FAILING CHIPS.

Too much care cannot be exercised
by people from the city in handling
their baggage in country villages
for very little slip will sometimes
leave bad impression. On the oc-
casion Of the recent visit here of a
coaching party from New York city,
during transfer of baggage at the
hotel, box dropped on to the
ground, and out therefrom rolled a
number Of poker chips. The quick
eye of a St. Johnsbury youngster
caught on to the vari-colored discs,
and he exclaimed 80 pa! just look
at those tiddledy-winks! !" And the
wise parent let the youngster go
right or calling it by that name.

AT THE ACADEMY.
BaccaIaureate Sermon.

commencement week began very
auspiciously on Sunday. The SER
mon before the graduating class was
given at the South church in the even
ing by Rev. DR.. c. E. Harrington of
Keene, N. H, and the usual large
audience was present.
The speaker selected John xii: 27
and 2S as his text and the discourse
that followed was among the best
ever heard on a similar occasion in
St. Johnsbury. He spoke of this
time as turning point in the lives of
those about to graduate; a time to
be pleasantly remembered for many
years to come. He emphasized the
Importance of starting in the life to
come with noble purposes and lofty
aspirations and urged them to enter
upon this life with fixed detetnina
ton to succeed, no matter what OBJ
stacles opposed. Cyrus w. Field was
regarded as fanatic and jeered at
by his friends while engaged in that
great enterprise of laying the first
Atlantic cable. Wendell Phillips was
compelled to submit to the insults and
abuses of a bowling mob for daring
to espouse the cause of freedom.
They were right, they knew they
were right and they dared to sacri-
flee everything, if need be, rather
than yield in the least degree against
their firm convictions. And, when
all was over, their labor was crowned
with the success that awaits all earn
est, Jealous workers.
The graduating class occupied
seats in front in the body of the
house. The pulpit and gas jets were
prettily decorated with ferns and
flowers and the appearance was very
fine

PASADENA STAR TWINKLES.

1t has been found that the grounds
upon which the suit of the Savings bank
of Southern California against this city
is brought are that the release of the
mortgage for $4,000 given by Mr.. Hunt
upon the sewer farm was not legal. Mr..
Hunt was secretary of the bank, and in
that capacity accepted final payment for
the farm and released the mortgage upon
the records. 1t is now claimed that as
he was an interested party by being the
mortgagor, he had no legal power to
effect the release and that he never ac-
counted to the bank for the $4,000. OF
course the city will resist this claim and
seek to show that the farm having been
paid for and the mortgage released, the
city has a clear title.
A party will be given next Tuesday
evening at the Wallace residence in ALI
hambra in honor OF Ben Wallace birth
day.
The date OF Gov. Sheldon's lecture on
the Genius of General Grant has been

was a close companion and friend of
Gen. Grant, and his lecture is full OF in
teresting personal "reminiscences.
Mr.. w. G. Bailey, of the Sun, Cold
