The Effect of Tight Shoes.

Chicago Herald: A lady who visited
Hooley's theatre the other evening suf-
fered through the first play of the bill
with exceedingly tight shoes. When the
curtain fell she coniided her sulrerings to
her husband, and he suggested that she
slyly rcmove her shoes till the perform
ance was over. This she did, and the
consequent relief afforded her allowed
her proper enjoyment of the other plays.
When the curtain went down for the last
time she discovered TO her horror that her
feet had swollen in the warm atmosphere
of the house SO that she could no: get
the tight shoes even over her
toes. As they had only TO
walk TO The fremont house, and
as the lady had on black stockings, her
husband told her to DO the shoes up in
her program and walk along as though
nothing had happened. This she did and
they started to mOv out slowly with the
crowd. The lady walked along comfort
ably until zeal the door, when suddenly
she began TO jump and cavort around as
though mad. Her stockinged feet had
struck an exceedingly warm register, and
the heat had curled her feet out of shape
during her brief s|ojOurn on it. When
she struck the stone sidewalk outside a
chill replaced the feverish feeling, and
when she reached the fremont she
swore never TO wear tight shoes 10 the
theater again.

Vermont to the Fore.

Editor of the Waterman Your friends
greet you in your new-od field of journal
ism. Increase of opportunity implies in
creased responsibility. The editorial writer
addresses every week an immense assem-
blage. For good or i'll his pointed words
are to an extent imperishable. Let your
motto be " the rights of all" Right wrongs
no man. Be in truth a Waterman on the
towers of progress. Let your efforts be to
keep Vermont ever in the van. She never
yet has taken second place. In peace or
war she has ever been to the front. Ethan
Allen, with the recollection of Ticonderoga
resting like a halo of glory above his tomb;
our own Stannard, taking his eternal sleep
wrapped in the memory of achievements
won at Gettysburg like starry pail; but
over all and above all the rank and file who
sleep in marked and unmarked graves to-
day, along the valleys and above the noun
tains where their hearts blood was shed in
the name of liberty and union-these attest
our leadership in war. In peace our vic
tories have been no less renowned. In con-
gress in the senate the voice of Vermont
has never been unheeded. Our junior SEN
ator, the first lawyer and statesman of his
age; our Morrill,, venerable and venerated,
standing, for years like rock on sea-beat
coast, in defense of American industry
at Chicago, first to last, steady and true,
heading the column for him who will soon
take the proudest rank on earth-these attest
our leadership in peace. The nation will
bend a listening ear to catch the echoes
from Vermont in September, and she will
not listen in vain or be disappointed in
what she hears-thirty thousand strong
for Harrison and American homes Our
voters are already calling to each other along
the line, "Clese up, elbows touching -
bearing not only the banners of our party,
but flying the guidons of needed reforms
in politics and morals. w. W. HIGBEE.

pie of Vermont will come to orderp Among
the features of the occasion was a log-cabin,
large enough to hold twenty men, on wheels,
drawn by eight or ten yoke OF oxen, which
brought the late Governor Charles Paine
and a company of his friends from North
field to Burlington"
The writer of the above evidently was
not present at the convention. Governor
Paines celebrated cabin was drawn from
Mortified to Burlington by six pairs of
superb horses. He was man not exactly
satisfied with the gait of an OK team. Gov
ernor Meech," so-called, came from Shell
burne with log-cabin drawn by forty pairs
of splendid oxen, all from his own farms.
The grand old gentleman, weighing some
$50 pounds, sat at the helm guiding his IA
vorite team with agoad like an ordinary fish
ing rod. This cabin was accompanied by nu-
merous others, of more modest proportions
and appointments, hailing from points all
along down the west side of the state, form
ing a line of nearly or quite mile in
length-all of them adorned with appro-
pirate flags, notices and devices too nu-
merous to mention. A large proportion of
the 10000 or $4,000 people who attended
were entertained over night by the citizens
of Burlington without distinction of party
it being said at the time that only six
"loco-focos " refused to throw open their
doors William Martin of Plainfield served
as vice-president, and George w. Collamer
of Barre as marshal for Washington county
while the venerable Orange Fifield, then of
Orange, was marshal for Orange county
The Hon. William p. Briggs of Richmond,
from the committee appointed for that pur-
pose, made the following report:
To the People Of Vermont nor in Conren-
ton Assembled:-The committee to whom
was referred the resolution on the number
and condition of the log cabins in town, and
the number of latches uplifted, ask leave to
report-that they have attended to the
duties assigned them, and find the whole to
be 21S, all covered with the productions of
the country, pine and spruce bark and
straw many of which are stationary and
some locomotive. OF the number of latches
uplifted the committee can not speak with
certainty-say from 10000 to $1,000 But of
the inmates and occupants; of the mothers
and daughters, sons and fathers, it is with
mingled emotions of pride and pleasure
your committee are constrained to say that
pure American feeling is enshrined in a
generous and profuse hospitality, and con-
nected with such expansive and unyielding
patriotism as shall soon respond high noon
to the dawning of that brighter day in
scribed upon our banners" P.

Washington County Republicans.

In response to a call of the county COM
mittee, members of the town committees of
the towns of Washington county, and repre-
sentatves of the clubs of the republican
league, met at Capital Hall Tuesday fore
noon for the purpose of perfecting plans for
the promotion of the interests of the party
in the coming election. General Pitkin,
the Washington county member of the state
committee, called the meeting to order and
explained the object of the call. j. H.
Orcutt of Northfield was chosen chairman,
and F. A. Dwinell of Plainfield secretary.
On call of the roll, nearly every town in
the county responded through either a
member of the town committee or an officer
of league club, and in several instances
through representatives of both organiza-
tions. 1t appeared that in eight towns
league clubs had been organized. A full
and earnest discussion of the political
situation and of the ways and means to
promote the party interests in this county
was had. The deliberations ended in the
adoption of the following motion: That the
county committee take immediate measures
to secure, through the town committees,
the organization of republican clubs in
every town in the county in which such
clubs have not been formed.
In the discussion on this motion it was
explained that the design of these clubs is
not to supersede the regular party ma
chinery, or to interfere with local methods,
but to be auxiliary to the town committees
in the effective prosecution of campaign
work. The recommendation was cordially
approved, particularly by the representa-
tives of the towns in which, for various rea-
sons, clubs had not been organized. An in
formal and enthusiastic interchange OF
opinion and of suggestions for the initiation
and prosecution of the active work of the
campaign followed the conclusion of the
formal business of the meeting. The de-
STABILITY of large representation at Bur
lington next week was enforced, and the
prospect is that Washington county's ban
ners will be conspicuous in the great assem-
blage in the Queen city of Vermont.
In the afternoon the county committed
met to give practical effect to the recon
mendatiOn of the meeting. A circular was
formulated to be addressed to each mem
Der of every town committee. The circula
recites the recommendation of the meeting
and details the leading objects of the club
1t exhorts the republicans of Washington
county who are still unorganized to form
clubs AT ONCE, in order that they may par
ticipate, in their organized capacity, in tn
great ratification meeting at Burlington, il
which the committee asks that every tow
shall be fully represented. Immediate ant
diligent attention to the recommendation
is strongly enjoined. Time is short and ex
petition is urged. Papers for effecting tn
organizations recommended are forwarde
TO the town committees. Committees i
towns where clubs are already formed ar
admonished to fill up their ranks and secur
the attendance of their clubs in body a
