any of the comrades confined there recollect
asking the privilege of celebrating the day and
being dispersed by the rebels Also if they re-

Charles ID. Hooper, Co. H, 68th Ohio, and Co.
@, 18th Mich, address not given,j in answer
to the recent inquiry if there were any North
ern prisons like AndersOnville, says he never
saw that place, but was one of the guards at
Camp Chase, and knows that the prisoners
had beef, soft bread and sometimes better fare
than their guards, with good barracks and
plenty of blankets. When a man died he was
put into plain coffin and given decent
burial. The prisoners had to do police duty
and keep their quarters and parade grounds
clean. There were good wells, with pumps
and the men could get water when they pleased
without being shot at.

VIM. B. Johnson, Co. B, Sd n. G. Cav, Wash

North Carolina and made Confederate soldier.
He fought in many battles under StonewaIl
jackson, Hill and Anderson. After all the
hardships on picket, in battle and on the
march, be was glad at last that the war was
over. Since that time he has learned, from
what they were taught TO regard them by their
leaders and from his own experience, that the
bluecoats were and are as a class true men and
quick to forgive and he feels sorry now that
he should have been on the wrong side so many
years.

sent predict q total failure on present plans.
The success of Eads at the mouth Of the Miss
issippi was due to entirely dissimilar condi-
tions.
The people of Texas and Of the trans -Missis-
sippi regions do not wish to wait six years for
the expenditure of IS, 600. 900 to discover what
should be known in advance, that the effort to
secure a thirty-fOot channel by the means pro-
posed had been a failure, and that millions
more expended in dredging could give no assur-
ance of success
The millions of people interested want deep
water harbor on the gulf coast. They want It
now, in the shortest possible time and at least
cost. They do not wish to wait six or ten years
for the results of doubtful experiment. These
wants can be promptly satisfied by the outer
harbor only.
At nine points on the gulf coasts DIS, 572 have
been expended on plans Of government engi-
neers without useful results, and the e1pendi-
ture of $40, OF ,073. estimated required for

asked, what is the smallest number OF
dresses that a really swell New York
woman can get along with. Well, she
must have at least one dishabille, two
costumes for calls, two for dinners, two
ball dresses, one travelling dress, and
one knockabout for shopping. That
makes nine. f'Nothing so fearfulIY ex-
travagant in that remarked my in
formant. ''Say they cost $1,000. My

A dog collar-just imagine! Well, natu-
rally, it gave rise to great deal of talk.
The first questions were: .''Is the BRIDE
fond of dogs? Has she a pug2 Does
she dote on a graceful hound, or are her
affections set upon horrid bulldog 2
If any of these questions were answered
in the Affirmative, then the present of
the collar had nothing extraordinary
about it. In fact, it is simply a delicate
little attention-very thoughtful and
very witty. The bride has no dog and
hates dogs. The collar stands for dog
and dog stands for fidelity.

die and set little in front. By vio-
lent contrast capotes are very small, and
are trimmed with flowers, lace and mar
row ribbon Ornsnaments with tufts of
feathers rising out of il. Strings come
from behind. Some Of the capotes are
SO small that the front view gives to
them look OF being mere aigrettes for

Here is a skilled maiden's advice:
"Tall women are mistaken in supposing
that decided styles of millinery make
their stature more observable, l don't
see why so many girls are afraid of their
height, and come to me, or 90 to their
dressmakers, with piteous entreaties to
do something to make them look shorter.
1t is ridiculous. A tall. thin figure, if
1t is only straight, always has possibili-
ties for the milliner and dressmsker;
whereas short, dumpy woman Is often
beyond the reach of art. You might as
well ask US to add an inch to her stature
as to make her look graceful. - Let the
tall, thin girls take this advice to heart,
and be content. But let them also bear
in mind the condition which this expert
attaches to their success-a condition
precedent, viz: TO have an erect car
rage. A stOop in the shoulders is fatal

