AN APPEAL TO THE PATRONS.

Editor Vermont Farmer IL have re-
ceived telegram from Bro. H. W. Il, Lew
is, Master of Louisiana State Grange, stating
that many Patrons were homeless and PEN
niless, and requesting me to make their ne
cessities known. The members of the Or
der in this state are requested to forward
contributions to Bro. Lewis, at New Orleans.
Their necessities are great. Send post Office
orders, or bank checks in such sums as your
generosity may dictate. Il. z. COTTON,
Master Of VT. State Grange.
Iras6ttrgh, May 4. -
We trust the grangers in the state will
respond literally to this call from their suf-
fering brethren. Over thirty millions Of
acres in Louisiana are under water, stock
has been drowned in large quantities, and il
will be utterly impossible to raise crops on
a large share of the land covered by the
floods The suffering is very great, both
for want of food aud clothing, and while va
rious other societies, boards of trade, &C.
are contributing largely to the relief Of the
sufferers, the order Of Patrons, we are con
6dent, will not he found remiss in theil
duty to their fellow grangers in distress

LETTERS FROM The PEOPLE.

Editor of The Vermont Farmer:
Seeing in your last the article Of Justice
about damages on highways suggested to me
the idea of using the same medium to speak
of the manner in which the poor of many
Of our towns are treated
would like to ask Which is the true
object Of our poor laws, to get along with
paupers at as little expense to the town as
possible, or to afford decent, comfortable
home for those who through reverses Of for
tune. old age, or for other reasons, are un-
able to support themselves?
la some towns we see the poor very in
differently supplied with comforts, while
they have no means Of redress. Would il
not be well for people who claim to be
Christians to even pay little higher taxes
in order that the suffering may be relieved
and furnished with some Of the comforts as
well as the bare necessities Of life 2 We
have seen the town paupers Of town
knocked of at auction TO the lowest bidder
without regard to the character of the mar
who bid them off for humanity and kindness
Of heart, he taking them as speculation
out Of which to make what he could, which
reminds one very forcibly of the auction
sales Of slaves which used to be common al
the South. What wonder that people shrink
from asking aid Of the town when they are
suffering from poverty, and even sometimes
die Of starvation rather than go to the poor
house In the name of Christianity and Of
humanity let us have reform in the treat
ment Of our paupers now, in this "ago o
reform" OBSERVER

Lovers of Swill.

The Rockland Gazette gives the following
description Of capital cartoon drawn by a
local artist;
1t bears the title samuel feeding his hogs"
and has representation of the national
capitol in the back ground, while in the fore
ground is 'Uucle Samuel" with basket on
his arm stuffed with greenbacks which he is
feeding out to drove of hungry hogs
crowding around him. On the right are u
group oil fat and misunderstanding porkers,
representing tho New England States, New
York. etc, who are not rushing for the swill.
New York is so fat he cant stand up, while
Maine sits on his launches regarding Uncle
Sam with questionable expression. But
the Southern aud Western swine are as lean
as iamished ours and as eager to be fed
while Uncle Sam is remarking, AS he deals out
greenbacks, "coniound these Southern and
Western breeds they're always squealing
and always poor and what's more they
won't cat anything but swill !"

Cremation.


The move for the burning instead of burial
of the dead is extensive, and nearly all the
papers in the country ara discussing the pros
aud cons of the question. The argument
that IN maRy eases whore there are eeme-
terius near large cities water is liable to he
used which has become tainted by iiltnring
through graves. and that noxious gases are
likely to he emilted from cemeteries, espe-
claly in light soils. wins many converts TO
tho new faith. Cremation societies have
been formed in many places in America and
in Europe, aud we should not be surprised If
in course of time cremation became the
rule instead Of the exception, though much
superstition will have To be overcome before
people will cease to regard IL rs AN innova-
tiOn against sacred rite. The Nep YORK.
Times thus presents one argument against
cremation;
In MI this oral and written olOquence, one
most important objection to the new plan oil
disposing of the dead has received much less
attention than il deserves. People who
think upon the matter instead of talking
and writing about it, forsee the terrible nd
vantage and protection that the general es-
Establishment of cremation would inevitably
give 10 the poisoner. In nine cases out o.
ten, the crime Of poisoning is detected by y
chemical analysis Of the contents Of the stom

EXCESS OF LABoRERS IN THE
CITIES.

During the past few weeks "the sewing
girls Of Boston" have been brought before
the public by several communications which
have appeared in the Springfield Repat6li-
can. Various other papers have republish.
ed the letters on both sides Of the question.
One writer suggests that these girls, who
exc out miserable existence by long days
of disease-inviting labor, might find profit
able employment and good homes if they
would go to doing homework, while another
claims that there is no demand for unskilled
female labor in the household and that there
is no opportunity for them to acquire the ex-
perience necessary to obtain employment
That there are multitudes 10 the cities. Of
both sexes, who are unable TO find sufficient
remunerative employment to furnish what
are generally considered the necessaries Of
life, to say nothing of its comforts, is beyond
a doubt. No one who has not seen it can
realize the depth of poverty and suffering
to which hosts Of men and women are
driven in the cities aud large villages, while
thousands of farms all over the country show
the want Of more labor, and thousands OF
housewives are struggling under burdens
which they would be only too glad to pay
these girls good wages to help them bear.
1t is astonishing TO see the pcrtinacity
with which people cling 10 the cities and
suffer for want Of work, while there is room
for all on the farm, but 30 it is. Immigra-
ton societies go to Europe after agricultural
laborers, and the Immigrants find plenty Of
work and fair pay awaiting them out in the
broad, free country, while thousands of our
own countrymen-and women, too-starve
and die or as the only alternative seek ruin
and dishonor, simply for want of something
to do"
Could measures be taken which would
draw these girls into the country to the re
lief of the wives and mothers who need help,
land vino does not know that it is next to
impossible to find girl to help in the
house day even in cases of sickness p all
parties would be benefited.
