Fortunes Of Freaks.

Speaking of the savings of freaks of
nature prominent circus and museum
manager said yesterday: "They are
nearly all economical, and nine out of
every ten are filled with a desire to
own farm. Tom Thumb spent great
deal of money and yet left snug for
tune. Millie Christine, the double
headed girl has made 100000 or $75,-
600, but she lost the greater part of it
backing the circus of a friend a few
years ago. Isuppose she is still worth
$4,000. Hannah Battersby and her
skeleton husband, who live in this city,
are worth $4,000 John Powers, the
fat man, accumulated $4,000. Cap
tain Bates and his wife. big people, are
worth $50, 900. They have fine farm
in the West. If Lucia Zarate, the Mex
lean Midget, had received all the salary
she earned from her manager she would
be worth $25,000. As it is, the manag-
er, Frank Uffner, has the money, minus
1000 or $4,000 he has paid to Lucia's
father. Eli Bowen, the legless man,
has $4,000 in bank. Cooper, the giant,
has nearly as much. The dime mu-
seums have raised the salaries of freaks
so much that they will all have farms
if the managers pocketbooks hold
out"
The fraternal feeling existing among
freaks is aptly shown by the cases of
Hubert Ferrer, long known as the To-
ronto Giant, and Edward Skinner, the
Arinless Wonder. These two men, both
ever seventy years of age, are now liv-
i,t at little cottage outside of Bridge
purt, Conn.,, where an old colored man
and woman, for many years stable
man and wardrobekeeper with circuses
tend to their wants and look after the
peaceful decline of their days. The
cottage, the old colored people, the
giant and the armless man are all de-
pendent on small monthly assessment
taken up from the freaks exhibited at
every circus, museum and sideshow in
the United States. philadelphia Times.

On Wednesday of last week Grover
Cleveland was inaugurated as Presi-
dent of the United States. The day
was fair and warm, the procession OF
military and civil organizations was
imposing and the crowd one of the
largest ever seen in the city. All the
ceremonies passed off successfully.
We give elsewhere the Presidents in
auguration address in full. While it
is not a great state paper, it reads
like the utterances of one whose ideas
of right and wrong are clearly defined.
He urges all citizens to lay aside all
partisan apimosities and give the Gov
ernmenta cordial support. What he
says of economy in public affairs, the
exclusion of foreign pauper labor, the
suppression of polygamy, the protec-
ton of the Indians, and the maintain
ance of the rights of the freedman,
is positive and unequivocal. The adj
dress is we'll received by both the press
and rublic, and if Mr.. Cleveland car
ries out the ideas advanced in it, the
country will have no reason to COM
plain.

STOWE, VT, Feb. 81


Editors NeaCS and Citizen:
would like to say a few words in
RI gard to the examinations of our
common school teachers. think the
present manner of conducting them
are, in part, very unjust. Take
History, and the following question
for an illustration: "What was the
navigation &C, ?" One or half doz-
en- teachers might be ready to answer
it correctly, but if they had been
asked at the same time to define the
mutiny act, 4 question of equal i'm
portance, would have failed. Now l
hardly think Vermont would be able
to find many persons, teachers or
otherwise, who would be able to keep
all those acts, bills and wars indexed
in their mind. Yet they expect q
teacher to be able TO remember them
all of them. l maintain if teacher
can tell the commanders Of the battle
of Petersburg sue is just as we'll quail
flied to teach school as though she
could tell the commanders at the bat
tie of Lexington. But at one exam
nation they mark them on just such
questions or none. Now why not
give them chance to offset a ques-
lion they cannot answer by giving
them chance on one of equal i'm
portance? In the general questions
| teachers are informed that all papers
must be destroyed relative to the ex-
animation. and as a parting shot the
Superintendent will say, Now | trust
TO your honor not to repeat any OF
these questions abroad" Are they
ashamed of their questions? Do they
expect any real, live teacher is not
going to talk over these questions and
see if she cannot find the information
needed, to enable her to master those
questions that she failed in answering !?
| rather think they will, and | don't be-
lieve they are under any oath not to
speak of them. And now, just right
here, l want to ask if it would not be
well to caution the Superintendent
about talking abroad. They are per-
tectly willing TO prate about how high
and low the teachers are marked. Is
that fair? Then look at the number
of questions contained in each single
question. That would be bearable if
some Superintendent did not limit
the time for each study. l think there
might be little improvement in these
examinations and then have good
schools.
