Senator German ON the Governors Ap
poIntments.

Senator German said yesterday to a
reporter: mo one has spoken to me
of such action, ~ suppose Governor
Brown would have technically the legal
right to appoint officers before Cover
nor Iowndes comes in, although that
course has never been pursued. Yet |
do not think the Democratic party can
afford to take advantage of such tech
nicality. The Democrats and Republi-
cans and their allies had square fight
last fall and the Republicans and their
allies won. These appointments are
among the things that go with victory.
No, do not believe that Gov. Brown
or any other Democrat seriously con-
templates taking such action"

MOST SAVAGE OF SPIDERS.

The TarantuIa Endowed with Enough
Courage to Attack Larger Enemiea.
The tarantula is a large burrowing
spider which dwells in q shaftlike hole
it sinks in the earth. Its appearance is
most repulsive, and inspires anyone
who examines it with feeling of pro-
found disgust AS it stands, it fire.
quently covers an area as large as the
palm of mau's hand, and over its body
and legs there bristles a thick covering
of red-brown hair. 1t may be said that
It's homo is in many lands, but its great
est size is attained in tropical and semi
tropical countries. In the south of Eu-
rope, along the Mediterranean coast, it
has been known for centuries as the
mad spider" because the symptoms
following it's bite are similar to those
Of hydrophobia. There the peasantry,
especially those of Sicily, regard it
with mingled feelings of hate and SUI
perstitious dread. They will tell you
that the only chance of recovery from
its bite is for the patient to commence
dancing without delay and to continue
until he falls senseless from exhaustion
"a remedy which, ridiculous as it
seems, has something to be said in it's
favor, when we know that the one
danger to overcome is the tendency; to
sleep, says Chambers Journal. AS long as
this can be successfully avoided the pa
tient is in no danger; but if he give way
and allows himself to fall into stupor,
then he is likely to succumb, even from
the comparatively mild poison of the
European variety. ...... ............
1t is in the tropical countries of
South America, however, where all
forms of insect and vegetable life at
tain their highest development, that
this great spider is most deadly. And
further north, in the provinces of Mex
leo, where it is quite as numerous,
its poison is only slight degree less
dangerous. There we have met it.
everywhere and studied it's habits. In
the orange orchards, the vineyards and
the open prairies we have watched it
attack enemies many times it's own
size, and marveled at the ease with
which it overcamc them. Even it's own
kind are not exempt from its fierce on
slaught, and we remember once seeing
pair of them meet on the upturned
root of fig tree and fight duel to the
death-the death of both. Of man it
seems to have no fear whatever, and
will stack without hesitation either his
hand or his foot, if they come within
striking distance. In doing so it stands
upon its four hind legs. 1t opens wide
its enormous fangs until the mandibles
protrude in straight line from it's face;
then, with all the muscular force it is
capable of, launches itself forward,
sinking them with a vicious thrust
deep into the flesh of the enemy.

