NOTES.


The Shenandoah Valley train from the
South was nearly four hours late, and
owing to this fact many persons who
would have come from different points
along the line did not get here. If the
railroad facilities had been in any way
convenient the crowd would have been
much larger.
The company of Zouaves elected Mayor
Harrison an honorary member, and in the
evening went through drill in front OF
his residence. Their maneuvers were
gone through with admirably, and were
witnessed by number of interested spec
tators.
The dinner and strawberry and ice
cream festival held by the ladies for the
benefit of the Memorial Association was
very successful. The Indies undertook
the work with the greatest vigor, and OF
course it was most satisfactory. They
have the sincere thanks Of the Memorial
Association for the part they took. The
liberality OF those who contributed pro-
visions is also very much appreciated.
Special mention should be made OF the
handsome donation of Mr.. Sam. Hcnsell,
Of Knoxville, Tenn. lie brought with
him from that city an immense cake, GER
tainly monument of :he confectioner's
highest art. 1t vas not only thing OF
beauty, but had the more substantial
quality Of being JOY forever to those who
tasted it, "of whom, - as Mrs. Darlington
womb saw. owe We're which"

The New Orleans Exposition.

The legislature has done nobly in APP
propriating the liberal sum of $4,000
for the purpose of having Vermont
adequately represented at this great in
dustrial fair, and the governor as wisely
in giving the direction of it to so capa-
BILE and efficient a man as Colonel
Mead. He is a good man to send,
every way, and none the less so be-
cause he once marched southwark on
less peaceful Grand. There are a few
in the north, of the implacable type,
who need reconstructing as badly as
old Bob Toombs of Georgia, but they
are not amongst our soldiers. The war
ended for these with AppomattoX, but
there are others, of more peaceful
trades, who haven't got the news yet.
They remain, strange anachronisms,
requiring impossibilities of. a defeated
foe, and determined not to be recon-
ciled on any terms, or at least not until
every man, woman or child in the
south is ready to see all things through
their spectacles, and vote as they vote.
This great national gathering will do
much to restore good feeling and har-
mony in the nation, by showing the
people of each section that those of the
other are not as black as they have
been painted by the politicians who
make their profit out of sectional dis
cord and jealousy. Those who fought
for the Union, like Colonel Mead,
desire union, and have sense enough to
seek for il through other means than
the exaggeration of some wrongs and
the fabrication of more. In this thing
our state has done herself high honor,
for she has done it not grudgingly, but
heartily. That is the way to break up

Setting Glass Against Class.


Thorold Rogers, the eminent liberal
member of the British parliament,
whose History of Agriculture gives him
an eminent position also in industrial
literature, has lately issued another
work of great research, entitled "Six
Centuries of Work and Wages; The
History of English Labor" In this
work Octave, five hundred ninety
pages, published by G.. p. Putnam's
Sons, New York; he anticipates the
usual charge against those who cham
pion the cause of the Lords poor,-the
charge of setting class against class.
He denies having done so, his work be-
ing but statistical statement of indis-
putable facts, but he adds:
"Were it necessary, indeed, to do so,
in order to assist the moral and mate
rial progress of those who, living by
labor, enable others to live without
labor, or live by mischievous labor, L
should not hesitate to use all my powers
in that direction, for the charge of set
ting class against class has always been
made by those who wish to disguise
their own indefensible advantages by
eliminating the efforts of those who
discover abuses and strive to rectify
them. But l believe that the efficacy of
the charge has been much weakened by
the estimate which the public instinct
lively forms about those who venture on
using it,"
The republication of Mr.. Rogers
work in this country is timely, and will
enable all who desire to study the ten
denotes of our politics, under the influ-
ence of the recent immense concentra-
ton of wealth in America, to do so by
the light of the history of our mother
country under like conditions. Mr..
Rogers charges and proves that the pau
perism of the English laborer was the
result of legislation purposely aimed at
that object,-the same kind of legisla-
ton which, under the influence of COM
binations of capital, is now so rapidly
filling up the statute books of oul
American states and the general gov
eminent.

