new dignity and respectability. l re-
member a few years ago a noted divine
in this city advised his hearers from the
pulpit to not countenanCe the meetings
to be held in the city the next week by
the National Farmers Alliance. He
seemed to think he scented in the name
both hoOf and horns. To-day we have
"The Ministerial Alliance" "The Chris
tian Alliance" (bOth showing the reli-
gious trend) THE AnglO-American ALI
ance" "a political move), THE Bankers
Alliance" Ga monied corpOration), The
Triple Alliance" "a theatrical attrac-
tom, and various other alliances which
show the eminent Tespectability among
all kinds of business Callings.
Hence one of the attainments of the
Farmers Alliance has been to dignity
labor and of others, to willingly ac-
knowledge it by its adoption.
Our present efforts are for good and
for higher development BY regulating
our thoughts, from which all things
originate, will new conditions manifest,
Our interests are so intermingled and
blended in amount of life and in mind
that we are dependent upon each other.
The strong and we'll balanced accepts
things as they come and does not fret
over the mistakes Of the past, does not
try to control others but seeks to con-
troll himself and in so doing converts
his enemies into friends, thus inCreas-
ing his control, which is far greater than
one who spends his whole life in trying
to control others. Counsel is far better
than rule. Let us scatter light and truth
as the only true way to happiness and
power.

Waterproof Cloth.

This is a process which will render
fabrics waterproof without destroying
their ventilating properties. Procure
two metal vessels of about three gallons
capacity each. In one place ten pounds
sulphate Of alumina cut in thin slices,
and in the other four pounds oleiC acid
and three quarts Of alcohol. Thoroughly
dissolve the latter compound and stir it
with a wooden stick for twenty minutes,
gradually adding the sulphate Of alu-
nina. This is then left to stand for
about twenty-fOur hours to settle. The
oleic acid and the spirit will then be at
the surface, and can be poured off. The
remaining deposit should be strained
through flannel and pressed into a
cake. This can be dried by heat and
ground to a powder. For use on silk or
linen materials three-fourths pounds to
ten gallons Of water will be ample,
whereas wool will not require more than
one-half pound. Strain these solutions,
saturate the fabrics thoroughly and dry
in open air.-American Cultivator

that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the med

treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood

Tragedy at titles Pond.

A long. standing feud between Simeon
McKelvey and Medrick Couture of Miles
Pond had sad and tragic ending last
Friday. McKelvey, after declaring his in.
tention of killing Couture, went to the
mill where the latter was at work and
made an assault on him with knife
which he had previously sharpened for
the purpose. Couture, after trying to
dodge McKelvey and repeatedly warning
him to stop, at last became cornered and
in self defense was compelled to strike
at McKelvey with heavy cant hook
which stood near by. The blow struck
him squarely on top Of the head crushing
his skull and rendering him unconscious.
He only lived about two hours'after be-
ing injured.
Couture was arrested and brought be-
fore Justice Dyer H. Morton Saturday
afternoon and on petition of his counsel,
Lawyer Simonds of st. Johnsbury. the
hearing was adjourned until Tuesday,
October a, at 1 o'clock.
The hearing was commenced Yesterday

clustering out the Soldiers.

Major Jocelyn of Burlington began on
Monday morning his duty of mastering
out the soldiers in the First Vermont
Volunteers and as about three days will
be consumed with each company it will
be a month before all the troops are out
of service. Company Fl of Montpelier
was the first company mustered out and
Barre and Mortified will follow. The
St. Johnsbury company will not be
reached for at least two weeks, though
Capt. Ellis hopes to know the exact date
very soon. Major S. p. Jocelyn will be
assisted by Capt. Hovey. The examin-
ing surgeon will be Dr. Snyder of Fort
Ethan Allen. A government paymaster
has been asked for by Maj. Jocelyn and
will accompany the party.
The ceremony of mastering out is very
simple, and there is not much formality,
Each man is given a thorough physical
examination. One object being, oil
course, to refer to his case should he ever
have claim against the government for
disability. But it is in the main, a mill
tary measure. The men were examined
when they came, and are examined wher
they go out. All names are placed or
the mastering out rolls, including thos,
who have joined since musteringin, thos'
who have been transferred, and pro
noted, etc. Each man is paid all that il
owing him, and that fact is noted too
He is then honorably discharged from
the service.
The Vermont regiment was mustered
into service May IL and has served Uncl
Sam nearly five months.

Millinery Openings.

Last week and this week the windows
of the millinery stores have been re-
splendent with brilliant colored ribbons,
velvets and new fall styles in trimmed
hats and bonnets.
At the Brooks-Tyler store the north
window has presented an attractive
appearance, filled with new styles in fall
hats and prettiy trimmed with the latest
shades OF ribbons and flowers most
artistically arranged. The millinery
department off the second floor is
periodically trimmed with red, white
and blue, and the pattern hats are in
attractive styles.
Miss ]. M. Miller's parlors present a
pleasing variety OF styles, both large and
small. Beautiful shades of blue and
brown are largely used, also black and
white, and instead of the dropping effect
OF the brim in front, used during the
summer, the brim flares or is turned up
and the hats are trimmed high in front.
Facings and crowns are either folded,
tucked or shirred velvets or satins and
the trimmings are velvets, ribbons and
plumes. Many odd shapes are found and
all tastes may be satisfied.
As advertised in another column, Mrs.
A. Nj. Stanton's opening will be held the
last of the week.
Mrs. ]. Haley Carrick has recently re-
turned from New York and her fall open.
ing will be held Oct. 10 and IA.
