General Mccullough was enthusiastic

on state and national issues at st. Johns

Town Representatives.

1t is probable that Middlebury Re-
publcans will follow the plan adopted
two years ago, and that is growing
more and more popular in the larger
towns, and hold no caucus to nominate
a candidate for town representative.
Two nominations have been filed with
the town clerk.
The first was that of Joseph Battell,
dated August 8. The second was that
of Ira II. LaFleur dated August -
Both parties are too well and favorably
known in Middlebury to need any intro
duction from the Register.
Mr.. Burke authorizes the Register to
say that he will not be candidate for
town representative this year.

an old and we'll known traveller, who

enough to ruin the reputation of a:iy

him. Every one thought that Clay
would certainly refuse, but when the
celebrated lawyer looked into the mat

"Then came q trial the like of which
I have never seen. Clay slowly car,

Ancient skxscrapers.

Numerous conflicting estimates have
been made OF the height of the tower
of Babel, but one fact never has been
denied and that is that it was sky
scraper. st. Jerome in his commeu-
tary on Isaiah says that the tower
was already 1000 PAGES high when
God came down to stop the work. A
pace is about two and one-half feet;
therefore 1000 PAGES must be 10000
feet; consequently Babel was twenty
times as high as tho pyramids (Which
are only about 500 feeO. Father Cal
met says the tower was $1,000 feet
high and that the languages were con-
founded because the architects We're
confounded, as they did not know how
to bring the building to head. More
over, it is understood that the Chinese

Scots In American History

It is a noteworthy fact in American
history that of the four members Of
Washington's cabinet Knox of Massa-
chusetts, the only New Englander, was
q Scotch Irishman; Alexander Hamil-
ton Of New York was Scotch French
man, Thomas Jefferson was of Welsh
descent, and the fourth, Edmund Ran
dolph. claimed among his ancestors the
Scotch earls of Murray. New York
also furnished the first chief justice OF
the United States John Jay, who was
a descendant of French Hpguenots.
while the second chief justice, John
Rutledge, was Scotch-Irish, as were
also Wilson and Iredell. two of the
original associate justices; a third.
Blair, was of Scottish origin. John
Marshall, the great chief justice, was,
like Jefferson, of Scotch and Welsh
descent Charles r. Hanna's ''Celt In
