Stanley atCairo.

Henry NJ. Stanley arrived at Cairo
last week. We had previously been
made aware that he had reached
Suez, having come from Zanzibar by
way of the Red Sea- In Cairo Stan
ley is on familiar ground, and he is
well known to the Khedive and 10
the officials generally. At the sta
ton the great traveller was received
by Sir Evelyn Barring, the British
Consul General; by Sir Francis
Grenfell, the British general in COM
mand, and by Acting United States
Consul-G eneral Grant and others.
Stanley lost no time in paying his
respects to the Khedive, spending
with him half an hour and receiving
from his highness the decoration of
the Grand Gordon of the Medjidieh
one of the highest honors which it
is in the power of the Khedive to
confer. Afterward, at the famous
Shepheard's Hotel, in the Esbekieh,
he was the centre of admiring and
enthusiastic groups.
1t is gratifying to know that after
his hardships and fatigues, Stanley
is the picture of health, back again
within the limits of civilization,
joyous and well. Naturally enough
for so restless a brain, the traveller
and explorer is already looking to
the future, and scheming, if not for
himself, at least for others. Emin
Pasha, he thinks, should be retained
in the service of the Egyptian gov
ernment and stationed either at Sua-
kim or Wady Halfa. Backed by
military authority, he would be able
with his great influence to pave the
way for better understanding be-
tween the government and the native
tribes, and might be instrumental in
bringing back the Soudanese into a
condition of loyal subsection.
Having finished his travels for the
present, Stanley enters upon Lew
career scarcely less trying. For
months to come he will be the object
of attention and fattery in the great
capitals of Europe. But he is al
ready somewhat used to such atten-
tions and there is but small likeli-
hood that he will be found wanting
in the premises. Festivals and hon
ors will not spoil him.

Walker Blaine was born in Angus
tq, Me-. May 8, 1856, and was the
Secretary's eldest son. In his man
ner he had a great deal of the father
-affable, polite, patient, q good talk
er and still better listener. He had
a large circle of devoted friends, at
tracted to him by all the qualities
which go toward making young man
popular and respected. Had he lived
he would have made his mark, and
fulfilled in high degree the sanguine
expectations entertained by those
who knew him best.
He left an enviable record of his
individuality, energy and industry In
every official position in which he was
placed. He had his fathers conf
dence in a marked degree, more so,
perhaps, than any other of the Seere-
tary's children. In the campaign of
1884 he was constantly at his fathers
side, and more recently he was in

Commissioner A. B. Valentine who

there are really very few places ever

Walker Blaine Dead.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Mr. Walk
er Blaine, Examiner of Claims in the
Department of State, and eldest son
of the Hon. James G. Blaine, died
this evening at the home of the Sec
retary of State. He had been i'll for
several days, having had an attack of
the prevailing epidemic, which left
him with an enfeebled system to
fight against catarrhal bronchitis,
which had set in. Both his lungs
were speedily affected, and yesterday
the case took on an alarming turn.
The physicians who were treating
him were satisfied last night that the
patient had less than an even chance
of recovery. He had been delirious
most of the day, and his breathing
was extremely labored. This morn
ing there was a change for the worse.
Mr.. Blaine's fever continued bigh,
and his temperature ran up to 1O2
degrees. Great anxiety was felt by
his family.
Early this evening, however, the
patients condition seemed slightly
improved, and about s o'clock the
President and Mrs. Harrison who had
come over from the White House to
ask the latest news, were assured
that Mr.. Blaine was resting rather
more easily, and would probably have
comparatively good night. They
left the house shortly after this i; but
they had hardly been gone ten min
utes when, at s 30 p. M, the end
came. The physicians apparently
had little warning; and the death was
| a severe shock to all the household.
The Misses Blaine were with theil
brother when he died.
DR.. Magruder traces Mr.. Blaine's
fatal illness back to an attack of the
grippe. He said tonight:
"Mr. Blaine was attacked bv Il
grippe on Friday evening last. The
malady was ushered in by a chill
followed by light fever, and conges
ton of both lungs. This condition
continued through Saturday and Sun
day, but was somewhat ameliorated
On Monday improvement in the righ
lung was noted, though anaemic con
gestion continued in the left lung
On Tuesday all the symptoms becam
aggravated. Well-developed pneu

