Pleasant "reminiscences.

The following dialogue was over
heard at an old boys dinner ::
"Don't know me again? Why, you
remember that little Gerard who
used to steal your marbles?"
All yes, l know now! Do you
recollect the drubbing 1 gave you
once? You we're laid up for a week
afterward."
The other, with a sigh: "Ah !!
those were the happiest moments
of our lives. "-L'Escaut.

The present law of criminal libel
has long been unpopular here for
the reason it has been abused.
Within the past dozen years the
civil suits for libel can be counted
upon the fingers of one hand. On
the contrary the suits for criminal
libel have reached a very large
percentage. The fact that pri-
vate individual can upon the
merest pretext use the Hawaiian
government as plaintiff in GRIM
inal libel suit has brought the law,
as it stands, into just disrepute.
Within the past ten or twelve
years especially the criminal ar
rests and suits for libel have par
taken largely of private and poll
teal nature. Lately the law has
been so amended as to leave the
choice of prosecuting such
suits to the discretion of the gov
eminent, and, as soon as the new
law is in working order, it is be-
lieved more civil suits for libel and
less criminal prosecutions will re-
suit. In the meantime the local
newspaper editor is seemingly at
the mercy of any Dick, Tom or
Harry who sees fit to set the legal
machinery of the government in
motion, to be paid for at heavy
public expense and at no little in
convenience to the arrested citizen.
Another fact which must not be
lost sight of is that while in civil
libel cases dispositions of wit
nesses can be taken for a
coming trial, in criminal
actions such witnesses must be
held to testify. This fact adds in

FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
Queer Scenes as Viewed by III.
w. BayIisS.

II. w. .Bayliss, of London, one
of the leading manufacturers of
railroad iron and general supplies
in the world, who has recently been
on visit to South Africa, is at the
Occidental hotel, San Francisco.
Mr.. Bayliss' firm has just filled the
largest contract ever made with
any railroad, that of furnishing an
enormous quantity of supplies for
the Cape Town railroad, of which
5000 miles are now in operation.
He says South Africa as whole
reminds him much of America,
and parts of that country are very
similar to California. Cape Town
is, as regards its keen, bracing ocean
breeze, much like San Francisco,
while Natal is in its surroundings
and climate very similar to Santa
Barbara. Port Elizabeth is the
Liverpool of South Africa.
1t is pushing, wide-awake coun-
try, but as a whole there are few
Americans there. The Dutch are
very industrious and are wonderful
money-makers, but they are not
very well informed and they live
poorly.
"The gold Mines" he said, "are
undoubtedly the greatest in the
world. There is more gold in
given property than in any else
where, but the richest gold mines
are not at johannesburg, but off
farther on the frontier. The Kim
berley diamond mines are going
ahead and producing as wonder
fully as ever, but the big De Beers
syndicate now includes most of
them.
"What surprised me most were
the hotel charges. You cannot
live at Kimberly at any kind of
hotel-for instance, like an aver
age one at Santa Barbara-for less
than 81 a day. The reason is that
they do not raise anything, and all
the supplies have to come from
England.
cat Kimberly the natives are
prohibited by twomile limit from
coming into town in their native
state, as they would like, and as
until the law was passed was their
custom. Because of this I have
seen them come in from their
kraals to the two mile point, both
men and women, stark naked, and
carrying their clothes. There they
would stop and put them on.
When they get through in the city
they would come back, and strip
stark naked again and proceed to
their kraals.
1.-THE veldt, or prairie of South
Africa, of which Ryder Haggard
speaks, is not exactly the same as
the prairie land of America. The
veldt is short and covers the land
something like a carpet yet it
affords good grazing for cattle. All
in all, it is a most interesting
country, but probably the most in
teresting thing is the customs.
What is right there is oftentimes
radically wrong here and in Eng
land"
Mr.. Bayliss intends to put in
some months in California. His
health for some time has not been
good, and he is trying to recup-
crate.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The stand taken by Minister
Blount in the Japanese affair does
not seem to please our friends the
royalists, or the loyalists," as
they lately affect to call themselves.
There is some reason for their
present displeasure, as the action
taken by the American minister
breaks somewhat rudely into the
last hope which the royalists
have for foreign interference in
Hawaiian affairs. The sweet dream
of English interference vanished al
most as soon as it was proposed by
the ex-queen's supporters, and the
alleged Russian scheme " of getting
hold of the islands" failed to ma
terialize shortly afterwards. This
was succeeded by the japanese
scheme, which was written up and
made much of here and abroad
shortly after the Provisional gov
eminent came into power. The
Japanese scheme was made the es-
pecial hobby of the royalists, and
much dependence seemed to be
placed upon it from its incep-
ton to the present time.
The cool manner in which
Minister Blount has lately re1e-
gated this last hope and hobby of
the royalists to the political limbo
awaiting all such decisions, would
necessarily be received in no gra-
cious manner. The somewhat pc
tulant denial that Minister Blount
ever took such an official stand-as
published-will prove to be not
borne out by the documents in
the case. The denial is made with
the usual lack of foresight, for
present political purposes, but will
avail the royalists nothing. There
is no doubling the statement that
the Provisional government cour-
teously informed the representative
of Japan that they could not con-
slider the question while Hawaiian
affairs were rnder consideration by
the United States government"
This is the usual form diplomatic
language takes, even when the
most vital questions are being deter
mined. There is no purpose, either
present or future, to be served by our
royalist friends attempting to mis-
lead the public and excuse the defeat
of their pet project by subtituting
the effect for the cause, as in the
present case. The diplomatic Ian
guage used by the Provisional gov
eminent was the effect; Minister
Blount's official note on file in the
foreign office was the cause. These
facts may be denied, but they can
never be overthrown.

