A Bottomless Pot.

An East Side dealer in New York was lately made the object of a swindle that was rather novel and original A mid de aged woman came into his store one day carrying on her arm large basket, in which was a pot with a lid. She placed the basket on the floor made numerous purchases, had her bill count ed up, and then carefully put ail her articles into the pot and replaced the lid with the greatest caution. She next asked permission of the store keeper to leave the articles in his care. as she wished to do little more shopping in the neighborhood, promising to return in the course of an hour.
 This request was willingly acceded to, and lifting the pot out of the basket she carried it carefully to a corner, where 1t would be out of the way, set it down, and again slipping the basket under her arm, left the store, after profusely thanking the man for his kindness. Hours went by, but the woman failed to call for her precious pot. At last when closing time came, salesman went over to the corner for the purpose of placing the earthen ware in a safer place, and quickly discovered that, like a certain locality to which sinners are supposed to be consigned after death, il was bottomless. The mere mention of a pot Is now sufficient reason to cause the victimized dealer to go into convul sions.-House Furnishing Review

A Noble Example.

Miss Weltha Ann Beckley, who lives about three miles south of this village, have woven on an old fashion hand loom 7,5S5 yards of carpet during her life time. Most of this work was done whenever she could find a spare mo- ment from her housework and from talk ing care of her aged parents who were invalids for many years before their death. For nearly five years Miss Beck ley's parents required such constant at- tention that she did not have an oppor- tunity to weave yard of carpet. She has certainly given the world a noble example of industry and filial devotion. She proposes to weave one more carpet before she abandons the loom.

Bears Gall Is Worth Money.

A bears gall was recently sent to gentleman in this city as slight token of esteem from an intimate and dear friend in the country, with the sugges- tion that it might possess 8 pecuniary value in the Chinese language. Think ing that it was intended to imply that he lacked gall, our city gentleman threw it in the street. Soon afterward a Chinaman came in, and, on being in terrogated, offered one dollar for it.
 The work of redeeming it by side door occupied one minute, and the price obtained was two dollars. They are considered very valuable by Chinese physicians, and are much sought after We now quote bears gall in fair de- mand, with limited supply; political gall abundant, with few takers Ell Paso Herald.

 age to Do Up the Reptile.
 The first inspection of land said to be desirable for a military camp was made yesterday afternoon by the joint legls- lative committee appointed to secure permanent camp for the Rhode Island militia
 The committee consists of one senator and two representatives. The commit tee was accompanied by Brigadier Gen erals Dennis and Kendall. Colonel Thornton, Colonel Phetteplace, Captain Barker, Captain George A. Forsyth. Captain Howe and Senator Andrews
 The first proposed site visited was the several hundred acr at Hills grove.
 The expedition me, with an adventure in pushing its way throu n several acres of brake and brler. The party was marching in Indian file along the old PeQuot trail, when the head of the col umn was abruptly halted by large black snake poised on the decayed limb of tree, its head erected, its fangs ready to strike and its entire attitude betokening defiance to the Rhode Island militia, the legislature and the commit tees thereof.
 "Forwardi forwardr called General Dennis, who was in the rear. but those in the van declined to budge an inch. The reptile gave warning hiss and it's gaping jaws closed with a suggestive snap. Its sinuous body advanced to a erected to do battle. It gave spring to another branch, and the head of the column wavered; moment more and it would have broken, but just then Sen ator Titus Andrews, who had been gath ering bouquet of mushrooms, came up and sized up the situation
 Back, backl' exclaimed those who had recovered speech, and who were fearful of losing a valuable senator "For whatY' "The snake, the snaker' they cried. "Oh, yes; see him. Why the varmint Any of you want himp' He spoke as though he would pass the reptile to any one short of snake Col nel Phetteplace was sorry he hadn't his sword, and Colonel Forsyth regretted that he was without gun. Tut, tutr exclaimed the yeoman senator from Smithfeld, and passing beneath the snake seized it by the tail just as Gap tain Forsyth aimed blow at it with a sapling.
 "I will show you little trick" ob- served General Kendall, lifting the dead snake by the tail. See me snap his head off" He snapped the snake as one would snap whip, but the trick did not work. The shock revived the snake and the trick was not renewed. - Providence Journal

The Springfield Morning Union

"At early dawn and dewy eve" the Springfield Union now publishes an edition. The Springfield Evening Union is too we'll and favorably known to need comment, but it is safe to say that it's younger brother, the Spring field Morning Union, born July 2nd, will rival if not eclipse it. We have re- ceived copy of the July 7th morning edition. It is an eight page paper and is as full of news as an egg is of meat. The daily correspondence from Western Massachusetts is very interesting fea- ture. The editorial columns give no uncertain sound. They are not narrow minded and prejudiced, but show such broad gage republicanism and patriot ism that they will not offend or harm fair minded democrats.

4 PATRIOTIC OCCASION.

The public installation of officers of Victory Council No. 65, O. U. A. M., took place at the town hall last Thurs day evening and was very interesting and patriotic occasion. The interior of the hall was neatly decorated with flags and bunting, and the officers and mem- bers of the o. U. A. M. presented quite a striking appearance in their showy regalia Previous to the commence ment of the exercises the Canaan Citi- zens' band played several selections on the lawn in front of the hall, and during part of the exercises someone played the ''Stove-pipe Reveille' beneath the win dows Many had accepted invitations to attend the exercises, and there were also present nearly all the members of Victory Council, as we'll as delegations from sister councils so that the hall was comfortably filled.
 The order of exercises was as follows: Prayer by Rev Dr Eddy. F. O. Clark of Falls Village was the installing officer and he very impressively administered the obligation to the newly elected officers, and he instructed each officer in regard to his duties. Mir Clark was assisted by State Organizer Gilmore. MT Clark then made an able address and explained the principles and objects of the O U. A. M. Mir Gilmore then made proclamation that the officers were duly installed, after which the gavel was presented to Councillor Fuller, The band then played "The Red, White and Blue" Interesting and instructive ad- dresses were made by Rev Dr Eddy and Rev F. Thompson; and an enthusiastic, soul-stirring and "Buncombe" address was made by State Organizer Gilmore. The band played America" MT Clark then made some excellent remarks and thanked everyone for being present. Councillor Fuller made a humorous and poetic speech, after which the O. A. M. goat was exhibited. This was the s'pleasant surprise" promised in the in- vitations. The goat proved to be a genuine live goat but no one volunteer ed to ride it. but it is hoped that this public installation will create desire among many Canaanites to ride the O.. U. A. M. goat in a speculative instead of operative manner. The band then played the quickstep, "The Willow" {" The entire audience joined in singing 'America," and then Rev Dr Eddy pro- nounced the benediction.
 It may be proper to state that Victory Council has grown from IA to 45 mem- bers since July 30, 1891.

A PERIuRBED AND AFFLICTED
WORLD.

To the pessimls,lcally Inclined the
dispatches 10 the daily papers ought to
make congenial reading. Famine,

continents Of the Old World might be
said to be seriously agitated.
On our own American continent
great excitement also prevails. The
news from our sister republics south OF
Us IL anything but soothing. Our
neighbors to the north are not In
the most placid condition at present.
In our own country reports Of large
crops are mingled with sad accounts Of
murders, riots and rumors Of wars.
