The grass which had been at a standstill during the dry time, has started up well since the rains, and now looks nearly or quite as well as usual at this time of the year. A small party from this place attended the "living whist" entertainment given by the Univcrsallst society in Clareiuont, X. H., last evening. The entertainment closed with a dance to which only a limited number of tickets were sold, and which was ery enjoyable. Music was by War den's orchestra. The board of cemetery commissioners held a meeting last Monday afternoon at the oflice of the Vermont Farm Machine company. Mans for the improvement of the grounds this season were laid, includ ing the probable building of a neat Iron fence along the front on the Saxtons River road, replacing the old unsightly wooden fence of the past few years.

More than a hundred supper tickets were sold, and the supper was fully up to the usual high standard of the ladies of this society. The cantata was a gi eat success, and the evening closed with the usual dancing, with music by Huntoon's or chestra. A drunken man caused some amusement or disgust as you look at it on Henry street, Wednesday afternoon, by attempt ing to drive over the machinery used in moving the Woods house. The horse and machinery for pulling the building stood directly at the entrance of Hartley street where he wanted to go, and he sat In his wagon brandishing liis whip and ordering the" men to move the timbers out of his way, in language which was forcible if nothing more. It is understood that he was taken in hanrt, later, by the police. F. V. Ball, of the firm of Derby it Ball, is In attendance as delegate upon the gen eral conference of the Methodist Episcopal church In Omaha, Neb. This conference, which is held quadrennially, convened on the second of May and will be in session the greater part of the month. The con ference now in session is a most important one, that body holding as it does, with a few exceptions, entire control, ecclesiasti cally, of the bishops and ministers of this branch of Methodism, as well as of all its property interests. The delegates to the general conference are elected by the lay men, and the ratio is one delegate for every 45 ministers, and one for every frac tion equal to two-thirds of that number. Among the many important questions to to be discussed at this conference are those of a larger representation of the laity, and the question of the admission of women as delegates. I'erKonnl.

Tiie ten-block systrm of locating and numbering country houses, so successfully introduced In Contra Costa county, Cal ifornia, has recently engaged the attention of Postmaster General Watianiaker. who wants to sec If It Is not of Importance in connection with the extension of the free delivery into the country. The practical working of the Contra Costa plan Is esjiec lally gratifying to all friends of rural free delivery, because it removes the only ob stacle to rapid and accurate service in the country. It is a ten-block system with the same usefulness and even greater accuracy than that of the city system, because It gives not only the location, but the exact distance of every house from it given jiolnt. Starting from a convenient centre, say the county seat, each mile Is divided into ten equal jiarts, or blocks, having a front age of 3'2 rods. Two numbers are assigned to each block, the odd ones on the left and the even ones on the right. Whenever country houses are near enough to be sit uated In the same block they have the same number, but are distinguished as follows: 525 51!5A 5251), etc. Distances can be quickly calculated from the county scat, or from one house to another by the sltn jile method of dividing the (inference by two (there being two numbers In eacli block) and the result by ten for answer in miles. As the second step Is Instantan eous by the decimal method of pointing off two places, the entire jirocess Is very rapid. For Instance, 425 Is 21!J blocks, or tenths of mtles, equivalent to 21.H miles from the county seal or point of departure. Sig nificant and appropriate names are given to roads, and all by-roads are further Indi cated by the three words Local, Conncx and Exit, which have definite and uniform meanings, the first having no outlet, usu ally terminating in the hills and for local convenience only; the second applied to short connecting roads, and the third hav ing no outlet by land, usually ending at a landing with a water exit. How 1'nrls Itiirli-s Its PihI. In every great city the jioor live by the worldly vanities of the rich. In l'arlsthey die in the same way. It is the manufact ure of innumerable stijierlluities which makes up the bulk of the Industry of the working classes. The French capital has developed an ingenious system by which the joor are furnished with a free burial at the exjiense of the "jiride, jiomp, and cir cumstance1' which Dives considers his due on the road to the tomb. One of the larg est, best managed and most jirolilable In dustries in Paris is that of the 'ohkx Fuu'ehre, the gigantic mouojioly which alone has the juivilege of trausiiortlng the dead through the streels of Paris in funer al style. It jiossesses undertakers' materi als to the value of over four million of francs, does some six millions it year of business, and turns over nearly two and a half millions of this as clear prolit to its accredited owners, the church establish ment of the city, alter gratuitously and de cently burying some three out of every five of the dead as indigent subjects. Each country and each age have their own fash ion of dlsjiosing of their dead, from the Patagonlan who makes "lion meal" of his spouse hack to the ancient Konmn with his ancestral urns. Taken all in all, jierhajis there is no mote reasonable arrancement than that of the thrifty Parisian who man ages to have each dsjioal of the dead car ried out "decently and in order' through the exploitation of a love of lavish display in a minor portion of the community. One sees nothing of the ghastly side of the undertaken.' work in visitlnc the vast jiremi.se.s which have been recently devoted to the use of the I'nmju'n I'liu'ibn, away out in the extreme northeast of Paris, in La Vilelte. There we found only "the tnijijiing and the suits of woe," the mate rials for the funeral decorations and the funeral rurtfije. Take it altogether, ram ble over the establishment is one of the most interesting sights of the city. The Furuin. Crime Doe .nl I'm). The death of Henry Wade Wilkes, com monly known as George Wilkes, is an illus tration of the wretched results that follow a career of persistent crime.

