From Gen. drouts Eulogy on r1r. rlorriIl.

The older he grew in body the younger
he seemed to grow in spirit, his bright,
sunny nature shining out as though no
shadow was near. He was in very truth
young old man, retaining all OF the
purity and much of the imagery and
HARMONY of youth. And though the
Inaudible and noiseless foot of time
was steadily carrying him toward the
dark valley, yet in his serene and peace
full old age, with one foot already in the
border land, he could we'll have said.
Age is opportunity no less
Than youth ITSELF though In another dress,
And as the evening twilight fades away
The sky is filled with stars invisible by day.
But at last, in the merry Christmas
time, full OF years and full OF honors, as
child falls asleep he passed away. And
on this anniversary of the birth OF the
Father OF his country, fit day for these
memorial exercises, the two Houses of
Congress have suspended business Tor the
purpose OF reviewing his work. recount
ing his virtues, and paving tribute to his
memory. Meanwhile he sleeps with his
kindred in the narrow valley where he first
saw the light, and with tie people he loved
and served, and who in turn loved and
honored him. And now we bid our kind
benevolent, lovable friend tender good
bye until we meet again, as was hi,
belief, in that celestial country where a
last shall be found
The day that hath no evening,
The health that hath no sore,
The light that hath no ending
But lasteth eyeTmOre.

Reading Matter for Our Soldiers.

Lieut.. Steele of the eighth Cavalry
writes from st. Paul to ask the readers
of Harper's Weekly to send light litera-
ture to our soldiers in Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines. One who has not
spent few weeks in dull hot camp
can hardly conceive, says Lieut.. Steele,
how ravenously anything printed is
devoured by the soldiers. A paper back
novel, or a magazine, or an illustrated
paper, no matter how old, is passed
from one to another until it is literally
read to pieces. Trash and current litera-
ture is better, it seems, for military uses
in the tropics than more substantial
reading. Any book or paper, addressed
to the commanding officer or the adju
tant of a regiment with "For the regi-
ment" added on the wrapper, will make
the rounds of the camp and be read and
enjoyed as long as there is page or a
pict ure OF it left Thus, Lieut.. Steele says,
"a book addressed To the Adjutant of
the Eighth L. S. Cavalry, Puerto
Principe, Cuba; For the Regiment will
be read by scores of officers and enlisted
men of the Eighth Cavalry in their hot
and dreary camp; and every man will
add postscript to his prayers TOR the
send er."-[E. S. Martin, in Harper's
Wee ky.

value of n Comma.

A Prussian school inspector appeared
at the office of the burgomaster of lit
tie town to ask him to accompany him
on a tour of inspection through the
schools.
The burgomaster was out of sorts,
and was heard to mutter to himself;
"What is this donkey here again
for2"
The inspector said nothing, but wait
ed his time, and with the unwilling
burgomaster set out on his tour.
At the first school he announced his
wish to see how well punctuation was
taught.
"Oh, never mind that" grumbled
the burgomaster "We don't care for
commas and such trifes. -
But the inspector sent boy to the
blackboard and ordered him to write:
1.-The burgomaster of r. says, the in
spector is a donkey"
Then he ordered him to transpose the
comma placing it after R., and to in
sert another one after inspector, and
the boy wrote:
"The burgomaster Of R., says the in
spector, is donkey
1t is probable that the refractory off
cial gained new idea of the value Of
"commas and such trihes. "-Londor

A document known by the name Of
"terrier' is supposed to be kept at ev-
cry old parish church setting forth the
sources of the income of the benefce-
especially glebe lands hence the deriva-
ton from the Latin terra" Ignorance
of this purely technical term led a
clergyman into curious mistake. He
was a sporting parson and had just
been appointed to his first living. Dur
ing the early days Of his incumbency
he received form from the bishop
which he was required to fill up.
Among the questions asked was, "Do
you keep terrierP"
"No," wrote the cleric in reply,

Academy rlinstrel Entertainment.

The young men OF the Academy are
hard at work preparing for the "Min-
strel" entertainment to be given at
Music Hall March 10th. Splendid solo
and chorus work is being done under the
efficient direction of Frank Harris. The
entertainment will be OF novel and in
terestng character. Instead of the or
binary prevailing shade Of burnt cork,
the chorus will present representatives Of
various nationalites in appropriate cos.
tunes, thus affording opportunities for
dialect recitations and songs, as well as
presenting a most striking series of tab.
leau effects upon the stage. 1t is hoped
that all friends of the Academy will give
full house and cordial reception to
the St. ]. A, boys in their attempt to
furnish wholesome and novel entertain
ment.

That Bicycle Track.

The small army Of wheelmen in st.
Johnsbury are taking much interest
in the item in last weeks CALEDo-
MAN about bicycle path to Lyndon
vile and have taken hold of the en-
terprise with heartiness that war
rants its success. Each wheelman
will be asked to contribute one dol
lar to the cause with the understan-
ding that the money will not be
called for unless the whole
amount, $500, is raised. This will
build a path to the Lyndon town line
and the boys at Lyndonville will
complete the path to Lyndonville
raising $500 more.
1t is proposed to build gravel
path four feet wide as close to the
fence as possible. 1t will be graded
slightly in some places and protected
occasionally from teams on the ad
joining highway by low wire fence
A committee of riders will be chosen
to contract for the construction o
the road and see that it is kept in re
pair. 1t is believed that a tax of II
cents from each rider will keep tn
path in perfect repair. The Lyndon
vile riders are as eager for the roa
as our own riders and there seem
little doubt but what the path wi
be built this spring.
