August. The stage coming along, we
SCOT aboard" and arrived at the Mt.
Mansfield House, Stowe, in an hour and
a half, with keen relish for supper.
This and the Summit House are owned
by the Mt Mansfield hotel company,
and they will accommodate about five
hundred guests. The rooms in the Mt.
Mansfield House are large, airy, well
furnished and, above all, neat and clean.
After supper we drove to Hydepark,
stayed over night and, after partaking
of trout breakfast with Col. Sawyer,
left for St. Johnsbury, where we arrived
about a. M Superintendent Bryant,
wishing to show us all the branches of
his road, arranged "a special, consisting
of engine and 'Epalace car, and invited
us, together with Mr.. Bridgeman of the
Boston Ad0e'tisea, our old friend, George
Howe, master mechanic of the road, and
the road master, to visit West Concord,
some eight miles west of st. Johnsbury.
The whole road, as far as built, is one of
the most picturesque in the United
States, and, aside from its summer local
traffic, will become the favorite route for
the tourist from Saratoga, Lakes George
and Champlain to the White Mountains
Taken all in all, the trip was one of the
finest we ever enjoyed, and our thanks
are due to our old friends and new for
the opportunity afforded us of visiting
so attractive a part of our State.

READE As a LTTIGANT.-Nr Charles
Reade. in a characteristic letter to the
editor of the Utica Observer. mOdestly
disclaims the prominence awarded to
him as bringer of libel suits He has
only two--a very moderate amount for
a gentleman of his peculiarly explosive
temper and whose works are so tempt
ing to the shafts Of the wicked libellers.
To us. however, it is of very slight
importance whether Mr. Reade has two
suits or two hundred, but it is a cheer
full indication when he feels called upon
to say, asbe does in the letter referred to ::
III Il no rcnecJlOn on mans talent
to say that he Las written indecentIy :;
and it is a reflection on his mind, on his
soul, on his goodness and on his very
belief in God and in judgment to come
for the deeds done in the body and the
words written. Therefore, sir, | think
pOsterity will say that in suing several
English journals for conspiracy of a
playwright clique and for defamation,
and in eXtorting apologies from some
and damages from others, l did bat up
hold the dignity and self-respect of an
author and a gentleman
Nothing can be sounder than this, and
we are glad that Mr.. Reade puts so much
earnestess into such an avowal. Now

COST AND DISTANCES.


RUTLAND, VT, June IL.
Rutland is 234 miles north from New
York. The fare via the Hudson River
railroad is $6,65, and via the Harlem
Extension. $50. The distance from
Boston to this place is 1877 miles. Rut-
land has three good, connections ho-
tels-the Bates House, the Berwick
Hotel and the Bardweli House. Man
chester, summer retreat, thirty miles
south of here, has become a popular re
sort for city visitors, and the Equinox
House, its hotel, will be found satistac-
tory. The Clarendon House, at Gar
endon Springs, seven miles southwest
from Rutland, is well patronized during
the summer season, as is the MontYert
Hotel at Middletown Springs, fifteen
miles southwest of here. The waters OF
both are healing.
"Hyde's Hotel" in Sudbury, twenty
miles from here, has been for genera
ton a great resort. To reach there the
visitor will leave the cars at Brandon,
as will also those who intend to visit
equally as famous a resort twenty-five
miles north of RutIand-Lake Dunmore,
in Salisbury, TO which coaches run from
Brandon every day. At Lake Dunmore
NAV be found good boating and flshlng.
| Several neat cottages have recently been
| erected for the comfort OF visitors.
Next, northward, sixty-seven miles
from here, lies the beautiful city OF Bur
lington, accessible from all directions
both by railroad and by steamers on
Lake Champlain. Here are many mag
nifcent dwellings and churches, and the
scenery is very fine. 1t is, indeed,
|
and the view of the ''brOad lake and the
Adirondack range of Mountains to the
west is, indeed, splendid. Burlington
! has three good hotels. two Of them quite
large and commodious-the Van Ness
House and the American Hotel.
Next, northwardly, is the thriving
village of st. Adams. with its beautiful
bay and splendid prospect of Lake
Champlain and the surrounding country.
| The Weldon House in st. Adams, is one
of the finest in Vermont.
Eight miles east of st. Adams, by
railroad are the famous ''Sheldon
| Springs" whose waters have the repu-
tation of being cure for all the ills and
infirmities that flesh is heir to. Here
the air is pure and delightful and the
scenery grand and sublime. Mountains
to the west, while eastward lies the
/. Green Mountain range and Mount Mans

