From tlie Dally Mknnbkorb of Feb. 23. A complimentary lunch was tendered to the olllcers of the state militia on Wednesday evening by tlie Barlow Grays. Tables wero spread In the armory, and coffee, enke and Ice cream wero served, and tho "wur-rlors" took advantage of this event to mix In a llttlo fun with tho prescribed course of "study." Before tho after-dinner ceremonies really began, the newly-fledged Capt. Wyman made a silent speech, which literally went up In smoke with tho help of all his associate olllcers who enjoyed a good cigar.

Warren Glbbs was appointed toast-master after Capt. Bordo had rapped the tables to order, and Col. Farrlngton was called on to welcome tho visiting olllcers, which ho did In fitting terms, complimenting tho First Regiment as a whole, and expressing tlie desire that the purpose of this olllcers' school might be fully accomplished. Gen. Grecnleaf was next called out and said ho had many kindly recollections of St.

Albans, and referred pleasantly to some of his military experiences hereabouts.

which, he said, had always been a most enjoyable association in which members of the battery took great pride. In closing he made patriotic reference to this government, based on tlie sovereignty of the people, and therefore needing no immense standing army, such as was maintained elei hern. The Tuesday Evening Glee Club was present and sang with fine effect, getting a rousing encore and many compliments. before the break-up, Gen'l Green-leaf made complimentary reference to the Barlow Grays and their past military record, and after expressing gratitude for the courtesies which lie company had shown on this occasion, proposed three cheers, which were given with a will.

"What do you suppose 1 know about a stone wall?" exclaimed one member of a local jury that had been called out to examine a wall over which there wa a legal contest. That juryman forgot that It wasn't absolutely necessary for htm to know anything about a stove wall. The olllcers of the state militia commented favorably on the neat quarters both company rni'tii and drill room of the Harlow Grays. The armory proved a very convenient place for the scluol, and it was generally conceded that the sessions were profitable to all who took part in them. Several of the state papers have been publishing as late news the story the finding of the skeleton of a man in a tree hole at Montpelier.

Tho compliments of the advertisers pre never out of season. Hints from the South. We make the following extracts from a letter written cn route by J. II. Crosby, who recently left St.

Albans for a trip South. Speaking of Jacksonville harbor and tho surrounding country, he says "Tho entrance to this harbor from the sea In ono that is quite novel. As one looks out over a country that has no hills of much prominence there are seen Instead trees and shrubs of various hues and size, varying In shades and character, quite unlike any of our Northern kinds, and all Is new and attractive. Soon tho orange trees begin to bo very common, particularly about the residences, and tlie oranges, bright and yellow and very plentiful, hang upon almost every tree, and look not unlike nice yellow apples on our trees. The common or native orange is not used very much, though are useful, the same as our native apple." "The hotels are one great feature, nnd cannot lie passed by for were it not for the great number of costly and large ones there would bo no possibility of taking care of such a rush of people ss pour In hero dally.

Today I was at the Savannah depot, so called, on the arrival of the vestibule tialu, and I counted 34 omnibuses. 80 you see that from cars on eight or nine railroads and nine or ten steamboat 'docks the people come in such numbers that the teams are going about all the time with trunks and passengers. Tlie large hotels are about all full, and over to St. Augustine, at the Ponce De Leon, they turned away 50 in one day. Tlieio Is no u-e talking Southern California to anyone here, nor to hundreds who have come over from there to tlie Exposition.

The ladies are dressed often in wonderfully rich satins ond velvets and ornamental in gold and silver, sometimes like the Persian aud other high toned and wealthy people.

I cannot give you anythiug like a just description of the beautiful night one has of Florida productions here In tlie exposition. I presume there are 1000 boxe of organges open and spread about, and great high pyramids, stands, nnd show ea-es filled aud covered with alUiuanner of fruit, flowers and trees, with fruit growing, nud all species of shrubs ever heard of.

"The water supply is from a Inrge artesian well and by using power maintains a pressure of 100 pounds to thu Inch for lliv purposes.

Rutland Herald. How Slate Stock is Quarried.

Fair Haven Correspondence in Troy Times. A large quautity of slate stock was moved yesterday from the bed at Coulcrmin Wes-cott's quarry. The shelf which, composed this stock was forty feet wide, sixty feet long and twenty feet thlck.4,320 tons being tlie entire weight of tlie bed, with more than 100,000 feet of slate stock. Twelve holes twenty feet in depth were drilled. It took 350 pounds of powder to load this charge.

The charge was fired instantaneously with an igniting dynamo, under the supervision of George II. Harris. Three days were consumed in drilling the holes. If the work had been done in tlie old-fashioned way of drilling by hand It would have required "an ordinary gang of men from three to four months. "Rules" at the Soldier' Home.

