"DEPENDENT."

We took occasion, Thursday morning,
we believe it was-to express our opin-
ion of independent journalism, to
state briefly the sourse of this class of
papers, and, in the same brief manner,
to show why a man or newspaper could
not be independent, while, at the same
time, it was their duty to be impartial.
This gives Vermont independent Jour
nalism an opportunity to be extremely
witty, sharp and sarcastic-we suppose
that is what the editor of the sheet afore-
said would call it. 1t was, in fact, bril-
liant. Wit and ''knock down argument"
were, in his estimation, we should judge,
combined in about an equal degree. His
graceful and witty retort is that we are
a dependent" editor We "accept the
situation" We are dependent. The
paper aforesaid is Observation-Disclosures
destitute-of everything we are ode
pendent" on. We profess to be impair
tial, so far as human nature can be i'm
partial, and to edit newspaper. Now,
in order to accomplish this, we must
make timely, impartial comments on the
news of the day, as we'll as give the
news itself. We are dependent-no not
Independent as they are-upon brains,
knowledge of men and affairs, acquired
by long and patient study, able and
competent assistants, the energy, bust
ness enterprise and capital of the pub
Usher, well informed and trusty cores
pondents and reporters, the latest news,
and divers other matters and things
which will readily suggest themselves.
In addition, we are dependent upon the
power of forming an opinion, regardless
of the opinions of others, and the man
illness to express them, when so formed,
without waiting to see what some other
newspaper says or what is the current
of public opinion. We are dependent, 5"
but we will confess that they are indie
pendent. One word more, and we are
through. We quote 0es'6attna, and the
extract is either ''independent journal
ism, an impeachment of our veraclty,
or an exhibition of an amazing want of
wisdom and good sense, which perhaps
is the same as independent journalism.
He says if we have read the testimony,
there is nothing in his paper, that is
THE HERALD-'to show the fact. The
official evidence has been published in
full" OF course it has, and we can
read. We don't intend, however, to
publish, as nea0s everything we have read
1t would be rather an expensive under
taking We presume that the "independ-
ent journalism" editors publish as news,
or perhaps as editorials, all that they
have read.

The Late John StUatt MILL

Mr.. Mil was bSrn In 1905 in London.
and his early education was con5urtej
slilc.ly under his fathers eye. In 1923,
Mnen only seventeen years of age, he
received an appointment at the India
Rouse, as clerk, in various grades of
which capacity he served for thfrty-three
years, when he was appointed examiner
OF lndlan correspondence, a position
formerly held by his father. In 1853,
Mr.. Mill was offered a seat in Her Mai
esty's Indian Council, which offer he
declined, preferring to devote himself
to the labors of literary life.
lie was vOluminous writer upon a
large variety of topics, having very pos
tive ideas upon every subject that he
attempted to handle, and expressing
them in a chaste, forcible style. He
published several works the most import
ant of which are those on political econ
omy, and, in metaphysics, the ''Examins-
ton OF Sir William HamiltOn's Philoso-
ply" and "Comte and Posltivism."
In 1854 Mr.. Mill was elected 10 Par
Lament from Westminster, He failed
OF reelection, and, withdrawing from
public affairs, devoted himself wholly 10
his pen, which seemed 10 increase il
power as he advanced in age. His latest
work, 'The Subsection of Woman, has
been more widely read on this side Of
the water than any ether of his produc-
tians.
During the war of the rebellion he vas
an active and earnest friend 81 the
Union, and advocated with tongue and
pen the side so unpopular with the ma
Jority OF EnglishmeR. In his death the
cause OF humanity and progress sufferss
loss not easily repaired.

boy, without a dollar in his pocket,
learned to make shovels at the forge,
worked on and persevered until he fin
ally succeeded in building up one of the
largest manufacturing interests of the
country, achieved a national reputation
and amassed an immense fortune, all by
his own honest endeavors Ia one of
the earlier dispatches announcing his
sickness and approaching death, it was
stated that ''the people in and about
North Easton have none but good words
to speak for their benefactor, and the
town itself is house of mourning. 1t
was natural that it should be so, for he
was the friend of everyone, and had aid
ed every private and public interest of
his townsmen, to an extent surprising,
in amount, the entire private fortune of
many man who is esteemed by himself
and neighbors as wealthy. Another dis
patch of day or two before his death,
says, that he was always ''ready to help
anybody whom he thought was trying
to help himself" Here we are content
to leave him.

