State Secession.

Vermont was admitted into the Union in
1871. Its territory was considered part of
New York before the revolution. Acting in
the spirit of the revolutionary times, it's peo-
pie declared themselves free state in TIT,
and independent of New York, and petitioned
congress for admission into the Union. AL
though congress was willing to sustain re-
bellion by the colonies against the mother
country, it did not relish its exercise against
one of the members of the Confederacy. The
petition of Vermont was therefore refused.
The controversy remained unsettled until it
was arranged by payment to New York of
$50 OOO

A President Painted Out.

When Carpenter painted the picture of the
deathbed of Lincoln the figure of Andrew
johnson was one Of those gathered about the
couch, and this was as it should be- because
he was really there with the members of the
cabinet and others. Before the picture was
quite completed, however, the feeling in the
north had grown so bitter against johnson
that the artist feared lest the popularity Of
the picture would be injured by the appear
ance in it of the then chief executive. He,
therefore, erased President johnson and in
serted Schuyler Colfax in his stead, although
Colfax was not really present at the death Of
Lincoln

The word "boodle" is thought to be derived
from the English word "battel," a bunch or
bundle of straw. The word is in common
use in the eastern states in the sense of the
whole lot, as 1.-THE Doodle of them," and from
this usage has got to mean the whole pile or