Parties can leave New York at seY-

D. m. or leave New York at four p. IN
and arrive here at half-past one on the

s.UNExPENDED BALANCES, >,

In brief editorial, entitled "Unex-
pended Balances-What becomes of
Them ?" relating particularly to the back
pay question, the Springfield Republican
asks and says: care Mr.. Richardson
''and General Spinner quite sure of their
claw? They have been repeatedly
'quoted in the semi-oficial dispatches
''as authority for the statement that the
"extra pay would remain subject to the
''order of congressman for a long
''time to conceive years or so. If
''they have found any fault with the
''use of their names, the public has yet
''to hear of it. Naturally, though lit
''tle impruGently, the newspapers of the
country have taken it for granted that
''the treasury understood its business
''that if General Spinner told cores
''pondents the law was thus andso, thus
''and so it must be-" Strange as it may
seem to the Republicans, there was no
imprudence on the part of the people or
the newspapers of the country in be-
heving, in this instance, at least, that
''the treasury understood its business.
We are fain TO advise the Republican to
follow the advice, which, in another
part of the same article, it gives to the
treasury officials, namely: that they
would ''do well to overhaul their books,
land when found to make note of. "
There was law enacted by the Forty
first Congress relating to unexpended
balances, which provides THAT all bal
''ances of appropriations which shall
shave remained on the books of the
treasury, without being drawn against
Sin the settlement of accounts, for tioO
years from tie date Of the last approprj-
''atiOn made by law, shall be reporte l."
ETC., and if, upon examination, it shall
be found that such balances will not be
required for the purpose for which they
were appropriated, ''then the secretary
may include such balances in his war
rant, for general purposes, or to meet
other appropriations, it is to be presum-
although the law does not state in, war
rants for what purposes he ''may include
such balances" This is the last law
passed by Congress upon this subject. if
not the only one, being, undoubtedly.

ALBANY, June 81, 1878.
Editor Rutland Herald: AS you are
aware, intense feeling exists here re-
garding the location of the new post
office and government building. 1t
seems majority of the citizens favor
the Opera House block, on South Pearl
street, while minority, representing
greater wealth (and congressional Gin
fluence"?) have determined it shall be
located uptown, on Broadway, or no
qoHere. Rule or ruin-Modoc-o what
ever you may denominate it. Well, the
United States authorities decided on the
former site, the masses ratified that ac-
ton, the Common Council passed the
necessary appropriation bill, the NAL
content aristocracy got into room, re-
s0Eoed, and then dissolved, and this
morning Mayor Thatcher's veto of the
appropriation was like "Jack in the box"
sprung upon an astonished, disguised
and indignant populace. This veto vir-
tually depriyes Albany of the govern
ment appropriation, entirely, and all
Mr.. Perl.y's energetic efforts in this di-
rection while in Congress go ornaught;
the dog in the manger is there still. So
much by way of introduction.
Well, this evening, after tea, while
testing the quality of our cigar on the
porch, our imagination rambling away
among the green hills and rugged noun
tains which encircle our beautiful Cham
plain (lake) we were startled by the
fire alarm sounding from the box on the
corner of Green and State streets. The
central locality indicated caused great
alarm and excitement. We joined the
crowd rushing for State street. We have
not seen such rush since Grant
''passed" through here last season.
Prompt as we were, the ever vigilant
and efficient firemen were ahead of us,
ard we, with them, returned from as
wicked a sell as was even perpetrated
ON first class organization. 1t seems
the citizens, burning with Indignation,
( had formed shapely effigy of their
| idoliZed Mayor, (full dress, boots and
alD seated in chair, in the act of sign
ing the veto, and appropriately placarded
placed it in the middle of State street,
set it on fire and then sounded the alarm
to call together a crowd. 1t was most
successful ruse, and one of the most tell
anu SuiSeiooiC DdChIeiIlu
to public official, we ever witnessed.