JOURNALIST. -

We are gratified, almost beyond ex-
preston, that our "independent journal
ism" friend has, at last, conceded the
fact that his cOnf'ere-''that means us"
has carried out, practically" our
Gown ideas on the, Subject of Journalism. "
This may be intended, as ARENAS Ward
used to say, to be ''sarkastical," but it is
truth nevertheless. Our Gown ideas on
the subject, as expressed in the article
referred to, were that ''independent
journalism" was misnomer; that the
press should be impartial and, in addition
to impartial and timely comments on the
news of the day, should furnish the
news; in fact that newspapers should
be published with impartial editorials or
comments on the more important items
of news, as well as give the news fresh
and at once. 1t may be all very well to
talk of ''ponderous learning" ''acute
criticism" and "sparkling''wit, but when
an editor commences this kind of sarcas-
tical reference, coupled aoith no argument,
we may conclude that he is at the end
of his rope, and is compelled to resort
to ridicule to parry the effect of reason
and common sense. We make no pro-
fession to learning or wit, and do not
pretend to be critic. We do, however,
profess to have common sense +; some
knowledge of the history of journalism
in general and Independent journalism
in particular to have been endowed by
our Creator with some brains-it NAV
be, perhaps, with but small modicum
thereof; to have an opinion of our
own, and the courage to express it; and
to write grammatical sentence, and so
express our ideas that readers of ordinary
intelligence can understand what we say,
and the idea we intend to convey. We
will not say the conductors of ''inde- |
pendent journalism" in this part of Yer
mont are capable of understanding what |
we write, for we should infer from some |
of their so-called editorials that they
were not possessed of ordinary intelli- |
gence. If they are possessed of ordinary
they grossly misrepresent-
if not deliberately falsify-the arguments
and remarks, as well as the sworn testi-
mOny, of others. We have so much
faith in human nature that we prefer to
believe the former rather than the latter.
There is another point in which the
independent journalism" editor differs
from US. We can see no difference be-
tween gross exaggeration or coloring,
Or vanishing" if you please, of facts,
iesignedly intended to convey false
impression, misrepresent and injure 9th
srs, and deceive the public, and false
hood. There may be, in the school of
pretended philosophers,
such distinction made-but it is a dis
.inction without difference. Religion,
morality and the law make
40 such distinction, neither does the
common sense and conscience of the
people. The only distinction ever dis
covered between the two was made by
Vermont independent journalism. To
hem belongs the credit, to them let

should have the earnest sympathy of the
parent in all his efforts to crafty curios-
ity and gain knowledge, in all his sports
and games. The parent should give at
tention when delighted the child holds
up his new found treasure he should
smile upon his expressed enthusiasm,
and encourage his search for truth.
Kind looks and gentle words have a
magic power over childhood under such
circumstances.
Among the first practical lessons to be
impaired in the examination of the OBJ
iects which occupy the attention of the
child are the names, parts, qualities and
uses of these objects. For illustration,
take the object dinner bell, with
which every child is familiar What
are it's parts ? 1t has a handle,
tongue and chain. What are
its qualities 1t is hard, smooth and
sonorous. What are its acts? 1t rings,
strikes and sounds. What are its uses
1t calls to dinner. a sheet Of paper is
another object It's parts. 1t has ends.
edge, surface and lines. Its qualities
1t is smooth, timber and pliable.
Its uses To write and print up
on, and make books. Next we
may call attention to the idea of
number, form, size, color and weight.
For EXAMPLE, take the object cat. The
number, one, its size, large; it has
the form of quadruped is of black
color, and weighs ten pounds. Its quail
tiles ? 1t is is hairy, smooth, playful,
cunning Its uses? Good to catch
mice. Again, let boy be object. Mum
Der? Many. Form Like man. Size ?
Small. Color? White. Weight? Thirty
pounds.
The ideas of size, measurement and
weight are determined by comparison
with unit of measure, and accuracy in
measuring with the eye is acquired only
by practice. Then, give the child a
measure, and teach him its use drill
him, at every opportunity, to judge of
the bulk and distance of objects around
him. the size and weight of a stone the
length, breadth and height of the table,
the box, or the rooms itself. Accustom
him to distinguish the colors of the diff
ferent objects that meet his eye, and the
various sounds that greet his ear; and
he will gain much practical knowledge,
and also acquire the habit of close OBJ
servation and accurate judgment. By
such home training, children are pre-
pared for the future prosecution of their
studies, or the duties of business life.

