The magnitude of the cattle raising in
this country is something that can
hardly be estimated, but the Land De-
partment Of the Union Pacific Railroad
is gathering facts which show its sur
prising growth. The shipments of cat
tie over that road this season will reach
10000, over 1905 having already
passed through Omaha, and these most
" from Nebraska. The best of the high,
grade beef cattle pass through direct to
Europe.

Bradstreefs reports 16s failures
throughout the United States and Canada
during the past week, which is an in-
crease of As over the record of the pre-
vious week, and the largest number re-
ported for any week of this year. The
increase was in New England and the
South and West NAM of the failures
are attributed to losses from speculation
and Overtrading, and in the South to the
effect of short crops and the consequent
difficulty in making collections.

The Lyndon Union says: There was
q regular stampede of rats from this
village last Monday night. Tracks
were noticed Tuesday morning leading
from every store and shop and nearly
very residence into the road. There
seemed to he two professions,
which moved down Chapel street. The
rats from the residences formed in pro-
cession ON their own side of the street,
and kept on down to the turn Of the
road In front Of Henry Chase's, while
the procession on the left side of the
street kept on toward Lyndon Center,
and that on the east side went toward
Lyndon Mills. Numerous tracks were
observed In the streets of Lyndonville
the same morning, but whether there
was an emigration or an immigration
could not be determined. But In this
village 1t was q general leaving. We
have often heard Of a stampede OF rats,
but never before had ocular proof of
the fact.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June %,

WASHINGTON, d. g., June %, 1881.
1t is expected that the crisis in th,
New York contest will occur sometime
this week. The balloting has proceed
ed so long that the members are becom.
ing worn out and anxious to do some.
thing or anything to adjourn and get to
their respective businesses. The out.
look now is that tho prominent candi-
dates, Messrs. Conkling, Plat and De-
pew will be dropped and that ex-Vice-
President Wheeler or Mr.. Rogers, on
the part of the "half Breeds" and Mr..
Lapham or Mr.. Crowley, on the part of
the "stalwarts," will. be elected. Cen
eral Grant is in New York city, but
dares not 90 to Albany. He confines
his efforts in Conkhng's behalft to news
paper talk in opposition to the admins
tration. Mr.. Wheeler is in Albany,
and a strong canvass in his behalf will
be made this week.
The return of Secretary Window last
week aroused storm ofcuriosity among
the newspaper men, and a demand was
at once made upon him to make lpublic
the report of the committee that inves-
tigated the irregularities in his depart
ment. The secretary refused because
the report was merely supplementary
and for his own information and guild
ance. lie came In for much abuse from
the press In consequence, but ii has been
ascertained since that the final report
will be made public. The secretary
discharged Mr.. Pitney, the custodian,
on Friday, and abolished his office. In
reality there is no warrant under the
law tor such an officer, and no appro.
priation is made for one, Pitney draw
ing his $4,000 year from the appro-
priation for the pay of the superintend-
ents and janitors. Tho duties of the of
flee will now devolve upon Chief Clerk
Power, and it is safe to presume that
no such doings will be allowed as flour
ished in Pitney's reign. 1t is thought
that other changes will occur ON the LIST
of July, though Assistant Secretary Up
ton will robably retain his position.
The War department is flooded with
for appointment as second
in the army from civil life.
They come in by hundreds daily. There
will be no appointments from civil life
this year, and probably none for sever
oil years. This is due to the provisions
Of the military appropriation bill of the |
past year. Under tho law the vacan-
cies must be filed; first from the grad
uating class of West Point; second,
from meritorious non-commissioned Of
Iicers of the army; third, from regular
graduates of the Military Academy who
have been honorably discharged from
he service, and fourth from civil life.
The first three returned classes are
more than sufficient TO fill vacancies oc-
;urring in the army from year TO year,
md it can be readily seen that the sue
'ess of an applicant from civil life is al
most impossible. MAXWELL.

Nor A COOP TME.-lt is worthy OF
note, that while Mr.. Conkling and q
few of his allies are doing what they
can at Albany to break down the Re.
publican party, President Garfield and
the leading men of his administration
are employing their time and ability in
the interests of public welfare and pub.
lie morals. The secretary of the treas
ury has made saving Of about S15,-
DOC, 900 annually in the interest account
by his refuncing operations. The SEQ
rotary of state has brought about set
Element of the Fortune Bay complioa-
ton with England. The postmaster
general has scattered the Star Route
ring and prepared the way for making
his department sclf-suIaining. The
attorney general is organizing a syste-
matte and aggressive prosecution of
the official thieves. And President
Garfield is backing up all these move
ments with the full power of his influ-
ence. Is this good time for Mr..
Conkling or anybody else to attempt to
break down the Republican party?-

Professor Rose Discusseth the Scarcity
OfGreat Men and the Remedy
therefor.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Yon said in your paper
that great men were rather scarce in
Burlington. That should be expected.
1t is said man is on the decline. Mr..
Whipple, of Boston, once said here, but
one in ten OF our young men could de-
velop themselves. Diilidence and
bashful reservcdness prevented. In
Massachusetts, they say they have ex-
pended much money in education but
there Is brain deficiency. 1t is said,
great mon are born not made. 1t Is
said, Middlebury has less great men
than smaller towns. Learning TO re-
peat lessons as the parrot says pretty
Polly, does not make greatness as many
think 1t does. 1t takes spunk and cxe-
cution to do. We must boar with
spunky boys. Mr.. Beecher says, the
mother who raises six spunky sons Is
fit TO be president of the United States.
Ii Is said too, there is no surplus of
great men. GEORGE RosE.
