Centennial Preparations.

AIOPuAaIVAbs
Quartermaster General William H.
Gilmore has returned from New
York, where he received every at
tention from the Washington centen-
NAL commissioners and completed
arrangements for the entertainment
of the National Guard of Vermont,
and for the commissioners and the
Governors staff; and, if these are
carried out according to the under
stood programme, the representatives
of this state cannot but feel repaid
for their time, care and trouble. At
the present time the subscriptions
are not coming in very fast; only
$1,000 has been raised, while the com
mission say $4,000 will be needed.
Col. w. Seward Webb, president
of the Wagner Car Co., has rendered
special sleeping car to Gov. Dilling-
ham, commissioned and staff for their
trip to and from the centennial.
All persons desiring to purchase
tickets to the grand ball should send
their names to Mr.. T. S. Peck, 167
College street Burlington, without
delay. The price of the ticket is $40
for each person, and all orders must
be in by April 6.

A Washington correspondent sa,

A Washington correspondent says
of a gentleman of an inquiring turn
of mind, having had his curiosity
aroused By attendance upon his first
inaugural, sought Senator Edmunds
for information. +" Who notified Cen
eral Harrison that he had been elect
ed President of the United States "
d" Nobody. The law makes no pro-
vision for such notification. The
President elect takes cognizance of
the fact by general report, the same
as the Supreme Court Justices, and, !"
continued the Vermont Senator, with
a merry twinkle in his eyes, I" in 100
years there has never been a case of
failure on the part of the right man
to learn of his election in time to be
present on Inauguration day."

VERMONT STAR ROUTE.

The mail route between Woodstock
and Bridgewater, distance of six
miles, appears to be star route that
does not need congressional inves-
tigation, but does deserve some notice.
For the past four years it has cost
Uncle Sam only four cents for daily
mail service on this route, and for
ensuing four years one cent is to pay
for the same service. If warrants
are drawn quarterly, they will call for
only one-sixth of cent each, and
the contractor will have to wait four
years, or until he has received 16
warrants, before he can draw his
cash. William Billings, who is be-
lieved by his friends to have seen
more years of stage driving than any
other man now living, is to carry the
mail over this route.

HURON, Dak., March 31.-Terri.
Bile prairie fires are reported from all
parts of the county between here and
Cavour on the east, and for several
miles north of that place. The
country is almost entirely burned
over. Many farmers have suffered
the loss of houses, barns, hay and
grass. South and southwest of this
city, settlers have suffered equally as
much. The velocity of the wind was
40 miles an hour, driving the flames
with fearful rapidity. 1t was the
most destructive fire in the county
for years, and it is feared the worst
has MT been learned.

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR OF FINANCE ]
WOODSTOCK, Mar. 26, 1889. (
To the Treasurer There is a
prevalent belief that more or less
money is deposited just before the
first of April, to avoid taxation, and
drawn out again soon after to be
placed where it will earn greater re-
turns. To determine, if possible,
how this is | desire a statement of
the aggregate of deposits at the close
of business March 80, and at the
close of business April 80, next.
State whether in your opinion the de-
posits in March and the Withdrawals
in April are unusual as compared
with the other months of the year,
particularly the Withdrawals in April.
If you have any reason to think
the money of individuals is deposited
in the names of others to avoid taxa
tion and dray dividends beyond the
limit fixed by law, please so state and
give the aggregate involved.
Very truly,

WASHINGTON, March S1.-An or

Department providing for weekly in

forenoon. There was considerable
complaint that Sunday in the army
was the hardest day in the week, and
the whole morning had to be devoted
to cleaning up and getting ready for
inspection. Hereafter all this work
will be done on Saturday, and Sat-
urday afternoon will be made a half
holiday, to be devoted to such athletic
recreation as may be specified by the

