A DISPATCH from Burlington announces
the death of General George j. Stannard in
Washington, after a short illness of pneu-
monia, aged sixty-six years. General STAN
nard will be remembered as a brave and
efficient commander of Vermont troops in
the war for the Union. He was for several

or five years he had been one of the door,

cises were held. These consisted of selec-
tions by the band, prayer by Rev. j. e.
Wright, the grafton by Colonel j. II. Lucia
and the regular form Of memorial service by
members of the Post and Relief Corps.
Colonel Lucia's address was quite lengthy
but was OF much interest and was listened
to with attention by the large gathering.
We regret that we have no space except for
a mere outline. A great part was devoted
to review OF the causes and opening events
of the war, and this was followed by a
graphic description of a battle scene. After
a tribute to Lincoln and the great generals
of the war, the speaker said: There is
one element upon which we particularly
rely for the security and preservation of our
land, should she again be assailed by either
foreign or domestic foe. l mean the pres
ent growing generation of young men and
boys-the Sons of Veterans. They cannot
afford to prove recreant to the trust that is
fast coming into their keeping. The MEM
ory of their fathers now growing old, and
in the fast-shifting scenes of life going off
the stage, of how they stood as bulwarks
for the nations defence in her great peril,
mustinspire them to be, like them, true men.
And when the last of the veterans shall
pass away the honor and safety of the peo-
Pile will be transmitted to their keeping
And could we trust to better hands the old
flag, emblem of our patriotism and devo-
tion?"

Grand Army Excursion to
California.

There seems to be considerable dissatis.
faction and disappointment among the mem.
bers of the Grand Army of the Republic in
relation to the price of getting to the ma
tional encampment at San Francisco. AT
the encampment held at Portland, Maine
last year, it was given out that the fare for
the round trip would not exceed $50 from
Chicago, and perhaps from New York and
Boston, and now the lowest offer is $3.50
Although this is very reasonable price, il
is so much above what was at first intimated
that it will keep three-fourths of those a,
home who had intended to go, and many
are feeling much disappointed. While q
ticket out can now be purchased for $35
old soldiers in this vicinity feel that no par
ticular favor is being shown by the rail
roads to the Grand Army of the Republic.

Monday, the boys think, the laugh came the
other way. Having been at work in a field

much trouble on his return TO go up round

The Paris Cate.

The Paris cafe is losing ground.
There are, TO be sure, as many estab-
lishments of rejection on the boule-
wards as ever. and most of the old-time
places are still in existence. but their
character is changing, and whilo they
have not already become brasseries,
or beer shops, the perverted taste of
their customers is slowly but surely
bringing about the dreaded transform
alton. The Figaro printed some statis-
tics month ago showing that in 1885
only one half as much wine was drunk
in France as in 1886. fancy that this
estimate may be excessive, but the fact
remains that in Paris, at any rate, the
consumption of Germany's amber
fluid has increased enormously. Twen-
ty years back the spectacle of a Paris
ian patr sang seated at table on the
boulevard and holding converse with
a chope would have gathered a crowd.
Now the frequenters of cafes, from the
most stylish to the humblest, call for
little else, and nothing is lacking but
an array of squares of felt on the mar
bic and an occasional porcelain -bowled
pipe to suggest to the looker-on that a
fragment of Berlin or Vienna has been
planted by magic in the heart of the
brightest and liyeliest of the world S
great cities.-NcW York World.

English, Irish, and Scotch.

Looking at the population of the
three Kingdoms, it may easily be per-
ceived that there is considerable differ
ence among them as to temperament
The Irish are gay, ardent; the Scotch
are comparatively cool, steady, and
cautious; the English are perhaps
fair average between the two. We
remember that it was not inclegantly
observed by friend that an English
man thinks and speaks; and an Irish
man speaks before he thinks. A lady
present observed: "a Scotchman
thinks with his head an Irishman with
his heart. This allusion to impulse
operating more rapidly than delibera-
ton is kin to Miss Edgarworth's re-
mark that an Irishman may err with
his head, never with his heart, one
truth, however. being that he obeys his
heart. not always waiting for the die
tates of his head. Some years ago
there was a caricature very graphically

A Critic Weepin o.

jeffrey had the reputation of q Sc
we're critic, yet he insisted that his ma
.iural foible was to admire and to be
pleased too easily. But one often
finds in the seyerest of critics, when he
comes to know him, the best-natured
and most affectionate ct men. jeffrey
could s'cut up'' an authors book, and,
when occasion opened. serve him with
his purse and influence.
When he iourneyed from Edinburgh
to London, to take his seat in parlia-
ment, he took with him, besides his
wife and daughter, Poor Poll, - a gray,
wise parrott, and Witch" a little
dog. His friends bantered him on his
carrying in the carriage a soft travel
ing-basket for the dog and a large cage
for the bird.
One day. lady, whose intimacy in
the family gave her the freedom of the
house, opened the library-door to see
if jeffrey was there. She saw him sit
ting in a char, with his head on the
liable, soobing as child. She was
abopt to retire. thinking she had not
been seen. when jeffrey. beckoning her
to 2 seat, said;
Don't go. my friend; ! shall be all

Scenes in Ireland

A Glasgow correspondent, writing to
The Cleveland Leader, says: The coun-
try scenes all over Ireland are far diff
ferent from those of America. The
people have a strong brogue, and
though those of the cities dress the
same as we do, out in the country dis

old Irish prints. In the cities, at the
railroad stations, and in the hotels there
is great display of brass buttons and
gaudy liveries. The railroad men all
wear bright colors and the porters
have caps with scarlet bound about
them. while their usual suit is a yellow
velveteen. The guards or the conduc-
tors of the trains are dressed in blue and
many buttons, and the government Of

The British soldiers are another set Of
uniformed men whom you will find
everywhere in Ireland. They wear
gaudy red uniforms, and the cavalry
gallop through the streets of the cities
amid the scowls and curses of the Irish.
South and central Ireland has no love
for England. The American flag is

flag of Great Britain. and in the many

Americans Abroad.

