A Dutch Talk.

She was massively built of vanished
oak, with bows SO bluff as to be almost
square, straight sided box, made, like
all Dutch craft, to slide over the water
rather than through it, and with i'm
mense wing like lee boards on each side
to let down and supply the place of
keel when going to windward. A tall
mast bore a lofty narrow headed main
sail with short curved gaff, and fore
staysail from the bow. The great rudder
bore along its upper edge a grotesquely
carved and gayly painted lion couchant,
the most common of all the rudder decor
ations and of as much Importance as the
familiar figurehead in seagoing ships.
Hull and spars were brightly vanished,
with castings of polished brass, and rings
and scrolls of red and blue paint wher
ever there was room. The slaves Of the
water barrels were green and white, and
marvellous landscapes were painted on
the ends. There was neat raised cabin
at the stern, gayly ornamented in green
and yellow, with little white curtained
flower decked windows, through which
one caught glimpses of a spotless dolls
house interior, with shining pots and
pans and quaint shapes of blue and brown
earthen vessels. OF course all the items
of household ife-cooking, washing, the
baby's toilet, and SO on-were performed
in the most open and unconcerned man.

Ape and Looking GLASS,

A looking glass is a mystery, an OBJ
ject of intense interest to many animals,
and it is often very amusing to watch
their maneuvers. Professor G. Robert
son describes the behavior Of large ape
in the Jardin des Plartes.
He was in an iron cage lording it over
some smaller monkeys. Ferns and other
things had been thrown between the
bars, which the ape attempted to seize.
At length a small land looking glass,
= .th strong wooden frame, was thrown
in. TIE ape got hold of it and began to
brandish it like q hammer, when sud-
denly he was arrested by the reflection
of himself in the glass.
After looking puzzled for a moment,
he darted his head behind the glass to
find the her ape, which he evidently
supposed to be there. Finding nothing,
he apparently thought that he had not
been quick enough in his movements.
So he raised and drew the glass nearer
to him with great caution, and then,
with swifter dart, looked behind and
again finding nothing, he made the at
tempt once more.
He now grew very angry, and began
to beat the frame violently on the floor
of his cage. Soon the glass was shat
tered. and pieces fell out. Again he was
arrested by his own image in the piece
of glass still remaining in the frame, and
he resolved to try again. More carefully
than ever he began, and more rapidly
than ever was the final dart made.
His fury over this last failure knew
no bounds, and he crunched the frame
and glass together with his teeth till
nothing but splinters remained.-Youth's
Companion.

A Giant Amon2 Pigmie's.
From the Boston Journal.

Specimens of the able arguments
the Virginia Bourbon organs are
launching at Gen. Malone:
"How could yellow dog be Governor
of Virginia when he has not tax medal
and is recognized a. a vagrant cur OF low
degree, whom it would be lawful to put
down culvert."
And again:
"How can Billy Malone be Governor
of Virginia when the ony way for him
to do it would be by negro votes
I Mshone is not the Northern ideal
of statesman, but the tone OF the
Bourbon campaign forcibly suggests
that in intellect and morals he mus,
be a giant among pigmies as compar'
ed with most of his opponents.

The Washington Post has been
doing a good work in exposing the
shams of the so called civil service
reform. 1t seems that during Cleve-
lands administration clerk in the
"snivil" department sold or gave
away examination papers. The mat
ter was called to the attention of
President Cleveland by Commission
er Edgerton, but TO spare the feelings
of this clerks sister, the wifi of
Commissioner Lyman, the matter was
hushed up and the clerk promoted.
This was under Cleveland, mind you.
But the Post brings out the further
fact that on the oath of last April
Edgerton laid the whole matter be-
fore President Harrison. And i,
would seem that he, too, hushed the
matter up, possibly to spare ole
Wanamaker's feelings. Oh, they are
precious set, all around. Now thai
the whole matter has been laid be-
fore the public great deal of right
eous Indignation is being manifested
and doubtless, Campbell, the above
mentioned clerk, will have to git, anC
Wanamaker will be sent out on I:
special Sunday school tour. Thanh
goodness the SITTER isn't an organ
and, so, doesn't have to apologize fo
all these frauds and humbugs.

AYERS Cherry PeCtOraI,


In diseases of the heart which persist
for long time and finally end, as very
large proportion of them do, in slow de-
cline and lingering death, dropsy al
ways sets in. In the late stages it is a
most intractable symptom, and adds
greatly to the suffering experienced. In
the treatment, physicians have been
wont to depend largely upon diet of
milk, which, in cases where it is we'll
borne and can be persisted in, always acts
well. But there are many patients who,
for various reasons, cannot be kept on
milk diet for any length Of time. To
some it becomes abhorrent after while,
and others really cannot digest it prop
erly as simple food as it is. And besides
that, milk diet is really unsuited to no
small proportion of patients affected with
cardiac diseases. We have reference to
those who cannot be kept quiet, but in
sist upon being up and about, often in
the open air, if not engaged in light
duties.
Professor German See, of Paris, has
long been engaged in study to learn
what elements in milk render it such an
admirable agent to stimulate the kid
neys, increase the flow therefrom and
hence prove of such great service in
dropsies. AS result of his investiga-
ton he is convinced that the one i'm
portant element is sugar Of milk. Acting
upon that theory he selected twenty-five
patients with heart disease, in all Of
which there was more or less dropsy
To each he gave 100 grammes of the
sugar of milk day, dissolved in two
quarts of water. In all these cases a
marked effect upon the kidneys was felt
within from twentyfour to forty-fve
hours, and the dropsies diminished rap
idly, and almost all such swellings dis
appeared altogether after series Of
treatments lasting from six to eight
days This discovery is likely to prove
one of the most important which has
been made in the medical world for
years.-Boston Herald.

