That was a very excellent example
which the people of Johnson set the
neighboring villages last Saturday.
They have a village Improvement
society there, and on the day above
m entioned a large gang of men, in
Guiding ministers, doctors and bust
ness men, and several teams put in the
entire day in Sticking up the streets,
laying out sidewalks, etc. The move
is most excellent one and the peo-
pie of that thriving berg are to be
congratulated on their enterprise.
Not only will the villagelook the bet
ter for this work, but the sanitary
condition will be improved. We have
no doubt this movement will be con-
tageous, and expect to record similar
work in the other villages through
out Lamoille county.

[From the Mortified News
From the Vermont Journal. ]

AS the time tor the state cOnven-
ton draws near it becomes apparent
that Col. Levi K. Fuller of BrattIe-
boro will be the next Governor of
Vermont. The opposition to his
nomination cannot unite upon any
candidate, and the sentiment in his
favor becomes more pronounced
daily. Thisis eminently satisfactory
to his Windham county friends, and
no less gratifying to those of Wind
sor county who have advocated his
selection from the beginning of the
canvass. 1t is also apparent that
the name of Hon. f. s. Stranahan of
st. Adams is rapidly growing in
favor for the Lieut.. -Goyernorship.
The name of Hon. E. B. Taft of Bur
lington finds favor in some quarters,
notably in certain newspaper offices,
but generally speaking the sentiment
is towards Mr.. Stranahan, than
whom no better selection can posi-
bly, be made. With Fuller and Stran-
ahan as their leaders, the Republi-
cans of Vermont will undoubtedly
roll up one of the old time majorities
which have so frequently carried dis
may to Democratic camps. And es-
pecially SO, if the ticket is further
strengthened, as it is conceded it will
be, by the denomination of the pres
ent Secretary of State and State

Table Manners of Old.

The fear of poison, which haunt ed the mind of every person of quail ity during the middle ages, gave rise to certain curious customs, and even to certain superstitions. When dishes are now served covered it is understood that it is merely for the purpose of keeping them warm. This was not, however, the princi- pal reason why they were served covered during the dark ages. It was the fear that poison might be introduced into them surreptitiously between the kitchen and the table where they were to be served to the kings or the lords, or even to per sons of inferior rank.
 The covers were not removed till the master of the house had taken his place. All dishes after wards served were brought on the table in the same manner.
 It was the custom originally, when the dishes were uncovered, for some Of the servants to first partalSe of them, but this custom was after ward in part replaced by the servants touching the food with one of sew eral objects which were regarded as infallible conservatives against poison.
 These objects were the horn of the unicorn, serpent's tongue, the fabulous stone found in the head of the toad, serpentine, agate and other stones. The first was considered the best, but as the unicorn never ex- isted, its horn was replaced by that of the narwhal, or by sharks tooth, which were sold by all the druggists instead of it and under it's name.
 Many persons kept small piece of it at the bottom of their drinking glasses. Unicorn's horn was so rare and precious that it was worth more than ten times its weight in gold.
 1t was never proved that the stone alleged to come from the head of the toad had that origin, and the druggists who sold it knew that what they vended was mineral dug out of the earth, but this did not pre- vent the fraud or put an end to the superstition.
 In the time of Louis XIV and Louis XV the faith in these talis- mans had considerably weakened, but all the dishes placed on the royal tables were touched, as well as the plate, the napkin, the knife, the fork and the toothpick of the monarch, with piece of bread, which the chief of the goblet at once swal- ed.--Golden Days.

SILVER CONVENTION.
A Delegate Denounces Both the Demo-
 eraticand Republican Parties.
EXISTING FINANCIAL SYSTEM
Of the United States Causing His Farm to Depricatc in yaiue--Choicc for
 President.

WASHINGTON, May P. At 10:15 this morning Chairman Warner called the silver convention to order. Short addresses were made by Mir. Shinn, of Kansas, and Mir. R. K. Thomas, of Pennsylvania. The latter said that ten years ago his farm was generally regarded as being worth $10,- GOO, and since that time he has been even more successful than others in his neighborhood, and has been able, by close attention to busi- ness and economy, to save abou $500 per year. This was the result of the labor of every member of his family. But while he had been able to save $500 a year, his farm, however, has depre- ciated in value, and could not be sold to-day for more than $5000. The shrinkage he attrib- uted solely to our per- nicious financial system, which is being operated in the interest of money lenders, corporations and monopolists. The speaker denounced both the leading political parties and said rather than vote for Gro yer Cleveland, who seemed to be the logical candidate of his party, with his free trade ideas he would vote fer Queen Victoria for presi- dent of the United States, and rather than vote the ticket of the hypocritical, weak-kneed Republi- can party he would vote fer Cleve- land.

EARLY FIREARMS.

 Used Were Made.

HOW some or tue EhfAN DHN~hAtt"@'~ " M
 Used Were Made.
 As a weapon of war the hand-gun has been in use since the latter half of the fourteenth century, but the opposition of the knights to the in troduction of firearms will account for the lack of ernamentation upon cannon, guns and pistols at tune when both arms and armor were iav- ishIy decorated.
 It was not until the commence ment of the sixteenth century that, with the invention of a wheel lock m Germany, the gun became sporting weapon and attained popularity. Efforts were then made tastefully to fashion and decorate such firearms as were destined for use by the fol- lowers of the chase.
 The shaft of the sporting cross bow was the model from which the butt of the early sporting gun was designed, and the ornamentation chiefly consisted of carved scrolls, or figures, and arabesques-designs cut out of horn, bone, metal or fancy woods, inlaid in the butt and fore end of the gun.
 The barrels, thick and heavy, were usually octagonal, but occa- sionally elaborately futed and chis- eled into the resemblance of col umn, with Corinthian capitals and figures in full relief. Suhl, in Rhenish Prussia, which, in the fifteenth century, was famed for its swords and cross bows, commenced early in the followed century to man. ufacture the hand gun, winning an enviable reputation for this weapon, although individual manufacturers of Suhl have never enjoyed the dis tinction accorded some of the Dres- den rifle makers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
 The sporting guns and rifles made in Saxony had barrels of great weight, permitting elaborate carv- ing futing and turning of the metal, whilst barrels made iD the neighbor- hood of Brescia were more accurate ly executed and finished, more simple in design than those of Ger man manufacture, owing less to the carver and turner than to the smith for their beauty.
 The maker of barrel rarely mounted it, and the mounters or gunmakers depended upon the jewellers, carvers, chiselers and kindred artists for the ornamenta- ton of their weaoons.
 With single barrel guns the makers in their method of ornamen- tation invariably treated the barrel as column, more frequently follow ing the Corinthian than the Doric order. With the adoption of small shot into general use, the lighter guns were demanded, so that deep futings and carved capitals were discarded for the "Spanish form a term retained by gunmakers to denote model, which is still maLu- | factured in modified form.
 in this style the breech end, one- 6nird of tte length of the barrel, is octagonal, forming the plinth of a column; there is fanciful 6llet, and the barrel is continued cylindri cal, or slightly tapers to the muzzle, where another fillet is the finishing capital. Magazine of Art.
