Trials of an Author.

There came to man who has had q
success in literature which we should
envy did we not all agree he deserves it,
a lady who was neither young nor fair,
but who had the assurance of youth in
combination with the obstinacy of ad-
yancing years.

that must earn my living by writing
poems sent a poem to the Blank
Magazine, and they returned it with a
printed slip. Now, | want you to write
to the editor, and tell him that he made
a mistake"
1t naturally seemed to the author that
he had to deal with humorist or mad
woman; but the lady was certainly in
earnest and apparently sane. He en-
deavored to show her that it was not his
business to interfere with the decisions
of the editors of magazines, who might
be supposed to know their own business.
The lady insisted, however, and in the
end he was forced to decline point blank
to do what she asked Thereupon she
turned upon him and declared that he
was one of those who endeavor to keep
others out in order that they may have
the field to themselves, and who are
meanly jealous of other authors who are
sure to eclipse them if they are but
heard

The Farmers Advocate in speak.
ind of the farmers meeting, held to-
day at the State capital says:
"Every speaker so far engaged for
leading parts in addresses and dis
is an actual farmer"
Among these speakers the Advo-
cate places Geo. W. Hooker. 1t is
astonishing that so intelligent a pa
per should fall into such an error.
Hooker is an actual farmer in the
same sense that Levi X. Fuller is a
battle-scarred veteran. Both are
political self-seekers and dealers in
taffy, the one for the farmer and the
other for the old soldier, and farmers
meetings will never amount to row
of corn fodder until such fellows are
eliminated from the ranks of their

On Monday last several important
changes occurred among the Central
Vermont railroad officials, notably the
resignation of j. W. Hobart as gen.
eral manager of that road, also the
resignation of G. H. Clark as bridge
engineer for the same line. Mr..
Hobart, who had been in the service
of the company for 43 years, in va
rious capacities, is succeeded by
Edward G.. Smith, a son of ex-Gov.
j. Gregory Smith, who will assume
the duties of that Office in connection
with his position as vice-president,
the former Office being abolished.
Mr.. Smith is young man of 81 and
will undoubtedly prove valuable ac-
QUESTION to the interests of the road
represented by him. Mr.. Clark, for
32 years in the employ of the COM
pany, is succeeded by H. H. Jones
who is to have charge of all bridges
and buildings, except on the Rutland
and New London Northern Divisions.

Look to Your Gimme vs.


Editor SITTER: Mention was made
not long since in your paper of the
burning out of a chimney at the Par
sonage and the danger attending it..
Yesterday like occurance took place
in this village which, doubtless, would
have proved serious had not steps
been taken in the nick of time to pre-
vent it. The question is again forced
nnon us: Should we not give more
ala ion to our chimneys Should
w at clear them out instead of pre-
3 them TO burn out as it is most
pnly the practice !? We will
give lie readers of the SITTER a de-
. .a.ipg g.on of a method used in some
parts Of Mass. Two persons are re-
quired to do the work. One should
go on to the roof with rope of suf-
ticient length that when held by the
one end will reach the lower
hue of the chimney. The second per
son should be at said fue and after a
spruce bush has been attached to the
rope at the top of the chimney, he
should draw it down the chimney.
The bush should be of sufficient size
to fill the chimney and be drawn up
and down until the chimney is well
cleaned. If this method should be
practiced both fall and spring of each
year, less buildings would be burned.

Old Man Army OF Alliance Said to be a
Complete Wreck.
While the members of the Sewerage
Commission were in Columbus yesterday
they took time to visit the State Penten-
tiary, and while there they had short
talk with L. L. Army, who was sent up for
life last fall for rape. They found him
completely broken down and wreck of
his former self, although it has only been
a few months since he was incarcerated.
He divides his time between the broom
making department and the hospital, but
as his misery is augmented two fold when
he has nothing to do but keep company
with his thoughts he struggles to keep on
his feet as long as possible. Major Can
tine says that it was difficult for him to
realize that il was the same Army that less
than year ago was a well-known resi-
ident of this city. The air of bravado that
he attempted to support while on trial at
Canton, had completely disappeared, and
he seemed utterly crushed. His face was
as pallid and attenuated as that of o
corpse, and while trying to talk to his
visitors his voice frequen n.ly choking with
emotion and he finally broke down and
cried like child. 1t was a trying scene
and reprobate that he was his old ac-
uuaintances could not help feeling keen
sympathy for his pitiable condition. AL

Did he Say itP

Chas. Bush informs the Review that
in conversation with several Of the State
Solons at Columbus yesterday, he gained
the assurance that 1t was entirely useless
for Canton to attempt to foist any memor-
ialbuilding project on the county-that the
Assembly would set down on it hard, pro-
test or no protest. The Right Rev. Dres-
bach has so far receded from grace as to
be able to emphasize his sentiments on
the question in very vigorous manner
and he is said to have remarked that she
would be teetotally d. IL he would
support any such Canton steal" This
settles it. Col. Clark should prepare to
collapse Alliance Review.
