How He Squirlns.

In answer to the TRIBUNE'S request,
the 'bestj citizens in Cheboygan' who
had been villified and abused in its COL
ulnns, and who had been refused an op-
portunity to reply through the Same, the
editor of that paper, in this weeks issue,
refers TO the case of Mrs. Hutchinson,
whose letter to the editor of the TRIBUNE
was published in the Free Press. In an
swer, we would say that Mrs. Hutchin-.
son never asked an opportunity to pub,
lish any reply. and consequently could
not have been refused. After the publ
cation Of the article. to which Mrs
H took exceptions. She called at the
office of the TRIBUNE to see the editor
during his absence. Not finding him in,
she addressed the note published in the
the Free Press to him, and we would ask
all5who have ever read the same, wheth-
or or not there was anything in it which
would lead any one to suppose that it
was intended for publication, or that she
desired it printed. The best citizens OF
Cheboygan who have been abused by the
TRIBUNE dwindles down, according to
the Free Press, to this one woman-fOr
do they not say ''we never make an asser-
ton we can't back up" We have re-
peatedly asked the editor of the Free
Press for the names of those who have
been SO terribly abused in the columns
of this paper, and the above is the re-
sult.f The editor of the Free Press
knows when he makes such assertions
that they are not true, nor can he produce
the proof to ''back up" his assertions

A Trottin~ Park.

Anumber of our citizens met at the
office of w. S. Humphrey, Monday night.
for the purpose of talking up Horse 'asso-
citation matters, and in regard to the i'm
provement of the grounds purchased
some years since for building race track.
The subject was generally discussed. and
all seemed to be of the opinion that some
thing should be done at once toward Ell
fecting au organization and improving
the grounds. The estimated expense for
a track and necessary improvements was
$500, which sum, it was thought, could
easily be raised by the circulation of a
subscription paper through the county,
and paper. was drawn up,and Dr.. Perrin
appointed 10 solicit.
1t was suggested that the grounds also
be used for the holding of county fairs.
This is in accordance with a suggestion
made in the TRIBUNE some time since
and we believe that it will be successful |
if proper effort is made; but in order
to insure success there should be organ
lied effort, and for this purpose there
should sbeia society organized, with its
proper Officers elected, and whose duties
should be defined in such manner that
they would know just what they were
expected to do. There might be Horse
association and Agricultural society
separately. or they both might be in
cluded in one organization. Whatever
is deemed best to do, let it be done at
once, and have the ground improved and
put in readiness at as early day as pos
sible, and let the improvements be made
both with view to trotting track and
for holding county fairs. The utmost
unanimity prevailed at the meeting, and
it was decided to hold another meeting
this evening. - 90

LIBERIAN COFFEE PLANTS.
(From the Zap. MaiD.

Large quantities of small plants OF this
kind of coffee are now being prepared
in Messrs. Carriers Nursery, at Forest Hill.

raised in square wooden boxes, filled with
soil to within three or four inches OF The

level with the rims of the boxes, The lIds
are fastened down, and they are thus ready

The first difficulty will, of course. be to
settle who is to undertake the work. Nor
shall we lightly dare to say that this will
be q little one. When we see the South
bank Of the Thames flooded periodically
in the near ncighbourhool Of London and
within Metropolitan limits, and no hearty
ciIlrt made III any quarter to prevent d
calamity long @forSeen and very easily to
be guarded against, we learn how likely
1t Is thar our machinery may at any point
give way before Il strain chat has not been
expressly provided for. and what grave
obstacles we must expect to nd to hiader
the X cu'ioa of the most simple out-of-
the way tasks. The desire OF every primd
.ffcie ,GSpoaSjble official seems to b. to Shift
responsibility from his own shoulders to
those Of his neighbour. The Metropolitan
Board Of Works protest alike their own
p)wcrIeSsueSs and their oWn innocence of
blame They are willing to advise, but
the District Boards or the Vestries must
do what is wanted, though these, it is as
serted, are no better able to act than their
Metropolitan chiefs. The practical upshot
Of the whole discussion has been that the
sufferers must help themselves, or, in
other words. that She inund4tions must go
on unchecked. II Mr.. J. f. D'OYLY is
correct in the calculations which we pub.
lished on Saturday, there is not much time
to be lost, and not much hope OF any very
protracted respite. Once more in the
course OF the present month and several
times more in the course Of the present
year are ;he unhappy people at lnmosth
doomed to BE- fooled. AS each new Oc-
CaSiol comes private energy will 90, we
may be sure, what it is doing ut present.
It will make provision for the sufferers,
but it cannot be equally trusted to take
cttsctual means 70 protect them Tor the
future. Now, En9ialI is literally the on
~ country in Europe il which slca Il re-
currenca OF susA disasters would b. pos
Sible. Ole company Of engineers would
make short work Of the whole business,
and anywhere out Of England their services
on an emergency would have been at once
called in. We, it appears, must wait for
an Act of Parliament, more costly in itself
than the Whole work for which it is iniend-
ed to make provision. But when this is
the cpse SO near London we may well des-
pair about the construction OF our upland
reservoirs. They are, we admit, much
less pres~iogand much more expensive than
the erection OF a line Of l~etencos at Il few
threatened points along the South bank of
the Thames. We must abandon the larger
work for the present as cheerfolIy as we
can, if it is really true that we are not
yet equal to the smaller one. Mr. BslGHr's
scheme Tor the extension of our systemotlo.
cal government arlior the establishment OF
County Boards will derive, we may De sure'
new force from so unsatisfactory an admis-
sion, and still more will Mr.. LOVES plea
for an Improvement in the management OF
London. Those who are interested in the
maintenance of the present system are
scarcely wise in suffering US to be so ire"
quently and SO forcibly reminded pitts very
obvious detects.

