A NEW LEGAL TENDER.-The Illinois
legislature thought it did a bright thing
when it made silver legal tender for all
debts within the limits of that state. Per-
haps the members will learn something
when they see how the law operates if in
deed it operates at all. One result will be,
for instance, that business men in New York
can buy silver to make payments in Chicago
and save some ten per cent. or so on their
bills, which, of course, the Chicago men
will lose. The state will soon find itself
flooded with silver coin, with which all pay
ments from other quarters will be made,
while the people there will have to buy
greenbacks and national bank notes at a
premium with which to make their pay
ments outside of the state.

FROM the tone of the New York papers
we should say that the Yankee Carnival 4"
was not success. The Herald speaks of
the gimcrack day procession" "a two
mile funeral of show wagons and hand-bill
throwing" "the gingerbread night process
sion;" the World tells of the visit of King
Carnival in "a somewhat heterogeneous
fashion," and the Times has a racy and quite
funny account of the show under the head,
''the festival of the fools, inane stupidity
and pageantry." The great procession ap-
pears to have been long line of advertising
vans or, as one paper expresses it, "a grand
combination of dealers, an organized COM
pany of advertisers, who occupied the public
streets, impeded travel, and nauseated pas
sengers with clap-trap and vulgarity." 1t
was wholly tawdry and silly show, and will
be the last attempt it is hoped to celebrate
a carnival in Northern city.

A Novel Ceremony.

One of the most novel ceremonies ever oc-
curing in our state took place at st. Johns
bury on Monday evening. 1t consisted in
the formal presentation to Sir Thaddeus
Fairbanks of the decoration and diploma
of the order of Commander" conferred
upon him by the Bey of Tunis, in recogni-
ton of his services in the invention OF the
celebrated Fairbanks scales. Most OF the
foremen of the shops, and many of the older
citizens of the town, with their families,
were present. The exercises were opened
by reading of the diploma by Rev. Il. I.
Fairbanks, after which the decoration was
conferred by Colonel Franklin Fairbanks.
The attendance was quite large, the spacious
residence of Sir Thaddeus being well filled.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies, Judge
Poland made few felicitous and appropri-
ate remarks, which were well received. Re-
freshments followed, and the company sep
arated at a late hour. The order of Knight
hood had previously been conferred upon
Mr.. Fairbanks by the King of Austria. We
think he is the only citizen Of the state who
has received equal honors-and he is in
every respect worthy of Them and surely no
man living could wear them more meekly.

National Life Insurance Company OF
Vermont.

MONTPELIER, Vt, May 18th, 1877.
To the Policy holders NJ The National Lie IN
ara7ce Company Of Vermont:
It having been ascertaned by us that certain
parties desiring change Of management Of the
company in which you, as well as ourselves, are
directly interested, and having good reason to
know that such change would be prejudicial TO
the great interest we represent, We acting in good
faith that in nowise, through the efforts Of in
triguing men, should the status Of the company
be imperilled, have, in accordance with the priv
ege given in the seventh section Of our act Of in
corporation, issued stock to the amount Of sixty
six thousand dollars, all Of which has been taken
and the amount paid In in cash. At the annual
meeting Of the company, January 9, 1868, the fol-
lowing order was passed.
whereas, It may be for the benefit Of this company to
possess guarantee capta II is hereby ordered and pro-
vded that whenever In the opinion Of the president and
financial committee II shall appear to he for the interest Of
the company hereby authorized and empowered
create such amount OF stock they may deem proper
exceeding hundred and thousand dollars to be d.
vded into shares Of ATTY dollars each and procure the
sameo be subscribed and to Issue the proper certificates
to the stockholders"
When, on April 4, 1876, subscription not to ex-
coed one hundred thousand dollars was ordered
the following statement and proviso were agreed
to:
1.-THE holders Of said stock shall be entitled receive
annual dividend Of per cent per annum, payable
one-haf October and one-haf April In each and every
year but said stock shall not participate any profits Of
the business Of the company or s surplus"
The object of this issue is to obtain the votes in
person or by proxy, Of persons holding said stock,
in order that the management which has for more
than quarter Of century controlled and di-
rected the affairs of this corporation, until in in
tegrity and strength it stands the peer Of any in
the country, shall be continued in office.
While 1t may not have been necessary to take
this precauton could we but obtain with ease the
proxies Of many policy-hoders at distance, or II
our members could themselves attend our annual
meetings and cast their votes, we have thought
best in advance Of peril, to protect you in accord
ance as we believe with your most earnest desire
We point with pride to the record Of the Ma.
tional Life Insurance Company, and refer to it a.
the pledge and promise of its future.

THE PAY OF THE ARMY

has been one of the most important questions
which has entered into the postponement OF the
extra session of Congress, and has troubled army
and navy officers here not a little. The PROPOSE.
ton of the banking firm Of Drexel, Morgan Il Co,
with reference to advancing pay to these officers
has met with much commentator here, for, while
the government cannot in any direct way accept
the proposition the officers themselves will make
their own individual negotiations aud thus secure
the money they 50 much need. Doubtless Drexe
& Co knew that the Secretary of War could not
bind the government to accept their terms but
merely made the offer public to reach the men
they wanted OF course too it had a smack Of
patriotism in it, while wthal, Ia use a slang
Southern phrase, there will be right smart busl-
ness In IT,
