President Iayes in Vermont.

On last Saturday, at Brattleboro,
Vermont, while waiting at the depot
for the train to start, President
HAYES received a hearty greeting
from a large assemblage of the peo-
pie. He spoke to them as follows:
My FELLOW CITIzENs:-Before l
leave you l desire to say what L
have hitherto omitted, and if you
will kindly permit me to speak two
or three sentences, 1 shall be glad to
receive your attention. No language
is too warm or too strong to express
my gratitude for the cordial recep-
tion which you have given me and
nv family in BrattlebOro. My tam
iIy, or rather the Hayes family, came
to Brattleboro about one hundred
years ago. i do not know the exact
date. My grandfather was black
smith, the only one here,. l think,
when he came, and the people well
coined him cordially, as they always
do so important a parsonage as the
village blacksmith in newly settled
community.
A voiee-a blacksmith in a new
country is almost as good as Pres
ident among US.
l have most agreeable recollec-
tions of Brattleboro. l thank you
cordially for what you have done,
for there are few spots dearer to me
than this. My father left here sixty
years ago next month and moved to
Ohio, where / was born, but my old
er brother and sister were born here.
When a boy of eleven years, forty
three years ago, l first came to this
place on a visit to my uncle John,
who then lived in this village. Dur
ing my visit l walked over the road
by which l rode this morning, and
from the very house where | slept
last night. The place was beautiful
then. There has been many changes
since then, the beauty continues and
has been enhanced. | hope the beau
ty and prosperity of Brattleboro will
continue to increase, and hope that
again and again and often l shall
come hither to meet you. But | am
extending my remarks beyond two
or three sentences, and so must close
by again thanking you for the hearty
welcome you have given me.

account that there can be but little doubt
that his statement is correct. The affair
shows how dangerous it is to trust to de-
tectives in such cases. They have direct
interest in finding some one guilty, for
unless they can discover a criminal of
what use are they? And 50 when they fail
to find the murderer, they fasten the
crime upon the first person that suspicion
can be directed against, and if they havnt
evidence they make it. There is but
little doubt that poor Rubenstein was wor-
ried into his grave and taat the detectives
are guilty of the death Of him and his EN-
tire family PIETRo.

The Democrats Of Kemper county, Mis-
sissippi, have nominated the leader of the
assassins who murdered the Chisholm fam
lily, for sheriff. Governor Stone, who re-
fused to order their arrest Or to provide in
any way for their punishment, has been
renominated for Governor. That they will
both be elected by overwhelming majOri-
ties does not admit of question. To have
been prominently concerned in the mur-
der Of Republican is the badge Of politi-
cal favor to Mississippi Democrat in this
year OF reconciliation. With this open and
unblushirg premium on murder, what will
n Republicans life be worth in Mississippi
before the end Of another year?

At the proroguation of Parliament, one
of those very tame generalities-a speech
of the sovereign-was read by commission.
One of its illusions is thought to be not
well calculated to remove the latent hos
tility of Russia against Great Britain. Her
Majesty is made to boast that she has Sc
cured friendly assurances from the Gar,
while in a subsequent hint, throws out the
possibility that the ''rights of her empire"
may be endangered This arrangement of
contradictions is thought to be rather sig
nifcant of a state of feeling that casts its
shadow before.

A cable dispatch reports that The Car of
Russia is in state of great anxiety, de-
string that an energetic and even desperate
movement shall be made by his armies
south of the Danube, and that if success
full he will then be ready to treat for com
paratively moderate terms Of peace. This
report agrees with other indications of the
approach of an effort intended to be de-
cisive, to regain lost ground by the Rus
sian forces.

FT1oUETTE.-If fine manners are
naturally associated with rank, the
supposition would be that the higher
the rank the finer the manners. 1t
would then follow that the guest of
honor, who was also the stranger,
would take precedence of all others.
It is therefore bewildering to learn
that when the Prince of Wales re-
Gently gave dinner to Gen. Grant
the distinguished visitor brought up
the rear of the procession to the din
ing room. We are but Doors in etl-
quette; yet if the Prince of Wales
had been the guest of honor of the
President of the United States ne
would not have been permitted to
close the march to dinner; and he
would have preceded, not as Prince,
but as guest; for it would be equally
true of untitled Mr.. Bright or Mr..
Gladstone as of Prince. Courtesy
is a poor thing if it cannot dispense,
upon due occasion with the rigidity
of ceremonial forms. It is rumored
that The American Minister in Eng
land was long absorbed in the task
of arranging Gen. Grants invitations
so that he should not be apparently
insuIted by being treated at enter
tainments given in his hOuor with
less consideration than any other
guest. This is hardly credible to an
unsophisticated American, because
he cannot comprehend either that an
English gentleman should offer or
an American gentleman accept such
a situation. The rules of really good
society, whether titled or untitled,
are everywhere the same in regard
to certain essential points, and it is a
pity if they are violated in the house
of a prince. To invite an untitled
man into titled company, upon an
occasion of pure ceremony, where
titles determine precedence, is to in
yite him to go behind. If Prince
gives dinner in honor of an unit
tied guest, he is bound to honor him
chiefly, and he invites the company
merely to help him render the honor.
If, therefore, 1t be true that the
Prince of Wales gave dinner spe-
ciaIly to Gen. Grant, and permitted
the greater part of the company to
precede him to the table Gen. Grant
should quietly have left the house,
and all the more if, as is constantly
said, etiquette and forms are real
things to European society. For it
that be so, the significance of the sit
uation was that an American with
out title, however illustrious, how
ever honored at home, and the espe-
cial guest of the occasion, is not to
be recognized as the equal of titled
people, Probably, if the story be
true, Gen. Grant was not troubled; !;
but if English gentlemen are requir-
ed by etiquette to aequiesce in so
fragrant dicsourtesy they are great
ly to be pitied.-Harper's Magazine.

Cleveland is to be the theatre of SPLEEN
did display of Knights Templar, next
week, beginning on Monday, the 9th.
This will be the fourth triennial of the
kind. As.tbe number expected will be, at
least, 5000, beside the musicians and la
dies, it viii be readily seen that it is to be
big thing, and the occasion will be one
of corresponding interest. The uniform of
this order is the most genteel and pleasing
OF any other. Their evolutions are of the
military order, and are in high degree
graceful and beautiful. As the city will be
dressed for the occasion, the crowd drawn
together will no doubt be large.

Eds. Ha,-HaVing occasion to pass up
Prospect street last Sabbath evening, my
attention was attracted by an institution
which has been the subject Of criticism by
some portion of our citizens, who regard
the proper observance of the Sabbath, and
desire to have good order prevail. Why
should the business of beer selling be an
exception to the general rule of Sabbath
observance? Contrary to the general Gus
tom of dealers in what are considered the
Recessaries of life, this place Is open to its
patrons on portions at least of the day rec
ognized as day CT cessation from trade
and traffic; and especially in the latter
part Of the day does it furnish a gathering
place for those whose time-and money, if
they spend sny-ought, to say the least,
be put to better purpose; and the volu-
bility which is quite apparent to passers-
by, gives evidence that something of a
very interesting and enlivening nature is
the subject of conversation behind the cur
tanned windows.
If We, as people, desire to maintain
good reputatiOR--if we desire to have the
better GLASS of citizens come among us to
reside, our municipal authorities will need
to pay little attentiont to such institutions
as this. And am told that this is not
theonly establishment in town that is open
to the same criticism.
Yours, for good order,
