The transition frnm long lingering aud
painful sickness to robust health marks
an epoch in the life of the individual.
such a remarkable event is treasured in
the memory and the agency whereby the
good health has been attained is grateful
~ blessed Hence it is that SO much is
heard in praise of Electric Bitters. SO
many feel they owe their restoration tu
health, to the use of the Great Alternative
and ronic. Ii you are troubled with any
disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach,
of long or snort standing you will surely
find relief by use of Electric Bitters.

Driving tandem has gone pretty well
out of fashion in New York. 1t is very
rare thing to see more than one or two
tandem rigs in the park now in the
course of an afternoon A perfectly
matched team is rarer yet. 1t is curl
GUS thing that the dog cart, whether
driven single or tandem, is always driven
in the city in America instead of in the
country, where it belongs. The vehicle
was originally designed for country
driving in England, and particularly
where the roads were rough. 1t was
driven tandem only where there were
hills to climb, when one horses strength
was deemed insufficient. Philadelphia

A short time ago the st. Johns
bury Republican gave Gov. Dilling-
ham severe castigation in connec-
ton with the location of the insane
asylum, and up to this time no State
paper has taken up the cudgel in be-
half of the Governor, SO far as our
notice has extended, save only the re-
doubtable Argus, the voucher for the
moral character of certain ring Re-
publicans in this and other parts of
the state. This championship of
Gov. Dillingham; is peculiarly fitting,
for it now seems that the old Smith
dynasty own him "body, soul and
breeches. He is a child of the royal
regime, and dances only to st. Al
bans music. His principal appoint
ments have been of the tribe of
Gregory, many of whom the people
had relegated to the shades ofprivate
life. So we think it is peculiarly fit
ting that the Argus should raise its
voice in his behalf.
For many years Gov. Dillingham;
has been looking towards the United
States Senate, if we mistake not he
can now give his optics rest, by
gazing upon his Waterbury Asylum
and contemplating a gubernatoria
reign, not of and for the people, hedg.
ed in by school laws, high taxes, ano
insane asylums. Goodbye, Senator
Dillingham;.

WASHINGTON, March lot is re-
ported that Whitelaw Reed has been
offered the English mission and en-
Senator Palmer of Michigan the
Spanish. The latter says he will not
aboard, but will return to Michigan
and run for governor. Ex-Governor
Porter of Indiana will go to Rome,
and it is expected that Hon. John c.
New will go to Austria. The collec-
torship of the port of New York, a
member of the delegation says, will
be given to resident of the city. 1t
is said tonight that Benjamin F. But
Ter, John A. Kasson and William
Walter Phelps will probably be sent
to represent the government at the
Samoan conference at Berlin, and
will be accompanied by ex-ConsuI
General Sewall and Augustus Cow
herd of Illinois, who negotiated the
treaty between the United States and
Samoa.

equally good secretary of war.-Rich-

Telephone Am usement.

A novelty is reported from Hastings
in connection with the performance of
1.-The Yeoman of the Guard at the
theatre. The stage has been connected
by telephone with various private houses
and hotels. so that numbers of people are
nightly hearing the opera without seeing
it. We are not aware that this has ever
been tried except in isolated cases as an
experiment. Hastings may, therefore,
be congratulated on being in the van Of
progress. London Globe.

Two elm trees that now stand in
front of the old Spooner place in
North Hartland were measured last
week, at points two feet from the
ground. The circumference of the
larger one was Is feet, 8 inches :

100 years ago, Ruggies Spooner and

identical trees on his shoulder, and

WINDHAM COUNTY COURT.

The March term of the Windham
County Court began Tuesday, Judge
James ii. Tyler presiding. Prayer
was offered by Rev. G.. IL. Smith,
following which High Sheriff Shum-
way made the proclamation. Twenty
nine of the thirty jurors summoned
answered to their names, the venera-
BILE clerk announcing, rs he found one
missing from his roll, that the num-
ber present would probably be suf-
ficient." 1t is more than probable
that the clerk was correct in his esti-
mate, for, of the twenty-nine cases
on the jury list only eight were at
first announced fol the jury and pre-
sumably one-half of those will not be
tried. The legal fraternity were not
very fully represented. Only two
laayers were present from Bellows
Falls and these only from Brattle-
boro. Col Haskins and ex-speakef
Martin being on the sick list.
The first case that came up for trial
was the case of Elisha Higgins, Agt.
by Fl. p. Higgins, Exor. VS. VIM.

eral assumpsit, and the pleas are the

President Arthur's Scarfs.

The late ex-President Arthur was
truly rated man of courtly manners
and bearing. whose appearance was in
itself an evidence of gentle breeding and
good taste. Admittedly the best dressed
chief magistrate that ever sat in the ex-
exutive chair, for many years he had
never worn any style of scarf but q
black De Joinville which long practice
enabled him to fold just far enough
away from geometrically correct lines
to impart an enhanced effect of elegance.
On full dress occasions Mr.. Arthur, Of
course, wore the conventional white
lawn tie.-Clothier and Furnisher.
