ADIEU 1877.

The year 1877 closes tonight. and we
turn over q pew page in the calendar of
time. The year that is now closing has
been fraught with blessings and abund-
ant mercies. So far as our own nation
and nearly ell civilized nations are con-
eerned. It has been year Of peace. The
war with the Indians, if it could be call
ed a war, ended with the defeat Of the
savages, and the restoration Of peace
within the territory occupied by them.
The exciting political crisis of 1876 has
closed peacefully and for the most part
tremendously.
Peace. harmony, and prosperity pre-
vail throughout this great nation. The
wounds and injuries occasiOned by the
war arc being healed and the country is
coming back to the condition Of quiet
aud healthfulness. Already the signs
Of improvement in business are seen, and
the seeming misfortunes Of the past
years are to be OutgrOwn and forgotten.
In the East frightfuI war prevails,
and the and 50 not y~A.--.Ali- 4Ls-e~ilo
Of ordinary warfare are multiplied by
the 6erceness and crueltles Of the contest
in Turkey. But the time seems to be
fast approaching when the stronger
power must prevail and peace be re.
stored. If out of the great conflict
there should rise better state of things
in that unfortunate region, the blood
and suffering may not have been in
vain. 1t cannot be expected but that
some of the regions tyrannized over by
the Moslem rule, will be blessed by the
defeat Of Turkey.
In our own communities and the ma.
ton, many have fallen by death whose
loss will be sadly felt. From the halls
Of congress. from the church desk, the
bench, from the field Of letters. from tn,
high and important places; from tn
places of business. as we'll as from tn
homes of thousands of the humble
the great. the good and the loved ar
gone. TIE waves of forgetfulness ar
rolling over their memories, and soon the
will be know only in the recollection
Of friends and kindred. But others ar
advancing to take their places, 90 far a
the labOrs. duties and responsibilities Q
life are concerned, and the world move
on as ever.
There are always sad reflections a
well as pleasing anticipatiOns when tn
old year dies and the new year come
to take its place. But in this bus
current Of life we have little time
mOralIze. but must move on to duty an
labor. If we have learned any thin
of good or of usefulness in the pa
year, we should profit by it; if We hay
made failures or mistakes we should II
to rectify them if we have been drift
ing away into sins and vices. this is
good time to make new resolutions an
new vows. Let each remember no
muni6cent have been the blessings
God. and render gratitude to Him
obedience and love.
We welcome the new year, and hol
it may be filed with blessings for a
our readers.

The BENNINGTON BATTLE MONUMENT

Monument Association publish state
ment. explaining that they have not yet
adopted or considered any plan or design
for monument, and will not consider
any officially except in conference with
the Governors of New Hampshire and
Massachusetts. Designs are premature
until it is certain how much the Associ.
alton will have at their disposal. 1t is
not the intention of the Association to
make any attempt at erecting a monu-
ment until sufficient money shall be in
their possession to erect and maintain a
monument which shall be worthy of the
three States initiating it and Of the great
event commemorated. The structure
will not be begun until the funds are in
hand to complete it. No debt will be
created, and no half.completed pile will
be left to attest the bad faith of the
Association. A volume will soon be
published by the Association containing
detailed account of the centennial OBJ
servances. 1t will be copiously illustra.
ted and will contain large amount Of
historical matter, in addition to the ad-

the northern shore of Siberia. He has
lust returned from the Jenisei and Obi
rivers in Siberia, and reports that route
as practicable to the North Pole, with
an open sea all the way. He at once
tickles the enthusiasm of the CONNER
cial world, and arouses anew the thirst
for discovery in scientific circles. Prof.
ably the business interests will be the
first to be practically considered. In
fact, it will be better for science, if it
wishes to attack the North Pole problem
from this direction, to have commercial
enterprises procede it. as in that way
both interests will be looked after in
natural and legitimate manner. Accord
ing to Capt. Wiggins's log, it is only
fifteen days from the Jenlsei river to
London, and by establishing line of
trading steamers there can be opened