A few months ago we called
your attention to these Goods
and to the fact that we would
soon be prepared to supply
you. It's so long since, you
have probably forgotten all
about it.
We had commenced to think
ourselves that the manufac-
turers had mislaid our order,
and on writing to ascertain
the delay were informed that
the demand was so great that
each order had to be taken in
turn, and ours being away
down on the list, it would take
some time to reach it.
We had these goods made up
in BALBRIGGAN, as they are the
incest and coolest goods to
wear.
In the backs and fronts of
these Shirts, pure, soft wool
has been skillfully woven to
protect the lungs from cold.
To those who cannot wear
Atwood garments, these goods
are a boon.
New and fresh from the
looms, a novelty never before
introduced here, and an absO-
lutte necessity to those who de-
sire to maintain their health.

Chicago, The Fair and the Fire.

One of the most remarkable facts
noticeable among the influx of visitors
to the Fair is their keen interest in the
great city, her past history and present
wonderful growth, and the marvellous
rebuilding that has taken place since
Chicago was swept away by the flames
of the fire of 1871. This is nowhere
more manifest than at the Cyclorama
of the, Chicago fire, Michigan Avenue
and Madison Street, where the beauti-
full effects that the artists haye secured
in painting the great conflagration are
like nothing ever yet shown in cyclor-
annie work the burning embers. hurl-
ing through the air by the hurricane
that was blowing on that memorable
October day, the topping walls, por-
tons of which are shown in mid air,
blown there by an explosion of giant
powder, clouds OF ruddy hue, tinted
by the flames, the shadows of which
are dancing on the doomed buildings
all so realistic as to be startling in
their effect, and one can almost inn
agine the work of destruction to be
at the moment going on. The visitor
to Chicago will find this one of the
most interesting exhibitionsin the city.

SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING.
Timely Words on a Seasonable
Topic for Business Men.

Some writer, whose name has been
lost, unfortunately, but whose knowl-
edge of his topic must remain UNI
doubted, has written few words on
advertising q retail business which are
so well adapted to any latitude that
no apology is due for reproducing a
few of the nuggets of wisdom which
the article contains. He says:
The prime object, first, last and all
the time of an advertisement is to draw
custom. 1t is not, was not, and never
will be designated for any other
human purpose. So the merchant
waits until the busy season comes and
the store is 50 full of customers that
he cannot get his hat off, and then he
rushes to the business Office and puts
in his advertisement. When the dull
season comes along, and there is no
trade, and he wants to sell goods SO
badly he can't pay his rent, he dis
continues his advertisement. That is,
some of them do, but occasionally a
level-headed man puts in bigger
one and scoops in all the trade, while
his neighbors are making mortgages to
raise money to pay the gas bill.
There are times when they couldn' t
sup BSOllO LAOiii W. MS WV bhiii >
they have for sale, and right then is
the time some business men send their
advertisements out on its holy mission.
Advertisements are built to do hard
work, and should be relentlessly sent
out in the dull days, when a customer
has to- be struck between the eyes with
hard facts, kicked insensible with
startling bankrupt reductions, and
dragged in and laid on the counter
with irresistible slaughter of prices be-
fore he will spend cent or buy n saw.
Give the public your advertisement
as square knock-dOwn blow, right
in the dull season, and thereby you
will wax rich and own Proctor Knott
or some kindred fast horse to enable
you to throw dust from your wheels
on your less sensible neighbors and
win shekels thereby, and perhaps be
able to smoke good cigar on Thanks
giving and Christmas.
Now, just write this down where
you will fall over it every day. The
time to look for and draw business is
when you want business, and not when
you already have more business than
you can attend to.

THE PLANO.

Oh, the dandy Plano binder,
With the fly wheel on behinGer;
Look for etter,-you'llnot find FER,
A goin' thro' the rye.
The fly wheel light and strong,
Shoves the binder straight along,
And the horses sing a song,
A goin' thro' the rye.
The farmers feel so gay,
When the binder works this way,
And the horses kick and play,
A goi1' thro' the rye.
The fly wheel does it all,
Whether grain Is short or tall;
The mares don't tug and haul,
A goin' thro' the rye.
Say, you happy farmer fellers,
Fly wheels run corn shelters,
"True" our rival fairly bellers,
AS the Plano cuts the rye.
For the fly wheel stores up power,
And our rivals acts so sour,
And stay angry by the hour,
While the Plano cuts the rye,
All We farmers pay attention,
We have kicked up much dissention,
For the fly wheel we do mention,
AS we cut the sturdy rye.
For the fly wheel is daisy,
Though it drives our rivals crazy,
They are in the distance hazy,
AS the Plano cuts the rye.
Then buy Plano binder,
With fly wheel on behind 'er,
With our agents you will finder,
When you want to cut your rye.

SOUTH LONDONDERRY VT, FRIDAY MORNING JAN. 49, 1893

A convention, composed of dele.
gates from the Middle and New Eng.
land States, will be held at Washing.
ton this week to urge Congress to
take early steps towards building a
SLIP canal across New York State
from Oswego to the Hudson River.
The principle topic, says press dis
patch, will be the construction by the
government of a ship canal from the
Great Lakes to the Hudson River.
Secretary Thompson of the Duluth
Chamber ofCommerce says that there
will be large attendance from all
sections of the country and that New
York will have about fifty delegates.
The objection that the canal would
take too much water from the Mag
aria River is disposed of by the fact
that the canal will be composed of
stagnant tanks, and the entire
amount of water used in locking a
vessel is less than that which rushes
over the falls every second.
