CALLED TO SAMOA.

Hon. Henry {. Ide of this place has
been rendered the appointment of
chief justice OF Samoa and is now
considering the matter. The appoint
ment was made by Germany and
ratified by England and the United
States. The chief justice of Samoa is
"lord of the isles" and the position
is a very responsible one. With an
American at the head of affairs in
Samoa the interests of the United
States will be jealousy guarded.
The CALEDoNlAN heartily congrat-
ulates Mr.. Ide upon the tender of
this appointment and hopes that he
will decide to accept and thus have
a citizen of the United States at the
head of affairs there. The present
chief justice is Swede and should
Mr. Ide decline the office the APP.
pointment would undoubtedly be
offered an Englishman. The appoint
ment is fitting recognition of Mr..
lde's services to Samoa as land COM
missioner.

Nellie F., Raymond and Romulus
are at the state horse fair at White
River Junction this week.
The St. Johnsbury people who
went to the Stanstead races last
week saw some fine trotting. In the
$50 class Gen. CIRCUITS Belle of AL
bany took third money. The best
time in this race was 2.30. The
horses of G. K. Foster of Danville,
p. O., broke two track records, the
two-year-old in 2.4612 and the year
ling in 1874. The latter race was a
halt mile and was won by Rock Farm
Beauty. In the 2.40 class Gen.
CIRCUITS Roadster took second money.
The best time in the race was 2.2812.
In the named race c. E. Kirk entered
Raymond and Romulus, but the lat
ter stepped on stone in the fourth
heat and had to be drawn. Dart
mouth, owned by the Highland
Stock Farm at Derby, won the race
after six heats had been trotted.
The three year.old race was won by
| Guess in two straight heats, best
time 2.32M This hoIse is owned by
Valley Brothers of Barton. But the
best race was the last one in which
Nellie F. won two heats and Silver
ton the third. The race had to be
postponed until Friday when Nellie
easily won in the first heat. In the
third heat Thursday Nellie +. broke
and after she recovered her time was
taken on the grand stand. She trot-
ted the last quarter of the heat in
321a seconds, which is equivalent to
a 2 10 clip. What's the matter with
Nellie F..
At Springfield, the other day, Nan
cy Hanks trotted in 2.08, the fastest
time made on New England tracks.
1t is said that the average time Of
the 203 races trotted thus far this
season is 2.15 and fraction, against
2.19 and a fraction last year. 1t
will thus be seen that our trotters
are improving, as a whole.

"You have a great deal of musical
talent here" remarked a summer
visitor who was present at recent
musicale. The statement is true
enough, and it is only to be regretted
that the musical elements here are
not oftener brought into friendly
contact and given opportunity to
blend while they develop. There is
material enough here for strong,
permanent musical organization,
which should be formed during the
present season.
Some people are good because of a
prospective equivalent, and Others
are good for nothing.

A paragraph in the New York
Herald touches upon curious phase
of the present "hard times" thus:
at is singular fact that while men
and women are starving in over
crowded tenement houses of the city
for lack Of employment in the factor
les, agriculturists and housewives
are unable to get help at excellent
wages on the farm and in the
kitchen" St. Johnsbury housekeep-
ers, in common with others, know
how difficult it is to secure good
help; but just so long as young men
and women continue to be fascinated
by the uncertain inducements offered
by mills and factories, just so long
will "agriculturists and housewives"
be troubled to find reliable help even
at excellent wages"
The business man who was discov-
cred leaning up against the railing in
the post office the other day, with a
look of despair on his countenance,
was not contemplating suicide on
account of the financial stringency.
He had simply forgotten his combin-
alton and was trying to reckon it
up.

what kind of a yard it was that had
been used to wipe off horse. A

serve for this purpose, and the item
only leaves us to infer that it must
have been a soft, velvety, grassy
yard. Otherwise, while we rejoice
that the COW didn't choke, we should
feel sorry for the horse that had
thus recklessly been wiped off.

quite an extraordinary one. II APP
oears that he was the son Of Alexander
i, who was blown to pieces with a
omb by nihilists in 1850, and a hall

III.
a correspondent Of the New YORK
Herald makes tho whole matter Of thu
assassination q "romanoe," which he
.lleges began some forty.three years
go, when the destinies OF the Russian
mpire were controlled by the proud
;Zar Nicholas. At that period the
ncir TO the throne was the CzsrowiN
Alexander, aterwari Alexander II.
Though reared under a parental re.
CLINE Of more than ordinary austerity,
young Alexander managed to ENJOY
life and Ind opportunities to In.
lulgo his taste for gsyety and
pleasure. There had never been
layer "younger act" at the Russian
curt than that led by him, but his
exalted station carried with It penal.
lies as well IA privileges, and following
many similar presidents he was
practically forced into marriage with
a German princess. The fair princess
rom the Teuton laud, however, good
and amiabie though she was, did not
appeal TO the ardent temperament o
he subsequent lover Of Princess Dol
gorouki. Though he submitted with a
good grace to be "sacrlfied on the
matrimonial altar" In the Interests OF
dynastic policy, no had neither the
INCLINATION nor the intention Of for.
akiug his sinful habits, and his atten.
lion to his wife was Of the most per.
iunctory character.
Itwas unieretood In curt circles
that the cz,rowlz was in love with
Baroness Clara Won Gertsneli, n lady
IA waiting on the ozarina, and after
ais marriage she was closely watched.
I was once decided to send her away,
Tut the ozlrowiiz prevented this, the
court gossip meantime becoming more
sud more active. Finally Nicholas
heard Of IL, and being unlike most OF

long before ths coming ruler j)ineI

sue was sent still urthsr away with a
,trlot Injunction not 10 return. Asa
result OF her unlawful alliance with
the czlrjwitz child was born, and In
making the journey required, she died.
Alexander was devotedly attached to
nis oiisprisg, aud as soon as 1t had
arrived a, proper years appointed him

This mysteries, miserles aud o,imas
of the court tf Russia would make n
dark chapter Ia the WORLDS history II

are not always addicted to travelling in

believe such companiouship to exist
only In fsw cases. But certainly 81.
