The LAKE ROAD.-The Boston Globe
has this paragraph concerning the Lake
road: Speaking of the acquisition of
the st. Johnsbury & Lake Champlain
line by the Boston & Lowell, a shrewd
railroad manager up in that part of the
country says that President Morey never
did wiser thing. By taking in the
present Vermont division, the Boston &
Lowell company secured to itself in a
great measure the traffic of all that re-
gion, including the busy town of St.
Johnsbury, to and from Boston and
other southern points. There was for
merly danger that that business would
dribble away over rival lines. This view
of the case WAS dwelt on as extremely
important. The Globes informant
went SO far as to say that the Lowell
company could afford to do the local
business of the Lake Champlain road at
a loss, for the sake of securing the reve-
nue. accruing from it on the main line.

seriously injured, The wind struck the
city with the suddenness of lightning.
The cars and cabs were overturned and
broken into splinters, roots were dis
lodged and telegraph poles everywhere
torn from their poles. The parks in and
about the city were devastated and in
some cases entirely denuded. One church
tower was blown down, number OF
houses in the suburbs were entirely
wrecked, and of the many cottages on
the outskirts of the capital which were
blown from their foundations and wrecked
some were so quickly broken up and scat
tered by the wind, that they may be
said to have simply vanished before the

TWO New Grand Army Posts.

VIM. G.. Schroeder, chief mastering
officer of the Dept of Vermont, G..
A. R., went to Montgomery and Or
ganized Charles Hale Post, No. 95,
on the evening of the goth of May.
He mustered 20 recruits and installed
the following officers: Geo. H. Full
Ter, P. c.; Samuel n. Dix, S. V. G. !;
William Tevyaw, J. V. c.; Chas. G..
Smith, adjutant; Henry L. Wright,
Q. NJ; Daniel E. Wright, chaplain ;
John Combs, surgeon; Paul Buskey,
Jr., o. D.; VIM. Barnard, Cd.

Wright, @. NJ. Sergt. This Post
starts off with fine prospects of be-
coming a good working Post in the
order. They will have their regular
meetings first Saturday of full moon
in each month.
From Montgomery the mastering
officer proceeded to Barton. Owing
to the difficult connections of the Pas
sumpic road, he did not arrive in Bar
ton until $50 p. m. on the 21st. A
delegation received him at the depot
and escorted him to their beautiful
hall, where everything was ready for
organization. Only one recruit was
mustered, and 80 presented their
transfer cards from Mason Post, No.
Is, Glover, and the following officers
were duly installed: Erastus G.. Col
liston, P. c.; Elisha n. Randall, S.

tin M. Whitney, @. NJ; Benz. F.

Ger then declared George W. Quinn

Post of the department of Vermont,
G.. A. R. Their regular meetings
were proposed to be held every We'd
nesday of the week of full moon; it
was left to a committee to draw up a
set of bylaws and decide the time at
the next regular meeting. The boys
are in good trim and very enthusiastic.
They have made all preparations for
Memorial Day. They voted to get
new silk flag for the Post, and by
passing the hat collected $40 that
evening. They are old Grand Army
men, and there is no doubt Quimby
Post will be one of the finest posts in
the Observation-Disclosures.

POULTRY AND PLUMs.-The Difficult
ty of growing plums, owing to the at
tack of the curculio, has almost driv-
en- this delicious fruit out of the mark
ct. The hens in the plum orchard did
not seem to protect the trees. In a
few recent experiments which have
been tried it has been demonstrated
that if the hens are allowed in large
orchard they will be kept too busy
with other insects to notice the c1,rcu-
Ito, but if the hens are confined, and
each yard contains one, or not over
two plum trees, under which the hens
will congregate for shade, with but
little grass in the yards, the prospect
will be favorable to a large crop of
plums.

periodical of his own which was full of
entertainment for those who willing to
bear with his eccentricities and tolerate
his peculiar notions for the sake of the
good contained in the work. Though
given to many fanciful experiments and
1nsubstantia1 theorizing,. there is no

about some needed changes in hygienic
practices, and gave very salutary i'm
petus and direction to public thought on

Governor Rusk of Wisconsin, has
been the recipient Of deserved praise
from all parts of the Union for his
promptness and decision in dealing
with the rioters at Milwaukee. In
treating with mobs such as confronted
the militia at Milwaukee, there is no
logic so effective and convincing as

severe, but in.the end it justifes itself

The Results,

The Springfield Union thinks that
definite and excellent results will come
out of the chaos of strikes and vio-
lence and the accompanying discus
sions. Experience is a thorough
teacher. The first result will be the
cutting loose Of respectable workmen
from association with the Anarchists.
They see with CONSERVATION the hide
Gus purposes of these social bandits
and are fastening to denounce them.
Tue manifesto of the Chicago Knights
Gabor has The riSnt ring.
A second result will be an end oil
strikes and boycotts to force non
union men out of employment. The
utter collapse of the great st. Louis
strike and of the Third Avenue strike
in New York, and the multiplying ar
rests of boycotters for conspiracy,
settles that question. If men want to
strike on their own account they can
do it but, by the same measure that
their right to quit work is defended,
the right of other men to earn living
by any employment that is offered
them will be defended also, and at
any necessary cost.
A third result will be little longer
in coming, but it will come. Ameri-
can workmen learned several years
ago, that the only successful strike is
the one that never occurs. The waste
of strikes has become so enormous
that the Imagination can scarcely pic
ture it. 1t has become a chief factor
in the trade depression, and, as such,
a prime cause of low wages. The
only way to raise wages is by keeping
at work, respectfully presenting the
demand for an increase and abiding
Loyalty by the decision of conference
arbitration, holding the strike in re-
serve as a last and extreme resort.
The present disturbances are deplora
BILE and disastrous, but they will clear
the air.

The end of the Gladstone Ministry

inc Parliament if the Home Rule bill
is carried or defeated by small ma
iority. If the majority against the
bill reaches forty he will then resign,
and Lord Harrington will probably be

Gladstone's wish, however, is in the
direction of a dissolution.
