A BILL has been introduced II both
houses of the general assembly to
permit the use of the Hermitage
farm, the home of Gen. Jackson,
which contains some 800 acres, for
disabled and INDECENT ex-confeder-
ate soldiers. This effort to establish
a home for Tennessee's brave sons,
who we're lncapacitated By war, for
the hard struggle of life, in defence
of their own homes, aud for princi-
pies which they believed TO be just
and right, should meet with the
hearty approval and cooperation of
every member of the Legislature.
There are few states in the South
that do not provide for their wound
ed soldiers, but Tennesses happens
to be among that number,
and the quicker she quits
the ranks, the more honor she
will reflect upon....her good name.
Tie poor helpless confederate col
dier has no government e, give him

eminent lie his government

loyal % it, as he is TO every other
cause which he espoHses4 bat bT
reason Of the nature of the part be
took in the late struggle, the VFeN-
cnt government refuses 10 pension
him. The Valor exhibite d on hum
dreds OF battle fields by soldiers u
the "Volunteer State" deserves
recognition in a substatial manner.
The best years of their lives weIS
given to the service of their state,
and by exposure To weather, and
undergoing the hardships Of war,
many who were fortunate enough TO
escape without wounds, were ruined
in health, and in their declining
years, humanity demands that the
pathway to their graves be made as
smooth as possible. In numerous
cemeteries and public places IN the
state, handsome marble monuments
are reared to commemorate the
valor of those whose lives we're lost
in the defense Of their country.
This is proper; but it is our duty %
look after those who remain with
us, whose empty sleeves and wood.
en- crutches remind us that they al-
so were by the sides of those who

WE clip fhe following from the
Banner and ask the
careful reading Of it by our people. (:
That the people OF Tennessee
will very strongly and resOiutely ,,
oppose the proposition to tax them
selves to pay the nearly 1000, 900
claimed by Tennessee bank depOSio
tors is evident. A mum Der Of the
public journals Of the state have ex-
pressed their opposition to this scheme
and indicated the popular objection
to making one class of losers BY the
war the beneficiaries of increased
taxation upon the people of the
state, The McMinnYille Standard
says:
The Tullahoma Guardian suggests the
statute OF limitation against the state
bank depositers. If there ever was
place In which that law could apply Wlth
justice this certainly is enc.
NeiPs State Gazette gays:
It safe to say that Tennessee will not
tax herself to pay the depOztors In the
Bank Of Tennessee.
The Gibson County Herald says:
We hope the present members Of the
| legislature-the guardians of the peoples
rights will fight this bill to the death,
and thereby receive the pIaudits OF their
constituents.
The Cook vile Press says:
Now, would it be RICH and proper for
| the legislature to burden the taxpayers
of the state to crafty few executors and
able attorneys, and net at the same time
make like provisions for the thousands OF
other demands that are just az msrito-

LONDONDERRY, w. THURSDAY EVENING MARCH 2 1889.

nesses were summoned Thursday,
and Thursday evening he was found
guilty of four offences under the old
law, and three under the law of 1888.
He was also found guilty of keeping
with intent to sell. The fine was fixed
at $500, and the two jugs of liquor
were condemned. On Saturday Blan-
chard was taken to the House of Cor
rection at Rutland, he being unable
to pay his fine.
General satisfaction is expressed
at the result of the trial Thursday
evening. Blanchard has been an un-
pleasant member in the community
for some time, and his sales to young
boys have provoked just contempt on
the part Of all right-minded citizens.
1t is to be sicerely hoped that he will
never be seen in Newfane again.

evening to Carrie Gates of Bellows

ALDEN,s MANIFOLD CYcLOPEDIA

ALDEN'S MANIFOLD CYCLOPEDIA.
Volume XII carries this work from Debt
to Dominic. The $40 pages which are
packed with information of just the kind
which the vast majority of reading people
desire to obtain. Like its predecessors it
is truly manifold in its character. In a
single volume it gives an unabridged die
tionary, and cS clopedia of information
which is ample for practical use, is fully
reliable, and is brought down to the pres
ent year. Among the articles treated at
some length we notice that Debt, with
its various sub-headS. has over pages !;
while kindred topics, as Debtor and Cred
itor, occupy over pages more. Dele
ware has about pages; Delirium Tre-
mems, 4 pages; Democracy, nearly
pages; Denmark. about 10 pages; Den
tistry, about pages; Decent of Man. s
pages; Development, IL pages; Diet, 8
pages; Digestion, 20 pages; Diphtheria,
s pages. There are, also, large number
of really helpful illustrations. The form
of the book is most convenient; the paper,
printing, and binding are all very good.
This is emphatically the Cyclopedia for
the people, and the extremely low price
only 30 cents volume in cloth, or 65
cents in half Morocco-brings it within
the reach of all. A specimen volume may
be ordered and returned if not satisfactory.

Though she hast much to say;

Cars for the Dead.

The Brill car works at Thirty-first and
Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, have just
finished three street cars designed to
transport the dead in Buenos Ayres. The
cars are unique In construction and are
the first Of the kind made in this coun-
try. They are first, second and third
class, the first being designed to carry
the body Of wealthy individual, the
last the corpse Of pauper. The first
class car is very handsome. The body is
a rich black. toned with purple. with pas
sion flowers painted on the sides. The
windows are of French plate glass. The
seats, folding up against the sides, are
upholstered in black blush, and the win
dow curtains are black cloth trimmed
with gold bullion.
In the forward end Of the car is an
altar, with silver cross and candelabra,
while on either side the altar are
cathedral purple stained glass windows.
The interior of the car is finished in
white and gold. The metal work is
nickel plated and handsome in design.
On the top nine large sable plumes are
placed. The other cars are much simpler
and palmer in design, and the third class
car has merely row of shelves for thr
coffins. These cars are intended to run
on the street car tracks in Buenos Ayres,
and will be switched off on a side track
nearest the house of the dead person.
The body is carried on bier to the car,

The Green mountain Summer Home
Company is the title of corporation
composed Of Troy and Bennington
capitalists, and is organized for the
purpose of developing the advantages
of the mountain town of Woodford,
as a summer resort. The most active
members of the company, and its
present business manager is Post
master Herbert w. Martin of Ben
nington, and on it's list of stockhold-
ers are the names of s. B. Sanford of
Troy, R. c. Root Of New York city,
Col. E. D. Bennett, superintendent of
the Bennington and Rutland railroad,
Amos Aldrich and j. r. Mallory of
Woodford. The site selected is the
grove and picnic grounds at Wood
ford Hollow. The soil is smooth
and level for an area of almost four
acres, and is bounded by high bluff
and stony bedded river, which COM
bine to lower its temperature during
the heated term, while it receives suf-
ficient sunlight to prevent unhealthy
dampness. The company will erect
small cottages and furnish them with
everything necessary for keeping
house-except bed clothing, silver,
dishes, etc., which would require Toe
much care-and rent them at mod
crate price to those who do not fee
able to pay the high rates usually
charged for seasons outing. A
fancy pavilion will be erected to ac,
commodate pleasure seekers from
neighboring places. who will be
brough thither on the railroad excur.
sions which have been arranged for.
