The earnest and hearty applause which
was given Governor Smith at the conclu-
sion of the reading Of his message was only
one of many indications that it met with
large approval. Many members remarked
that the Governor was just right in his
recommendations, and IL is evident that
legislation will be proposed in order to
carry them into effect.

Some unsophisticated legislators-there

1t is limited that bill is on the way de-
signed to establish another court to try
many of the smaller cases that are at pre-
sent brought into county court. In some
of the larger counties, including Washing
ton and Chittenden, the present county
courts are unable to handle the amount OF
business and many cases have to be contin-
ued for want OF time.
Several people have been heard to say
that Representative Stevens OF Richmond
is the best looking Representative. This
may be 3d. but Gilmore, Emery, Graves,
White Rutland George, Dana, Nc
Feeters, Houghton, Powers and dozen
others are in the same class.
Thus far the members have been chiefly
occupied in getting acquainted and seeing
where they are at, and haven't had much
time to horseshed each other on the vast
problems Of the hour which are pointed di-
rectly at the General Assembly. But they
will soon obtain their bearings, and then
the strenuous life" will open up.

of the gentleman from Troy saw few or any

spects has never been approached.
Representative Fred Field OF Springfield
allows that he has graduated some mighty
good men from his little country store at
North Springfield. Several are. or have
been, well known in State affairs, in the
former class being Senator Leland and the
present sheriff of Windsor county. Mr..
Field says that on q recent Sunday he
counted six ex-Representatives in atten.

lage.
The joint special committee on temper
ance this year will have a job on its hands
before which the labors OF all committees

will want to be heard before this committee
are likely to be numbered by the thou

countenance OF Charley Whtcomb occas-
| ionally takes on an aspect OF shocking reve-
lations suppressed with difficulty and al
most causes him to thoughtlessly swallow
his gun. Charley isn't used to such dismal

sun. When he spoke to the ferryman,
it was in voice used TO many tongues.
The boatman helped him from the
shore into his skiff and gave him his
coat for a cushion on the rough hewn
plank which answered for seat. The
old man raised his head feebly and
looked about him. Finally his eyes
fell on the spire of Hereford cathedral,
and there they rested, lighting up for
a few seconds with n glimmer of hope.
The boatman pushed off from the
shore, and slowly and noislessly the
skiff made its way across. No sound
above the gentle ripple at the boats
bow disturbed the silence Of the even
ing. Suddenly the faint sound Of
bell stirred the air. 1t increased In
volume; then the note of another bell
intermingled. then another and anoth-
er, until the melody of a full set of
chimes rose and fell In the evening
stiffness. The boatman, who had rest
ed his oar to listen, turned to the old
man In the rear Of the boat and saw
him standing erect, his arms outstretch-
ed and his face wreathed In smiles OF a
great gladness. His eyes were raised
TO the sky with an expression Of
thanksgiving. He continued in that at
titude until the last note OF the chimes
died away, and then he fell in heap
In the back of the boat. The boatman
went to him and. laying his hand on
the face OF the old man. felt that 1t
was cold.-New York Sun.
