"Gov. Page signed every bill that
reached him. st. Johnsbury Repub
lican.
Our usually correct neighbor is
strangely in error in this statement.
Bill after bill passed both houses dur
ing the session and went to the Gov
ernor for his signature. But instead
of vetoing them, his uniform practice
was to send to the chairman of the
committee of the senate or house by
which the bill was considered, and to
submit to him his objections thereto.
With a single exception, the Govern
or's views were accepted by the COM
mittee, the bill recalled and amended,
and as amended approved.
The exception referred to was that
of the bill giving the Brattleboro
school the right to employ teachers
who had not passed the examination
required by law. This seemed to the
Governor to be special legislation,
and he was strongly aveTse to giving
exemptions to the Brattleboro graded
school which were not extended to the
other graded schools in the State
but so strong a showing was made
bv the friends of the BrattlebOrO
school as to the necessity for this
legislation that the Governor, al
though reluctant to do so, finally APP

both houses and went to the Govern
or for his signature, which he declined
to give, and the bill did not become a
law. The same was true of bill
opening the doors still wider for the
granting of divorces. But as these
two last named bills went to the Gov
ernor after midnight of the last even
ing of the session, and as they were
bills to which he was so thoroughly
opposed that nomodifcation thereof
would have made them acceptable,
they were simply allowed to sleep the
sleep of death.
A careful examination of the laws
passed at the last session will, we be-
ieve, disclose one fact to the credit OF
the much-abused assembly which has
just terminated it's labors, viz: Their
bump of destructiveness was largely
developed. What they did not fully
understand and fully approve, they
mercilessly slaughtered. There were
many good bills which failed of pass
age because of the fact that their con-
sideration was delayed until the last
days of the session, during which
time there seemed to be a tendency
on the part of each branch of the
assembly to criticise or kill Everything
originating with the other.

The Old Soldiers. z

An estimate of the number of sol
diers of the late rebellion surviving
July l, 1890, shows a grand army of
4, 246,0S9. The number enlisted dur
ing the war, excluding re-enlistments,
was 2,213,365. OF these, it is esti-
mated, 364,116 died of wounds or
disease during the war and 25,2S4
died after discharge prior to July /,
1865. Deducting, also, 121,S96 de-
serters left 1,7O2,0 survivors on
July /, 1865. Some of these by rea-
son of wounds or disease contracted
in the servicewere subject to a greater
death-rate than ordinary life
tables" Making allowance for this
calculation shows that on July 1,
1890, there were probably l ,246, 0S9
survivors, of whom more than 1O0,-
900 were sixty-twO years of age or
over. Nearly one-third of the surviv-
ors appear to be on the pension-rolls,

Washington has more pensioners

Washington has more pensioners
than any other county. If all the
counties made as favorable showing
as Washington there would be in the
state 12,307 pensioners, who would
receive annually 81, $40, 1873, an in
crease over the amount now paid of
$64S,644. The reason for this differ
ence is accounted for by the soldiers
of Washington county employing at
torneys residing in the county to
prosecute their claims, while soldiers
in other counties have largely en-
ployed attorneys and agents residing
in Washington, d. c. The report
shows that there are twenty-three
surviving widows of revolutionary
soldiers on the pension roll, three of
whom reside in Vermont, and all in

OPENING COURT.

The late Martin Armstrong, of
Cambridge, was one of the first sher-
ifs of Lamoille county. He was not
an orator and could not "open
court in that sublime way that
characterizes the sheriffs of the pres
ent day. When things went wrong
with Uncle Martin, he could say "by
goddy" but not with any intention
OF profanity. On assembling of
court, Judge Stephen Royce, uncle
OF the present Homer E. Royce, after
being marched through the sand of
Hyde Park common, the sheriff walk
ing by his side with drawn sword.
took his seat and the sheriff his box,
when the order was given for the
sheriff to "open the court in due
form and thus it was done: "Hear
ye! Hearyel Hear YET all good men
answer to your names, save your fine
and, and by goddy court is open.p
Judge Royce afterwards said he had
witnessed the tearing open of one ses-
sion of his court; but then, of course.
everybody had justice dealt out to
them after that.