Discipline --- Mental Culture.
NO. XVI.

"'Tis education forms the common mind,
Just as the twig is bent, the trees in
! clined.r
Those parents make grave mis-
take who commit the mental train
| ing of their children entirely to the
public school. 1t should begin early
at home, and under the most careful
supervision. AS soon as the child opens
his eyes, and puts forth his little hands !;
as soon as his senses come in CON
| tact with the material world. the mind
begins to drink in knowledge, and eX-
pand by means of its own activity. The
foundations OF the mans education are
laid mainly in the home of his childhood,
and before he has reached the proper
school age. Faithful, early home train
ing is, therefore, of the utmost import
ance.
''Just as the twig is bent, the trees in
clined."
Neglect, or improper instruction now
may result in waste and failure, in ripper
years. The ''twig" must be properly
"bent, that the tree may be developed
in symmetrical and stately proportions
The tree grows by its own vitality,
but the shape and direction of its trunk
and limbs depend upon its trimming and
training. So, also, in education Self
culture is the only means of sound men
tai development, but this must be in
spired, directed and controlled, during
childhood, by parental fidelity and wis
dom.
And first of all, and mainly, home
training should consist in the discipline
of the observing faculties. Books are
to be little used at this period, except so
far as they may aid in directing attention
to the real objects by which the the child
is surrounded, and.in explaining their
qualities and uses. The mind of the
child opens upon a world of objects and
the educators of childhood must impart
mainly object lessons.
A thirst for knowledge is inherent in
every human mind. and is early mani
tested. The infant observes and |
soon learns to distinguish its own friends
and benefactors from strangers. Ii
watches, with intense interest, every
motion that comes within range of its
vision; it grasps every solid object
which is placed within its reach-the
watch, the pencil, the knife, the toy,
and bears it to its mouth, seemingly to
make more sure the knowledge of its
peculiar properties, by the aid of two
senses 1t once; and as soon as this in
FAINT has gained the power of locomo-
ton, he goes in search of objects to the
extreme limits of las little dominion.
When the power of speech is gained, he
hastens to call everything by its proper
name. and to ask endless questions as
to its nature and utility
Here, then. is the parents opportu-
nifty to commence the important work
IF education. First, it is the in
structor's duty to remove from
reach and sight all objects which
,he child may not handle; secondly,
70 select such toys for his use as are
proper and the most interesting; and
1nally to be ready to answer all inquir-
es and impart such instruction as each
subject will admit. Another important

Many of your readers, sold settlers"
at III. were delighted to hear, from your
correspondent, Ziba Gatlin. The "old-
est inhabitant scratched his head and
''didnt know" but did finally recollect
Ziba.
-''Bige Mickerson," the only survi-
or of the old ones, says a list of the &C.
centric notables and wits, moral, pOliti-
cal and social, of those years and the
twenty years subsequent were deficient
without the mention of Ben Winbald, )"
the eccentric, visionary, whistling SOM
nambulist, merchants clerk, law stu
dent, accountant, professor of horse
manship, and finally Snowman. Ben,
the Snowman left town, like his great
predecessor, Artemus Ward, leaving his
native Baldwinville, but unlike Artemas,
who always advertised his whereabouts,
Ben so covered up his tracks, that even
his old chums never heard from him in
any reliable way to this day. Artemus
used to manufacture serenades and re-
ceptiOns in his own behalf, but this
dodge Ben would not stoop to, and yet
ruin0r says he has been known, in youth,
to serenade others, and even ''rotten
egg" those who had made themselves
obnoxious to the ring" of which Ben
was member or leader. There was
some rumor connecting Ben with the
supposed skeleton of the murdered ped
dler found at the ''dug way" when ex-
cavating for the Fort road, and also the
Wondering remains of goods found in
a trunk, on an almost inaccessible ledge
of rocks near Mount Hope, but candor
compels me to admit that it ended in
gossip only. But what reason Ben had
to conceal his whereabouts, is still To-
cal mystery. Runner says he was once
seen at Whitehall, dressed in tall hat
and ministerial black, hair white as the
SHOWS of winter, and face wrinkled like
parchment, but straight and towering as
an Indian. Does Ziba Catlin know
Ben?
