Pilgrimage to Willoughby Lake
TFoR THE MONITOR

FOR THE MONITOR
On Monday, August 4, two pill
grims hastily took their departure
from Glover. After seeing some of
the grandest scenery in New England,
thev reached Mr.. Herman French's
camp at Willougby Lake where they
were welcomed by Mr.. and Mrs.
French and Mrs. Leonard. The pill
grims then drove over to the Will
loughby House and cordial greet
ing was given them by landlord Gill
man and his genial wife, who made
us feel at home at once. Everything
in and round this hotel is orderly and
quiet, clean and inviting. Here the
pilgrims had the pleasure of meeting
Mr.. Horace Bailey, one of the most
prominent men in the town of New
bury. Mr.. Bailey is bachelor, and
like all intelligent bachelors, keeps on
hand an inexhaustible fund of sto-
ries to please and instruct his friends
later in the day his friend, Mr.. Will
liam A. Mesure joined the party.
These two gentlemen made such a
favorable impression upon the pill
grims, especially on the one who has
gone into the deacon business, that
they are determined to visit the above
named gentlemen in their homes at
some future time.
On looking over the hotel register
we found that during the sum-
mer, visitors from every state came
here to spend few days in commun-
ion with nature. The next morning
after partaking of bountiful repast
we returned to the camp where we
were pleased to greet our old friend
Mr.. George McGaffey. Here we
found J. W. Murkland, Henry Gay,
George Katen, and their families. In
this splendid grove the care-worn
merchant finds rest. On the shores
of this beautiful lake, embosomed
among the grand old hills of North
ern Vermont free from the noise and
traffic of this busy world, the sick
find health, and the aged become
Young again; here is found the foun-
tain of perpetual youth; in these
woods man casts off his fears and is
child again. Friday, Mrs. A. d.
Chandler of Barton Landing, Mrs.
L. A. Doolittle, Rev. Annette j.
Shaw of z. Claire, Wis. came. These
intelligent ladies spent the day en-
loving the beautiful in nature. Later
the pilgrims had the pleasure of meet
inc Mrs. NJ. Smith of Boston, who
in company with her charming daugh-
ter, are spending a few weeks at the
hotel. The little steamer ''Ben Hur,
ably managed by Capt. Averlll, hove
in sight and we were tempted tc
spend a couple of hours on the lake
this charming sheet of water is about
six miles in length and about half 6
mile in width. 1t lies between two
mountain ranges, the highest point
of each one of which is at the south
ern part of the lake. These noun
tains rise to nearly 5000 fee
from the water from the boat the
view is snblimely picturesque, ant
the pilgrims were surprised by al
this beauty of nature which is seer
and felt in this favored spot. The
mountains, the stars, the moonligh
shadows in the still water, lead th'
thoughts to the all gracious Father
who caused all this to come into ex
istence for His glory and for man
good.

Vermont. After the meeting march
was taken to the depots to receive
the First Vermont brigade and large
numbers of other veterans, who were
escorted to the common where
stand had been erected in front OF
the state house. There were many
distinguished Vermonters on the
stand. The appearance of Gen. l..
A. Grant, the commander of the brig
ade, and the brigade colors, borne by
the orderly who carried them to bat
tle,wa greeted with deafening cheers.
Speeches by Col. Clarke and Mayor
Hart were followed by addresses from
a number of the Vermonters. Head
quarters for the Vermont veterans
were at Horticultural hall, 1900 mat
tresses being in readiness for them.
On Tuesday evening about l3,OOO
people crowded into Mechanics hall
to see and hear the distinguished
persons expected to be present at the
Joint reception to the Grand Army
and Woman's Relief corps. Music
and short speeches filed up the time
until the presidents coming. He
was introduced and spoke briefly, be-
ing greeted with tremendous ap-
plause, and at the close of his adj
dress left at once for the midnight
train to return to Washington. Vice
President Morton's speech closed the
evening campfire. There were other
distinguished speakers during the
evening.
Wednesday morning the business
session of the encampmant was called
to order by Gen. Alger, who gave
his address, being received with great
applause. Reports and other busi-
ness matters occupied the morning,
and at the afternoon session the chief
officers for the ensuing year were
chosen. As was predicted the choice
for commander-in-chie fell upon
Judge Wheelock G.. Veazey, who was
elected unanimously. For senior
vice-commander-in chief, Richard f
Tobin of Boston was chosen; for ju-
nior vice e-commander, Geo. B. Cream
er of Baltimore. 1t was voted tC