1t will be readily seen from the plan of con-
struCtion outlined in the bill that when con-
tent necessary to meet the growing demands of

commentator of the style is that it is
becoming to nearly every face and form.
It is the commonest thing in the world
to see the harmony of a fine toilet ruined
by hat which either by its shape or
color or materials mars the artistic
ensemble of dress, jacket, gloves and
other components. Some tall and stout
women get the same idea which tall
man often flatters himself is the correct
thing, namely, to wear as small hat as
possible in the hopes TO dwarf his size.
The very opposite effect is produced.
The small hat accentuates the great
size OF its weaTer. In both
of my portraitures the ladies
are tall, straight and shapely, and it
may easily be seen that hardly anything
III millinery could look badly on them.
But the wide, picturesque brims do en-
nance the wearers' good looks, and they
will improve any sort of a head on which
they may be placed. The new round
hats have their wide brims either straight
or undulatIng IN fantastic styles, with
many tufts of feathers. The important
thing is to have the knots full, and to

Women's Leadership in Chur-
ches.

Enough returns have been received
from the Methodist churches in the
United States, according to the Phil
adelphia Methodist, to indicate de-
cisiye majority for an affirmative an
swef to the question, ''Shall women
be admitted into the General Con-
ference as lay delegates?" The vo-
ting was done in October and No
vember, and we presume that hereaf-
ter when women are chosen as lay
delegates the General Conference
will have no option but to seat them.
Indeed, there seems to be steady
progress among Protestant denomi-
nations generally toward that recog-
milton of woman's powers of useful
ness in ecclesiastical work, by which
the Catholics accomplish so much of
the vast total of results accredited
to them. The more general en-
couragement and recognition of wom-
en- in the organization of church
work of almost every kind can hardly
fail to result in increased practical
efficiency. Feminine intuition and
tact, and womanly influence over
the toughest classes, those who most
need the refining power of Christian
ity, can work moral miracles.

more papers at the prices named, If or
dered at the same time. For the pur-
pose of ascertaining the price call the
MONITOR price so and deduct the sum
from the price quoted in second column.
The conditions on which dubbed papers
are furnished are that MONITOR arrear-
ages are all paid and advance payment
is made. We send in the name of club
bers about the 28th of each month. We
will send our agent to the post-offices IN
the county during the month of Decem-
Der. and will then arrange for periodicals,
etc. The MONITOR will be sent from
this time to Jan. l, 1892 for regular price,

Death of Gen. Jed. H. Baxter.

The death of Gen. Baxter from ap-
oplexy, which occurred in Washing
ton recently, casts a gloom over Yer
mont. He was a son of the late Hon.
Portus Baxter so long a member of
congress from this state. He was
connected with the army of the rebel
lion and has been resident Of Wash
ingtOn where he died. His connec-
tion with the army had been contin-
nous since 1861, and his services in
connection with the collection and
classification of statistics of anatomy
and pathology furnished by the war
were very valuable. The volumes
containing the results of this
work have been translated into sever
al foreign languages General Bax-
ter was also one of the founders of
the anatomical and pathological mu-
scum at Washington. He was ap-
pointed surgeOn-general last August.
AT the recent reunion of Vermont Of
ficers at Montpelier, General Baxter
made the most interesting speech of
the evening, complimenting the ad-
ministrstion of Secretary Proctor in
the most unqualified words of praise.
His remains were inferred in the Ar
lington cemetery in lot selected by
General Bs xter himself last summer
and not far from the grave of Gener.
al Sheridan.

ed some means will be devised to
make the examination a simple affair
and the maker will soon learn what
he is required to produce. The boun-
ty law does not take effect until Apr.
l; hence sugar made before that
date, this year, will not receive the
bounty 1t is presumed that most
farmers who boil sap previous to that
date-if such a thing should become
necessary-will pot find it convenient
to sugar off until after All Fools
Day.
We hope that our farmers will make
such preparations as to enable them
to make the best quality of sugar
something that will not only be sub
ject to bounty, but will be that sweet
luxury which will find ready sale ev-
erywhere. There is little hope in our
maple trees.

