ON WHAT TO TALK.

Canton Repository.
"Governor Campbell could interest his
hearers more if he eschewed talking on
tariff, subject he has not mastered, and
confined his remarks to his State admin
istration. He might talk on topics
something like these: why Ny Ad
ministration Has Been so Costly why
| Removed Reemelin.' Why Sanction
ed Ripper Legislation Or he might
review his record in Congress on silver
But he is out of his element in tariff
discussion. His speeches on that sub
ject give ample evidence of this fact"

ANECDoTE OF BEECHER.


Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher
My first meeting with Henry Ware
Beecher was in the early part of May
1880. He was classmate of brothe
of mine in Amherst College. At that tim,
young Beecher was not quite II years
old, but so boyish was his appearance,
that no one would have thought him
more than 15-an age when boys are
usually awkward and painfully bash
full. For that reason my family feared
we might not be able to entertain OF
make the young man comfortable. But
awkward he never was, and his roguish
mouth, his laughing, merry eyes, his
quaint humor, and his quick repartet
soon diSpelled all such anxiety. Be
| fore the first evening he spent at our
house had passed none of the family
felt him to be stranger. When at
length the "good nights" were exchang-
ed left father and mother by the fire
while | made some preparations for
breakfast.
AS returned to the room father was
saying:
"Well, he is smartl He'll make his
mark in the world if he lives"
"Who, father?" l asked.
"Why, that young Beecher.
When Beecher proposed marriage to
Miss Ballard he was II. My mother
was grieved but my father was angry.
"Why, you were couple of babies" he
said. "You don't know your own minds
yet, and won't for some years to come"
His youth and the idea of a seven years
engagement, with the very natural fear
that before the time expired he might
repent of his imprudence, were fathers
only objections. My father was drawn
to Henry Ward Beecher from the first
evening he was with us, and his manly
way of pleading his cause in this case,
gave father clearer insight into the
strength and nobleness of his character
than he had received from their former
intercourse, and when young Beecher
left, after the interview, my father said |
to mother: "Boy as he seems, he will be
true to our daughter; have no fears on
that score"
"The next year." continues Mrs
Beecher, 81 was with an aunt in North
bridge, Mass, resting after a long ses- !

Death of Miss Nellie Nc Mahou.

On Tuesday evening March 1st Nellie
Nc Mahon departed this life, surrounded
by bereaved father and sorrOwing broth
ers and sisters. She was the youngest
daughter of Daniel Mcmahon, an old and
well known resident of this town. De-
ceased was born in Bennington Centre
and was in her DIST year. Until few
years ago she was a pupil of the Sisters
of st. Joseph, and four years ago under
their direction she became member of
Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
She was good and faithful member, and
the fervent piety and beautiful virtues
instilled into her young mind by the
good sisters remained with her to the
last, and made her beloved by all who
knew her. She had sweet and amiable
disposition, that won the hearts of her
associates in the mill where she worked
during the past year. They testified
their affection and sympathy by beauti-
full pillow composed of smilax and white
roses; and also white silken banner
cite, with the beautiful inscription, "a
Child of Mary" and an appropriate
verse, painted in delicate colors.
Nellie had suffered from heart trouble
for some time, and was taken sick Mon
day night previous to her departure.
She gradually grew worse during the
week: and on Saturday she received the
Sacraments, and continued to sink all
day Sunday. About ten o'clock in the
evening, her pure soul went forth to re-
ceive the reward promised by the Divine
Lord to his faithful servants. Her cas-
ket was ashes of roses colored plush, and
she was laid out in beautiful white
robe, wearing the blue ribbon and
liver medal of the Immaculate Concep-
ton and white veil, the Insignia of the
Sodality. She looked pea e'ul and
happy.
The funeral took place from her late
residence on Mill street, and was one of
the most imposing ever seen in Benning-
ton. The members of the Solidity, num-
bering nearly one hundred, led the pro-
cession headed by their beautiful banner,
heavily draped; then came the remains
borne by twelve pail bearers. These
were C. j. Mcmahon, F. L. Nolan, Il. c..

0'Dea, +. j. Grennan (her first cousins),
then came the sorrowing relatives fol
lowed by a large concOurse of sympa-
thizing friends.
AS her remains were borne down the
aisle Of the church, all present were
moved to tears. The mortal part of our
beloved friend lies in the little cemetery
on the hill. over which the sad March
winds whisper their requiems. Thither
will our thoughts often wing their flight,
and with each fight sincere prayers will
ascend TO the Throne of Heaven for the
repose of her soul May the light of
heaven cast a soft lustre over the gloom
that shadows the hearts of her aged
father and grief stricken brothers and
sisters.
A gloom has settled around Us,
And our hearts are sad TODAY,
For she has lett our number,
And passed from earth away.
Passed where the angels welcomed
Her spirit to the eternal shore
And we know a pain end sorrow
Are with her fol ever Ger.

The story is that one day not long ago
a Baker" and peddler, the latter a
native of Syria perhaps, a recent arrival
no doubt, and rather fresh withal,
that is in English as spoken by us, met
at our hotels" 1t being too late in the
week for doughnnts and "chickeus," the
Baker" had nothing to exchange fOI
some of the others merchandise which
he very much desired. 1t transpired
however the next morning that the
Baker" had secured the much coveted
articles which he had no money TO buy
and the jeweller went away disconsOlate.
The question is, did the peddler receive
an equivalent.
The programme prepared by the
selectmen for annual town meeting was
taken up and fully rendered last Tuesday
its cast of characters having been selected
the Monday evening before. 1t is hoped
that those elected will learn some wis
by their experience in Office, and not bS
made "maniacs" by their excessive load
Of honors. The issue was narrowed
down to bridge or no Bridge and Ia
Highway Surveyors or road commits
sioners." No bridge prevailed and to the
supernumeraTy list of "leather inspector
was added that defunct and useless hum
bug, formerly known as 'pathmasteT.
The meeting was characteristic in many
particulars, that is it was not too sober.
We congratulate ourselves that as yet
POwnal unlike Bennington was not re
guired 10 put any of her voters int,

was, largely on account of the census and
this happy circumstance may have been
due to the doctors" Who can tell?

We are sorry to learn that Oliver
Green. Of SALISBURY, an old veteran OF
the Vermont Cavalry, is quite sick at his

and typhoid fever. He was for long
time confined in Libby and Anderson

More than usual preparationsare being
made for the entertainment to be given
in the parlors of the Congregational
church next Wednesday evening, the

of ten cents.
There will be several changes in our
village the first of April, the most i'm
portant perhaps, being the occupancy of
the Bennington House by p. II. Nc

house in the past being good one, and
such being guarantee of the one in the
future.
The literary circle, consisting largely
of ladies, met on Friday evening last
with Mrs. Hiram Cole at the house of
her mother, Mrs. C. f. Houghton.
There WIS a good attendance and the
programme made upon Shakespeare
julius Caesar, was of more than ordinary
interest. The particulars of the play
were presented by one of the members,
and as the more exciting parts were
reached in the narrative, quotations,
shorter or longer which had been previ-
ously arranged, were read by different
ones. so that the choicest portions of it
were brought out. Afterwards a sketch
of the life of the celebrated poet was
given by one, and a short essay upon the
dramatists of the period of Queen Eliza
beth, by another, which, with a sketch
of Antony, and of one, who in the opin-
ion of the essayest, was the hero and
most important characters, Brutus, with
the reasons therefor, very fully presented
the matters of largest moment connected
with the great subject.
Geo. II. Bruffee will occupy the house
owned by II. d. Hall, on Church street,
