The presence of Inspector White
more on the ground yesterday started
another post office flutter. Mr.. White
more had no business here whatever in
relation to the removal question, but
was inspecting the office, which, by
the way, he found in excellent shape.
No, Postmaster Bowman has not yet
received his orders for removing the
Office to Railroad street, and business
is going on at the old stand as usual.

Rev. Sam Small of Atlanta, Ga,
comes in the Y. Nj. c.. A. course to-
morrow evening and the journalist
evangelist will give in his autObiogra-
ply one of the strongest temperance
talks ever heard in st. Johnsbury.
Mr.. Small is a college graduate of wide
culture and travel, was for many
years an editor of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition and in 1873 represented our
country at the Paris exposition. The
story of his conversion and refOrma-
ton, as told by himself, abounds in
humor, pathos and thrilling adventure
and has delighted thousands in all the
large cities of this country.

Concerning Snow Rollers.


These quite frequent snow squalls
thus early in the season bring to mind
the vote of the town at the annual
March meeting instructing the select
matter of snow rollers. The select
men have done some corresponding in
relation to the matter and will proba-
bly, give the rollers trial this winter.
1t is also understood that the village
trustees will try the experiment of
snOwrOller paths in this village. 1t is
to be hoped that the business will not
be postponed too long. If snow rollers
are to be given fair trial they should
be ready for use with the first storm.

Used to the Business.

The candles used in Illuminating the
residence of Dea. l.. G. Spencer on
Summer street Thursday evening were
used to the business, inasmuch as they
were the same candles, or what was
left of the candles, used in illumina-
ting Dea. Spencer's house at the time
of Lees surrender over 20 years ago.
This accounts for the remarkably bril-
liant appearance of Summer street dur
ing the celebration.

Greensboro and Caledonia County.

greensboro ana CaieuOHld COuHCy.
The general committees of the SEN
ate and house held joint hearing last
week on the bill to set off the town of
Greensboro from Orleans to Caledonia
county. The Montpelier journal gives
this report of the discussion -
The hill was favored by Hiram A.
Huse, Esq, of Montpelier and opposed
by Lawyer Young of Newport. Wit
nesses were present who testified in re-
gard to tl.e condition of the roads lead
ing to Newport and st. JOhnsbury, the
county seats of the two counties, the
amount of business done by the people
of Greensboro at st. JOhnsbury and
Newport and the wishes of the citizens
in regard to the matter. The support
ers of the measure claim that the road
TO Newport is difficult to travel, that
ST. Johnsbury is much more easy of ac-
cess by railroad, that the ma jOrity of
the business of Greensboro is done at
the latter place and that the town
would be better convenienced by hav-
ing this place as it's county seat rather
tkan Newport. The opponents of the
measure state that the road to st.
Johnsbury may be little shorter than
10 Newport, but that 1T is hiily and
sirifted in winter, and that for all bnsi
ness in the courts Greensboro is far
better accommodated in Orleans than
would be possible in Caledonia county.
A petition praying for the passage of
| the bill has been placed in the hands
of the committee signed by one hun
drcd eighty eight voters of the town,
also remonstrance signed by seventy
voters.

DIR. Y, J. Aliens Address.
Condensed from the Columbia Re0tster

On the evening of Thursday, Feb
ruary 8, DR.. Young J. Allen addressed
very large audience at Washington
Street Church in this city. The talk
occupied an hour and forty minutes,
and we think great majority of the
listeners wished the speaker to contin-
ne his narration of most Interesting
facts.
When I went to China the people
thought their land the only land un-
der the blue concave; they wondered
where we came from, and called US
ocean men," They thought us to be
sea monsters. The Chinese did not
desire our presence, but we forced an
entrance by violence. Foreigners de-
manded the right of residence and
trade, but refused to recognize Chi
nese authority, therefore certain terri
intruders, within which they might
dwell and trade. A clause called the
"extra-territoriality clause" was in
troduced into treatises made with for
eign nations. The Chinese felt the
indignity of having their jurisdic-
ton ignored, despised, by these invad-
ers Of Chinese territory, and when
they more fully understood the situa-
ton they sought to reach position
where they could demand the return
of their lands.
China and Japan have both set
about a reforming of their govern
ment and civilization in order to be
more in harmony with modern and
"foreign" ideas. The "favorite ma
ton" clause is one introduced by the
-Chinese into their treaties with all ma
tions, and it prevents the granting Of
any inividious! distinctions to one
more than another. Under this very
restriction. however, Protestants have
gained access to the country. Two
hundred years ago the Romanists had
gained strong foothold in China,
but in consequence of internal dissen-
tions were expelled and their proper
ty contscated. In 1860, the year DR..
Allen reached China, treaty was
made with France and with England
after the war with those countries.
In the French treaty was q stipula-
ton that the Romanists be allowed to
return and that their property be re-
stored. The "favorite nation" clause
Just explained made it impossible to
refuse entrance to the PrOtestants. In
japanese treaties, however, there is
no such clause, and missionaries are.
bound by the same limits as mer-
chants. Teachers may enter at pleas
ure, and missionaries if they are teach
ers. These in search of health and
those engaged in scientific investiga-
tions may enter by passport. The
japanese are desirous of learning our
customs that they conhive at all
evasions of the law which bars access
to foreigners, and though they do not
invite preaching, they do not prevent
Ii -
