THE LATEST NOVELTIES.

Crushed morocco is the very newest ma
terial for covering bags and all fancy leather
goods.
The very latest in photograph frames are
those that show combination of tortoise
shell and silver.
Decidedly unique are the new spoons, the
chased hands of which are pierced until
they produce quite a lacelike effect
The long chains of twenty odd years ago
have returned to us, and with them comes
the old slide chain with jeweled slide.
A novelty in cigarette cases is shaped like
a portmanteau, opening in the center and
disclosing it's contents neatly packed on
either side.
Costly trifles are bonbon dishes in silver.
Modern patterns are heart shaped with
pierced borders. Silver shells are also used
as bonbon trays.
The very latest in cut glass scent bottles
has silver bird perched on the stopper.
On pressing the latter the bird emits a
spray of perfume from its beak.
The watch is making itself quite at home
in all sorts of odd places. We find it in
umbrella handles, the tops of inkstands, in
calendars, and hidden away in the heart OF
rose pendants.
In much of the new jewelry, diamonds
and pearls have changed places, pearls
forming the piece de resistance of the or
nament and the diamonds serving as al
enhancement of their beauty.
A convenience for the smoking room is
the self adjusting lamp in silver. 1t comes
in various forms, in all of which the ar

ARMY AND NAVY NOTES.

Horseshoes of compressed paper have
been introduced into the artillery and cav
airy of the German army.
The German government has resolved to
spend S12,0OO,000 on three new armored
| ironclads, four dispatch boats and thirty
| eight torpedo boats.
The Argentine Republic has recently
added to its navy six first class torpedo
boats of almost identically the same type
and size as the Gushing.
Messrs Yarrow, of Poplar, England, are
| building a fast torpedo vessel for Austria,
| and five torpedo boats are being built of
| the fifty-six ton Schichan type.
1t is stated that as result of recent ex-
periments several Italian warships are to
| be altered to enable them to burn petro-
leum in their furnaces instead of COAL
| The introduction of the magazine rife
into the British navy has been decided
upon. This rifle will soon undergo tests at
Springfield, Mass, with view to its intro
duction into the American service
| Canister shot will not be used in the
French army in the future. The shells are
| filled with an explosive made of chrysolite
and a substance kept secret, and every bat
terry has seventy-five rounds of these pro-
jectiles.
| Although the United States navy is very
''hard up' for seamen, the rigidity of the
examinations through which candidates
must pass is in no way diminished. The
number of candidates who are rejected
very much exceeds those accepted.
The Turkish government has been for
some time contemplating Improvements in

Our Democratic friends have set
up two idols, Cleveland and free sill

the people their homage. Now that
these idols are at swords points it
will be curious to watch the course of
events. 1t will be found impossible,
this time, for this party to bow the
knee to both idols at one and the
same time. Riding two horses, at
once, going at break-neck speed in
opposite directions will prove too
much even for the lofty tumbling

The political news of the past week
has been exciting and full of interest.
First came the publication of letter
written several months ago by Henry
Watterson to Gov. Hill, wherein the
editor of the Courier-Journal talks to
David like a father and tells him of
few unpalatable truths that have
stirred the Democracy from center to
circumference. AS if to add to the
tempest, about the same time ex-
President Cleveland comes out in a
letter taking solid grounds against
the free coinage craze. And lastly
comes Senator Mathew Stanley
Quay, who on Tuesday in the Senate
reviewed the charges that for mon tbs
have been made against him and en-
tered an emphatic denial. What may
come next no man knoweth.

ised an account of the matter this
week we will wait and see what he
says about it.
While speaking of bears, perhaps
another story may be in order, not as
CORY as the other, but having some
interesting points. 1t is one related
by our most aged and honored citizen
Barnet Wait, Esq. He says there
lived on the farm now owned by Her
man f. Grswold, in house, log
house, that stood upon the side of the
hill half way up or more, about west
from the school house, a man by the
name of Hopkins. He had two
sous, Robert and James. One morn
ing while they were travelling up the
Glebe, back of Chester Huntley's,
they saw the tracks of bear which
they followed and soon had him in a
tree. They had an old Queen Annie
flint lock gun which the squire said
was liable to kill at both ends. They
arranged with each other that "Tim"
should shoot and Robert should be
ready to tackle the bear when he came
down. Poor bruin fell and after a
lively tussel gave In. The boys were
only about Is and II years of age.
They were famous boxers and had
quite reputation in that line. This
occurred about 80 years ago.
1t Is said that Gen. Stark in 1777
marched his army through this town
from New Hampshire to Bennington.
Can the route now be given Or any
thing be said about it !?
1t is'said that the 1st town meeting
for the election of officers was held
in March l775 at the grist mill at the
mouth of Lowell Lake. Are the
records of that meeting in existence ?
Who was the 1st town clerk ?
A man by the name of McMurphy
built log house in 1859 on the spot

by Elmer A. Brooks. There were

RAILROAD BREvlTiEs.

Oberfin Smith in The Forum predicts
that railroad cars will eventually be run in
troughs, which will make derailnent liter

Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman
has pitched his tent on the eternal
plains, his spirit quietly leaving the
body at his home in New York city
on Saturday at l 80 p. m.
Gen. Sherman's history is well
known. He was one of the ablest
commanding officers this country ever
produced, and wonderful, as it may
appear, his splendid military career
was not soiled by political aspira-
tions and it's consequent intrigues.
He was military man and nothing
else, and goes to his grave mourned
by an entire nation. Funeral SER
vices are to be held to-day in New
York after which the body will be ta-
ken to St. Louis for intelment.

st. Johnsbury Republican

st. Johnsbury Republican:
The fact that there will be seven
native Vermonters in the next United
States senate causes the New York
Tribune to remark that "for a small
state, Vermont spreads itself over a
good deal of territory"
The above has gone the rounds of
the whole Vermont press, each one
uttering a crow over it in the shape
of some self-congratulatory word.
1t strikes us that it is matter of
deep regret rather than of congratu-
lation that five Vermonters represent
other states in the national senate.
The very fact that they have been
elected to the senate shows that they
are superior to the average of man.

influence, or legal lore, or what not ;
and consequently they are exactly the
men whom we ought to keep in Yer
mont and whose departure is a loss
to the state. They have left us; and
their places have been taken by five
foreigners of alien habits, morals and
religion. The exchange is wofully
poor one for Vermont, and we see
no reason why Vermonters should re-
joice over it.
