PROGRESS lNPOSSIBLE.-IHE GOAL REACHEI
AT A Bound We call this the age of pro
gTess. 1t is So. But in some department.
of science discoveries have been made. and
practical systems introduced, which leave
nothing TO be desired in the way of improve
ment, and which, in fact, preclude progress
by giving us perfection at the outset. For
example. when Professor HoLLowAY. some
twenty-five years ago, gave to the world his
inestImable remedies, he seems to have left
nothing even for himself to achieve, in the
treatment Of human maladies. The progress
of the demand for his Pills and Ointment
has, indeed, been unparalleled in the history
Of medicine; but he has found no reason to
alter a single Ingredient or vary q proportion
We therefore class the sovereign antidotes
for external and internal diseases with which
that distinguished medical re;ormer has
blessed the world, among the inventions
which are perfected at their birth.
Our method Of arriving at a correct appre-
citation Of the respective merits of opposing
systems, is by comparison. Now, we have
seen a great deal Of what is called regular
practice, and do not hesitate to say that it
fails more frequently than 1t succeeds. This
is not the case with H0ll0way's Pills and
Ointment. In many instances-some OF
which should be specified if space permitted
we have seen these remedies effect complete
and permanent cures, when eminent members
Of the faculty had exhausted their repertoires
without finding anything that would even
Alternate the agOnies Of their patients. Testi-
mOny confirmatory of our " observations
on the subject is continually pouring in from
all parts Of the Union. and we cannot re-

common sense of the public, and the almost
universal opinion Of our brethren Of the
press.
The case as between the Faculty and Pro-
fessor Holloway seems to stand thus The
faculty have the prestige Of antiquity,
authority and usage.
Holloway. on the other hand, is not a man
of mouldy maxims. Small respect has he for
Galen and CANNON. He cites no authori-
ties, save living witnesses and contemporary
facts. \ few pages suffice to develope his
system and embrace his simple directions.
He denounces mercury and all corrosive
p0isOns, and does not believe that life can be
saved by draining its fountains. Above all,
he furnishes the whole civilized, and no small
portion Of the semi-barbarian and savage
world, with u Pill and an OINTMENT, which
appear to accomplish all that the Faculty
aim at, but in five cases out of six fail to
For diseases of the stomach, the liver,
the bowels and kidneys, as well as for or

The REP0RT 0FTHE SECRETARY or The BOARD
OF EDUCArIoN.-Severa Of our Vermont con-
temporaries comment upon the typographi-
cal appearance Of the Report-some COM
mending it, and one or two (whose copies
were. perhaps, less perfect than the average)
finding fault. We beg leave to assure our
brethren of the craft, that the execution of
the work Is quite as good as the price at
which it was done. Much of the public
printing of the State, as all who know any
thing about it are aware, is done at " starva-
ton prices" The Secretary's Report had to
be done a little lower than the lowest, and
with a haste which precluded any great ele-
gance or accuracy. We shall be very glad
to see any Improvement in those respects in
future numbers.

The number Of uses to which paper is put
among the japanese is perfectly wonderful.
With the aid Of varnish and skillful painting
they make of it excellent trunks, tobacco
bags, cigar cases. saddles, telescope cases,
frames for microscopes. and waterproof
coats, the latter really keeping ont the rain
and are as supple as the best mackintosn.
They use neither silk nor cotton handker-
chiefs, towels, or busters; paper in their
hands serves as an excellent substitute. The
inner walls Of many Of their houses are moth
ing more than painted paper screens, and
their windows are covered with a fine trans
lucent description of the same material. IF
a shopkeeper has a parcel to tie up, he takes
a strip Of paper, rolls it quickly between his
hands, and uses for the purpose, and it is
quite as strong as the ordinary string usei
among US. One Of the stipulations for the
bride. in a marriage contract is, always, that
she shall have a certain quantity ofpaper al

