The Pilgrim Com memoration.

Inc P1Igr1m COmmemOratlOn.
The great monumental granite figure
of Faith at Plymouth, Mass, begun
thirty years ago, was dedicated on the
LIST inst. 1t consists of an octagonal
pedestal forty-fve feet high. Upon
this stands Faith, thirty-six feet high,
with one foot resting on Plymouth
Rock, an open Bible in the left hand
and the right hand pointing toward
heaven. Upon four of the faces of the
pedestal are inscribed the names of the
founders of the colony and important
events in its history. On buttresses
projecting from the other faces are
heroic-sized figures typifying Morality,
Education, Freedom and Law. Below
these are tablets representing the EN-
barkation at Delft Haven, signing the
compact on the Mayflower, the landing
of the Pilgrims, etc. The figure of
Faith was a gift of the late Oliver
Ames, and cost S32 900; Massachu-
sets paid $4,000 toward the figure of
Morality; Education was the gift of
Roland Mather; Freedom, with its tab
let, costing 49, 900, was the result of an
appropriation by the United States
government; Law is a monument of
the liberality of the general legal fra
ternity all over the Union. The cost
of the monument in its completed state
is estimated at S200,00
The day was rainy, but this did not
prevent very large attendance. The
programme was carried out in a much
more satisfactory manner than one
could expect from the-to put it mildly
very eccentric assignment of parts. 1t
seemed in advance as if, the managers,
while protesting to honor the Pilgrims,
aimed to make prominent persons and
features as remote as possible from the
forefathers. First, the monument was
dedicated by the Free Masons; second =,
the Grafton was delivered by Hon.
w. C. p. Breckenridge of Kentucky, an
ex-confederate without Pilgrim blood
in his veins. Mr.. Breckenridge is,
however, Presbyterian elder and a
man of strong Christian convictions.
He Disseminated very clearly between
the Separatist Pilgrims and the Puri-
tans of Massachusetts Bay, and lauded
as the chief merit of the former their
loyalty to the truth as they saw the
truth. He ended by saying: Here
and now we rededicate ourselves to a
more fervent love for man as man; to
Drawer allegiance to truth for truths
sake, and this in the name of God.
Amen and amen" Third, the poem
was assigned to John Boyle O'Reilly
an Irish Catholic, and one of the ed
itors of the Boston Pilot. To do him
justice, Mr.. O'Reilly accorded to the
Pilgrims honest devotion to the light as
they saw it, though he claimed that the
advocates of other faiths were equally
true to their convictions:
Still must we keep in every stroke and
vote
The law of conscience that the Pilgrims
wrote
Our zeal their secret: Liberty can be;
The state is freedom if the town is free"
A large number of speeches followed
and we believe there was ball in the
evening. Everything was considered
success except the fireworks, which
|, were postponed for drier evening.

OUR entertaining st. Adams con-
temporary drops into chemistry, in a
recent issue, and in the simplest of
Anglo-Saxon gives the world the ben
fit of his analysis of the salt product.
"New discoveries of the saline efllo-
rescence," saith the sage, care con-
stantly being made" All, that re-
lieves our apprehensions. Recent ed
itorial utterances of the Messenger
chemist have required so many grains of
the aforesaid etilorescence that we
feared the market could not stand the
strain. These newly-discovered de.
posts will avert the threatened crisis.

without cooperation, not only on the
part of the listers, to whom this circular is
directly addressed, but of the selectmen
also, and the men of wisdom, experience
and influence, to whom Mr.. Valentine
equally appeals. The commissioner has
outlined plan of operations. 1t is a
very good plan. Major Valentine is
not an enthusiast. In business affairs
he is a cool, clear-headed, calculating
man. lie will succeed in this business
if any man can make it success. That
he shall succeed in the main purpose of
his bureau, through the plan proposed
or some other, is of vital importance to
the material welfare of this state.
Every good citizen who wishes him
success should show his interest by his
works. The plan proposed may not be
the only or the best plan. That Com
missioner Valentine has adopted this
particular plan is assurance enough that
what he proposes seems to be the best
thing to do now.
Men who have the confidence of the
people of Vermont, whom they i'm
plicitly trust and who have conspicu-
ously succeeded in business enter
prses, confirm all that Commissioner
Valentine says of the Swedes, and are
in full sympathy with his proposition
to plant colony of them in Vermont.
A plan like this was preached in the
Rural VermOnter, some two years ago,
and was warmly endorsed by number
of the leading men of the state, among
them Redfeld Proctor. In point of
fact, the proposition to create an in
dustrial commission grew out of the
discussion in the Vermonter. We had
at that time gratifying evidence that
the people at large were keenly alive
to the importance and desirability of a
scheme of this kind as one means of
regenerating Vermont. Now that the
first step has been taken and the propO-
sition has assumed tangible shape,
we hope the opportunity presented
will be grasped, and in the liberal and
patriotic spirit for which Mr.. Valen-
tine pleads.
We happen to know that the Swede
from Nebraska to whom Commissioner
Valentine refers is J. G. Nordgren, a
prosperous farmer of Nebraska, who
has also been instrumental in the col
onization of Swedes in that state. He
is man well known and of high re-
pute. The plan the commissioner out
lines has been submitted to the United
States minister to Sweden, who has
done a great work for Swedish immi-
grafton and has earned and received
the full confidence of the Swedes al
home. The minister's cooperation
with Mr.. Valentine and Mr.. Nordgren
in any plan that may be finally decided
upon would be assured. So good an
opportunity is not often presented
We commend Mr.. Valentines plan tc
the careful consideration of the people
in all parts of the state. They should
read his circular attentively and pre-
pare to act upon his suggestions il
some well-considered and systematic
way.

THE French are noted as mercurial
and changeable people, and too often
their changes have been for the worse.
Just now, however, they have shown
their good sense by repudiating the
mischief-maker, if not conspirator,
Boulanger, at the polls. The majority
against him, and for the government,
was overwhelming. There seems to be
hope even for France.

IDLE GIRLS.

1t is a painful spectacle in tami-
lies, where the mother is the dredge.
to see the daughters, elegantly
dressed, reclining at their ease,
with their drawing, their muse,
their fancy work, and their read
ing, beguiling themselves of the
lapse OF hours, days aud weeks, aud
never dreaming OF their RESPONSE
bilities; but, as a necessary conse-
quence OF neglect OF duty. growing
weary of t:.eir useless lives, lay
hold of every newly Invented
stimulant to rouse their dropping
energies, and blaming their fate,
when they dare not blame their
God, fot having placed them where
they are. These individuals will
often tell you, with an air of affect
ed compassion {for who can believe
it really. that poor, dear mamma is
working herself to death yet no
sooner do you propose that they
should assist her than they declare
she is quite in her element ; IN short
that she would never be happy il
she had only halt SO much to do
