The following specimen of curious
punctuation are given by the Prin-
ter's Register, or Brooklyn; "A man
was felled by railroad car running in
at Boston, supposed to be deaf" A
man writes eve have decided to
erect school house large enough to
accommodate five hundred scholars,
FIVE stories high" A geography has
this: "Albany has one hundred hous-
es and four hundred inhabitants, all
standing with their gabee ends to the
street." On u certain steamboat this
notice was printed: thereafter the
tickets shall be twenty five cents.
Children half price. TO be had at the
office" A newspaper describing the
doings of the convention at Cleveland,
said "The procession was very fine,
and nearly two miles long, as was also
the prayer of DR.. Perry, the chaplain. J"
IS. S. Classmate.
PRAYER is a closing of the eyes on
things seen, and opening them on
things unseen. It is penitence vocal,
faith makinkg its profession, and love
kindling into flame. 1t is heart
brought to the alter, a flower opening
to the benignant eye of heaven. 1t is
Il putting off the shoes at Horeb. 1t is
u walk to Emanus. 1t is to be present
in the upper chamber, to sit quietly by
the Saviours side. lean the head on
his bosom. and feel the beating OF
Immanuel's heart.
Do to days duty, fight to-day's
temptation, and do not weaken and
distract yourself by looking forward to
things which you cannot see, and
could not understand if you saw them.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Memorial Day seems to be growing
more and more important. 1t is real
ly the only important patriotic day of
the year. The 4th of July, SO long the
respected patriotic day, has descend
ed into a class of low sports, noise and
recreation. Memorial Day will be
held in sacred remembrance by sol
diers of the late war as long as they
live, and their friends will keep up its
observance when they are gone. The
custom of grave decorations is an ap-
propriate and touching one, and the
custom of placing plants, flowers and
floral decorations on the grave is more
and more observed. The people out
side of soldier ranks are following the
practice of the Grand Army, and it
will not be long before Memorial Day
will be a day observed by all, and will
be devoted to the visiting and the
decoration of the graves of the dead.
The soldiers Memorial services are
becoming of more Importance to the
old soldier as the years pass away and
as the thought comes to each that the
grave will be the resting place of that
which is mortal. The addresses of
those who speak on Memorial Day are
usually historical, patriotic and en-
ergetic. The public is becoming more
interested in the personal things of
the war and the soldier is more and
more honored. To him anything that
pertains to the great contest is of in
creasing interest.
The attempt now being made to in
terest and instruct the children is felt
in the Memorial services in which they

with the silverites. At the recent
silver convention held in Salt Lake
city it was decided to raise fund of
$3.50, 600 per month to carry on an ag-
gressive campaign of education. This
money is to be raised by contributions
from individuals, mining companies,
and people generally interested in
free coinage. Silver headquarters
will be opened in New York, Chicago,
ST. Louis, Pittsburg, Washing ton, and
other points where necessary. Clubs
are to be organized in every precinct,
county, and State, and specific plan
agreed upon for the raising of money
and the distribution Of literature.

The New York World claims that
because we ship some manufactures
of cotton goods, iron and steel, ma
chinery, sewing machines, nav
al stores, mineral oils and manufac-
tured goods to England it is proof
that "the United Kingdom takes more
of our total exports than we sell to
all other countries combined" Hard
ly. The bulk of such goods that we
ship to England is merely sent there
for re-export to other countries, be-
cause of the supremacy Of the English
flag on the high seas and her facilities
for reaching the other markets of the
world. If our Free Trade contempo-
rary will only help US in securing pro-
lection to American ships, such round
about methods of transportation will
no longer be necessary.

st. Adams business men are show
ing the true Vermont grit and already
the matter of rebuilding is being ar
ranged. In year from this month,
it is safe to predict, the burned dis
trict'' will present some handsome
new blocks filed with ''hustling'' bus
mess men. The village trustees by
the way have made a move in the
right direction by adopting new fire
ordinances which prohibit the erec-
ton of wooden buildings or of any
structure havingithe cornices or roofs
of combustible material within certain
prescribed limits. The ordinances
also require a permit to be obtained
of the trustees before the erection of
any building is begun in the village
limits. This is measure which ought
to be inserted in the bylaws of every
incorporated village. In these days
of extensive fires and high insurance
rates the village authorities should
govern the erection of new buildings
SO far as they pertain to the general
safety of the public.-NelCs.

