One of the Least

the train-two young girls and a
young man-and they were evil
IDENTIFY on a clark" as we'll as on
a journey. The three occupied
two seats, the girls sitting to-
gether and the young man facing
them, with their one valise on the
seat beside him.
They had looked out Of the
window until they were tired of
that, had chaffcd the newsboy
and asked the brakeman nonscn-
steal questions until they had
earned sharp answer from
each, and were now left with only
the other passengers to furnish
material for fun.
Their keen eyes roved about,
finding little in the quiet, we'll
dressed crowd to excite comment.
The bridal party and the baby,
those fruitful sources of amuse-
ment on the train, were missing,
and wit laDguishcd.
At the next stop, an old man
came ina shabby, very shabby,
old man. He took seat near
the young man, and they seized
upon him as a legitimate object
for sport. He took off his bat
tered old hat, and they giggled
over the wen on the top of his
head, over which his struggling
gray hairs were carefully combed.
They found material for fun in
the wisp of gray beard On the
aged face, and IN everything he
wore, clean down to the cracked
shoes on his feet, from which a
knitted blue sock was trying to
peep.
The old mans eyes were bleared
and red, and he leaned heavily on
| his cane as the conductor came
in. His voice was cracked, and
Shrill, too, as he asked questions
while the official punched his
ticket and looked at him as if be
would gladly send him into the
second class car if his ticket were
not first class.
The roar of the train dulled his
hearing, and he held his tremb-
ling hand behind his ear to catch
the conductors answer, which
was crisp and unsatisfactory.
The poor get little of that ready
courtesy which well-to do people
exact as their right from train
officials; and even the silly young
man, with his high collar and low
stock of good sense, met with
more respect from the conductor
than this aged man.
The old man was intensely fun
ny to the trio on the lookout for
amusement, and wit, such as it
was, circulated freely at his ex-
pense.
The young people were to
change cars at the next station,
riding a few hours on a branch
road, and the train was slowing
up. They pushed rudely past the
old man, who was evidently pre-
pairing to change, too, acting as
if time were of the greatest i'm
portance. They stood on the
platform as he descended from
the car, gong toward the bag
gage car with feeble steps.
A little, old-fashioned, hairy
trunk, studded with brass nails,
stood in the bagga ge car, and the
baggage man gave it a vicious
fling out upon the platform. The
old man WINGED as the trunk
struck the platform, and he has
tened his steps as If to protect It.
Too late. Like the old man, it
was weak with age, and it's sides
parted at the shock, and the
cover flew up from the back as
the hinges broke.
\ grOan burst from the old
mans bps, and with trembling
hands he began to tumble help

THE "BERRY rIoKRRs.''
Ehe operetta, "The Berry Pickers" was
produced at the town hall Thursday evening
before an audience that filed all the space
possible. Every one was highly pleased with
the very satisfactory and charming manner
IN which the parts were carried out. Too
much credit cannot be given the conductor,
Mrs Rounseval, aud the accompanist, Mrs.
Grey, as without them the play could not
have been produced Especially pleasing was
the singing of the Ladies' quartet and the
duet by Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Rounseval.
The cling was very good and the solos ex.
ceedingly we'll rendered. The flower queen
and attendants made a charming scene and
the ching of several young ladies was
very good. Numerous floral favors were pre-
sented during the play. The choruses brought
out some very pleasing songs and rythmn,
showing what can be done with young voices
by earnest and intelligent direction. Several
were heard to express the wish that the con-
ductor might direct the musical tastes of our
scholars. A very large party came from
Springfield, many remaining for the dance.
Several Bellows Falls people also were seen
in the audience. To sum up, it was very
pretty and successful entertainment.

signed as Alger. Though as anxiously
looked for as proposal Of marriage, the
resignation was equally as sudden, and
quite took the country by surprise. Vice
President Hobart, it is reported, invited
Secretary Alger to be hi, guest at Long
Branch last Saturday, and while he was
there made it pleasant for the secretary by
giving him to understand that he was very
unpopular throughout the country, an en-
barrassment to the president and a positive
damage to the republican party. All thi,
he claimed to do at the request of the pres