Mich. Col. Veazey's acceptance OF
his honor was most felicitous. Or
his return to his parlors at the Ire
mont House at the close of the ses
sion he was waited upon by com
mittee and escorted to Faneuil Hal
where banquet was given by Gettys
burg post of Boston, and at its close
public reception was held at th'
fremont House, where large numbers
called upon him. During its pro
gress a serenade was given him b.
the Old Guard Union Veteran corps
of Washington, of which organiza
ton Judge Veazey was recently made
an honorary member. The homo
conferred on Col. Veazey was highl,
appreciated by the Vermonters in tn
city, and yellow Veazey badges wer
donned by men and women from tn

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR.
Washington, dug. f.

Washington, dug. f.
Owing to the precarious state of
his health Senator Morrill, has been
granted an indefinite leave of absence.
This leaves Senator Aldrich in charge
of the tariff bill, and it would be
difficult matter to place it in more
competent hands. There is no better
posted man in the United States upon
the varied complications of our tariff
system than Mr.. Aldrich. The SEN
ate is not making much headway with
the tariff bill Notwithstanding It's
meeting daily at 10 o'clock, owing of
course to the announced policy of the
democrats in delaying it by every
known parliamentary method. How
long the majority propose to stand
this is problematical; but it certainly
will not be much longer. Senator
Blair offered resolution instructing
the committee on Rules to prepare
and report a change in the Rules
which would enable the majority to
cut off debate "after reasonable
time; but for some cause the repub-
lican leaders in the Senate did not
think proper to adopt it at this time,
although a caucus has determined
that it shall be done if necessary, and
the resolution was referred to the
committee on Rules.
The House refuses to grant leaves
Of absence and has revoked all those
in existence but that does not keep
the members here, as was shown by a
vote taken on Saturday when 14O
"pairs" were announced and the House
was compelled to adjourn at 2 o'clock.
The Cleveland democrats are mad
at Representative Flower, chairman
of the Democratic Congressional cam
paign committee and accuse him OF
using his position to lay the wires tc
secure his own nomination to the
Presidency in 1892. Flower has hat
the fever for some years and as ht
has 'sbarreP' of the largest size
which may always be tapped by the
right sort of talk, certain democrats
are determined that he shall alway:
be in the field, in his mind anyway
Seriously though, are not three New
York candidates-Cleveland, Hill ant
Flower-for the democratic nomina
ton rather too many for good feeling
The Louisiana Lottery lobby wa
never more active here than it is now
and if unlimited money lavishly spen
will defeat the anti-lottery bills whicl
have been favorably reported to tn
House, they will do it; but there is
healthy public sentiment throughou
the country favoring these bills, an
its effects are apparent here already

No Gain In Vermont.

Supervisor Howe has given out ap-
proximate figures on the census re-
turns for Chittenden, Orange and
Windsor counties. The present pop
ulation Of Chittenden county is
placed at 80, ,279, against 32,792 for
1880, a gain of 2,487. Orange coun-
ty loses, the present population be-
ing estimated at 10, ,571, against 23,-
522. The loss is 3,951. Windsor
county also loses. The present fig
ures in that county are given as 3D.
$50, while in 1880 the population was
35,196. This is a loss of 1866.
These figures are not encouraging.
The supervisor authorizes the state
ment the population in round num-
bers is 332, 900. The exact popula-
ton in 1880 was 332,286. The con-
cclusion is that the state is just where
it was ten years ago, if indeed it has
maintained the figures of 1880. The
gain is chiefly in Chittenden, Essex,
Rutland and Washington counties,
the latter making the largest gain and
Essex the smallest. Some sixty
towns will show gain and more
than $50 loss.
These figures verify the estimates
of the Watchnaa1a a few weeks ago,
when some of our contemporaries,
more emotional than practical, were
congratulating the state upon a gain
of several thousand. The census fig
ures vindicate also the policy of Com
missioner Valentine. The manufac-
turing towns are taking care of them
selves. The farming towns are in
variably lost. 1t is to the latter the
the state must direct its first et-
forts. 1t is noteworthy cir
cumstance that the farming towns
around the largest manufacturing
centres are also heavy losers OF pop

