An Injunction Obtained.

The failure of the Vermont Nation
% al bank of Sta fbans will be AGAR
brought into prominence from the fact
that Receiver George W. Hendee has
just obtained an injunction in the
United States Court for the district of
Vermont, restraining the Connecticut
and Psssumpsic Rivers Railroad COM
pany from prosecuting the suit now
pending in the Superior Court of
Lower Canada, and involving the til
tie to certain bonds of the Montreal,
Portland and Boston railroad compa-
ny. When the Vermont National
bank closed its doors it will be remem-
bered that it had among its assets,
through the assignment of its Presi-
dent, Bradley Barlow, some $3.50, 900
worth of bonds of the Montreal, Port
land and Boston railroad, and it sooD
became evident that aside from an as
sessment on the stockholders of the
bank the only chance for the deposit
itors receiving anything lay in the dis
posal of these bonds. Receiver Hen
dee took measures to sell the bonds,
when the Connecticut and Passump-
sic company began suit in chancery
to establish their title to the bonds.
In spite of this the bonds were adj
vertised to be sold at st. Adams on
the sixth of May last, but at that date
the bids received were not large
enough to cover the banks liabilities,
bidders being influenced by the suit
pending in chancery. The suit was
to be tried in a short time, but the in
junction secured by the receiver will
postpone that until after the suit in
the United States court is determined.
The hearing on the injunction will oc-
cur at the term which opens in Bur-
lington Feb. %.

How GLADSTONE KEEPS UP.-At
the age of II, Mr.. Gladstone again
looms up as the foremost man in Eng
land. The wonderful vitality of this
eloquent old man is a mystery to
Americans. Perhaps the secret of it
may be explained by Mr.. Gladstone's
intellectual and physical habits. He
has always been hard student. He
makes politics a business, and for rec
reation goes to the classics, and writes
magazine articles on Homer, Genesis,
the Sun Myth, etc. He lives temper
ately, and yet denies himself none of
the good things of life. While atten-
tive to his church duties, he is seen
on the race-course and at the theatre.
He is fond of such gentle exercise as
chopping wood, or a walk of dozen
miles. He mingles with young peo-
pie, and takes an interest in all that
interests them. Such course of life
must either make or break a man. 1t
has made Mr.. Gladstone. Americans
cannot be altogether different from
Englishmen.-AtLanta Constitution.

Let no one think that the Indians
are decayiug and dying out, and that
the only hope of Christian mission
among them is TO save few individ-
uals of an expiring race. When the
American Board commenced its work
among the DakoJas they numbered
only $4,000; now they number over
10000. Then they were degraded
heather, with no written language.
The missionaries have made them a
language, translated and printed them
books, and taught the people until
now they can nearly all read and
write. During the last year III new
members were received into the
churches. Many of these Indians are
very intelligent Christians, faithful in
their lives, and ready to give reason
for the hope that is in them. The
same may be said of several other
tribes. There is still great field for
enterprise among the alb
origines of our own country.

IMPORTED EGGs.-The value of our
egg import is nearly three millions OF
dollars, as stated in the customs returns,
or about six cents a dozen. Happy is the
consumer who can buy them for twelve
cents, while he who eats them at the res
taurant pays five or ten cents for each
specimen that he takes upon his plate. 1t
is curious fact, known to those who
take meals at our city restaurants. that
the price of eggs is unvarying. They
cost as much there in June as in January.
Of the eggs imported into the United
States, three-fourths come from Canada,
mostly from Quebec and Ontario. One
fifth comes in by the way of Vermont,
another fifth at Buffalo, another at Mag
ara. and another at Boston and Oydens-
burg. Nearly one-half of the importa-
ton is into New England, and the re-
mainder arrives at New York and at Nj.
agara and Buffalo. 1t is a curious fact
chat China sends us two hundred and
twenty thousand dozen eggs, worth eleY-
en- thousand, four hundred and sixty-six
dollars. San Francisco imports eggs
to that amount exactly. John Chinaman
clings close to his native land, and to
such dalicacies as those eggs must be

PAR VALUE.-There is much COM
plant of our current silver coin which
passes for dollar, with an intrinsic
value of eighty-fve cents. 1t may be
truthfully said that some of US are
very happy to get a good supply Of
these silver pieces which pass for a
dollar, and sometimes a nation is
obliged to pass rags for money, with
no deposit to assure their redemption
but it is not honest for a nation that
has an abundance of silver to pass a
coin for more than it's real value of
the metal of which it is composed.

tors plan and execute. We claim no

Possible Successors of Hancock
and POPE

Army circles are considerably aeitated
over the promotions that must follow the
death of Gen. Hancock and the retire
ment of Gen. Pope, which will occur
next month. All the Brigadier Generals
are ambitious to obtain promotion tC
these two vacancies, and several of then
are active competitors. The contest fol-
the place to be vacated by the retirement
of Pope has been in progress for some
time, the competitors being Howard, Ter
ry, Crook and Miller. In selecting gen
eral officers it is discretionary with the
President whether or not to promote by
seniority. Thus, in filling the two vacan-
cies the President may nominate any two
of the six general officers of the line, re-
CARELESS of their rank. Howard and
Terry are senior Brigadiers, the former
ranking the lar>-MdF-=hre months.
There was a sharp ds-ntest between those
two officers for the succession to Major
General Pope, Terry claiming that as he
was Colonel of Volunteers one month
prior to Howard he should have been
commissioned as Brigadier General in
the regular establishments at the close of
the war before that officer. The fact that
Terry Will retire on account of age be-
fore Schofield or Howard made him more
urgent TO secure promotion upon the re-
tlrement of Pope. 1t is an open question
whether Howard or Terry would have
succeeded Pope, although it is probable
the President would follow the conven-
lent and equitable rule of promoting by
seniority in this case. The death of
Hancock, however, insures the promo
ton of both Howard and Terry. if the
rule of seniority is followed. thus re-
lieving the President of much embar-
rassment IN deciding between the two
next in order to Terry. Crook. in addi-
ton to being an excellent officer, is a
great fayorite with Sheridan, these two
having been classmates at West Point.
In addition. Crook ranks Miles seven
years and on this account alone has
stronger claims than the latter to prior
Miles, however, has strong
political and social friends, being related
Dy marriage to the Shermans, Camerons,
Ewings and McLeans, of Cincinnati. In
selecting two Brigadiers the President
will experience great difficulty unless he
rlgldly adheres to promotion by senior
ty.

GEN. GRANTS STRONG POINTS,
Grant had certain elements of charac-
ter that it is important should not be
ignored in any attempt to estimate
his value as leader. These elements
may be variously grouped under the
one head moral courage. He cared
nothing for criticism, because his acts
were inspired by his sense of duty as
a soldier, and because of the con-
seriousness that he undertook nothing
rashlv. He had no schemes for per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and was not,
therefore, chary OF commentator
when others were concerned. He en-
tirely suhordinated selfish interests to
the interests of his country; his one
ambition was the triumph of the
cause in behalf of which his services
we're enlisted. There was something
to overcome and he directed every en-
ergy to it's conquest. The calm reso-
luton. the imperturbable courage, the
cool, comprehensive judgment, the in
difference to means, fitted Grant to
fill the office of commanding gener-
al, but it was the moral courage, the
Justice, the equity Of his character,
that won men TO him and made him a
leader where others had failed. Grant
drew his soldiers to him by his man
hood, no less than by his courage
