HISTORICAL SKETCH.

Middlebury college originated from the
Addison county grammar school which had
been established at Middlebury in 1897.
Four thousand dollars was shortly after
donated by subscription to defray the ex-
pense of erecting a suitable building for its
use. In 1893, while the building was in
progress of construction, Rev. Theodore
Dwight, ID. d., then president of Yale
college, was at Middlebury and encouraged
the people to prosecute the plan of estab-
fishing a college. An application was
made for a college charter, which was
granted November 1, 1900 with the title of
the president and Fellows of Middlebury
| college, The Rev. jeremiah Atwater,
who had been a tutor in Yale college and
was at that time principal of the grammar
school was constituted the president by the
act of incorporation. The institution was
Immediately organized and seven students
admitted. AT the first public commence
ment in 1902 only one of the class gradu-
ated, Aaron Petty, but the students in
creased rapidly and in 1903 the graduating
class numbered tweniy-three. President
Atwater left in 1909, to become the presi-
dent of Dickinson college, and was sue
ceeded by Rev. Henry Davis.

The college has never received any sup
port from the state and has been dependent
entirely upon the tuition fees received, and
the liberality of its friends. Among the
list of its bcnefactors, the names of Samuel
Miller, Arad Hunt, Gamaliel Painter, Jo-
seph Burr, Isaac Warren, Edwin Ham
mond are prominent. Mr.. Painter made
an carly donation of 1000. Gen. Arad
Hunt of Hinsdale, N H., decided to the
college lands in Albany, Orleans county, of
more than 5000 acres, the rents of which
have made an important part of the in
come. Gamallel Painter, esq, an early
friend and patron of the college, at bis
death in 1919, made the college the resid-
uary legatee of his estate, from which was
realized about $4,000. In 1928 Joseph
Burr, the founder Of Burr seminary at
Manchester, left the college about $4,000
to found professorship. In 1884 Dea
Isaac Warren of Charlestown, Mass, lett
5000, and 81 900 in addition to found a
professorship. Several other valuable do
nations have been made for various pur-
poses, beside, several subscriptions have
been raised from time to time for its ben
eft, varying from $4,000 TO 5000.
LIBRARIES AND SOCIETIES.
The college library began with the col
lege in 1900, thousand dollars having
been subscribed for the purchase of books,
and the increase has since been mainly
from donations of books. Its shelves now
contain about 5000 volumes.
The Philomathesian society, for general
improvement of the students, was organ
lied soon after the establishment of the
college, but was not Incorporated until
1922. Its library now numbers about 1890
volumes. The Philadelphia society,
consists entirely of professors of religion,
and its object is the moral and religious
improvement of its members. The asso-
ciated alumni was founded in 1924, having
annual meetings with an address and poem
from some of the graduates of the college.

THE Democrats Of Ohio should bear
constantly in mind that they are fight
ing, not only the ambitious leaders of
Radiealism, but the National banks,
the bond holders and every ring and
monopoly created and fostered by the
administration. They will be fortu-
nate if the treasury itself does not be-
come a liberal contributor to the
bribery fund. Grant is liberal dis
penser Of gratuities at the public ex-
pense, and whilst he is willing to see
his subordinates taxed for contribu-
tions TO the corruption fund he is too
mercenary to contribute Il dollar of
his ill-gotten gains for anything but
the qualification of his own vicious
habits. But if he can make the peo-
pies money subservient to partizan in
terests, he is ready TO connive at and
cover up its fraudulent aud corrupting
mis- application. If the Democrats of
Ohio can overcome such a conbina-
ton of powerful influences they will
have deserved well of their country.

AN exchange contains the following
which is "the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth"
''Let a man fail in his business, what
a wonderful effect it has on his former
friends and creditors. Men who had
taken him by the arm, laughed and
chatted with him by the hour, shrug
up their shoulders and pass him by
with chilling how do you do?"
Every trifie of bill is hunted up and
presented, that would not have seen
daylight for months to come but for
the debtor. A man that has never
failed knows but little of human ma
ture. In prosperity he sails along,
gently waited by favOring smiles of and
kind words from everybody. He prides
himself on his good name and spotless
character, and makes boast that he
has not an enemy in the world. Alas
the change He looks upon the world
in different light when reverses come
upon him. He reads suspicion on
every brow. He hardly knows how to
move, or whether to do this thing or
the other for there arespies about him,
and writ is ready for his back. To
understand what kind Of stuff the world
is made of, ersOn must be unfor-
tunate and stop payment once in his
lifetime. If he has kind friends, then
they are made manifest. A failure is
moral sieve it brings out the wheat
and leaves the chaff. A man thus
learns that words and pretended good
will do not constitute real friendship"

