The premium list of the state fair is published, and those in want of it should address the secretary, V. Burlington.

It is a pamphlet of fortv-four closely primed pages, and without a single advertisement. This" will give something of an idea of thecopeof the premiums and of the fair. The exhibition will be made this year at Burlington, the first week in September, and will continue four days, from Tuesday, Sept. 1st to Friday, the 4th, inclusive. The premiums have been increased from year to year until they are most liberal, and are now sufficient to warrant" an effort on the part of the people of the state to make a superb show.

There are the departments of horses, races, cattle, sbeep, swine and poultry, aud mechanics' and floral halls, each with a superintendent, and all combining to invite the most magnificent display of products and industries ever witnessed in Vermont. While the occasion of the state fair is generally looked forward to as a sort of general reunion of the people of the common very many would be in attendance with little regard for the show, yet it must be conceded that it is the exhibition that offers the main inducement. The management have been aware of this, and evidently have exerted themselves to eclipse any former exhibition. There has been a gradual improvement in our state fairs, until the elaborateness and perfectness attained would do honor to a much larger state. There is every indication that the annual fair at Burl obtained for wholesale lots (not jobbing prices; anu are intended to represent act-, ual sales the past week.

'Copyrighted by the Author. XL itiVWjUjU DacK nine miles to Sonora, my pock- eta full of "specimens" from the newly discovered claim, my head a cyclone of copper hued air castles. I saw the "boys." I was mysterious. I beckoned them to retired spots, showed them the ores. told them of the find.

They were wild with excitement. They were half crazed with delight. And in ten minutes some of them wTent just as far into the do mains of unrest and unhappiness for fear some one might find and jump the claim ere I got back to guard it. The Copper head company was organized that night. The "Enthusiast," a man who lived in the very top loft of copper insan ity, was sent down with ine to superintend the sinking of the shaft.

The secret was soon out. Shares in the vein were eagerly coveted. I sold a few feet for $500, and deemed I had conferred a great favor on the buyer in letting it go so cheaply. I lived up, way up, in tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars. The "company" in Sonora met almost every night to push things, while the Enthusiast and myself blasted and burrowed in the rock.

By day they exhausted their spare cash in horse hire, riding down to the claim in hope of being on hand when the next blast should reveal a bed of ore immense in breadth and unfathomable in depth. My company was made up chiefly of lawyers, doctors, politicians and editors. They never realized how much they were indebted to me. For four months I made them feel rich, and if a man feels rich what more should he want? For a millionaire can do no more than feel rich. Feeling certain that the Copperhead was a very rich claim, and that other rich claims would be developed from the "extensions," and that a bustling town would be the result, I pre-empted a section of the land which I deemed most valuable, on which it was intended that "Copperhead City" should be built.

This "city" I partly laid out. I think this was the third city I had laid out in California. There is a sepulchral and post mortem suggestion in the term "laid out" which is peculiarly applicable to all the "cities" which I attempted to found, aud which "cities" invariably foundered. Actuated also, at that time, by those business principles so largely prevalent in most Christian communities, I "claimed" the only spring of good drinking water in the neighborhood of my "city." My intent in this was in time to realize a profit from the indirect sale of this water to such of the future "city's" population as might want water not to sell it by the glass or gallon, of course; but if there was to be a "city" it would need water works. The water works would necessarily lie on my land.

I would not be guilty of the inhumanity of selling water to parch tongued people, but I proposed that the "city" should buy of me the ground out of which came the water. But one house was ever erected in Copperhead City proper, and that had but one room. But three men ever lived in it. Yet the city was thickly populated. It was located in a regular jungle, so far as a jungle is ever attained in California, and seemed the head center and trysting place of all the rattlesnakes, coons, skunks, owls and foxes on the west side of Table mountain.

When the winter wore off and the warm California spring wore on and merged into the summer heat of May, and the pools made by the winter rains dried up, I think all the rattlesnakes and copperheads for miles around went for my pre-empted spring of pure water. The "city" I mean the house was located within a few feet of the spring. Returning thither at noon for dinner, I have started half a dozen Bnakos from the purlieus and suburbs of that spring. Snakes get dry like human beings. Snakes love water.

Snakes, poor things, can't get anything else to drink, and must fill up on water. These were sociable snakes. When startled at oar approach they would not ran away from oar society. No. They preferred to remain in the "city," and so, in many instances, they ran under the house.

It il not pleasant at night to feel that yon. are deeping oyer a veteran rattler oar feet long, with a crown of glory on hia tail in the shape of fourteen or fifteen rattles. You won't crawl under your house to evict such a rattlesnake either. Skunks inhabited our "city" afao. Skunks know their power their peculiar power.

The evening (foaming seems the favorite time for the skunk to go abroad. He or she loves the twilight. There must be a vein of sentiment in these far smelling creatures. I have in the early evening traveled up the only street oar "city" ever laid o.it a trail and ahead of me on that trail I have seen a skunk. I was wi.Hng he should precede me.

