NON RESIDENT SCHOLARS.


The attention of teachers and dis
trict clerks is called to the change in
the law in regard to non resident
scholars. In the registers, until this
year, teachers were directed to place
non resident scholars and scholars
over twenty years of age on sepa-
rate page from other scholars resident
of that district, as public money could
be drawn only for the attendance of
the latter. The reason for this omis-
sion may be seen by comparing the
acts of the last legislature with the
general statutes. The general stat
utes, section 83, chapter %, made
provision that part of the public
money should be divided sin proper
ton to the aggregate attendance of
the scholars of such district, between
the ages of five and twenty, upon the
schools of the district during the pre-
ceeding school year. Act No. "a,
1880, omitted the words s'of such dis
trict' after "scholars," so that dis
tricts are to receive public money this
year ON the aggregate attendance of
all scholars between the ages of five
and twenty, whether they are resident
of such district or not. w. F. G..

THE CENTURY AND ST. MICH
OLAS-THEIR RECENT
GROWTH IN
ENGLAND.

The Century magazine may now be con-
sidered fnlly started on its way under the
new name, and, with the forthcoming
midwinter number, which will have the
new cover design by Elihu Vedder, the
name ''Scribner's Monthly" is to be drop
ped as a subtitle. Its issues, since the
change was made, have been commended
by the press everywhere as of rare beauty
and interest. The November number was
said by the Providence Journal to be "the
most able and valuable publication ever
put forth in magazine FORM while the
Press pronounced it ''unquestionably the
most brilliant and striking. as it is the
largest and most sumptuous, of anything
yet known in American or European peri
odical literature" The Springfield Re
publican called the December number,
'sfor personal portraiture and biography,
the richest single number ever made by
magazine" The ~ Y. Observer consid-
ers the January Century San ideal num-
ber." The Charleston Netes and Courier,
when the change in name was made, de-
clared that it would ''be difficult to i'm
prove on Scrfbner's, already the first and
best of American magazines" But the
Graphic On. Y. recently said, ''Take it
all in all, The Century is already better
magazine than Scribner's ever was" and
this is the general verdict. The increas-
/ ed excellence is not due to the change of
name; it is only the natural growth of
the magazine, made more conspicuous by
/ the change,
With this growing excellence has come

THE youngest VOL
UNTEER."

The following from the Free Press,
which has been looking up the re-
cords, would seem to settle the ques-
ton in favor of Henry Davenport of
Irasburgh: "The Barton Monitor
puts in claim to the distinction Of
being the youngest VT, volunteer,
for Henry D. Davenport of Irasburgh
who was born Oct. 6, 1850, was mus
tered into the service of the Z. S.,
as drummer of Co. H., of the Sixth
Vermont Volunteers, he being then
just eleven years and ten days old.
He was son of Capt. David B. Dav-
EXPORT, captain of that company, who
was wounded at Lees mills, and died
in the hospital at Alexandria, nursed
by his boy Henry. The boys moth
er then procured his discharge; but
he re-enlisted as drummer of Co. c.,
of the Seventh Vermont. He was
thus in the same regiment with "Jim-
my Randall, who has been claimed
as the youngest Vermont volunteer,
and was then several months young
er, and the Monitor says was half a
head shorter than young Randall.
The tables in Adjutant General
Washburn's report for 1864, confirm
the statements as to young Daven-
ports enlistment and age; and I'M
less some younger youngster puts in
claim, which is not very likely to
happen, he will stand on the record
as the youngest of the Vt. volunteers
in the war for the Union.'

LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
Especial Correspondence Ofthe Monitor

lSpecialC0freSp0nuenc oil the MONITOR
Neao York, Jan. Is, 1882.
For some reason or another that
section of New York known as Brook
Ign, sometimes furnishes more news
of the readable variety than old Co.
than itself. Brooklynites affect to
be annoyed when people talk of their
occupying-in sailor talk-a stand
ing bedplace for the big city where
they make their money, but it is
bound to be corporately annexed
some day as it is already in every
other respect. The only reason APP
parently for keeping them apart now
is to give employment to an unneces-
sary duplicate set of servants of the
people-two mayors, two bosses, a
douple supply of assistant bosses,
etc., etc. One, of course, in such
conditions rides behind the other, and
Brooklyn usually forms the tail of the
kite. New York has model mayor,
Brooklyn must have one too-a very
good, not to say goody, Sunday
school young man, with the beauti-
fullest second hand ideas. For min
gled hard work and downright lazi-
ness favored with the readiest elo-
quence New York can't beat Beecher,
and now it seems she can't beat her
in the matter of aldermen either
The venerable mantle of Tweed has
been divided among the Brooklynites,
and seventeen of the newly-made ex-
city fathers have been hauled up for
sanctioning big elevated railroad
steal in contempt of an injunction.
1t is to be sincerely hoped the rascals
will be roundly fined and imprisoned,
and Pm sorry we can't have them
soundly whipped too.
Brooklyn is worth few million as
manufacturing city, though people
hardly think of it in that connection.
Among other gigantic enterprises it
finds room for the largest sugar refn-
cry in the world, that of the Have
meyers. Their principal building,
fire-proof of course, was burnt last
Sunday, and 5000 workmen in mid
winter have been thrown out. The
proprietors are insured, as all prud-
ent business men are, but what insur-
ance company ever insured the wages
of employees? Once upon time, "be-
fore de wah," it was the proud boast
of our people that every honest man
willing to work could find his daily
bread, and something over, in this
promised laud. There were not a
great many very rich people in those
days, and there were no poor ones
who didn't deserve their poverty.
Some statesman might get his name
up by enabling Uncle Sam to resume
such insurance business.
More of the militia have been dis
