The Orleans County war veterans
association win hold their annual gath
ering at Lake Park, the second Tues
day in June.
Charles Davis, the notorious horse
tibet, Jail breaker and bigamist, escap-
ed from the Newport jail last Monday
night under the following circumstan-
ces Eddie Miles, Oldest son of Sheriff
Miles, went into the Jail as usual to
lock the prisoners into their cells, lock-
ing the outside door as he passed in.
As he entered the inner Jail he thought
the prisoners were in their cells as
none were in sight. and said to them
that he had come in to lock up for the
night these words were not out of his
mouth, when Davis, who Is a large,
powerful man weighing two hundred,
seized him by the throat and kicked him
in the pit ofthe stomach, rendering him
insensible. He Immediately seized the
keys from Eddie, unlocked the door
and escaped. 1t was several minutes be-
fore young Miles recovered conscious
ness, and as soon as he did he gave
the alarm but Davis had a good start,
and, as the night was dark, he got
away. Eddie was so badly hurt that he
tainted on being taken into the house,
but fortunately no bones were broken.

The pexeIorment Of Andirons.


1t is curious to note how the taste for or
nament has developed various features of
the andiron. The crossbar, not unusual in
large wrought iron andirons. was original
ly a simple unornamented piece of iron, de-
signed as "A foot rest, in order that wet and
muddy boots might be dried by the wearer
in front Of the burning logs. The bar now
adNys is incrusted with so many ornaments
that it has ceased TO be a comfortable foot
rest. The supplementary shaft ON large
andirons had originally a single knob Of
iron, intended to prevent the burning logs
from rolling too far forward and to serve
one Office Of the creeper, but now it has de
veloped into a variety of forms, many Of
them highly ornamental.
Various rings and hooks for the hang
ing of cooking utensils have developed into
mere ornaments the practice Of cooking
before an open fire having given way be-
fore the advance Of the kitchen range and
the gas stove. The defect of the elaborate
modern anlirons lies partly in the fact
that designers have been ignorant or re-
gardless If the uses for which features of
the old andigons a intended, and haved de
veloped Them " meaningless ornament.

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

The machine is working beautifully.
The Burlington Free Press informs its
townsman Hon. +. b. Taft that his
candidacy for the Lieutenant-G overn-
orship is neither serious nor practi-
cal, and then goes on to boom the ma
chine candidate, Mr.. Stranahan of st,
Adams.
The reference would seem TO be that
il is a joke for man to run for office in
opposition to tho machine.
We advise Mr.. Taft to keep up the
joke, however and we trust that at
the State convention our Caledonia del
egates will help him keep it up.
Is Vermont ''bound hand and foot, :"
as the distinguished Vermonter whom
we quoted the other day assures us that
it is ?-and have the machine politi-
clans arranged for the control Of the
leading State offices until the year 1900
and perhaps longer!
The thing ought to be tested, and the
ant-Governorship is good
point at which to apply the test.

Taft of Burlington, who stands upon the
basis of his manhood, experience and
capacity, and whom no ring can infu-
ence or control.-St. Johnsbury Re-

After the Battle.

Another time when the old songs used to
have a peculiarly touching effect was at
night after a finished battle As twilight
lied out and darkness came on, some one
" our boys would begin to sing one of the
Union songs. His mates would secoud
him, and soon from away off across the
line of camp fires and pickets. where we
knew the enemy were, we would have
'DiNeyn or some other Confederate song
waited back to US on the breeze. Song af-
ter song would be sent over the air in this
manner from one contending camp to the
other. but presently it would be all broken
up by some soldier striking up "Home,
Sweet Home" Both sides used to join in
that in unison, as every mothers son re
membered his good old home

I must confess that l have always
blindly supposed (when thought of it
at alD that the currant of the plum pud-
ding was the same fruit as the currant
of our gardens-that slightly acrid red
berry which grows on bushes that follow
the lines of back fences-bushes that
have patches of weedy ground under
them where hens congregate. fancied
that by some process unknown to me, at
the hands of persons equally unknown
Cperhaps those who bring fattened raisins
from grapes), these berries were dried,
and that they then became the well
known ornament of the Christmas cake.
1t was atiZante that my shameful ig-
norance was made clear to me. Here l
learned that the dried fruit of commerce
is dwarf grape, which has nothing in
common with currant jelly. Its English
name, currant, is taken from the French
'sraisin de Corinthe," or Corinth grape,
title bestowed because the fruit was
first brought into notice at Corinth. We
have stolen this name in the most un-
reasonable way for our red berry. Then,
to make. the confusion worse, as soon as
we have put the genuine currants into
our puddings and cakes we turn around
and call them "plumsr'
The real currant, the dwarf grape Of
Corinth, is about as large as gooseberry
when ripe, and its color is deep violet
black; the vintage takes place in August.
1t is not hardy vine. 1t attains lux
uriance, was told, only in Greece; and
even there it is restricted to the northern
Peloponnesus, the shores of the Gulf of
Corinth, and the Ionian islands.-Con-
stance Fenimore Woolson in Harpers.
