The rainbow tea and floral concert
last evening was but repetition Of the
success that always attends our ladies
when they attempt anything of the kind,
The seminary never contained fairer
crowd. The tables were all decorated
in the lOveliest manner with all the COL
ors of the rainbow, both in the china,
the flowers, lamps, etc., and were at
tended by our most attractive young
Misses dressed in the colors represented,
and certainly, prettier mattresses cannot
be found. The refreshments served
were of the choicest kinds and were full
ly appreciated by the guests. The most
brilliant feature of the evening was the
floral concert given by six of the rarest
flowers freshly gathered for the occa-
sion, namely, the modest daisy" the
lilly pure" The 'blushing rose, so red,
the fairesL of the flowers" the "big
enormous sun-fower," the dainty little
marguerite so sweet and fair, 80 sweet
and fair and bright" the gentle black
eyed-susan, who worked and worked
with all her might, and who had the
backbone 10 do it," The words used
were nearly all original, and the bits and
local illusions were very pat and anus
ing and ELECTED great applause. The
concert was repeated six Zines and add.
ed over thirty-two dollars TO the treas
ury, and the whole receipts, including
those from the candy table, presided
over by one of our k.ndest friends, and
the flowers sold by The sweet little Miss
Ruth Benedict, amounted to about one
hundred and ten dollars for the repair
fund. We are exceedingly thankful to
our loy ing and lovely friends temporar-
lily with us, who gave so lavisnly Of
their time, their wit, their musical tai
emit and their money 10 make the party
such great success. God bless them
one and all for theif love for the old
church.

To the Editor of the Bdnner:-So Ben
nington is becoming more and more a
place of summer resort and as its "Drives
are very numerous and are an important
feature of it's attractions, would it not
be well for those in authority to cause
guide-posts to be erected, to inform
strangers of the names and distances of
places to which the many different roads
lead. write this at the suggestion Of
strangers who spent the summer in Ben.
nington and who desire to come again.

GENERAL NOTES.

History, It seems, is about to repeat
itself. A tower 1900 feet in height is 10
be erected in London, rivaling that OF
Babel. That a confusion Of tongues will
result from its erection, however, as long
as the means Of linRual communication
number some 500, Is very doubtful. New
York cannot Of course acquiesce In hav-
ing a tower Of the Worlds Exposition IN
1899 less lofty than that of London, aud
Chicago will wait until the capstone Is
put on the New York tower. St. Louis
will begin after Chicago gets through,
and hence It seems that communication
with the inhabitants Of the celestial re-
gions will be had from the wicked city
Of st. Louis, yet ii will be confirmation
of the prophecy that the gates Of Sheol
and those of Paradise will be found to
be side by side.
In a recent speech Commissioner Tan
ner said my mail averages IL, 900 let
lers day, and they are one mighty wall
OF woe, and a man must be made OF
stone to shut his ears to their appeals.

OF cases special, something like 10. 900;
but the records show that there have
been only $50 so treated. wish were

power to transmute some Of the coin Of
the Republic into sunshine, and send 1t
streaming into the homes of suffering
and want and approved patriotism"

usual for him to get nights sleep. He
is accustomed to sit up till, thoroughly
tired out, he is obliged to lie down. But
oftentimes he can only ache and toss, and
now and then he is obliged to get up
again and sit in his library for an hour
or two and smoke himself still more
tired. The trouble is due to the inces-
SAINT pain in his two amputated legs. II
is to deRden this that the Commissioner

The sooner it is under in every South
ern State that the intimidation Of voters
and frauds upon the ballot-box means
disfranchisemen in Congress the better
it will be for every State in the Union,

never be any equity in elections any
where until the punishment is made to
fit the crime with about the same near

Apropos of making Queen Victoria q
