McCULLOUGHS' TRIUMPH.

The State flag of Vermont is proper
ly at the mast head in celebration of
McCullough's victory, for the triumph
of this eminent Vermonter in the
battle for the nomination to the office
of Governor is far more a victory for
Vermont than for an individual citi-
zen of the State. The opponents of
Gen. Mccullough set up false a
narrow and proscriptive standard of
eligibility for the Governorship.
That was made the base line of the
operations against Mccullough. 1t
was an appeal to the prejudices of the
people of Vermont. 1t was full of
danger to the best interests of Yer
mont. The citizens of the State most
noted for patriotic regard for its well
fare resented this line of attack ON
Mccullough. They remembered the
honors bestowed on the sons of Yer
mon in the progressive and prosper
Gus States of the Union and they re-
solved that neither injustice should
be done an eminent adopted son, who,
by long residence and in thousand
ways had proved his devotion to the
land of the Green Mountains, nor the
proclamation go forth that the sons
of other States may make their homes
here, bring here their wealth, invest
in enterprises for the betterment of
the State, participate in the duties
and bear the burdens of citizenship,
but for the native born sovereigns of
the soil must be reserved the right
and privilege of being chosen the
States chief magistrate.
1t is needless to review the incidents
of a long and somewh arduous can
vass. The men who entered the con-
test for the preliminary honors of the
governorship have submitted their
titles to the consideration and award
of the great tribunal appointed for
that purpose. The issue joined has
been settled The duty and business
of the contestants and their following
is to abide faithfully by the tribunals
award and announcements, hand in
their allegiance, without reserve, to
the victor and bend their energies to
procuring for him at the polls the
support either, victorious, would ex.
pect and have right to claim from
the others.
The citizen to whose hands has been
entrusted the Republican standard of
the State with the proudest emf
nence in the history, both military
and civil, of the Union, is in all ways
e-eminentiy worthy of the devoted
and loyal support of all classes of the
citizenship. At home and abroad, in
administration and civic function, he
will faithfully, ably and proudly serve
the State of his adoption.

THE SUMMER SHOWER.

Behold! the darkness gath'ring where
The forest fringes 'gainst the sky;
Aud see the waving tree-tops bend,
Before the whrlwind sweeping by;
Aud bark. the distant rumbling peal
Proclaims the tempest coming.nigh.
Advance the cohorts of the.storm,
The noontlde brightness is no more;
The clouds their gloomy shadows throw,
While fast their drenching torrents pour;
And now the lghtning's binding flash
Precedes the thunders awful roar.
Along the mountains rugged crest
The storms retreating flashes play;
And down the valleys brighten'd slopes
A thousand streanlets course their way;
While there the rainbows brilliant arch
Denotes the suns returning.ray.

THE GIFT OF RESPONSIVE
MSS.

The responsive woman, although not
necessarily wearing her heart upon
her sleeve" cannot hide its beautiful,
unselfish qualities. 1t is at the core of
her nature, a part of her life, to force
what is best in her to the surface; and
this necessity of her being brings her
responsiveness into play upon all oc-
casions. Her magnetism draws not
only the cultured men and women OF
the polite social circle, but is felt along
all the ways where men and women
work, strive, suffer defeats, win vic
tories and wait in despair or in hope
for the final outcome of life.
There is spurious sort of respon-
siveness that is nothing more than a
vulgar curiosity in the affairs of others.
This develops meddlers. and busybod-
les, and is associated with narrowness,
egotism and selfshness, and in time is
sure to reveal itself in all the unlove-
illness of its meaning.
The responsive woman can go down
to the very gate of death with the suf-
ferer, and can bubble with humor, in
company with the mirthful. Her quail
tiles not being held for occasions, the
wires Of her sympathies are always in
place to answer telegraphic messages
from souls that constantly and in
stinctively appeal to them. 1t is de-
lightful study to watch responsive
woman as she carries her beneficient
influence wherever she goes. She
travels queens way-every one along
her path springing toward the privi-
lege of receiving smile.

MISS BLAKE'S TURKEYS.

Miss Sallie Blake, who lived near
Chesapeake Beach, Calvert county,
Mo, is we'll remembered by natives of
that county who now live in Baltimore.
This story of the lady and her turkeys
is vouched for by one of her former
neighbors, says the Baltimore Sun:
Miss Blake, like many country peo-
pie, was in the habit of gathering chick
en-grapcs in the fall for the purpose of
making palatable and stimulating de-
coction by pouring over the grapes the
proper quantity Of whiskey and allow
ing the mixture TO stand for the neces-
sary time. 1t happened on one oc-
casion after the contents of a demjohn
containing the decoction had been ex-
hausted that Miss Blake emptied the
whiskey soaked grapes on the ground,
where her fine brood Of turkeys COB
bled them up. . r
The turkeys became drunk-so
drunk, in fact, that they were soon ly-
ing on the ground sleeping off their jag.
Miss Blake, not realizing the cause Of
the stupor, thought they were dead.
in order to realize as much as possible
out Of the supposed dead turkeys. she
had them picked SO as to get the
feathers, and the carcasses were thrown
outdoors. The next morning Miss
Blake was surprised to see her turkeys
walking about. They were alive, it is
true, but such spectacle as they pre-
sented, with only their tail and wing
feathers, she lad never seen before. In
order to protect them from the cold,
she bought enough red flannel to make
each OF them comfortable coat to re-
place the feathers. The turkeys we're
sooE stalking about wearing their, red
coats, and were the wonder Of all be-
holders.

ONCE IS ENOUGH TO SEE

c ..stave Dore's portrait of Dante is worth

such look you notice on the faces of those
who have suffered, and still suffer, much
physical pain; people subject torheumatism,
gout, neuralgia, periodic headache, lumba-
90, or pain from some old lesion. This pain
habit puts its marks on them, as the custom
of handling ropes crooks sailors fingers;
or as too much riding of bicycle stamps a
worried expression on certain faces. No
wonder people said of the italian poet as
he passed along, "There goes
