Fairlee Pond.

THIS summer resort is in some sense a
new aspirant for popular favor. Many
years ago the pond used to be known as a
beautiful sheet of water, near the outlet of
which was the residence of Captain Morey,
a notable early experimenter in the matter
of steam navigation. On this pond, it is
claimed, he made some of the earliest uses
ever made of steam in propelling boats.
Within the past dozen or fifteen years Rev.
Mr.. Bttenger of Haverhill, n. H., has often
had a summer camp on it's shores, and it is
understood and hoped that he will furnish
The Century an illustrated article upon the
historical associations connected with this
spot, and Captain Morey's part in bringing
about modern navigation by steam power.
The pond is about two miles long, and in
certain parts of it nearly one mile wide.
1t is charmingly encircled by wood-covered
hills from three to eight hundred feet in
height, with a lookout north-eastward to
Moosenlauke, and southwark to Ascutney,
near Windsor 1t has long been favorite
place for picnicking and fishing, but not till
within two or three years has there been
near it any shelter from sudden storms or
place for feeding the hungry visitors. Mr..
Nathaniel Rogers first built a pavilion,
kitchen and dining-room on the shores of
this placid lake. His building is in a charm
ing grove of pines and commands perfect
view of the entire length of the pond. At
his door is large flowing sping of purest
water, the temperature of which July 4th
was 43o, August 4th AZ, and is now about
40o In the winter it rises to 56o. Mr..
Rogers has rustic bed-chambers for dozen
guests or more and provides an abundance
of the most wholesome food for scores of
daily visitors. He has excellent boats
which he lets for very reasonable prices any
day except Sunday.
A little less than mile to the northward
of Mr.. Rogers building is structure dig
nified by the name of the Glens Falls House,
standing at the outlet of a small stream,
which, up the ravine a quarter of mile,
comes down in several picturesque cas-
cades. Near this building are pho
tographer's gallery, and the Birchmere
Studio " of Messrs. Kenney and Bigelow
from the Lake Side building in Chicago.
Mr.. Kenney has travelled extensively, and
studied and sketched in Europe, but
claims he has never found any point he
likes better than this. He has put up a
building here for permanent summer use,
and has had sixteen or eighteen pupils this
season, painting under his instruction " di-
rect from nature" / see no reason why
this charming pond may not rapidly de-
velop into popular resort. Now, whoever
comes is sure to be well cared for upon
terms the most moderate. W. p.

PATENT MEDICINES.

What are they? As a general thing they
are prescriptions having been used with
great success by old and well-read physi-
clans. Thousands of invalids have been
unexpectedly cured by their use, and they
are the wonder and dread of physicians
and medical colleges in the United States,
so much so that the physicians graduating
at medical colleges are required to discoun-
tenance proprietary medicines, as through
them the country doctor loses his most prof
liable practice. AS a manufacturer of pro-
prietary medicines, DR.. G.. G. Green of
Woodbury., n. j., advocates most cordially
in order to prevent the risk that the sick
and afflicted are liable to, almost daily by
the use of patent medicines put out by in
experienced persons for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
only, and the employing of inexperienced
and incompetent doctors by which almost
every village and town is cursed and men
claiming to be doctors who had better be
undertakers, experimenting with their pa
tients and rObbing them of their money and
health-for the good of the afflicted that
our government protect its people by
making laws to regulate the practical of
medicine by better experienced and more
thoroughly educated physicians, and
thereby keep up the honor and credit of the
profession, also form laws for the recording
Of recipes of proprietary medicines, under
examination and decision of experienced
chemists and physicians appointed for that
purpose by the government, before they are
licensed for general use. He would most
freely place the recipe of Boschee's German
Syrup and Green's August Flower under
such laws, had he the proper protection,
and thereby save the prejudice of the peo-
pie, and avoid the competition and imta-
ton of worthless medicines Copied from

The outlook for the corn aud peanut

Clevoland's nomination of Melville
W. Fuller, of Illinois, as Chief JUS
tice Of tue Supreme Court of the

WHEN the Democratic brethren get
loud on the question OF land grants
to railroad corporations Just kindly
refresh their short memory with the
fact that during the ten years clos
ing with James Buchanan's disas-
ferrous administration the Democrats
passed i3 Congressional public land
grant acts for railroad corporations.
The probability is that if they had
remained in power they would long
ago have given nearly, if not quite
all the public land to wild cat corpor-
atoms of one kind or other. 1t was
