The little story, or sketch, printed on our
first page today derives certain degree of
local interest from the fact that its subject,
Miss Emily Ward, is said to be native of
Vermont, though her birthplace is not Civ
en-. An account of her life says that she
was pioneer in Michigan, and that, left
motherless when only little girl she not
only brought up her younger brothers and
sisters, but their children. In this way she
trained fourteen children from childhood to
maturity, and six others for periods of sew
eral years" Her eightieth birthday, which
occurred recently, was made the occasion
of large reception, when, the Detroit Tr-

SOUTHERN VERMONT TAKE NO

From the Sunday Republican.
There is no doubt about the fact that bet
ter roads are being kept throughout West
ern Massachusetts, than ever before. This
is leading to more carriage journeys every
summer, and this sort Of travel in its turn
is elevating the quality of the hotels in our
small towns and making it profitable to pro
vide good accommodations for man and
beast. City coaching parties are finding
out that Berkshire and the Connecticut val
ley offer a rare field for delightful excur-
sions by private conveyance. There is mu-
tual benefit in all this, and as local pride is
stirred it will be recognized that good roads
are more than home convenience

The vote against the proposed prohbito
ry amendment to the Massachusetts consti-
tuition was unexpectedly decisive the total
majority against it being A, 359. Boston's
adverse majority about 20, 900, was enough
to be decisive, but the surprising thing is
that in the country towns, outside of all
the cities, the majority against the amend
ment was between 5000 and 5000 votes
The result is not to be accepted as a vote
in favor of the liquor interest, but as a
declaration that the people do not believe
in putting in the constitution what is prop
erly matter for statutory enactment, and
what will become a dead letter unless
strongly supported by public sentiment
An illustration of this is found in the fact
that Cambridge and Quincy, towns which
voted "no license" for themselves by de.
cisive majorities, voted against the amend
ment.

The New York Times, which constantly
uses magnifying glass to discover an oc-
casion for railing at the new administra,
ton, recently accused Postmaster General
Wanamaker of misusing his official position
to advance his private business. The charge
was based on the circumstance that an ad-
vertising circular had been received by a
postmaster in West Virginia from the
Philadelphia clothing firm of Wanamaker &
Brown. The circular requested this post
master to act as the firms selling agent in
his locality, or TO recommend some one who
would do so. 1t appears from a statement
of the firm that Mr. Wanamaker. the post
master general, has no business interest in
the concern whatever, and that the circu-
lar in question was sent out in accordance
with policy which the firm has followed
for the past ten years. 1t was prepared
aud sent out without the slightest reference
TO the fact that Republican administration
was coming in, or that Mr.. Wanamaker
was to be postmaster general.

There is one member of the Washington
family, who it is said, will not be present
at next weeks celebration because she is
too poor to grace social events in New York 4"

the great granddaughter of Samuel Wash
ington, full brother of George Her grand
father, George Stephen Washington, was
raised and educated by Gen. Washington,
and was one of the five nephews named by
Washington as executors of his will, and to
each of whom he willed one of his swords
Miss Washington is daughter of the Hon
William Temple Washington, and a great
niece of Mrs. Madison. "After the war"
self-relance was her only estate, and Gen
Grant appointed her to place in the post
Office department which she has since held.
She can well afford to keep at her work, with
iustifable pride in her ancestry, and smile
at the freaks of what the Boston Record
calls "Ward McAllister's Goldfish aristocra-
cy."

SOME POINTS ABOUT FERTILIZERS.

