The political lunacy of the Democracy
has at last become apparent, says an
exchange, as shown by the effort of a
correspondent of the New York Sun
who sends what is called'a political an
agram in which Cleveland and Thur
man" is made by similarity of initials to
stand for coffee and tea" while "Har-
rison and Morton" represents malt and
hops" This is endorsed by the Sun as
"homely, unpretentious and unre-
strained" with Just as much of the
priceless human faculty known as COM
mon sense as any other yet published"
This is too guarded praise. 1t should
be recognized as the champion effort OF
idiocy. Under the same logic how easy
it is to make cleveland and Thurman
represent cocktails and tanglefoot, y
while Harrison and Morton" stand for
the homely and popular "hominy and
molasses" 1t is singular how the fool.
killer is always so disgracefully negli'
gent of his duty in presidential cam
paigns.

The great mass meeting at Burlington
of the Republican clubs is a notable
event. At no time since the multitude
assemble in the Queen City to hear the
Hon, Benjamin Bristow in 1876, has
Vermont witnessed such an outpouring
Of the masses to ratify the National
nominees Of the party as today. When
a special train starts from 80 remote a
corner as Bennington with about thirty
passengers, and at Arlington takes on a
car load, at Manchester three coaches
filled, and from Rutland North the train
is divided into three heavy sections, the
aggregate people gotten together at their
destination is a multitude indeed. We
learn that from the four quarters of the
State the experience from Bennington
and Rutland was duplicated. No won

The Rev. L. P. Roe, the well known
author, died at Cornwall Friday morn
ing. Few of the later day American
novelists have acquired more wide
spread fame than Mr.. Roe, and the an
nouncement of his death will be re-
ceived with unfeigned regret by thou
sands of his readers. He was q graduate
at Williams. Studied for the ministry
at Andover and entered the army in
1862 as chaplain of the Harris Light Cav
airy serving until the war ended. He
preached until 1874 and then began the
the writings which have made him fa-
nous. His first literary attempt was
Barriers Burned Away" which
reached an edition of $4,000. Other
well known stories were "Opening of q
Chestnut Burr" He Fell in Love With
His Wife, From Jest to Earnest, "
"What Can She Do and without a
Home" Mr.. Roe possessed a strong
power of invention and of description
and had the happy knack ofso touching
upon common place life as to make it
interesting and instructive. His stor-
les, being by a clergyman, reached
many people who otherwise would
never have opened the pages of novel
and in that way extended a literary i'll
huence into new fields,

cared to tell her of the ways of society, he
feared the rocks and breakers would cause
the shipwreck of his inexperienced COM
panion. He had become blase to the noise,
the stir, the music, the flowers, the pep
fumes and the intoxication of fashionable
existence, and, believing himself possessed
of treasure, he was selfishly anxious to
keep it to himself. Then the happiness of
the pair was still further exposed to great
danger, for, all at once, the fieId who writes
anonymous letters sneaked into their house
hold. The husband began to suffer atroci
ously; despairing bitterness filed his mind !;
be became anxious, suspicious, frightened.
1t was no use for his wife to be the most
irreproachable, tender. devoted, attentive
of spouses. In ms jealousy he made his
home hell TO both of them-one of that
sort, of course, that is paved with good in
tentions, and examples of which can be
Finally, driven half mad by those secret
insinuations, and by the oft-repeated
remarks of his own family that he
had made mesalliance, he, the other
morning, out at the chateau of La Boissiere,
suddenly drew pistol from his pocket and
fired three times at his wife. She was not
hit but she fell to the floor in faint, and,
believing that he had killed her, he pointed
the pistol at himself and put a bullet in his
left breast.
The place where this tragedy occurred is
not far from Rambouillet, whence the ride
to La Boissiere is charming. The road runs
through succession of splendid forests and
well cultivated fields, with herds of deer in
the woods and pheasants in the fields. These
are the government game preserves, re-
served for the use of the president, and are
defended by high walls. The birds are so
numerous that when l went out there tlocks
of them crossed the road immediately in
front of our horses. La Boissiere get its
name from a little hamlet that fills up the
space between the park of the cheateau and
au orphan asylum, founded few years ago
by NJ. Heriot. The park is very extensive,
and in its center stands the mansion where
the drama took place, over which Parisians
have been SO much excited.

A Good Custom Going Out.
From, the PHILADELPHIA Ledger.

The old world custom of retiring from
business after a competency had been
secured, and which is yea observed abroad
was still houored in the observance here by
our own business men not so very long ago.
When a merchant had accumulated $780,
900, more or less, he was rich, and fire.
auently sought relief from the cares and
labors of active trade in retirement. Gen
orally the most trusted and respected en-
ployes of the concern became, upon easy
terms, the successors of the retiring NOM
bers. But men of active business seldom re-
tire now, and chiefly, it may be assumed,
because it is no longer possible for any ono
to acquire competency In the old, and,
as it seems to many, the better times, the
habits of living were simpler, and com
tency was determinable thing
which at present it appears not to be-
Fifty, forty, thirty years ago, the man
was accounted rich who had amassed clear
$106, 900. He could retire upon that at any
time and be assured of an income, repre-
sented by absolutely safe 6 per cent securi-
ties, of $4,000 year, which enabled him to
live in generous comfort and even luxury
A hundred thousand dollars now yields
perfectly safe income of not more than So
900 or 81 900 year. Besides that it is tho
almost universal ambition of the man who
has made a hundred thousand to make
million, and Of that one who has made
million to make five, ten or hundred mil
lions. There is practically no limit to in
dividual fortunes in these times, and until
the man of business who has the least has
made the effort to acquire as much as he
who has the most the question Ct retirement
is not considered. The custom of re-
firing from active pursuits with
the requirement of a competency
was good, not only for the merchant; it was
good for his shrewd, faithful, frugal, am
bilious employees who succeeded to his bust
ness and thus secured a chance Of winning
fortune, which chance is now denied them.
The trouble is that in these days no one
knows when he has enough, and conse-
quently no one feels that he can step aside
and give opportunity of fortune to the
young men about him who are struggling
for place. Not overwork, but overanxety,
overambition to secure great fortune, is
breaking down the health and killing a
great many people in these days. Enjoy
ment, rest and health are freely paid by the
shrewdest of men for foremost place among
the winners of great wealth. Money, even
great deal of 1t, is good thing, but it is
as possible to pay too much for 1t as for any
other thing in the market.
