State Horse Breeders Exhibition.

The fourth annual meeting of the
state association of load and trotting
horse breeders, which is at Rutland
August % 80, promises to be the most
successful in every way in the history
of the association. The object, the
advancement of the legitimate inter-
ests of the breeders of road and trot-
ting horses, has been faithfully adher-
ed to, and all over the state, intelli-
gent breeders are vying with each
other in an earnest but friendly con-
test for the honors of the show ring
and the trotting track. The exhibit
ton of horses will be the largest and
best ever made in the state. The meet
ing will be characterized by the alb
sence of betting, drinking and catch
penny games. 1t will be freely at
tended by the best people of the state,
ladies as we'll as gentlemen. All the
railroads in the state will carry for
fare one way and half-fare tickets will
be sold at Whitehall, Keene, Fitch
burg, Boston, Worcester, Providence,
Springfield, Holyoke, Northamp ton
and Greenfield.

A Gloomy Outlook Abroad.

The readers of the Caledonian per-
haps are not aware of the serious as
pect of affairs in many parts of Europe
owing to the very cold and wet season
and the partial failure of many crops.
The news of a snow storm in Great
Britain in July was soon forgotten
here, but it seems that cold and wet
weather has so long continued that
very serious results are anticipated.
A private letter from Germany under
date of July %, gives some facts of in
terest which we give below =
You must have noticed by the pa
pers what cold wet summer we are
having all over Europe. We have had
not one hot day, and not more than
three that could be called summer
days. Rain, and cold rain, has been
the rule, and snow, even in the month
of July, in nearly all parts of the con-
tinent and the British Isles. Crops are
backward and will be nearly a failure.
Grass has grown, and grown well, but
hardly any has been properly cured
for hay. Grain will not ripen. 1t re-
mains green in the straw and has not
strength to stand up against the heavy
driving rains. In many fields it lies
fat upon the ground as though roller
had gone over it, and there it lies and
rots. Farmers and land owners are in
despair. There is more lamentatiOn
perhaps in Switzerland than elsewhere,
for its chief source of profit lies in the
summer influx of visitors but so long
as that country of stupendous noun
tains and deep valleys is enveloped in
cloud and drenched with rain, visitors
will not come. There is nothing there
to attract them and this means i'm
mense loss, and even financial ruin, to
hotel proprietors whose expenses are
heavy, and whose resources are thus
cut off,

NOTE AND COMMENT.

In the general order issued by Com
manderin- chief Rea, G.. A. R., on the
death of Sheridan he states that during
the year, 4123 comrades have died.
Senator Edmunds, VermOnt's cold
blooded senator, is evidently getting
warmed up. He appeared in the SEN
ate chamber last week minus his coat
and waistcoat.
The question of Mr.. Blaine's health
ought now to be considered settled.
1t is " excellent. I am feeling vigor-
GUS, very vigorous. Ny trip has re-
newed my youth." He himself hath
said it.
One enterprising New York CORES
pendent telegraphed.to his paper and
to an anxious public the announcement
that Mr.. Blaine brought home his nose
just under his forehead and just above
his moustache and right between his
eyes. .. .-t 5a@ tHnr az
The Christian Register says that if
St. Paul lived in our day his sermons
would be published in all the news
papers as were Beecher's sermons, and
as Talmage's are now published. Yes,
and ST. Paul would be read under these
circumstances, perhaps, more than he
is to-day.
Somebody has taken out patent for

Gen. Sheridan had prepared his own
memoirs, and his last days were occu-
pied in correcting the work which is
now in the hands of the publishers,
Charles L. Webster & Co., who issued
Grants book. The general had saved
but little from his salary, and was de-
pending upon his book to provide
something for his family.

