of the chewing-gum habit.
Three separate glycerine magazines,
containing over ten tons of glycerine, blew
up Sunday morning at North Clarendon,
about seven miles from Warren, Penn.
No one, SO far as can be learned, was in
jured. Nearly every window in Clarendon
was broken and much damage done to
surrounding property. The loss is esti-
mated at 100000.
The funeral exercises over the remains
of Jefferson Davis at New Orleans, on last
week Wednesday, were attended by vast
throngs of people, and Union and Confed-
crate veterans marched side by side to
honor his memory. The exercise were
entirely devoid of any religious distinc-
tion or sectionalism, and were performed
according to the rites of the Episcopal
church. The remains were viewed at City
Hall. Memorial services were held throuh-
out Georgia.
Wilfred Woodruff, George Q. Cannon
and Joseph +. Smith, apostles of the Nor
mon church, have issued another manifes-
to, unqualifiedly denying all charges made
against the church in the recent hearing
before Judge Anderson. So far from any
doctrine or teaching of the church being
hostile to the United States government,
members of the church are under divine
command to revere the constitution as a
heaven-lnspired instrument and obey as
supreme all laws made in pursuance of its
provisions.
The treasury department has notified
all national banks holding United States
funds that they must reduce their depos-
it's of United States money at once to a
minimum which it mentions. The small
banks will invariably have their deposits
reduced to $50, 900 each. Large banks,
which have had from $500, 900 to one or
two millions, will come down from fifty
to seventy-five per cent, so that the grand
aggregate of S47 100000 of deposits will
be brought down to probably S12,0OO,0 900
within the next thirty days.

Fresh Eggs Every Day.

A good story is told of a grocer not far from Bos-
ton town who had a customer that must have fresh
eggs every day. The grocer weary of having the
eggs retured as not fresh, tried putting the date
when laid upon all eggs sent to the customers
house. By this means, it is sad grocers be-
come expert to be able to ottain fresh laid,
Eastern or Western eggs, all from the basket,
with our Boston grocer man it worked a harm.
until one morning when preparing the eggs to send
to his troublesome customer, he forgot the day of
the month and dated the eggs ahead. At evening
he was visited by the gentleman, who producing
ing smile, "these eggs to be laid to-mor-
row. This story illustrates how difficult it is

New England Industries.

Here is a bit of sound common
sense, in the Manufacturer Gazette,
/ that is commended to the attention of
the croakers who think New England S
manufacturing industries are going
to the dogs. Its reference to one of
| Vormont's manufacturing establish
ments adds to its interest. The Ga
zette says:
Those who are inclined to believe
that New England is losing her pres
tige in the line of manufacturing in
dustries, and that she is not able to
compete with the west and south in
the production of manufactured iron
will do we'll to note the following ::
Secretary Tracy of the navy depart
ment has awarded the contracts for

pany of Montpelier, vt. New Eng
land may we'll be proud of her indus
tries, and especially such as the above.
All of these concerns are very large,
and we believd they are not excelled.
even if equalled, by those in any 9th
er part of the country. All that is
needed to keep New England indus
tries in the lead is some of the en-
couragement that is being given by
some of her capitalists to southern
and western enterprises. We have
the best facilities, the best skill and
knowledge and the most advanced
ideas, and these should be employed
at home than obliged to seek employ
ment elsewhere. 1t is fact that is
proven by experience that New Eng
land has furnished the skill and
knowledge, the mechanics and arti-
sans, as we'll as goodly share of the
capital that has made successful the
industrial undertakings of the south
and west.

From Colorado.