Some idea of the immense sums in
volved in the construction and main
tenance of many Of the skyscraping
Office buildings in the larger cities can
be gained from figures taken from the
annual report of the Masonic Temple
association of Chicago just issued.
The Masonic Temple building and
ground cost SO, ,633 ,444 and its furni-
ture and fixtures $38, 10Y. The revenue
received during the year just closed
amounted to 1856, ,4O1, and the expens-
es, including repairs, taxes and inter
est on 81, 800, 900 five per cent bonds
were $195, $50, leaving as net earnings
for the year, $60,621. The Masonic
Temple therefore paid its taxes and
interest on 81, ,5OO,0 five per cent
bonds were S195,780 leaving as net
earnings for the year $60,621. The
Masonic Temple therefore paid it's
taxes and repairs and earned frac-
tion over 3.6 per cent on the capital
invested.

Secretary Gresham of President
Cleveland's cabinet, who had been i'll
with pneumonia and other ailments,
died early last week at his home in
Washington. His career had been
somewhat checkered, but he had been
held in esteem by both parties and by
the people of Indiana, his late home.
He was veteran of the war and won
promotion on account of his military
ability and courage He held several
important offices as a republican, and
at one time was a prominent candi-
date for the presidency in a republic
an convention. This failure seemed
to sour him in that party and he drift
ed into the democracy. President
Cleveland selected him as Secretary
of State His career in the important
affairs of the last two years has not
been particularly successful. He was
a man of good ability, and as Fed
eral Judge won credit 70 himself.

NO MODEL ABOUT IT.

Referring to the gross inequalities
in the existing system Of representa-
| ton by towns, the Bennington Ban
1oer makes point by comparing the
representation of Bennington, with
its 200 voters, with that of the ad-
joining town of Glastonbury, having
seven or eight voters. Each voter in
Glastonbury, remarks the Banner, has
$50 times the representation that a
Bennington voter receives. ST. George
in Chittenden county, population 106,
cast % votes at the last election;
Somerset, in Windham county, pop
lation 81, cast 20 votes. These towns
constitute the Big Four in Vermont's
representative system, and each can
checkmate the most populous town in
the county of its location. st. Georges
106 can hold at bay Burlington's $500
Somerset's 81, Brattleboro's 1000;
Baltimore's 64 are match for either
of the populous communities of Hart
ford, Springfield or Woodstock. Scor-
es of similar illustrations might be
made to show how, at one vital point,
the state is very far from being the
much vaunted "model republic'' of
which we are all so proud at election
time, when big majorities are wanted.
-Wutchn1an.
In dull times papers are put to some
straits for interesting matter with
which to regale or delude the in
nocent reader. Some of them, as will
be seen above, are trying to right up
the matter of representation. This is
good discussion, but it will amount
to nothing. In the first place the
constitution of the State is in the way,
and in the next place it is i'm
possible to make representation
perfectly equal, and if not equal, no
ratio can be fixed that will remedy
the supposed evil. 1t is supposed that
a mans influence in public affairs is
measured by his ability, and that the
larger towns will be able to send the
stronger men who are able to cOun-
teract the voting power of the
smaller constituencies. If an attempt
is made to change affairs in this di-
rection, representation will naturally
be cut down making the number of
representatives much smaller. Mean
while the affairs of the state are going
on pretty well and nobody is suffer
ing any very serious injury from the
fact that the large towns and the
small ones have equal voting power
in the house of representatives. This
is only a mild penalty for being large
and for outgrowing some Of the towns
less fortunate in numbers.

England's movement to annex Anna
tongland, in Africa, is intended to
prevent the South African republic

2,194, $50, France, $685. and Ger

Hon. Seneca Haselton, who was ap-
pointed minister to Venezuela year
or two ago, and against whom were
charges made by Admiral Meade, on
the occasion of his visit to that coun
try several months ago, has now tend
cred his resignation, to take effect in
three weeks, at which time his leave
Of absence expires. When he was re-
called he went to Washington, to as
certain the nature of the charges,
which were understood to be intoxi-
cation and neglect of his duties, but
was not permitted to see the presi-
dent, nor shown the charges till he
would promise to resign. The charg-
es have not yet been made public, and
no one knows what they are except
the parties interested. Mr.. Haselton
says they are false, but tenders his
resignation under duress of the ad-
ministration, without being allowed a
hearing, or being permitted to refute
the charges made.
Mr.. B. B Smalley of this city, and
Senator Proctor went to Washington
in Mr.. Haselton's interest, but they
could not influence the government
in the slightest degree. These gentle
men are rather reticent in regard to
the matter, but intimate that Mr..
Haselton's mind and physical condi-
ton seem to have been affected, pos
sibly by the climate, and that it
would be better for him to resign, and
recuperate, at any rate.
No one who knows Mr. Haselton
here has ever for moment credited
the charge of intoxication, as he was
never known to be drinking man,
has held important offices, and was
for three years mayor of Burlington,
and was held in the highest esteem
by both political parties.-Eaqle.
