epOchs in the life of nations determined.
set against the splendor of them all that
final onset up yonder hill and over its breast.
works of those New England farmers on
whose faces desperation had kindled the
supernatural light Of battle which never
shines in vain. That conflict was the last
hope of the Hampshire Grants. They were
fighting for all they had on earth, whether
of possessions or of rights. They could
not go home defeated, for they had no
homes to go to. The desolate land that
Burgoyre would have left New York would
have taken. Not a man was on the field
by compulsion, or upon the slightest expec-
taton of personal advantage or reward, The
spirit which made the day possible was
shown n stephen Fay of Bennington,
who had five sons in the fight. When the
first born was brought home to him dead,
=" ! thank Cod" he said, that / had son
willing to give his life for his country"
Such, in merest and briefest outline, was

served, comes down to us only in iiashes

propriate and gratifying that the chief mag
istrate of the nation should be at such a
time our most honored guest. In this
scene, party differences are forgotten. We
are only Americans. And i'm loyalty to that
great office, and respect for the incumbent
who fills it so well, we are all this day on
the presidents side
History is full of battles. All its pages
are stained with blood. Instruments, for
the most part, of ambition, Of tyranny and
of crime, it would have been well for the
world to be spared the misery they wrought
II would be well for its history if their
memory could perish. But there have been
battles, nevertheless, whose smoke went up
like incense; consecrated in the sight Of
heaven by the cause they maintained
Such was that for which this shaft shall
henceforth stand. If battles were TO be ac-
counted great in proportion to the numbers
engaged Bennington would be but small
In comparison with Marathon and Water
loo and Gettysburg it was in that view only
an affair of outposts. But it is not num-

Common Grated

The celebration at Bennington of two Of
the greatest events in the history of Yer
mont-the battle of Bennington, ia years
ago, and the admission of the state into the
Union 100 years agO-was as complete and
satisfactory as the most particular Yer
monter could wish. The sun rose on per-
feet day, and between 10000 and 10000 per-
sons from New Hampshire, Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York and
almost every town in Vermont poured into

Vermont consecrates to-day her first his
toric monument. But not hers alone. New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, who fought
with her at Bennington, have joined in erect
ing this memorial Of their common history.
And they are here, by a splendid represen-
tation, to share in the triumph Of its com
pletion, and TO give to the occasion, by the
distinction Of their presence, higher dig
nifty, more generous grace. The day has
a still larger significance. It is trebly for
tunate. II marks not only the anniversary
of the battle, and the happy contamination
| in this structure of the eXertiOns of fifteen
| years, but likewise the centennial of the
| entrance Of Vermont into the Federal
| Union. 1t unites in its suggestions the
great memories and the great hope in the
life of our commonwealth, the expiring cen.
fury and the limitless future. II is fit that
we should signalize such an occasion,
Well may Vermont throw open this day
her gates and her heart. Well may she
call her children home, and with dis
play uncommon to her simple life, with
trumpets, and banners, and acclamations
and the triumphant voice of cannon, Offer
unbOunded welcome to the great concourse
that has gathered to her festival 1t is ap

THE IND.


Diseases were supposed in ancient
times to be caused directly BY the dis
pleasure Of the gods, belief that has
not yet disappeared from the minds Of
savage tribes. Evil spirits also played
their part, the two beliefs being con-
nected more or less intimately. Hence
the intervention Of priests and kings, to
whom attached q sacred character; and
the idea that the latter could cure by
touch which prevailed until o recent
date. The faith in the healing principle
presumed to emanate from the royal
person was really part and parcel of the
belief in the divine right Of kings, that
Is, their right TO rule regardless Of the
wishes Of their subjects.
From all these causes came that MKT
ure Of superstition, metaphysics and
medicine that characterized the prac-
tice Of the healing art in the middle
ages, when doctors wore gowns and a
special formof head covering and talked
indiscriminately law, religion, astrology
and medicine. Astrologers made health
and longevity to depend on the constel-
lations, witches and sorcerers on occult
causes, and both dealt to Q certain ex-
tent In remedies that depended rather on
tradition than on science. From all these
germs, with something Of the druggist
and the barber-Uho were in those old
times more or less connected with medi-
cine-thrown in, came the full hedged
physician Of today.-San Francisco

and the other was hurled ashore more
dead than alive seemingly. As for the
woman, the tiger Of the surf seemed to
play with her like a cat does with

white spume and froth Of the angry sea.
Courageous Janet, standing on the
beach, saw her 80 being done TO death, and
without moments hesitation plunged
into the waves after her, seized her by
the hair and dragged her to land, uncon-

golden blonde maid Of two years or there
about. Both were resuscitated with
little difficulty and sheltered in the house
Of David King.
