N~Opelika, Alabama, wouldn't be an
agreeable place ofresidence for those ac-
customed to quietude of the North

complications caused ill feeling, which
has resulted in riots every few weeks
since. The last occurred on Monday,
when the governor sent troops to put
down the rioters. During the disturb
ancc before the troops arrived more than
a thousand shots were fired by the con-

Z. A. Chittenden of the Central YER
mont has been elected president of the
General Freight Agents association of
New En- land. ~
George F. Skiff, a prominent citizen OF
Monkton, died suddenly on Sunday. He
was born in Menllton, April l. 1884.
During the war he was connected with
the Tenth regiment Vermont volunteers.
In 1870 he represented Monkton in the
after 1874 postal agent on the Essex
Junction and Boston route. At the last
session of the Legislature he served as
door-keeper of the House, but was then
in poor health and had been for months.
He was a farmer. ~
A Washington correspondent says
One of the most reliable wheel-horses
of the Republican team in the United
States Senate is Philetus Sawyer of
Wisconsin. He was born at Whiting,
Vermont, sixty-siX years ago, and when
seventeen years old started for the West,
carrying with him good health, good
habits, Integrity and industry. Begin
ming as laborer in saw mill, he soon
became one of the leading lumbermen
In Wisconsin and he was elected mayor
of Oshkosh, where he resided. In 1861
he was nominal ed for Con .ress although
there was Democratic majority OF
1000 to overcome, and he was elected
five times successfully, bis ten years
service covering the most important and
eyentful period of our national history.

@9%rhe especial mail facilities" So
called, ale to be continued dur
ing the next year, if the Senate has its
way. The House cut out the appropri-
alton for this purpose. but the Senate
has adopted an amendment approprating
SlS5,000. Even up here in Vermont
benefits are received from the fast mail
from New York to Chicago by way of
Albany-the New York morning papers
reaching here an hour and a half earlier
in the afternoon than they would with
out the fast mail arrangement. In the
course of the debate on the postoffice APP
priation bill, which was passed, the
question of a postal telegraph came up
for renewed discussion. Senator Sher-
man thought the time had arrived when
the national government should turn its
attention to tho question of transmitting
intelligence by electricity in connection
with the letter system. lie did not
believed new ones should be constructed
and operated under federal authority.
The existing lines, he stated, could be
duplicated for $50. 200 to $25 900, 900,
and yet the people are now compelled to
pay $4,000, 900 annually for the trans
mission of messages by telegraph. BY
an expenditure of not more than
S25,000,0 900 great saving could be eff
fected to the public and the revenues of
the government increased. Senator
Edmunds spoke in substantially the
same vein. He was of the opinion that
the government should speedily take
measures for the establishment of tel
egraph lines between the great cities and
intermediate points, and thereafter
gradually extend them until every post
office in the country shall have or be
within immediate reach of postal
telegraph station.

WThe Senate has placed lumber on
the free list, that Is, taken off the duty.
The supporters of this move said that to
admit Canadian and other foreign lum-
Der into this country free of duty would
be step toward the preservation of our
forests. 1t was thought to be inconsist-
snt for the government to give a bonus
for the cultivation of timber and at the
same time keep out foreign lumber by a
duty. 1t was stated that there was
great danger of the total destruction of
the forests around the head waters of
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and
their affiuents. In the course of the
debate the operation of the present duty
was shown, and it was held that were

Canada, within easy reach Of our mar

BILE supply of such woods as are most in
demand, could be drawn upon, while
our own timber lands might be left to
attain fresh growth. But Canada is
not the only country from which we may
obtain lumber supply while we give
needed rest to our own forests. A cor
respondent of an exchange points out
the fact that the forests Of Mexico have

