A great deal of nonsense has been
talked about the question of whose
place it is to bow first when lady
and gentleman meet upon the street
or in any public assembly.
1t is very absurd to say that man
should always wait until a lady has
recognized him. In this, as in most
other matters, common sense and mu-
tual convenience are the only guides.
Many ladies are near sighted, many
others find great difficulty in remem-
bering faces. Are they, because of
these drawbacks, to be always debar-
red of the pleasure of a chance meet
ing with some agreeable man?
The important thing of course is
that man should not presume; that
for instance, he should not speak to a
lady to whom he has been merely in
troduced, unless she shows some sign
Willingness to continue the acquaint-
ance Not to lift his hat to her with
Difference would be rudeness, but he
should not stop to speak unless she
makes the first movement in that di-
rection.
When two people meet who are re-
ally acquainted, it is not the man who
should necessarily bow first, or the
lady it is whichever of them is the
first to perceive and recognize the
other.
If lady is walking and meets a
man whom she knows well, and who
desires to speak with her, he will of
course not commit the awkWardness
of keeping her standing in the street,
but if he has time will beg permission
to join her for few moments and
walk beside her long enough for a
brief chat.
The lady, on her part, will make it
easy for him to leave her when they
have exchanged the few pleasant sem
fences that belong to such a meeting
Don't be discouraged about that eczema till
you have given Ayers Sarsaparilla persist
ent trial. Six bottles of this medicine cured
the complaint of George S. Thomas, of Ada,
Ohio, when all other remedies failed to afford
any relief.

SMALL ROPES HOLD MIGHTY

A Cunarder put out from England
for New York. 1t was we'll equipped,
but in putting up a stove in the pilot
house nail driven too near the COM
pass put the ship 200 miles off her
right course, and suddenly, the man
on the lookout cries, Gland, ho!" and
the ship was halted within a few
yards of her destruction on Nantucket
Shoals A six-penny nail came near
wrecking a great Cunarder.
A minister, seated in Boston at his ia
BILE, lacking word, puts his hands be-
hind his head and tits back his chair
to think, and the ceiling falls and
brushes the table, and would have
crushed him. A minister in Jamaica
at night, by the light of an insect call
ed the "candle fly" is kept from step
ping over a precipice of hundred
feet. F. w. Robertson, the celebrated
Englishman, said that he entered the
ministry from a train of circum-
stances started by the barking of dog.
Had the wind blown one way on
certain day the Spanish inquisition
would have been established in Eng
land, but it blew the other way, and
that dropped the accursed institution,
with $4,000 tons of shipping, to the
and splintered logs on the rocks.

HOnLu q Felu Words.n

"Onlv a few words-nothing more"
He moaned as he stood at the pastors door,
For early that morn at the break of day
His only son had passed away,
Crossed the river, and who shall know
The depth of sorrow, of anguish, and woe
That wrung these words from his hearts deep
care,
ssOnly a few words-nothing more
"Onlv a few words-nothing MORE"
Crushed by his grief, he whispered it DER
As though in doubt what the preacher might
say,
OF this loved son now passed away,
For his loved boy once fair and bright,
Had Joined the revel far into the night
And passed out into the shadows dim
Just from the winecup's rudy brim.
"Only a few words-nothing MORE"
Sadly he turned to leave the door
When raising his hand white and thin
He pointed to a neighboring inn
Saving "Sir-it was a dreadful day
He went to the tavern across the way
But speak of him kindly implore,
Only a few words-nothing more"
My boy-my son-will you listen, pray
Don't go to the ''taverns across the way
Call no one your friend who will hand the cup
That shall chain your soul you drink it up.
Shun the rough paths where drunkards go,
Carry the sunshine, not sorrow and woe,
Don't have it said when you launch from the
shore,
'.Only a few words-nOthing more"

A Relic.

On the wall above the mantel
There's an ancient weapon hung,
Tarnished, dusty, old and rusty,
Springfield pattern, sixty
And the spiders, all unconscious
OF its power, upon it crawl,
And have webbed it, breach and muzzle
Where it hangs upon the wall
Could it speak 'twould tell a story
That would startle young and old,
Tales of long and weary marches
Could that weapon true unfold,
Tales of battle, tales of carnage
That would blanch the bravest check,
From Bull Run to AppomatOx,
Could that ancient weapon speak.
Dear indeed is that old musket,
1t had sure voice long ago,
Not friend so true and trusty
On the field to meet the foe.
Then it spoke and to purpose,
Fiery was the tale it told,
Leaden was the fearful message
From that weapon grim and old.
And l love it-who can blame me?
1t and were closest chums,
Old and rusty, tried and trusty,
Best of all your make of guns.
Comrades dead and comrades living,
1t reminds me of you all;
Elbows touch whene'er view it
As it hangs upon the wall.
Brings again your happy faces
From that distant long ago,
When we faced the storm and battle
On the field to meet the foe.
On the wall above the mantel
There's an ancient musket hung,
Tarnished, dusty, worn and rusty,
Springfield pattern, sixty-one.

