sooRN AND DEATH. !"

What popularity there is In the atmos-
phere surrounding the theatre and theatre
cal people which produces such startling
and dreadful effects upon the human mind,
no scientist has yet discovered The world
has grown 50 accustomed to eccentrlcity, not
to say enormity, as the fruit OF the stage
mania that people no longer inquire as to
the cause but find their time fully occupied
In observing the result. Indeed the large
majority even or these have long since ceased
to claim attention The young man who by
virtue of deep bass voice and curdlinK
scowl has Joined the local amateur Thes-
pang and thereby become terror and atllto-
ton to his family, ID scarcely noticed any

sorted idiots, OF the harmless though .rrl-
tating class, and 80 disposed OF. Similarly

out upon the surface of society like the
mango upon Scotchman, taking the form OF
oharades and parlor theatricals, ete.--simllar-
~, we say this dangerous and destructive
type Is no longer subjected to analysis. We
ourselves know-alas that we should have TO
say it youth with an inflamed nose and an
opallne eye, who has contracted the habit OF
pacing up and down his room, plucking at
his meagre fleece and belching gloomlest
tragedy by the block. He affects to be for
ever In communion with the darkest phan-
toms of the drama and to forget himself In
company and spout hexameters to unseen,
lowering things. This person, like the others
we have above described, Is lost In the multi
| tude OF minor idiots, and excites only the
passing anathema Of his fellow creatures.
But the stage atmosphere Is beginning to
produce darker effects. The mere idiot Is being
replaced by the raging maniac, and instead Of
the book Of fools there Is being opened to VI
the volume grand. epic, homicldal," In which
the movement Is sustained by many funerals
and the punctuation Is done with the blud
geon and the dagger. Folly and humbug and
all the milder forms Of the disease are being
obscured BY these looming forms with theii
blood stained hands and haggard eyes. Yet
science has made no effort to diagnose this
fever which the world Is beginning to recog-
nize as only the prelude to violence and MUIR

an assassin may plead having breathed the
atmosphere of theatre In patiiatton OF

1t makes considerable difference In some
sections as to who says things. When Blaine
said: "Vote for the men who fought for their
country" In Steubeville, o., the other day. there
was great outburst of popular enthusiasm
and applause. When a Democratic negro said
the same thing in Logan county, 1t required
great efforts to save him from lynching at the

Companions are odiOus." Mr. Record and
Farmer, and the more SO when they are false.
In its issue of last week the publishers of that
sheet made the claim that they furnish their
subscribers greater amount of eading mat
ter than the PHOENIX. The claim is false
The fact is that column in the PHOENIX con-
tains almost twice the number OF words con-
tanned in II column of the Record, and the
amount of reading matter in an average issue
of the Record would 60 into the reading col
umns of the PHOENIX and leave some two col
umns to spare. 1t was, no doubt, merely
through inadvertence that the publishers of
the Record, in Boosting its superiority, omit
ted to mention the fact--whch, however, is
quite apparent TO its readers-that more than
oue-third of the very choicc literary matter it
contains is made up of stale clcctrotype plates,
which 1t is the business of certain New York
parties to manufacture and peddle out to one
horse country newspaper publishers, and
which give paper the appearance and the
freshness of an ancestral scHp-book The
PHOENIX, on the contrary, is entirely home
made, stands upon its own bottom, and has
far greater facilities for furnishing its readers
with matter at once fresh, timely and impor-
tant (as witness the recent Presidents mes

man to take the floor and make an extended,

to answer Senator Conkling's speech on the
army bill several days ago and 10 arraign that

at the IL who was the legal adviser of the

impose upon the country the idea that Wash

that the purpose of the pending legislation il

Mr.. Hills speech was - justification of the
South in the Rebellion, and was such a bare,

sovereignty as spread dismay among the
Northern Democrats. He went so far bacl
in our history that he spoke Of United States
senators as the ambassadors in the senat,

The Part OF VermoAtI In the War for the
Union.

To the soldiers and sailors Of Vermont:
Under the action of the last Legislature. and
by appointment of the Governor, the under
signed has had committed to him the task Of
collecting and compiling ready for publica-
ton, history Of the part taken by the Yer
mont soldiers and sailors in the war of the re-
bellion."
This undertaking, delayed through years in
which the grave has covered the sources Of
much valuable information in regard to the
services Of our soldiers in the field, can nov
be only successfully computed through the ac-
tive cooperation Of the surviving veterans Of
the war. Their interest in it is second to that
no other class OF our people-it is r-emi-
nently Their atiair-the history is that which
they and their fallen comrades made-and
Mey chiefly must supply whatever can he ad-
ded to the already published record.
The State historian accordingly invites sol
diers and Sailors officers and privates of Yer
mont to send him such materials as they can
supply, in the shape of diaries or journals of
the service letters written at the time, de-
scrlptive of actions and important events adj
dluons to or corrections Of official reports
descriptions of incidents and accounts OF
movements and engag, ments, which may
furnish the facts needed for the complete and
connected record.
1t is Of course important that the infoTma-
ton so furnished be accurate and full that
1t be furnished in concise and methOdical
shape, and with Ms little delay as is consistent
with these requirements.
Any documents so sent will, if desired, be
preserved and returned in due time TO the
senders. G. G. BESEDIcr,
