Press Comment.

Some of the Windsor County at.
torneys are wondering why the es-
teemed Montpelier Daily Journal,
published at the Capital, does not
know and say more about the do
ings ofthe Vermont Supreme Court
now in session there. Is it too much
stuck" on the babblings of the
versatile Jack" Harris to make
room for other important matter P
Woodstock Standard.
The consequences of this partisan
strife have been injurious to the
cause OF public education. When the
bill creating the Office of superintend-
emit of educat ton was first introduc-
ed, in the Legislature of 1888, it
wisely provided for his appointment
by the Governor. The folly of the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS was pointed out
at the time-through which the Office
was made elective by the General
Assembly has been fully demonstrate
ed, and the remedy should be ap-
piled. This officer ought now to be
made appointive by the Governor
and the responsibility for a proper
selection directly located, not dis
tributed-and utterly dissipated-
through a body of 275 men. Thus
would these unseemly contests be

A Mark Twain story.

At an entertainment given for the bene-
fit of the seamen on board the steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm II. on her voyage from
New York to Genoa, Mr.. Clemens was
posted Tor an address. On being intro
duced he rose, and in his peculiar tone OF
voice and manner said - itsTf.
MY friends, see that my name is on
the programme for an address. AS this
was done without consulting me, | shall
give you an anecdote in it's place. Now,
you know there are anecdotes and anec-
dotes, short meter and long meter. |
shall give you long meter, one with a
snapper at the end. 1t is about Scotch
Irish minister, who thought he was
called to preach the gospel, while he
knew he had the gift of oratory, and he
never missed an opportunity to display
it. An opportunity was afforded on the
occasion OF a christ ening. There was a
considerable audience, made up of the
relatives, friends, and neighbors Of the
parents. The preacher began by saying:
"'We have met together, my friends,
in avery interesting occasion-the chris
tening of this little child-but | see al
ready look Of disappointment on your
faces. Is it because this infant is so
small? We must bear in mind that this
globe upon which we live is made up Of
small things, n6nitessimal objects, we
might say. Little drops of water make
the mighty ocean; the mountains which
raise their hoary heads towards heaven
and are often lost in the clouds are made
up of little grains Of sand. Besides, my
friends, we must take into consideration
the possibilities in the life OF this speck of
humanity. He may become great
preacher, multitudes may be swayed by
his eloquence and brought to see and
believe in the truths OF the gospel. He
may become distinguished physician,
and his fame as bealer of men may
reach the uttermost parts OF the earth,
and his name 60 down to posterity as
one OF the great beneiactors OF humanity.
He may become great astronomer and
read the heavens as an open book. He
may discover new stars which may be
coupled with that OF Newton and other
great discoveries. He may become a
distinguished statesman and orator, am
by the strength OF his intellect and elo-
quence, he may control the destinies Of
nations, and his name be engraved upon
monuments erected to perpetuate his
memory by his admiring and grateful
countrymen. He may become an author
and a poet, and his name yet appear
among those now entombed at West.

The First Rehearsal.

The st. Johnsbury Choral Union meets
for its first rehearsal on Tuesday evening
next, November l, and 1t is urgently de-
sired that there be full attendance at
the outset, since this will mean so much
in the success of the seasons work. AL
ready ninety singers have signihed their
intention to join the chorus. and it is ex-
pected that the number will be increased
to at least 1876 This can easily be done
if every singer who has purposed to
join will use his or her influence to secure
additional members. Membership tickets
can be secured Of H. E. Smith, the treas
urer, at the First National Bank, and it
is hoped that all who have given their
names to the executive committee will
get their tickets this week. or before
Tuesday evening. 1t is desirable that as
many tickets as possible shall be disposed
of within the next week or two, in order
that the committee may be able to ar
range, at the start. for a regular and
satisfactory course of rehearsals. Mr..
Blaisdell will conduct, and, with the in
terest shown during the past few weeks,
in response to the committees canvass,
there is every reason to look forward to
an enjoyable and profitable seasons
work, with thoroughly successful festi-
val at it's close. The music to be taken
up includes pleasing variety, and the
opportunity afforded for musical drill is
one that nobody can afford to miss.

Two Englishmen Saved $4,000 by tho
Arrest of "a Swindler.
New York, Oct. 24.-The fact that two
wealthy Engllshmen escaped a costly
experience with a swindler Is due to
the keenness of the detective bureau
under Captain McClusky. The English
men are 10000 better off on this account,
and Robert Roe, alias Morton, alias
Martin, So years Of age, recognized by
detectives as an old time crook, Is under
arrest charged with attempt at grand
larceny.
About the middle Of July, ]. Algernon
Wood received letter at his home In
England, addressed to his father, and
postmarked Astoria, Ore, U. s. A. Major
Wood had been dead nine months. He
left large fortune, and his son Is one
of the executors Of the estate. The let

detailed to Major Wood movements OF
a party of miners In British Columbia
and near the headwaters Of the Peace
river. Major Wood was addressed az
"Dear Major" and the letter was SEEM
ingly to an old friend. 1t reported that
the miners last season cleaned up nearly
100000 worth of gold.
AS result of the enticing terms of the
letter the younger Wood came to Now
York. Later he went to a hotel In
Niagara Falls, where he was to meet
Martin and complete negotiations. The
latter was shocked when informed Of
the death of Major Wood. A number OF
interviews regarding the disposition OF
Major Woods share In bar Of gold fol-
lowed. Under the terms of his fathers
will the younger Wood could not draw
more than $2500 at a time without the
signature of his co-executors. Mr.
Wood, however sent to his home In Eng

was able to raise $1,000, the amount re-
quired by Mr.. Martin for his share In the

Office reported that the gold samples
shown assayed IS carats fine.
1t was by mere chance that Wood hap
pened to mention the incident to a New
York lawyer, who at once sent him t(

Going without Sleep.

It is an interesting question to studi-
GUS people how long a man can 90
without sleep. A physician asserts that
no healthy man can overwork because
eventually nature will compel him to
fall asleep at his task. A journalist re-
Gently claimed to have worked 70 hours
without sleeping. Humboldt said that
when young man he required only
two hours sleep each night, but that in
his old age he found he really needed
as many as three or four. Victims sub
jeoted to the Chinese torture Of being
kept continually awake die on or before
the fifth day. BY far the most inspiring
example, however, is that of one of the
saints, who is related to have lived 10
years without sleep and to have remain
cd standing large portion of that time.

But the banana, though it may be
