1t is announced that, following the resigns
ton of Henry Willard the presidency Of
the Northern Pacific was offered to Hon
Frederick Billings who declined it, and that
Vice President Thomas +. Oakcs is to be the
next President. There will bo a general
regret it seems to us, over Mr.. Wizards
downfall. The New York Ecening Pest says
OF him "That his loss has been made total,
or nearly so, by his endeavors to save others
from loss who had invested in those sccuri
ties by reason of their faith in him, is one
OF the most noteworthy features of trou.
bed time in the world Of finance. He is a
man who has hal died nearly or quite one
hundred million dollars of other peoples
money within the sp &C Of four years. Much
Of this was put in his hands without Other
security than his personal receipt. Fortunes
we're made in the earlier enterprises which
he planned. When people began to lose
money suspicion was naturally cast upon Mr.
Willard, and as the losses became hca -iei
the storm of detraction became louder and
hercer, until the man against whom its force
was directed fell. Then it was found that
he had wrouged no man or company, that
he had helped others as long as he could and
that when he could do no MORE he had hand
cd his property over to his creditors MS the

MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY.

The number Of native Vermonters con-
nected "i'h Michigan University throughout
its history, has been so considerable as to
give tic people OF Vermont an especial in.
terest In that institution. Many Vcrmonters
also retain strong personal regard for
President Angel although It is now twelve
years since he left Burlington for Ann Arbar.
His annual report for the last college yeW
just received, shows that the great univerA
over which he prcsides continues to thrive
under his able administration. The totaI
number of students last year was 144O, OF
which number 410 were students proper in
the academical department One hundred
and seventy were women, ot whom 1O7 were
pursuing literary studies, 60 in the medical
and dental schools, and three in the law
school, President Angel says.
"As we have now for thirteen years. with.
out the least embarrassment, admitted wo
men to all the privileges of instruction in the
university, we can not but observe with
qualification how rapidly public opinion
both in Europe and America, is coming &c
approve the granting Of substantially tho
same opportunities for education to womer
as to men. 1t may be questioned whetbe,
this change in public sentiment is not th,
most important event in the educational his.
tory of the last fifteen years. We shall risk
little in predicting that the institutions in
this country which are furnishing separate
instruction OF high grade to each of the
sexes will at no distant day find, like our
selves, that there is no adequate reason why
they should not save labor and expense by
educating the male and the female students
Tor the most part in the same class rooms.
The State of Michigan shows commend
able liberality toward its State university
and the legislature gives it annually from
$50, 900 to $50 600 in special appropriations
The appropriations made by the last legisla
ture FOR its benefit aggregated $64, 900. Yet
the president expresses sore need of more
funds for its general expenses and the fin.
ance committee advise a pruning of expend-
lures.
The new library building of Michigan
university, erected by the State at cost OF
500, 900, is substantially complete, and we,
dedicated few days since, with interesting

a few PAGES of the police Office, the latter
accosted the rider with Good night. No
reply being made, the officers seized the
holse's head and refused to allow the strang-
er to proceed step farther without stating
his business. To his bewilderment however,
the stranger said he was staying at the castle
and that he was the Duke Of Westminster.
The officer at once released his hold of the
horses head, aud was most profusc in his
apologies 10 the duke, repeatedly expressing
hope that he Ind not insulted bis grace.
The duke assured the officer that such was
not the case, because be had only done his

TIE IMMIGRATION OF 1888

Immigration is still pouring into this Coun-
try at an enormous rate 1t was less last
year than for the two or three years preccd-
Ing, but the number was still very large
800, 400, or a considerably larger number
than the entire population of Vermont. The
number in 1852 was a., 450, and in 1881 it
was AL ,064. OF these nearly four hundred
thousand immigrants who arrived last year,
a very large proportion settled in New York
State-146, o97, or more than four times as
many SIS IN any other State in the Union.
OF these less than 10000 remained In
New York city, OF whom $1,000 were
German, English and Irish servant girls.
The next State in number is Pennsylvania,
which took 55,5l8; and the third, Illinois,
whose accessions amounted 70 about 80 000
Next in order come Ohio, Wisconsin,, Min
nesota, Michigan, Massachusetts and Iowa.
each of which received over 10000. Of
the remainder, New Jersey, Connect.
cut and Missouri received over 5000
each, and Nebraska very nearly that
number. OF the Southern States only Tex
as, Maryland and Kentucky received over
1000 each. Germany leads the list of ma
tionalites with 156,2l0, while Ireland, Eng
land, Italy, Sweden, Norway and Hungary
contributed altogether about as many. New
York, while good indicator in regard to i'm
migration from other countries, gets almost
nothing Of the vast tide that pours over the
Canadian border, and that amounted in 1882
to 77,OOo people. The marked predomin-
ance of German immigrants is a great fact
which should have its moral as well The
number from Italy-23, ESQ greater than
that from any other country excep: Ger
many, Ireland and England; although
Sweden and Norway together contributed
1000, and Denmark 1856 more. About
$4,000 of the 100000 were of the
Teutonic race, either German Dutch,
English, Danish or Scandinavian.

