Mr.. William FL. Hatch, of this city,
has son named Roland Hatch. Twenty
years ago he left home for the west, and
for many years his whereabouts was I'M
known to his parents. 1t has been six
years since he wrote his father. Mr..
Hatch is now i'll. One night recently he
dreamed that he was with his son in the
state of Michigan; that his son was in a
camp, numbered 40, with gang of log
gers. In the morning Mr.. Hatch told
his wife the dream. The next mail
brought letter from the long absent
son stating that he was with a logging
crew in Michigan, and everything about
him tailed with his fathers dream. The
young man has been sent for to come
home.-Belfast (Me.) journal.

The natural confguration of many
mountains suggests the human face,
and such physiognomies cut out Of the
rocks on gigantic scale are commonly
regarded by savages as objects Of wor-
ship. Ellen Russell Emerson says that
the Thunder Bird of the Thlinkits is de-
scribed by them as giant man dwell
ing in the sacred hills. When in want
of food he provides himself with a pair
of wings and mask in the shape Of
birds head, the latter having beak as
sharp as q knife and "a tongue that
makes fire."
Thus arrayed the god spreads his
wings and sails over the ocean in search
of a whale. By his side and attached to
his waist is the lightning demon, which
darts upon the prey and fetches it to the
hungry god Washington Star.

The Author and ri, work.

That the author is easily led to betray
excessive interest in himself is fact duo
IN great measure to the peculiar condi-
tons upon which his artistic success de-
ponds. Every piece of his work is the
product Of mind that should be, from
first to last, completely absorbed in it,
creation. He cannot, like the painter or
the sculptor. summon and dismiss his
model at will, with the certainty of re-
covering at a moments notice the desired
pose.
His models are continually on the
move; each one, TO be convincing, must
not only shine with the light Of varied
circumstance, but must also show cause
for existence by effect upon the others;
since the interest of a story flags the in
slant its characters are at standstiu.
As natural consequence their creator
carries them always with him, really
most alert in their behalf when he seems
to be most inactive.
At home and abroad he is ever playing
his game OF chess whereof the pawns
are men, with no board to guide him
but that mysterious one traced upon the
table of his brain All he sees and hears
contributes its mite to the source of sug-
gestion from which he draws, and by his
skill in the drawing his power is deter
mined Intricate problems force them
selves upon him, to be solved with the
incest discrimination out Of his own ex-
perience. With him eternal vigilance is
the price of victory.-Point of View in

A Costly Fan without an Owner.

One of the prettiest things in the mu-
scum of the dead letter office is lady's
fan made of stork feathers, the plumes
being rarer and richer than the finest
ostrich plumes. 1t is most magnificent
in appearance, AID doubtless graced the
costume of some court beauty in the Old
World. It came to this country from
Europe many years ago, but no clew to
its owner or origin was ever obtained.
In one of the cases there is boxof we'd
ding cake, which came to the dead letter
Office six years ago as unclaimed. It is
getting a little old and discolored, but
by this time would probably be pretty
dry eating. Considering its present
characteristics it might be excellent
wedding cake to dream on" It GER
tainly has all the elements necessary to
produce fanciful nightmare. Rosaries
are quite common in the cabinet and
crucifxes are also plentiful. Washing

Too Much Gun"

The Indian is willing to take his
chances with soldiers musket or car

the country, but when the boys get to
work with a Hotchkiss or Gatling gun

hundred bullets loose at once he can't
tell which way to dodge.-Detroit Free

Only last month boys who were
searching over the old battlefield at Get

freak: they had met in midair and were
welded by the friction caused by the
concussion.-St. Louis Republic.

7ERMONT PHd5NIX BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, April s. 1892

Prof Richardson, the German instruc-
tor at Amherst college, entertained about
80 of the past and present Sunday school
scholars of c. W. Osgood, at the latter's
residence Monday evening. The occasion
was the annual reunion of the class, and
the Professor gave very entertaining talk
upon German peasant life, as seen by him
i'm a number of annual vacations, which he
always spends there accompanied by par
ty of his students. He takes large num-
Der of photographs, and his talk was illus
trated by about so stereopticon views
thrown upon canvass. The evening was
interspersed with music and literary exer-
cises, which, with the refreshments served,
made it a very successful and happy event
The annual meeting of the board of
trustees of the Rockingham free library
was held Monday, and these officers were
reelected: President, Hon. A. Y. Swain;
clerk, DIR. j. Sutcliffe Hill committee on
buying books, A. n. Swain, DIR. +. II.
Pettengill and II. d. Ryder At this
meeting Miss II. n. Hubbard rendered her
resignation as librarian, to take effect May
LIST. Miss Hubbard has filled this office
since the library was opened four years
ago. An extensive knowledge of books,
thorough understanding of the Dewey sys-
TEN of classification, and fine French
education, together with tact and good
judgment, have made her a capable and
efficient librarian. In its four years exist
ence the library has been a success, beyond
even the most sanguine hopes of its pro-
jectOrs, and has come to be thoroughly APP
preciated throughout the town. 1t proves
of special service as supplementary to the
work of the schools, and is valuable alike
to teachers and pupils.
In the closing of the law office of Hon.
c. b. Eddy, and the sale of his legal libra
ry, which took place last week because of
his health being so seriously impaired, our
square loses a familiar place of business
which has been continuously here for 35
years. Few men in the practice of the law
in Vermont have ever held a more respect
ed and warm place in the hearts of all than
Mr.. Eddy, and the circle of those who re-
greet his enforced retirement is much larger
than our own town. He was admitted to the
bar of our county in 1858, and has always
been a successful practitioner, not only here
but in many other counties of both Yer
mont and New Hampshire and his circle
of friends is large. He was an earnest
man in the interest of every client, taking
more than the ordinary personal interest in
every case with which he became connect
ed, especially in his criminal practice,
which was large. His present condition of
health is such that while he still gets
around the streets some he is unable to do
any large amount of work, his trouble
dating from a severe attack of the grip
which followed him the most of the winter
of 1SS9-9O and from the effects of which
he never fully recovered The sympathy
of hundreds of friends is extended to him
and his family.
