THE MEETING AT wARRENToN.
Speeches by the Candidates-.-A Good
Dinner and Pleasant Day for

Dinner and Pleasant Day for
All.
Last Friday a big company of candidates,
ladies. children and gentlemen assembled al
MIR. Frank A. Wilson called the meeting to
order and Introduced the candidates, who
spoke In their most persuasive manner.
When Colonel Calhoun, candidate for Con-
gress, and the candidates for the Legislature
had been heard, Chairman Wilson very prop
erly announced that the speaking was closed,
and withdrew from the stand.
The fun now began in earnest. Candidates
for the office of County Commissioner were
called, AMI each In turn came forward and
made his speech, from which the voter was
expected to make up his mind as 10 the speak
ers qualification for managing the finances OF
the county.
When the School Commissioners were call
ed TO the front they said their speeches. too.
This brought us to about 1our O'Clock In the
afternoon, when the minds of the people had
been stuffed to over1Owing with valuable and
useful information concerning the political,
practical, and school affairs OF the State.
The meeting broke up and each voter went
utf to digest the best barbecued dinner that
Il gnawing fox IN an empty stomach.
Mr.. George A. Shillito was one of the cooks
and he did 1t well.
A kind friend gave US n big plate well filled
with the choicest hash. and other good things.
We sat down and had good dinncr-one that
we really enjoyed.
A great many pretty ladies were present,
and the young folk had most enjoyable day.
The speakers didn't prevent them from hay
ing good time.
The fact that large company of ladies lis
tened for hours 20 political speeches attests
their Christian fortitude. This editor swung
around the corners and talked to such idle
neighbors as were not listening to the speech
eS.
The candidates have been faithful. For
weeks they have been going from place TO
place, visiting The people, shaking hands with
The voters, counting the women, kissing the
children, and amusing the audiences by their
alleged speeches.

w. J.

The light consists of peculiar tape that is fed by g. simple clockwork. In point of intensity it is not surpassed by electricity, it's light is much softer and far easier to the eyes. It feeds itself, requires neither pipes, wires nor other connections, and in size may be produced from three hundred to seven thousand candle power.-New York Telegram.

Ants Making Lemonade.

Did you know that ants would make lemonade2" asked Bridge street grocer. ''They will for I have seen them do it several times. The other day left slice of lemon on the coun ter and there happened to be some SUI gar not far off, and directly l noticed the ants carrying sugar to the lemon juice. I thought it was rather queer as well as cute, and to test the matter have tried it several times by putting a piece of lemon on the counter and placing some sugar near by, and the ants never fail to carry the sugar to the lemon. What do you think of that, nowi It is an absolute fact. "-- Tampa Tribune.

THE CHURCH AND THE LODGE.

Alarm at the 1nroads Made Upon Re-
 ligion by Secret Organizations.
 What shall be the attitude of the church toward the secret orders which have multiplied SO rapidly throughout the country during the last few yearsf With many of our churches no problem is more serious, or beset with greater complications The problem would be simplified somewhat if these organiza- tions were made up entirely of men who have professed no allegiance to the church, but the place which the lodge holds in the affections of many church member is what gives rise to great anxiety. Sad though the comics sion is, it must be acknowledged that some men whose names are on the church roll habitually give precedence to the secret society over the church. If the meetings conflict the successful competitor for their presence is the former. They have no time to spare for the great religious gatherings like those at Saratoga, but they will go long distance to be present at a con- clave of their fraternity.
 At the meeting of the Vermont Con- gregationalists at Rutland the subject aroused the lveliest discussion of the whole session. Resolutions mildly dep recating the absorption of some Chris tians in such interests were set one side, because few thought that the formal protest would be considered a declaration of war, and would embar- rass them in their efforts to counteract the baneful influences of these societies. Yet not a man who spoke failed to ad- init that Christian concerns in his own community were suffering on account of them Several who live in towns of only a few thousand inhabitants re- ported from twenty to forty thriving orders
 We believe that Vermont is not ex- ceptional in this respect. The lodge using the term to include the meetings of the various secret orIers-will be found strongly intrenched all through the country, growing in numbers and power, and everywhere detaching the devotion of Christian men from the church, and too often, we fear, from the straightforward service of their master Recent figures, carefully com piled, show that Boston has 243 church. es to 599 lodges; Brooklyn, 355 church. es to 695 lodges; Washington, 181 churches to 316 lodges; Chicago, 38A churches to 1, 0SS lodges, and the same proportion obtains in other cities.- CongregationaliSt.

The British Museum Open at Night.

Thirty years have elapsed since se- lect committee of the house of com mons recommended that the British museum should be open to the public between the hours of and 10 p. m. Throughout three decades official pass ivity has successfully withstood innu- merable efforts on behalf of the people to bring about this desirable innova- ton. At length, however, those ill high places who emulate the conserv- atism of Mrs. Burlington, and cling as tightly to the "rest-and-be,thankfur policy as that reactionary old lady did to her ocean spurning broom, have been compelled to comply with one moiety of the recommendation put for ward by the parliamentary committees of March, 1860. To the other-name- ly, that the national gallery should also be thrown open thrice week un- til 10 p. m.-they will, in all probabii- ity, reluctantly accede thirty years hence. .-Galignani's Messenger