Ia the matter of rankness I was perfectly willing to fall a long way behind him. Now, if you have studied skunks yon 9 fi gr SS.5'' favorite aromatic mean of offensive de fence he projects himsiilf forward (as it were). I have, then, in my city, had a skunk keep the trail about fifty feet ahead of me, at a pace which indicated little alarm at my presence, and, do my best, 1 could not frighten the animal, nor coidd I get ahead of him or her. If I ran he ran; if I walked he concurred in rapidity of pace. I not ap proach too near the animul.

I would rather break in upon the "sacred divin ity which, they say, "doth hedge a king" than transgress the proper bounds to be observed with reference to a skunk. Let a king do his best, and he cannot punish an intruder as can a skunk. The skunk is really a pretty creature. Its tail droops over its back, like the plumes of the Knight of Navarre. It is an object which can really be admired visually at a distance.

Do not be allured by him to too near approach. "Beware! he's fooling thee!" At last it dawned upon the collective mind of the Copperhead company that their superintendent, the Enthusiast, was digging too much and getting down too little. They accepted his resignation. It mattered little to him, for by this time his mind was overwhelmed by another stupendous mining scheme, to which the Copperhead was barely a priming. He had the happy talent of living in these golden visions which, to him, were per fect realities.

He held the philosophy that the idea, the hope, the anticipation of a thing is sometimes more "the thing" than the thing itself. The Enthusiast's rich mines lay principally in his head, but his belief in them gave him as much pleasure as if they really existed. rt was like marry ing, sometimes. The long songht for, longed for, wished W'ife or husband turns out, as a realitv, a very different being from what he or she was deemed while in process of being longed and sought for. The long longed for may have been estimated an angel.

The angel, after wedlock, may prove to have been a myth. The reality may be a devil, or within a few shades or degrees of a devil. So the shaft was sunk, as they said, properly and scientifically, by the new superintendent. The rock got harder as we went down, the ore less, the vein narrower, the quantity of water greater, the progress slower, the weekly expenses first doubled and then trebled, the stock became less coveted, and as to reputed value, reached that fatal dead level which really means that it is on its downward descent. The shareholders' faces became longer and longer at their weekly Sunday afternoon meetings in the So-uora court house.

The Copperhead claim and Copperhead city subsided quietly. The shareholders became tired of mining for coin to pay assessments out of their own pockets. They came at last to doubt the ever glowing, hopeful assertion of the Enthusiast that from indications he knew the "ore was forming." The inevitable came. Copperhead city was deserted by its hu man inhabitants. The skunk, the snake, the squirrel, the woodpecker and the buzzard came again into full possession, and I bitterly regretted that I had not sold more at ten dollars a foot when I found the stock a drug at ten cents.

Prentice Mulford. How Tea Is Carried in Thibet. The packages of tea, each about four feet long, six inches broad and three to four thick, and weighing from seventeen to twenty-three pounds, are placed horizontally one above the other, the upper ones projecting so as to come over the porter's head. They are held tightly together by coir ropes and little bamboo stakes; straps, also of plaited coir ropes, pass over the porter's shoulders, while a little string fastened to the top of the load helps to balance the huge structure, which it requires more knack than strength to carry, for its weight must bear on all the back and ouly slightly on the shoulders. In their hands the porters carry a short crutch, which they place under the load when they wish to rest without removing it from their backs.

The average load is nine packages, or from 190 to 200 pounds, buti passed a number of men carrying seventeen, aud one had twenty-one. A man, I was told, had a few years ago brought an iron safe weighing 400 pounds for Mgr. Diet from Ya-chou to Ta-chien-lu iu twenty-two days. Old or decrepit peeple commonly travel along this road borne on the backspf porters. Many of the women porters carried seven packages of tea, nearly 200 pounds, and children of five and six trudged on behind their parents with one or two.

The price paid for the work is twenty tael cents (about twenty-five cents) a package, and it takes about seventeen days to make the trip from Ya-chou. So far as my knowledge goes, there are no porters in any other part of the world who carry such weights as these Ya-chou tea coolies; and, strangeTi8 it may appear, they are not very muscular, and over half of them are confirmed opium smokers. Lieutenant RockhiU in Century. Holland Dykea Along the Allegheny. It is too late now to talk of street grades raised above high water level in Pittsburg and Allegheny.

It is hardly worth while to talk about a system of reservoirs to collect and hold the water which pours down the hill and mountain side to the Allegheny and Mouongahela. Eef are that could be done this generation would be long gathered to its fathers. But is it not worth while to talk of some possible means of saving these cities from the frequently recurring losses by tho floods? Count ur, however rougldy, the losses in various forms due to this flood and the total would go far beyond the expense of a dyke or any similar means to high waters to the natural course of the river. It should be remembered that the floods will be increased in volume in rtreportion as the watershed is denuded or forest. These losses will not ceacs with lapse of time.

