Form OF IIindoo Baptism.

The following from the Hindoo is
one OF the most sublime productions
ever conceived by the human mind,
and for purity Of tone, excellence of
character, and the highest moral con-
ception OF perfect life, it has no
equal -
"Little babe, thou enterest the
world weeping, while all around thee
smile, May thou so live that thou
mayest depart in smiles, while all
around thee weep"
How grand, how beautiful is the
above sentiment! 1t is worthy the in
spiration of the gods "May thou so
live" These four words alone con-
tain volumes. 1t is an eloquent APP
peal in behalf of the little babe whose
entrance into this world is accompa-
MED with SO much pain ana sorrow,
and whose future veal or woe lies oh
scured by the mist and clouds of I'M
certainty. 1t is, in truth, gentle
enjoinder to $50 live" as to do right
because 1t is right; to be happy and
to make others so; to be. honest. just,
and upright in all things; to be char
table, kind, and affectionate, and
thus merit the honor, love, and re-
spect of the world, so that when death
calls, the departure may be ''in
smiles" midst tears of regret.

In unlikely places, but there has proba-
bly, been no discovery more remarkable
than that of Balzac's dressing gown in
the possession Of the king of Dahomey.
MonArchs are rarely literary, and his
dusky majesty, one would think, was
the very last Of them to have set much
value upon the personal relic Of novel
ist however distinguished. Nevertheless
the French found it in the royal apart
ment at Abomey. There were some m
genious theories founded upon this cir
cumstance One Of the amazons, it was
thought, might have been novel read
er and had sent to Paris to secure the
interesting memento, and on the affair
coming to the knowledge of her sover-
eign had fastened to say she had pur-
chased it for his own shoulders, for in
deed he always wore it upon state occa-
sions. 1t was not dressing gown such
as literary persons in this country are
wont to wear of second class flannel
worn at the edges-but Of purple velvet
embroidered with gold. As matter Of
fact, it had been given to Balzac by
some of his admirers, and after his
death had been bought by dealer in
curiosities, who had placed it, with 9TH
er snowy articles, ON the west African
market. It is sad to think how plain
tale will put down"-that is, destroy
the materials of fine romance. -

After reading the testimony in the ar

it was champagne.
Speaker Crisp's name is unsuited to

Smalley Comes Down on the Chinese.
A dispatch to the Rutland Herald
from Burlington says:
The receipt of a New York paper
containing a sensational account of the
methods ofsmuggling Cinnamon through
the district of Vermont, and by insinu-
ations attacking the character of Collec-
tor B. B. Smalley, created quite a
breeze here this afternoon. Mr.. Small
ley this evening made detailed state
ment of the methods in vogue in the
admission of Chinese, all of which have
had the approval of the treasury de-
partment. The collector said he had
taken every precation possible in exam
lining Cinnamon appearing for admis-
sion through this district. On their
face the papers told of by the New
York paper were absolutely correct,
and it was impossible from this office to
detect frauds perpetrated in New York,
Boston or Montreal. He said he has
implicit confidence in his officers, not
believing them guilty of any irregular
tiles.
Col. Smalley leaves for Washington
tomorrow night and will confer with
the treasury department officials upon
the subject Meanwhile he has put 9
stop to the admission of all Cinnamon
To the general passenger agent of the
Canadian Pacific railway at Montrea
he telegraphed that he was satisfied
gross frauds had been perpetrated ane
that no Cinnamon would be admitted
until further orders.

New York Sun:

new DIX Gun.
We regret to notice that Wilson
Shannon BisselIs precepts to the post
masters are not needed.
At the cost of much labor of compo-
sition to himself and printing to the
government, the postmaster-general is
sued, only the other day, a circular
warning postmasters, especially OF the
first second and third degrees, to be
aware of politics and to flee conven-
tons. He tried to recall the minds
his erring subordinates to the sublime
principles announced by Mr.. Cleve-
land in 1886 in his proclamation in re-
straint of officeholders. "The infu-
ence of federal officeholders, said the
proclamation, should not be felt in the
anipulation Of political primary meet
~ gs and nominating conventions. The
Sc by these officials of their positions,
compass their selections as delegates
political conventions is indecent and
ifair; and proper regard for the pro-
'ieties and requirements of official
ace will also prevent their assuming
he active conduct Of political cam
aigns."
This declaration to officeholders was
i'll sharp in their ears when the Yer
mont democratic convention assembled
st Thursday. Did the postmasters
ny IL their Offices and stamp letters

How the directions of Mr.. Bissell and
w before that REINFORCED order of his
ief? The dispatches from Burlington
compel us to answer reluctant mo"
these questions. Postmaster Don
% lily of Vergennes, Postmaster Brown
m Brandon, Postmaster Hanrahan of
K ltland, Postmaster Robinson of Ben
mlgton, "and scores Of other postnas-
e's" were delegates. Collectors, tie
perennial Bradley B. Smalley at their
head and deputy collectors, u United
States attorney, a United States marsh
al, a superintendent of federal build
ings and a United States consul were in
the faithful band. The convention. in
fact "was largely composed of federal
officeholders.'
Why is Mr. Bissell thus publicly
scorned? Why is the ordinance of Mr.
Cleveland thus made naught of by the
democratic officeholders of Vermont?
Aren't there enough democrats to make
a convention in Vermont without call
ing in the federal officeholders? Or do
the Vermont officcholders assume that

The West Randolph Herald thinks


The West Randolph Herald thinks
that men work for state offices two
years in advance, This is the way it
says it is done;
Men are seen in every town and told
quietly, that 81 am to be candidate
for-- (naming the office two
years hence. Please look after things
in your town and keep me informed if
anything new develops. Work up n
sentiment for me and when the proper
time comes, see that those who are
friendly to me are all out to the caucus,
Keep everything quiet. Don't even
let it be known that | am TO be can
didate till the proper time arrives"
This is the way it goes. 1t is all
right, but how much do the people
really have to say as to who shall be
the candidates?
The SITTER has been enlightening
the people in this way for years, and it
can answer the Herald's closing ques-
ton. The people have nothing to do
about it at all. Their business is to
vote as the bosses tell them. That is
the whole end and aim of their exist
ence, 50 far as politics are concerned.
And furthermore if they are satisfied
with it, and they seem to be, whose
business is it? He that is filthy let him
be filthy still. He loves it Let him
enjoy it. 49,
This fall legislature is to be chosen.
Who will do it, the people? Not much.
From one to four men in each town
will put up the caucusses, name the
candidates and the dear people will de-
post the ballots without any thought
they don't have to think. How easy;
how nice!

The great railroad strike, that has
already cost millions of money and
many lives, is one of sympathy, so
called. The railroad men have no
grievance of their own, but are trying
to assist their fellow workmen at Pull
man, ILL.,, by instituting an outrageous
boycott upon all railroads whose en-
ployees are members of the American
Railway union.
Last May the employees of the Pull
man car company to the number Of
1000 struck against reduction Of
wages. The company claim that they
run their works all last winter at loss
and that it was simply a question Of
quitting work entirely or reduction Of
wages. How true this is no one knows
but it is certain that the Pullman cal
company is a monopoly of the frs
water-only equaled, if at all, by tn,
sugar trust. Since this strike the work
have been closed. Now steps in tn,
American Railway union and says II,
railroad shall draw Pullman car un
til these strikers are set at work. Ant
this has been backed up by the de
struction Of trains, the burning of car
and other outrages bordering upon an

have been called out at various points
