MIDDlEBURY FOR POWERS,

The largest and most exciting caucus
ever held in Middlebury within the menu
Ory of the oldest inhabitant was that of
Wednesday evening, when a solid delega-
ton for Judge Powers for congress man
was chosen. The preliminary canvass
had been thorough, ana the excitement
had run high. The voters began to
gather early III the evening and when
Judge Slade, chairman of the town com
mttee, called to order at 80 o'clock the
hall was full. The call having been
read, w. II. Bliss, Esq, on behalf of the
Powers men, nominated Hon. l.. ID. Ed
redge for chairman. w. w. Martin nom
mated Z. Fletcher Chapman. for the
and w. II. Bliss, w. w. Martin, C. II.
Williamson and f. IL. Thorp were made
telers. The count of votes showed a
total of 467, of which 234 were for Mr..
Chapman and 233 for Mr.. Eldredge, and
the choice of the former was announced.
Mr.. Chapman took the chair. E. H.
Thorp was chosen secretary.
Mr.. Slade suggested the caucus proceed
to choose delegates. Mr.. Bliss moved a
resolution "that it is the sense of this
caucus that Democrats are not qualified
to vote here and should not vote" 1t
was put to the vote and after two trials
the chairman declared that the noes pre-
vailed. Col. L. NJ. Chapman pronounced
the proceedings nefarious. There was
intense excitement and great uproar.
Chairman Chapman called for order and
when he had it, partially, announced
that the balloting for delegates would
begin. Mr.. Bliss moved that the caucus
adjourn. Chairman Chapman declared
the motion out of order. The ballot was
then taken amid great confusion. \
large number of supposed Democrats had
their votes challenged by the Powers
men and there were numerous warm de-
bates at the box over the question of
allowing one and another to vote. The
vote-E. ii. Thorp, Albert A. Fletcher
and f. p. Cushman, tellers-was as fol-

Poorly Paid Clerrymen.

The failure in business Of q prominent
clergyman suggests the fact that very
few preachers ever succeed in making
money. When they do the religion gen
orally oozes out as the dollars come in,
and they end by giving up ministerial
work altogether. Preachers, particular
ly Methodist preachers, are almost al
ways poor, and the next to them in point
of poverty are the Baptists. The major
ity of Methodist preachers in this coun-
try receive less than 5000 a year, while
the constant demands for charity greatly
diminish their incomes. Presbyterian
clergymen are better paid, while the
Church of England ministers, both here
and in Great Britain, fairly roll in
wealth by comparison.
Methodist bishops are poorly paid.
Those of the Methodist church south
have $4,000 salary, while those Of the
church north have a little more, but
none of them lays by anything of his
salary. Bishop Warren, of the church
north, is rich, having married the widow
of ranchman in Denver. But Bishop
Hendrix, of the Methodist church south,
enjoys the distinction of being the rich
est bishop in America, having inherited
n fortune which by careful manage
ment he has greatly increased. He has
the reputation of being both benevolent
and rich. To schools and colleges he is
especially liberal, and Central college. in
this state, owes its present prosperity to
his generosity. All the other southern
Methodist bishops are poor.-St Louis
Gioba-Democrat.

waiting for sam,

A man with eleven weeks Of wiry hair
and a long growth of beard stepped
Into a barber shop in one of our two
cities the other day and sat down
Probably he was not in his best mood
AT any rate he looked cross, even
though it WAS his next turn.
"Next, said the barber,
I'm wait for Sam, said the man with
the lair Hnd beard, and as he said it he
kicked at the dog and looked about as
pleasant as a circular saw in motion.
''All right, said the barber with EN-
phasis. Next
The next got into the chair and left
the man who was cross sitting by the
window, watching for Sam. Half an
hour passed, The sIop was full and
there seemed to be good deal Of Rmuse-
ment among all except the man who
was waiting for Sam. One by one the
customers kept coming in. The clock
hands passed from G:30 p. IN. to 1880 p. m, ,
and then TO 6:20 p. m. At about this
time the door opened and a head popped
in.
Heard from Sam YETI said the head.
Eyes, replied the barber
elbow is he; having good timer
"Guess he is. At any rate he says
he is.
when do you expect him homer
"n about three weeks"
The door slammed after the question
er, just as the man with the beard, who
was waiting for Sam, jumped to his
feet "Wh-what did you say:7 shout
ed he. Did you say sam wasn't com
ing for three weeksg"
The barber repressed his smile, and in
a voice that was low and even toned, he
said eyes, sir Sam is up country, and
we expect him back in about two weeks

A fight TO the death between two
blooded stations was the thrilling spec
tacle witnessed on Capt. 3. r. Trester's
farm at Aurora Ind. Two 3-year-old
stations, spirited and valuable thorough
breds, were turned into adjoining past
ures to feed A wooden fence divided
the fields, and although as colts the pair
playfully bit and kicked at each other
across it, the fence was supposed TO be
strong enough to keep them separate and
prevent trouble.
The colts began their fight over the
fence, and kicked and mawed at each
other until the fence was demolished.
Then they came together in struggle,
which for fierceness and length exceeded
anything which the spectators ever wit
messed.
They stood on their hind legs, fiercely
paving and striking at each other with
their iron shod forefeet, and tearing each

choking to death, but the smaller animal

The battle, lately so noisy, went on
fiercely in dead silence, except for the
thud of the feet Of the two equine glad

and more feeble, until finally it ceased

victor held his grasp upon his opponents

the more courageous of the spectators.
He ran few yards and dropped from

Although badly cut and bruised from
the teeth and hoofs of his foe, the living
animal survived the terrible conflict

browning and the Sea Captain,

Browning once asked the captain of
the vessel in which he was sailing from
Sicily to Naples to awake him in the
morning when they came in right of
Capri. The captain was astonished that
any one should wish to be summoned
out Of bed at an unearthly hour merely
to look at rocky island, and he asked
Mr.. Browning why he was so anxious to
see it. 1T is very interesting place to
me, said the poet; and he tried to con-
yey to the captain some conception of
the marvellous history of the Emperor
Iiberius and of his dark seclusion at
Capri, as the story stands ont in the inn
mortal picture Of Tacitus. The captain
listened open mouthed and next morn
ing, calling Mr.. Browning on deck, he
pointed to the island and said; ''There,
sir, is where the great Mogul livedl"-