Cold Water flinders Blooming.

Our lady readers sometimes complain
that their house plants grow well, but
do not bloom as they wish in winter.
There are various reasons for this, but
the principal one is too low tempera-
ture, either at night or all the time.
The temperature of the earth in the
pots should not be as high as that of
the air of the room, and to prevent this,
as well as to keep the roots at as even
temperature as possible, it is a good
plan to set the pots into larger ones,
filling the space between with dry moss.
Then, in order to give the roots a
proper temperature, use lukewarm
water for watering If the other condi-
tons are right, this will greatly promote
the formation of flower buds, and the
development of handsome blooms.
Flower-growing, either in or out doors,
requires as much skill and care to in
sure success as farming, and the wo-
man who can succeed in making con-
siderable number of varieties grow and
bloom well in winter may consider her.
self, in that particular at least, a very
capable person. The care of house
plants is a sort of education in itself,
and one of no small value in the devel-
opment of character.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1884-11-26

A LARGE majority of those who leave
the farm become mere wage laborers in
crowded factories and shops, and are
forced to endure privations and hard
ships unknown and impossible in farm
life. AS a noted writer says: "Our
vast manufacturing system, our gigan-
tic commerce, our crowded towns and
cities, support and continually renew
mass of human misery absolutely
greater than has existed before. They
create and keep at lifelong labor an
ever-increasing army, whose lot is the
more hard to bear by contrast with the
pleasures and comforts and luxury
which they see enjoyed by their en-
ployers and those who live by the in
dustry of the working class, but which
the latter can never hope to share.
They are in this respect worse off than
the savage in the midst of his tribe"

HOUSEKEEPING under the auspices of
our agricultural societies ought to be
prohibited for the reason (and this is
not the only one) that the business
that of breeding and training fast colts
which the societies thus encourage,
is business from which no substantial
benefits are ever realized. The breed
ing and training of colts for the race
course is but species of gambling,
and certainly much odium attaches, or
should attach, to our agricultural socie-
ties for giving it their encouragement.
The value of horse, whether his
record is 2: 30, go or 2:10 is ficti-
tious value. If it be well under the
second figures, just given, he is likely
to bring to his owner considerable
sum of money. But in every case,
without exception, the money is dearly
earned.

analysis. The college ought to have
accepted the situation, and been satisfied
to give good and thorough analysis.
But, unless the facts have been greatly
misrepresented to us, this has not been
the case. AS we understand it, no gen.
uine analyses have been made, and we
have been told that when the agent of
one of the leading fertilizers sold in the
state complained of the incorrectness
of Professor Sabin's analyses, the pro-
fessor admitted that "they were a
farce" and necessarily so, because the
state did not pay for proper analysis.
In our judgment this thing demands a
thorough investigation, that the public
may know whether they are being
cheated in this matter, or not.

A Maine Expert on a Vermont Apple.

We acknowledge the receipt from
that careful experimenter, DIR. L. III.
Hoskins, Newport, Vermont, of spe-
cimen of the Mortified Beauty crab
apple. 1t certainly is a beauty in APP
pearance as well as name, being regu-
lar in form and of bright scarlet color
all over. The sample sent is two and a
half inches strong in diameter; and in
the note accompanying it the Doctor

We find it really pretty good dessert

vor that one would wish were not there.
If we were living where the Winthrop

pear would not grow, we could take

field Beauty, and not feel very bad
about it either. May the Doctor live
long to experiment with fruit for the
Northern border. n-Maine Farmer.
We think the slight defect in flavor
of the specimen apple sent to Mr.. Gil
bert was owing to some special cause,
perhaps a worms work. Regarding
the Sheldon pear, Brother Gilbert does
right TO praise it, and its origin pretty
