Breakfast at Windsor.

There is an excellent billiard
room at Windsor where smoking is
allowed and drinks to be obtained.
The idea that the regulations as to
smoking. are of incOnYenient
stringency is quite illusory. There
are smoking rooms, not merely for
the household and guests, but for
the upper and ordinary servants. 1t
is impossible to grant liberty to
guests to smoke in their rooms, as
the next person might dislike the
smell. and after a nights occupa-
ton by some Of the German visi-
tors, one would find an atmosphere
capable of curing a Westphalian
ham. Ia the morning there is daily
services at 9 o'clock in the private
chapel, conducted by the Dean of
Windsor, but as visitors are ex-
pected to leave by the II o'clock
train, they have quite enough to do
to get their breakfast comfortably,
unless they are very early. There
are two breakfast tables going on,
and the meal can be obtained in
ones room if wished. 1t is etiquette
that the Queen invariably break
fasts alone, or only with persons of
the blood royal, so that the visitors
intercourse with Her Majesty is
confined to greeting before dinner,
a chance observation during the
meal, and few minutes of CONVEX
satiOn in the corridor after it

which case you may be honored
with a private audience in the

Knew She Would Come.

One OF the most touching stories
Dickens ever wrote was that OF poor
Little Emily" It is hard for most
of US to keep back the tears when We
read of her wsnderings in foreign
lands, and of how Mr.. Pegotty never
gave her up. but sought ner every
where until he found her and saved
her. Just such things constantly are
happening in real life. Here is a
story OF q young Scotch girl who was
led into sin, perhaps by the example
OF some OF her companions, and
leaving her home went to London:
One day while proceeding along the
street, she came by a church and
heard the congregation singing az
old tune she knew we'll. She paused
a moment, and while listening a sud-
den vision came to her of the home
che had left, her father and mother,
the quiet village and the simple and
pure life that once had been bers.
A longing swept through her heart
just to creep over the threshold of
home once more and sit at mothers
feet; even if it was in Gin and shame,
and she brought disgrace bone with
her-mother was there, and iCrgiTe-
ness and love were there.
So she travelled the long distance to
the little village. She felt that she
must not be seen by the neishbors.
So weary and iootsore and longing
though. she was, she hid in the fields
till dark. Then she waited and waited
fearing that she could not make it
right With ''feyther'' "feyther"
should be gone to bed, and she could
FAD mother alone.
When she came to the house her
beating heart stopped in fear, for the
Lights were gone and che remembered
the door was shut at night. Yet at
any rate she must see, and her heart
Ieaped again when she found tina: the
door was open. Light as was her
loot when che stepped within, one
ear heard it, and her mothers voice.
low and trembling with hope, spoke
rom an inner room
"Jennie, is it yeu?'

The Highway District System.

As a system specially designed to squan-
der money and promote insufiiciencies in
the highways, the practice of dividing the
roads of town into great number of dis
triots and placing each district in charge of
surveyor" must be considered a great
success. We doubt if any other System "
of managing any department of state or
town affairs, excepting always the school
district system, is more successful in pro-
ducing minimum of beneficial results at a
maximum cost. Since the commencement
of the discussion of the highway question
by the press, a bill has been introduced by
Mr.. Markham of Bethel, providing, among
other things, for the abolition of the district
system and placing the roads of town in
charge of a supervisor. The idea of this
provision of the bill is the correct one. One
great fault of the district system is the null
tiplying of irresponsible and frequently in
competent, shiftless, or Indifferent minor Of
fcials. The fewer the number of men en-
gagged in the management of any business,
consistent always with due consideration
of any matter and prompt and efficient &C.
ton, the better the business will be man
aged. Too many cooks spoil the broth. In
this view of the matter, it may be ques
toned if, in case any change is made, il
would be advisable to create special Officer
TO look after the roads. 1t is believed tina

The Railroads.

Mr., Editor IL see it is reported that Governor
Smith stated last Thursday night before the
ways and means committee that " it was evil
dent that Vermont's material interests are
on the wane the agricultural interest is beset
the manufacturing interest is beset." | wish to
inquire if this cannot in great measure be rem
edied by the railroads in the state reducing the
tariff on local or way freight and thereby foster
and encourage all kinds of manufacturing in our
own state, so as not to discriminate against all
kinds of business in the state by much less tar
if on all kinds of freight from Chicago and the
west to Boston and New York, than they charge
for way freight from this state, thus favorng the
interest of the west to the detriment Of the best
interest OF our state. Would it not be better in
the end for our railroads to foster home industry
and thereby induce capitalists to engage in man
ufactuIing and other business in this state and to
compete successfully with the west; to so arrange
the tariff on freight that seemingly would pay
better than the through freight from the west.
By discriminating in favor Of home productions,
our granite would be used for monuments build
ings and pavements all over the country, and a
thousand other sources of wealth now dormant
would be quiclSened into life and the material in
terest Of the state would soon be advancing in
stead OF waning. II this cannot be accomplished
by legislation, would it not be for the best inter
est of the railroads to and promote the in
terest Of the state? CITIZEN, Barre, Vt.

