HOffm eiSter'S LareS--All but Four
Pieces Recovered.

1t will be remembered by the readers
of the STAR that about the middle o
last month the notion store OF Mr.. Il
Hoffmeister, at No. 152 West Fourth
street, was burglarized and lace goods
to the amount of nearly $4,000 were
taken. Since the robbery Detective
Charley Wappenstein has been working
up the case, and has at last found the
goods, with but four pieces mis- sing.
The thieves were from New YORK, and
woman was one Of the party. The
goods were taken first to Indianapolis
thence to Chicago, and thence to Wine
sor, Canada. The party in Indianapolis
to whom they were sold for $500 tried to
sell them in Chicago, but failed. From
there they were sent to New York, and
from there back TO indianapolis, where
Wappenstein and Nj. ii otfmeister found
them yesterday at the depot. The roll
bers have not been apprehended.

Will the Farmers Explain 2

Many OF our enterprising farmers are pay
ing out for flour, corn, feed, fertilizers and
other things that might be produced on their
farms, large amount Of the money received
for their butter, cheese, stock aud other
staples. Now, we are no farmer, but it
strikes us that some system Of farming ought
to be adopted, whereby the twenty acre Of
land that would be possessed by every man,
woman or child 10 Vermont (were the ter.
ritory equally divided) ouSht to support that
person and his animals. But with all this
land, much Of it adapted to the raising Of
wheat and every manner Of food required by
the animals on the farm, our farmers are
buying wheat that grows hundreds OF miles
beyond the Mississippi and corn produced in
Illinois. While the forests are full of leaf
mould and muck and mari, these same in
dustrious, economical farmers are buying
guano that comes all the way from the is
lands Of the Pacific TO eurck their lands.
Our soil or climate must be very poorly
adapted to farming, or there is some mistake
about the methods of farming. Most of the
land in this vicinity will produced wheat
from 10 to 20 bushels to the acre in ordi.
nary seasons. Hence one acre o'wheat will
produce -four for family of four persons.
This -four would cost $50, more or less. Two
acres Of good wheat will supply large fam.
lily with flour. The cost OF raising wheat is
something, but not very heavy. Now the
money sent west for -four would remain at
home, if tho -four staple was produced here.
So OF feed Tor cattle; every acre Of land will
produce oats, barley, buokwheat and roots,
aud there are few acres 10 the state that will
not produce corn. These crops will always
bring money if they are not needed for feed
aud we cannot understand why farmers who
have large tracts of fallow laud, that would
be benefited by producing some of the things
mentioned, do not grow them for their feed.
The oats raised on an average Of ground will
sell for eighteen or twenty dollars every year,
while barley is Of moro value.
We are aware it can be said that some
crops cost moro than they come TO, aud that
It seems to be cheaper 10 some instance to
buy than TO produce an article but imagine
the difference in our means, if all our food
for man and beast were produced at home.
Let the thousands that are sent from every
town annually for -four, corn, feed, etc., be
retained at home, and see how soon we should
be forehanded. A state almost entirely de-
voted to agriculture, like Vermont, ought to
produce the food consumed within Il, and
until there is a smaller drain on our resour.
ees for the things mentioned, we do not see
how we can reach state Of prosperity.
We call the attention OF farmers TO these
matters, and invite correspondence and COM
ments. -BartOa Monitor.

Oakley Hall.

Some three weeks ago the great sensation
in New York was the disappearance of A..
Oakley Hall, Ex-Mayor, lawyer, actor, and
now it is believed by many, ex.Tammany
thief Mr.. Hall left his Office one day as
usual. This was the last seen Of him for
two weeks. During this time some thought
suicide was the cause of his disappearance
some that he had been murdered aud still
others that the looming confession of Boss
Tweed had led him to place himself beyond
the immediate reach Of the law. The latter
superstition proved 10 be the most correct
in appearance, at least--for at the expiration
Of the aforementioned time he was heard of
10 Liverpool, where he took the train for
for London. Arriving there he took cheap
lodgings in an Obscure locality, though not
50 obscure but that the London correspondent
of the New York Times found him out and
interviewed him. Hall at these interviews
was very reticent, refusing to tell what in
uuNou mn ouuuSu uePsiIut0i Ut "hab "eIv
his plans for the future. But at this point
a new complication arose. 1t was found
that his lodgings we're shared by a woman.
just who this woman is, is great question
among the New York press, but it is gener-
ally supposed she is Blanche Grey, an nc.
tresses whom Hall has befriended in times
past. So the mystery deepens as new dis
cOveries are made. Hall has gone under the
name Of Subtitle since his departure. 1t is
more than probable that fear of the ring
disclosures was the real cause of Halls
fight. His family are much distressed by
bis conduct. BY some 1t supposed that he
is poor, having lost large sums latterly in
the theatrical business, while others claim
that he is still wealthy. But time will show
US the true state of things.

