southern garrisons for keeping troops in

Gen. Sherman has already commenced
to remove soldiers from Georgia int

The Worlds Age.

Mr.. William Chambers, the veteran
author and publisher Of Chambers jour
nal, contributes 10 that excellent period
cal summary OF some Of the NAM
views held by scientists as to the an
tiqui,y OF our world. The Quarterly Re
view treated the samc subject recently
and that worst conservative Of maya
zines now admits that the ordinary IL
depreciation OF the date of the creation
about 5000 years ago, is to be set aside
as untenable and at variance not only
with historic and archaeological re
search, but with the substantial discoy-
cries of geology. The reviewer quo
the opinion that it is impossible that ! G
earth can have existed many millions OF
years, as the earth is cooling, ii not rap
idly, at such rate as to make such al
antiquity impossible; and again, Their,
is reason 80 believe that the earth's rota
tlcn is not so rapid as formerly.
The question as TO the date Of creation
must be considered to refer TO our solar
system alone. The nearest fixed star on
sun outside our system-possibly tn,
center of a similar SYSTEMS TOO far of
TO enter into the question OF the ago o.
our sun and It's planets and their satcl-
ll;es, being two hundred million mile
away. Sir Charles Lyell gives the dat,
of the Cambran formation of rocks as
at least two hundred and forty millions
years ago while Mr.. DRAWN assigns t.
the world 4 much greater age even thar
this. Mr.. Adams has essayed 30 calcu
late the retardation of the earth by the
friction Of the tidal waves on the atmos
phcre; and in conjunction with profes-
sor TAFT and Sir William Thomas, h,
allows % seconds per century as the
time lost by the slackencd speed. Mr..
Chambers wisely concludes his article
as follows: 1--WE can only say that the
theories propounded are eminently sug
gestive, but nothing more. 1t is not re
markabic that there should be a diflerenc
of opinion among men of science con
corning the dark and stupendous

New Soda Fountain.

One Of the sure signs that spring has
come is the erection and fitting up OF soda
fountains. The country may be going to
the dogs, but the people will drink soda
Just the same. And we are not now con-
tent with good soda, but must have it
drawn from fountain which satisfies the
most artistic eye. Recognizing these facts
Mr. A. w. Higgins has just purchased ana
erected handsome "Arctic" fountain,
manufactured by j. w. Tufts, Boston.
The fountain Is imposing in appearance,
standing seven feet seven inches high. The
base is of black Belgian marble, from
which rise tablets of Italian bardillo mar
bic of pearl blue, interlaced with veins OF
delicate black. The body Of the fountain
is of cream--or in millinery phrase ecru-
Sewer marble, very fine and highly polish
ed and noticeable for the beauty of the
mouldings with which it is ornamcnted.
This is surrounded by a heavy moulding OF
black Belgian like the base, very handsome.
The body is surmounted by tower of
white Italian marble ornamented with bar
dllo, SEWER and black marble, and the
whole surmounted by silver pinnacle a
foot and half high.
The fountain contains twelve syrup
cans, surrounding a capacious ice box,
under which is long coil of pipe,
through which the soda must pass.
Though the atmosphere should be suflocat-
ing and the thermometer stand 112 de-
grees outside Of the fountain, yet nothing
but icy GOODNESS can reign within.
The fountain draws soda, geyser and
ginger beef, and beside it stands an Gin
dex draught tube" an entirely new and
handsome arrangement, for drawing min.
eral waters. The frame stands about two
feet high, is of silver and black Belgian
marble, and of graceful pattern. In con.
nection with the fountain is an improved
tnmhler washer.
Altogether, Higgins is ready to take
care of the soda custom in first rate style,
and few warm days would prove that he
is equal now, as he has proved himself
heretofore, to the task.

The Bristow Scandal.