The Agnes Wallace Troupe,

Those old favotites. the Agnes Wallace
Villa troupe, appear at the Town hall
Friday and Saturday evenings, and their
old friends in Rutland will have chance
to again witness their capital acting. Since
last here they have played legitimate drama
more and burlesques less, the public gain
ing by the exchange, Agnes Wallace prov
ing a very capable emotional actress. One
burlesque is retained each evening still, CIV
ing Sam Villa opportunity to display his
unlimited supply of fun and his admirable
powers in this style of acting. They will
give Friday night "Maple COTTAGE" an
emotional drama after the style of "East
Lynne" in which Miss Wallace is said to
succeed admirably, and cinderella" a
burlesque in which Sam Villa is simply i'm
mense, as those who saw him here before
will remember. Saturday evening the
bill will be the popular "Frou-frou " and
the "Two off.uns" in which Sam Villa will
burleFque the part made famous by Mics
Claxton. Reserved seats may be obtained
at futile 81 Cos.

Two Trreooncilable Conditions.

Debility and health are irreconcilable condi-
tons. Weakly people, that is to say people
who lack the Vitality requisite for vigorous
discharge OF each and all of the bodily func-
lions, are Invariably AFFLICTED with some,
though 1t may be trinIng, disorder of the sys-
TEN. AtonY, or want OF nervous and muscu-
lar vigor, is accompanied by poverty of the
blood and leanness. A certain way to over
come 1t and prevent the aggravated maladies
TO which 1t must ultimately lead is to use Hos
tetters Stomach Bitters, which promote diges-
tion and assimilation OF the food. and thus are
tho means OF furnishing the body with sup
ply OF blood OF quality essential to its proper
nourlshment. Inauguration through the instru.
mentality OF the matehless tonic protects the
feeble from host OF bodily ills which Turk In
ambush for the debilitated. The Bitters are an
article which 1t is most desirable to keep con
stantly on hand.

A Spirituallstic View Of the Phair
Case.

The Boston Spiritual Scientist, COM
menting on the remarkable delivery of
Phair, the alleged Rutland murderer, Gays:
The witness he needed had been sum-
moned, not by coincidence, as the secular
press are pleased to term it, but by the un-
seen powers. Does it seem 80 very unrea-
sonable to believe that when our loved ones
pass through the change called death that
they lose all interest in earth scenos, and in
the welfare of those TO whom they were
bound with the strongest ties 1t is I'M
natural to suppose that if the identity is
preserved that they still sympathize with
those yet striving with the flesh, rejoicing
in their prosperity aud sustaining them in
their adversely. To the spiritualist it is
a demonstrated truth. The friends OF jus
tce, if John p. Phair indeed be innocent,
were not idle. They were fulfilling the law
of God, the prompungs of the spirit, TO
do good unto others" The time has
come. The impression was given.
NJ. D. Downing had read the paper
and lie was their instrument. Still
further can we trace the presence and
workings of the unseen influences. 1t was
10 o'clock Phair was TO be hung at 1
o'clock. Col. Taylor of the Boston Globe,
with his usual earnestBess, lett his office to
aid toe mission. His intimate knowledge
of telegraph lines and their connection with
large cities were now brought into requisi-
ton. Again the secular press sees a coin
cidence that the operator happened" to be
at his post, and that ''by chance" he knew
that Gov. Fairbanks was not in Montpelier,
but 10 st. Johnsbury: and fortunately
Gov. Fairbanks was ia the telegraph Office
of the latter city when the message came.
John p. Phair was saved the injury that
spirit suffers when torn from the physical
body by violent death. In the marvellous
chain of circumstances that accomplished
the result, we sec an evidence of the unfor-
seen forces in forming the links that were
to complete it.
The facts in the case arc that Governor
Fairbanks was not at the telegraph office a.
st. Jobnsbury at all during the entire cor
respondence by the wires, 30 we are in
formed by Mr.. Rankin. He was "provi-
dentially" in his office at the the First na-
tional bank of st. Johnsbury nearly half
mile away.
