Law For

Purchase of Railroad Ticket: Where it is pro-
vided by statute that "a charge of ten cents may
be added to the fare of any passenger where the
same is paid upon the cars, if ticket might have
been procured within a reasonable time before the
departure of the train" it is held that the lam
guage "before the departure of the train" does
not require that the Office shall remain open up to
the instant the train moves off.
Municipal Use of Highways: Taking and lay
ing out land for street or highway does not give
3 municipality-city or town-the right to erect
and maintain structures thereon.
Master and Servant-Negligence Where man
in charge of team of horses left them to engage
in an unlawful personal combat it was held that
the employer was affected with the negligence of
his hired man in leaving the horses and could not
recover for the damage done to the machine to
which they were attached.
Improper Mail Matter: Sealing an obscene let
ter does not remove it from the scope of section
1893 of the revised statutes which prohibits the
mailing of every obscene writing, print or other
publication of an improper character.
Promise to Pay zone Ounce of Gold" The
following writing, "Two years from date, for
value received, promise to pay to ]. S. King,
or bearer, one ounce of gold" is not negotiable
merchandise.

Prohibition Does Not Prohibit.
pbiLndeZnbin Traues.


The old testimony as to the practical results of
local option is sadly borne by the Atlanta, Geor-
gia, papers, and it is worthy of consideration by
all classes alike. But 453 arrests were made in
June, the last "wet" month which the city knew.
In July the number had increased to nearly 600,
an increase over twenty-five per cent. Yet in
that month no liquor could be purchased, pre-
sumaby, except in large quantities. "There is"
says one of the Atlanta papers, "less money in
the City and State Treasury; fewer business
houses occupied less people in the city less
morality; more drunkenness more crimes and
criminals; more poor people out of employment
than ever before; more taxes put upon the peo-
pie more extra licenses imposed upon the mer-
chants, and more dissatisfaction among all classes
of people than ever has existed BEFORE Laws which
the public sentiment does not uphold can never
be enforced with any great degree of success, and
the experience in Kansas. Iowa, Maine, Rhode
Island, and even in Pennsylvania, plainly tells
that the public does not approve the theory of
prohibition.

Washington as He Was.

On Tuesday last DR.. Everett Hale, of Boston,
lectured in the Amphitheater at Chautauqua, on
the "Human Side of Washington" The lecturer
said he would try to enable the audience to appre-
cate the fact that Washington was a real man and
not demi-god Washington was singuIarly hu-
man. The real Washington bought lottery tick
cts, and had o habit of falling in love, and was
greatly troubled because the young women would
not fall in love with him. He was bad speller !;
he traded horses always to his own advantage,
and he was the richest American of his day.
Lord Fairfax brought up Washington to become
a thorn in the flesh of George III. The lecturer
had no doubt that the Ratchet story was true.
Washington was a man of principle and honor,
ana in the time of the Stamp act was recognized
as the Virginia patriot Washington was talk
alive among friends as Grant, but as silent as he
was in the presence of reporters. He asked a
blessing at the table; he had his mug of beer and
his glass of wine, and healthy, cheerful, ac-
tive man, who enjoyed life as if it was worth lv-
ing. He had great passions, but held them in
magnificent control. He had some faint idea of
the America of to- day

Questions Answered.

NJ. j. H., Montpelier.-The rate of pen
sion for total deafness is S13 a month; for
partial deafness, if nearly total, S12 a
month.
G.. o. B., MoNTPELIER.-W. II. ID. Coch-
rane, the new pension agent at Concord, n.
H., has assumed the duties of his Office and
pays the pensions to Vermonters.
II. H. H., Haverhill, n. H.-If you were
pensioned soon after your discharge from
the service on one disease or disability, and
at the same time were suffering from dis
ease or disability not mentioned in your APP
plication for pension, you can now make
a new application and obtain an additional
pension on the disability not claimed in the
original application.
A. G. BERLIN.-If your son on whom you
were dependent for a support died of dis
ease contracted while soldier and left q
widow surviving him you are not entitled to
pension, even if the widow died soon after
the death of the soldier. The soldier must
leave no widow or child surviving him tC
entitle his dependent parents to a pension
under existing laws.
S. G.. s., BARRE.-There are no indications
that the bill to pay all soldiers pension OF
IS a month will become a law at the mex
session of congress. The majority of the
soldiers themselves are opposed to the pas
sage of the bill. 1t is true that certain so
called soldiers newspapers are advocating
the passage of such law, and those mos
opposed to the payment of all pensions ar,
the ones who often say they had better
pay all soldiers pension"

A Vermont Soldiers Story.

Ter the story of his capture by the rebels in
May, 1862, and how he escaped. After re-
counting the result of the engagement at
Front Royal, and the movements of the fol-
lowing day, he says: :" On reaching Middle

Why not give it to the Soldiers Home?
THE trustees of the Soldiers Home are in
favor of locating the Home at Bennington,
where a property valued as high as SD, 900,
including two hundred acres of land and
buildings, are offered as a gift to the Home.
President Wells says there are sixty or
seventy soldiers in the state who would be-

Sherman's March.

pretty little romance, growing out of
Shermans march to the sea, has Just cul-
minated here in the marriage of David
F. Rogers of of Logan, Kansas, to Miss
Donnie Goodman, popular belle of this
city. On the third night out of General
Sherman's army from Atlanta, on its famous
trip to Savannah it camped on the planta-
ton of j. Il. Goodman, a wealthy citizen. 1t
was a night of terror for those in the big
farmhouse, who had heard exaggerated re-
ports of the doing of the invaders. They
watched through closed shutters all night
long the camp-fires surrounding the place.
not daring to speak above a whisper. Day
light found the column on the march again,
and as the last man disappeared the chill
dren sailed forth to examine the deserted
camp. Among the articles found was a
knapsack, in which was diary, which
showed that its owner had served in Kan
sas regiment from the first year Of the war,
and that this name was David II. Rogers of
Logan, Kansas. Five years ago Miss Don
ME, the youngest sister of Mr.. Goodman,
born since the war, paid him visit and
became deeply interested in the diary,
which told the perilous story of soldier
life. She wrote to the address, expressing
her readiness to return the memento II its
owner should still be alive, A grateful an
swer was received both from Mr.. Rogers
and his wife, Mrs Mary Rogers. The two
ladies thereafter kept up pleasant corre-
spondence. One year ago letter, bordered
! in black, came from Mr.. Rogers, in which
he stated that his wife was dead; That AT
the urgent solicitation OF his children he
wrote his southern friend the fact. Two
| weeks ago Miss Goodman received second
letter from Mr.. Rogers, stating that he was
about to make business trip TO North
| Carolina and that he would take occasion IL
call upon her. Sunday brought the couple
face to face. 1t was love at first sight. The
visit was heightened ont until yesterday
