NEWS IN GENERAL.
Bad Accident Near Lancaster.

A sad accident occurred on the Kill
kennev Lumber company's railroad,
six miles east of Lancaster, Friday
morning. A train with II lengths
of timber was crossing from kilken-
ney and, breaking apart on the steep
grade, the engineer endeavored to
keep out of the way of the rear sec
ton. When rounding a curve the en-
CINE left the track plunging into the
bank with great velocity, burying
the engineer and brakeman in the de-
bris, the fireman saving himself by
jumping. When assistance arrived
the engineer, l.. F. Crouch of Haver-
hill, was found dead, his head having
been split open and his body fearfully
burned by escaping steam. The fire
man, William Batch, and Brakeman
George Gonya miraculously escaped
with their lives, being badly burned.
The engine was a total wreck, the
tender having turned a complete
somersault, several cars were smash
ed and the track torn up for several
rods. No one appears to have been
at fault, except that an old engine

PRESS COMMENTS.
Solid Truth In This.

The republicans of Brattleboro
have voted to ask for the retention
of the democrat who is at present
the postmaster of the city. We sup
pose there are democrats who will
be disposed to claim this as victory
for their party. Nothing could be
more mistaken. When the demo-
Gratis can show such an act of mag
nanimity on their part toward a re-
publican postmaster they may well
claim victory-not earlier. The
real triumph in this case is for the re-
publicans who preferred the good of
the public service to the rewarding of
a partisan of their own faith. The
public will remember it to the credit
of the right party. The doubtful
voters of our own day are the men
who approve just such acts as this
one They will range themselves
with the party that acts oftenest in
the same spirit, and when our repub
lican friends abandon their chase af
ter false gods, and realize that their
interest is rather in promoting the
best interests of the country, they
will find the party recovering its ear
lier prestige, and much of its earlier
strength will be likely to come with

LINcoLN's GETTYsBURG SPEECH

1t has sometimes been said that
this 1.-THE Gettysburg speech was not
appreciated at the time of its deliv-
cry; we therefore add the testimony
of another high authority to that of
Emerson. On one day after the dedi-
cation Edward Everett wrote to the
President: Permit me to
express my great admiration of the
thoughts expressed by you with such
eloquent simplicity and appropriate
ness at the conservation of the Gene
terry. | should be glad if l could fiat
ter myself that | came as near to the
hours, as you did in two minutes. :"
Mr.. Lincoln replied: Your kind
note of today is received. In our re-
spective parts yesterday, you could
not have been excused to make a
short address, nor | a long one. |
am pleased to know that in your
judgment the little did say was not
entirely a failure. OF course | knew
that MIR. Everett would not fail; and
vet while the whole discourse was
eminently satisfactory, and will be of
great value, there were passages in
it which Transcribed my eXpecta-
tons. The point made against the
theory of the general government be-
ing only an agency, whose principals
are the states, was new to me, and,
as think, is one of the best argu-
ments for the national supremacy.
The tribute to our noble women for
their angel ministering to the suffer
ing soldiers surpasses in its way, as
do the subjects of it, whatever has
gone before. = February Century.

a UNIQUE VERMONT INDUSTRY.

A correspondent of the Boston Her
aid of Feb. gives some particulars
of an important industry which will
be not only news but interesting to
many readers of the Caledonian:
a visit to Carroll S. Pages leather
establishment at Hyde Park would
reveal an object lesson in business
methods that would do every young
man in this country good. The fore
sight, system and thoroughness IL
Illustrated at every hand are marvel
lous. The business is unique. Mr..
Pages father bought and sold calf
skins in small way, but the develop
nent of the present extensive plant
is the work of the son. 1t is simply
an elaborate asserting and classify
ing system, with the idea of having
on hand i'll large quantities calfskins
in every grade and weight, so care
fully classified that skins in the same
class do not vary in weight from
each other over half a pound. There
are-or there were, for it is possible
that new grades have been added re-
cently-sOme 1856 varieties in sepa-
rate compartments in the cellar of
the shop, and orders from tanneries
in any part of the country can be fill
ed in the very shortest time and with
the most exact attention to grade.
Over 500 buyers of calfskins are in
all parts of the country purchasing
skins, which, after they are properly
cleaned and classified, are sent, posi-
bly, to the tanneries in the very sec
tions of the country from which they
came. The receipts of skins have
grown from 5000 in year to over
$4,000 III a month, and a yearly
business of $25O,OOO is done. The
system of bookkeeping, which, it can
be seen, is necessarily complicated, is
as close to perfection as can well be
imagined. Mr.. Page has the faculty
of putting into writing the most in
significant details and of making
them tell something

EMERSON ON NEWSPAPER READ
The following is from Emerson S
Talks with a College Boy" in the
February Century:
Newspapers have done much to
abbreviate expression, and SO to inn
prove style. They are to occupy
during your generation large share
of attention." This was said nearly
a quarter of a century ago. 1t was
as if he saw ahead the blanket edi-
tions) "And the most studious and
engaged man can neglect them only
at his cost. But have little to do
with them. Learn how to get their
yours. Do not read them when the
mind is creative. And do not read
them thoroughly, column by column.
Remember they are made for every
body, and don't try to get what
ism meant for YOU. The miscellany,
for instance, should not receive your
attention. There is great secret in
knowing what to keep out of the
| mind as well as what to put in.
And even if you find yourself interest
ed in the selections, you cannot use
them, because the original source is
from a newspaper. Like some in
sects, it died the day it was born.
The genuine news is what you want,
and practice quick searches for it.
Give yourself only so many minutes
for the paper. Then you will learn
to avoid the premature reports and
anticipations, and the stuff put in for
people who have nothing to think. :"

INTERESTING CULLINGS.


The Eirst Fuchsia in England.
Mr.. Lee, nurseryman of Hammer
smith, in 1889, was the first to obtain
and increase this plant for sale, and
the traditional account of his good
fortune in the matter may interest
some of those who now admire the
fuchsia as a popular garden flower.
A hundred years ago the vineyard
nursery garden near Kensington was
as renowned for its rare collection of
exotics as it had been at a still earlier
date for its fourishing vineyard and
the good wine made and sold on the
premises. One day a visitor fond of
plants called and was shown all the
floral treasures of the place by the pro-
prietor himself. "Ah, Mr.. Lee" said
the visitor at parting, g! saw Won
derful plant Towering in cottage
window at Wrapping the other day,
with dropping crimson flowers and
buds like coral eardrops, and I have
seen nothing so beautiful in your green
house today"
The great nurseryman was q little
piqued at the idea of anything in
window being compared with his
choicest hot house rarities, and curl
osity prompted him to make inquiries,
the result being that he drove down
to Mapping next day, and there, sure
enough, in the window of humble
dwelling was the first fuchsia he had
ever seen. Half beside himself with
exultation of such beautiful discov-
cry, he soon introduced himself to the
owner of the plant, who told him that
her Jack the sailor had brought it
home with him on his return from
South America, and that, poor as she
was, nothing would induce her to
part with the plant, or, as she called
Il, ''her keepsake" After some per-
suasion, however, Mr.. Lee induced
her to let him take away the
plant and in return he en- piled
his pockets of all the n6ney
he had about him Several gum
ea9, at the same time pronising
that plant should be returned t. her
after he had succeeded in increasing il
from cuttings or slips. And 50 fron