&S@The loss of the steamer Cimbria in
the German ocean adds another to the ter
rible list of marine disasters of recent
years. OF such casualties the New
York Sun says
Ocean disasters within the past forty
years have involved the loss of thousands
of lives. The City Of Glasgow mysteri.
ouslv disappeared in 1854 and 450 lives
were lost with her. She was a wooden
vessel Of LOGO tons. Later the same
year the Artic. a 5000 ton wooden YES
sci of the Collins line, went down of
Cape Race, and 5G2 lives were lost, The
steamship Nesta ran into her. Again, in
tie same fatal year, the steamer Hel
Majesty, from England for Quebec, dis
appeared with all on board. In 1856 the
Pacific of the Collins line was missing
with 200 people. She was never heard
from. A French vessel, LIE Lyonnais
lost 260 lives in collision.
In 1857 the Tempest disappeared, and
in 1858 533 lives were lost by the burn
ing of the German ship Austria. The
Hungarian of the Allan line, from Liver
pool to Boston, was wrecked off Cape
Sable in 1860 and 205 lives were lost, and
line was wrecked and lost 80 lives, and
the Rechid disappeared.
In 1863 the Allan line again lost YES
sci, the Anglo-SaXon, with 237 lives.
The United Kingdom disappeared in 1869.
One hundred and ninety-siX lives were
lost by the wreck of the Cambria of the
Anchor line in 1870, and that year the
City of Boston disappeared.
In Ciy niSonnanpa1 I'll
all on board. These were the Scanderia
of the Morgan line, the Shannon, the
Devon, the Mary Church, the Command
er and the Charucca. The terrible
wreck at Halifax of the Atlantic of the
White Star line was in 1873 and 5lG lives
were lost. The same year the Vile du
Havre of the French line was wrecked by
collision, and $50 lives were lost, and
the Ismalia disappeared. The Anna dis
appeared in 1874. Two hundred lives
were lost by the wreck of the Schiller in
1875, and in the same year 157 lives were
lost by the wreck of the Deutschland Of
the North German Loyds.
The Columbo disappeared in 1876, and
the Mexican in 1877.
In 1873 the Pommerania of the Ham
burg American packet line was lost of
Dover with fifty lives. The Copia, Her
mann, Ludwig, and Homer disappeared
in 1873, and the Zanzibar in 1879.
Among later losses were those of the
City of Vera Cruz, the Hcrder and the
City of Brussels.
On March A, 1881, the steamer Sultan
from Hamburg was in collision with an
other vessel in the Humber, off Sunder-
land, and was cut to the waters edge.
She sunk, and eighteen lives were lost.
1t is possible that this is not the Sultan
that sunk the Cimbria.

H-The alleged prevalence of crime
in Vermont is favorite topic with out
side newspapers, particularly those
of Democratic tendencies, which feel
obliged to say all they can in excuse for
their brethren in the South. A lively
controversy over this matter has recent
ly been going on between the st. Adams
Messenger and the Boston Post. The
former journal adduced the following
facts in support of its defense of Yer
mont, and they would seem to be con-
clusive:
From the statistics published in the
New York Tribune, it appears that last
year one murder was committed in Yer
mont. The population of Vermont in
1880 was 1892, 2SG. Delaware (Which is
more nearly Northen than Southern
State) has l46, 600 inhabitants. and is
credited with one murder. Virginia had
43 murders, being one to every 35, 900 of
her population; Georgia had l6 murders,
or one to every 80, 900 of her population /;
Arkansas had "a murders, or one to
every $4,000 of her population; Ken
lucky had 81 murders, Texas 81, Ten
nessee 81, Nerth Carolina 10. Mississippi
10, Alabama 8, Missouri Al, Maryland s,
South Carolina Z, Florida 3 and Louis
lana Z. The average number for thirteen
Southern States was about %. Every
Southern State except Delaware had, in
proportion to population, from three to
six times as many murders as Vermont.
And the same proportion holds true in
respect to other crimes than murder.
The same record shows that, in 1882,
there were five lynchings in Alabama,
four in Kentucky, four in South Carolina,
four in Louisiana. and from one to three
In each Of the other Southern States,
except North Carolina. There were %
in all the Southern States. Vermont had
no case of the kind. and but one murder
to her $4,000 inhabitants. while no
Southern State had less than one murder
to every l46, 900 of their population-the
smallest proportion being that Of Del