Pittsburg Times. How to Brew Tea. The old English fashion in brewing tea is this: Heat the teapot which must be perfectly dry to about the temperature of boiling water, then put in the tea, the proper quantity being one tea-spoonfnl for every cup of water and one additional spoonful. The dry tea is allowed to rest in the pot for a few minutes, after which the boiling water is added. After this the teapot is to be kept on the fire, but the decoction must not be allowed to boil again for eight to ten minutes.

It is then ready for the table; but it is always well to keep a "cozy" over the teapot to keep it at a proper temperature. If, after the water is poured on the leaves, it is allowed to boil, the tannin is extracted and the beverage rendered bitter and unpleasant.

Say it is given by three men to three young ladies. Each young man should write to the young lady he is to escort a note of invitation in the third person.

Madison Square theater.

Carriage will call at seven o'clock. As a rule the number of the house should be at the top, and the date at the bottom. Inclosed in the note should be the cards of the other gentlemen. Plain white paper, unruled, is the only correct form. On the street each gentleman should offer the lady his right arm, and never take hers.

He should precede her down the aisle of the theater, and should endeavor to quickly remove his coat in the lobby beforehand. This prevents unnecessary confusion in the seat. If the party are to be seated in the box the gentleman should be careful to arrange the chairs for the ladies. If there is a chapB'rone, she should be given the place off honor invariably. It should never appear to her or any one else that she is sii'uply tolerated.

How to Blake Milk Toast.

Melt two ounces of butter in one quart of milk; add a teaspoonful of flour wet with a little cold milk, and then beat it in half a cupful of the hot milk before adding it to the nemainder. Beat two eggs in a portion of the hot milk, and then stir them well in the mixture. Strain the cream and return it to the stove, beating it carefully until it comes to the boiling point and thickens.

The subiect of this sketch was six years old when his parents removed to Water- bury, where he has since uvea, oeioveu and honored by all who knew him. Young Paul Dillingham attended the common school in Waterbury, and in 1818 he entered the Washington County Grammar School at Montpelier. In 1820 he began the study of the law in the office of Judge Daniel Carpenter in his adopted village. He was admitted to the Washington county bar in March 1823 and has until within a few years practiced his profession, except when political duties occupied his time.

For many vears he stood at the head of the profession in the State, and as a jury advocate he had no superior. The marvelous power over the jury exerted by Paul Dillingham was a notoble feature of his practice in the courts of Vermont. His political career has been a notable one. He was elected Town Clerk for sixteen successive years, serving from 1829 to 1844 elected as Representative to the Legislature in the years 1833, 1834, 1837, 1838 and 1S39. He was also elected State's Attorney in 1835, 1836 and 1837.

He was a member of the State Constitutional Convention in 183G. In 1S41 and 1842 he served as Senator in the General Assembly. There his services proved to be so valuable that he was nominated for member of Congress at the Democratic District Convention held in 1843. He was elected at the ensuing election, and entered the House March 4, 1S44. He was the only Democrat to the Vermont delegation'in Congress, and differed from his colleagues in the matter of the annexation of 'Texas as widely as in other respects.

Congressman Dillingham served as a member of the Judiciary Committee and also on the Committee on claims. He was re-elected to Congress in 1845. He was a member of the State Constitutional Convention in 1857, and in 1861 was re-elected to the Vermont Senate from Washington county. Up to the breaking out of the war he was a Democeat but at that time he united with the Republican party and was among the strongest advocates of the Union cause. Two of Governor Dillingham's sons served in the war fur the Union.

Charles, the eldest, raised Company of the Second Vermont Volunteers, in May, 1891. Another son Edwin, recruited Company 15, of the Tenth Vermont, and was elected its Cap tain; he served faithfully and met his death on the glorious field of Winchester. Mr. Dillingham was elected Lieutenant Governor of the State in 1862, 1863 sod 1864. In the Presidential canvass of the latter year he took the stump for Lincoln and Johnson.

He "was elected and inaugurated Governor in 1865. In his message to the Legislature he recem-mended the establishment of a Ssate Reform School, and the institution was located at Waterbury and the necessary buildings erected. The main edifice was subsequently destroyed by fire. During the administration of Governor Dillingham it became his duty to.appoint two United States Senators to fill out the unexpired terms of Senators Collamer and Foot, who died when the Legislature was not in session, uoveruor Dillingham appointed the late Luke P. Poland then resident in St.

Johnsbury. The appointment to fill the vacancy created Dy tne death ot bolomon oote, was tendered to ex-Governor J. G. Smith of St. Albans, who declined the honor.

Hon. George F. Edmunds was then tendered the position and accepted it. Gov. Dil lingham gave the State an admirable administration during the two years that he occupied the executive office.

He has never occupied a position that he did not adorn. He was for many years one of the most highly respected and influen- lal mem bers of the Methodist Jipiscopal church, (jrov.