He represents that seven tons of gold
were taken from one mine this year, and
that Russia has made quite beginning
in opening up this commerce to the
world. But as a more favorable spo
than has yet been found for the equip

sess special interest for many; and j

FEARFUL FIGUREs.-The Commission
er of Internal Revenue reports that there
were four thousand FIVE hundred and ten
distilleries in full operation in the Unit
ed States during last year. The taxes
on distilled spirits reached S57 ,469 ,429,
in increase of more than million dol
lars. The collections on tobacco foot
up Sll,l06,5 46, an increase of 81 ,3ll,-
2O7. The revenue from tobacco is the
largest every received in any one. year.
The income on cigars fell off sl7O.32S,
while that on cigarettes shows an in
crease of $l2i,925. These figures indi-
cate that however dull and depressing
some branches of business are, there is
no difficulty in getting money for whis-
key and tobacco. They also show thai
temperance reformers and anti-tobaccc
advocates are not likely soon to be out
of work if their efforts cease only witt

RECEPTION OF osMAN PAsHA,

A correspondent at Pl evna telegraphs
the following concerning Osman Pasha's
reception by the Russians: The Grand
Duke Nicholas rode up to Osman's car
riage, and for some seconds the two
chiefs gazed into each others faces with
out the utterance of a word. Then the
Grand Duke stretched ont his hand,
shook the band Of Oolnau Pasha heartily
and said: Il compliment you on your
defence of Pleyna. 1t is one of the
most splendid military feats in history"
Osman smiled sadly. rose painfully to
his feet, in spite of his wound, and said
something which could not hear. He
then re-seated himself. The Russian
officers all cried, Bravo - bravo %
repeatedly. and all saluted respectfully.
There was not one among them who did
not gaze on the hero of Plevna with the
greatest admiration and sympathy.
Prince Charles of Roumania, who had
arrived, rode up and repeated unwill-
ingly almost every word of the Grand
Duke, and likewise shook hands with
Osman, who again arose and bowed, this
time in grim silence. at is a grand
face" exclaimed Col. Gaillard. the
French military attache. Il was al
most afraid of seeing him lest my ex-
pectation should be disappointed; but
he more than fulfils my ideal" ut is
the fall of great military chieftain, =
said young Skobeleff. Il am glad to
have seen him. Osman Ghazi he is,
and Osman the Victorious he will re.
main in spite of his surrender" Osman
wore loose blue cloak, with no appar.
ent mark on it to designate his rank
and red fez. He is a large strongly
built man. The lower part of his face
is covered with short, black beard
without streak of gray. and he has /:
large Roman nose and black eyes.

At recent silver meeting in Toledo,
O., the resolutions called for the silver
dollar with unlimited legal tender and
free coinage, and for theI repeal of the
Resumption act. Here is tangle of
financial imbecilities rather remarkable
even for Ohio. The doctrine that any,
body can make money out of anything
is truly running the cheap money idea
into the ground and burying it with a
rich profusion of folly. Not satisfied
with cheapening what they are pleased
to call coin. they want rags in addition
that are not redeemable even in debased
specie. Copper coin has been used for
the reductio ad absurdum of this theory,
but it would not be more absurd to ask
for copper dollars than it was to put
forth the demand made at Toledo.

The frst annual report of the internal
commerce Of the United States, lately
published. states that the value of the
railroads of the country, is about TWEEN
ty-three times the value of the shipping
engaged in our foreign commerce; that
the value Of our internal commerce is
twenty-five times the value of our for
eign commerce that eighty-seven per
cent, of the grain shipped from the
West to the seaboard during the last
year was transported on rail lines and
that over ninety per cent of the entire
internal commerce of the country is on
the railroads. Although the coutribu-
tions of the government to the close of
the year 1876, in aid of railroad con-
struction amounted to $l44, 000,o 900,
embracing land grants and subsidies to
the Pacific railroads, yet this sum is
only three per cent of the entire cost Of
the railroad system of the United States

hours, having seven minutes to spare.
The walk began at 1896 a. M. and
ended at 1928 p. m. At the close Miss
