In connection with the articles on Judge
Harrington elsewhere published it is proper
TO say, as a matter of actual history, that
slavery never existed in Vermont under the
state government. A few slaves were held in
the territory now embraced in the state I'M
der the New York laws before the settlement
of the New Hampshire Grants" dispute and
the independent organization of the state
The records show that thirteen slaves were
so held at one time slavery being then COM
mon in New York but when Vermont came
into the Union in 1777 her constitution spe-
officially pulled up the system by the roots by
declaring in its very first sentence that "all
men are born equally free and independent"
10 this the trainers of our constitution went
entirely beyond the signers of the colonial
Declaration of Independence, who contented
themselves with saying only that IAN men
are created equal"

The question on which Mr.. Gladstone's
ministry was defeated last Monday night was
that of an increase in the tax on beer and
spirits. 1t seems strange, and even impossi-
bic, that, after weathering so many stormy
events, both foreign and domestic-the cal
amitous campaign in the Soudan, the delicate
and difficult Afghan affair, and the question
of coercion in Ireland-the wreck should
come on 80 petty thing as proposed slight
increase Of the beer tax. Mr. Gladstone is
20 years old, and for over fifty years he has
been prominent in English politics, having
entered Parliament when only 23 years old.
In 1868 be became prime minister, succeed
ing Mr.. Disraeli. In 1874 he went TO the
country on promise to repeal the income
tax, was defeated, and Mr.. DisrAeli again be-
came premier. Mr.. GlAdatone's late admin
istration lasted ave years, having been form

Vermont has never for a moment enter
tanned the idea of throwing Senator Edmunds
overheard. Talk of such purpose il puorile
and its serious consideration downright i'm
becility. Here and there in the state IAN
original Blaine mans" disappointment may
have got the better of his good sense-in talk
and outside newspapers, like the Boston
Journal and New York Tribune, conspicuous
for their partisan devoted to Mr.. Blaine's
political fortunes at expense of even national
Republican success, in a spirit of petty per-
sonal revenge, have been reaching out for
Mr. Edmunds' throat. Neither the people of
Vermont nor the Republicans of the Union
are so foolhardy. Mr.. Edmunds was ac-
knowledged by political friends and enemies
to be the man having superior qualifications
for the presidency of this nation. He was
an ideal candidate. He has done no act that
detracts from, or in the slightest degree mod
i6es, except to heighten, the just eulogiums
his name called forth before and at the Chi.
oago convention. So there would be EN-
barrassment and qualification to any self-res-
pecting person in an attempt TO give any sufi-
cient reason for engaging in a scheme to drop
him out OF the senate at the end of his present
term. 1t is folly to consider the matter at
ALL unless the senator shall express a desire
TO retire from the service Of the state, and
give very substantial and conclusive reasons
why his wishes should be respected. That, or
equivalent contingencies, might open the lists
to contest which might be spirited and in
which there might be a very determined
competition, but neither the state nor the
Republicans of the nation will allow Mr.. Ed
munds to leave the senate for any trivial or
insufficient reason.

lar army, after full year of careful work,

Those are strong and true words about SEN
ator Edmunds quoted elsewhere in this paper
from Hon. John w. Stewart, Member OF Con
gress from the First District. The Free Press
says, editorally, that Mr.. Stewart is not the
only one among the gentlemen alleged to have
senatorial aspirations who hold the same
views and the same paper adds; Nor do
we find many Republicans anywhere who
think that the situation is now, or is likely 10

The great commercial success of the Suez
canal is demonstrated by the vote taken last
week by the stockholders Of the company to
borrow $40, 600, 600 to enlarge the canal.
When the canal was built it was supposed
that, with it's numerous sidngs to enable YES
sells to pass each other, it would be equal for
all commercial requirements for at least 80
years, but, it's business has so grown that
vessels are now often delayed several days on
their passage through. It will require sew
eral years to complete the enlargement, but
when it is finished it will 80 increase the ia

a Mysterious Joke.

A joke is mystery to some people.
In certain court in this State, on a
time, the proceedings were delayed by
the failure of witness named Sarah
Mony 10 arrive. After waiting long
time for Sarah the court concluded to
wait no longer, and, wishing to crack
his little joke, remarked: 'This court
will adjourn without Sarah-Mony. "
Everybody laughed except one man,
who sot in solemn meditation for five
minutes, and then burst into hearty
outlaw, exclaiming: II see it! see it!'
When he went home he tried to tell the
joke to his wife. There was witness
named Marah Mony who didn't come, "
said he, land so the court said: Well
adjourn without Mary Mony." u don't
see any point to that" said his wife.
II know it, said he II didn't at first;
but you will in about five minutes. =

Mrs. Christian Zeile, aged sixty-three
years, Of Carondelet, St. Louis, Missouri,
had a chronic ulcer on her leg which had
been running for forty-three years. To
use her own language, she had tried all
the doctors" but without perceptible ben
eft Two of the moss noted of this city
advised her, as the only alternative from
death, to have the leg amputated below
the knee. She was troubled with an
intolerable itching sensation, which only
gave way to a distracting pain, which
made death her daily wish. She could
not sleep or rest. On March IL, this
year, she commenced using DIR. Hart
mans PERUNA, and to-day the leg is
entirely healed, and the thankful old lady
says she has slept more during the last
three months than she did in the previous
forty-three years.
Miss Alice Brady, of East St. Louis,
Illinois, suffered from catarrh ophthalmia
for five years. On April ~ she began
treatment under DIR. Hartman. For a
year before she was patient of two Of
the best known oculists of this city, but
they signally failed to help her. After
one month under DR.. Hartman and his
PERuNA, her eyes have almost entirely
healed, and, according to her own state
ment, he has done more for her in this
short space of time than the oculists did
in the previous whole year. PERUNA,
of course, did it.
Miss Annie Baker, First Avenue, Mil
waukee, writes take great pleasure
in recommending PERUNA. For years
have suffered from Asthma. l was in
duced to try PERUNA. 1t promptly
relieved the paroxysms, and its continued
use renders their recurrence less and less
frequent. am confident it will cure me
completely"
Walker Brothers, druggists, Batavia, o.,
write: "DR. S. B. HARTMAN, Columbus,
o., Dear Sir: Some two weeks ago had
very peculiar case, and after few ques.
tons were answered, came to the con-
rlusion it was catarrh Of the stomach of
the worst kind, of ten years. standing.
The patient had consulted every ply

try your PERUNA and MANALIN. She
had been having spasms every three or
four days, and the fifth dose kept them
of, and they have not returned since"
w. M. Griffith, Ashland, Ky, writes.
The large chronic ulcers of fifteen
months standing, are entirely healed.
The swelling. pain and itching have all