THE VALLEY FAIR.

The third annual fair of the Valley
Association at Brattleboro was the
most successful ever there. The at
tendance was nearly Is, 900 Thursday,
and the enthusiasm unbounded. The
exhibits of cattle and horses, farm
products and implements, sheep,
swine and poultry, have rarely been
equalled. A novel feature was cav
alcade and pageant of gaudily deco
rated dog-carts driven by ladies and
gentleman. Tally-hos, buckboards
and fancy teams also participated.
An address was given Thursday by
Col. Brigham, president of the Ma
tional Grange. The races showed
the best time ever made at Brattle-
boro and were hotly contested. The
receipts aggregated over $4,000.

THE GOVERNORSHIP.
From the Montpelier Watchman.l

From the Montpelier Watchman.J
A very wholesome phase of current
discussion is the frequency and en-
phasis with which demand for "the
best man, custom or no custom, is
made and reiterated. We hope there
is nothing Pickwickian or ephemeral
in this summons. 1t is true, as many
are saying, that custom should have
nothing to do with the choice OF a
candidate for Governor. 1t is also
true that the state is shingled over,
armored as with plates of Bessemer
steel, with political customs. A
United States Senator must, in obe-
dience to custom, hail from each side
of the Green Mountain ridge. The
Governorship, at the behest of custom,
must see-saw from the east to the
west side. Custom requires that the
occupant of the office must serve one
term and then step down and out
from the very threshold of his capac-
|ity for practical usefulness. The
Legislature must be biennial filled
with raw law makers in obedience to
the imperious custom of rotation in
the office of Senator and Represen-
tative aud there is wicked custom
of forestalling by familiar methods
the free action of caucuses and nomi-
mating conventions in which "the
best man, custom or no custom, II
he has tire hardihood to enter, is sys-
tematically beaten and routed by the
busy man skilled in the arts of "prac.
tical politics" There are customs
aud customs, and if the people are tt
be ruled by custom they should es'
tablish those that are wise, fair ano
wholesome.

vile, but for many years preceding
the war was a resident of St. Johns
bury. At the age of 81 he volunteer
ed in answer to Lincoln's call fol
troops, and was appointed adjutanl
of the Third Regiment, Vermont

Brush with a Wildcat,

Elezer Goodrich had an exciting expe-
rience in the Spring Brook woods on a
dark night last month. He was riding
a horse along an old log road, on lis way
home from Moosic, when wildcat
sprang from the bushes with growl,
gave two or three leaps and seized the
horse by the neck. Goodrich kicked at
it as hard as he could until it let go and
dropped in front of the running horse.
He didn't hear anything more from the
wildcat, and, after he had quieted the
horse and hitched him to tree, he went
back, struck some matches and searched
for the savage beast. The wildcat lay in
the road with acrushed skull, the horse
having apparently trod upon it as it fell.

WHAT LICENSE WOULD DO.
[Laroy Southworth In Rutland Herald.l

Laroy Southworth In Rutland Heraid'I
Here are some thoughts suggested
by reading and rejecting; Under a
high license law each town would de-
eide for itself whether it would delib-
erately consent to its own pollution.
Under license law liquors could and
would be frequently sold to minors.
Under license law liquors could and
would be daily sold, without COM
Functions of conscience, to habitual
drunkards. Under a license law the
seller would be legally responsible for
all injuries and damages resulting
from liquors sold. Exactly, upon
sufficient proof only. When you
want hare Stew. first catch the hare
Under a license law the state would
receive a revenue which now goes in
to the pockets of three men-the
States Attorney, the Justice and the
Grand Juror. That is to say, the
state could sell her virtue and her
honor for SO much lucre per annum.
Which is better, the present liquor
law as it stands, with all its imper-
fections and its daily infractions, but
which still aims to secure the great
est good to the greatest number by
seeking to eliminate the cause OF vice,
poverty and crime, or the adoption OF
another law having perhaps more diff
ticulties of enforcement than the one
now upon the statute books, and
which, while in inflated the public ex-
chequer, debased the moral stamina
of the people, and thus for an ephe-
neral good bring about an endless
train of multiplying evils ?
Arguments against our prohibitory
law predicated upon high license in
Pennsylvania or elsewhere do not fair
ly apply to the situation in Vermont
Pennsylvania has just emerged from
the darkness and debauchery of free
rum to the less cloudy atmosphere Of
restriction. She has gallantly step
ped in the direction of temperance
Her next movement on the same issue
will be forward not backward. The
state of Vermont has taken more
advanced temperance position thai
the state of Pennsylvania, and Yer
monters as rule are more temperate
in the indulgence of Intoxicating bev
9 erages than are the Pennsylvania
as class.
1t is possible that constitutions
