as we said. If we said it was
stuffed with hair-you'll find hair

satisfaction, and if it ever wears
out, you will come back for

ABOUT PEOPLE.

Mascagni has son who Is studying
the violin at the Rossini academy OF
Pesaro. He is only eight years OF
age, but he is soon to be brought out as
an infant prodigy.
Senator Hansbrough wore recently
the most remarkable suit ever seen in
the senate chamber. AT first glance
II looked like the cheapest Japanese
silk. 1t is straw color, with broad,
dark stripe running round and round
the material, like the stripes of a
zebra.
Mrs. Emily Parker, wife of the law
partner of the late Ben Butler, lived

Sarah Bernhard returned to Paris
from England only to be off again a
day or SO later to her holiday diggings
in Brittany. There she becomes true
child Of nature, spending most of her
time in rambling and shrimping. This

vorable idea of the English nation and
even goes so far as to assert that the
Londoners have begun to belle their
reputation Of glacial GOODNESS.

THE LONDONDERRY SITTER. :

The treasury department has pre-
pared the figures showing the immi-
grafton for the month of July.
They show total immigration into
the United States of 14,756, against
2l,476 for the corresponding month
last year.
This decrease is considered rather
remarkable in view of the stimulus in
business conditions in the United
States during the past few months,
experience having demonstrated that
the tide of immigration to the United
States follows closely the opportuni-
ties which exist here for those seek
ing better conditions under which to
make the struggle for life.
During the past few years of de-
preston immigration steadily de-
creased. Last year the total was
less than the number which came in
single year from Germany alone.
The Central Vermont railroad did
the right thing for patrons who visit
ed the State far. Transportation
was right, trains were frequent and
the roads management did every
thing to accommodate the visitors.

Seth Low has accepted. the nomina-
ton of the citizens union for Mayor
of greater New York. This nomi-
nation is backed by over 100000 vo.
tiers and is giving Tom Platt, the
owner of the Republican party in
New York, great trouble. Platt
doesn't want Low and a third nomi-
nation would be equivalent to giving
the new city over to the loving en-
brace of Tammany. This Platt
would probably prefer to seeing Low
Mayor Notwithstanding the latter is a
good Republican. The trouble is
Low is supposed to- be an honest
man. The Republicans of the big
city are in sore trouble, yet there is
an easy way out. Ten feet of good
rope, lamp post and little moral
courage would cook the big boss
goose in satisfactory manner to all
honest Republicans everywhere.

There were great doings in the base

day afternoon. Those two famous
dealers in contrabond liquor, Daniel
P. Peabody and N. S. Stearns, began
about o'cock to take an inventory Of
ale, beer, wine, gin, rum, brandy,
whiskey and cold king which was
stored in the Rutland county wine eel
lar, and it was after 4 o'clock when
the last drop Of forfeited liquor, the
accumulations of six mouths, had been
drained into the sewer. Both mem
bers of the official firm as well as an
assistant wore overalls and macintosh
es. These protectors came in very
handy, for at times it simply rained
soft stuff and every one in the cellar
was unceremoniously treated to beer
baptism.
There are several recognized ways of
opening a barrel of beer. Deputy
Sheriff Stearns does not follow any OF
them. He pounds in the plug until
the fountain begins to play, and then
looks around for the sewer and rolls
the barrel about. 1t is pleasanter for
spectator if he stands in the next
room.
There was a portion of the cellar
wall that the flying beer did not reach
yesterday. This could not be said Of
the persons standing in the vicinity, as
the beer fell on the just aud unjust,
perhaps more on the former than the
latter.
The city judge was not present yes
terday. He condemned all the liquor
and beer, bnt some of it seemed from
superficial indictions 10 be frstclass

Il think, Mr.. Stearns," remarked
the sheriff in one of those pauses that
come after ul.corking bottle of Tom
gin, 'that the workmen have found the
other end of this sewer. One of them
asked me for cup tins noon" The
deputy did not do thing, and there
was no trace of emotion, not even q
dry smile, on his Photographic coun
tenance as he watched the sheriff poul
out the gin to the very last drop.
There was complicated atmosphere
in the cellar after the sealed bottles o
whiskey and rum and all that haC
cncorkt d, and beer foam stood abou
three inches thick on the floor. Til,
The aroma of many liquors arising

two hours is very arduous.

and as many half barrels were poured
out, and they took up of the empt,

The fact that Senator McLaurin
has been so overwhelmingly Endorsed
for reelection at the primaries held
in South Carolina is significant as
showing the trend of public sentiment
in the South on the tariff question.
1t will be remembered that this Sem
ator was one of the four Southern
Senators that broke away from the
old time Democratic doctrine of free
raw material and this endorsement
would indicate protection growth

Mr.. EDITOR; / find that "single
story" f. M. T. and d. ID. w,
have heaps of trouble and the trouble
seems just now too much rain, and
after whining sorely they seem to
want to lay the blame upon Slim
who doeth all things WE'LL" for they
even would censure God, and ask
why He should torment his lower
class of beings. This is but sam
pie of the narrow views taken by
many. They want to dictate TO even
our maker. And will they tell me
why, if so be their intent to advise
and influence Deity, they do not do
so through the regular channels, for
in every little hamlet in the land
rises a "House of Cod" erected ex.
pressly for Gods sinners. Here each
Sabbath and many times each week
the advisers of Heaven congregate to
brag about their good qualities, how
holy they are and how bad they used
to be, and to advise omnipotence
what to do, how to do it and when to
begin. These free advisers are scat
tered broadcast over the earth. In
New England they are praying foi
dry weather, in Texas for rain, in
India for rain, less taxes and more tc
eat, in England for chance to steal
some small territory, in Spain for a
new torture system for patriots, and
in all Europe for the destruction of
Anarchist, and the Anarchists pray.
ing for chance to blow up all Gods
chosen, Heaven appointed, heredi-
tary crowned heads in the world.
And so it goes, one asks Heavens
ruler to do what another does not
want and whether it is 'sprout land
or "original forest that causes rain
whether it be the free silver agitator
or the Mckinley boom that causes
worms in apples; whether it be
Woman Suffrage in the Western
states or Bryan's lectures that causes
potatoes to rot. One thing we are
sure of that never in the remembrance
of the oldest Inhabitants has prayer
ever effected the weather, the length
of the years, the length of life OIL
beaten death. 1t seems an inocent
disease, sort of half crazy delusion,
but thank Heaven no one ever has
been able to dictate terms to omnipo-
tence, RAIN or shine. 81 CLONE.

Randolph Herald:

The argument of locality is being
invoked already in favor of each of
the leading candidates for the next
governorship. Bennington county
(Which is Mccullough had its last
governor in 1858 so in the person OF
Hiland Hall, while the father of the
present aspirant from Franklin
county, j. Gregory Smith, was the
last governor furnished by that
county, his terms covering 1868 60.
In all, Bennington county has fur
nished the state with gubernatorial
timber for ~ years, while Franklin
has only six years to its credit. The
adherents of both Messrs. McCul-
Tough and Smith can draw satisfac-
tion from this showing, the former
because it is their 'turn" and the
latter because Franklin county has
not chad enough"