WAsnINGToN, April 90.
Representative Caulied, chairman of
the committee on expenditures, in the de-
partment of justice, has addressed letter
to Secretary BTistow, replying 10 bis letter
of yesterday. Cauldeld explains that the
testimony OF Judge Barley, which was
hearsay, was not corr0borated by Mr..
Duit, and hence the committee had no
evidence against Btistow. The letter also
explains that, on Tuesday morning, Bris.
tow was informed of the facts of the
case by o member of the committee, and
concludes Offering further investigation If
Mr.. Bristow desires it, although consider
ing it entirely unnecessary.
Judge Barley has addressed letter to
MIR. Caulfeld criticsing Bristow's letter,
and stating that the latter denies the facts
not testified by Barley. He also calls on
Bristow 10 show that there were no seiz-
uros Of distilleries pending in the court

will be carried on under the personal su-
pervision of Mr.. A. G. Bates, which Is q
guarantee Of its thoroughness. The car
pcntor work will be under the direction of
Mr.. Henry Beals.
The work was begun yesterday with fif-
teen men and more will be added as soon
as there is room for them. The work will
be pushed forward as fast as possible, and
it is expected that the roof will be on by
the fret of July, and that the stores will be
ready for occupancy by August. There
will also be an addition back Of the hotel
to contain rooms for servants, ETC., 80 that
the main building will be entirely at the
disposal of the guests.
When the building Is completed the
house will doubtless continue its former
brilliant reputation, and will add much to
the prosperity and attractiyeness of the
town. We wish Mr.. Bates all success in
the early compile ton of his enterprise.

have again to rciterate my views re-
Rardng the better supply of water, and
urge that immediate and effective measures
be taken to remedy the existing evil.
There should be laid IN certain localities,
pipe Of increased calibre, and there should
be additional hydrants. | present here
with a statement of the property in charge
of each company as well as its condition,
in general terms, also list of the officers
and members of each company. The de-
psrment stands very much in need Of
hook and ladder cart and equipment. Some
coo feet OF new hose and more hosemen's
coats are needed.
In view of the serious damage to hose by
being driven over while stretched in the
streets, earnestly recommend the passage
of an additional section to the fire depart
ment ordinances, imposing an adequate
penalty for driving any vehicle over any
hose stretched or laid, or being stretched
or laid at any alarm of fire in the village of
Rutland. And, to further promote the eff
ficiency of the department | respectfully
submit for your approval an additional sec
ton which may read as follows
The apparatus of the fire department
shall have the right of way in and upon the
streets, lanes, alleys, squares and rsilroad
crossings in going 10 any fire or being
upon such streets, lanes, alleys and squares
in pursuance of an alarm of fire. No per-
son shall obstruc;, or neglect or refuse to
make way for any of such apparatus being
thus in or upon said streets, lanes, alleys
and squares, under a penalty of twenty-five
dollars for every offenso.
To the officers and members of the COM
panies comprising the department, the
most sincere and unqualified thanks are due
from the citizens Of Rutland. During the
past year the ravages by fire have been I'M
usually dcsoating, and the duties and dan
gers which our firemon have so promptly
and cheerfully met, have been particularly
hazardous and arduous. Considering the
disinterested character OF the valuable SER
vices rendered, you would indeed prove
remiss in duty, did you not deeply appre-
ciate and thank those who have so prompt
ly and so inuepidly cone to your relief
in the hour of peril.

The New Bates House.

The Bates house was burned but few
days more than two months ago, and
Thursday the first brick of the new house
was laid. The plans for the building, the
work Of Putnam & Graves, architects, of
Rochester, N. Y, were exhibited at the
store of A. c. Bates g. Son, and attracted
a good deal of attention.
The building is to cover the same space
a. formerly, having front of 104 feet on
Merchants row, and rs feet on Center
street, being four stories high, with u
central tower, and two corner towers at
the Merchants row and Center street ex-
tremities. The form will be much the
same as before, except that the space &C.
cuped by Higgins, Hilliard, and the en-
trance, will be set back sixteen inches to
allow for balcony over the entrance, sup
ported by pillars, making q highly orna-
mental entrance.
The ground floor will be divided as in
the former building, and the stores ara all
already lot to their former tenants, viz
G. s. Mason, clothing, corner store A.
w. Higgins, drugs, right OF the entrance
Geo. w. billiard, dry goods, left OF the
entrance and A. @. Bates & Son, extreme
north store.
The second floor will contain, as before
the Office, parlor, dining room, bsrber-shop
billiard room, sample room, etc.; the thirc
and fourth floors will contain SO sleeping
apartments and number of suits OF rooms
The whole will be handsomely finished
heated by steam, aud furnished win oil
modern improvements for the comfort ant
convenience of the public.
The plans were the work of William J
Graves, of the firm Of Putnam & Graves
poohsster, formerly Of Rutland, and sol