are down in the valley beside the
river, or on the lee side of the windy
highlands where at some earlier day
somebody eked out living.
In many localities the old farm,
carved out of the wilderness sixty to
eighty years ago, is q more produc-
tive farm than ever before. There
are better buildings on it, better
roads to it, and the barn and the
house are better filled with good
stock, good furniture, good books
than ever before. In many localities
this way large areas of woodland
have been cleared up and put to
farms in the last twenty years. If
the times would change a little the
country over, so that farming would
be profitable elsewhere, there would
be no cry of distress from the people
in this section. Men to-day who
are willing to labor and who are fru-
gal are more than making their ends
meet in farming. The exceptions
are where heavy debts weigh down
the farmer, or other misfortunes en-
barass him.
Commissioner Valentine is making
q speciality of Swedes-that thrifty
people from the cold and desolate
Scandinavian regions, supposed to
be several times worse than Vermont
in the worst of weather. Doubtless
they make thrifty settlers and could
eke out a living on the most aban
doned June grass hills in the state,
but we deem them no better, all
things considered, than other Euro
peans who come among us. In this
section several towns have a large
population of Scotch. They came
here from twenty to fifty years ago,
and wherever a good live Scotchman
stuck his stakes there is to-day q
good farm, good buildings and a
man we'll to do. He has raised up a
family of boys and girls that to-day
are occupying hill farms and valley
farms not far away from the old
homestead, and teaching another
family the principles of industry and
economy. There are no citizens
among US who are more thrifty,
more honorable and more esteemed
people in the Highlands or the Low
lands of Old Scotia who can be
persuaded or helped to come to Yer
mont, Commissioner Valentine will
do we'll to invite and assist them at
once. They will find a welcome.
They come with our language, our
religion, our habits, and their own
virtues.
In this section, also, there are sew
eral localities which have been set
tied up with a respectable and thrift
ty class of Irish farmers. They are
keeping well alongside the average
native Vermonter in making farming
a tolerable success. There are also
a few sections where the Canadian
French have cleared up farms and
are doing we'll in that business.
While we say nothing against the
Swedes, we believe there are people
from other countries and sections
that will find not only a welcome
in Vermont, but will much better their
condition by coming here to find
new homes.

The scholars of our public schools will
be interested in an offer made by The
Youths Companion in its issue of January
o. Its purpose is to stimulate them i'm
commendable competition and at the same
time increase their love for their country.
The publishers of The Companion Offer to
present a large bunting flag, 9Xl5 feet,
with forty-two stars, to that public school
in each of the forty-two States, which
shall send to them the best essay on "The
Patriotic Influence of the American Flag
When Raised over our Public Schools, p
These essays will be received by the pub
fishers of The Companion until April /,
1890. The award of the flag will be made
as near June as possible, IN order that
the successful school may float the "Stars
and Stripes" over it's building on the
Fourth of July, next
This movement to interest the young
people of the present generation i'm secur-
inc a flag for the school house, is one
that should be heartily commended and
encouraged. Why cannot one of our own
schools secure The Companion Flag for
this State!

Congress made a phenomenally
prompt beginning, but the prevailing
epidemic has caused much delay and
many members are still unable to at
tend to committee work, so that less
progress has been made than was
reasonably expected a month ago.
However. as the democratic congress
of the past four years made practi-
cally no Roadway whatever, it is not
time yet to become impatient.

The Vermont Sheep-breeders' As
sociation, at its meeting at Middle
bury, last week, told the Vermont
congressman and the ways and
means committee that it most en-
phatically protested against the
proposition of some of the woolen
manufacturers TO place wool on the
free list. The Vermont sheep-raisers
believe they should be protected in
their business they believe the tariff
does protect them, and they insist
that it shall be continued. The pro-
nunciamento Of the association is as
good evidence as any that the ways
and means committee has heard.
Vermont's commissioner of agri-
cultural and manufacturing interests
is making vigorous effort to secure
purchasers for the unoccupied farms
in that state. One of the measures
taken to attract attention to the mat
ter is the publication of a colOred
map, showing the sixty towns in
which there are such farms, which
can be bought for from So to SO an
acre. The prices named include
buildings of varying degrees of ex-
cellence. At such figures, it would
seem few people who want farms will
have to 60 without them. As the
descriptive matter accompanying the
the map is printed in Swedish as
we'll as English, it is evidently the
intention of Vermont to capture some
of the most thrifty and industrious
immigrants that come to our shores.
