Montpelier Illustrated.

The St. Johnsbury Cdledonidn says: 1.-THE
souvenir edition of the Montpelier Watch
man, which has recently been issued, is
really an illustrated history of the capital
of Vermont, and the book reflects great
credit upon the enterprise and typographical
skill of the Watchman Publishing Company.
The first half of the book is devoted to the
history of Montpelier, which is well writ
ten by j. A. DeBoer. Beginning with the
founding of the town in 17S7 the writer
touches upon all the events which have
made the town in the century or more that
followed the building of the log house on
the Branch. The rest of the book is de-
voted to very full description of the bust
ness interests of the town, including all
branches of industry. The book is fully il
lustrated with half.tone cuts, and there is
not a page but what contains one or more
of these pictures. The state house, the fed
eral building, the statue of Ethan Allen and
the Bennington cannon are among the first
pictures. One of the finest pictures in the
book, from printers standpoint is 'Athen-
wood the residence of Hon. I. w. Wood,
president of the National Academy of De-
sign But this is by no means the only
residence in the book" Flexible covers,
fifty cents; by mall seventy-five cents;
cloth binding, S1.OO; by mail, S1,25.

The following modest card has appeared
in several issues of this paper: " Miss Clag-
ett's Home and Day School for Girls re-
opens October 8. College preparatory. Reg
ular and elective courses. Specialists in
each Tenth year. No 252 Marlborough
street. Boston" We are able from personal
knowledge TO speak of this school so un-
ostentatiously advertised. We know it to
be a school of high excellence. Each branch
of study has its skilled instructor. and the
labors of the teacher are supplemented by
those helps to a broad and rational culture
and development that a city like Boston so
abundantly affords. These appear in lec-
lures by persons eminent in literature OF
famous in travel or other fields of achieve
ment, and in the liberal employment in the
business of education of those accessories OF
art music, science and literature a great
brings out the best there is in girl. 1t is
normal, The girl lives in a delightful home
atmosphere. The social life and education
is kept abreast of the intellectual, and the
physical health is jealously protected. Miss
Clagett has been fortunate in combining in
a high. grade school, having broad and COM
prehensive courses of study, the freedom
of delightful home, in which precept and
practice supplement- the intellectual, with a
simple and correct social education. The
school is situated on broad and airy street
in the most healthful and attractive resi-
dence part of the city. The environment is
all that could be desired, and internally the
arrangements, sanitary and otherwise, are
the best that are combined in modern
dwellings. Without reserve, we commend
this school to the attention of parents and
guardians.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan, 27.-There is
anice dispensary row brewing in Char
lesion. Governor Tillman receiv sd a
dispatch to-day informing him that
~Dispensary Constable j. II. Elliott had
been tried for striking a woman, con-
victed and sentenced. The Governor
Immediately wired Chief Constable
Gaillard to notify the trial Justice that
Elliotts pardon would be forwarded as
soon as he received a copy of the sem
tence and not to commit him to jail.
Later the Governor got another dis
patch from Gaillard asking permission
to get rifles for the constables there,
in addition to their pistols, as he fear
ed trouble. The Governor telegraphed
Capt. Cogswell, of the Washington
Light Infantry, to know if his COM
pany could be depended uponto sustain
the law.
On receipt of an affirmative reply, he
wired Cogswell to notify the members
to be in readiness to be called ON at
any time.
Governor Tillman is very cool about
the matter, but stated that he was de-
termlned, more so because he thought
the whiskey men were behind the
tOughs melting them to embarrass the
~constabalary. He Il Y that the wit
neSses against Elliott had lied, and he
intended to swOop down on the trial
Justices for allowing such men to be
put on ~iurics.
