The Sensible Girl.

Some sensible observer of human nature
who has good eve for measurements, has
drafted some articles setting forth the
characteristics of the young woman who
unconsciously compels the respect and ad-
miration of all persons whose respect and
admiration is worth having. For in
stance:
She can joke and laugh and be gay; but
she never oyersteps propriety.
She has an idea of right and wrong, and
is anxious to live according to these ideas.
This does not make her prudish, even
though she does not drink champagne to
excess, smoke cigarettes and play poker for
small stakes In fact, she is careful of her
behavior, and does not think it necessary
to be fast in order to be popular. She is
Independent, and young men who meet
her at once respect her.-1oronto Empire.

THERE'S A MAN IN THE HOUSE"
The Harmless Practical Joke Played By
Bishop.

Bishop.
They say that when John II. Oberly,
the 'bishop," was younger man than he
is now, he was an irrepressible joker. A
member Of the Jefferson Club, who claims
to know what he is talking about, tells the
Washington Post that John was born at
just l o'clock in the morning and relates
the following circumstances concerning
the twenty-frst anniversary of that event !:
The entire household was asleep except
ing, presumably, young Oberly. At few
minutes after l o'clock he went to the door
of each bedroom and with feigned eau
tiousness aroused the sleeper, saying
"There's a man in the house."
Presently everybody was up and half
dressed. Some ventured out into the halls,
and others stood timidly in their half-open
doorways, while still other remained out
of sight behind locked door.
"Come out here" said John to those who
had not left their rooms; II tell you there's
nan in the house."
Finally he succeeded in getting every
body into the hall, where the group stood,
half afraid, half ashamed to show fear.
"Where is he" said one.
"Here | am" answered John; 81 am a
man. was 81 fifteen minutes ago."

ST. LOUIS is adroit. 1t has small chance
of securing the location of the worlds fair,
but t proposes to improve so much as it
has of opportunity. To that end it has
sent abroad circular containing a most
cunning device to impress the people with
the idea that st. Louis is, if not the center
Of the world, at least the center of the
United States. A handsomely printed
map has been issued, upon which are
struck three circles, their respective cen
tiers being New York, Chicago and St.
Louis. Thediameter Of these circles is sup
posed to represent 1000 miles. According
to the census of 1880 the population in the
st. Louis circle was 2S,S3s, Ol6, and the
estimate for 1890 is that there will be
within that circle a population in excess
of thirty and half millions. OF course
The st. Louis statistician shows that in the
other circles the population is greatly less

THE CHURCH HAT MUST GO.
Sunday Collections to be Taken Up by
Water Power.

water rover.
An inventive genius of Talladega, Ala,
has perfected machine on which he will
secure letters patent, the purpose of which
is to take up the usual church collections
on Sunday in place of the hat or contribu-
ton box. The power, says the Baltimore
Sun, is furnished by small water motor.
The continuance consists of a series of
small wires directly over each pew and at
tached to the ceiling. Along the sides of
the building and also attached to the cell
ing are two small wires running at right
angles with the other wires, and to these
wires he has attached contribution boxes,
suspended by another wire within easy
reach of the occupants of the pews. The
whole thing is set in motion by pulling
wire attached to the motor. The con-
tribution boxes then begin to pass along
the pews and receive the contributions. If
there are vacant pews, the contrivance is
so arranged that by pulling wire it can
be made to skip any pew that has no oc-
cupant.

The LamoiIIe County Savings Bank.

The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust company, of Hyde Park
has been organized by men who be-
lieve that a savings bank can be run
as a Vermont institution
1t relies exclusively upon Vermont
business, makes no southern or west
ern loans whatever, nor any loans
which the managers cannot aScer-
tain by personal investigation to be
good beyond question.
The conservative policy of its Pres
ident, Hon. c. S. Page, is well known
to all who have observed his recon-
mendatiOns as Inspector of Finance
for the state of Vermont during the
past four years. His ideas have been
regarded as Over-cautiOuS touching
the matter of investments, but the
policy of the management of this
bank will be in the exact line of his
well known views. Safety will be
the first consideration and with this
in view the bank will guarantee the
payment of four per cent. compound
ed semi-annually, believing that this is
all that the safest line of investments
and conservative management will
now warrant.
Persons at a distance can send
money with entire safety by express,
post office order, express money or
der, registered letter, or by bank
check or draft, and deposit book will
be returned by mail.
Deposits in this institution are ex-
empt from individual taxation to the
extent of 81 500. tmh21

A TEST CASE IN CIVIL SERVICE.