Editor Of the Monitor Thanks
giving day in Colorado, and that my
friends, amongst your readers, may
learn that /, although good ways
off, am enjoying my turkey and elk
ms just the same as you are back in
Old Vermont. A few remarks about
the Queen City of the plains, may be
of interest to some of your readers,
and, although may sound large, can
be verified by official figures. Den
yer has grown in the past eight years
from 3j, 900 to 135, 900 inhabitants
307 per cent. 1t has 397 manufac-
tories, employing 8 ,409 persons, pay
ing in wages S5,S2O,34S, with a
gross product of 30,333,360 in
value. The average wages paid is
$40 per annum, greater than else
where. There are twelve millions
worth of new buildings in process of
erection, and the real estate sales
for 1889 will exceed sixty millions.
The city has over 80 miles of cable
and electric railroads running in all
directions is the terminal point for
eighteen different railroads. When
it is considered that Colorado en-
braces over 66,00O,000 acres, or a
territory equal to England, Ireland,
Scotland and Wales, with every pros
pect of great agricultural develope-
ments, by aid of irrigation canals,
and by the powerful mining interests.
(the production of precious metals
for 1888 exceeding thirty-tive mil
lions,) it is foregone conclusion
that Denver must forever be the
metropolis of this great region, and
continue to grow and improve indefi-
nately. Among the elegant buildings
now in process of construction, may
be mentioned the Metropolis hotel of
granite and red sand stone, to cost
$1.OO0,OO0. The Boston block,
costing hundreds of thousands; the
Masonic temple; the State capitol
where 200 granite masons are daily
at work, and scores of other edifices.
The residences are either Of brick or
stone; the fire regulations prohibit
any wooden structure, and as
the stone used is of many different
colors, combined with the very latest
architecture, produce effects to
which Vermont eyes are not accus-
toned. Since last May, three new
National banks have opened in Den
yer, in addition to the dozen or more
already existing. Denver is city
of houses and in every direction may
be seen scores of pretty cottages,
occupied by owners mostly, who hold
absolute and straightforward title to
their lands from the Uuited States
Government, within the last thirty
years.
If some of our people who are
tired of the small returns in invest
ments in the east, would only come
here and see for themselves the gold
en- opportunities, they would, | think,
at least know what to do with some
of their money. 1t is impossible to
speak of all the attraction of this
little giant of the far west, in one
article.
AS l intend locating here, will
write more at some future time.

CoIored Emigration.

For some time past a large number
of people in the Southern States have
believed, or affected to believe, that
the only relief possible to them from
the terror of ''Negro Supremacy
lies in the expectation of the colored
race, or of large numbers of colored
persons, out of the states where they
are now living. A recent anonymous
writer has published book called
can Appeal to Pharaoh" in which
he proposes that every year there
should be exported 12,500 Negresses
% years old. He calculates that
such process would cut off the in
crease of the race to such an extent
that in the course os few decades
the colored podulation would be re-
duced ia very small numbers, and
would eventually die out. Some
Southeastern newspapers, like the
Birmingham Age-Herald, have sug-
gested that portion of our own
territory be set off for Negro State,
to be filled from the states where
now there is large colored popula
ton.
These propositions are significant
as showing the unwillingness of the
Southeastern democrats to allow the
colored people to live longer among
them, and it is not surprise to find
that two senators-Messrs. Butler,
of South Carolina, and Gibson, of
Louisiana-have already introduced
bills providing for the emigration of
colored persons. Senator Buffers
bill appropriates s5,0O0,0O0 to assist
poor colored persons who desire to
emigrate to foreign countries Sen
ator Gibson's bill instructs the COM
mittee on Foreign Affairs to enquire
into the expediency and practicable
ity of acquiring or setting apart ter
ritory for the occupancy of the
Negro or colored citizens of the
United States," and how far and in
what manner the government of fhe
United States can and ought to aid
the freedmen and their families to
emigrate to such territory.
1t is not at all likely that either of
these bills will even be reported fav-
orably from the committees to which
they were sent, much less that they
will be passed or receive executive
approval. They serve to show, how
ever, the tread of the Southeastern
sentiment. The democrats of the
States recently in rebellion are deter
mined never to adopt the solution of
the "Negro question that lies near
est at hand-to allow the colored
people the political and civil rights
guaranteed to them by the constitu-
tion-and they wish, therefore to
get rid of them, and if the govern
ment of the United States can be
made to pay for the riddance so much
the better for them.-MdI and ET-
press.

