Ia 1888, the State Appropriated t,eo thousand
dollars for "A monument go Ethan Allen, % he
erected in the cemetery OF that city. the money
was OF course expended and helu.ifu. Tuscan
monument commentaries the virtues of the ola
hero. la 1897, the Legislature of Vermont
authorized the committee 10 procure statue Of
Ethan Allen and place 1t on the monument,
without expense TO the state. The act was Of
course resultless, because it contained no apur5-

from the halls Of tie temple that is trod bv the
feet Of living men, this i,iustrious memorial If

residing in that city have got in their rockets
+ funds enough 20 carry out their own wishes.
I On the whole, We think this report about As re-
freshing piece of impudeuce as We have ever
known. And if the Legislature should see fit TO
comply with this extraordinary petition, which
aims to gain by indirection what it could not
get fairly at the outset, we trust
they will also send down to Burling-
ton the golden statue that surmounts
the dome OF the State House, to be put on the
American Hotel or any other place the commit
Tee may designate, and also give 70 the members
Of the committee the bronze figures that are in
the yesubu!e of the Hall Of the House to adorn
their parlors, and appropriate whatever is neces-
sary to defray the cost Of transportation.

used only two or three bottles. Some days they
nave used 1t according to the directions, and
DINERS nave not touched it. The whole trial ha.
been irregular, and Of course = less favorable
result has come from their use If it be true
that " what Is worth doing at sll is worth doing
well, how emphaticslly is il true in n,tters re-
