There promises to be a merry war over

Springfield, Hon. Marsh o. Perkins of

Col. Franklin Fairbanks, Col. T. C..
Fletcher and Hon. Il. c. Bates, have
been mentioned" for the place. The
Fair Haven Era is out soldly for Col. L.
\. Woodbury. of Burlington for govern
or, and he Is the only man So far in the
field. And perhaps he will be the only
candidate. The appointment of Gen.
Mccullough of Bennington as one of the
receivers of the Erie railway is believed,
at least in some quarters, to have removed
him from the list of eligibles, and the
boom of Mayor Mead of Rutland seems
to have died young and for good.

The Mannlicher small-calibre rifle late
ly adopted by several European govern
ments is a terrific weapon. The sur
geon general of the Roumanlan army.
who bears the classical name of Demos
themes, has just been experimenting
with these rifles. He procured num-
Der of cadavers, and, placing them about
fifcv yards apart, fired at them at a
range of about 700 yards. He found
that the bullets went through three of
the bodies. The wounds inflicted on the
soft parts of the bodies were less serious
than those inflicted by the old rifles, but
taken altogether the injury done was
more terrible. 1t is computed that the
range of the Mannlicher rifle is % miles.

Here is seasOnable and sensible suC-
gestion from the Boston Journal:
This Is the season when they who have
health, comfort and likewise money
should give thanks for those valuable
possessions by paying tribute to those
who are without them. Life is short; it
is unreal, and to mortal's short sight its
gifts seem verv unevenly distributed. 1t
is good for those on whom fOrtuoe has
smiled to do little toward averaging up
things at this time of the year, and in Il
season of almost unprecedented distress.

The weather, although a trifle too
chilly, is about the right thing to stimulate

cellor Alternately the greater part o.

The record is very large and the case

special term in May.

was asked for in this case. The at
lorneys were Figures & Padgett for
complsinants, Hughes & Hatcher tor
the railroad.
In the County Court last Monday
there were three cases set for trial.
One was disposed of and two were
not. The County Court seems to
have taken lessons from the late un-
lamented Legislature.
The Rainey turnpike matter was
again deferred until the second Mon.
day III May. Also the question of
making the Columbia bridge a toll
bridge, or selling it to the turnpike,
wSs postp ned to the same time.
The committee appointed to con-
fer with Mr.. Timmons concerning
the Santa Fe bridge, conferred; but
the committee and Mr.. Timmons
could not agree, aud right here the
Court left the matter. County at
tOrney Southall advised the Court
that the County was not liable for
the condition OF the bridge, aud il
was not their duty TO build a new
one. And here the matter ended.
The Eleventh district road case
was disposed of. In tlis case Mr.
Man Dawson WAS complaining of the
road commissioners, who had opened
road from Sandy Hook to the ole
military road, and condemned to it,
use some of Mr.. DawsOn's land. The
Court refused to sustain the acts Of
the commissioners, 20 Mr.. Dawson
keeps his land.
The Court then adjourned until the
second Monday in May.

The zeal and loyalty with which
Mrs. Holman for the last ten years

soldiers, deserves high and speci

In all this talk concerning Mr.. Van Allen
there has not been a word Of sympathy for
him. His monocle has been sneered at and
the $4,000 price mark on his fame has been
rudely pointed out and ruthlessly jeered at.
1t is stated and pretty well demonstrated
that the salary which he will receive will
not do much more than pay the rent of a
decent residence for a diplomat. Therefore
he can reap no pecuniary benefit from the
appointment. If Mr.. Van Allen were need
ed by his country at home there would be
some excuse for trying to prevent his de-
parture. But there Is no evidence of such
a sentiment. On the contrary, there seems
to be no great need of Mr.. Van Allen any
where. and so long as he Is willing to
squander his financial resources for the
sake of official position he should be re-
garded with some liberation. If. not with
compassion. 1t is true that he may do
something to make the United States look
foolish in the eyes of the world; but he
would not be altogether a pioneer in such
a performance. The government has had a
good deal Of trouble with complaints from
underpaid employees. and in MIR. Van Aliens
case 1t has at least the assurance that he
will not find fault with the salary.

The condition of those unfortunates who

again because it hopes by reiteration to i'm
