women haul in pollock or cod or salmon

string of fish each one Of which is bigger
than his captor. 1t is the greatest fish

nary-in fact, it was far below the aver
age mark. We were surrounded by 60
other boats each one having far better
record, for it was managed by an expert,

I am at the very uttermost end Of
what Carlyle called The audacious re-
public.
This island is Campobello: the place,
the Ty -y-coed. II lovely clearing in the
forest on its tiptop summit. 1t is, in
fact, in New Brunswick, Canada. directly
opposite Eastport, Maine. across a green
arm of Passamaquoddy Bay. Far away
southwark the Bay of Fundy shines, and
in the cleaning reach of water between
flash to and fro sailboats on the fishing
grounds. Within ten acres of water you
shall count hundred sail this afternoon,
and their harvest of pollock and cod
shall be something tremendous.
This summer resort is very famous for
four qualities:
1. Cnintermittent GOODNESS. There is
not one warm day in all this summer.
We wear our winter flannels We sleep
under blankets We sit through the
bland afternoons and the long evenings
and we play whist and sing and make
merry before open wood fires. (But the
people who sing and make merry do not

are playing whist. Oh, no, dear reader.
Not much!)
3. Salubrity. The census proves this
place and its visa Wis, PASSPORT, to be
the second healthiest locality in the
United States, San Diego, CAL, stand
ing the very first. So Western invalids
should 60 to San Diego, and Eastern in
valids should all come over here. There
is never a single case Of hay fever here;
none that is brought here can survive.
8. Picturesque marine scenery. No
where on this continent, except, per-
haps, at the Thousand Isles in the St.
! Lawrence, are there such varied and
! charming vistas of interlaced land and
water, and even that lovely interior arch
ipelago lacks the grandeur of precipit-
GUS coasts and tumultuous seas that are
presented here. During the fortnight of
my stay we have made 10 afternoon exc
cursions in the little steamboats, that
dodge about these seas, going, each time,
about 80 miles, and we have never been
twice along the same track. Out from
Quoddy and Cobscook open other land
locked bays like the fingers of two or
three giant hands carving all the fluent
neighborhood into islands and peninsu-
las, straits and isthmuses, tranquil coves,
and bold headlands. Here are "the rest
full mountains and the restless sea- The
extreme eastern point of the United
States is the abrupt cape whereon stands

Tho Different Ways In Which They Get
Or the Track.
Courier reporter was treated 70
very interesting discussion by q we'll
known railroad man last night upon the
peculiarities Of animals when approached
by train and struck.
There is nothing more exhilarating
than ride upon fast express, said
he, land the faster tho better. have
been on the engine when all kinds OF
dangers from stock presented themselves,
and never yet have received an injury
from an accident The only safe way
when striking an object is to open the
throttle and hit it with all the speed pos.
sible. The COW catcher strikes it, and
has the effect Of giving it an upward
motion. l. have seen cows thrown %
feet high when struck by fast moving
train. That is what saved Mr.. Schmidt
from instant death. The train that struck
him was going very fast, and hit him SO
hard that it threw him clear off the track
A sheep is the worst animal that can be
run over. All engineers are very care
full in regard to these critters When a
sheep sees train approaching it squat.
right down on the track and allows itself
to be run over. The wool gets in the
wheels, and the fat from the animal
makes the track greasy, as though it had
been oiled, and it is only a rare chance
that the engine striking it is not deraied.
The popularity with fowls is that they
will run for long distance up the track.
and not leave it until struck. Geese will
run for short distance. and when they
see the engine will catch them they sit
down and let the train pass over their
bodies, and come out unframed. \ bull
is the meanest animal to encounter on
the road. Nine times out of ten they
will face about and stand with lowered
heads waiting to butt the engine off the

prised bulls in my time, and the conceit

Rabbits will never leave the track wher

When Mrs Ernest Prentice died in

there should be no funeral sermon and

mourners gathered about A full brass
band was stationed in the yard After
the coffin had been closed the band
played "Nearer, My God, to Thee "
The pail bearers moved slowly to the

Then the band took position in front OF

also at theAlbany Law School and, taking
up his residence at Rutland, VT was adj
mitted to the bar of that State in 1860.
Upon the breaking out of the war OF
the rebellion he enlisted as a private in
the Third Vermont Volunteers; was
made captain Of company A, and rap
idly promoted to major and lieutenant
colonel oi that regiment, attaining the
latter rank in the summer of 1861. This
was the regiment of General "Baldy"
Smith, afterward one of the famous
generals of the war, and to whom is en-
titled the credit of saving the Army of
the Cumberland by a cleverly executed
maneuver by which Browns Ferry fell
into the hands of the Union forces and
new line of communication between
the army and its base was affected. Be-
tween General Smith and Judge Veazey
there has always been the greatest init
macy, their friendship being cemented
by service in the same military family.
In 1862 Judge Veazey was made colonel
of the Sixteenth Vermont regiment, and
as the commander of that regiment won
great credit, his regiment forming a part
of thu command of General G. j. STAN
nard, which not only checked the famous
Longrtreet charge on the last day at
Gettysburg, but annihilated the division
of General Pickett who commanded the
advance line of the charging column
Upon the muster out of his regiment
Judge Veazey returned to the practice
of his profession, being associated in
business for awhile with Secretary of
War Proctor. He was register of bank
ruptcy for his Congressional district in
Vermont, reporter of the decisions OF
the supreme court of Vermont from 1864
to 1879, judge OF that court from 1875
until his appointment as an Interstate
| Commerce Commissioner in 1899. He has
been an active member of the Grand
| Army; was the pest commander of Rob
erts Post, of Rutland, VT, at its organi
cation in 1867, has been department com
mander Of that State, and was judge ad
vocate general on the staff of Judge Ray
when he was the commander in chief il
18S7-'8S. He has given his earnest at
tention to the affairs of the order ant
has attended it's grand encampments al

The Confederate Note.

The following poem has been widely
printed as waif without literary parent
age. The latest story about it was that
it was found in 1886 in Liberty county,
in the State of Georgia, written on
the back of a Confederate note. The
real author is Major s. G. Jonas, of Mis-
sissippi, who has for several years been
a confidential clerk to Hon. l. @. G. La
mar. The poem was written in 1865,
and is published in collection of South.
ern verses.
Representing nothing on Gods earth, now,
And naught on the waters below it,
As the pledge Of nation that dead and gone
Keep it, dear friends, and show it.
Show 1t to those who will lend an ear,
To the tale this trifle can tell,
OF liberty born Of patriots dream.
OF a storm-cradled nation that fell.
Too poor to possess the precious ores,
And too much of stranger to borrow,
We issued to-day our promise to pay,
And hoped to redeem on the morrow.
The days rolled by and the weeks became years
But our Golfers were empty still,
Coin was so rare that the treasury'd quake
liza dollar should drop in the till.
But the faith that was in US was strong. indeed,
And our poverty we'll we discerned,
And this little check represented the pay
That our suffering veterans earned.
We knew 1t had hardly value in gold.
Yet as gold each soldier received it;
1t gazed in our eye with a promise to pay.
And each Southern patriot believed 1t.
But our boys thought little Of peace or Of pay,
Or of bills that were overdue,
We knew il IL brought US our bread to-day,
Twas the best our poor country could do
Keep it: 1t tells all our history over,
From the birth of its dream to its last;
Modest, and borne of the angel Hope,
Like our hope Of success, it passed.