FOLLOW COPY.

Printers have a rule that every COM
positor must follow the copy in print
ing any paper or book.
A short time ago a lad in printing
office received from his master list
of Scripture questions and answers to
be set up and printed. In the progress
of the work the lad turned aside and
asked the foreman if he should " follow
copy" that is set it up as it is writ
ten. "Certainly," said the foreman;
"why not?' because the copy is not
like the Bible, and it processes to be the
language of the Book" CHOW do you
know it is not like the Bible?" Sir, [
learned some of these verses at Sun
day-schOol ten years ago, and know
that two of them are not like the BIZ
b1e.' ''Well, then, do not follow copy
but set them up as they are in the BIZ
ble'' The lad got the Bible and made
it "the copy" his guide and pattern.
"Follow copy" boys and girls,
wherever you find it according to the
Bible, but do not stir when you find it
differs. Through all your life mabe
the Bible your one copy. Look to your
words, your doctrines, and your prac-
tees; see that all are according to the
Bible, and you will be right. Take
nothing for your rule, either in relig-
ious or in daily life, but what is like
that great, unerring and divinely writ
ten copy.

In musical colleges, where children
beginning to learn practice for eight
hours mostly on the middle strings,
the piano wears unevenly and is quick
ly beaten out of tune. Exposure to
damp air and draughts will cause the
strings to rust and the keys to stick;
hard and unreasonable pounding,
which is not playing, may put piano
out of tune. The greatest abuse with
which piano has to contend, accord
ing to the best authorities, is the ex-
posure to dry heat from furnaces and
anthracite stoves. This causes the
wood parts to shrink and the sound
ing board to relax and lose its power,
the action rattles and the whole instru-
ment becomes inharmonious and dis
cordant.

The following is a translation of a
Chinese joke: Two brothers cultivated
the same plot of land. One day the
eldest, on leaving to get the dinner
ready, called to his brother to come
with him. He, however, shouted out,
at the top of his voice, ''Wait until I
have hidden my spade, and then l
will Gomez While they were having
their meal the other reproached him
bitterly for this indiscretion. "When
one hides thing,'' said he, tone ought
to preserve silence, or at any rate not
speak above a whisper, for in shouting
as you did just now one invites people
to steal" Dinner over, the younger
brother returned to the field, looked
for his spade and found it gone. So
running to his brother he whispered
mysteriously in his ear, ''My spade is
stolen!"

A Russian letter says: A curious and
unusual sight has just been witnessed
by the inhabitants of Bjelgorod in the
south of Russia. A few days ago an
enormous flight of eagles was seen to
f1v past the town and settle in an adj
iacent forest. The WOOdmen who
were in the forest at the time fed in
dismay from the place. It's well they did
taken their departure, it was found
that they had devoured ten horses,
several sheep, and vast number Of
smaller animals. The ground where
they alighted was strewn with feathers,
and all the birds of the neighborhood
have been so terrified that they have
flown away. Only one of the eagles
was caught-a bird of immense size and
belonging to a Siberian species. The
eagles, which were several hundreds
in number, flew away in Southwestern
~ direction. The peasants who saw
this remarkable sight state that there
were so many of them that for the
space of several seconds their wings
hid the sun from their sight. -Scien

passage of a single thread; all the
threads, to the amount of 1, 900 to each

Glover Bow.

GLOVER Boy is one of the most perfect hors-
es in Northern Vermont. Our country is flood
ed with small horses of little value. Such
horses not in great demand. Horses of
100 lbs. with good style and action, will al
ways be in demand at high prices. 1t costs
but few dollars more at the start to raise
colt to bring $500 to $500 at four years old,
than to raise one that can never bring more
than half that at the same age. He is a beau
tiful bay, with black points, 10 hands high and
weighs over 200 lbs. He has taken first pre-
MUM at Caledonia and Orleans County Fairs.
GLOVER Boy sired by Prince Albert, Jr.,
his dam Thoroughbred Bulrush Morgan. He
was formerly owned in Cookshire, p. O., and
has since been taken to Brookline, near Bos-
ton. Prince Albert was Thoroughbred Eng
lish, and imported by the Drummond Agri-
cultural Society at cost of $4,000, and was
noted for style, durability and speed. The
Bulrush Morgan is breed of horses usually
weighing 100 lbs, and are noted the best
farm horses, superior roadsters, and for COM
ing to maturity from one to two years young
er than the average horse. GLOVER Boy is
fifteen years old; was raised by James Dow of
Glover, VT, and sired by Henry Whitney's
horse of Glover. GLOVER Boy will stand the
season of 1891 at my stables near West Burk.

