EDrToR VERMONT FARMER :


EDrToR VERMONT FARMER:
In reply to the above. l wish to say -
Does not the government expect to redeem a
greenback as much as il does a bond, or
have we got a country in which the poor
man owns a greenback and the rich man
owns a bond, and it is Of more Importance to
see that the rich man is paid than il is the
poor2 Is there not as much wheat in the
granary for a greenback as there is for a
bond 2 The government is holden for both.
Why do you not pay the bonds that are in
the treasury of the United States for the
security Of national bank bills, and not let
them have two per-cents aud not pay the
taxes of our country. Greenbacks would
take the place Of our national bank bills, aud
It would make no initiation. The reason is
that we should bring the rich on the basis Of
the constitution that our fore.fathers fought
for-"equal rights" Why not? Will some
one answer. EQUAL RIGHrs.

Great Failure in New York.

The mercantile world was startled Tues
day, by the announcement that Duncan
Sherman & Co., the great New York bank
ing house, had suspended, the surprise being
ali the greater that there had been no sus-
pension Of it's weakness. Their credit was
perfectly good up to the hour Of suspension /;
IL is stated that, only IA day or two ago, the
firm was offered 81, 900 900 for four months
at 4 per cent on its own paper, while their
bills on London sold, Monday, within per
cent Of the very best on the market.
The liabilities Of the house are estimated
between IS, ZOO, 900 and S6,000,000, scat.
tered throughout the United States aud Eu-
rope, and the assets fall far below these 6g-
ures. A multiplicity Of causes has contrib
uted to bring about the failure, some of which
have been operating for years. The firm has
lost heavily through extensive operations in
cotton, and has invested a good deal Of
money in unfortunate railway enterprises /;
it has also suffered from bed debts Of agents
and others through the past two years. The
immediate cause Of suspension is said to be
large advances on cotton made from time to
time, and the fact that on Monday, Barring
Brothers of London, ascertaining that the
firm were embarrassed, refused to receive
their bills. About three-dfths of the debts
Of the firm are held abroad, half of the FIVE
millions already reported being on the Union
bank of London and the bank of the state o.
New York, both Of which are said to be fully
protected. The house has always done a
large business in letters of credit unless
these are protected, many Americans in Eu'
rope will be embarrassed. As to the assets
it is feared that a large part of them will b,
found to consist Of southern securities, a
we'll as railroads which have a doubtful valu,
in the market. The house formerly had
very large domestic business, but this hai
been considerably reduced during the pas
year,

Letter from sherbrOOke, P, Q.

Seeing your little notice of this town in the
last FARMER, and another still smaller one in
the CaledOnian, 1 propose to say something
more about the place.
SherbrOOke is an incorporated town-not
village-and is independent of any other
town, which would not be the case if incor.
p~OrAted as a village. 1t is a village prob
ably not as large as st. JOhnsbury, but grow.
ing more rapidly. 1t is the chief town Of
the district of st. Francis, and the jail and
district court are located here. Manufac-
lures are very lively. The Patsu mAnufac'
turing company keep some 400 hands EN-
ployed on wooden goods; the f~Oundries, ma
chine shops, carriage shops, &c, are too

Telegraphing by Word Of Mouth.

We r~ecollect one instance 10 our army ex-
p%erience when a very serious case of mud
died repetition occurred in which no type.set-
ter was concerned. In the march of the
army of the Potomac up the Peninsula, the
first rebel e1campment captured was at Har.
woods Mills, which the enemy abandoned
and fell back TO their entertainments in front
of Petersburgh. This camp was but a picket
line, along which winter quarters had been
built, and which proved very handy for our
tired troops to occupy for a day or two, then
burn and advance on the march that McOlel-
Ian said would soon drive the enemy to the
wall.
Here for the first time was tried the sys
TEN of passing messages along the picket line
"by word Of mouth" Gen. Hancock's head
quarters were that evening the headquarters
of the left wing Of the army. Two belated
teams, that had been out foraging for coarse
fodder for rebel animals had not heard OF
the evacuation by their troops aud in the eve.
ming drove inside our lines with Wagons well
laden with cornstalks. They were captured
by the videttes, taken to the nearest reserve,
aud an orderly dispatched to inform the com.
handing general. Soon after his arrival
there, the order was started along the picket
line "Send the two teamsters to Gen. Han
cocks headquarters under guard" Along
the Vermont line the message passed with
tolerable correctness. Then it went the
length of the Irish brigade, "Send them two
sisters to Gen. Hancock, the head CENTER p
Then it traversed the 10Th New York's Ger.

Newspaper Editor Wanted.

About four years ago the King Of Burmah
wished to start a weekly newspaper, in the
vernacular and in English, and forthwith
consulted an eminent British official then in
Burmah about the matter. His Majesty
said there need be no trouble about minor
details he would see to them himself; what
he wanted was a competent English editor,
with Anglo-lndian experience of journalism
to whom a thousand rupees a month would
be paid. His Majesty added that he would
only make one SUPPLEMENTARY, that the
editor should pledge himself to follow with
constant approval the line Of policy adopted
by the court that nothing displeasing to his
Majesty should ever appear in the journal,
and that in case of these rules being infringed
the editor should beforehand sanction his liza.