bounty of two cents per pound gives
to the sugar makers of Glover nearly
three thousand dollars in addition to
the price now received for their sugar
if it comes up to the two cent pound
bounty. This sugar is made at sea-
son of the year when little else could
be done to earn that amount of mon
ey. We hope this will give an impe-
tus to the sugar industry, and that
farmers will preserve their sugar or
chards instead of cutting them down
and selling the timber. Sugar. max
ing should be one of the leading in
dustries of Vermont. 0. V. p.

The School Law.

| The laws of the last session of the
legislature having been published and
issued, it is possible to learn what
the work of the session consisted in.
We had fears before the legislature
met that it would be more productive
of harm than of good. The record
is now before US, and while some
things, probably, were accomplished
for the benefit of the state, other
things, among which was the destruc-
ton of the school law of 1888, and
the enactment of the present, in
complete, contradictory and mysteri-
GUS puzzle, known as the school law
of 1890, will prove a bane to the
state. The new law throws the whole
school matter into confusion. 1t
abolishes the school Board, kicks out
Supervisors, changes dates and meth
ods and does minor acts of violence
to the matter of schools.
The old laws relating to town su-
perintendents are reenacted that is,
they are the same as previous to 1888,
except as to examining teachers. In
order to provide for the issuing of Ii
censes to teach, person called Eek
aminer''is is TO be appointed by the Gov
ernor, whose duties it shall be to
hold a series of teachers examina-
tions for issuing certificates. The
school year is brought back to the
old time, and the annual meeting of
districts is held on the last Tuesday
of March. The new law is muddle
in some of its references to sections
and amendments of the law of 1888,
also in regard to the time of the di-
vision of public moneys. State Supt.
Palmer issues a circular in which he
says that it his opinion that the pub
lie moneys should be divided between
the third and sixth days of April.
Among the most difficult things to
contend with in the new law is the
fact that the school year is made to
end Mar. 31-to begin April l. The
old law provides in sections not
repealed, that no district shall be en-
titled to the public money which has
not supported t,0enty.tour weeks of
school during the school year. Hence
this year, "the school year," began
July l, by the old law, and closes
Mar. 81, by the new law, and is of
only nine months duration.
In order, therefore, for any district
to receive its public money next Apr.
it will be necessary that the twenty
four weeks be held. Districts that
have held short terms will be required
to fill up the rest of the year III order
to get in the twenty-four weeks. The
same condition exists in regard to
receiving the five per cent state tax,
as provided by the law of 1890.
Graded schools also fall into the
same necessity of putting in this
twenty-four weeks. A peculiar thing
which the Legislature did was to un
dertake to annul the contract made
with Supervisors by which their year
commencing July /, is abruptly ter
minated Mar. 81. They must either
lose three months salary on a state
contract for year, or fight for it,
We have not space in this article to
point out more of the errors and in
consistencies of the new law. The
most important problem for the pub
lie now to solve is the question of
getting in the twenty-four full weeks
previous to Apr. /, 1891.

Canada's decrease in aggregate
valuation of farm lands, buildings, i'm
plements and live stock, in the past
year, is quite startling. 1t amounts
to nearly eleven and a quarter mil
lions of dollars, every item except
buildings showing a decrease. The
value of farm land has lessened by
more than S9,OOO,OOO. Many far
mers speak despondentIy of the sit
uation. Crops last season were very
generally below the standard. Even
the apple crop has not been an abun-
dant one. The trees blossomed with
great promise in the spring, but a
blight. apparently caused by the cold,
wet weather, diminished the bearing
of orchards which looked we'll.

the fact that it recognized good SER
vice by reelecting Col. Albert Clarke
as the secretary of the club for an
other year. The club has prospered

of Vermont succeeded to its execu-
tive office. He is thoroughly in SYM

on.
