AMERICAN PRINT WORKS.

Considerable excitement was caused
in business circles at Fall River, Mass,
Tuesday by the report that an English
syndicate has made an offer for the
American Printing Company's works,
and were also negotiating for other mill
property. Mr.. G. d. Borden, the prin-
cipel owner in the print works is in
New York, and could not be interview
ed, but it is stated that bona fide offer
has been made for the property, but
has not yet been accented, 1t ia
thought, the despatch goes on to saw.
that the offer may have had something
to do with the erratic course of the
works in the print cloth market recent
ly; Mill men generally say that, out
side OF the print works and perhaps
three other corporations where large
stockholders own nearly whole con-
Germ, it would be practically impossible
to obtain control of Fall River mills on
account of the large number of stock
holders in each corporation, and the
TACT that strong buying movement
would send prices up. It is known,
however, that English capitalists have
recently made inquiries regarding the
condition of Fall River corporations and
nave expressed surprise at the large
percentage of earnings. There have
recently been large purchases of stock
made here, and it is possible that the
buying movement is in the interest of
English investors.
Stocks were very firm today under
the rumor, and holders anticipate bet
ter prices. Local mill men admit that
tall River offers tempting field to cap
ital in search of investment. and thew
would not be surprised or worried II
English capital sought investment here.

The state board Of Health.

The statement made by the president
of the Vermont Board of Health to a re-
preventative OF the Free Press, as report,
ed in this paper few days ago, demands
more than passing notice, The people
IN many places in Vermont, said the
president of the board, appear to have
less regard for their own health than
that Of their stock, He made point, too.
against the State as whole when he re
ferred to the arbitrary powers granted
the State cattle commission in cases of
epidemic, as compared with the powe.s
granted the State Board of Health; the
former can take the most stringent
measures themselves, whereas the latter
can only recommend action to the town
authorities. These matters of health reg
ul atoms demand the earnest aud intel
ligeIt attention of the people Of the
State, especially Of the town authorities
who will soon be recommended to ap-
point health officers within the limits Of
their respective towns. Town and vii
lage officers can do much to help the
State board by hearty cooperation with
it in making honest efforts to carry about
the measures proposed they can do
much on the other hand to hinder the
work Of the board by refusing such CO.
Operation or by indifference. Vermont
lis behind some of her sister States in
New England in these matters. But a
small number Of the towns have any
health officers whatever, and we fear
that in all our communities there is too
much prejudice against scientific no

known that conditions exist in any 10
Dality tending to endsnger the health Of

INrERSrATE LAR BEAUTIES.

The Argus and Patriot recalls that,
''In years past the people OF Vermont
have been treated TO cheap excursions
to the White Mountains, to Saratoga
Block Island, Boston, New York, Old
Orchard and other points, and no class
of people have been mUre ready TO vail
themselves Of these privileges tn the
farmers, but now, through their how J.
ing and fanatical opposition to railroads
which brought out the Interstate com
merce law, they as well as others are to
be cut off from these advantages, re-
cent ruling of the Inter State Commits
sion prohibiting excursions from one
state to another"
The Union, of Maucht ster. N. H., has
this to say As the provisions OF the
Interstate commerce law are put in
force, one after another, and are thus
given the test of practical application to
existing conditions, the more tyrannical
and eenseless some OF them appear.
Take, for example, the matter Of excur-
sion rates on railroad running across
state lines. Almost from the time these
roads were built, it has been the custom
to grant special rates to picnic parties
and groups Of excursionists who have
improved the opportunity for a days
pleasure in some favorite grove, beside
some lake or at the seashore. Under
such encouragement, pleasure grounds
have been fitted up and improvements
made by parties who never dreamed that
a state line would ever be permitted to
interfere with the profits on their enter
prise. Canobie lake affords good illus
tlation of how the Interstate Operates
10 interfere with the rights of people to
the pursuit of happiness under favor
able conditions. This attractive sheet
of water is at a convenient distance from
Lawrence aud Lowell, Mass, cities which
have contributed materially to its de-
velopement as a pleasure resort No one
ever thought for a moment that these
populous centers were in one State and
the lake in another. until the Inter State
Commerce bill became a law and the de-
cision was gravely rendered that rail-
roads could not make favorable rates TO
parties proposing to cross a
State line. 1t is a senseless restriction
on the right of corporation to do bust
ness in Its own way within reasonable
limits, and has it's origin in the insane
desire of some people to legislate on any
thing under the sun. Lest some one
should enjoy a ride at half rates while
else paid full fare, the people
Of this country have clamored for law
which shuts themselves and their fami
lies out from a days pleasure at a cost
to the company which would
willingly transport them. And this mat
ter of excursions across State lines,
which is just now attracting consider
able attention, is only a slight affair
either, compared with other annoy
lnces and restrictions to which railroad
have been subjected.
There were palpable evils which the In
,er.State law attempted to correct, ut the
people are likely to learn, through its
practical operations, that bad law, like
\ good rule, works both ways"

AN AMUSING INoIDENT OF THE WAR.


Zone of the funniest incidents that

the late war;" said Col. Mosby, SOC
CURED in cavalry fight in the Shen-
andoah Valley along in 1864. In TIE
midst of a cavalry engagement with
Sheridan's men, in charge near Berry
vile, there came crushing like whirl-
wind into our ranks, a Yankee soldier
on a big black horse. A score of men
tried to stop the horse and rider, but
the old blacks blood was up, and he
went on clean through the lines before
he was under control. The rider was
sent to Libby Prison and we mustered
the black charger into the Confederate
service: A few days later we charged
some Of Clusters men, and I'll be -
if that old horse didn't return the CON-
pliment by carrying 'reb' into the
