The Burlington Free Press, which
has been making canvass among
the representatives and senators cho-
sen for the Legislature which meets
this week, finds that a very large per
cent of the members of the House
and four-fifths of the senators favor
the retention of the present prohlb-
itory law. Most of them ask that 1t
he made more stringent. A large
share of the democrats chosen, favor
a local option and high license law.
There is no prospect that the present
law will be weakened this year.

Farming East And West.

A bright young farmer who went
from Vermont to Nebraska some
years ago made the remark as there
suit of his experience which is full of
meat. Said he, eff farmers in Yer
mont would live as those in Nebraska
do they would all get rich.
The difference in the farmers liv-
ing in the two sections is very great.
In Nebraska a wretched hut made of
sods may contain the family of a
fairly prosperous farmer, and good
house there is anything that will keep
half dozen people dry and warm.
There is no top buggy and no care
fully built shed to keep it in. There
are no knfckkpa acks in the house, and
rarely space to put them. Every
thing, out of doors and in the house
vehicles, dress, table and what not
is measured closely by necessity and
that alone. This comes simply from
the conditions found in a newly set
tied country. The things that con-
duce to pleasure and ease merely and
are not essential to existence cannot
be had at first by any possibility, and
it is long time before they are Civ
en- much attention. Bread and but
ter, shelter and warmth, must first be
had, it is no light work to assure
these, and it takes many slow years
to get beyond them.
Relatively speaking, the eastern
farmer lives in luxury and the west
ern one in poverty-the poverty which
has the essentials of life and no more.
1t is this fact which explains many
things. The farmer in Vermont
spends hundreds or the thousands of
dollars in his lifetime for things
which the Nebraska farmer does en-
tirely without. Some of these things
the Vermont man might perhaps go
without and suffer no sort of injury,
but he, as we'll as all other civilized
men, has fashion to consider. The
Young man mentioned above finally
returned to Vermont and is now a
prosperous farmer in "hill town"
and his remark about the matter is
that if he lived here as he did in Ne
braska ''people would think him a
blamed fool" Men like, and are in
a manner compelled to do in certain
respects as their neighbors do.
If the New England farmers envies
his western brother in this or that
material respect he should still re-
member his own advantages. He has
the things that an older civilization
brings, and in many ways gets more
from his life. He could not be in
duced to live in houses made of sods
or logs and, in considering his rela-
tive condition, should not fail to rate
at their full value his house of the
better kind and all that is within
and around it.-Rutld1ad Herald.

Resolutions passed by the Vermont
yearly meeting of Free Baptists convened

Resolutions passed by the Vermont
yearly meeting of Free Baptists convened
at Enosburg Falls, Sept. 11-14.
WHEREAS, Intemperance is a glaring
evil, and it's fruits are ruinous both to
soul and body.
ReSOlUed, That we re-assert the faith
held by the fathers of the denomination
when they declared for prohibition.
ResOlUed, That we heartily disapprove
of license. either high or low,in any form,
of the manufacture, sale or use of intoXi-
eating liquors as a beverage, as being only
a subterfuge of the ''devil" to prolong
the time of his power on earth, and to
strengthen his efficiency in destroying
men for time and eternity.
RESOLVED, That we believe the ministry
ought to be earnest, pointed, and clear in
setting forth the evils of intemperance,
and the benefits of leading a temperate
life in all things; that the churches ought
to be living epistles of temperance, truth,
and by their example and practice, give
weight to the temperance cause.
ResOlUed, That we view with alarm
the present conspiracy made by the
friends of the liquor traffic in this state to
substitute high license for the existing
prohibitory law.
ResOlUed, That we will exert what in
fluence we have with our representation
in the approaching session of the legiSla-
ture to give effectual check to this species
of infidelity

The Lewiston Journal figures it
out that 100, 900 summer boarders in
Maine this year have left behind
them about Sc, 100000 at the rate of
s4 per day. Vermont can not claim
such a large profit as this, but it is a
fact that a great deal of money has
been spent in this state by visitors.
1t is equally certain that future years
will bring more, and presidents of
the state have an eye to the main
chance they will encourage this ten
dency by making their towns as at
tractive as possible. While the fu-
ture of farming and manufacturing
is uncertain, the opportunity for a
profitable business of this nature is
as certain and constant as anything
in this world.

