Public Opinion.

The growing cause is the cause of re-
form. The day of its triumph is assur-
ed, and it Will triumph through that
party which most faithfully, most con-
stantly, and most courageously, in
power and out of power, stands up to
the wOrk.-BostOn Herald (Ind)
The proposal to read the President
out of the Republican party for making
an effort to carry out the principles OF
the platform upon which he was elected
is the most conspicuous example OF
monumental "cheek" in recent politics
-Cleceland Herald (Rep.)
In all our acquaintance we hardly
know Republican that heartily in
dorses the policies of the Admiuistra-
ton. Republican sentiment stands by
the old party leaders, and they will
continue to stand there, no matter what
may become of the Administration
St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald (Rep.J
The President is said to believe that
the Republicans in Congress will be
have hitherto been. They seemed to
be pretty well united before the recess,
if the votes in the Senate were any in
dicatiOn thereof.-ROcheSter Democrat
(Rep.)
The talk of certain Republicans of
driving Hayes into the Democratic
party Is prep0sterOus. There is no room
for him i'll the Democratic camp. But
it is the interest of the Democracy to
make the President Independent of Re-
publican support, and to give him free
dom to carry out bis avowed policies
Buffalo Courier (Dem.).
The movement by New York bank
officers on Saturday, looking to a formal
protest by the clearing house associa-
lions of New York and other cities in
opposition to the Bland Silver Bill, was
wise and timely. Boston will make a
prompt and decided response to the APP
peal made to her, and there is every
reason to believe that other cities will
equally do their duty. The New Or
leans clearinghouse Association even
anticipated the New York movement,
and has, in an admirable series of reso-
lutions, recorded its protest against the
Bland Bill. IT there is solvent bank
or trust company in the United States
that looks with favor upon this infamous
bill, 1t has not permitted the world to
know OF It's dissent from the apparently
entire unanimity of it's sister institn,
tions,-Boston Advertiser (Rep.)
Editor Moore of the Nashua Tele-
graph has reason to be satisfied with
the way in which the republicans of his
city follow his advice on the question
OF Hayes VS. Chandler. This is sam
pie of the resolutions passed in several
OF the wards: ''ResOlved, That the
course pursued by President HAYES
since his Inauguration confirms our con-
fidence in his integrity, wisdom and
patriotism, and we rejoice in his firm
and unyielding determination to ad
minister his department of the govern
ment in accordance with the pledges
made by the republican party at Gin
cinnati and reiterated in his letter of
acceptance"
Our own opinion is that the republi-
can party could get along verv well
without king Conkling but would con
tInue to fare badly with him in the lead
ership.-PrOUidence Star.
The conviction comes back TO tbs
people that Hayes is working quietly
and conscientiously for the good of the
country, and that his enemies are work

In open ground New Years day, and

Against the demonstration of Silver.

A meeting of representatives of the
% banks in the New York clearing
house on Saturday appointed "A commit
tee, headed by George 5. COe, to pro-
pose decisive action against the remon-
etization of silver, at a meeting on
Wednesday, when the bankmen and
tinanciers of other eastern cities are in
vited to take part. The following resO-
luton was adopted:
Resolved, That in view of the bill
now under consideration in Congress,
which proposes in effect to supersede
the existing laws requiring the redemp-
ton of the legal-tender notes in gold
coin on and after the LIST of January,
1879, by making the silver dollar of
4l23 grains the legal standard for the
payment of all debts and the measure
of commercial operations in the United
States, it is the duty of bank officers to
seriously inquire what effect so impOr-
tant Il change i'll the circulatOry medium
will have upon the conduct of general
buttons under their charge, and what
practical measures, if any, can he adopt
ed to preserve their various trusts from
the serious decline which will inevitably
follow the passage of the bill in ques-
ton.

Death of George R. Chapman.

