Mr.. Henry Watterson, editor OF the Louisville

dents OF Vanderbilt College, Nashville, chose for
his subject, " Homicide In the South" lie ac-
the evil, but thought the North was
not kind IN It's criticism Of the southern proneness
to the use OF the pistol In the settlement OF differ
ences He spoke strongly against the practice
and expressed the belief that, as dueling had
fallen into Disgrace 80 this passing phase Of south
ern social life would have its day and then dis
appear. lie closed with the following tender and
noble passage; "You, too, my dear young friends,
are going presently ont into the world On the
Threshold you will be met by the charge that you
inhabt a region where murder Is loved for muir
der's sake Ipray you heed the charge to this
extent that you throw your learning and your
vaor upon the side Of peace and order and law.
qulres that british words shall be answered by

tleman. Seek TO establish and maintain a code
OF manhood which shall honor him who saves

cation and hot blood self-forgettulness, which Is
the highest and purest selfcomposure the very
heart and soul OF real courage; for hath II not

THE braycst are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring

CABoT,-A rather impromptu observance OF
decoration day was held In this town, no arrange
ments being made until two days before but not
withstanding, goodly number Of soldiers and
citizens assembled to pay respect to the fallen he
roes that have given their lives ~ perpetuate this
government when the high hand OF treason was
stretched out against it, At an early hour the
flag was displayed at half mast, the soldiers
monument beautifully trimmed with evergreen,
a small flag; flags were also disp'ayed on public
buildings and private residences. At half past
one the drum corps, In front of the hotel, called
together the soldiers and clergy who proceeded
to the soldiers monument, where, after singing
by the Clark family, u fervent prayer was offered
by Rev. IL. A. Russell. The procession then
formed under the direction OF the marshals, c. w.
Cade and l. Myers, in the following order the
right resting in front OF the monument; Standard
bearer, 7. J. Corliss, drum corps OF veteran sol
der4 friends Of deceased soldiers, speakers, Rev.
with floral offerings, singers, village school and
teacher, each scholar bearing a bouquet, citizens
in carriages. The procession took up the follow
ing order OF march; down Main street, to the
cemetery In Lower Cabot, where the graves Of
soldiers were decorated with wreaths and flowers,
returning by the same route to the cemetery In
the village OF Cabot where like sad rites were
performed, thence to the monument, where sing
ing, speeches and music completed the order Of
exercises. No one that participated In the occa-
sion could say that the hours were not pleasantly
and prohtaby passed. and i Is hoped that we as
a town may not forget the debt we owe to those
that gave their lives to witness of their devotion,
but with each returning May bring sweet flowers
in tribute to the dead of our army, until the COM
ing Of a May that shall be barren Of flowers and
the music of birds.

The Free Press is entirely right in char
acterizing it as ga reproach to Vermont
that certain criminals convicted of forgery,
robbery, or similar heinous crimes, should
escape punishment by the forfeiture of their
bail. 1t specifies three marked instances of
recent occurrence. Vermont may not be a
sinner above her sister states in this respect.
We are inclined to believe that, as a whole,
justice is even more infexible here than in
other communities in decreeing the punish
ment of crime but cases like the following
cited by the Free Press, bring the admins
tration of justice into disrepute and should
be increasingly condemned by the press and
people. "Solomon NJ. Field, a wealthy cit
izsn of Newport, charged with passing coun-
terfeit money, escapes by paying bail bond
OF $4,000. Other cases in our recent his
tory might be mentioned, but those we have
named are particularly fragrant and the cir
cumstances of them are widely known. In
the case of Field, it was well known that he
was man of wealth; he was taken red
handed, as it were; and the evidence Of his
guilt was absolutely conclusive. Yet his
bail was fixed at the comparatively nominal
sum of three thousand dollars. 1t was the
common remark at the time that as mat
ter of course Field never would appear for
trial, and the fact justified the inference.
OF course he did not appear for trial, for the
bail was not of Such amount as to ensure
his attendance, or as to make it at all prob
able that he would 80 appear. The result is
that notorious offender escapes justice by
the payment of sum which to him is
almost insignificant"

ROCHESTER,. Memorial day we met to dedi-
cate portion OF the final resting places OF those
who gave their lives that our Nation might live,
and from these honored dead we take increas ed
devotion; the cause for which they here gave
their full devotion we prize, that the dead have
not died In vain, that the Nation has new birth
of freedom and our government still lives and we
have not persisted from the earth "a those that
fought for us. Colonel Pingree gave to a large
audience very impressive address the past
and present of the fallen ones; no one could give
better history and animate us for the next
gathering. Flowers were beautifully strewn by
weeping comrades, friends gathering round their
hallowed graves to bring fresh remembrance OF
those they dearly loved. Mrs. J. W. Sault's
funeral was attended at her fathers home Satur-
day at eleven o'clock. Rev. T. S. Hubbard
preached her funeral sermon. No one could do
better and know her better than he did, her
suffmings for year past, her great anxiety to
live for her companion and the little one she so
dearly loved, but finally the struggle ends and
she was prepared for a glorious world OF rest
Her sister from Chicago WAS with her 10 hear her
last messages of love and entreates to all to meet
in heaven. Never were two sisters more devoted
to each Others interests than hers. Flowers were
beautifully displayed; covering her casket was a
lovely pillow OF flowers and motto Sister," q
rich cross of flowers rested at her feet The same
day the funeral of J. g. Fassett, a hardware
dealer at Bethel was attended here at the house
OF &. G. Martin, his brother-in-law. Active and

CUISINES men avoid jury duty" says
the New Orleans Picayune, "but they ex.
pect just and intelligent verdicts from loaf.
ers who are willing to serve for lunch wages"
The Picayune expresses lamentable truth
in regard to the practical working of the
jury system in this section as we'll as in
Louisiana. The character of the tribunal
suffers because good men, capable men,
shirk an irksome duty, abandon it TO the
professional jurymsn, the ind olent man, the
loafer, the person who is out OF job men
who manage to get drawn for jury service
in spite OF the safeguards with which the
drawing is hedged about. The work of an
otherwise good panel is spoiled by the pres
enoe OF one or two "black sheep" So no.
torious has become the avoidance of jury
duty by capable men, in Justices courts es-
pecially, that the trial of decent cases by
Jury In those time-honored tribunals has be.
come practically extinct. An honest sutton
will not trust a matter of even small conse-
quence to the accident Of the judgment of
six men such a. make up the average JUS
tees jury. The petit jury may not always
DO what it should, but the Justices iury ia
too often the source OF hope 70 the man with
q rotten case.

lutte was fired over the grave of Captain willie
Bixby, after which they adjourned to the church
to listen to the very interesting address OF Rev.
Harvey Webster. He confined himself mostly to
the Vermont troops, turning back to the time OF

would find our Vermont regiments at the front,
ready to 90 when duty called them.