As usual on such occasions, where
there is no dignity in the proceedings
and small interest in the subject, one
half unconsciously takes note of small
things. / was struck with the intense
pallor of President Harrison and Sec
retary Blaine: Mr.. Blaine's pallor
was extreme, and neither looked like
we'll man. When theVice-Presi-
dent and the Senate came in, they
were all dressed in decorous black
except Senator Quay, who wore a
suit of ugly, obtrusive brown that
seemed to swear at every other suit
| in the crowd. Justice Lamar attracted
much attention, as it has been eX-
pected that he would be far away at
tending ceremonies of far different
character, the services of sorrow in
stead of triumph. That Mr.. Lamar
would have been glad to be at the side
of Jefferson Davis's bier no one
doubts, and it is only fair to say that
his sacrifice of personal feeling to re-
main at his post of duty in Washing
ton is to his credit.
The suicide of Francis B. Gowen,
formerly president of the Pennsylva-
MA and Reading railway, and one of
the most prominent lawyers in the
United States, created more excite
ment in official circles than any sui
eide in Washington in five years. Mr..
Gowen had been in the city for week
or so prior to last Saturday, arguing
important cases before the Interstate
Commerce Commission. He retired
Friday night to his room at Worm
ley's in his usual cheerful spirits.
Late the next day, his room door was
forced open and his body found, with
a ball through his brain and the re-
volver still grasped in his hand.
The cause of the suicide is unknown.
The deceased had no financial troub-
les and no domestic complications, he
was in sound health and not over
worked. His friends were legion.
He had attained eminence in his pro-
fession. In his beautiful home near
Philadelphia, resided his charming
wife and daughter. He had every
thing that heart could wish for. Can
it be that Francis B. Gowen, in a
second of insanity, felt the inadequa-
cy of life, the fruitlessness of human
triumphs, and crossed the Styx to
satisfy his weariness?

New England Pensioners.

A correspondent asks for details
relating to the payment Of pensions
by the United States. Were we to
comply with his request for details
ten columns would not be sufficient
to give the information. The follow
ing statement regarding New Eng
land is interesting, and somewhat
instructive. The first column gives
the number of soldiers furnished by
the different States upon a three
years basis, the second column the
number of pensioners in these states
from the latest report, and the third
column the percentage of deaths
sustained by the soldiers of the New
ENGLAND States.

tablishment of a great national uni
versity in Washington is worthy of
the man. 1t would be a noble me-
mortal of a significant event in the
worlds history. A university on a
broad, national scale would be of
immense advantage to scholarship.
1t should be in Washington and its
department of history, political sci
enoe and economy should be the best
in the world as it could easily be
with the nation behind it and the
resources of the capital around it.
The plan will not be received with as
mbch favor as might otherwise be
the case because it is supposed to be
a substitute for the Worlds Fair and
all the great cities of the land are
determined to have that and to have
it held within their limits. But there
is no reason why the university
should not be established and the
fair held without impoverishing the
nation. Then would the four hun
dredth anniversary of the landing of
Columbus be celebrated by offering
to industry and scholarship alike.

The MONITOR has long been of the
opinion that the w. G.. T. Union is
making a mistake in trying to go
into politics-in allying itself with
the third party by official action,
National, state or local. 1t believes
that the organization, having for its
object a moral reform, can do most
good by standing, as the churches
stand, aloof from politics. While
some of our friends in the county are
trying to claim otherwise, the fact
nevertheless exists that many organ
izations are breaking allegiance with
the National. The following is to
the point:
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union of Putnam, Conn. have
withdrawn from the state and Ma
tional organizations, because of their
partisan character. In their state
ment explaining their course, the
officers of the Putnam Union point
out some of the evil consequences of
the alliances of the Union with the
third party:
"Pennsylvania stands to-day
house divided against itself after
fifteen years of united, consecrated
temperance begun with the crusade.
Ohio withdrew from the National
body four years ago, and has grown
in influence and membership, and is
doing grand work in all it's depart
ments. There are over fifty unions
auxiliary to it. Minneapolis has re-
fused to continue auxiliary to the
State Union. Iowa is added to the
number, which is constantly increas-
ing. Many Unions are reported in
the State minutes as dropped out
or languishing.'

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, Dec. 10.

Washington, Dec. Is.
If | must tell you the truth, the
Washington Inauguration Centennial
exercises at the Capitol last week
were extremely tedious, not to say
tame. The gathering of notables
was large and the music and Chief
Justice Fuller's oration very satisfac-
tory, but the crowd lacked enthusi-
asm. Admission to the House was
only by card and cards easily obtain
ed. Generally in Washington free
show is well attended, but there were
hundreds of vacant seats in the gall
leries during the ceremonies. Among
the ladies present were Mrs. and Miss
Blaine, but the White House ladies'
were at home owing to the death of
Mrs. Lord, Mrs Harrison's sister.
