what He Will and What He Will Not DO.
New York Timea.1

Senator Conkling has arrived in
Washington. Those who have talked
with him say that he does not express an
tagonism to the Presidents policy, but
Is not very communicative about it.
They also report that he has indicated
an intention to make no recommends
tions for office, and not to interfere in
regard to appointments, at least for the
present. By doing this his friends say
that he intends to disabuse public
opinion in New York of the notion
which prevails in many quarters that
he seeks to control the patronage Of
that State.

The Great Guns.

The fifty-six ton breech-loader which
was shown by Herr Krupp at the Cen
tennial Exhibition a year ago has been
purchased by the Russian government
and delivered at Cronstadt. 1t fires a
charged steel shell Of 1922 pounds, with
an initial velocity Of 1890 feet second.
The Sultan has ordered companion
piece fo- the defense of Constantinople.
When this gun was exhibited in Phila-
delphia it was the largest breech- loader
in the world; but Herr Krupp, anxious
to prove that cast-steel guns can be
manufactured on scale to vie with the
heaviest .wrought-iron ordinance, is
now finishing at Essen an eightyton
gun. This is about the weight Of
the great Fraser gun with which the
British engineers have been for several
months experimenting at Woolwich
and Shoeburyness. It falls short of the
1O0-ton Armstrong guns which are being
manufactured for the Italian navy. The
Prussian gunmaker is not to be out
done; he is willing to make 124-ton
breech-loader il some nation will give
him chance. According to the Lon

You may look for another great

1t Is rising rapidly. The Big Horn
mountains will be the objective point.
There are already rumors of rich dis
coveries in that direction, but they are
not traceable to any authentic source.
I think the incipient excitement is
wholly based on the general opinion
that rich deposits exist there some
where, and In the general opinion I
concur. Eastern people are cautioned

PROHIBITION.

The .IFyas in its last issue makes
an argument against the Prohib'tory
Law based on the late report OF the
State Auditor. Accepting the figures
as given by the Argas, it has cost the
State s3S, 900 to prosecute liquor Of
fences. What is $4,000 to be COM
pared with the amount squandered
ON rum by the people of Vermont
each year? A contrast is made be-
tween this and the expense OF the
State Prison, the Insane Asylum, the
Reform School, &c. Ii is an estab-
lished fact that over fifty per cent of
the inmates of the three named instl-
tons are brought there by intemper-
anco, and, doubtless, at least the same
percentage of the cost of all criminal
prosecution can be charged to the ac-
count of rum. The matter of cost in
arguing any measure which proposes
to lessen the curse of rum, is hardly
worthy consideration, for, should 1t
run into the hundreds of thousands for
this small State, it would be a profit
able investment, provided it tended to
lessen the sale of rum one per cent
per year. One can base an argument
on the cost of the measure and lnfiu-
ence the minds of some, but the ques-
ton of prohibition, rests entirely on
the grounds of its efficiency in lessen
ing intemperance, for if it does that,
it does pay even at a cost ten times
what it amounts to now. AS to its
efficiency each may judge for himselfby
observation and the experience of
of states that have tried both the IL
cense and the prohibitory systems.
A large and intelligent majority of the
citizens of Vermont, forming their con-
clusions from those sources, prefer
prohibition. 1t does not entirely pre-
vent the improper sale and use of
liquors, nor does the law against theft
entirely prevent stealing. The Pro-
hibitory Law is slowly but surely ac-
complishing much for our State, and
the people should give it moral sup
port.

That school of free-t thinkers to which
George Eliot, the author of "Middle-
march" and "Daniel Deronda," be-
longs, and to which also belonged the
hero in the book "'Vashti," written so
grandly by Mrs. Evans, who reject
Revelation and christianity and believe
in an immortality that is much in ac-
cordance with the notions of Panthe-
lists, who scorn all idea Of a personal
conscious existence beyond the grave,
have received q well-merited rebuke
from the pen of Prof. Huxley, the
leading scientist of England. Hulk
s himself a materialist, and his
remarks come with much greater force
than they would from theologian.
One of these freethinkers has been
writing of the christians notion of a
personal Immortality, as a sensual and
selfish conception. In reply, Mr..
Huxley says that he fails to see the
sensuality and abaurdity of the chris
tan position. He also says:
sit is not worth while to have brok-
en- away, not without pain and grief,
from beliefs which, true or false, en-
body great and truthful conceptions,
to fall back into the arms of a half
breed between science and theology
endowed like most half breeds with
the faults of both parents and the vir-
tues of neither"
There are some grounds for a ma.
terialistic belief but the absurd notions
of immortality entertained by some
must be believed only by a severe eff
fort of will, since they have no reve
lation and so little consistency anc
FEASIBILITY upon which to rest. The
materialist combining his study ant
thought almost exclusively to matter
and finding that all material, animated
by life, decays, can easily lose sigh
of the spiritual and intellectual, ant
reasoning from his one sphere of OBJ
servation, deny immortality. Taking
man as whole, however, and study
ing mental and spiritual phenomena a
we'll as physical, the mind very easil,
reaches conclusion in harmony wit
Revelation.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used BosoHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to-
let its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu-
monia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use it with
out immediate relief. Three doses
will relieve any case, and we consider
it the duty of all Druggists to recon-
mend it to the poor dying consump-
tive, at least to try one bottle, as 49,
900 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was
reported. Such a medicine as the

An alarming and mysterious disease
has broken out among the COWS of
Harvey Wait, of Warren, five out of
his dairy of fifteen having already
died, two while they were in the pas
trre without any extra feed, and three
since they have been turned into fall
feed. Post mortem examinations have
been held, but they throw no light on
the mystery. Too much care cannot
be exercised in skinning creatures that
have died from unknown causes or in
making a post norton examination of
them. Some eight or ten years ago
Mr.. Bliss and his son of Georgia, VT,
lost several cows under the same cir
cumstances of those mentioned above.
They skinned them and were soon af-
ter both taken sick. The father, who
had made a slight cut on his finger
and thus brought his blood in contact
with the blood of the cows, died, and
the son, after long illness, recovered.
Two years ago, however, he was
taken sick with fever and the strange
developments Of the case led the ply
stefan to believe that his system was
still impregnated with the poison re-
ceiyed from contact with the dead
COWS.
