To the Republicans Of Vermont
The passing of four years Of peace
and plenty has brought again the hour
when the nation awaits, from the loyal
Republicans of this commonwealth, their
hearty Endorsement of the political prin-
ciples whose enforcement has insured
that prosperity. They are watching
for the beacon fires on our mountain
tops. which shall flash across the coun-
try the welcome signal that the column
has again taken up its march on to vic
tory. with Vermont at the head. Four
wears ago it was the proud privilege of
the Republicans of this state to virtual
ly make the choice of the national party
for president, and to lead the great up
rising of popular sentiment which over
threw the power of Democracy and
seated him in the white house. Wisely
and we'll did you choose, Vermonters, so
wisely that to-day, a great nation reioic-
ing in the manifold blessings which have
been ours under his administration,

You are called again to ratify your
first selection, and to demonstrate to the
country that your faith issstill abiding by
the great principles of government Of

Reid are the chief opponents. The test
Of your devotion to your party, under
whose control Vermont has attained It'll

be found in the majority by which yot

Valuable Old Floors.

The smelling and refining Of the floors
of the factory OF a. watch companVs es-
tablishmcnt, on Bond street, near Broad,
way, was completed the other day and
proved to be one of the largest contracts
of the kind ever undertaken in America:
When the watch company decioeo
last spring to abandon case making tne
proprietofs agreed with the rehneIs to
have the floors of the building on Bono
street, where they had been for nineteen
years, worked up for the precious metals
they might contain, and contracted the
job on percentage OF the value Oh the
gold and silver reclaimed.
The contractors took up three hoors
and part of another, cut the boards into
lengths that would admit Of their being
easily handled, and .carted them OF to
their works. Here the boards were
burned and the ashes subjected to the
process of refining. Altogether about
10000 square feet of lumber was des.
troyed. and after deducting the amount
due them on the contract, Messrs. G'"r-
ieux & Woolsey turned over to the ate
company more than 100000 worth o:
gold and silver.-New York Mail and

Onions as Medicine.

The sweet Italian, or the Bermuda
onions, are the ones to be eaten au nat
urel, the favor being much more delicate
than the common varieties. But onions
are really sweeteners of the breath after
the local effects have passed away, as
they correct stomach disorders and carry
off the accumulated poisons of the sys-
TEN. They provide a blood purifier that
all may freely use, and do perfect work
in constipation troubles. AS vermifuge
the onion cannot be surpassed, and,
eaten raw, will often check violent
cold in the head. One small onion eaten
every night before retiring Is a we'll
known doctors prescription for numer-
Gus affections of the head, and is highly
recommended for sleeplessness; it acts
on the nerves in 3 soothing way, with
out the injurious effects of the drugs so
often applied. The heart of an onion,
heated and placed in the ear, will often
relieve the agony Of earache, while the
syrup procured from spriukling sliced
onion with sugar and baking in the oven,
will work wonders in "croupy" child.

Nothing disturbs her serenity. The very
dust refuses to stick to her, and at the end
of her journey she alights from the train
with smile that is comforting to look
upon. Her friends welcome her with great
cordiality, for they feel ins,inctively that
she will fit into the household and add to
the general comfort of all.

It's very common at this period of the
season to see sleeves differing in color and
material from the stuff of which the gown
is made AS in the dress just described for
you, velvet seems to be the favorite material
for such sleeves, the folded belt and collar
being of the same material, Such sleeves
are usually in pale colors, and add pecu-
liar charm to an artistic toilet. The velvet
sleeve invariably ends in deep fiaring lace
cuff. or else there is long cuff of guipure
or pleated gauze Still another style calls
for long tight sleeve of the dress material
with puffed velvet sleeve ending at the
elbow, where it is held by band and bow
of ribbons. Strange as it may seem these
combination with soft gauze, filmy materi-
ais. like chiffons, crepons. silk gauzes, silk
muslins and the whole long lists of summer
stuffs. The wide flaring cuffs of gulpure are
strikingly becoming to fine hand and arm.
Some of these puffed sleeves are divided in
the middle by bands Of silver galloon. In
all cases belts and collars should present the
same scheme Of ornamentation.
In the illustration you will find pictured
on the right an altogether charming toilet
for fete or af ternoon occasion. The ma.
terial made use of is flower-ngured batiste,
cream ground. with shaded pink carnations.
The large collar, which is put on separately
is finished with deep tounce Of lace, and
falls III epaulets over the puffed sleeves. The
straight collar, ornamenled with pink vel.
vet ribbon, is sewei to the large collar. The
lower sleeves is let off with bracelet bands
of ribbon. The wide belt is formed of the
stuff pleated, or with the ribbon lined with
stiff material and boned. In the figure or

THE DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS.