The silly talk of few Democrats
in Congress about sectionalism in Re
publican legislation gets a substan-
tial rebuke through the Presidents
action in affixing his signature to
what is known as the Galveston Deep
Water bill, under which S6,200,000
will be expended to improve that i'm
portant Texas port. And the Gal
weston bill is only an example of
what Republicans are doing for the
South. The Tariff bill, with its pro-
lection policy, will save the New
South from the old Free Trade Bour-
bon South-that is, save the Sonth
from itself. This is not sectional,
but an national administration.

THE MOUNTAINS SMOKE.
People Living in North Carolina Fright
ened by the Unusual Phenomena.

Reports received from a number OF reliable
citizens in the neighborhood OF Bee Tree Creek,
a tributary Of .he Sewanee river. twelve miles
east OF Asheville, NC, state that for the third
time since the Charleston earthquake smoke
has for some days been regularly emitted in
considerable volume from seven mountain
peaks Of the Blue Ridge chain. The peaks
have come to be designated THE Seven
Smoking Mountains" The occurrence has
excited the entire region in which the smoke
is visible, and many of the people are, alarmed.
j. w. Boone, highly respectable citizen OF
the Bee Tree Creek neighborhood. has given
an account Of his observations of the phe-
nomena. He says that for the past two weeks,
each morning about o'clock, vast volumes of
black smoke, rising to height of about 300
feet have issued from Watch Knob, Rocky
Knob and five other Blue Ridge mountain
peaks, which are visible from Bee Tree Creek.
Some Of the people of the neighborhood
visited the mountains and found that the
smoke, as it issued from the peaks, had a
strong sulphuric odor
Mr.. Boone says the peaks were first observed
to be smoking on October Of the year of the
Charleston earthquake. That year the smoking
lasted two weeks. 1t then ceased until last year,
when for three weeks, beginning in September,
the peaks were again in a state OF activity. This
year the phenomena have lasted two weeks and
have been witnessed by more than 200 people,
many Of whose names Mr.. Boone gives. An
effort is making to have Prof. c. ID. Smith. the
geologist OF Macon county, and Gen. L. l..
Clingman investigate the matter. as many of
the people have become 80 alarmed that they
say they will leave the neighborhood.

TWELVE SAILORS LOST.
The Hardships of an American Crew
Adrift In Russian Waters.

The steamer Karluk brings story to San
Francisco from northern Russian waters of the
suffering of eighteen American sailors Of tn
sealing schooner G. ii. White, twelve of whom
were lost The White was owned in San Fran
cisco. Early in July she crossed into Russian
waters for seals. On August /. when within
sight of the Copper Islands, six small boats
were launched and manned by eighteen men.
The boats scattered IN various directions. A
dense fog gathered and the boats were unable
TO reach the vessel. A survivor tells n pitiful
story of anxiety and suffering endured by him
self and his companions. Toward the latter
part of the third day land was discerned by two
OF the boats. 1t was Copper Island. Although
afraid OF being arrested pOachers six survi-
vors pullt straight for the landing. The Rus
sian officials listened to their story auul were
only rigorous enough to seize their arms, am
munitlon and boats. The late OF the twelve
men who occupied the other four boats il not
known. The schooner disappeared as mysteri-
ously as the men.

THE PELICAN CLUB A NUISANCE.
London's Famous Sportin. Organiza-
ton Complained Of by the Nci.hbors.

An injunction has been applied for to re-
strain the London Pelican Club which has
been the scene Of the Smith-Jackson and Dixon
Wallace fights, from giving entertainments of
character likely to cause annoyance to the
residents of five neighboring houses, who have
complained that night was made hideous BY
glove fights and smoking concerts, often last
ing till and O'Clock in the morning, SO that
people living near could get no sleep during
the season. Things are quieter now, bat it is
feared that tho nuisance will be as bad rs ever
as soon as the holidays are ended A big glove
fight causes crowds Of roughs to gather outside
the club house where, for hours, the street is
blocked by a shouting, yelling aud cursing
mob, and on smoking concert nights terrific
noise of roaring choreses and wild applause
can be heard for hundred yards away.
Wells, the proprietor of the club, made affi-
davit denying the allegation of nuisance, and
the Marquis OF Queensbury, Lord Caledon and
a number or police officials and others declared
that tho Pelican Club was quiet and respecta-
BILE establishment. After the statements of
both parties were given the hearing was ad-
journed by the judge before whom the iniunc-
ton proceedings were brought.
