up, Just before he died, at his wife
and smiled and uttered the word

Randall had not left his bedside and
his hand was in hers when he passed
away. Randalrs was another case OF
overwork and lack OF exercise. This,
with his peculiar temperament,
brought on the gout, and he died in
the most intense pain.
John A. Logan's death was full OF
pathos aud tenderness His last act

She Must Be Gentle.

Probably there is not young girl
among our readers who does not ar
IDENTIFY desire TO be beautiful and at
tractive. But as we must all be con-

beautiful or not, We must all study
somewhat if we would attain our ar

Handsome is that handsome does.

little more of inner meaning than APP

true now as in the old days OF chivalry.
With a complexion as soft and e1quis-
lite as a rose petal, and with form As
perfect as the Venus de Medici, no
girl is really beautiful v no has not a

SCISSOR of it has a cloak well nigh as
voluminous as that Of charity. From
the heart proceedeth refinement and
gentility, and Out Of the abundance
of the heart the mouth speaketh.
II kindly feelings are cultivated,
they will prevent their pos.essor from
hurting others when keen intellect
or bright wit finds opportunity for
sarcastic or ill-natured speeches. or
for those numberless rude actions
which speak louder than words.
Temper curbed gives a dignity Of
manner, and calm mind makes its
possessor gentle in speech and act.
There is Il certain polish Of manner
that comes only from attrition with
others, with the best elias. in society;
but this polish must be distinguished
from genuine refinement, which isnot
merely upon the surface, not aveneer,

and transforming the whole being and

Origin Of Great Arts.

The art Of printing took its origin
from some rude impressions taken for
the amusement OF children from let
ters carved on the bark Of a beech
tree.
Gunpowder was discovered from
the falling of spark on some materi-
ais mixed in mortar.
The stupendous results OF the team
engine may all be traced TO the boy
who sat watching the steam which
came from the nose OF the tea-kettle.
Electricity was discovered by per
son observing that a piece OF rubbed
glass attracted small bits Of paper.
Pendulum clocks were invented
after Galileo stood observing the lamp
in church swinging to and fro.

other. and looking through them at
the distant sky Their idea was fol-
lowed up by other heads.
Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his
garden one day when he saw an apple
fall from a tree. This common occur
renee set him TO thinking why things
should fall down and not up, and this
train Of thought led him to the discov-
cry Of the law Of gravitation.

Wanted to Give Plenty.

scholars shall be cleanly dressed, and
in case OF disobediencs she does not
hesitate to administer the old-tiDe

A little negro named Joe came in

met little nigger named Bill coming
in.
"Whar We gwine, JOEY

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-09-14
Noted and Quoted.

SENATOR PROCTOR is reported by the Bur-
lington Free Press as saying of the election
in this state: $50 far as / have heard, we
have met with no falling off but what is
readily accounted for by the new ballot sys-
tenn and various other causes. On national
grounds alone, l think we are stronger than
ever before; but the new ballot law and
state fair have reduced our vote. 1t is, how
ever, about what it was in 1884, our major
ity that year being some 81 800. 1t was low,
too in 1876" He thinks the national out
look, especially in New York. is first rate.
VERMONT is a northern republican state,
largely engaged in manufacturing. Its
quarries of marble, slate and limestone are
famous and are very productive. Its tan
neries, mills and forges give employment to
thousands; and although the population is
stationary, the obligations of the state are
diminishing, taxation is low, the affairs of
the commonwealth are well administered
law rules and order prevails. The devotion
| OF Vermont to the American system of tax
ing the products of foreign labor and inven-
ton has always been intense, nor is it mo-
nopolized by the republicans of the Green
Mountain state, their democratic adversa-
ries being in substantial accord with them
on this subject.-Neeo York Sun.
THE campaign of the peoples party is not
one OF education, except ais the contempla-
ton of bad picture may suggest excel
lence by its departure from it, 1t is an ex-
hibition OF all that is petty and low and
selfish and untrue in human nature. 1t is
an appeal to the worst passions. 1t is a
campaign of misrepresentation and of ar
rogant cupidity. Take a specimen address
of any of the speakers who represent the
peoples party in this campaign. Read
what Donnelly says of the imminence of
red war and social anarchy. Listen to Jerry
Simpson, saying that the men of Kansas
are selling their honor and the women their
virtue for bread, and trying TO sneak out of
II when threatened with punishment by
ity crowd from one end to the other, with
its utter pessimism, its gloomy malgnancy,
its address to cupidity, and it exhibits a
campaign managed by all that is worst in
human nature; a campaign which can edu-
can find its strength only in ignorance of
the good.-St. Paul Ptoneer-PreSs.

Colonel Fuller Congratulated.

The republican club and the citizens of
Brattleboro congratulated Colonel Levi K

as governor. Colonel Kittredge Hasxins,
state senator-elect, and Hon. j. l.. Martin,
representative-elect, received with Colonel
Fuller, who spoke to the large audience as
follows Fellow-citzens The campaign
inaugurated few weeks ago, terminating
yesterday has resulted in the election of
one of your townsmen to the Office of gov

properly considered 1t Is probable that
this has been reached by a majority that is
the equivalent of the average for the past
three presidential years, if not the equiva-
lent OF Nermonts phenomenal vote of 1883.
In addition to this you have special reasons

Mr.. Blaine's Letter.

Mr. Blaine's health renders it inadvis-
able for him to take the stump this
fall, but in lieu of that he has written
letter to Hon. Joseph Manley, chairman
of the Maine republican committee, in
which he states the line of argument
which he would advise using in the
campaign. He believes the tariff is the
issue of the greatest consequence, and
he believes the present prosperity of
the country, in agriculture, manufac-
turing and especially commerce, has
caused reaction in sentiment regard.
ing the Mckinley bill. Mr.. Blaine
calls particular attention to the plank
of the democratic convention in which
a protective tariff is declared to be I'M
constitutional, contrasting this position
with the protective views of Jefferson.
Naturally, the Elk secretary believes the
reciprocity issue is also of great impor-
lance. In this connection he asks:
"What would have been the result to
the United States if every article be-
fore it was put on the free list had been
made the subject of inquiry to see what
we could get in exchange for it? We
omitted to do 30 for many years, and
that neglect has cost the government
advantages in trade which would have
amounted to tens of millions of dollars.
This is the whole of the reciprocity
scheme" The third issue which he
would make prominent this fall is that
of the currency. He arraigns the dem
ocratic party for its advocacy of state
banks, and wildly depicts the state of
things when such banks were the sole
fountain of our currency. Whenever
one Of them failed the result was large
loss and great distress among the peo-
pie. No one was responsible for their
bills, and they were generally found