Hampson, in his "Medii EVI. Kali

tradition from an old Saxon treatise:-
"Some assert that the bissextus orleap
day comes through this, that Joshua
prayed to God that the sun might stand
still for one days length, that he might
sweep the heather from the land that
God had granted him and his followers.
1t is true that the sun did stand still
for one days length over the city of
Gideon, but the day went forward in
the same manner as other days. And
the bissextus is not through that, as
some do Think In France and some
parts of Spain and Portugal there exists
a tradition known as ''the ghost Ofleap
year. "sBelievers in this say thata mar
vellous monster annually appears on
leap day and disarranges human affairs

IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

The following clipping from the San Francisco Eraminsr of the Sd shows the importance of this meeting:
 "A good many prominent men of the State are getting ready to attend the big Pacific Coast Irrigation Congress at Salt Lake City, beginning on the 18th inst, when an organized movement will be begun to secure the cession of arid government lands to the several Vest ern States and Territories. for reclama- tion and for the benefit of the school funds. The Southern Pacific Company yesterday decided to carry delegates free from all points in this State and Oregon to Ogden and return for the fare one way. This congress was officially called by the Governor of Utah, who re- quested the Governors of all the States and Territories on the coast, including Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico, to appoint thirty delegates each. Gov. Markham completed his appointments three or four days ago."
 It is unnecessary to enlarge on the benefits that would accrue to Arizona should the arid land be ceeded to her by the general government for school purposes. ....-. ..

TEE Dsmocratil constitution makers start in by an utter disregard of our or ganic act. and they emphasize that dis regard by selecting Mir. Dennis, of Mojave, as chairman of the Committee on Credentials. The organic act, section 1854, provides: "No member of the Legislative Assembly of any Territory now organized shall hold or be ap- pointed to any office which has been created or the salary or the emoluments of which have been increased, while he was member during the term for which he was elected and for one year after the expiration of such term" MT. Dennis was a member of the last Legis- lature and his taking part in this con- vention is an absolute violation of law. However, small matters of this kind should not be expected to bother or dinary Democrats. A constitution born of violation of law can hardly be ex- pected to be very high toned one. Our Republican members should have been present to enter their objections if only for record.

ANSWER OR QUIT.

In yesterdays REPUBLICAN is another la bored attempt to bolster up the notorious Fiji teenth Legislative Assembly. The esteemed "contempo" affects to answer our article of the day before, in which the illegality of that as- sembly was proven, by calling us General -" and rounding up lot of sentences with 70" and by complaining that we have said something about it "wallowing in political flth." Now we never said it. The RxPUBLI- CANS whole article is the same old ground plowed up before and does not touch the posi- tion taken by the '"Gazette." If the REPuB- LIcAN will give us something to answer, we will answer and "come again, neighbor."
 The above is from Sundays Gazette. and the following is our "labored" ar- ticle referred to:
 Yesterdays Gazette" says: "The eleventh session, which held over the sixty days, wa illegal, and every member in that Legislature knew it." This is not direct answer to our question. We asked whether the act that changed the time from the first to the second Monday was or was not legal? We also ask that If that act was not legally passed (ss implied by the above quotation), then when is the legal day for our Legislature to meet?
 We again call on the Gazette to an swer these two questions. We did further say, and we now repeat: It may appear peculiar that instead of "shoveling" us up it is forced on the defense the first rattle out of the box, for it now appears that a majority of the Democrats of the Eleventh are ad- mitted to be the original anarchists" or "revolutionists."
 We understand that great effort is being made by leading Democrats to prevent the Gazette from making a di- rect reply to our above two questions. which accounts for the absurd and redic- ulous editorial above quoted.
 The apology to our Supreme Court contained in the above editorial is some what obscure, still the denial of having made charge is the admission of the untruthfulness of the charge, and as the Gazette now denies, saying that the Supreme Court was by us "wallowed in our political filth" We will tear up that number of the Gazette, Sunday, August 30, containing the charge and wipe it off our slate. Does the Gazete also deny it's intention to "shovel up our gubernatorial record" or is the weather too hot for hard work.
 The great bluff made few days ago has dwindled down to a very thin squeak of "Now we never said it." General
 - has evidently taken to the high weeds.
