VERMONT NOT \ PURITAN STATE.-The
London Times speaks of Vermont as "a
Puritan State" Historically, this is an
error of fact There was not a single inhab-
liant in the territory called Vermont for a
hundred years afterthc settlement of Mass
achusetts by the Puritaus. Vermont was
"A disputed territory, and the first settlers
came into it TO escape the jurisdiction of
the New England colonies. They came
up the west bank of the Connecticut river.
and up the valley of the Decrtield river,
just north of the Massachusetts line. \
large number of the early immigrants were
runaway debtors from Massachusetts, Con-
necticut and Rhode Island.
1t was not until about 1860 that GOV.
Bennng Wentworth, Of New Hampshire,
began to grant townships in Vermont. He
issued the patent for Bennington, and it
was named in his honor Indeed, prior 10
1860, there was not probably in the State,
more than one thousand inhabitants.
The State was Puritan in the sense only
Of being settled mostly from the New Eng
land colonies. The first constitution of the
State was the most liberal and Democratic
of any established in the world, up TO the
time Of its adoption. All men were regard
ed lv the law as free and equal in political
rights and privileges. No religious test
was ever established. There was never a
slave in the State.
Vermont was never a colony and never A
Puritan State. It's people have, however,
much of the religious shirt of the puritnn

\ GOOD JOKE.-The Washington cores
pendent Of the Montpelier journal relates
the following joke on John II. Flagg, lcgis-
lative clerk of the United States Senate,
and Geo. G. Hunt, Esq, orst. Adams, the
humorous and jolly paymaster Of the Cen
trail railroads
Mr.. Flagg, the former clerk of the House
Of Representatives of Vermont, who is now
the efficient and universally popular legis-
lative clerk of the United States Senate, is
noted for never emitting an opportunity to
do q kind or courteous act. On this occasion
he had run across the Treasurer ofthe Yer
mont Central railroad who was spending a
few days here, and desired to listen to the
debate. As the seats in the galleries were
all full, Mr.. Flagg readily procured his adj
mission to the Diplomatic Gallery, (Which
Is specially reserved for foreign ministers
and their famiies) which was then empty.
Soon after returning to his desk in front Of
the Vice President, Mr.. Flagg glanced up
to the Diplomatic gallery and observed
shat the British Minister with several
friends had entered, and were seated i'm
mediatelv in front ofthc distinguished gen
llculdu .Iblu NtIlil1lll. toullI! tIdl
his friend was unaware Of the dignity and
indcntitv OF his ncighbors. his usual kind
impulses prompted him to write line as
follows: Mr. Hunt, Sir Edward Thorn
ton, the British Minister, sits in front Of
you. He is the man with the gray mNttoa-
chop whiskers. Yours, Flagg.'
Calling page and pointing out the man,
he sent him to deliver it. TO his conster-
nation, he soon after saw the doorkoepor
pass down the aisle, and tapping Sir Ed
ward on the shoulder, give the note into
| his hand instead of his friend on thn scat
| behind. Sir Edward drew his eye glass
| leisurely, read the uotc, anl Immediately
took his hat and left the gallery, followed
| by all his diplomatic friends. Just at this
| point Fagg would have paid an cxtrava-
giant price for the temporary occupancy OF
a quiet and retired squirrel hole in Ncr-
mont Mr.. Thornton, however, apprccia-
ted the joke, and called his friends to smile
over 1t with him, but soon returned. Flagg
| thinks there is no danger of any diploma

after he will leave friends whom he passes
into the Diplomatic gallery to find out
their distinguished ncighbors without his
! assistance.

The business Of the past week has been
mainly confined TO the discussion of ques-
tons of interest. In the Senate amnesty
matter has been debated and several
amendments proposed and rejected. On
Friday Il vote was reached on the civil
rights amendment of Mr.. Slmner which
was carried by the casting vote of the vice
president. The vote in the Senate, stood
Is to 2S, when the presiding officer gave his
vote In the affirmative. After further dis
cussion, the main question was put and the
bill rejected, as twO-thirds of the Senate
did not vote in its favor. The vote stood
SO to 10.
In the House, the principal matter under
discussion has been the bill to establish an
educational fund from the proceeds of the
sales of the public lands. The bill met
with considerable opposition from the
democrats and was finally passed by
strictly party vote.
Both branches Lave done considerable
small business incidentally, and the appro-
pration bills, mostly cut down from the
department estimates, are being put through
earlier in the session than usual. For q
wonder, the Senate passed the pension APP
preparation bill on the same day it was re-
ported. The ways and means committee
has wisely resolved to have no more long
winded "hearings" from various interests,
and wi go to work in earnest upon the
internal revenue and tariff bills. The COM
mittee recommended that the tax on smok-
| ing tobacco remain as it is, at lG cents per
pound, and the tax on chewing tobacco be
reduced from 80 to "a cents. They have
also agreed to report bill to the House,
repeating the duties on tea and coffee
The committee on appropriations has
finished the army appropriation bill, which
approprates S29, 100000, and is now consid-
ering the deficiency bill. The amounts to
be appropriated foot up thus far $500, 600.
The possibility of a rupture with Spain,
and the present Hurry with England,
make more impressive the statements about
the weakness of our navy, and the bill for
| the construction of ten new steam vessels
of war, which tho naval committee has
agreed to, will probably go through both
branches without serious opposition
