Herbert q. futile
A correspondent Of the Burlington Free
Press writing from Berlin, Prussia, under
date OF March 81, gives the following inter
esting sketch of Herbert C.Tuttle 1t will be
remembered that Mr. Tutte Isl Vermonter
whom we have reason to take great
pride in.
Herbert futile is resident of Berlin, if
Keeping house on French flat in beaut-
full quarter of the town, having grand
piano, and paying taxes, hint at an cstab-
lished home. He has been here three years
driving phlosophic quill 10 busy way,
and 10 well known 10 the English and Ger
man reading public During residence
in Enropo OF four years, he has been the
regular correspondent Of the New York
Dnly Tribune, and London Daily NeWS.
His position will be appreciated when /
say that,as an American, he represents the
second Journal Of Great Britain at the cap
ital of all Germany apparent incongrui-
tics, but which find, for Mr.. futile, an &C
ceptablc solution in the shape of good
salary. Aside from this necessary routine
he makes quite regular contributions TO

spite its eiementof democratic argument.
The article appeared most timely, during
the sitting OF the prussian Parliament, just
before the lively Cuterkampf came up for
discussion. | may say in brief, that though
this word will not phllologically translate
itself into my dciinition, it represents to-
| day The struggle between the church and
state or, more definitely, the struggle of
the state against Ultramontanism. Mr..
futile raises Prince Bismarck to the posi-
ton OF commanding philosophic states-

establishment of united Constitutional Ger
