Military Encnmpmcni.

The First Regiment, National Guard of
Vermont, Col. Theodore Peck, will go into
camp on the 3D. and 4th of July, at Bur-
lington at Camp Ethan Allen, which is to
be located on fine and spacious lot over
looking the lake, and owned by the Cen
trail Vermont Railroad. The grounds en-
brace about fourteen acres, and will make
an admirable camp for our citizen soldiers.
The regiment will also take part in the
parade attending the ceremonies connected
with the unwilling of the Ethan Allen
statue, and will have in charge the celc-
brated Bennington guns captured by Gen.
Stark on the 10Th of August, l777, which
will have place in the procession.

The master bridge-builder of the Yer
mont Central Railway thinks he has made
the quickest time on record.
The trestle, 430 feet long, on which the
regular trains now cross the Winooski near
Waterbury, where the railroad bridge was
recently destroyed by fire, was built under
the superintendent of Chas, IL. Clark, mas
ter bridge-builder of the Central Vermont
Railroad, in twenty mine working hours.
When it is taken into consideration that
nearly all of the timber had to be hauled
from Canada, and that three-fourths of
it was growing at the time of the fire, 1t is
thought to be the quickest time on record
tor the length of bridge.

money belong to after 1t Is collected2 To
the village, does 1t not? II appoints trust
ees, who are Its agents for the management
of its business. Upon general law prin-
ciples, independently of any ordinance,
when an agent exceeds his authority he
binds nobody but himself. This Is prin-
ciplc so common and well settled that even
"a Layman" comprehends its irresistible
potency at once. Now these agents when
they had spent the money placed in their
hands for highway improvements, com
menccd giving orders. which, If paid out
of this years highway tax, would leave the
present board of trustees about thousand
dollars only Cat rough gucss) for the high
ways. But they have no authority to pay
those orders out of that fund. They have
only authority to spend the money on high
ways, which was raised for that purpose by
the tax of 1878. Unless the village as
sumes the payment of these orders they
will stand in tue same condition as a check
drawn on a bank by a man who has no
funds therein. The check will simply con-
stitutc au evidence of Indebtedness In favor
of the payec of the check against the
drawer.
When the last board Of trustees took the
Office they, in effect, promised to reimburse
to tho village any amounts II might take up
of such over-drafts, for they took the Office
with that provision looking them in the
face, that the village would hold them
jointly and severally liable for all such
ovcr-drafts. So that il is mmatcria in
what aspect you view the highway tax,
the personal liability of the trustees il
equally clear. The bubble ON voting n
tax is of no force for, although the village
did not rotc the highway tax, it wi~d il,
and the language of the ordinance therefore
applies with equal force TO the highway
tax.
The Herdd says the trustees of 1912
did not spend all the highway tax that
present board and the last only spent the
two years tax.
The board of 1912 did not spend all the
highway tax that year because there had
been SO much work done in previous years,
that 1t was not all needed. II is rather a
new doctrine, that they should he charged
with illegality for not spending enough or
that the trustees of 1872 had right to use
the tax of 1871 under an authority which
only extended to using the tax of 1879.
The village might feel more like being
lcnient and self-sacrificing if the SUPPOSE
titious case put by the Heuh were any
thing else than the purely supposititious
case supposed Suppose says the Herald,
there had been road made, and imme-
diately there had come freshet and ruined
the work, could not the trustees anticipate
the proper time for making such an i'm
provement Certainly, and there would
have been in such case no objection.
The difficulty is that the late board cannot
lay finger on street and say that 1t was
in condition imperatively demanding all
the money ii received.

representative Of Commodore Vanderbilt in
all great mOneycd interests. This gave him
great power and brought him prominently

Edward king Among the Indians.

The Indians herokees, Choctaws,
Chickasaws and SeminOles-all have a
strange thirst for intoxicaton, and often
make the most astonishing 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 camphor, pain-killer, and such
stomach-annihilating things, We're for a long
time so much in use among the Cherolees,
that the agents made an examination, and
discovered the braves drinking whole bottles
at one fell swoop in order to feel some eff
feet thcrefrom. A bottle of whiskcy is still
one of the most powerful brides that can
be placed before an Indian. The women
were all robust, and not devoid of certain
wild beauty; but they wore prim, shak-
erish costume which defied the rules of
elegance. a poke-bonnet nearly con-
cealed their features, and heavy,
stiff robe fell down to the ankles, while a
shawl was decorously draped about the
shoulders. Many of the Indians seemed to
have ncg.o wives, and we saw more than
one stalwart negress receive courteous at
tention from tall, copper-colored beaux,
whose manners would have done no dis
credit to salon in society. The men, as
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
checrily. and question us as to our reason
for visiting the nation, with childish curl
osty. There were some superb heads
among these Chcrokees shaded faces, with
matchloss eyes, with masses of tangled
hair peeping in most charming confusion
from under torn hats, and faces in which
the Indian type of century agone was
still preserved-all the reserue--all the i'm
mobillty-all the silent scorn visible In
every feature. July Scribner