Cheap Frelghts.

In justice to Governor Smith, his state
ment of the position of the Central road
with respect to through and local freights
should be given in reply to the communica-
ton of A Citizen" in this weeks WATCH
MAN. The Central has long line of
railway running through the heart of the
state. 1t is link in great through line
from the west to the east. In doing the
through business, the road is brought into
sharp competition with other through lines.
By reason Of this competition, the pref on
this class Of BUSH ess is small under the
most favorable circumstances. The com
pany must haul the through freight at such
Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1882-11-01

prices as are offered or let il alone. It hauls
much for which il gets nothing, and in the
railroad wars IL has sunk money to keep its
business. The company cannot choose in
this matter, and say it will take the good
and leave the bad. II must take that which
gives no profit to retain business that yields
some return. The doing of this through
business is benefit to Vermont. Under the
Central's arrangements flour and grain are
laid down at any station along its lines in
Vermont at as low rates as in Boston or
New York. Discontinue this through bust
ness and Vermont will pay local rates on
the freight sent here from the west. 1t costs
the company less TO do the through bus
mess. 1t simply bitches its engines to
the cars and hauls them through the
state. To do the local business requires sta
tions, warehouses, extra help, billing and a
large amount of incidental expense, from
which the through business is exempt. The
through business is neces sary to enable the
company to keep up its equipment, and SO
by doing through business, which costs very
little, and making a small profit on it, the
railway IL enabled TO do the local business,
and does do it, at much lower rate than
could be afforded without the through bust
ness. Such in brief, are Governor Smiths
views, as we understood them, expressed in
his remarks before the ways and means
committee Thursday evening. We appre
bend there are few business concerns in the
country which are not compelled by the
pressure of circumstances and by competi
ton to pursue line Of policy with reference
to their business analogous to that which
governs the Central in the treatment of its
through business. We believe it would be
difficult to make out case of wilful dis
elimination by this road against the interest
of any Vermont industry, and it is quite
probable that showing in favor of the COM
pany might be made where it has discrim-
mated wisely and generously in favor of
Vermont's interests. A careful and Impair
tial study and investigation of this matter
in all its bearings, we believe, would result
in di ssipatipg great deal of prejudice and
disarming unthinking criticism.

in the greater number of the towns the Sc
lectmen are not overburdened with duties
that as measure of economy, Of efficiency,
of harmony, and for the sake of undivided
responsibility, these officials should be d.
rectly charged with the supervision of the
roads. We believe the solution of the
problem, how to obtain good and safe high
ways at a cost approximating the sum a
thrifty private individual or well-managed
corporation would pay for similar work,
would be solved by the proposed change of
system. The manner in which the high
way tax is squandered under the district
system is notorious. Any candid individual
familiar with its practical workings will
cite instances where horse and OK teams,
with plows, shoves, hoes, scrapers and
a gang of men have been called out to work
the roads how half dozen men and boys
will be engaged around a single mud hole,
in each others way, working to a disadvan-
tage, the teams probably lying idle or
brow sing by the roadside, but all drawing
full pay for their time. The days are not
apt to be begun with the lark, and ample
margin is allowed at night for reaching
home by milking-time." Men are not
found in every highway district with whom
a man of ordinary prudence would intrust
the collection of his accounts and the ex-
penditure of the money. But under the
highway district system towns are obliged
to pass over highway tax bill to the abso-
lutte control of many men whose skill or
Judgment they would not trust in the con-
struction of stone wall or the excavation
of q cellar These men are doubtless honest
and do as well as they know how, but they
are not accustomed to the management of
men, know nothing of planning work, of
road-making or repairing or bridge-build-
ing, use poor material, do the work out Of
season, are cheated or imposed upon by I'M
scrupulous men or people of easy conscience
who work out their taxes because they
can shirk Q fl fifty cents worth of service for
a hundred cents worth of taxes. Taxes
worked out under highway surveyor are
very apt to be taxes losfed out or put into
work of quality such as would not be toll
Grated by the individuals themselves on
their own premises. There is some differ
ence between the capacity of the average
selectman and the average highway sur.
veyor, and it is entirely reasonable to sup.
pose that corresponding difference in the
efficiency of highway supervision would re-
suit from placing the roads in the sole
charge of the selectmen. The change might
deprive score or more of men in each
town Of the distinguished honor of flourish
ing the title of "highway surveyor" but,
like patriotic citizens, they should heroic
ally sink all personal considerations when
the public veal is involved.
