic friend to be appointed postmas-

ed at the petition and found only three
names on it. he said "Why, Smalley,
really this won't do you know. l can't
do this thing on three names. You
must have a more general representa-
ton of the democrats of the town. /
am willing enough to appoint your
man, but You must get more demo-

She Rugged Him.

The Boston Globe says: "Alice, the
elephant recently brought by Barnum
to this country, is an unusually intel
ligent animal. While Newman the
trainer, was taking out heavy screw
that fastened upon one of her ankles a
big iron band, put on in London to
chain her by, she took him up four
times with her trunk and threw him
away from her, not angrily, or with
any intent to hurt him: but simply to
make him understand that she was an
noyed by him. He persisted, however,
and when finally the band fell off she
cOmprehended what he was about. At
ter swinging her foot to see that it
was really free, she put her trunk
about Newman, drew him to her, and
Rugged him."
