CHRIS" STILL ON EARTH.

The following Associated Press dis
patch, dated Haverhill, Mass, April IL,
evidently refers to the doinSs of Brooks
yille's old friend, "Chrs" Roberts, whose
career as an "evangelist" there came to
rather abrupt termination two or three
years ago.
When the Rev. c. Z. Roberts, the col
ored evangelist who presides over the
Pleasant Street mission tabernacle, went
away a week ago he was all alone. When
he returned he had wife, pretty and
bright, and %. She is also white. Miss
Martha Abbott was her name and she
came from Putnam. He first saw her at
Worcester few months ago. while en-
gagged in his religious work. She became
infatuated with the tall, handsome col
ored man and followed him from place to
place. Last week Roberts suddenly left
the city and went to New York, where
lac met Miss Abbott and they were mar
ried by the Rev. Mr.. Boswell and re-
turned to Worcester. There Mrs. Rob
erts stayed till Monday.
Mr.. Roberts returned Saturday night
and preached on Sunday, as usual. Mon
day he returned TO Worcester, and last
night brought his wife home with
him. She presided at the organ at the
meeting, and played with much express
sion, and sang sweetly several solos after
the services. She met her husbands pa
rishloners and greeted them kindly. His
sermon last evening was an attack upon
the persons who had circulated malicious
stories in regard to the affair. " Il am
married." he said, lawfully married,
and that is all there is to be said"

The Sheffield (Ala.) Times of recent
date has portrait and somewhat notice
of the record of an iron-maker, Mai. Ed
ward Doud of that city, who has made
a reputation for Sheffield pig iron and
the capacities of Sheffield furnaces I'M
surpassed by any coke iron furnaces in
the world. Maj. Doud was superinten-
dent, secretary and treasurer of the
second coke iron furnace ever built in
the South, that of the Chattanooga Iron
Co., the first furnace, the Roane of Rock
wood, Tenn, preceding it in operation
about year. He resided in Chattanooga
from 1874 till the spring of 70, when he
went to Cowan, Tenn, and built the
Lewanee furnace, which he operated a
year, clearing net profit for the owners
for the year of $4,000. This remarkable
exhibit brought the furnace into popular
notice, and showed the vast future for
iron men in the South. From Cowan he
returned to Chattanooga and built the
Citico furnace. always operating with
great profit. After this he accepted
position as general manager of the Che
rokee Iron Co, at Cedar Town, Ga, from
there coming to Sheffield, where he has
been superintendent of construction and
had the managing control of two remark
able furnaces, the Lady and Hattie Ems

THE SENATORSHIP.

We publish in another column Secre-
tary Proctor's statement of his position
with reference to the senatOrship, to-
gether with some comments of the press
on ex-Congressman Stewart and his fit
ness for the place.
Mr.. Stewards candidacy is based on
solid ground. He has had long career
of legislative work both at home and at
Washington. For the past eight years
he has been in the lower house, and is
therefore familiar with current ques-
tions of national and State concern now
demanding attention, besides being ex-
perienced in the ways of doing things at
Washington. 1t is not too much to ex-
pect that, should he be appointed, he
would prove worthy successor of Mr..
Edmunds not only, but of Collamer,
Foote and Phelps, the latter the father of
the distinguished ex-minister at the court
of st. James, with whom Mr.. Stewart was
associated as law partner at Middlebury

CURRENT COMMENT.

Finally, as we have said before. it is
our system of taxing money, and moth
ing else, that has driven capital out of
the State, and that effect will be con-
tinued as long as the cause remains. If
you would see Vermont blossom like
the rose, repeal the law taxing money.

THE SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC FUNDS.

y few State papers are anxious that
that SlSO,000 direct tax, refunded the
State by the government, should be de-
voted TO that ubiquitous and BaDquo-
like state agricultural and mechanical
college" but by far the larger number
are in favor of devotiug it to the general
State school fund. The majority is emf
nently correct Hardwlck Gazette.
1t was stated by this paper last week
that the chance for Vermont to get any
thing back from the government on ac-
count of the direct tax was exceedingly
small. Information has come from
Washington during the past week in
confirmation of our position. The dis
patch says: "The first comptroller of
the treasury has satisfied himself that
the United States government may claim
offsets against all States wherein the tax
was not collected from individuals direct
ly by the government; and among the
offsets he had discovered was one
against Vermont for S543, 80 "for quotas
of arms, ammunition and accoutrements
overissued under the act of lS0S". There
is consequently no necessity for haste in
deciding what the State will do with the
money, for it may, for aught any one
knows, never get IA cent.
1t may nevertheless be worth the while
to consider. now that the subject is
brought up by the Gazette, whether
further additions to the State school
fund are desirable. The first of these
funds came from the money lent to the
States by the general government away
back in the 30s, which was distributed
by this State among the towns and is
known as the surplus fund. The towns
took the money and pay six per cent
interest on it, and this interest forms
part of the money annually distributed
by the selectmen among the districts.
The second windfall, if it NAV be so
called. was the Huntington fund. A
man named Huntington, native of
Vermont, but resident of Brantford,
Ontario, accumulated fortune. and,
being without near relatives, desired to
do something for the State of his birth.
So he provided by will that the bulk of
his estate should at his death 90 into
the treasury of this State and that the
income arising therefrom should be de-
voted to the support of common schools.
The State received the money about
1850.
Now what has been the effect of
this loan and this gift: The taxpayers of
the State have simply been relieved to an
extent from paying for their schools.
No school is particle better than it would
have been had these funds never existed.
Moreover, it is probably true that the
schools are the worse for the funds.
People are, as rule, interested to see
that money they pay is we'll laid out,
and they are negligent about the man
ner in which some one else's money Is
spent. Very many schools have been
maintained wholly on the public money.
and it is undoubtedly the fact that the
chief concern of the people of those dis
tricts has been that the schools should be
held the requisite number of weeks,
rather than that the schools should be
the best.
