Editor Rutland Globe Our city, which |
has been almost at a stand still in business,
shows indications of revival. Various |
branches Of trade feel encouraged, and |
there are no particular features Of discour-
agement in the signs of the times beyond
that of depression ia labor. There are as
yet no Indications of building to any great
extent and probably it will be quite limit
ed. The great question under consldera-
ton is, what are our laborers to do? They
must flock to the country in large numbers.
This centennial year must bring the cul-
minatiou of the labor question, and men
must learn from rad experience that they
cannot make their own terms or put a limit
upon toll l. is mans lot, and would he
eat, and feed those who are dependent on
him, incessant toll is the penalty, and that
trade in all its forms can not pay price
for labor beyond rcmuncrative prices for
manufacture
Notwithstanding the dull air that has
surrounded all circles during the winter,
lheaters, concerts, operas, lectures and en-
terianments of all kinds have been well
paronized.

AN EXPOSURE.
: Apropos 10 this anniversary of the FRI
l. flirtations of the inhabitants of "ano,he
. sphere with the Fox gills at Hydesvillt
{ n. y, was published a scandalous expo
: sure OF Mrs Hardys operations IN wa
s moulds. These casts of hands are pre-
a duced, as is claimed, by incorporeal spirit
4 dipping very stout and corporeal digits int
r a pail of warm "paraffine " at Mrs. Hal
q dy's feet. But one of the wax mould
d was picked up, it was aveired, from whei
; it had dropped out of Mrs. II. skirts {
n she was on her way to one of her parailin
# seances. Mr.. Hardy counters on This ex
posture with list of seances where mould
of hands were produced when Mrs. Hard
was developed IN net work bag, and CT
gently inquiries how Mrs. Hardy, even a
: lowing that she had forty moulds abo,
l. her person, could have deposited them on
side of this bag We are sure We don
know and are willing TO admit that "
!, shall not probably know till Mrs. Haro
d tells us how the thing is done; but it dot
. not follow that We must believe that spiri
y come to her call to paddle fat or bony han,
u in pals of "paraillne." We must in con
mon sense believe such conduc. inconsi
>, tent with the spirit constitution. b.