Why isa note Of hand accepted B,

Why is a note Of hand accepted BY |
a creditor from his debtor! Because
he has confidence in the solvency |
aud integrity of the maker OF the
note and full faith that it viii be re-
deemed at maturity, either in gold
or in bank notes redeemable in specie.
In this transaction it is confidence, not
gold. which gives value to the promise
to pay. Greenbacks pass currently
and have done SO for more than fifteen
years, and why? Because the people
have confidence, not in the present adj
ministration. but in the ultimate ability
and honor Of the people who consti-
tute the government, to redeem every
promise to pay made in their name.
At no time since greenbacks were first
issued have they been redeemable In
gold, nor have they at any time been
convertible into anything save into
bonds-aDother form of promise-to-
nay. with this marked difference, that
whilst greenbacks pass free, the paper
into which they are convertible bears
gold interest--the distinction fayorieg
the bondholder at the expense Of the
people. The holder of greenbacksc cal
get gold for them only by paying u
heavy premium whilst the bonds,
through Radical rascality. are made re-
deemable in gold and the interest made
payable In the same. The ssme su-
thority which made this invidious dis
tinction between greenbacks and bonds
between capital and labor--could
have made the currency equivalent to
gold by declaring the former to be re-
ceivable for custom house dues and for
interest On the bonds. Yet potwith-
standing all these determinations
against a rag currency" its small de.
probation, as compared with gold and
silver. is the result of an abiding pop
ular confidence that it can and will be
kept at par by the administration
which is to succeed the corrupt, and
mercenary faction which constitutes
the present de fac,o government, inau-
gurated and sustained by force snd
fraud. Without the confidence that

conduct of public affairs, gold, of it.
self, will prove an unstable basis for
the circulating medium built upon it
and the experience of more than IF
teen years has demonstrated that such
confidence, without the aid of gold, is
the surest basis for sound and cheap
curreney-one that will need no con-
vertibility because no higher standard
of values need be erected. We as
sum- therefore, that it is confidence,
not gold, which gives stability and
uniform value to whatever currency
may be authorized by law.

WHILST we occasionally see in
northern papers expressions of graft
fcation at the improved good feeling
between the races in the South, none
of them seem disposed TO deal with
the fact that the bad feeling that has
existed between them was generated
by the infamous agents of the Radical
party and for the base purpose Of Sc
curing the colOred population as allies
In political contests. Had the south
ern States been promptly rehabilitated,
as by the terms of surrender, the pre-
mature and ruinous measure of con-
.ferring all the privileges of citizenship
upon such mass of ignorance and
depravity would never have been seri-
ously considered. But the browning
glory of A. Us Radicalism-recou-
struction-opened upa political bonan-
"a to the eyes of his party, which panned
out suffrage for the negro, and TO make
that privilege available, to the party
that fraudulently conferred it, it be-
came necessary to send South, Radical
overseers to make the negroes vote
right, and bayonets to keep the whites
from voting at all But, for fear that
all these steps. taken under no other
sanction than that of the most bare
faced usurpatiOn, might not suffice to
consummate the infamous scheme of
subordinating the southern whites to
their former slaves, every scallawag
and carpet bag official was made an en-
misary to disseminate the seeds of dis
cord and strife between whites and
blacks, in order that the latter might,
through suspicion and hate, be entirely
alienated from their only true friends.
Aud whilst this devils work was being
done in the South. the Mortons and
Buffers and Phillips, of the North
were practieing their mischievous
frauds upon the fanatical masses of
New England. And then all the ter
riblc consequences Of such malignant
villainy were unblushingly ascribed to
the latent rebellion of southern gen
tlemen.

A Favorable Omen.

The interest which the politicians Of
Tennessee are manifesting In the mate
rial and industrial interests of the
State Is a significant augury. 1t il an
unerring presage to that prosperity
which will, at no distant day, make its
advent. Col. Jas. L. Bailey. Of Clarks-
vile, is one of the rising men of Ten
nessee., He has talent which would
adorn any position within the gift of
the people. A few days since the peo-
pie of Washington county invited Col.
Bailey to address them on the great in
dustrial interests so necessary to their
materialinterests. Col. Bailey accept
ed the invitation, and will address the
people at Jonesboro on the 9th of
August. In his letter of acceptance
he says: Il heartily concur in the SEN
.tIments expressed in your letter amid
the heats of political controversy we
have too much neglected our social
duties, and too longdeferred combined
effort to establish upon a sure founda-
ton our material interests. Hence
forth let Us endeavor to cultivate more
kindly feelings for each other, and
unite in giving such directions to the
energies of our people as will place
our State on the highway to happiness
and prosperity" Tennessee can be
made the wealthiest section of the
world. The strength of our State lies
in its products, which need developing,
and which can be developed only by
the discussion which the people of
Washington county and Col Bailey
proposes. The whole South, to be
prosperous, must build up her cities
by manufactures she must acquire
some of the characteristic thrift and
business energy Of the North; she
must populate, improve and cultivate
her waste places; open and operate her
mines; in word, develop as rapidly
as possible her unbounded resources.
The South is in position to. reap her
full share of the prosperity and pro-
gress of the country in the future.
The correspondence between the citi-
zens Of Jonesboro and Col. Bailey in
dicates that-a portion of the people of
Tennessee realize their condition as
well as their opportunities. This is a
move in the right direction. We hope
it will result in the inauguration of
that new era, when the people of Ten
nessee will commence building factor
les, engage probably in mining coal
aud iron, in doubling the value of their
lands, and thus secure prosperity and
happiness-Nemphis Appeal, July q
