The Bell Trade Com pleted.

When Mr.. f. A. ODER, the commissioner
of the Latin American department Of the
Worlds Columbian exposition 10 the West
Indies, was in Santo Domingo during the
past year he was presented with an ancient
bell of the time Of Columbus, which had
been used in the chapel of the shrine Of
Santo Cerro in that island. This was given
by the capellan Of the sanctuary Of Santo
Cerro on condition that new bell be sent
ia It's place This was done, and through
the courtesy of Mr.. Thomas Mcclellan,
superintendent of the SANTANA and Santi-
ago railroad, IL was carried to Santo Cerro.
whence it was borne on mems shoulders 10
the Holy hill and presented TO the shrine
of the Virgin Of Santo Cerro. There was
great rejoicing, and the country people
flocked from all parts of the Vega. The
gran function" on the occasion Of the dedi-
cation of the new bell, would have been OF
much interest, but the rains made the
roads impossible The bell was hung in
the old tower on the very spot where
Columbus once stood and viewed the val
ley 400 years ago, and now sends out its
clear tones over the interior hills OF Santo
Domingo.

The Louisville Courier Journal of Monday
morning, July 49, 1892. reports the Louis
vile tobacco market for the past week as
follows: The market this week has been
fairly satisfactory. There has been scar
city Of really fine, desirable tobacco Offering.
and what has been broken has been taken
very quickly. Tie condition Of the market
reminds farmers of a sway back horse, high
at both ends and low in the middle. The
common aud low grades, leaf, Tugs and
trash have shown much strength and tend
to a higher range Of prices. Medium to
good is in ample supply and dull. When
other kinds have attracted spirited bidding
the good to medium has been slightly AMI
mated only 10 fall back to dulluess when
the BUYERS became less interested. Dark
tobaccos have been rather easy this week
as compared with last. Red burleys are
much less in demand than bright colory,
and thin, papery texture seems now to be
sought, just the opposite OF the demand
early in the year

lieutenant governor and the nickname in
each case is well bestowed, for both are
practical farmers. Hon. Abram w. Smith
is almost giant In stature and is pos
sessed Of the most robust health. He is a
ready. though not a polished, speaker, and
his campaign will be one Of the most ag'
eressive and vigorous ever conducted in
the state. He promised the convention
that he would visit every one of the 100
counties in the state during the campaign
a task which has several times been at
tempted, but never accomplished.
He was born Oct. 10, 1913, at Hiram, Ok
ford county, Me-, received a common school
education, served through the war for the
Union, learned the machinist's trade and
worked at 1t for some years, then went ia
Kansas, where he homesteaded quarter
section in Mcpherson county in 1872. He
has represented his district five times in
the state legislature, serving as speaker in
the session Of 1851.

Rules for Old People.

Science has demonstrated, as the deduc-
ton from many hundred observations,
that old people should avoid high alti-
tudes and that abundant sunshine is their
best medicine As 20 a sea voyage, they
gain or lose by it much like others 1t IS
obvious that the failing vitality-that IS,
the impaired vigor of circulation, assIml-
lation aud exertion which characterize adj
vanced years, and the spinal maladies most
frequent at that time Of life, such AZ rheu.
matism, cardiac disease, govt and renal
affections-serve to determine the climate
logical problem, and thus. in word. mod
crate warmth, with fair equabiiity, abun'
dance of sunshine, with adequate shelter
and level walks, evidently meet the most
obvious indications called for by these al
fections. The unsuitability of the noun
tain climates 10 the aged is due primarily
to the cold, which depresses those in whom
the circulation is feeble.

ceooranbicaI Knowledge in 1902.

But very little was known in regard TO
the extent of the world in Aristotle's day,
in the fourth century before Christ, and
but very little more was known about II
1850 years later, in the time OF Columbus.
In 1000 years the world had in reality
refrigerated rather than advanced.
1t was the popular belief in the time OF
Columbus that the world was fiat, though
many contemporary scholars thought diff
ferently. The great civilizations OF the
world at that time were grouped around
the Mediterranean sea, although England
was considerable power, and the Scandi-
navians were great maritime people.
But Europeans at that time knew but lit
tie of Asia and but little OF Africa, and
America of course was undreamed of.
Even after Columbus had discovered the
latter continent he was perfectly obliyious
of the fact. He thought Hayti was Cipan-
go, or Japan, and for long time regarded
Cuba as part Of the mainland Of Asia

Though every general reader knows that
Australia is rapidly coming 10 the front
among the nations, it is still surprising TO
learn how completely the people have real
lied many Of the reforms still looked upon
as purely ideal in England and the United
States. The control OF telegraphs, prisons
schools, hospitals, etc, is in the general
government, and the management gives
satisfaction. The problems Of municipal
government appear to have been solved.
Taking it generally, Australia is doing
many things which will be Of immense
value to other nations as object lessons.

Because he is a man of the people, whom
we know the people can trust in every
emergency.
Because he is not an Office seeker and is
candidate now because he was drawn
into the canvass to represent principle
that "the office should seek the man, not
the man the office"
Because he has demonstrated his ability
and fitness for the place in both branches
OF the legislature and in many other i'm
portant positions.
Because we believe he combines in a
greater degree than any other man named
''Ability and Availability" and will poll
the largest vote.
Because he is farmer who has made
farming pay in Vermont and knows what
the farmers, the largest and most impor-
tant part OF our voters, need.
Because he has as liberal an education
as any candidate named, being a gradu-
ate OF Dartmouth, and, as one OF the larg-
est breeders of fine blooded sheep in Ver-
mont, has a wide acquaintance in the
state and through the country.
Because he'is the peer OF any man nam
ed in ability, integrity and fitness for the
Office OF governor of Vermont.

We find by looking up the vote that we
did injustice to Henry A. Fletcher in stat
ing that his majority was 13,467. That
was the official majority. But there were
2S16 votes cast in one county for Henry C..
Fletcher which were intended undoubt-
edly for Henry A. Fletcher so that he real
ly had $500 votes against 19,s07 cast for
all other persons so his true majority was
1928, next to the highest majority given
any candidate on the whole ticket and he
ran 925 above the average strength of his
ticket. We made no comment on the vote
but simply published it to show how the
leading candidates had stood the crucial
test of the ballot
