The Last Convulsion of the Copperheads.
Continued from page 5.)

Bender stepped toward the Bible, and
then for an instant paused, to cast a
glance at the flag and another at the
cool, determined man who had placed it
there. Then, without more ado, he be-
gan the services. Below him on the
front seat sat his mourning relatives,
who two months before had laid to her
last rest the aged mother whose funeral
sermon Bender was this day to preach.
The text chosen was-"Whom the Lord
loveth, He chasteneth;" and for an
hour and half the Rev. Alexander
Campbell Bender poured out eloquent
words and sentiments worthy of the
grand big-hearted woman whose memo
ry every acquaintance revered.
AS the last word of the benediction
was spoken, Buckeye mounted the
platform, shook Bender's hand and con-
graduated him upon having preached
the best discourse of his ministerial car
reer. "The fact is, Bender, there is an
inspiration in the Stars and Stripes that
will do all you preachers good. There is
another thing you have learned today.
Never place any confidence in the
courage of the copperheads, and never
again stick your nose into other peo-
ple's fights. Now, be good, and you'll
be happy!"
Taking the flag with him, Buckeye
and his Grand. Army comrades returned
to the store where they were soon
joined by considerable squad of Cap
tain Gentry Vests x-Confederates.
The feast of cove oysters and crackers,
pickles, and good black coffee, and the
fun and frolic of those ex-soldiers of
the Blue ands the Gray on that Sab
bath, was the celebration of victory.
"The tails of snakes never die till sun
down, and this is the last day of the
copperheads" said Seth Cope. ''To-
morrow the whole outfit will be stink
ing reminiscence, drawled an ex- Con-
federate.
Peace, good will, and reconciliation
soon followed. The Copperheads had
had their last convulsion. The tail end
was dead.

which Queen Helene tries to steer
the royal matrimonial bark, relates
London NJ. \. p. The queen has
very beautiful, wavy hair, which
may be said to be her one vanity.
During Il reception some little time

could not refrain from compliment
ing her on it. She said:
'."IIow beautiful your hair looks
this evening, your majesty! 1t
waves so bccomingly"
The queen flushed with pleasure.
But the king was within hearing,
and as he has an almost morbid alb
horrence of anything approaching
tlattery or praise sho was unable to
thank her friend for a compliment
which she felt was sincere, Nine,

THREE BOYS SHOT.

THE USUAL l'NI.OADED GUN.
The worst accident that has hap

when three boys in bathing were
shot and one of them killed by Il
boy who claim, inc did not know his
gun was loaded. The shooting oc-
cured In the west part of the town

son of Melvin Gibbs; and Philip
Adams, aged about IS, son of Irwin
Adams, both of this town were in

Money in Vermont PoIitics-RepIy
tc Senator Proctor.

Come down to recent instances.
Take cases that the public knows
something about, though it does not
know the inside of them. How
much did his nomination in 1896
cost Josiah Grout? We don't know.
Few men do. But all of us who
know anything about Vermont poll
tics have seen the external evidence.
It would be hard to find a man who
believes that CIRCUITS nomination
cost less than 10 times as much as
the senator names as the large figure
in such cases. Not all the stories of
the use of money in that canvass are
to be believed, but 1t is apparent
that large amounts were expended.
Take the congressional nomination
in the senator's own district last
year. Foster, who was nominated,
probably spent large amount, for we
understand that he is not a wealthy
man. Yet large amounts We're
spent. There is good Republican
authority 1or asserting tnat one OF
the defeated candidates spent over
$4,000.
1t costs money to make the politi.
cal wheels go round in Vermont.
These struggles are fights be-
tween men, not contests for princi-
pie. 1t is the curse of Vermont that
the Republican party has hers so
great majority. 1t cheapens poll
tics, it dulls the interest in political
principles, and reduces all to the
level of personal ambition. The
politics of the dominant party be-
comes corrupt from the nature of
the situation. 1t is growing worse
with each campaign.-Montpelier

Leo in which Rev. J. NJ. Cloarec
was appointed Domestic Prelate
with the title OF Right Reverend.
1t is the highest rank of any prelate
except one and is next to bishop
in degree. The office is one of the
highest honors ever conferred on a
Vermont priest and Father Cloarec
is the only one of that title in the
state. There are only IS others in
the United States. The official
duties connected with the Office are
not heavy, the rank being one con-
ferred for distinguished service in
the church. The ones receiving
such appointments have the right to
wear certain insignia of rank.

There was a luminous illustra-
ton of how the money goes-the
states money-in a recent case in
county court. A respected resident
OF Windsor, groceryman, of good
reputation as law-abiding citizen,
was suspected of illegal liquor SELL
ing, and in the proceedings follow
ing the charge brought against him
there was the usual breezy disregard
of expense shown when the enginery
of the prohlbltory law gets after a
man. He was summoned to court,
his wife and clerks were compelled
to appear, together with long
string of witnesses tor whose fare
and keep the state footed the bills.
The case ''petered out" The states
attorney said, after swarm Of wit
nesses had been examined, that he
could not conscientiously ask the
jury for verdict of guilty. and the
court then ordered verdict of &C.
quittal. This was the grand result
OF one days proceedings. 1t costs
something to run the court, and the
days expenditures in the disposal of
this shadowy case will figure up to
about $500, when witness fees, Off
cial fees, mileages and other Incl
dentals are all paid. But it is the
states money, so it goes, and goes
faster from year to year.
