The Burlington Free Press thinks that Col
lector Beard of Boston can hardly claim pa
tent on his civil service regulations. The
Vermont Custom House, under Collector
Wells, has been administered much in the
same way, and so before Mr.. Beard was made
collector. In the Vermont District, appoint
ments are made upon careful personal scru-
tiny and promotions are based upon competi-
tive serOice rather than competitive examina-
tons. The Vermont Custom House is not
mating conventions, and its employees are not
controlled in their political action. 1t is run
on sound business principles, and managed
with thorough honesty as we'll as capacity.

The place here is found to have lost none
of its former attractions. Upon it, during
the past year, have been expended large
sums by way of improvements.
By reason of some trouble about owner

the present proprietor had nothing to do,
the season opens late. This, how
ever, is a matter which can
effect the proprietor only, and
can not lessen the advantages occurring to
those who may attend the springs.
The proprietor, Mr.. Frank G. Martindale,
by the display of great energy, in the short
time allotted to him since assuming control,
has placed things in readiness or at least
will very soon have them so, to receive all
who may favor him with a call, and treat
