The Vermont association of Road and
Trotting Horse Breeders is rapidly grow
ing in public esteem. Its object, the adj
vancement of the legitimate interests of
the breeders of road and trotting horses,
has been persistently and intelligently
followed with results already of immense
value. and with splendid assurances for
the future. The interest of its patrons
has grown to enthusiasm, and now, all
over the State, intelligent breeders are
vying with each other in an earnest but
friendly contest for the honors of the
show ring and the trotting track. The
public at large have learned from the
three past exhibitions hat the objects
and methods of the association are strict
ly legitimate, and that its meetings are SO
conducted as to afford an entertainment
of rare interest, entirely free from the
Objectionable features that too often at
tend gatherings of this character. Colt
races are necessary as a guide to the
breeder. but. in order to be of any value.
they must be honestly fought out so thai
the best colt may win. and in this respect
the speed contests of this association have
been above suspicion. Increased speed
and excellence in all classes will be
shown at the coming Rutland meeting.
The exhibition of horses will be the
largest and best ever made in the State
The meeting will be characterized by the
absence of betting, drinking and catch.

all such information there is included much

THE BINDING TIE
Of Universal Sisterhood and the

eli OF Women.
An Agerieved Party Hauls
X-Grain Over the Goals, Scor.
ing Him Merc:lessly.


International Council Of Women,
The gist OF q circular recently sent
out by the National Woman Suffrage
Association il as follows:
The first public demand for equal
educational, industrial, professional
and political rights for women WAS
made In convention held at Seneca
Falls, New York, (U. =. A.. In the
year lS4S. To celebrate the Fortieth
anniversary OF this event, the Interna.
tional Council OF Women will be con-
vened under the auspices Of the Ma
tionsl Woman Suffrage Association, in
Albaugh's Opera House, Washington,
d. c., on March Is, 1888. However
the governments, religions, laws and
customs Of nations may differ, all are
agreed on one point, namely: Mans
sovereignty In the state, In the church
and home. In an international coun.
Gil, women may hope to devise new
and more effective methods for secur-
ing In these three institutions the
equality and justice which they have
30 long and SO earnestly sought. Such
u council will impress the important
lesson that the position Of women
anywhere affects their position every
where. Much Is said of universal
brotherhood; but, for veal and for
woe, more subtle and more binding, is
universal sisterhood. II Is neither in
tended nor desired that discussions In
the international council shall be linn
tied to questions touching the political
rights of women. Charitable, profes.
sional, educational and industrial as.
sociations will be offered equal oppor.
tunity with suffrage societies to be
represented In what should be the
ablest and most imposing body OF
women ever assembled. The ouncil
will continue eight days, and its six
teen public sessions will afford ample
opportunities for reporting the various
phszes Of womAn's work and progress
in all parts of the world. during the
past forty years. 1t Is hoped that all
friends of the advancement of women
will lend their support to this under.

what was or could be done. A resolu-
tion was also passed exonerating 8.

sending message to the President
and Governor. This morning the
committee waited on Mr.. Comings
and Mr.. Cooper aud were told that all
that possibly could be done had trans-
pired and that the only show was
from the eastern men who we're con-
nected with the road. They were -.
sured that no stone had been left un-
turned to relieve them. and money
was, and has been expected from day to
day. There Is no question but that
they will be paid but the suspense u

The sharpshooter's Last shot

Once during the war, a sllirmish line,
composed mainly of the Forty-eighth
Illinois, was thrown out in advance Of
our army. lying near jackson, Miss,
confronting Gen. Joseph Johnston. Tho
men had constructed a few temporary
shelters by standing rails upright, leaning
against each other, the tops being bound
together. Behind one Of these little
fortresses, though in a rather exposed
position, Capt F, ID. Stephenson, Of tho
Forty-eighth, was sitting on a turned up
bucket, taking his morning coffee. Az
he threw back his head in drinking,
whiz was heard, and ball sped by with
in an inch Of his face, directly across the
eyes, taking effect in a little dogwood
tree beside lin. TIE captain rose quietly,
and, taking a ramrod, stuck it in the
ground so that its top would be in the
space lately occupied by his nose; he then
went behind the tree and sighted from tho
bullet hole over the top Of the rod, thus
ascertaining the direction taken by the
ball in lis fight. Directly in this line
rose the top Of a large oak, with great
sheets and streamers Of southern moss
hanging dependent from its boughs.
"Boys, said Stephenson, evenly, ''our
man is among the branches Of that tree
yonder. Now" taking a soldiers cap
and placing il on the end Of knotted
stick. ''you all load up, and hay low.
When / shove this hat into view he will
fire again. There's your chance, let
drive" When all was ready he slowly
elevated the cap until just in dght from
the tree. A puff of white smoke burst
from its leaves, and the cap turned round
on its stick support letting the daylight
through large jagged hole in its crown.
A moment later, six Springfield rifles
spoke from the rail pile, and man
dropped from the oak tree, clutching
wildly at moss and branches as he fell
His last shot was fired.-The Argonsut