The cholera continues to make its pro-
grcss northward In Nashville, Tenn, the
epidemic has now attained more serious
proportions than in Memphis, where it ap-
peared earlier. Within the last two days
cholera has appeared at Cincinnati. A
satisfactory thing in regard to its presence
in all these cities is the entire absence of
anything like panic among the citizens, for
of all predisposing causes to cholera, fear
Is the chief. The ravages of the disease
have not, indeed, been sufficiently serious
as yet to justify panic, while they GER
tainly do bear warning that should be
needed by all our cities and towns. Let
us clean up and clean out, so that when
the cholera, that most thoroughgoing Of
sanitary inspectors, makes his rounds
among us, our streets and cellars may be
able to give good account of themselves.
For the cholera Is not like the long-suffer-
ing public, he takes no excuses from street
commissioners for work unperformcd.

CeroDro-spinai Meningitis Among
the Horses

The horses of Brooklyn and New York
arc just now suffering from cerebro-spinal
meningitis. a malady much more surely
and speedily fatal than the epizootc under
which poor Dobbin languished last fall,
though il is by 10 means as widespread.
The inception of the disease is induced by
an inflammation of the spinal cord i'll the
lumbar region, whence it gradually adj
vances to the brain, producing commissions,
delrium and death. Many horses of the
Coney Island and Brooklyn railway have
succumbed TO it, dying in less than "a
hours after the attack, and some of the
milimen's horses have been struck
down while on their trips. The same dis
ease appeared in lSil and in 1856, but has
never been generally prevalent save in
those years. 1t is epizOotic but not con-
tagious, as of two horses standing in ada
cent stalls, the one has been taken and the
other left in several instances. The most
serupulOus cleanliness and thorough ventila-
ton furnish no security from its attacks,
some OF the hest ordered stables in the two
cities having become infected, and at latest
reports il was spreading eastward on Long
Island. The veterinary surgeons attribute
its appearance to atmospheric causes
damp, foggy nights, followed by sultry
days, but there hasn't been dampness
enough in the New England atmosphere,
this season, to foster the seeds of disease or
anything else. 1t is not probable that it
will attain anything like the prevalence Of
its predecessor.

What the Herald knows about law would
make small preface to book what it
knows about pretentious assumption would
make very large volume. No matter
whether an opponent states fact or error,
law or the reverse, it has one stereotyped
set form of phrases, as pat as a parrot, and
dubs the expression ''preposterons, "blun-
der" etc.
Last Saturday night at the village meet
ing Mr.. N. p. Simons laid down in an ex-
cellent speech, the plain principle that the
village trustees, having exceeded their au-
thority in spending money are personally
responsible for the excess.
On Tuesday the Herald undertook to
show the prepOsterousness of this PROPOSE
ton, and stated what it presumed to be
the cream of the cream Of wisdom, when
II commended that the trustees of 1879
had the right to apply in that year all the
money raised by the highway tax, and to
draw out from the hands of their success
sors more than thrce-fourths of the tax of
1873 for the same purpose. This absurdity
is based on the general highway tax law,
which allows over-work of one year to be
credited on the next. Such provision,
applicable appropriately enough to country
roads, is grossly perverted when attempted
10 be stretched over village. II board
of trustees may anticipate part of the funds
of the next board of trustees it may antici-
pate all, and thus violently assume duties
and appropriate funds belonging to ano-
ther board.
The editor quotes the following ordi-
nance, with the correct remark that the
argument for the illegality of the expen-
diture is based on it. San ordinance re-
lating to the expenditure of the village
money. The trustees shall, in no year, ex-
pend greater sum of money for improve
mcnts in said village or otherwise, than is
raised by a tax, or otherwise legally voted
by said village in such year, including all
moneys received by such village for high
way taxes, fines and licenses. All trustees
violating this ordinance, by expressly as.
senting to such expenditures, shall be
jointly and severally liable to said village,
in an action of assumpsit for money had
and received, for all excess of expenditures
made by them, over and above such sum
of money as is raised as aforesaid"
The editor argues that nothing is said in
this "as to how or where the money shall
be expended" What bearing has that on
the subject, except to make 1t worse for
the trustees3 They spent $4,000 over the
taxes raised and voted, for Improve
ments," and that is what the difficulty is
about, and that is where the language of
the statute precisely applies.
The editor irrelevantly says that the
village pays tax of rs per cent. whether
1t wants to or not, by virtue of general
Jaw. Well, what Of it9 Who does the
