very suddenly they were all missing and
have never been seen since 1t was thought
they had got killed in some manner; but
perhaps they have only emigrated to Clarke

and in particular, we have to thank Capt.
Troup for adding largely to our enjoyment

SHADE TREEs.-Shade trees are often
planted too near to dwellings and too
thickly. so as to make the house dark, damp
and cherries, and such instances are very
frequent in this city. Large evergreens are
very much out of place on the sunny side of
a house, while they form an appropriate
screen and wind break along the cold and
exposed side of our buildings. Set out
trees-;t is duty; but set them out judci-

house at Goldendale; the court house is to

the mouth Of the klickitat river up the

GOOD THING.-A bell, hung in the tree,
is the latest device contrived for keeping
the birds from taking more than their share
of cherries. A string leads from the clap
per of the bell through the window into the
house, thus allowing woman to do her
work, and besides, by occasionally jerking
the string to scare the marauding birds
from her own, over to her neighbours prem
ises.

THE PARK.-Much work is being done
this month to perfect the park. The foun-
tain has been neatly fenced in, and the fence
painted. Besides the drives, walks have
been graded in various directions. Many
trees have been taken out where they were
too thick, and the balance well trimmed. 1t
is fast becoming the most beautiful and at
tractive shady spot on the Pacific coast, and
would be a credit to any of our cities.

In reference TO the main question
the present antagonism between la
Dor and capital, where there ought to
be none in the nature of things, let us
not shut our eyes to plain facts. This
country already has some history
written. Pain denotes disease some
where. And l believe that the machin-
cry Of this government needs to-day
not to he maize more cumbrous and
more heavy, but to he propelled on
occasion with more energy and de.
acknowledgements more wheels, but
more steam. Scranton and Pitts
burgh in the summer of 1877 ought
to show us this. To-day we all ac-
knowledge that the relations Of Capt.
tai and Labor are violently agitated,
as | believe no. because those inter-
ests are weak for the lack of law, but
because staggering ulder the burden

possible, 10 act as agent for the sale
Of the article in that vicinity, and the
victim is requested to sign a paper ac-
cepting The agency. Many tolerably
bright farmers and business men are
influenced into signing the paper, on
ly to find Il few days after, that they
have signed an order for a large
amount of worthless aad unstable
trash at fixed price, which they are
forced to pay. j have now in mind
seven parties who have compromised
with these swin1lers by paying from
500 to $500 each. One farmer who
by the way, would neither buy nor ac-
cept an agency, was requested to dis
tribute a few e,renlars for them among
his neighhors. He gave them his
name on a blank piece Of PAPER, at
their request, and few days thereaf-
ter there came, in place o. the circu-
lars, thirty odd volumes OF book
called the Farmers Comprehensive
Diary and man who presented a

er's order. He declined paying the
bill, and was ut once served with Il
supreme court writ, answerable at
Syracuse. fifty miles distant, In one
other instance a farmer gave his order
for one farm BELL" for which he was
to pay So. In few days he found
at his railroad station one hundred
bells, and the inevitable man with the
order and bill soon presented himself,
very easy to be seen that the order
had been enlarged from one to one
hundred, and the bill from S. TO S. 10.
In conclu sion, let me say to the farm
ers who read the New York Times
that the rafe SvaS, and the only safe
way, is to refuse these men any agen-
cy or sign any paper; and if the man
is not too large man, it would make
things a little saIer, and decidedly
better every way, to help him into the

VERMONT SAVINGS BANKS.

There are no better savings banks
10 the country than those OF vt. Not
a failure has occurred among them for
many years, and even in the severe
tests of the past year or two, they
have stood firmly, paying their divi-
dends and making comparatively few
losses. But if they have been secure
In the past, they are more likely to be
SO in the future. The recent changes
in the law respecting their manage
ment and taxation will tend to aug
mcnt their safety for depositors, to
equaiize taxation and TO encourage
deposits. Under the new act, all the
officers Of the bank are required to be
put on oath of fidelity to their trust,
at the outset. The trustees are to
meet as often as once in three
months, and examine the treasurcr's
account, which is to be made up as Of
ten as once month; aud once in six
months they are required TO make a
thorough examination OF all the liabil-
tiles Of the corporation, They are all
solutely prohibited from borrowing or
using any of the banks funds for their
own benefit. The treasurer is requir-
ed to give ample bonds for the faith
full performance of bis duty, and to
report on or before the 10th Of July in
each year to the Inspector of Finance,
showing accurately the condition
thereof in all particulars that can af-
feet the interests of dcpositors and the
safety of the institution. No deposits
exceeding two thousand dollars can be
received from one individual, except
in case Of widows, orphans, admins
traitors, etc. In regard to invest
ments and loans, tn c trustees are re-
strcted to the most safe and perma-
nent securities, and are prohibited
from wildcat loans for speculation, or
any other similar purpose, to the haz j.
ard of the Institution. Moreover, a
safety fund surplus, of ten per cent of
DEPOSITS, is to be maintained and kept
for use in case OF failures and sudden
and unforeseen emergencies. In
short, every practicable requirement is
made by the new law for the security
Of depositors, both as TO the deposits
and the amount and regularity and
certainty of the interest thereof. As
to taxation, the Banks, and not dcpos-
itors, pay one half Of one per cent per
annum, and the State Treasurer ap.
portions the receipts Of taxes to the
several towns in which the depositors
reside. The new act imposes special
responsibilities upon the officers of
the Banks, and they will, no doubt,
find that they have something more to
do than barely to meet once year,
and have a pleasant talk over matters
in general. - Windsor Journal

Senator Edmunds did a good thing
the other day in introducing his reso-
Tuition declaring the validity of the
thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth
amendments to the constitution, and
asserting the "right and duty Of Con-
gress to enforce said amendments and
to protect every citizen in the exercise
of all the rights thereby secured by
laws of the general character already
passed for that purpose, and by fur
Their appropriate legislation so far as
such enforcement end protection are
not secured BY existing laws and
that it is the duty OF the executive de-
partmcnt of the government faithfully
and with diligence to carry ,lsuah law
into impartial execution, and Of Con-
grcss to appropriate all moneys need
full to that end" The resolutions de-
Glaze more specifically ''that it is the
duty Of Congress to provide by law
for the full and impartial protection
of all citizens of the United States,
legally qualified, in the right to vote
for Representatives in Congress and
to this end the committee on the ju-
dietary be, and hereby IS, instructed
to prepare and report, as soon as may
be, a bill for the protection Of such
rights, and the punishment of infrac-
tions thereof" These resolutions,
which Will be called up soon, will
give the democrats Of the Senate a
chance to show their hands on the
subject Of national protection for vot-
els in casting their ballots for officers
deriving t,cir authority from the NJ
ton. No plea OF state rights can be
interposed on an objection TO this
proposition, nor can it he objected to
upon the ground that it uplifts the
"bloody shirt" Mr.. Edmunds' re-
port upon his resolutions, as chairman
of the judiciary committee, will be
such an exposition Of constitutional
law as few other men IN the country
are able to make Wdtchman and