and Colchester-the latter containing

A bridge across the Hudson river
New York to Jersey City is talked of,
at an expense of twenty or more mil
lion dollars. 1t is to be 1000 feet
long; 100 feet wide and 40 feet
above high tide. The central span
is to be $3.50 feet-not quite twice
that of the Brooklyn structure; the
two shore spans are to be 25OO feet
each. The towers are to be 500 feet;
those of the Brooklyn bridge are 28O.
The Washington monument is 800.
The four supporting cables are to be
four feet each in diameter, against
the sixteen inches of the Brooklyn
bridge. Each cable will be composed
of 5000 steel wires. The anchor
age will be half as large as the na-
tional capitol building, and each will
contain more masonry than the lar
gest of the pyramids of Egypt.

The Secretary of the Treasury has
received a report from Capt. Healy,
commanding the revenue steamer
Bear, at Port Clarence, Alaska,
giving an account of the cruise of
that vessel since her departure from
Ounalaska, June II. con both the
seal islands, he says, "the failure
of the seals to appear in their usual
numbers was very noticeable, and
killable seals being very scarce and
the breeding rookeries almost unin-
habited at the time of our visit, and
the probabilities of the company's
securing their quota of 10000 skins
before the expiration of the season
are gravely doubted by many" Capt.
Healy says he has so far discovered
no evidence of illegal traffic on the
American coast, and that he intends
to 90 to Cape Prince of Wales for
the purpose of assisting in the estab-
lishment of mission schools at that
place and at Point Hope, in the Arc
tic Ocean.

ROCK FOR THE LEvEE.
The Trustees gree that the Front Street
Levee Must be Fixed.

The Trustees A gree that the Front Street
Levee Must be Fixed.
There was an informal discussion yester-
day afternoon by the City Trustees of the
matter of repairing and strengthening that
portion OF the levee in the vicinity of
W street where it was undermined last
winter.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said that ]. c. Person,
the engineer who had examined the levee,
had given him an estimate of the qusntity
OF rock that would be required TO fill the
gap where the quicksand had undermined
the embankment. Mr.. Persons plan was
TO carry the rock ont for distance of
sixty feet from the bank, at its base in
order to insure perfect safety from future
freshets. The railroad company would de-
liver the rock on cars at the levee at 81 per
ton. At this rate he cost would be So 600
Mr.. Mclaughlin stated that engineer
Pierson had also made an estimate of the
cost of Tip-rappiDg the leTee from Q 10 w
streets, and that this would entail an addi-
tional expense of 5000, or S2l 900 alto
gether.
Then the Trustees each looked at the
other inquiringly for a moment, IS if to
ask, "Wheres the money coming from p
Mr., mclaughlin remarked, maven I

but it must be done. no matter where the
money comes FROM
Eyes" added Mr.. Wolf, "and we've put
it off long enough now"
Mayor Comstock said be realized the
fact that at least portion of the proposed
work must be done at once, before the
river rises.
The members of the Board then went 20
call on Superintendent Wright OF the rail-
road company in order to further discuss
the matter of securing the granite neces-
sary for the work

Corruptin.i in municipal government came
in for sc rching also, and ne 1t the assault
upon free sch ools, in which he arrayed as
/ enemies of progress all religions that de-
mand division of school fuC6s or clerical
control of the schools. Chief of these es-
sailants be believed was the Church of
Rome, ruled from a foreign standpoint;
but the intelligent Catholics of America,
he believed, would not permit the assault
to succeed, bat would stand for THE free
school. the free church snd the free State.
Edward Bellamy and his scheme of ma
tionalism next came in for sharp criticism,
he finding three fatal flaws in naiionalism
of industry Henry George and the single
tax next received the shock OF the lecturers
blogs, Lastly the labor question was
taken up. He declared his deep sympathy
for workers and stood for wages edua, TO
twice the cost of the laborer's food and as
much more as his skill and the demand
warranted.
Me- Cook was frequently and loudly ap-
upon low license and high license and the
political power Of liquor and the schemes
against free schools. and for his demand
for good wages for labor, that children may
no: be forced in tender years to aid in sup
port of the workers family, aud thus be
withdrawn from school and become litter
etes. He declared that he was free lance,
stood on an independent platform and was
on the unpopular side; bat that someone
was needed to call things by their right
names and point out The enemies of pro-
'gress, freedom and civilization, and the
elevation Of the American masses.
