The July issue of the Vermonter is a
patriotic number printed in colors. "'The

"reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln" i, an
article contributed by Charles A. Tinker,
general superintendent of the erstern divi-
sion of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, and is valuable addition to what
the world already knew regarding the
great emancipstor. Several pages are de-
voted to military and patriotic societies on
one of which appears an excellent likeness
of Col. F. G. Butterfeld, commander of
the Vermont commandery Loyal Legion of
the United States, and the Vermont de-
partment of the G. A. R. The Vermonter
enters upon its fifth year in August, and its
publisher, Col. G. S. Forbes, has every
reason to feel gratifed over the record
made.

I'll 80 1OA1

ter gives an account of the last celebration
of the Fourth at Princeton college:
No. 4, WEST COLLEGE,
PRINCETON, July 10, 1S41. !
DEAR ia" Glad to hear you all spent so
pleasant 4th OF July. Some account of our
proceedings here may prove amusing. weeks
ago at called meeting Of the students 1t was
triumphantly decided that there should be an
illumination, ETC., on the evening of the 5th.
A committee sas appointed to mark the de-
vices on the windows and collect money for
the fire balls fireworks etc.
The figure marked on all the first story win
1ows of East and West colleges was an hour
glass, requiring 60 candles for our windows.
The figures for the I'd and 4th stories and all
the back windows of the old North were much
more intricate and beautiful. In the third
story of our college the upper sashes presented
''Geo. + (Plus) Washington" =" and of the East
college, General + (Plus) Mercer" On the
chapel windows were the dates "1776-184l."
All day Saty, and part of Monday Olcott and
were both busy in preparing and placing the
candles, cutting them in short pieces, turpen-
timing the wicks and then lighting them to be
sure they would go. The penalty for leaving
this undone would certainly have been the
smashing in of all our fenestras insertas. Usu-
ally the students have had celebration Of the
9TH out in town, but owing to a misunder-
standing between the two societies there was
Thro' the day, however, the roar of artillery
was kept up so necessarily and noisily as in
Albany. In both refectories very fine Fourth
of July dinner was served up. In the P. M. in
the back campus were raised seven or eight
large and costly pieces of fireworks procured
from New York for the occasion. And at dusk
the campus was almost filled with the ladies
and gentlemen of Princeton and Mercer coun-
ty. As soon it was dark, at the ringing Of
the BELL every window fronting on the back
campus was manned by the students.
At the I'd toll the white fronts Of the col
leges, containing about 200 windows and full
5000 candles, were instantaneously illuminat-
ed The sight was really magnificent After
about ten minutes, when some Of the short
candles were burning low, the bell was again
tolled, and each student hurried to his win
dow again, and when the bell tolled for the
fourth time every light was as suddenly ex-
tinguished- The fireworks were then exhibit
ed, as fine display as ever saw. Rain began
to fall soon after and put to fight the visit
ors. Some of tbe students, disappointed about
throwing their fire balls across the campus
got them going in the long halls of the old col
lege until the officers dispersed them after
promising them the next evening for that
sport A drenching rain finished the day.

NERVE SAVED VOORHEES, LIFE.

Governor Foster Voorhees, of New
Jersey has been described as q man
devoid of nerves, and an incident OF
his recent campaign for election bears
out this definition. The governor was
making a tour of the state, speaking
to different audiences half a dozen
times a day. On this occasion he was
due al MOrristOwn in the evening. and
was obliged to meet train bound for
that city at a water station. In ordel
to reach the cars he was forced TO cross
a labyrinth Of tracks. He was rflOted
through the darkness by brakeman
carrying a lantern. They n,.G crossed
most Of the tracks when I>.c brakeman
stopped and shouted, Governor" At
first the governor did not hear him.
The noise was too great and ne was
too intent on keeping his appointment.
Thereupon the brakeman waved his
lantern frantically. after the fashion of
1rainmen, which is the universal sig
nah for down brakes" and ii means
down brakes hard
The tracks were filled with freight
cars being pushed and hauled to and
fro by putting, snorting engines. Lights
were flashing up and down the yard,
bur above ths noise the governor heard
the rumble of an approaching train
coming nearer and nearer every mo-
ment. Without an instant's hesita-
ton he stopped as if turned into stone,
his body bent forward.
There was a whirr and an express
train rushed by over the rails directly
IN front of the governor Another step
and he would have been killed. AS II
was. the rim of his hat was caught by
the cars and sent flying into space AS
soon as the train passed the governor
Strengthened up and said:
Bring your lantern over here,
brakeman, I've lost my hat
Twenty minutes later he was in
Morrist0wn making the most effective
speech OF his brilliant and successful
campSig n=Philadelphta Post.

PORTO RICO'S RED BANANAS.

Red Bananas from Porto Rico are

be cultivated extensively about that

Chicago fruit stand via New Orleans

much less money, owing to freight
