ISLAND PoSD.--Careless correspondents having
in several instances located the Newark poisoning
calamity at the enterprising and thriving village
OF Island Pond the latter place gives suitable
defence in the Boston Journal, as follows; "a
recent account given in the New York Herald Of
the outbreak of the dphtheria in Newark, Vt,
does this place and the people here great in
justice, first by locating it here, whereas it is in
Newark, in another county, some twelve miles
away, on the opposite side OF a range OF noun
tains; second, by describing the sanitary condi-
ton OF this place as something terrible; whereas
the truth Is there is not healthier place in the
New England states, and the sanitary condition OF
the village Is as good as can be found in any viii
lage in the state, There is no diphtheria here mol
fevers OF any kind. The village is at an elevation
OF thirteen hundred feet above the level OF the
sea the dividing point or water shed into the At
lantic to the south, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence
to the north, and it has a noticeably pure and
braelng atmosphere. 1t is on the Grand Trunk
railway, half way from Portland to Montreal, sit
uated ON the shore Of beautiful pond, the water
supply OF which comes mostly from springs at the
bottom which makes the water pure and healthy
Nearly all water drank in the village comes from 1
large spring on the south side OF Bluff Mountain
and is carried in an aqGeduct to the village,

BosToN Journal "a prominent colored
citizen of this city is in receipt of letter
from friend in st. Louis, who is deeply in
terested in the exodus movement, stating
that within the last few days some one hun
bred emigrants had arrived in that city,
some of whom walked all the way from
Mississippi, and still they are coming. He
states that the only reason that there are moi
thousands in the city is that no steamboats,
will bring them for love or money. The
condition of many of them is deplorable
and the colored refugee relief board con
tinues its mission of love, mercy and hu
manity, and is in need of funds to help the
needy"

Coon FOR STOWE Miss Anna C. Bracket, in
the Springfield Republican, says good word for
our Mount Mansfield atmosphere. She says
"would you mind, for the benefit OF hay fever
sufferers, allowing to state that Stowe, Vt, at
the foot OF Mount Mansfield, is perfectly safe

whole surrounding country instead OF bearing the
appearance of poverty and hard struggle for

mountain air. and free from hay fever, one ought

WORTHY TRIBUTE.-In his Decoration
Day address Colonel T. W. Higginson said :
81 remember once hearing, at an anti.
slavery meeting, Wendell Phillips say of
Garrison May he not die till he has heard
the shouts of the liberated millions he has
helped to Free 1t sounded eloquent, but in
credible; it was as if man invited you to
visit him a hundred years from to-day.
Garrison has just died, full of years and
honors and his last words were plea, not
for slaves, but for free men; not for negro
as chained slave in Mississippi, but for a
free emigrant into Kansas. That every
American, black or white, may now go
where he pleases, you owe to the soldiers
whom you laid in these graves"

ASKING FOR MoRE.-The women of Massa-
chusetts-strange to say-are not satisfied
with the crumb of suffrage thrown to them
by the last legislature. Mrs. Livermore is
at the head of committee appointed by the
Massachusetts woman's temperance union
to draw up a petition that women be allowed
to vote on all questions pertaining to the
liquor traffic. The last legislature having
given them the right to vote on school
questions, perhaps the next may give them a
chance to vote on this matter that concerns
their happiness more directly than school af
fairs. The movement will be fought with
tooth and nail not only by the opponents OF
women suffrage in general, but by the allied
forces of the rum interest. Give women g
chance to vote on this question and there
would be no need of canvass to show how
majority of them would vote.

BULLDozrSG CoNFEssED.-The fact that
bulldozing actually exists in Louisiana, and
is meted out to obnoxious whites as well as
blacks, seems to be virtually confessed by
the New Orleans Times. 1t says: ave are
indeed sorry for certain country delegate
in the convention. He represents a hot re-
pudiation constituency, but unfortunately
for himself happens to have ideas of his own
on the debt question, not in line with those
of his intelligent constituents. Now, ideas
are dangerous things for country members
to have, and 80 Mr.. - has found out, for
it seems that few days ago he received a
letter from one of the big men OF his parish,
to the effect that if he did not change his
views, in a word, abandon and discard his
ideas, and go in tooth and nail for repudia.
ton, he would never be allowed to return
alive to the bosom of his family. And he
has an intimate knowledge of the character
of this leading citizen--knows him to be
handy with his shotgun, and man of his
word, as it were-hence he is sorrowful
Such is the folly of country delegates having
ideas of their own"

NEW York Herald; "Crow is dish
which almost everybody fingers over, and
the democrats are going to spend couple
of weeks, they say, over their boiled crow.
1t must be said, however, in extenuation,
that it is a very large bird they are sitting
down to. The legislative bill is to be re-
ported to the House on Friday 1t would
be easy to report and pass all three of the
proposed bills on that day, but it would not
be dignifed, and the democrats have got
nothing left now except their dignity. II

NICE DIsTINCTIoN.-A Washington cor
respondent thus describes the recent decora-
ton of the confederate graves at Arlington
"There were about one thousand persons,
half of them ladies, at Arlington to-day to
decorate the graves of the confederate dead.
The graves of each of the Union soldiers
who are buried there have headstone bear
ing the name, company, regiment and state
to which the fallen hero belonged. Over
the grave of each confederate, over two hun
dred in number, is a board on which is
painted the word rebel The participants
assembled in front of the old Lee mansion.
A prayer was offered by Rev. DIR. Cuthbert
and an Grafton was delivered by Representa-
tive Blackburn, who was introduced as a
Kentuckian, but grandson of Virginia.
Warned probably by the indiscreet utter
ances recently on similar occasion at Win
chester, Mr.. Blackburn was tamely patriotic
He spoke of the dead whose graves they had
assembled to decorate as rebels, but not
traitors and said that common flag now
waved over the dead as it waved over the
living"
