Col. w. G. Veazey was unable to at
tend the Chicago meeting of the Sons o.
Vermont, this month, but he sent a let
ter in which he eulogizes our common
wealth after these truthful and glowing
terms: "The old farm on the mountain
slope can spare for while the rugged
boy who has added to his hardened mus
cles trained brain and upright charac.

our broad land cannot get on without
him. As he was nobly inspired to 60
and fight the battles of his country, when
war threatened destruction, so 1hen the
better days of peace bring the OppOrtu
nifty, he feels impelled to strive for the
prizes in business which are held out to
the brave and strong in the rapid devel
Opment and growth of new country
But during it all he never fOTgets that he
has nowhere found better constitution
and laws, purer public administration
greater individual adherence TO virtuous
principles and habits, nobler women OF
Drawer men, better homes and fineI
schools, deeper love OF flag and coun
try, higher reverence for God and re-
ligiOus observance. And he will be sure
to remember that there is a wealth OF
beauty beyond all comparison IN the
Green Mountains of his nativity, wheth'
er viewed in the leafy month of June OF
when October dresses them in the gart
of varied and brilliant tintage, or when
their snow-clad slopes in winter reflect
the rays of the morning sun with the
dazzling brightness Of a vesture of dia'

that her absent sons more than cOmpen.

those sons that they were born and bred

One hundred and thirty-two Knights
Templar contributed to-day each piece
of his cuticle to save the life of Sir
Knight John Dckerson. A cancer was
removed some time ago from Dicker-
sons thigh, but the incision in the flesh
was so deep and wide that nature was
unequal to the task of healing over the
wound. The experiment was tried of
ENGRAVING the skin of some of the lower
animals, but it failed. The surgeon in
charge announced to Dickerson's breth-
rem that if human skin could be obtained
it would in all probability save the pa
tents life and insure his complete re-
covery. The matter was preached in the
Commandery and to man the Knights
offered to submit themselves to the nee
essary operation. Those selected by the
surgeons have had to go through "A sort
of training, being dieted, ETC., for several
days past They were particularly adj
mOnished to refrain from any alcoholic
stimulant. This morning each man took
bath and then repaired to the emergen-
cy hospital, where the operation was per
formed. Five or six tainted when their
cuticle was being removed, but were
quickly Tesuscitated. The surgeons
worked hard for three hours and were
themselves pretty well tired out when
through. Chicago Despatch Jan. 18th.

The fifth annual dinner of the Yer
mont Association of Boston, given at the
Hotel Vendome in that city last Friday
evening, was unique in at least two re-
spects. One was that the wives and
daughters of the Sons of the Green
Mountain State shared in the festivities.
The other was that notable event in
the history of Vermont was made the
especial subject of the speeches, that
event being the one hundredth anniver-
sary of admission to the Union. Chief
Justice Field recalled to the minds of the
diners some of the events in the early
history of the State. Hon. Dorman B.
Eaton, who had travelled from New York
with rhe one object of participating in
the anniversary celebrations, spoke of the
Vermont character and Of its influence
in the Nation. Rev, Henry G.. Spaulding
gave history in verse. Collector Beard,
Judge Sherman and other gentlemen
made short contributions to the speak
ing, and Miss Mary Howe of BrattleborC
sang four or five songs. And every one
nearly improved the opportunity to talk
of the old home days and the well re
membered SCIENCES and to renew and ex
tend acquaintance among the members
of the Association.

aunaE powEKs ASH lie FARMnRs

At the recent meeting of the Board Of
Agriculture in Morrisville, Judge Powers
spoke few moments, and the following
are some of his remarks: have attend
ed nearly every session Of the meetings
and am getting 10 be quite farmer in
my feelings. 1 belong to the consuming
class, and we are all interested. II you

gentleman who has spoken seems 10 con-
vey the idea that more brain work and
not so much muscle is needed in our
agricultural pursuits. My observation is
that those farmers which make the most
study of their business succeed the best.
The depression in agriculture is felt just
as much as In every other business, and
il is all due to the same cause, extraya-

One of the high officials oil the British
Foreign Office explains that the carrying
of the BehIing Sea controversy to the
Supreme Court was done at the instance
of Canada and upon the ad nee of Amer
lean lawyers, and that the diplomatic
correspondence between the American
and British Governments is proceeding
as if nothing happened. This will moli-
lily somewhat the irritation that the in
cident had produced, but will not entirely
allay it. Great Britain cannot entirely
escape responsibility for course that
was so discourteous as it was unusua
by throwing the blame ON the truculent
Dominion. Lord Salisbury should have
been strong enough not to permit the
Canadians to tease him into m )vement
that he must have known would seri
ously offend our Government, and i'm
peril if it did not wholly prevent peace
full ending of the negotiations. The at
fair again emphasizes the fact that Can
ada is the great, perpetual obstacle *
thoroughly amicable understanding
between Great Britain and the United
States. Here Tory politicians appar
emily devote themselves habituallY to de
vising ways and means to provoke al
open rupture. Sooner or later this will
have to be ended, -BOston journal.

SLAVERY NEVER EXISTED Is YER
MONT.

The Burlington Free Press says EYER
mont has the distinction of being the
first State to abolish slavery within hel
borders" Now as slavery never existed
in the State, the State could not have
abolished it. The first constitution
adopted July s, III, prohibited it, 1t is
true that the census Of 1890 gives few
slaves in Vermont but, as the BANNET
has often pointed out, Col. George Har
rington, when he was an officer of the
Census Bureau at Washington, discov'
cred this to be a clerical error. The fact
was widely published at the time and
has been separately alluded to since. In
view of this fact and of the fact that the
constitution of the State prohibited
slavery to begin with, it seems inexcusa
Bile for Vermont editors, as they often
do, to speak of slavery ever having an
existence in the State.

About 800 feet from the bottom of the
