Vermont has contributed some very chi
nent names to the neurology of the year.
Foremost among them is that of George Per-
kius Marsh, one of tie most eminent scholars
of the nineteenth century and following are
John Pcrpoin, the horored and beloved
Chief Justice of our Supreme Court L. w.
Stoughton, cx-Ministcr to Russia Prof. X.
ID. c. Robbins, the widely known scholar;
Col. W. r. Nichols and Col. John Il. Pratt,
distinguished officers in the civil war Burn
ham Martin Simeon Parmacc, the ocntcn-
arian Clergyman Rev. A. T. living, the
missionary worker; and Trenor W. Park,
who took the first rank among men of affairs.
Distinguished names difficult of classifca-
ton are Giuseppe Garibaldi, the liberator of
Italy; Michael Skobeleif, who, if years and
opportunity had been granted him, would
have ranked as soldier with Julius Caesar
and Napoleon Bonaparte Sid Mohammed-
el-Sllok, Bey Of Tunis Fanny Parnell
the widow of Abraham Lincoln; and the
widow of Daniel Webster.
Truly, Death has rcaped rich harvest,
this year! The old names are fast disap-
pcarng, and we are coming into new
world--a world that seems strange enough,
without the familiar presence of the great
men whose names we have gwen.

The CIVIL SERVICE BILL.

The prospect for the passage of the civil
service bill which bears Senator Pendleton'
name but which was really drawn up by that
well.known Nermonter Dorman b. Eaton,
is not quite so encouraging as might be wish
cd. The conditions, Indeed, are not partic-
ularly favorable, for the closing days of a
Congress the great ma ority of whose MEM
bcls have failed of reelection are a bad time
for the consideration and perfection Of legis-
lation Of such magnitude and Importance.
Then again, great number Of the present
Senators and Representatives are not in
favor of the principle of the bill at all, but
are forced into perfunctory support of it
by the pressure of public sentiment (;
and from such men, as the debate
in the Senate showed, but little help
can he expected Thus Senator Noor-
Lces offered an amendment providing
that the candidates for positions as members

A Prisoner FeIgns Death 20 Secure
his Liberty, but is Detected.
They were going to have funeral
from the Jail at Greensboro, Georgia.
The death of an elderly colored person
was announced. He had been serving
part of term for burglary. He Was
found stiff, if not very cold, on his cot
on recent morning, and the other in
mates of the Jail, both white and black,
set up dismal chart, to the effect that
"poor Tommy died tore de day." A
coffin was made ready for the funeral,
which was to take place in the after
noon. Owing to the fact that "pooI
Tommy" was not very distinguished
person the body was not placed on ice,
nor were any elaborate preparations
made for the tomb. Shortly before the
time appointed for the burial service a
youthful negro walked up to the corpse
and was surprised to see it wink one
eye. This scared the boy, who ran
away bowling to the prison officials
that this was the queesest corpse ne
had ever seen. Then the Sheriff sent
for the doctor, who came and shook
hands with the deceased" in such a
forcible, persuasive manner as to make
him writhe with pain. Having pro-
duced this unusual effect, the doctor
punched him in the lower ribs, where
most people are ticklish. This had the
effect of showing that the funeral might
be indefinitely postponed and the coffin
kept for much deader subject than
this ingenious burglar, The corpse sat
up in the coffin and wildly glared
around, pretending that he had just re-
covered from q trance. The doctor told
him that this was too thin, whereupon
he confessed the trick. He had the
power of making himself appear as If
dead. He had made use of this power,
hoping thai when laid out for burial
tt 9 door of the cell would be opened so
that he could rise and run away. The
funeral will not take place at present,
and he will serve out the remainder OF
his term.
