A HARDWARE KNOCKOUT.

An amusing incident occurred at the re
cent contest at Burlington over the election
OF department commander OF the G.. A. r.
for Vermont which illustrates the dry hu-
NOR and quickness of Uomrade Huse of this
city, to seize and score a point.
Mr.. Hnse was chsmpioning the cause OF
Gen. j. II. Lucia for department command
er. The lieutenants of the opposing candi-
date were urging upon the delegates the
many good qualities of their man which
would make him q desirable commander.
One brought out the fact that his candidate
had been very successful in the hardware
business. Thereupon Comrade Huse arose
and running his fingers through his grizzly
shock of hair retorted that he did not know
that Gen. Lucia, his candidate, was ever
engaged in the hardware business in COM
mercial way, but he did know that during
the War of the Rebellion there was one oc.
casion when the general stopped some rebel
hardware, ss his empty sleeve attests.

LETTER TO A. W. STOWELL.
(MontpeLier, "

Dear Sir: Paint is one OF the things that
Railroad Companies know all about. Do
you know what "all about means? It
means, In paint, where to get 1t,
We sell the paint for two-thirds OF the
cars and stations and bridges and every
thing else, that railroad men want to keep
good looking and sound, all over the coun-
try
A man who wants gallon or two of
paint knows nothing about it; buys what.
ever is handy, or gets some painter to
"make" it.
A Railroad Company asks its chemist;
(which ia the best?"
The cheapest thing, to preserve or beau
tity anything with, is paint. SO the whole
world is painted; except, of course, the part
OF 10 owned by poor slow folks.
And the paint they use is peoples intelli-
gence-meter; or ignorance'meter; tells how
much or how little they know.
Lead and oil has had its day. Devoe
lead and zinc is the paint, because it wears
twice as long.
Yours truly,
80 r. W. DEvoE 81 Co.

VERMONT NEWS.

Friday was an anxious day for Rutland
liquor dealers. States Attorney G.. E.
Lawrence had two score or more of them
before Chancellor Russell s. Taft Of Bur-
lington, at the court house, to show cause
why injunctions should not be issued
against them under the nuisance clause.
Many others were up before Judge Taft for
violating injunctions already on them. The
court declared the possession OF a United
States internal revenue tax receipt sufficient
cause for Issuing injunctions and they were
issued In number Of cases on these
grounds. Among those upon whom iDjunc-
tions were served was Alderman Edward
d. Pomeroy, proprietor OF the Belmont
hotel.

with the purpose of establishing an

the Rocky mountain region.
Mr.. Radcliffe is an English gentle
man who some years ago came into
possession of Il large tract of elevated
table land in that section, On which
were /; number of natural lakes. He
converted these lakes into II fish re-
serve and last spring one of his guards
killed n man who, 1t is alleged, was
t.espassing upon Mr.. Radcliife's prop
crty. The killing led TO very bitter
feeling on the part of persons residing
in that vicinity, and as II consequence
Mr.. Radcliffe was forbidden to enter
the country, and his buildings and
other improvements were destroyed.
He has made an unsuccessful effort
10 have the government of the United

lnent protect him in the occupancy and
control of his property. BY his lease
to the fish commission he will secure
the protection of the lakes. although
the business done will not be conduct