A Naval Compass.

A few days ago [ was standing by an
American gentleman, writes London
editor, when / expressed a wish to
know which point was the north. He
at once pulled out his watch, looked at
it and pointed north. | asked him
whether he had compass attached to
his watch Cali Watches" he replied,
care compasses." Then he explained
to me how this was. Point the hour
hand to the sun and the south is exact
ly half way between the hour and the
figure XII. on the watch. For instance,
suppose that it is o'clock. Point the
hand indicating to the sun, and Ii. on
the watch is exactly south. Suppose
that it is s o'clock, point the hour indi-
eating s to the sun, and the figure X.
on the clock is due south. My Ameri-
can friend was quite surprised that /
did not know this. Thinking very pos
sibly that l was ignorant of a thing that
everyone else knew, and happening to
meet Mr.. Stanley, [ asked the eminent
traveller whether he was aware of this
simple mode of discovering the points
of the compass. He said that he had
never heard of it.

COIN AMONG SAVAGES.
The Blacks of Africa Have Changed Front

The Blacks of Africa Have Changed Front
on the Bits of Shining Metal.
From the New York Sun.
Only there or four years ago the
natives at DIARIES Salaam, south OF
Zanzibar, refused to take coin in pay
ment for work they were doing on a
road that the whites were building.
They said these shining bits of metal
were useless to them, and they wanted
beads, cloth, and other articles which
had some value.
Last week steamer leaving Hamburg
had on board a large quantity of copper
and silver coin destined for these very
natives and their brethren along the
coast. They have seen much of the
whites, and have come to learn that
these little coins have wonderful po-
tencyin the purchase of the good things
of life. 1t is the intention of the Ger
man East African Company, who have
had these coins made, to spread the use
ofsmall change not only along the coast
but far into the interior.
It will be happy day indeed for the
traveller in inner Africa when he can
buy his goats, bananas and other
articles of food with silver from his
pocket instead of hiring hundreds OF
porters to carry the bulky articles that
that region. We see this sign . OF
progress not only in German East
Africa, but further north in the
territory of the British Imperial East
Africa Company. They are introducing
a good deal of coin into their land, and
the natives are taking very kindly to
the innovation. On the Congo, also,
the natives are getting accustomed to

Colonel John Hay in the Century.
During the first year OF the admins
tration the house was made lively by
the games and pranks of Mr.. Lincoln's
two younger children, William and
Thomas; Robert, the eldest, was away
at Harvard, only coming home for short
vacations. The two little boys, aged
and 10, with their Western independ-
ence and enterprise, kept the house
in an uproar. They drove their tutor
wild with their good-natured DISC
beGience; they organized minstrel
show in the attic; they made acquaint-
ance with the office-seekers and be-
came the hot champions of the dis
tressed.
William sickened and died in Febru
airy, 1862. His father was profoundly
moved by his death, though he gave no
outward sign of his trouble, but kept
about his work the same as ever. His
bereaved heart seemed afterwards to
pour out its fullness on his younger
child. "Tad" was merry, warm

He ran continually in and out of his

for he had an impeachment which
made his articulatons almost unin-

He would perch upon his fathers knee,

Not Local, But Constitutional,

Dr.. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston ply,
Sician in recent magazine article SAYS
ga radical error underlieS nearly all med
ical treatment of catarrh 1t is not a
disease of the mans nose; it is a disease oil
the man, showing itself in the noSe-a To-
cal exhibition of constitutional trouble .
Therefore, he argues, that the use of snuff
and other local applications is wrong, and
while they seem to give temporary relief
they really Go more harm than good
Other leading authorities agree with DR.
Lewis. Hence, the only proper method
cure for catarrh is by taking a constitu-
tional remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which, reaching every part of the body
through the blood, does eliminate all i'm
purities and makes the whole man
healthier, 1t removes the cause of the
trouble and restores the diseased mem
hrane to proper condition. That this is
the practical result is proven by thousands
of people who have been cured of catarrh
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.

of the marvellous cure of Miss B,

by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DIR. Pierce's

all bronchial, throat and lung afec-