A dispatch from ntpelierannounces
the sad intelligence that George R.
Chapman, ESQ.,, clerk of the Vermont
House of Representatives and states
attorney for Addison county, died at
half past eight O'Clock Friday morning.
Mr.. Chapman, it will be remembered,
went to Montpelier the latter part of
November, with his wife, to visit her
relatives, and was taken sick with ty-
phoid fever, from which he had partial
y recovered, when a relapse occurred
IN consequence of some little impru-
dence in diet so natural to fever con-
valescent; and he was so reduced by
this second attack that he was unable
to rally. Mr.. Chapman was born in
Lincoln, Addison County, March 3,
1949. Nh. Chapman was married in
June last, to the youngest daughter of
Erastus Camp, Esq, of Montpelier
an estimable and accomplished lady,
who, with his mother and sister resid-
ing in the West, are left to mourn his
early death, and they will have the
heartfelt sympathy of hundreds
throughout the State in their great be-
reavement.

But nowl
SHE Is SPOILED FOR EVERYTHING,
she will fly her round, filter away

There are hundreds of women,
the current of whose lives have been
turned by the veering winds and
treacherous sandbars along this

They can't stand it. They have moi
independence enough to stand ur
and carry on an ideal life which
would satisfy their thirsting minds
and elevate their souls. They are moi
bad, nor really weak, but they drift
into the sameness and meaningless

not strike out a straight line fol

The PeeuiIaritiss OF Bertha Won
AiIlern, the Female Pedestrian.
Cincinnati Commorcial.l
WASHINGTON, January 29.-We
saw this little woman finish her
walk of eighty-nine miles in twen-
ty-six hours, without sleep. She
walked the first heat from eight
O'Clock at night till about five next
morning, without stopping. Then
with a few minutes rest, twice, she
continued the walk, and finished
the walk nine minutes before the
specified time, ten o'clock. She is
making money, too. There is no
doubt of that. She will not walk
for wager or in competitor. She
receives challenges to walk matches
every week, but will accept none.
She seems to arouse in women sort
of infatuation to go ON the tramp,
wherever she travels. A club of
ladies has already been started here
in Washington for walking expedi-
tions. Ladies, wherever Bertha
goes, begin to straighteR themselves
up, and to feel the muscles of the
calves Of their legs.
When not on the track, Bertha
Won Hillern lives and eats and
dresses like other people, with a few
exceptions. She sets her face like
iron against alcoholic stimulants,
sweet things, and pastry. She will
not even let her agent rub whisky
inside her shoes to keep her feet
from swelling, for fear people will
smell the whisky and think she is
tippler. Rare beef, vegetables,
oatmeal, and plain, solid food form
the "chief of her diet" like that of
the little old man who would never
be quiet. Alter finishing one of
her public walks she goes to bed
and drops asleep at once. Toward
morning, about three or four o'clock,
her maid awakens her, and walks
her about her room little time, to
keep her limbs from becoming stiff.
After one of her severe walks she
suffers somewhat from what are
technically called walking
cramps" which are pains around
the knee. joints. To alleviate this
her legs are rubbed with salt apd
water.
Physically there is nothing alb
normal or startling ahopt ber, She
weighs one hundred and ten
pounds, is rather below Medium
hight and has the face WHICH, after
all, is the best for steady wear in
tbis world-a face which would not
be noticed for being handsome or
homely. Her hair Is very heavy,
and Of the fashionable blonde gold
color, She would like to wear it
cut short, but 0utof regard to peo-
pies prejudiees, wears it long.

The question of American vines
that is, of cepages which resist
the phylloxera and their direct pro.
duction, or, as stock CRAFTS for the
non.resisting French vine = has
been much discussed there lately.
AS a direct produce, the jacques,
ETC., has proved its excellence
against the attack of the phyllox-
era, which, in the Bordeaux and
the Roquemare regions, are partic-
ularly devastating. In Montpellia
and other places, where the phyllox-
era has made its appearance, trials
of the American vines should be
made at once, so as to select the
best for that region. 1t must be
remembered that most Of the Ameri-
can vines are absolutely proof
against the phylloxeras, and those
which fail in France do 80 because
OF the condition OF the soil. In
the most infected parts Of the
Herault District" whore Ameri-
can vines were introduced three
years ago, they have acquired a lux
urious vegetation, etc. BY our
foreign adgiles Of tbe 2Sth of JAM
nary, the phylloXera in Germany
and France are gaining ground ev-
cry day.

boxes. The steamer last week took
