The Fourth Of July.

Before another issue Of this paper lnde-
pendence Day will have como and gone.
Now the centennial Fourth ought not to be
passed without the loudest, happiest and
most patriotic demonstration known to the
memory of any living man. That day above
all others ought to be signalized by noise
and outburst of emotion that shall render it
memorable for years to come. Let every
one thaw out from his accustomed icness OF
demeanor, lay off his usual mathematical
formula of speech and act and plunge into
the festivities of the day with a total aban-
don and self forgetfulnoss. But not with
drinks. The spirit Of the hour and Of the
event, the historic and patriotic impulse
should be stimulus enough. BY as much as
one partakes OF the cup in any of its seduct'
i've forms, by SO much does he become I'M
conscious of the grandeur of the event he helps
to celebrate. If there are to be no proceed
ings in your own town, attend the ceremonies
of the next. BY all means go somewhere
and fill the programme. Splendid prepare
lions have been made at nearly all the larg'
places of the state, thus aiFording every ono
a chance to glow with pride at the rehearsal o
the deeds Of our ancestors This year the usua
hackneyed oratory Of such occasions will b.
transformed into a new elOquence, kindlinI
fresh inspiration 10 every soul susceptible o
tho love of country. The revolutionary pc
Rod which has come to be regarded as a re

1t is a wise measure which some capital
lists have adopted of sending their employees
to the centennial to study some Of the prod
ucts OF the skill and industry of the world.
Literature, even when illumined with copious
engravings, can furnish ne adequate concep.
ton Of the wonders of mechanism displayed
at the exhibition. We have no especial in
terest in urging all who can to go, except
the desire to have them get the wisdom and
benefits resulting from a series of "object
lessons" without parallel in the history OF
the earth. The expense of spending two
weeks at Philadelphia need not be large
The Fair is not dress reception. One goes
to see rather than to be seen. 1t is suicide
to any permanent and distinct impressions to
rush through the grounds in day or two.
In order to an appreciation Of the exhibition
one needs to keep his poise and not lose him.
self in the whirl and bewlderment incident
to great throngs and great occasions. The
true object of visiting the centennial is to
return home with the mind free from con-
fused impressions and stored with definite
images and clear ideas. What conduces to
such result all know. Before the FIRST of
November we hope that majority of all
the farmers of Vermont may economic,
where economy is the question, and keep
their patriotism at such pitch as to make a
trip to the Quaker city appear almost like a
necessity. Competition aAd the excess Of
preparation for board and lodging are pledges

1t appears that Carl SChurz accepts the
Cincinnati nominations conditionally. If
Gov. Hayes satisfactorily expounds the plat
form which is quite too vague and general to
meet the hearty endorsement of the best lib
erals, then the German orator takes the stump
for the republican ticket It is said that
the German vote of the West can turn the
majority either way. This being true, it
behooyes the nominee to define his position
on the reform question in definite aud vigor-
Gus terms, for to Schurz alone was due his
victory over Bill Allen year ago, and upon
Schurz again as controlling the majority Of
German suffrages, will largely depend his
success in the more exciting contest of this
fall.

Those men cannot be praised too highly
who from ansel6sh interest and devotion to
the cause are engaged in organizing temper
ance reform clubs IN different parts Of the
state. 1t has come to be recognized truth
that the most efficient gospel workers and
effective temperance speakers are often those
whose own careers have been fruitful in ex.
cesses. The very presence of such men uu.
der such circumstances is an argument for
reform, that frequently carries conviction
when the elaborate discourse would fail of
the least effect The appeals of one who has
''drunk life to the lees" and been "steeped
to the very lips in misery" possess sort Of
dramatic sadness that has its beneficial in
nuence upon the audience. Whatever may
be ones IDEAS as to how intemperance may
best be abated, only cynic will discover in
the earnest efforts Of these reformers topics
for ridioule and criticism.

What the West will do, where strange no.
tOns as to what constitutes money exist, We
cannot yet predict. The opposition Of the
rings Of New York, II is believed, will not
extend outside Of that state and 30 little pe-
lance can be placed upon New York under
any circumstances that a democratic victory
there would be no surprise.

A dispatch from Montpelier to the Boston
Herald last Friday says that "The rivalry
between Vermont colleges has recently led
to some extraordinary and undigni6ed acts,
if reports be true. 1t is reported that at the
close of the last term of the Barre academy,
DIR. Spaulding, the principal, found that
President Hurlbert, with a professor from
Middlobury college, had visited the place,
held private examinations Of students and
gwen them certificates to enter Middlebury
college. 1t is also stated that last Monday
two students of Middebury college were
sent to Brandon to induce the son of DR.. o.
G.. Dyer to change from Vermont University
to Middlebury." We trust if there be the
substance Of truth in these statements, it
may be revealed. Until the facts are known
and authoritatively given, the less said, per-
haps, the better.

tcgrity in the answering loyalty with which
his church has stood by him "through thick
aud thin" No strength or glory can accrue
to any denomination from an action pitched
upon The key Of prejudice or ill-will. But
there is well founded doubt whether those reso-
lutons indicate the ministerial mind Of the
state. II is believed that two or three
clergymon in the state are laboring in a
covert way to recruit the strength Of Drs.
Storrs and Buddiugton as opposed to the
Plymouth pastor.

The news from Turkey continues warlike.
The SerVians are rapidly arming, and all
their available forces have been called into
the field. Tue whole country is in favor of
throwing off the yoke OF Turkey, which ia
only nominal, and this feeling is largely due
to Russian agencies, There is growing
anxiety at all the great European capitals
and war-like preparations everywhere con-
tinue. If the dissatisfied provinces have nc
assistance from other countries, the Turkish
government is strong enough to maintain it
hold upon them, but there is so much sym
pathy for them among the people Of Russia
aud Austria that aid is pretty certain to be
afforded them under circumstances that may
ut any moment cause an interference BY
some of the great powers, and thus PreciPi
tate general war.

Rutland is still in the dark. The vexed
question as to the quantity of lager a man
can take, and yet keep his bearings may re.
ceivs partial reply from the following ray
of intelligence taken from the New York
Tribune:
We do not know that the Sunday excite
meuts have settled even the question. Will
lager intoxicate? : Mr.. Jacob Van Weller Of
New Jersey, being apparently Of Dutch ex'
tractien, and therefore of good capacity for
the experiment, swallowed in a saloon Of this
city on Saturday evening 80 glasses of the
dubious beverage. He did this to win BET
Of $50, and with the intention of Illuminating
tho judicial mind of the court Of appeals in
the matter of iutoxicants. Mr.. Van Weller
with the $50 in his pocket and the 80 glasses
in his stomach, started for his home in New
Jersey, and desiring to reach it by the most
expeditions route walked into the water al
the foot of Leroy street. He was fished Out
by pair Of policemen, and is now ready tC
swear in any court that lager will not intox'
icate, bat may mislead a man into the river

A correspondent Of the New York Times
states that Disraeli is failing perceptibly,