The new president of Middlebury college
has a level head on the college regatta ques-
ton. In his inaugural address, last week,
he said
Physically trained and cultured in the
gymnasia of these Vermont farms, it will
not be needful for these students to spend
most of their college time and their fathers
money in this wretched business of boating.
l know not how others may feel, but l turn
from the late spectacle of the equivalent of
a pagan tournament at Saratoga, as positive
ly revolving. Let it be a source Of exulta-
ton to us that we draw our students to such
an extent fresh from the gymnastic drill Of
the farm and the shop that no such unschol-
arly and demoralizing necessity as this mode
Of physical culture shall ever be laid upon
ug.

1t has been decided by an Indiana court
that a written contract Of marriage, signed
by the parties, is valid in law. A couple,
j. r. Buell., of indianapolis, Ind, and a
Miss Gilbert, o short time ago signed such a
contract, with the added stipulation that il
ever they ceased to love each other the con-
tract should cease, and have since been liv-
ing together. Somebody who thought they
were not lawfully married, had them prose.
cuted, and the court decides that the con-
tract constituted a legal marriage, but that
the p%roviso about terminating the relation
when they cease to love is void, and SO they
are married "till death doth them part" un-
less they get a divorce, which is easy enough
in that land of the free.

So common has the practice of pilfering
from express packages by messengers become
that persons doing business With express
companies begin to believe that it is ooun.
tenanced by the managers themselves. And
there seems no redress. If complaint is
made to headquarters, the messenger finds
it out aud thereafter the goods Of the mer-
chant who complains are delayed in every
conceivable way or put off By mistake at
the wrong station or carried by and re-
turned on the next train, 20. The only way

Notwithstanding the fact that American
marksmen have just won the championship
in competition with both English aud Irish
on their own soil, we are, as a people, prob
ably the most poorly drilled nation on the
face of the earth. Barring the education
and practice incident to the late war, and
the armies which are left over therefrom but
growing less every year, there is very little
practice with powder and ball among our
people this side of the western wilds. Just
across the border in Canada we find private
rifle associations in almost every village, and
an organized militia, who have their regu-
lar days of training, in all parts of the Do
minion. In some countries Of Europe we
find every man is a trained soldier by the
time he attains his majority, and in all much
moro attention is paid than here to shooting
practice. But we believe it is just as well
instead ofaccidents occurring at rife matches,
we take it out in little boys handling pistols,
or big ones getting battered with a murder
GUS base ball and after this there is a con.
siderable amount Of the time and money
saved which goes to the invention and manu-
facture of the various Yankee c~ontrivances
which adorn the patent Office. Yes; we
repeat, though we are not quite so we'll
drilled in the art of war, it is just as well
We may not be called upon to fight again in
this generation, and if so, practice would
now be but a waste and then, every Yankee
knows he doesn't noedrany training, anyway
to whip half a dozen of any other national.

Journalism is business, and is governed
by the rules Of business. The shrewdest and
most far-seeing man succeeds in it the best.
He who narrows his work, as a journalist,
down to the promotion of the interests of an
individual or a party, prostitutes the power
he might have welded, and cripples himself.
The newspaper should be for the great public,
and should stand on so high a plane as to be
above mere partisanship. If a man or a
measure meet with the approval of the jour
nalist he should say SO, but he should never
hesitate to condemn wrong doing and to pro-
test against what he believes 10 be a mis-
taken policy, without regard to what popular
man or party may be committed to said
policy. True Journalism is above partisan
ship.

THE secret Of happiness consists in practicailv
adopting the philosophical theory Of always making
the best Of everything. VERMONT FARMER, June i'll
THE ECRET OF HAPPINESS.
RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED TO ruE DEPRESSED IN SPIRIT,
ny 3. n. ROCKWELL.
The secret Of true happiness,
From which our needinl pleasures spring,
Consists in acts Of charity,
Which make the best OF everything"
The source Of earthly happiness,
which pro1eTs peace - every man,
Directs, To take things as they come"
And thus pursue a quiet plan.
No matter what seems TO annoy,
Let all things come and go with ease,
Find not a single word Of fault,
Then each event will duly please.
To each and all DO reconciled
"FOr everything shall work for good
To those who trust in Christ, the Lord -
A source Of bliss we'll understood.
To set the heart on doubtful points,
Which can by no means come 10 pass,
Is not q source OF happiness,
But one Of pain and grief alas!
The woll.spring Of true happiness
Creates q stream that never fails,
il "mnkes the best OF everything
From FIRST to last, in hfes details.
Avoid all feuds and angry broils,
And every neighbor iove and bless.
And thou shalt find true happiness