is controlled by the same managing
Po,Der, (Which, for that matter, has
been one while directors of the Vt. & Canada
and one, while trustees of the Vt. Central,
pretty much as has suited the convenience
of the same parties and for the benefit and
interest of the two corporations together.
When the Legislature are called upon to
re-charter (for the act is intended to do that}
the Vt. & Canada, we say it is in duty bound
to protect the public cOnren'ence as far as
possible and not to leave all that at loose
ends, for private managers to regard or not,
as their selfish interests may dictate. The
public has had experience enough of the con-
sequences 0 fthat way of doing things.
1t seems to US that the expectations of the
Times are softening down materially in this
matter. A year ago, (Nov. 20, 1852 after
the passage Of the Ra ilroad act of last year,
it said:
Essex Junction has long been an impediment;
1t can be so no longer. Its glory is gone; its
posllloh Is reversed, ana IL must forever remain,
hereafter, merely 4 place where trains hesitate
not stop.
From Essex Junction to Milton, 1.-THE point
Of connection with the Vt. and Canada road what
must become Of the Vt. Central track? We don't
know. The Vermont Central Trains must come
to Burlington, Of course; and it does not seem
likely that they will return to the Junction to
start for Rouse's Point, when they can proceed di-
rectly to that station, from Burlington, ula the
Vt. and Canada road. The inference would ap-
pear to be, economically considered. that the line
from the Junction to Milton must be practically
abandoned. 1t is not unlikely, therefore. that
the rails, ties, bridges, &c, on that part Of the
road will be taken up, and used in constructing
the road from Burlington northwards, where the
Legislature, and the charter, contemplated it
would be constructed, in the beginning. Things
are working clear. The true connecting, and dis
%tributlng point for Vermont railroads, in the
North, is Burlingt on. 1t is impossible to circum-
vent this fact.
Burlington free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1827-1865, 1859-10-28

W. d Canada road is completed to its con-
nection with the Rutland & Burlington road,
in the village of Burlington, the running of
passenger cars shall be such as to make no
change of cars and no delay on the route; be-
tween the two termini of the vt. d Canada
R. R..-viz: Rouse's Point on the north, and
the Rutland & Burlington R. r. in the vii
lage of Burlington. In other words, that
for the north and south route from Rouse's
Point to Rutland, the point Of connexion
shall be here, in Burlington, and not at
some other junction north OF this place All
right. 1t should be so. The natural place
of railroad connection for the two roads on
that route is here, on the bank Of the lake, so
that passengers by the lake as well as by the
land routes NAV be best accommodated. Now
is not the same place, here, on the bank of the
lake. also the natural point of conuexion for
the travel from Burlington eastward, through
Montpelier? Certainly it is.
At present, every passenger over this
great route of intercourse between the two
sides of the State, is annoyed by the delays
and discomforts Of the present connection at
Essex Junction. The fact is, that is an I'M
natural connerion for the passenger travel of
the people of this State. The only natural
one in this region is at Burlington on the
lake shore, and the whole travelling public
have cried out at the inconvenience of the
Essex Junction arrangement, from the day
when it was first made. Whatever the leg
%islature can do 10 a5ate that nuisance, it
ought to do, because the public convenience
demands it.
Those interested in the Vermont & Cana
da Railroad are now asking for what is vir-
tually a re-charter, and nothing less. Nheth-
er the Legislature can thus restore the dead
to life, is a question for the Courts. But at
any rate it is right that the Legislature, if it
re-ch rters, shall require that so far as the
running of the Vt. Central road is at any
time under the control Of the Directors of
the Vt. & Canada road, or whoever mana
ges it for the benefit Of the two roads, through
passenger trains shall be run to and from
Burlington eastward, as far, at least, as
Mortified, as well as between Burlington
and Rouse's Point. No doubt such a pro-
vision can be attached to the present bill,
and if the other provisions of the bin are
ever carried out, such a one would add to its
beneficial effect many fold. Without it though
a moderate number Of persons going through
on the North and South route will be more
commoded than they now are, citizens Of our
own State, in far crater numbers, will be
left subject to an evil which can easily be re-
moved if the Legislature will please to re-
move it..