THE LITERATURE OF 1888.

That excellent and indeed almost indis.
pensable periodical the Literary World pub
fishes Its usual careful and exhaustive review
of the literature of 1888, devoting 10 it DO
less than fifty columns. But careful PERU
sal shows that though last years literature
was great in bulk it was very slender in
merit 10 fiction, the year saw the sudden
rise OF two new novellsts-A. S. Hardy and
F. NJ Crawford, whose "But yet Wo-
man" and doctor Claudius" rank as the
notable novels of the year. Mr.. Howels
has furnished novel in his familiar
vein and Mr. Bret Harte another.
The lesser lights, Miss Woolson, Edgar Faw-
cett, Mr.. Bishop, Miss Thicker, Miss Jewett,
F. l.. Benedict, Mrs Burnett, Edward King,
and host of others, have written several
scores Of novels, most Of which will not only
be unheard OF five years hence, but are al.
ready as defunct as any Egg ptian mummy.
The year has been prolific in fiction, but for
the most part it has been fiction of very
ephemeral character. In poetry, nothing Of
great consequence has appeared. Mr.. Whit.
tier has published one of those thin
volumes into which he manages 10
collect his fugitive poems about every
year. Mr.. Longfellow's posthumous "Mich.
iel Angelo" has been printed, but it is
not a work that would give an unknown man
u reputation. MIR. Longfellow's later roetry.
n fact, is immeasurabl inferior to his earlier.
MIR. Aldrich has published Mercedes" Mr..
Maurice Thompson small volume; and
more or less barbaric yawps have been com.
mitted to the transtory life of type by Ella
Wheeler, Mrs. Saugster, j. w. Chadwick
and dozen others 1t is pretty safe to say
that the world would have lost little If the
whole list of books of poetry had persisted in
The manuscript.
In history, the year has witnessed the
publication of John B. McMastel's notable
History OF the People OF the United States
"a work that is sure to live. Mr.. II. II.
Bancrofrs mammoth "History of the Pacif.
ic States" has covered two laps in its stately
walk and couple of volumes in that valu.
able series "The Campaigns of the Civil
War" have appeared, These are of course
not the only publications of the wear. Int
there are few others of any particular note.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
How some Public Men Regard lis
Workings.

The Civil Service Reform Ass )cia,ion of
New Haven, Conn, recently addressed let.
tiers to various Senators and congressman,
asking:
l. rs that act relieving you, as a mem
her of Congress, in an appreciate degree
from the importantly of oflice-seekers and SO
far forth giving you more time for appro-
pirate Congressional work ?"
2. as that act, allowing for its tentative
nature and the short time since it took effect,
securing the ends for which it was enacted ?''
To these questions Gen. J. r. Hawley, U.
5. Senator from Connecticut answered to
the first question, "Emphaticaly, yes; and
to the second, "From general observation I
should say, yes" Senator Edmunds wrote
l reply to your first inquiry, no; for the
reason that 1t is well known that for nearly
seven years have declined 10 volunteer any
requests or recommendations for appoint
ments by the President or in any of the ex.
ecutlve departments, either IN Vermont or
elsewhere.
To your second inquiry, reply that be.
lieve that the act is dong much good for the
ends for which it was designed, although !
was of opinion that it was not sufficiently
stringent, and that whenever the Executive
power wished to break it down in practice it
could and would do it, and l am of the
opinion still.

The Hon. John A, Kasson wrote:
!. The civil service act does undoubtedly
relieve members Of Congress, from impor.
tunties for clerical office. For ether offices
the opportunities remain, but l think the
civil service act has, by the spirit of reform
which it embodies, also diminished the per-
tinaclty and aggressiveness OF applications
outside of It's jurisdiction. Office seeking
music is changed from the major to the minor
key. 2. The act is fairly securing some of
the ends for which it was enacted, such as
Independence of public servants from parti-
san control and from involuntary political
payments, elimination of the scramble for
Office, weakening of the "boss" system. But
whether it is also improving the personne!
and efficiency of the service is a question
somewhat involved in doubt
