The recent change in the editorial
MANAGEMENT of the Express and
Standard has caused a few papers to
hint ti1at politics was at the bottom
of the transaction, and that the GU
bernatorial question would soon be
made interesting by that sheet. The
new editor puts a quietus upon that
idea in this manner:
"This paper has no particular can
didate for Governor, and will favor
the one, other things being equal
whose nomination will best promote
the harmony and success of the re
publican party"

Dear Sir:-After careful considera-
ton of all the names suggested, |
have decided to appoint you u. s.
Senator to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Hon. Geo. +. Ed
munds.
Primarily | deem it my duty to
satisfy my own Judgment as to what
selection would best promote the wei
fare of Vermont, and of the whole
country. But | have at the same
time felt that l was acting largely in
a representative capacity and that
if, without doing injustice to my own
Judgment, could meet the wishes OF
a large majority of the people of Yer
mont, it would be my duty and
pleasure SO to do.
| have with considerable care
sought and received, personally and
by letter, the views of prominent Yer
monters in every county in the State
The result of my investigation leaves
me in no doubt as to official duty
If therefore, on the first day of No
vember next it should be incumbent
on me to fill the vacancy referred to
| propose to tender you the appoint
ment.
| inform you of my decision at this
time, not only because | believe yor
should have reasonable notice of my
intention, but because, having reach
ed the above conclusion, [ cannot SEE
that thepublicgood will be subserveC
by further discussion.
With much respect, | am,
Yours truly,

 The possessor of the seat was up in a moment.

 Colder than youl" retorted the other; Il beg n thousand pardon for contradicting my elder, but in deed, madam, you are mistaken Keep your seat"
 But am sure you arc older than l."
 And am equally sure that am not. Win you be good enough to re- sume your place?"
 Not while an older woman stands"
 The situation was growing inter setting but though allsmiled, no one seemed moved to relieve matter offering a sacond seat. by
 Both old women were pretty well warmed up by this time. First one sniffed and then the other, as old ladies sometimes will when sorely tried.
 The vacant seat was still before them. Finally an overture of peace came from the owner ot the seat, the last speaker.
 Il don't want to be disagreea ble, madam, and if I'm older than you I'll sit down. Let's tell our ages and the older yields
 The aggrieved woman did not rel ish this much, but the pressure of an audience forbade a retreat.

 Il was born in March, lS17. And you?"

A Delightful Woman,

Miss kate Cummings, who lives with herparents on a farm in Winneba 20, Wis, can beau any man in the county moving hay. She wears boots and waterproof, with felt hat and linsey- woolsey dress, and mounted on the moving machine she Is as handsome as liebe. Kate has had q great many admirers. and the admirers have had n great many difficulties to overcome, says the New York N orld.
 One of them had the audacitv to swear out warrant for her arrest on the charge ofassult with malicious intent Rufus Sloan was hirod by Mir. Cummings for harvest work, and while turning the new-mowm hayhe fell in love with Kate Every time she came around on her chariot, pushing her sickel a little farther into the standing grain, Rufus would take his hat of and throw handful of kisses at her. The young lady did not like this performance, and told him so.
 Then Rufus asked her to pull upas he had something to say 10 her. She drew the horses in, pushed her red hair behind her ears, and with fire in her blue-gray eyes, said;
 "Well3"
 Then Rufus planted his pitchfork in the stubble for rest, told her he wanted u wife, and offered her the position. She curled up her nose. wrinkled her brow with scorn. and answered.
 "iou9' BahV'
 This was too much for Rufus who lahbed her in the side with his pitch fork. Kate screamed, the horses start. ed. In his excitement the swain got on the sickle side of the mower.

A Short Chapter on theMoose.

There are threo species of the deer kind oi animals, which are explained as follows for Little Men and Wom- en- the moose, the deer and cari. bou. The largest is the moose. Sometimes they are as large as the largest horses. They hav Q heavy, lofty horns, or antlers . these spread out in shape like the open fingers of the hand. They shed these horns once n year. usually in February. They add one new prong every year, beginning when two years old, so by counting the horns you can tell how old moose is. The horns are not shed all at one time, but comes off one by one as the moose rubs against trees.
 The moose is called the most no- ble animal of the forest. In the state Of Maine the white pine is called the finest and most noble of forest trees. So the moose and the pine tree are on the shield in the coat of arms as the great seal of the state of Maine.

 That is true, the iaier said. Tt is a bargain.
 Great was the astonishment of the French general to receive a note dat ed from the prison at Utrecht. And what did the note contain?
 A simple explanation, about the spider, who had not appeared for three days, and the writer's head ache. Within a week he predicted a hard frost and implored Pichegru not to fall back.
 The general knew Dis Jonval; he resolved to wait week, and then. true prophet, o spiderl there came the hardest frost that Holland had known for 100 years. The waters were bound with an icy chain. The French advanced, Utrecht fell and Dis Jonval was released. To the spiders warning the prisoner oi Utrecht owed his release.
