Col. Webb Appears on the Scene.
From the Montpelier Journal.I

Col. w. Seward Webb, the representa-
tive from Shelburne, was the cynosure of
all eyes Wednesday morning as he was es-
corted to the bar of the house to take the
oath of Office. A good deal of gush and
nonsense has been floating around the
state press regarding Col. Webb since his
election to the legislature. He bears the
stamp of an unassuming gentleman, makes
no ostentatious or vulgar display of his
wealth, and, unless appearances are de-
ceitful and the predictions of his friends
are not verified, he will be found useful
working member of the house, both on
the floor and in the committee room.

HE IS A POET.


Mr.. j. L. Marshall, formerly Of this
county, is devoting much of his time now
to writing poetry. He is contributing to
a number OF papers in this state and is
making for himself quite a reputation.
Here are a few comments we find in the
papers:
"The Silver Statesman has made ar
rangements with Mr.. ]. l.. Marshall, one
of the finest poets in the state, for an
original poem for each issue of the paper.
This week we publish a beautiful produc-
ton, entitled, The Faithful Band which
will be found on the eighth page."-Silver
Statesman.
"Mr. Marshall was for some time a con-
tributor to the Progress, having furnished
for publication about forty poems, through
which many pretty figures that show art
and study n native genius, can be
found. But like all writer's who draw
for inspiration on the muses., he has had

Army Music In England.

Since 1857 every army musician in England must have passed through course of instruction at Kneller hall- the former residence in Twickenham of Sir Godfrey Kneller. The bandsmen are supposed to be mere private soldiers and receive the regulation shilling 8 day, plus a penny extra for the guards, and sixpence per diem to provide them selves with furnished rooms.
 It is of course absurd to suppose that first rate performers would be satisfied with this miserable stipend when they could easily earn G2 or e9 week by mere evening work at the theaters. They therefore receive a varying extra allowance from the band fund of the regiment, the government contributing e8O year per regiment toward the cost of music and instruments.
 The bandmaster, who is & warrant officer and is under the military orders of the drum major, nominally gets 6 shillings to 6 shillings per day, plus gro year from the band fund. Both bandsmen and their conductor, however, derive the greater part of their income from private engagements, and trades unions congresses have more than once protested that the employment of the army bands at fetes, garden parties, baZaars and so forth is unfair to the civilian professional bandsmen.

Within the last two years family moved from the oity to the country. There were about the new place great number of mosquitoes, and the possibil- ity of an intimate acquaintance with this insect was serious drawback to their enjoyment of their new home. As the mosquito season arrived there were complaints of suffering that made night 8 dread. By some means mosquitoes would get into the house, even though every door and window were tightly mosquitoes crept through the wires and grew to maturity in the apartment. At all events they did their mischievous work to the great disfgurement and dis tress of the members of the household, but they were located and could not change their residence, thing they would gladly have done for this reason alone, so serious was the trouble.
 Toward the latter part of the season 1t was observed that the bites, instead ot swelling and forming blotohes an inch or so across, grew less annoying until on several occasions there were bites on the hands that produced no results beyond the immediate sting of the bite. A lit tie notice proved the fact that several members of the family had by some process become practically exempt. and the mosquito plague became but tri- fling item of annoyance. It might be in' teresting to follow up this subject and see whether the introduction of thif poison into the system has the same ef fect as vaccination, rendering the per son almost if not altogether proot against suffering from future punoturel from these hitherto troublesome pests New York Ledger,

The Drivers Error.

. "A misunderstanding as to the mean" ing of word sometimes leads to pecul- far situations, said Rev. A. L. Smith of Chicago. "In company with several other ministers was riding in a stage or hack, which served the purpose of 8 stage, en ronte to a camp meeting. The road wound around the mountains, and the air was delightful, while the scenery was almost sublime. I was invigorated as though by powerful tonic, and sev- eral times remarked upon the ozone in the air. After one of these observations the driver stopped his horses. and, beck oning to me slyly, climbed from the seat. Wondering what he could want, followed him, and soon we were behind large tree, out of the view of the wag- on. 'Parson, said the driver, T oouldn't I bear to see you suffer. The ozone you smelled was in my pocket. With these words he drew forth a large bottle od whisky, which he offered to me. It tooh several minutes to convince him that Il was not whisky had referred to al ozone. "-Washington Star.