There was a pleasant gathering at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Chauncey Hunt
last Wednesday, when the fiftieth anniver-
sary OF their marriage, and the wedding Of
Adele Pearl, their youngest daughter, to A.
Willard Putnam OF Middlesex, were cele-
brated. Mr.. and Mrs. Hunt have for many
years been prominent and esteemed citizens
OF the town. All OF their eight children are
living and all were present to enjoy the oc-
casion. There was not a vacant chair at the
gathering, and in all these years death has
not once entered the immediate family,
though some OF their children have been
thus afflicted. The children are DR.. G. n.
Hunt, the well-known and prosperous ply
stefan, DR.. George E., dentist, Henry E.,
deputy sheriff, and Eta j., all of MoDtpe-
lier, Charles l.. and Mrs. Ella L. Minott of
Middlesex, and Dean q. K, who lives with
his parents. ln6r6 were nIUeen
dren present and one great-grandchild, max
ing four generations. The guests were the
members of the Hunt family and their chill
dren, with the near relatives of Mr.. Putnam
and few invited guests. The house was
prettily decorated for the occasion, and the
bride and groom stood under a bell sup
ported by an arch of evergreen while the
ceremony was performed with ring, by
Rev. p. II, Carpenter, assisted by Rev. Mr..
Deuel. The bride was handsomely attired
in cream white Lansdown with lace. After
the ceremony the company repaired to the
dining room, where sandwiches, salad, cake
and coffee W sre served Rev. p. II. Car
penter, whose pleasant acquaintance with
the family has extended through twenty
five years, made very feeling and appropri.
ate remarks. There were several excellent
musicians in the party, and the.occason was
frightened and enlivened by some vocal
and instrumental selections. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hunt were remembered with numerous
gifts, among them handso ne bag of vel
low silk which contained quantity OF gold
pieces of good-sized denomination. The
newly welded pair were not forgotten, but
were the recipients OF many useful and val
liable gifts They left for Montpelier with
the good wishes of all present, and took the
3. 30 train for Montreal. The occasion was
in every way very enjoyable, and all those
who were present express the hope that
they may have the opportunity of honoring
the worthy couple on many future anniver-
saries.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1895-01-30

A VANDALIA express train was wrecked
at Catsville, Ind, near Indianapolis last
Monday. Two persons were killed and
thirty badly injured. The train was run
ming at full speed and was about ten min
utes late. 1t had just passed the town and
was rounding curve when the track
spread. The private car Of the president,
G. II. McKeon, which was ON the rear,
jumped the track. This was followed by
the parlor car and then the ladies' car. All
went off the track, the two rear cars coming
down the embankment ten feet before the
train could be stopped The smoker left
the track, but did not go over. Two rear cars
work of rescue began.

Publishing the Laws.

The Retormer goes into arithmetic to
show what bad mess the state made
of it in publishing the laws for news
paper distribution in a sixteen-page
supplement. Take the matter in the
Rgornaer's last analysis, print these
laws in the size of type and on sheet
of the size it describes-which was
done by the WATCHMAN for all the
papers of the state in 1888 and 1890
the plan of publication is then ruin
ously expensive and wasteful. Nearly
100000 copies, instead of $4,000, as es.
timated by the Reformer, are required
to supply the newspapers of the state.
Ninety per cent of these are practically
wasted. Thousands of people receive
all the way from one to dozen copies,
according to the number of state papers
they take; other thousands care moth
ing at all for one copy much less for
a larger number-using them for waste
paper. In weeks time after distribu-
ton, ninety per cent are probably out of
existence. Ten per cent serve tenn
porary purpose, but ultimately are
numbered with their fellows. They
have become creased and worn and are
valueless for reference. The theory of
publication is good one; in practice
it amounts chiefly to giving the news
papers what, if the compensation is
large enough, is much.coveted "pull"
at the state treasury. There was, how
ever, no "pull +" in the job at the re-
cent distribution. After deducting
postage and expense of mailing, the
compensation was very small. The
states assembled wisdom will have to
wrestle with this matter again.
But why need the state make any
provision for newspaper publication?
1t prints the session laws in book form,
which are distributed throughout the
state on plan that renders the new
laws accessible to all who care for or
are seeking information as to the enact
ments of the legislature. Further
more, it is fact that the great mass of
new laws has little reference to the
people at large. Corporal of one
kind or another, special interests in one
form or another, occupy the time of the
legislature. The new enactments in
which the people at large are interested
are not many. Very few out of the
great mass of citizens give more than
curious, casual glance at the law sup
plement, and the few who are inter
ested in this or that new law or change
of old law are quite likely to have their
copy from official sources. The United
States does not, so far as we are in
formed, make newspaper publication of
the laws enacted by congress, nor is the
practice general among the states. So,
if the Reformer would press its stand
ing, but somewhat cratic, demand for
" house cleaning" to a rational issue,
it would follow in the footsteps of its
able townsman, Hon. James l.. Martin,