Comments Of the Press upon Phair.

Certainly the Boston Globe is entitled to
q medal from the humanitarian society for it
has saved a mans life.-Portland Press.
Whether Phair is innocent or guilty, the
position tho Globe has taken is a noble ono.
The civilization Of New England should be n
guaranty Of justice to all, rich or poor, in.
huential or friendless. "Let justice DO done
though the heavens fall !"-Cor. Boston
Globe.
1t will not be necessary to call attention
to the remarkable development in the
Phair Vermont murder case Yesterday, by
which the condemned, and possibly, even
probably, innocent man was saved from ex.
ecution at Windsor by bare half hour. 1t
looks as If this was going to be the most not
able argument against convection on circum.
stantial evidence that New England has ever
iurnished.-SdrinQfcid Republican.
Opponents Of capital punishment will fad
a picturesque text in the narrow margin by
which probably innocent man escaped the
gallows yorterday in Vermont. A mere nc
cident led to the disclosure Of important ev.
idence tending to prove an abb the gov.
ernor of the state was telegraphed to barely
4 few moments before the hour fixed for the
execution, and, happening to be at the time
in the telegraph office, sent an immediate re.
prieve. A sugle break in this chain of hap.
Pr accident, aud the condemned man might
have been beyond the reach of mercy -
Tribune.
The condemned man had nobody to sub.
stanate his claim that he made trip to
Providence and back on certain days on GER
tain trains. Mr.. NJ. d. Downing, of this
city, reading casually his claim, recalled that
he sat IN the cars about that time with a
Vermont man returning from au unsuccessful
quest in Providence. Referring to his trav.
cling memorandum book he found it was the
very day. Possessed with remarkable
memory for faces, he subsequently rocogniz-
ed the features OF his fellow traveller in the
photograph of the condemned. It was a
chain of circumstances as happy as another
train Of circumstances had been unhappy for
the man Phair. A long sermon might be
written on the helps of the modern inventions
and newspaper enterprise, and the spread,
and the spread Of brotherly kindness among
men on this extraordinary incident.-Bos

bismarck.

A thrill Of excitement passed over Ecu.
rope last week, caused by the resignation Of
Prince Bismarck. The cause Of this act
was not positively known, but IL may be
attributed TO the growing opposition to him
in the German congress or reclistary, and a
feeling that his popularity was diminishing
among the Germans outside Of Prussia. As
might be supposed his resignation was not
accepted BY Emperor William, but years
leave Of absence has been granted him, which
will probably be spent 10 travel, etc. Il is
not supposed that Bismarck will again en-.
ter fully upon the arduous duties which he
has so long aud so we'll fulfilled. But his
Influence will be more or less felt during his
life. Germany can i'll afford to lose the
great diplomat. While he has not scruped
to use other kingdoms as best suited his
plans, with little regard for their advance
ment or downfall, his policy toward his own
country has ever been patriotic, liberal aud
progressive in accordance with the German
rendering Of those words.
The Prussians cannot feel too grateful
toward the master mind that has transformed
their country from a second -cass power into
one Of the most powerful nations 10 the
world. Bismarck, with Andrassy otIAustria
and Gotschakoff of Russia formed the mod.
ern European tirumvirate Of courticrs. Un-
excelled for wisdom, cunning and courage,
they have kept their respective nations With
their best side 10 the front aud ever ready to
repel or make attack.
Count Won Camphausen will probably
succeed to the chancellorship, though he is
not very well liked by the Germans. 1t
will indeed take giant intellect to fill the
great minister's place. Bismarck should
employ part Of his vacation in the United
States. We surmise that even he could
learn much in this country. 1t is getting to
be fAvorite trip of the European celebri-
ties, and there is no reason why il should
not be. They are well treated aud learn
much in regard to the arts of government,
education. manufactures, etc., which our
older sisters have not yet accomplished.
So pack your valisc, Count Won Bismarck,
and come and see us.
