IT, Washington correspondent ct the
New OH ans Tm"~ furnishes that journal
with Information Of the frt that the
Greenbackcrs in Congress, except one W
two who have gone directly over To the
Democrats, have made an alliance with
the Republicans and viii "ote with them
against the repeal of the law, so ohuoX ;ous
TO the people aud which were sought 10 Ice
repealed at the regular session. What
special purpose the Grconhachcrs have in
view by this strange action We can't tell.
In the South none but their recruits from
the Radicals can be found TO defend such
policy. The n. o. Democrat declares
that the coalition will be a failure, a, the
Democrats have majority over all, and
can pass either in separate bill or on the
appropriation bills these repeats 1t will
be Q grievous blow to Grcenbackers in
many parts of the country to learn that
their friends and leaders have united
with the Radicals TO perpetuate the most
partisan legislation of the Republican
party.

WELLINGTON AND OTHER MOUNTAINS.
In reference to mention of ours, the
other day, that Killington Peak is 1924
feet above the level of the sea, an es-
teemed correspondent writes us /;
"Prof. Gnyot found the height of Kill
ington TO be 4 ,22l feet. See Geology of
Vermont, p. SS4. Hon. Hosea Doton by
a series of levels finished since Guyots
result was published found the height of
Killington to be 4,22l feet. For
Doton's method see Geology of Yer
mont, p. S87. Last summer went on
Killington and while there was told by
the gentleman In charge of the Signal
Service Station that by observation of
the Signal Service the height had been
'ound to be 1921 feet. l have forgot
ten tho inches given lin the several
cases. The measurements most wide-
~ apart differed by less than two feet.
Shall we not say then that Killington
Peak is 4,22l feet above the level of the
sea-"
In this connection il may be worth
while to reprint the table of heights of
some Vermont mountains, the figures
being taken from Halls Geography of
Vermont: Mansfield, 1889 feet; KILL
ington Peak. 4,22l feet: Cancels
Hump 1888 feet, Jay Peak, 4,Ols feet.
