whatever assistance from the clergy he
may desire The military of Mobile
and other neighboring towns have tele-
graphed they will come here in time to
swell the grand demonstration of respect
in honor of the dead, and at present
writing it promises to be the grandest and
most impressive affair that has occurred in
the history of the South.
Three weeks ago, in the midst of a cold
rain storm on one of the dreariest morn
ings of the year, Jefferson Davis was
carried from the steamer feathers to
the Payne mansion. Tonight at about
1I:l5 all that was mortal of Jefferson Da-
Wis was carried from the Payne mansion to
the city hall in a hearse. 1t was weird
and solemn scene. At 1855, hearing
the low rumbling OF wheels in the street
the afflicted widow took last farewell of
his ashes one kiss was imprinted on the
pale, cold lips, and she turned sorrowfully
away to the solitude OF her own apart

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

The Eiffel tower has been smiled at
as the great folly of the exhibition,
but the giant manikin of iron threads
possesses a value apart from its os-
tentatiousness. From its highest
balcony there is visible a beautiful
panorama of seventy miles of hills,
rivers, lakes, towns and hamlets,
which no painter can place on can
vas, nopoet transcribe in verse. The
summit, at total height of nearly
1000 feet or nearly double that of
the Washington monument, and
nearly 600 feet higher than St. Pc
ter's in Rome will be utilized for
scientific purposes, the public being
permitted to ascend only about two
thirds of the way in elevators, which
can provide transportation for 25,-
900 persons daily The prices vary
There are stairways for those who
prefer the older mode of ascension,
and restaurants and saloons will
enable pleasure-parties to spend days
in the air The observatory will be
for experiments touching
spectroscopic and telluric rays for
vegetable chemistry, meteorology, at
electricity and optical tel
egraphy. 1t is hoped that the lights
of the sun and stars can be anylized,
and that a solar and lunar photo
apparatus can also be used
with novelty and advantage, especi
ally when eclipses take place near the
horizon. The total weight Of the
tower is $4,000 tons and its cost
81 100000.
The admission to the exposition
grounds is only 20 cents for all the
and once in it is I'M
necessary to leave them tRtil the
hour for closing at night. There are
ample resources for feeding the null
titudes at moderate prices, the res
taurants being under official control

A shocking railroad accident Oc-
Cured June IL, near Armagh, Ire,
to an excursion train containing a
large number of Methodist Sunday
school scholars, their teachers and
friends who were on their way to
Warren Point, a watering-place at
the mouth of the Newry river in
county Down. Seventy-two bodies
were taken from the wreck. The in
jured number more than 100. The
excursion party left Armagh in two
trains. The accident occurred at a
point where the trains had to ascend
a grade on bank so feet high. The
first train assembled the grade with
out trouble. The second section at
tempted the ascent, but the weight
of the train proved too great for the
engine. Several cars were detached
and allowed to run back toward the
level track, but before they reached
it they came in collision with an Or
binary train from Armaugh, which
was proceeding at a good rate of
speed. The excursion cars were COM
pletely wrecked.
The scene which ensued was heart
rending. Hosts of volunteers were
soon at hand and the dead and
wounded were taken from the wreck
and carried down the bank. Medi-
cal aid was called and a special train
from Belfast took to the scene 20
surgeons from that city and a num-
Der of medical men from other places
between Belfast and Armagh. The
disaster is unparalleled in the rail
road history of Ireland. The acct
dent has cast a gloom over Armagh.
The engineer, fireman and guard of
the train and the traffic managers
clerk were summoned before a mag
istrate and were remanded on the
charge of being responsible for the
accident. At the formal inquest the
magistrate said it appeared that
there had been most culpable negli-
gence.
The number of injured is about
One-third of the entire number of pas
sengers. Many of these are certain
to succumb to the effects of their in
juries McGrath, the engineer of the
wrecked train, Parkinson, fireman,
Moore, guard, and Elliot, the traffic
managers clerk, are held on the spe-
cific charge of having by their negli
gence caused the death of Mr.. Steel,
clerk of the petty sessions, and his
two children, who were among the

VERMONT Observation-Disclosures.

The general convention of COngre-
gational churches and ministers of
Vermont was held at Windsor last
week, and was, as usual, interesting
throughout The report of the Fair
banks board of education showed an
expenditure for the year of 1926, in
aid of nine different students in vari-
Gus colleges and academies, and a
balance of $11Oin the treasury. The
Sunday school committee report
showed slight falling off from last
wear in membership, attendance, and
contributions Chittenden county,
however, showed some gains. The
report of the Fairbanks fund for min
listers showed an expenditure during
the year of $173O.
The list annual session of the Yer
mont domestic missionary society
was held on the 18th. The treasurer
reported total of receipts of $9661,
with expenditures to the amount of
$9142, and a balance on hand of
1919. Besides, $562S had been for
warded to the national society at
New York. The announcement that
a debt of some $4,000 had been en-
tIrely wiped out was received with
applause. Very interesting and Wig
OrOuS addresses were made by sever
al clergymen.
The report of the conventions

The amount of building, including
street car railways, laying out and
grading streets and lots and laying
sidewalks, is immense. Friday, Sat
urday and Sunday were all beautiful,
clear, bright days. Business and i'm
provements are booming here; dol
lars are changing hands here where
cents are in Vermont, and the only
talk among the residents is that Sc
attic is bound to rank among the
largest of western cities. There is a
continual growth every year. Land
is high and there may be a dull sea-
son, but in my opinion it will be
higher before it will be lower. Not
withstanding the immense number Of
stores and dwellings that are being
built, the rent is scarce and high
priced. Tenements rent from 500 to
$50 per month, and stores from $40
to $500 per month, according to size
and locality and value of building.
The weather is just comfortable,
pretty warm in the sun but cool in
the shade, with a good sea breeze.