A Winooski officer caught fugitive
whom he wanted to arrest in singular
way recently. The fellow ran to the
river bank and swan across. When
he reached the opposite bank the Off
Ger drew out big key which flashed
in the sun like revolver and ordered
the fellow to swim back or be shot.
No trees were near by to shield him
from bullets, and the man slowly swan
back, while the officer covered him
with the key and arrested him as he
came to land.

the Dakota ranch of the Vermont live
stock company, 1O4 of which average
1900 pounds each in weight. They
were sold for 81 and A cents pound,
the bunch averaging $5l.69 per head.
They were pronounced one of the best
lots brought into market this year,
while the prices averaged considerably
higher, being $3.50 more than for last
years shipments of the same quality of
cattle. Another lot of 300 head will
be shipped about September Is.

L. Wells presided and prayer was of

positions of the tariff question ever
given here. Mr.. May gave strong rea-
sons for supporting the administration
and defended the Presidents tariff
position and his pension vetoes. The
Lyndonville band furnished the music
for the occasion.

Less Noisy But More Deserving.

Amid all the hubub of the week one
must stop to think moment before
answering the question: Who is the
republican nominee for the presidency .
The boys in the upper gallery have
seen one of their old favorites cross
the stage, and their blatant cries and
cat-calls have fairly drowned out the
great mass of the audience who are
trying to give thoughtful attention to
a number of important subjects under
consideration. They are there, how
ever, the quiet, thinking men, and
when it comes to either real genuine
worth or numbers will double discount
the gallery shOuters every time.
GEN Harrison occupies position
both unique and difficult for a self re-
speeding American citizen to maintain,
but he does it with becoming dignity
and is every day attracting to himself
the high regard of the people. All
this while his record has been under
going a degree of microscopic scrutiny
known only to political opponents, and
the finer the test the better he bears it..
The honor of the republican nomina-
ton was unsought by him, but close
study of the man, either as judged by
his past life or his present attitude and
conduct, shows more and more that he
is worthy of it and cannot fail to at
tract those who think more and oftener
than they shout. A shouting cam
paign was tried four years ago and
failed We cannot help feeling that
General Harrison because of his own
intrinsic worth is gaining strength de-
spite the demoralizing effect of some
of these side shows. stEfFt

Sunday-SchOo1 Politics.
National Rd,,tist.

1t was Sunday-school politics which
spoke through the initial number of
Mr.. Garrison's Liberator, which walk
ed by the side of John Brown on his
way to the gallows, which inspired
Lincoln as he spoke at Gettysburg
and as he uttered his second inaugural.
1t was Sunday school politics which
launched the Mayfower and which
created America. 1t was Sunday
school politics which made the nation
great, which made the nation free,
which fought at Gettysburg and con-
quered at Appomattox. 1t is Sunday
school politics that will yet rule the
hour, if we are to have a future. And
the party or the nation or the paper
which sneers at Sunday school politics
may well fear that God has no further
use for it.

surdly funny, furnishing an amusing
illustration of the lengths to which a
democratic people will go when they
get after" hero. No one begrudges
Mr.. Blaine the pleasure of his trip
abroad. Every true American citizen
rejoices that he has retu rned to his
own shores in health and strength.
May he live long to enjoy both. Per-
haps, after all, he ought not to be held
responsible for all the grotesque ac-
tions of his humble subjects. Ameri
can citizens are new at this business,
and both time and practice will be
necessary before they can play the sub
ject just right.

A Loyal Subject.

One man lifted the hand and fervent-

1t was Mr.. Blaine's hand that was
thus lifted to the lips of a devout
American subject of the 'Euncrowned
kingn in New York last Saturday. AS
one of the papers of that city puts it,
it is a curious feature of the Blaine
craze that since his followers became
infected with it, although loudly vaunt-
ing their Americanism," they have
had recourse to the vocabulary of for
eign lands and of monarchical systems
of government for SMILES appropriate
to his leadership. In 1884 he was "the
plumed knight, in 1888 Americas
d" uncrowned king" and now, as En-
peror William graciously permitted
some of his subjects TO greet his recent
return to Berlin with a kiss on the
hand, so an American citizen apes roy
atty as he greets his "uncrowned
king.pf It is very affecting. 1t is abb

respecting farm which had been ad-

is to go to farming and double their
productiveness instead of skinning