KNOWLEDGE OF LANGUAGE,

Volume XII. of Alden's Manifold Cyco-
pedia is now issued. A careful inspection
prompted in part by desire to satisfy
ourselves, and partly in order that We
might keep our readers correctly inform
ed, convinces us that all the strong COM
mendations which have been bestowed
upon previous volumes is in equal meas
ure due to this. tits, of course, publish
ed in the same handy form and is just as
convenient to use as its predecessors.
This is no small matter, as all who have
had occasion to consult the unwieldy vol
umes in which cyclopedias usually appear
can testify. Passing to the contents of
the book we find the same thoroughness
and fidelity which has characterized the
previous issues. The broad field has been
carefully CLEANED. The result of long
continued investigation are presented in
an attractive and available form. Open
it where you will, the book offers rich
treasures of knowledge. This volume
takes the work from Dominis to Electric
Clock. Among the articles treated at
more or less length we notice the follow.
ing: Dormant Vitality, pages; Drain
age Gin Agriculture), about pages
Drama. over 10 pages; Dfeing, 5 pages,
Dye-Stuffs, about pages; Ear, 8 pages;
Earthquake, pages; Easter, pages;
Eclipse, 8 pages; Education (lncluding
Military, State and National, with valu-
able statistics), AZ pages; and Egypt,
nearly "a pages. Electric Units. over
page, embraces the nomenclature recently
made by leading scientists and is here
first published in Cyclopedia. This
work is Dictionary as well as Cyclic
pedia-a fact which adds greatly to its
other merits. 1t seems almost incredible
that such work can be sold for so cents
a volume in good cloth binding, or 65
cents in half Morocco, with 10 cents ad-
ditional for postage, but that is all that is
asked. A specimen volume may be order
ed and returned if not satisfactory.

'Prohibitionists are meeting with
such serious defeats over the country
that they may well be in despair.
Their prohibition policy has never
prohibited, and hence is in bad odor.
No law, prohibitory or otherwise, can
be enforced without the hearty sympa-
thy of the people and the support of
a majority of voters. Prohibition has
less and less sympathy year by year
as it's leaders avow their purpose of
destroying the Republican party to
secure their object.-Graphic.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The
nomination of Murat Halstead to be
Minister to Germany was rejected by
the Senate by vote Of rs to 49,.
The reason of the rejection, as ad-
mitted by the Republican Senators
who have opposed Mr.. Halstead'
headed by Cullom, Teller and Evarts,
is his severe criticism of the Repub-
lican Senators who helped "Coal-
Oil" Payne to Ohio thought. Mr..
Hoar spoke vigorously in favor of
Mr.. Halstead's confirmation. Editor
Watterson of Louisville has been
most active in helping Halstead.

MEMORIES OF THE HEART.

Softly through the glades of memory
Steals my heart In thought tonight,
Catching here and there sun. beam
That my childhood's days made bright;
TIL once more am lassie,
Rosy checked as days of yore,
With my mothers arms around me
As I find them-nevermore.
stin In thought the years glide onward,
TIL stand blushing bride,
With my laddle In life's battle,
Marching onward side by side.
Love, our captain gives us courage
Grief and trials sore to bear,
Paints with hope our coming future,
Gilds with brightness toll and care.
Swiftly still my memory bears me,
Baby lips are pressed to mine,
And my heart with pride is beating
Filled with mother love divine.
How we watched her't tiny footsteps
TIL our baby walked alone,
Now maiden fair she greets us
In these years a woman grown.
Now my laddie's bent and feeble
And my locks are silver gray,
But our hearts are true and loyal
As upon our wedding day.
And when evening shades are falling
Hand in hand with voices low,
In our hearts we live them over,
Blessed days of long ago.

Murat Halstead is editor of the

shoulder, even if it did hit Repub-

comes Pres. Harrison who gives the
able editor the mission to Germany
or rather the appointment, forup bobs
these Senators, who it seems felt keen
ly Halstead's excoriations, and with
the aid of the Democrats, headed by
"coal oil Payne" defeat his confr-

no objection to the ability or fitness
of the editor for the position but
brought forth files of his paper to
show that he heaped indignity upon
them. How the CALLED jades WINGED.

Mr.. Butler was born in Jamaica.
Wind lam county May 2S, 1854, and

having completed his law course in
the office of Hon. Z. L. Waterman,
now leading lawyer of Brattleboro,
and Hon. hoyt H. Wheeler, Judge
of the United States circuit court, at
Jamaica and he Immediately began
the practice of his profession. He
has varied, successful and growing
practice, and has won the favor and
esteem of the Rutland public. He is
an able, energetic lawyer and his
opinions in legal matters carry with
them weight and respect; and the
Court may relieve the
County Court to no inconsiderab' |
extent. The rules of practice are the
same in this court as in the County
Court; and all questions of law NAV
