Side.Tracked Their Trains 10 Slssn

1t is said to be customary on the Phil.
adelpbia, Reading and New England
Railroad for the crews of freight trains,
when they get tired, to run their trains
on a side track and take a nap. The
authorities of the road do not object to
this policy 50 long as the trains arc laid
off at a telegraph station where the
dispatcher can keep track Of them. The
other day three trains laid off at a station
where there is no teIegrapher, and fer
several hours the train dispatcher was
almost wild at bis inability to locate
them. All trains we're delayed, and he
was momentarlly expecting to hear Of
dreadful wreck. He was greatly relieved
when he found out that the trains had
only stopped to take nap. But all
those crews were promptly discharged
at the end of their run.--Picayune.

a LOVE SONG.

The bird in its nest at morn
Looks out through the leafy Spaca
And sends sweet little song
From its hiding place:
Only q note or two.
Only faint Goo Cool'
But some othsr little bird will hear
And soon draw near.
The whispering leaves repeat
The story they oft have heari,
For oh, there's nothing so sweet
AS the song of the bird;
A love song, it is true.
Only faint "Cool Coor'
But some one calls out a-near'
"Sweetheartl am herem
GOO. Coor' says one from the nest,
A shy little warbler she;
"Cool Coop comes the answer bacS,
In lower key.
And then a new song is begun
Are these two birds, or one?
And with trills and twittriugs sweet
The love song they repeat.

50, so ! Our sweet tempered and
dearly beloved friend of the Bellows
Falls Times is bursting with wrath
because the SITTER applied to him
the old adage that "what's sauce for
the goose is also sauce for the gan
der" The Times began the business
bv stating that ''lt is well understood
why the SITTER opposes Levi Fuller" ,"
thereby insinuating that we did SO
from some unworthy motive. Where
upon we promptly challenged the
Times to say publicly just what that
unworthy motive is; and we again,
and now, dare the Times to do it..
But it wont, because it knows that we
shall come back on it with such dam
aging facts, supported by positive
proofs, as will shut off its wind with
uncomfortable suddenness. The
Times thought it was all right and
nice to make discreditable insinuations
against the SITTER but when we
turn round and suggest mildly, and
with much better reason, that the
truly goody Times is not above sus-
picion itself, it gets red in the face,
foams at the mouth and calls nasty
names. fie, fe, good brother.

A SNAP CAUCUS.

To the Rutland Republican town
committee attaches the disgrace of
being the first in Vermont to adopt
Dave Hill methods. This committee,
under the lead of its chairman, D. l..
Morgan, strong Fuller man, c.lled
the Rutland town caucus last 1ues-
day to meet on the following Tlurs-
day, yesterday,--a three days n'tice
and twenty-seven days prior to the
meeting of the convention. Anothis
in open defiance of the reasonable re-
quest of the State committee tina all
the caucuses be held on the 1Sd of
June. OF course tho Fu'leritesl by
aid of their peculiar methods had
everything "fixed" beforehand hoping
in this shameful manner to capture
the delegates for Fuller and mike all
the capital out of it possible prior to
the 18th of June when, without
doubt, the most of the cauclses will
be held. The SITTER is of tle opin-
ion that Col. Fuller in this case has
over shot the mark. While lie may
secure this delegation the mo4l effect
will not be what he desires 1t is
not probable that the Republicans of
Vermont are ready for the adoption
of Hill methods even under s. great
and good leader. Other aelega-
tions are to be chosen, and this may
prove an eye-opener to the opponents
of Fullerism and cause them to wake
up and be ready, at the earliest day
possible, to meet the trickery That it
is evident is to be practised wherever
there is the least chance. This done
Col. Fuller, like his New Yolk pro-
totype, will have his snap-cautus del

1t would seem that the effort to place
Levi Fuller in the governors chair is
to be persisted in, Notwithstanding it is
perfectly evident that by his nominal

has heretofore enjoyed at the Septem-

those engaged in this work care nothing
about the party but are only looking
out for their own sweet selves? 1t
looks very much like it, for it is GER
