catching only glimpses of an occa-
sional policeman or a belated round
er, an early milkman or an enterpFis-
ing newsboy before the town gets up.
And whether he looks out through
cracked window panes or through
lace curtained French plate, the citi-
zen votes that it will be, like all Sun
days at the Capital, a dull day, that
is, he so votes if he be a worldly citi-
zen.
1t has come to be locally pro verb
Chat Washington is a dull town on
Sunday. The stray visitor from New
Orleans tells you so with many sighs
for the matinee, and the~Lake and
the shell road. The st. Louis man,
bitter from loss of the fair, endorses
him. The Cincinnati tourist longs
FOR his native hilltops. The New
Yorker is lost in astonishment. Washs
ington is voted a dull town on the
Sabbath.
To him who is not lost to the beau
ties of a May morning graciously
given to windy March, the suburbs
and the road houses beyond offer
some compensation. The wheelmen
know this and while the majority of
mankind stop at home and grumble
they are away over the hills, over
roads full of historic "reminiscences,
to Tenalytown, Bladensburg or an
cient Alexandria, fast asleep between
the sluggish Potomac and the Virgin
ia hills. 1t is ni9htfall before these
silent wheels again strike the magniii-
cent city streets, bringing a thousand
glimmering rows Of lanterns, like me-
teors, flashing through the shadows.
The citizen who goes abroad on
horseback, and he is generally accom-
panied by the citizeuess, enjoys the
day and has the additional advantage
of knowing that this fad is in full
fashion. There are few cities in this
country that contain more good rid
ers, perhaps no city of the same pop
ulation. The members of the foreign
legation set the style, and the riding
academies have done yeoman service
in developing the riding talent that
sumbered undeveloped in society.
What of the rest of mankind and
womankind who are not devoted to an
orthodox observance of the day and
who remain in town?
They walk hard and long. Up
Connecticut Avenue, out in George
town, about the hotels, down Penn
sylvania avenue, over on Capitol hill,
they wander like uneasy spirits.
Their chief summer joys, going down
the river on excursions and going up
the river rowing, are not yet open to
them. So they must needs walk.
The character of the crowds vary.
Between lower Pennsylvania avenue
and Connecticut avenue on a sunshiny
winter afternoon, there is the differ
ence between wealth and poverty, the
difference between content and mis-
erv, the difference between the ins
and outs. About the down town ho-
tells is a large sprinkling of shufliing,
shabby gentility, confident or abash
ed, the case may be, but obviously
shabby.

A movement is on foot 10 increase
the salaries of postal clerks, which
should meet with general approval.
1t is not to be doubted that this class
of public servants are the poorest paid
for the duties they perform, of any
in the United States service. Their
work IS difficult and constant. They
occupy the position of the forlorn
hope in the railway train, and are a
way from home the greater part of
the time. With the increased risk,
their expenses are also increased, for
which there is no allowance, and
their salaries range from $500 to
$1,000, which is the maximum, the
yearly compensation of the greater
number being less than $1,000. Still
the position is regarded as an office,
about which there is something fasci-
mating, and it is not to be doubted
when once in the service that most
men would wear themselves out iu it,
at present figures, if they could have
! their say.

NJ. J. Cheatham, who was hanged
at Grenada, Miss, Mar. 10, for the
murder of James Jillman, a colored
man, was the first white man ever
executed in this state for the murder
of a negro. Superhuman efforts were
made to secure a respite or commuta-
ton for the murderer, but the gov
ernor absolutely refused to interfere,
on the ground that the murder was
done in cold blood.

The ST. Johnsbury CaledOnia1a pub

letter written by Henry NJ. Stanley

it again this date of 1890. l have
brought exiles back to their homes ::
l have reunited parted families; l
have rescued those who were in sore

ed, say, The end crowns the work.
True, j am blanched and white, but
what matters it? have naught to re-

On Monday, the 18th inst, Prince
Bismarck rendered his resignation of
the chancellorship and at noon of the
following day the Emperor William
accepted the same. All the members
of the Prussian Ministry resigned at
the same time. Some difference of
opinion arose between the Emperor
and the Prince which led the latter to
take the step he has.
Prince Bismarck has been chancel-
lor of the German Empire since JAN
uary 10, 1871. and Minister of For
eign Affairs of Prussia since Septem-
Der %, 1862. His son, Count Her
bert Bismarck, has been secretary of
state for foreign affairs since 1888.
For some time it has been evident
that there was lack of harmony be-
tween the emperor and his chancellor,
but up to the present moment no open
conflict had taken place. How we'll
William II. can get along without
Bismarck remains to be seen.

Senator Stanford, who is generally
credited with good judgment in finan-
cial affairs, is in favor of the govern
ment loaning the farmers of the coun-
try money at one or two per cent in
terest per annum, and taking mort
cages upon their land for security.
The proposition has excited some
ridicule, but Mr.. Stanford believes it
practicable, and to be the best meth
cd of restoring prosperity to the de-
pressed agricultural interests. The
senator has already introduced res
olution instructing the senate finance
committee to inquire into the FEAST
bility of the plan.

The building Of suspension bridge
across the Hudson at New York con-
tinues to be agitated. 1t is the most
stupendous work ever talked about,
having promise of success. As ex-
planned by the engineer to a congress
ional committee the other day, it is
to be 145 feet above the water, OF ten
feet higher than the Brooklyn bridge,
with central span of 5000 feet and
towers 800 feet high, supporting cab
les four feet thick. The bridge will
accommodate ten railroad tracks. 1t
will be necessary to acquire 100000,
900 worth of property, and the esti-
mated cost of the bridge itself is put
at SIG, 100000; total SAG, 100000.
1t has been claimed by the rivals of
New York for the worlds fair that
the city is not 'railroad town. :"
When the proposed bridge is built it
will be.