A complete fertilizer is one that con.
tains in proper proportions nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash. When in.
tended for special crops manufacturers
vary the proportions somewhat to cor,
respond in some degree with what anal.
ysis has shown the different plants re-
quire. Thus there is great difference
ln the amount of potash required by diff.
ferent plants. As stated by the Ken.
tucky Experiment Station, an acre OF
wheat yielding twenty bushels requires
about twenty-eight pounds of potash,
while an avarage crop of potatoes re.
quires 100 pounds of potash per acre, and
nn acre of tobacco yielding $500 pounds
of leaves and stalks require over zoe
pounds. Generally worn out soil re.
guires all three of these elements to be
combined in a fertilizer in order that il
may be useful; hence it is far safer to
buy such than TO presume upon any one
Of them being sufficient. Owing to the
wide differences in soils no rule can be
given by which to tell what fertilizer is
the best for any particular crop, and this
question must be decided by actual
trial.
In regard to the manner of applying
fertilizers, it is generally best to SOW
broadcast or drill and work well into the
soil before planning. When a small
quantity is applied to each hill or row at
planting time it acts mainly as a stimu-
liant to produce an early and vigorous
growth, which is considered necessary
for the tobacco crop, but oftener renders
it more sensitive to drought. Care
should be taken to mix the fertilizer with
the soil so that it will not come in i'm
mediate contact with the seed or tender
plants. .-yNelc York World.

Eastern Beggars.

Beggary throughout the East is a
thriving profession. There are guilds of
beggars, besides the numerous commu-
mites of dervishes who are semi-religious
mendicants. Many families have been
beggars for generations, and are mendi-
cants from choice. Some of these pro.
fessional beggars are actually wealthy.
Four-and-twenty years ago the writer
well remembers case. The Chief Beg
gar (the title was not conferred in deris-
ion) gave his daughter in marriage to q
substantial farmer. The girls dowry
consisted of two freehold houses, the
rooms of which were entirely filed with
dry pieces of bread, and the sales of these
begged crusts subsequently realized n
considerable sum, being disposed of as
food for cattle. 1t must be remembered
that in the East there is no organized
charity, that most Mussulmans are ex-
ceedingly charitable, many giving away
a fifth and some even a third of their
income. Under such circumstances it is
not be wondered at that the professional
beggar thrives. Good Words.

A Chinese Bank.

In the course of few weeks il is ex-
pected that Chinese banking house will
be opened in the heart of Chinatown. The
originators of the project include Mr..
Chu Fong, the most dressy of Cinnamon
and cashier of several importing firms and
many other Mott street firms. The in
stitution will be the first of its kind in
this country 1t is the desire of Mr. Chu
Fong and his associates in the scheme to
run the bank upon the basis of a savings
institution. A small rate of interest is to
be paid to each regular depositor, and
the money is to be let out on bigger in.
terest to legitimate Chinese business
houses in Mott street. The present rate
of interest in Mott street is between ten
and fifteen per cent for all small loans on
good security. tits very singular thing,
and yet it is an uudeniable fact, especial
ly in this city, that the more ignorant a
Chinaman is in the English language and
ways the more money he has. As rule
those Cinnamon who know how to talk
and deal with the Americans are the poor

ArrrAr WEEDS.

Many an otherwise good cultivator,
says A. b. Allen, in the New York
tribune, is very careless as to destruction
of autumn weeds, thinking his crops arc
30 well grown that letting them alone
can do no particular harm. But if wd
consider that the heads are rapidly
ripening seeds by the million, TO be
blown over the land in every direction,
TO germinate the following spring, wd
would undoubtedly be more careful in
not permitting them to stand. One need
not necessarily take time to root the
weeds out during this busy season; ha
has only to resort to the much quicker
and lighter task of clipping the seed.
heads from their stalks. This should be
done before or just as they begin to bios.
som, for if cut in full flower many seeds
will form and ripen from the nutrimeni
they derive from the cut stalks.
One man will easily pass over several
acres a day with sickle OF scythe, cutting
close up to the blossom-heads on the
stalk, all of which will rot well during
winter and act as beneficial mulch to tho
soil and as fertilizer to the crops the fol.
lowing spring and summer. All annual
weeds may be thus treated but the pc.
rennial must be extirpated by pulling or
plowing out their roots. In doing this
care should be taken to secure even the
smallest fibres, as these enlarge rapidly,
some even during winter, and make
tiourishng plants not easily extirpated
the coming spring. Sheep may be bene-
4icially turned on various parts of the
land, especially among corn, when the
ears grow so high they cannot reach
them, and will be content by nibbling
the weeds so close to the ground as tc
destroy them.