The earnings of a clerkship were too small for him, and he tried to add to fItoTti In famlilliirr Prmn 111 mlilifif. li -"v J r- - . p. .. naturally drifted to forgery, realizing as much as $100,00(1 In three years, i The forger developed into an extert burglar, and Wilkes was so successful In his varied criminal ojieratious that he be came known as 'The king of crooks." At length the inevitable day arrived when life long imprisonment stared the master crim inal in the face. He saved himself by be traying his companions. Liberated for his jterlidy, lie sank lower and lower In the scale, and became a homeless outcast, eking i out existence by doing work of the most I menial sort in a low New York groggery. He met a violent death at unknown hands, and was saved from the Potter's Field by the charity of a former acquaintance, j Such was the fate of one of the most , successful criminals of the age.

Enclosing this central ave nue and the two side ones are four rows of lindens, which have given the street Its name. Hut you must not think of the huge wonderful lindens of our northern Germany. The old trees have suffered a great deal from time and the hostile influ ences of a great city, esjieclally from the gas always fatal to vegetation and they are now a very shabby, mean and melan choly sight. The electric light has here for some years dispossessed its rival, and gleams down from tall, beautifully shajied jKst8, that are really ornamental. Parallel with the outermost rows of lindens there are two more roadways, asphalt on one side and excellently jtaved ujion the other, and also a broad sidewalk on both sides: so that the street has consequently seven divisions; two sidewalks, three roads for vehicles, a bridle-jiath and a jiromenade.

They were, then jilaced In the case, each bone being carefully wraji jied in an oily jiapcr and fastened into the coinjiarttnent jireparetl for it. When every hone was in jilace and accurately fastened the uneven surface was filled with this oily jiajior and the whole hermetically sealed, but not until a long, narrow document, lit erally covered with Chinese characters, giving in detail every linporlnnl fact con ccmingSam Wah and his family, had been jilaced within a jiockct within the box.

One of the strange effects that diving lias ujion those who jiractice it is the in variable bad temper felt while working at the bottom; and as this irritability jiasses away as soon as the surface is "reached again, it is only reasonable to suppose that it is caused by the unusual jiressure of air inside the dress, affecting jirobably the lungs, and through them the brain. My exjierience has been that while below one may lly into the most violent jiassion at the merest trifle: for Instance, the life-line held too tight or too slack, too much air or too little, or some Imaginary wrong-doing on the Jiart of the tender fir the boys above, will often cause the temjier to rise.