.. c. Couch of Amherst, Mass,
brother of ]. l.. Couch of this place,
was among the first three postmas-
tiers appointed by President Cleve-
land and his term expires March 81.
He has rendered such efficient service
that petition for his re-appointment
has been signed by every member of
the faculty of Amherst college and by
a number of the citizens of Amherst,
irrespective of party. His petit
ton, whose signatures represent
three-fOurths of the business of the
office. asks for his disappointment
purely on the grounds of civil service
reform He certainly deserves to be
postmaster another four years, and
for the sake of principle which Pres
ident Cleveland has not entirely ig-
nored it is to be hoped that Post
master Couch will be re-appOinted
by President Harrison on March 81

the bill when on its passage, certainly
did nothing to help 1T along, and IN
Cured the displeasure of other mem
bers of the committee because of his
passive resistance"
Now all this falsehood and rot of
the Argus is very calmly but decided
" answered by Mr.. Hazen in another
column, and it would not be referred
to here had not another phase of this
matter come up locally. About the
time of the appearance of the Argus
article private letter was written
to a well known politician in this
place by DIR. Grout of Stowe in which
these Argus charges are stated and
enlarged upon. This letter has been
passed around town among certain
parties, with the name of the person
to whom it was addressed carefully
erased.
Now let us look at this matter for
little: DIR. Grout was on the COM
mittce with Mr. Hazen that reported
this bill When the bill became a law
Governor Dillingham; appointed this
same Grout on the commission to To-
cate and build the state asylum.
What do the people of Vermont who
know Mr. Hazen, or those who now
read his letter, think of a man who
will write such a letter as DR.. Grout
has sent into Mr. Hazen'S own town
OF course it was sent on purpose to
injure Mr.. Hazen. While the effect
will be the opposite, the intent was
just that.
Again, what is thought of a COVER
nor who appoints such man as DIR.
Grout on SO important a commits
sion? For his own reputation, if for
no other motive, the governor should
revoke his commission at once. No
further proof of DIR. CIRCUITS unfitness
for so important a trust is needed.
And finally, the people of Caledonia
county are not making this talk be
cause of their disappointment at not
getting the asylum located here
That does not enter into the con-
sideration of this question. They
are shocked and indignant at the
methods used to get it located at
Waterbury, and are surprised that
some well-meaning people either en-
dorse or wink at such questionable
proceedings. AS said heretofore, the
action of this commission will not
bear the light of investigation.

NOT A LOCAL QUESTION.

The secret spring of St. Johns
bury's quarrel with the governor re-
veals itself III the bitter disappoint-
ment its newspapers express over the
failure to secure the appointment of
l.. ID. Hazen of that place on the
board of trustees. - Montpelier
Waterman.
There is where the Waterman is
way off again. If its editor will
read the CalcdOnian he will be I'M
able to find an intimatiOn that Mr.
Hazen should have been on the COM
mission. This paper has distinctly
claimed, and it is also Mr. Hazen's
view, that the commission should
have been made up of able, represent
tative men from different sections of
the state. Had this been done, no
one i'll Caledonia or Orleans county
would have criticised their action
wherever they had located the asy-
lum AS it is, neither Addison, Ben
nington, Caledonia, Orange, Orleans,
Rutland, Windsor nor Windham
counties had any representation on
the commission. Worse than this,
four of the five commissioners were
located within circle whose centre
would be Waterbury and whose cir
conference would not be over 80
miles from Waterbury, while all the
rest of the state was ignored, except
that Judge HobsOn was appointed
from Essex county. And this was
done after it was known that Water
bury, the home of the Governor,
sought to have the asylum located
there.
With commission thus constitut-
ed there were plenty of men in this
section who said from the first that
it was made up with design; that it
was useless to argue a case, however
good, before a packed jury, etc.
There were others, however, that
would not believe that this apparent
favoritism was by design, and gave
lhS poNSIHOl SlSOill lOI IstlT-1Il1nQeO-
ness and principle, and disliked to
believe he would stoop to trick.
But they don't think so any more.
The people of this section of the state
are now a unit on this matter They
are all of one mind, and the letters
received daily and the testimony
coming from many directions, only
confirm them in this belief
As the Caledonian said last week
the action of Gov. Dillingham; in To-
eating the state insane ASYLUM at
Waterbury will not bear investiga-
ton, and no one knows this better
than the Governor himself.
