SWEDISH coLoNIsTs.

While the condition which prompts
Vermont to put forth efforts to fill the
vacant places Of its native farmers with
immigrants is to be regretted, it is obvi-
Gus that the State has made a most Judi
cious choice in the selection of its colon
lists, Whatever may be the current
opinion Of our recent acquisitions from
other lands, il is universally conceded
that our Scandinavian immigration has
been distinctively beneficial to the coun-
try. The experiment Of Swedish colon
ization in Maine under the auspices of
Hon. w. w. Thomas, Jr., has been con-
spicuously successful. Scandinavian
farmers have formed one of the most
prominent and one of the most valuable
elements in the upbuilding Of the great
Northwest. Their habits of thrift and
untiring perseverance and their quiet
and law abiding qualities as citizens
have won them an honorable place in
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota
particularly, and they constitute an i'm
poTtant factor, in some of the Territories
about to be admitted to the Union. In
1880 there were nearly 100000 Swedes
and Norwegisns in the United States,
and since that date there has been very
heavy immigration. In 1886 we received
$4,000 immigrants from Norway and
more than $4,000 from Sweden. In 1882
the Swedish arrivals numbering 10000.
There iseyery reason to believe that the
Swedish farmers will prove to be just as
valuable an element in Vermont as they
have in other American communities
where they have settled. They are com
monty credited in the West with a dis
position to assImilate readily, and they
become naturalized in large numbers,
and usually take considerable interest in
politics. In some of the Western States
the Scandinavians have been active in
behalf of pronounced legislation and
clean political methods generally-some-
thug which is not always characteristic
of American citizens of foreign origin.
Moreover, they set wholesome example
to immigrants of other nationalities by
voting pretty solidly with the Repub.
lican party.-Boston Journal

OLD PURITANICAL DOCTRINE.

Strange though 1t may appear to the
aquarium contingent, it is scarcely 100
years since the Legislature of Massachu-
sets enacted a law exempting from tax
es for term of five years all brew hous-
es wherein shall be made and produced
for sale annually quantity Of strong
beer or ale not less than 100 barrels. u
And this was done, according to the pre-
amble of the statute, because ''the man.

malt liquors will promote the purposes
of husbandry and commerce by encour-
aging the growth of such materials as
are peculiarly congenial to our soil and
climate and by producing valuable ar

Their reason that "the wholesome quail
ties of malt liquors greatly recommend

means Of preserving the health of the
citizens of this Commonwealth, and of
preventing the pernicious effects Of

UNDECEIvING THE YOUNG.

The San Francisco Chronicle tells a
pointed story about The danger of unde
ceiving the extremely young. The gist
of it is this : A little boy began to go to
school and his conscientious teacher
thought il well to explain to him that
Santa Claus is myth. The little boy
was not exactly satisfied, and referred
the matter to his papa at home. The
father was constrained to admit that
what the teacher had said about Santa
Claus was true. The little boy went
away sorrowfully to bed, but he re-
turned, and, as he held on the doorknob
and peeked in with his nightdress on,
he said well, there's devil, amt
there, papa ? You haven't been filling

disastrous INYEsrMENrs.

There is probably no one section in
the State of Maine where speculation in
Western investments has been so rife
and where moneyed men have been so
wofully squeezed as in the Kennebec
Valley. At one time it seemed as if ev-
erybody had gone wild to invest in
Western securities, and the effect of the
large drain on our banks was seriously
felt by business men all up and down
the river. But a shadow has come
across the spirit of their dreams, and
the most of them are in sackcloth and
ashes. A prominent bank president
who keeps pretty good run of
such matters, says that this valley alone
has sunk more than half a million dol
lars, and he thinks it will reckon up
more than two millions in Maine.
Many men in this section have gone
into these Western cities that are being
doomed for all they are worth. The
greater part of them have got back, but
many have stayed, hoping by remaining
on the spot to save something from the
wreck. They all tell the same story
everything is all excitement for few
weeks, and then the whole thing flattens
out. Two well-known gentlemen from
this city went to Kansas and became
prominent in establishing and controll-
ing large land company, with other
schemes combined. The rosy hue they
gave of the business led many of their
friends here TO make investments rang
ing all the way from $1,000 to $4,000.
But they now find themselves in trouble.
The whole concern has become en-
barrassed, and as the laws Of Kansas
are such that stockholders in Investment
concerns are liable fordouble the amount
of the fall of their stock, and the stock
holders have been called upon for an
assessment, their prospects are certain
ly very dubious

INTERESTING PLACES AMONG THE
WOODs or VRRAEONr


Some distance over the Bennington
line, in the adjoining to wn Of Woodford,
and far up on the wooded foothills of
Bald Mountain, where the partridge
drums and the bear sometimes prowls, is
an old abandoned cemetery, which is
strangely impressive in its isolation aud
loneliness. Surrounded by rude stone
wall, which has partly fallen down, the
Enclosure is filled and overrun with for
est trees, blackberry bushes and blue
berry vines. The forest comes down to
the cemetery on all sides, except at the
west, where an attempt has long been
made to rescue a few acres of barren
soil from the dominion of the woods.
The cemetery is nearly century old,
and here some of Woodford's pioneers
sleep in almost perfect quiet, for the
sound of human voice or footstep, ex-
cept that of the hunter or berry picker,
is seldom heard in this out of-the- way ,
unfrequented place. The strange situa-
ton OF this small burying-ground is &C
counted for by the fact that the old road
from Bennington to Woodford originally
ran well up on the mountain, close to
the cemetery, and number of houses
were erected along the route. But when
a new road of easy grade was laid out
through the deep valley below the high
way was abandoned, the houses fell into
decay, the cemetery was neglected and
the forest resumed its sway. Only plain
headstones, many of which are messed
and eroded by the tooth of time, mark
the resting places of the dead. The old
est inscription, on plain slab, is as fol-