i.t, are at the Park and the new Capitol,

ing appearance. But for these, Rip

THUNDER AND LovE.-They tell about
blooming young widow in Derby who
used to live next door to Mr.. Smith, who
was widower and timid man, whose
mild eyes beamed blandly through his
spectacles This widow had a kindness
for Smith, and he reciprOcated it; but
he had hardly enough courage to carry
on the campaign. So at last the widow
pretended to be terribly afraid of thun-
der and lightning, and whenever she
saw gust coming up, she used to
smooth her hair and rush into Mr..
Smiths house. Then, when she heard
a peal of thunder she would scream and
rush up and throw her arms around the
neck of the mild-cyed Smith, and i'm
plore him to protect her, and Smith al
ways said he would. Then she would
faint, and Smith would be half glad and
half sorry About six thunder storms
settled the business, and now she is Mrs.
Smith; and Smith-he is only sorry that
her apprehensions were not realized.
He says if there was a woman who
ought to have been torn to pieces by
electricity it is that widow. She has
thunder storms every day now in
Smiths house, and it is lively and yigOr-
Gus for Smith around there ErcHange.

CHEROKEE MORALs.-Edward King.
who has been travelling recently in the
south and west, writes of the Cherokee
Indians in the July number of Serb
ner's N0gdzi,ae "The lndians-C Cher
okees, Choctaws, Chickasaws and Semi
noles-all have strange thirst for in
toXication, and often make the most as
tOnishing efforts to secure liquor. All
kinds of patent medicines which possess
even the slightest basis of liquor, find
ready sale among the various tribes
and eamphor, pain killer, and such stom-
ach annihilating things, were for long
time so much in use among the Chero-
KEGS, that the agents made an examina-
ton, and discovered the braves drinking
whole bottles at one full swoop, in order
to feel some effects therefrom. A bot
tie of whisky is still one of the most
powerful brides that can be placed be-
fore an Indian. The women were all
robust, and not devoid of certain wild
beauty; but they wore prim, shaker
ish costume which defied the rules of
elegance. A poke-bonnet nearly con-
cealed their features, heavy, stiff robe
fell down to the ankles, while a shawl
was decorously draped about the shout
ders. Many of the Indians seemed to
have negro wives, and we saw more
than one stalwart negress receiving cour-
teous attention from tall copper-colored
beaux, whose manners would have done
no discredit to a salon in society. The
men, as a rule, would not respond when
addressed in English, and often turned
sullenly away; while younger members
of the tribes, both boys and girls, would
chat cheerily, and question us as to our
reason for visiting the nation, with
childish curiosity. There were some
superb heads among the Cherokees;
shaded faces, with matchless eyes, with
masses of tangled hair peeping in most
charming confusion from under torn
hats, and faces in which the Indian type
or century agone was still preserved
all the reserve, all the immobility, all
the silent scorn visible in every feature.

The Financial Condition of Yer.
mont. Z


The citizens of Vermont have here
tofore supposed themselves justly en-
titled to exult over the ability of their
financial officers and their success in
paying off expenses-largely in excess
tproportionately of the disbursements
of other States for the payment of troops
in the war of the rebellion-without the
entailment upon future generation OF
a large and onerous public debt.
Judge, therefore, of the surprise with
which the announcement in the Globe
yesterday morning was received, that
the debt of the State of Vermont is ST.
S02, 500 The, following is a statement
prepared from the reports of the Treas
urer of the State and the Auditor of Ac-
counts, as submitted to the General As
sembly at its last session
The amount of funded debt, maturing
December 1, 1874, $109, 900 90
December /, 1876, 1856, 500 90
December 1, 1878, "a, 500 90
January 1, 1890, 135, 500 90
Making the entire debt, 1915, 500. Of
this amount, $135,500 is held by the
Treasurer as custodian for the Agricul-
tural College, and the interest only is
paid annually to that institution. The
Treasurer held, on the 31st day of July,
1872, to the credit of the sinking fund,
specially provided for the redemption of
the funded debt, 1874, 351.02, which
leaves 1896, G49.98, or but a trifle over
one-tenth of the bug-bear of the Globe
to be provided for. ..........
The estimate of the State Treasurer
for expenses of the government for 1873
was $3.50, 700. OF this amount, he had
on hand at the commencement of the
fiscal year, $178, 1914.
A tax of 40 cents on the dollar on the
grand list of 1872 would probably net
something over $445, 900.
The estimated expenses for 1874 in
Guiding the redemption of bonds amount
ing to 800, 900, is $500, 500.
The tax of 35 cents on the dollar, as
Stunning the grand list of 1878 the same
as 1872, is estimated to net 100000.