Wo heard a good thing "on the fly" at the armory last week, which shows what kind of management the Soldiers' Home has under the present administration, ami how the old veteran Inmates regard It. It seems that somebody wrote to one of the members of tlie Home, asking jis to the rules that govern the institution. The reply he got ran something like this "Rules? We haven't any rules. Any man who can't cheerfully do all that Cnpt. and Mrs.

Coffey ask him to do has no business to come here." The interest which the management has in the old veterans, and the "reciprocity" sentiment which prevails, make so called "rules and regulations" rather unnecessary. Editor Atkins a Trifle Worried. A Washington dispatch of the 21th says "Editor Hiram Atkins of Montpelier left for New York this morning, but will return 011 Monday. Mr. Atkins came on to handle Collector Smnlley's proxy in the national committee but as lie holds an appointment in connection with the building of the post-(illlce in his town, he hesitated to do anything partisan.

Tlie president was asked if Mr. Atkins' office was exempted from the non-partisan spirit of tho times. Tlie only answer was a shrug of the shoulders, and Mr. Atkins did not sit In the national committee; but the hustling democrat of the Green Mountains will take the first op-portunlty to free himself from tlie trammels of the civil service and to renew his penurious activity of old. Mr.

Atkins Is a trifle bothered by tlie delay here In the public building matter. He said to Senator Morrill, since he came, "Why, If things go on in this, way that building at Montpelier will not be finished during Cleveland's second term nor David B. Hill's two terms afterward." The Faith-Cure for a Sick Dog. There was a strange sceue In Chicago office one afternoon last week. Near the door stood a richly dressed lady with sn expression of disappointment on her face and a pug dog in her arms.

The dog's face also wore an expression of disappointment he was timid and chilly as well, and did not seem to feel well. A few feet away was another woman, with her hands uplifted, palms outward. In a go-away, don't Isither-me. simply-Impossible attitude. Thepoordog looked appealingly into th.

first woman's eyes, and the eyes of the first woman were turned eutreatingly toward tho cold, frowning face of the second woman. There was no softening, no yielding there, and so the first woman had naught to do but snuggle poor doggie under her furs, and go out into the cold street. "I never heard of such a thing never heard of such a thing," exclaimed the remaining woman pettishly. "It is an Insult, that's what it Is. With my Christian science I have healed old and young, even little children but this is the first time I was ever called upon to heal a sick dog with metaphysics.

It Is -positively Insulting." The World Likes Fun. Taking the succesi of V. Nasby" as a subject for comment the Washington correspondent of the New York World says The Toledo Blade Is probablv worth at least 8500,000 and Nasby has made by tickling the sides of humanity. The world always pays more for the comic than for the serious, and tlie miustrel show gets the dollars while the pennies go luto the contribution box to pay for the parson's sermon. Milton got 850 for "Paradise Lost," while Mark Twain received $75,000 for "Innocents Abroad." Josh Billings received $25,000 for Ids magazine work alone, and his literary profits ran into the hundreds of thousands.

M. Quad is said to receive $5,000 a year from the Detroit Free Press, and Burdette could make an equal amount out of his lecture field alone. Nasby had been working for a few dollars a week a short time before ho began his humorous letters, and Josh Billings sold his first venture, the "Essay on the Mule," for $1.50. Tom Xast received for years $10,000 for tlio comic part of his nature as it came 6ut through the end of his pencil, and Artemus Ward, while working for $12 a week on tlie Cleveland Plniu Dealer, discovered that he had the gift of humor, and not long after this wo find him in England writing articles for Punch, each of which paid him 81 100. The fun and the pathos, which sometimes creep Into Bret Harte's work has given him his literary success, and Sunset Cox once told inu that Ids "Why We Laugh" was one of the best paying of the shorter works he had written, aud that it still continues to sell.

Tho Newspaper as an Advertising Medium. The usefulness of the newspaper as an advertising medium cannot be overrated. Pamphlets and circulars go no ono knows whither, the only conclusion to bo arrived at being the certainty that they arc never read, but a newspaper Is a habit, a rule of life which pervades communities and clings to individuals like the clothes they wear. We Imbibe love for tlie newspaper 011 our father's knees, contending there for recognition of our clabrs asninst Its exclusive rights, and we relinquish it when tho light fades from our eyes. In proportion to the love we bear it Is the confidence we have in its influence with the general public whose interest and attention we desire to attract and engage.

Some advertisers value these advantages very highly. One column in lengtli in the Chicago" Tribune costs the advertiser $112,000. the lowest in the New York World brings into the treasury and the highest price $318,000. Tho New York Tribune's lowest charge per column is and Its highest, and the columns of these paper are always full.