One of the parlors is set apart for the
members of the press and is in charge OF
Colonel Tracey, well-kuown New York
newspaper writer. Returning to the
hall the stranger would be instantly
pointed out two of the conspicuous
Democrats of New York in the persons
of the Hon. "Jimmy" Oliver, the idol of
Paradise Park, who fills the Office of
Sergeant-at- Arms, and the other the
Hon. Frank Duffy, of Fort Hamilton,
who revels in the distinction of being
official messenger to Chairman Harrlty.
The approach to the stairway is guard
ed by big railing of brass, with spikes
along the top and little gates that shut
with click and snap. Just the same
sort of an arrangement can be found at
Republican National Headquarters, and
the explanation givuu is that the wire
partitions are to protect the leaders from
the army of clam chowder and summer
picnic politicians.
A broad, winding staircase leads up to
Chairman Harrity's apartments. Chair
man Harrity has nice breezy room in
the frost of the house, where he sits at
desk in the southwest corner of the
room. In smaller room to the right
have been placed couple of dozen
chairs and table. This is Chairman
Harrity's council chamber.
A large room in the rear is reserved
for the use of Secretary Sheerin, and
alongside of this is the headquarters of
the Committee on Campaign Speakers,
with Bradley B. Smalley, OF Vermont,
in charge.
The two upper stories of the building
are devoted to the literary bureau, over
which aud large force of clerks Con-
gresham Josiah Quincy, of Massachu-
setts, presides. The basement is devoted
to the mailing department.
The Republican leader, Mr.. Thomas
a. Carter, of Montana, has pitched his
political camp at No. SIS Fifth avenue,
just above Forty third street, and on
the west side of the avenue. This is

Hotel and the general heunts of New

Fishing In the Northwest.

Whoever passes along the main retail
street of Seattle and happens to notice
the counters on the principal fish store
will be astonished. In the chromatic
display of the captive creatures of the
sea IS the text for another chapter on
future wealth for Washington. They
have tt e salmon, though that catch. is
credited to Oregon and Alaska. There
are in the northern waters cod banks
thousands of miles in extent; halibut,
Goldfish, rock cod, sole, sea bass, smelts,
shrimps, herrings, and oysters are all
abundant. Apparently the fisheries out
weigh those of the east as the timber belt
excels that which once enclosed the great
lakes. Candor compels me to say that
the Pacific fish, with one exception, are
inferior to tie same kinds Of fish in the
East, yet they are not wanting In fine
qualities. The halibut of Washington
and the north is, believe, the finest sea
fish for the table that is known in America.
The tiny muddy oysters, the size of
dime or quarter, are the meanest product
of that sea, but they find ready sale
and are admired. Since that is so, hope
TO. all the rest should be rampant.
Their crabs, on the contrary, are not
mere samples; they are wholesale pro.
ducts, regular marine monsters; and all
the better for tnat, since they make good
food. The fishing that must in few
wears tleck the waters of the Pacific with
sails is scarcely begun. There is only
million invested in it, and only million
a year is produced by it.-Harpers

the most able campaiguers, the greatest
statesmen, the most brilliant orators and
the trained leaders of each party, for the
purpose of laying down plans for carry
ing on the battle.
From New York City aud the respec-
tive headquarters the wires are laid
which will traverse the entire country and
which will daily convey to the managers
of the campaign accurate reports OF the
situation in every nook and corner.
The building from which Chairman
W. F. Harrity and his staff of lieuten-
ants carries on the battle for Democratic
principles is situated at No. 13O Fifth
avenue, between Twentieth and Twenty
first streets, on the east side of the ave-
nue., and is readily distinguished by rea-
son of the display of American banners
with which Superintendent w. Duff
Haynie has adorned the outer walls. 1t
is a broad-fronted, high-srooped build
ing of brown stone, with wide balcony
on the parlor floor.
The house is four stories high, with an
English basement, and is good type of
the old.ti fashionable residence on
the lower section Of the avenue. OF
the interior, much has been said OF the
$4,000 bronzes" and the $4,000 mir
rors." While these fixtures are un-
doubtedly exceedingly handsome and
lend an air OF general beauty to what
would otherwise be prosaic business
quarters, there is nothing really remark
able about them.
Ascending the stoop, entrance is
gained to wide hall paved with black
and white marble. To the ght are the
reception rooms, consisting of three big
parlors with a combined depth OF
seventy-6ve feet, aud containing the
much -talked.of mirrors.
In the first of these rooms Superin-
tendent Haynie has his desk and cordially
welcomes the many Democrats who drop
in daily to discuss the political situa.
ton. Mr.. Hayrie is Dakota man and
was Adlai E. Stevenson's right hand
man in the Postoftice Departm ent during
the Cleveland Administration.