The Burlington Free Press, which
might naturally be expected to cham
pion the cause of Lieut.. Gov. Wood
bury, is resorting to that questiona-
bic and unfair method of booming
its candidate, sometimes used where
there is a dearth Of good argument
or good men to be employed to do
the work. We refer to anonymous
letters.
Just now the field being operated
is Franklin and Lamoille counties.
If there are men in Lamoille coun-
ty who are opposed to the candidacy
of Mr.. Page, who is more to the bus
mess of that county than any other
man in it, why don't such men write
articles and give facts under their
own signature? An open, stand up
fight is honorable enough in discuss
ing men, but throwing mud in the
dark is both cowardly and contempt
ible.

of this matter the Washington cor
respondent of the Boston Journal
says that on Monday Mr.. Grout SAC
complished what has rarely been done
before. He disposed of all the dock
eted business of the district commit
tee without occupying all of the day
assigned by the rules of the house to
the business of that committee. He
thanked the house for the courtesy
shown" These are kind words for
the general, and his high standing as
a legislator should be appreciated by
his constituents.

The St. Johnsbury Republican is
out with a strong editorial endorsing
G.. S. Page for governor, and giving
some very good reasons why he would
make model executive. The Cal
edoniGn is, as yet, non committal on
the governor question, but thinks that
Gen. Grout should be his own sue
cessor in congress. The following
are some of the arguments used in
behalf of the General:
"He has represented this district
for four terms in manner highly
creditable to himself and the state.
Though not brilliant speaker he has
proved himself something far better

Prince Bismarck has resigned. 1t
will be remembered that at the close
of the last session of the Reichstag,
or rather Immediately after the disso-
luton of the same, he openly avowed
his determination to be relieved of
the special cares which developed
upon him in connection with the Prus-
sian kingdom. The avowal implied
that he was not only willing but re-
solved to cling with tenacity to the
management of imperial affairs.
The Prince it is manifest has chang
ed his mind, and it is now certain
that not only Prussia, but the Ger
man Empire, is to lose the benefit of
his invaluable services. The idea of
the German Empire, with Bismarck
alive, and in nowise prominent In its
counsels, is something almost beyond
comprehension. He more than any
other was instrumental in making it.
His influence has been useful in hold
ing it together. In the not distant
future, it may need his wisdom, his
experience and his strong hand more
than ever. He can have no desire
to leave the empire to its fate.
There must be some serious differ
ence between him and the Kaiser.
Some of them are due to Wilhelm's
methods generally; and some OF
them are no doubt due to the Kaiser's
labor reform movements. The rea
causes of difference will soon be
known. In the meantime we can af
ford to wait for a full explanation.

It Is a gratifying feeling among many
that their lives are above suspicion. Yet
how many good people on account Of cir
cumstantial surroundings have had the
finger Of unjust suspicion directed
toward them Carbuncles,' unyielding
sores, pimples on the face, rough skin hav-
ing an eruptive appearance, etc, are in the
eyes Of so many regarded suspiciously as
indicating the presence of some contagious
blood disease, and pointed questions asked
that are productive Of considerable annoy
ance. These skin blemishes and eruptive
tendencies Of course find their origin In the
blood, but not necessarily the result Of con-
tagion. The blood may have become inn
pure on account of colds and exposure, inn
proper food, weak digestion, urinary dis
orders, etc. However, it is well to remove
the unnatural condition Of the blood and the
flesh by a prompt use of DIR. John Bulls
Sarsaparilla. 1t regulates affairs internal
iy and externally, beautifies the skin and
restores impaired organic functions to their
normal strength and activity.

keeping Cider Sweet.

Cider to be kept unfermented should
be made as late in autumn as possible,
as it would be difficult to keep from fer
menting when made early in the season.
November-made cider. IL bunged up
tight and stored where a temperature
near the freezing point can be main
tanned, will probably keep sweet indefi-
nitely. Some people put in a half-pound
or a pound OF mustard seed to the barrel
of cider and others use sulphite of lime
in the same way. The old-time method
of scalding is considered by many peo-
pie one OF the best and leas. objections

fermented it should be drawn or dipped

ing to settle. into large copper kettles
or an old copper still, and be heated just
up to the boiling point and no longer,
when it should be again put into open
casks to settle and become cold. 1t will
then be ready to be tightly bunged in bar
rels and stored away. During the heat
ing large quantity of scum will rise to
the top to be SKINNED of. and during
the cooling most of the impurities still
held insolution will deposited as sedi-
ment in the bottom of the casks. While
cider thus created will afterwards taste
slightly of the scalding 1t will not be
unpleasant to those who like it sweet,
and is 10 be preferred to that in which
fermentation has been arrested by mus
tard seed or chemicals. This process
will stop fermentation at the right
pointto leave it sweet, and will quite
thoroughly cleanse it from impurities,
but will affect it unfavorably for max

sweet Potatoes.

A Texas market gardner claims that
sweet potatoes grown from vine cut
tings are smoother and nicer than those
grown from slips or sprouts. His
method of securing early sweet potatoes
is to gather the vines before frost has
injured them and hang them on pole.
the ends of which rest in crotches or
forks some two feet above the ground.
Cover the ends of the vines with moist
earth and throw straw, leaves or corn
stalks over the whole and protect from
the rain by good shed, with the north
side boarded up. As cold weather APP
proaches he, for better protection,
throws more soil upon the base of the
heap, and more straw on the upper por,
tion, leaving the south end or, better
still, the top, partly open during warm
spells for ventilation. This plan
(which is similar to banking the tubers)
will keep vines alive all winter and
ready for early planting in the spring.
