EXTENDS HER SYMPATHY.

New York, though cast down,
May yet be town,
Though dying she isn't quite dead;
But she's too near this city
IT'S really pity
To longer remain at the head.
Our grand celebration
Will call from each nation
The eminent persons of state,
As they haste from the Eastland
New York can at least scan
The crowds that come through our front gate

Keen Scent.

butterflies are endowed not only with

acute senses. Out of his collection. com

chose two butterflies which were only
two or three days old, and had never had
their freedom.
One of these he attached securely by a
thread to the fence in the rear of his
house in the upper part Of New York.
He marked the other SO that he could
identify it, and placing it in a small box
carried it down town TO one of the ferries.

distance into the city of Hoboken.
Here it was turned loose. When the
experimenter reached his house, several
hours later, he found the two butterflies
side by side ON his back fence. The but
terfiy which was but just born, and had
never before had its liberty, had travelled
several miles, crossed wide river and
promptly found its way back to its mate
in one of those back yards of New York

This seemed a most extraordinary feat

1t is surprising how the fashion among
ministers of religion of wearing dis.
tinctive dress is dying out A few years
ago nearly every minister wore white
necktie, vest buttoned close up to the
throat and coat of similar pecutarity.
Now all is changed. The white tie has
long since lost its clerical mark. and
when minister wears a coat of the kind
that used to be his exclusive property he
rather makes himself conspicuous by it

The declination of Mr.. Ball (the
mass convention wasn't big enough
for him) leaves but one course open
for the independent, thinking Repub-

determined to rebuke and put under
their feet the bossism that if contin-
ued would ruin the party, and that is
to vote for w. l.. Gibson of Lon
donderry from the north end. To
this end ticket has been made up as
follows: For Senators, W. L. Glib
son of Londonderry and j. c. New
ton OF Dummerston for States
Attorney, s. I. Davenport of Whit
lngham; for the remainder of the
ticket the regular nominees are en-
dorsed. The hundreds of Republi-
cans in the county who cannot vote
for Mr.. Melendy on account of his
close affiliations with the railroad ring
and of his connections with the Cen
tral Vermont railroad, having for ten
years been a recipient of the roads

cans who are dissatisfied on certain
local proceedings will best serve theil
own interests by giving the county
ticket united support, relying on the
protest already made to have a
healthy effect in the future"
There is probably no town in the
county whose people understand in
their own mind, so well Just how Mr..
Melendy's nomination was secured as
Londonderry. No people know so
well to whom he is indebted for his
present standing. If it had not be en-
for certain politicians, railroad men.
who in our minds have always figured
largely in securing his nominations,
he would have never risen above the
average citizen. Where favors are
given favors are expected and gen
orally received. We believe if man
has for many years carried free
pass from the Central Vermont r.
X. in his pocket, ne will, when called
upon, vote for that corporation in all
matters where they are to be affected.
We have made protest and we don't
propose to go into our boots and
watch the effect. The present is ours
to improve. Let us stand firm and
improve it. For, for us there NAV he
no future in which to right a wrong.

these qualifications in VIM. L. Gibson of
