Electric Lights In China.

If report is to be relied on the Chinese
have still long way to go before they
viii be in a position to avail themselves
Of the benefits Of modern scientific prog
ress 1t is stated that the imperial pal
ace, by order Of the young emperor, was
fitted throughout with electric lights
The imperial cabinet was called to-
gether to witness the formal opening of
the new system Of illumination. In
stead, however, of their expressing ad-
miration of the brilliant light they stood
aghast. This wonderful sheen, which
came and went at the touch of button,
could only be the offspring of supernat-
ural powers, and was probably machi-
nation of evil spirits. Thus in solemn
conclave the mandarins decided, and in
very few days the electrical plant was
removed. Chicago Times.

Where a king in days long vanished stayed thy
feetS
Hast thou eaten of pomegranates that thy mouth
Bears the stain of that rare friitage from the
south?
Is it that which through thy pulses soft has
stirred,
Ger thy cheeks it's red wine flooding at q wordS
Some day as we stand a-dreaming there shall ring
Clang from silver bitted horses of the king,
We shall turn to give thee question, wonder eyed,
But to find that thou hast vanished from our
side
Ger the belted bees sweet humming there shall
fall
Far and near throughout the morning tender
call,
AS we wander heart a-hungered, for some trace
In the meadows and the pastures of thy face.
Mourning Ceres long went calling, worn and
faint,
TIL at last the gods gave answer TO her plant;
But for us no sleepless Ida watch doth keep,
All the old gray gods of Hellas lie asleep.
Back the silver bitted horses meier shall bring
She who ate of red pomegranates with the king.

The New York Presbytery has been
in session for a considerabl time IN
New York city, mainly engaged in a
discussion of the revision of the Comics
sion of Faith. The bone of contention
says the Budget, is the doctrine of cleo
ton practically, whether from the
birth of time it was or was not predes'
tined which souls ushered into existence
in the entire future should be elected to
be saved and which TO be consigned to
eternal perdition. Under the doctrine
o election no one could be saved if pre-
destined to eternal woe A lsuch would
be damned if they did. and be damned if
they didn't. The indications are that
the doctrine of election will be elimi.
mated from the Confession of Faith, and
that a revision of the creed will take
place. The deciding vote on revision
will take place February Sd. The Gen
eral Assembly will finally determine the
veXed question in May next.

Washington specials say thqt the New

worlds fair movement are much dis
couraged. They admit that everything
now seems to depend upon the action OF
the New York Legislature. Some OF
the lawyers think that even if the Leg
lature should pass and Governor Hill
should approve the bill it would still be
in the power of any dissatisfied taxpayer
in New York city to enjoin the collec-
ton of the tax that may be author
lied under that lay, and to compel a de-
lay until the courts pass upon it consti-
tutiolality. The Representatives Of
other cities are making a great deal Of
this point and have apparently made an
impression with it, So that, even il
the bill should become law, New York
would be com elled to make some
explanation of these objections. 1t is
evident. moreover, that politics have
entered into the consideration of this
subject. 1t was predicted from the frs
that they would.

And unless some wonderful change
comes over Southern feeling, it is hope
less to expect that the experiment OF
Justice will be tried. For, after all, the
real prejudice of the Southern whites in
civil and municipal affairs is still not so
much against the color of the freed
mems skin as against their uncomprom-
ising Republicanism. And justice to
the freedmen necessarily involves, so

CHANCES AT HOME.

Last week in our news columns APP
peared an item to the intent that six
Young farmers from Windsor county
had gone to Montana. The Troy Press
remarked that these Vermonter's
thought there were greater prospects in
Montana for farming than in Vermont.
Within six miles of trunk line of rail
way in the county where these young
men lived is farm which rents for $50
a year and taxes, about Sl2 to Sl5more
Amaple sugar orchard of 1000 trees
and equipment goes with the farm
which is owned by Woodstock man
who bought it on a speculation. In an
other town in the same county is farm
lying directly upon trunk line railway
which was sold within year for $500,
and last year in apples and fruit alone
there were sold off the place enough to
pay for it, and several hundred dollars
to spare. The late owner told us the
other day that he certainly expected the
farm would sell for $4,000. One barn
on the premises cost $500. That he
was thunderstruck after buying out the
other heirs Cat the decease of the par
ents) O find $500 all he could get of
fered and the 81, 800 was a "god-send'
because of creamery established in the
town. With such chances as these in
Windsor county will the six young men
referred 10 better themselves in Mon
tana? We think not. They probably
have heard of the stories Of fabulous
wealth made in the West. Perhaps
they have heard of the two young Yer
monters who took up each a farm in
what was then (eight years ago. away
out to the left of the city of Denver.
That he location of capitol buildings at
once made city building lots at fabulous
rats of the entire area OF these two
farms. Eastern boys always hear OF
these things, but they probably never
have heard of the score or more who
bought land in en- opposite direc ion
and vet within sight OF Denver, where
no capitol was located, and which is
used for market gardens-profitable to
be sure. but no better than farming in
Vermont, where if a man knows how to
sell his produce and takes advantage OF
refrigerator trains, he can do much bet
ter than on the lands we speak of. We
have been there. have seen these things
with our own eyes, and eretore write
emphatically. Take an example in a
rural community. Why is The Magic
City" in Nebraska any better location
than Hastings's? Both are away out on
the plains. One has the boom on and
the other has not-the valuation largely
artificial and likewise the chance to
make on the rise of real estate. Why
multiply instances in the West of fail
ures which do not get into print:
Young men who will leave the chances
known to exist of buying farms in
Windsor county for one-half what the
buildings thereon cost to go to the
plains of the West are not convinceablt
by argument. They will only learn by
experience, and possibly return in a few
years only to buy. if they ever do, the
home farms they left, at figures doubled
from what they were in 1889. Our ad
vice to young people is to try first in The
State which is sending its money tt
Montana. If Vermont farmers hac
not first accumulated the cash they
would moi have it in hand to lend.