American ladies make their way into
society more easily in London than
they do in Paris How it is done I
have already explained. The London
clubs. however, are more exclusive than
the dlawing-rooms, and the feeling
prevails among American visitors to
our capitol that they have been shabbily
treated in this respect. The husbands
and brothers of some of the bellies
A',tersca,aies of the season complain
that while the women have been favor
ed, the men have received the cold
shoulder in the club band BY the laws
of some of our clubs the. number of
honorary members is restricted, whereas
tits the general rule in the clubs in all
the principal cities of the United States
that the club is always free to add TO
the honorary members, and the Ameri-
can newspapers are suggesting repri-
sails. Visitors from the other side of
the Atlantic have increased abundantly
during the last two or three years-to
such an extent. indeed, thatrit surprises
me that somebody has not already
started afirst-rate American club in our
metropolis. London Truth.

Graham had lost her baby. Aunty
Bowen baked biscuit, made coffee and

things on the Goals drawn out upon the

boots. Aunty Bowen was STOPPING be-

had hidden somewhere. .-.
Before the fire, Mig" the well-be-
haved puss, black as jet, listened to the
singing of the tea-kettle, and sang his
own little song in catty, purry fash

in the pockets, and little punches of

Uncle Bowen laughed loud and long.
Roy hung his head, ashamed to look up

Carp Culture.

worth So. 10o.' y
The estimate as to the number of carp
that can be raised on an acre of ground
covered by4a certain amount of water
may be accurate to the smallest ..carp
minnow," but the value of the fish is
over estimated by about S1,575.
We used to be an enthusiastic adyo.
cate OF carp culture, until we accepted
and invitation to a carp dinner with
the State Fish Commissioner at Austin.
We were given fried carp first. There
We're several of us at the table and we
all went to work in business like man
ner, but after each of us had tasted a
piece of the fish, strike was at once
inaugurated and the foreman Capt.
Lubbock was notified that we had con-
cluded to Walk OUT We were finally
pursuaded to remain and discuss mat
ters over some "Chateau Bouliac" and
some common everyday catfish. After
we got settled down to business, Cap
tain Lubbock explained that there had
been mistake made in cooking the
carp. He said that the restaurant cook
was Irish, through and through, while
carp, being of German descent, should
be cooked in the Teutonic language.
We accepted the explanation, and a
new invitation to try some Clutch"
carp, done brown by aGerman who had
cooked carp in their native country.
In fac. the German was so familiar with
the carp's ancestors, that Capt. Lub-
book afterwards told us that he had to
make IN embankment around the Gov
ernment fish pond to keep all the carp
from coming to town to see this particu
lar Dutch cook.
With these inducements before us we
promised to be promptly on hand next
day at noon. Noon came, so did the
party OF the previous day, as per prom
Use. The Dutch cook and foreign fish
filed their part of the engagement.
The cook looked natural, but if the dish
which he bore contained government
protege, Capt. Lubbock must introduce
us again.
The dish was deep one, the top en-
bellished with scented herbs and lemon.
Beneath was a semi-liquid substance
similar to the water used by Dallas for
drinking purposes; at the bottom was
the carp.
This then was the proper way to
cook carp to make it palatable. We
ate of it, pronounced it good" When
we said good we hesitated, and tried
to think of some other word, not quite
so expressive, but which would please
the tish-commissioner as well.
Carp are better than no fish at all,
but if we had a pond and wanted to
raise fish, we would commence on trout
if the pond was suitable, if not, we'd
hold out inducements to the old re-
liable catfish and we would never put
carp in it until the catfish had positive
ly refused to inhabit it and multiply on

 c, H. Oury urged thorough organiza- ton ofthe party, in which respect he said the republicans had always been ahead of them.
 Judge Berry said that Cochise was or ganzed, but nothing had yet been done toward recognizing for the coming cam paign that work would commence as soon as considered best for the success of the party.
 Pete Bolan said the republican party was close corporation. They should nominate poor men men and not money should be the test in the selection of can ddates.
 Mir. Campbell, of Maricopa, said his county was well organized. It was the only county in the territory which gave majority for both candidates at the head of the territorial democratic ticket
 Governor Zullck made one of his yer bose speeches. He said the democracy was party of progress Gas immovable as the mountains" The territory was democratic. No man living would see the democratic party again out of power. His mission there was to raise the party out of the slough of despond. Then he went for the I3th legislature little.
 A committee was appointed and some resolutions passed declaring that the ma jority of Arzonans are democrats that democrats should stick together like brothers and not fight like cats that democratic principles are founded on eternal truth and must prevail
 The committee then went into secre> session and took up the serious business of discussing how to provide each of the faithful, on the inside, with share of the loaves and fishes.
