Bennington is looking forward p q
gigantic celebration next summer. The
act Of the legislature providing for
celebration Of the hundredth anniversary
Of the admission OF Vermont into the
Union, and for the dedication Of the
Bennington battle monument, Aug. 10,
1891. makes the governor, with the leu
tenant governor, speaker Of the house,
state treasurer and secretary Of state, a
committee Of five, who shall make the
necessary arrangements and have gen

New Hampshire and Massachusetts to
mite with Vermont in the dedication
and celebration. Furthermore, the com
mittee shall issua. in the name Of the
state an inyitations TO invited guests,
and shall call the annual encampment
az the National Guard Of Vermont. u
is discretionary with these officials what
amount Of money to spend. The re-
sponsibi1ity Of the celebrations is on the
state and not the battle association nor
the people Of Bennington.
The battle Of Bennington was fought

Some time ago the Breslau oculist, Dr.
II. Cohn, on examining the eyes Of seventy
five watcbmakers, found that scarcely 5
per cent OF the number were affected with
shortsightedness which result seemed to
Justify the belief that the use of the loupe
was an excellent protection against myopia.
The same Oculist examined the eyes Of fifty
watehnnakers in a Frierburg watch factory,
who had for years, without using a loupe,
worked the fine parts of watches, and Of
whom, nevertheless, only two were slightly
shortsighted
From this DR. Cohn concludes that
matchmaking Is an industry not injurious
to the eye. while, considering the fact that
his extensive examinations among stu
dents had established an average Of 56 per
cent. among competitors Of 81 per cent,
and Of lithographers 81 81 per cent, aiilict-
ed with rnyopia, be comes to The conclu-
sion that reading. writing, composing aud

than the constant exercise Of the visual or

now the Place Of Residence Ahects the
Dignity and Worth Of the Name.
What then are the means Of perpetu-
ating good family stocks in democracyl
The first is country life. In this regard
, democracies have much to learn from
the European aristoeracies which have
proved to be durable. All the vigorous
aristocracies Of past centuries lived IN
the country large part Of the year.
The men were soldiers and sportsmen
for the most part, and lived ON detached
estates sparsely peopled by an agricult-
1lral and martial tenantry. They were
oftener in camp than in the town or city.
Their women lived in castles, halls or
chateaux in the open country almost the
whole year, and their children. were born
and brought up there. The aristocratic
and noble families of modern Europe
still have their principal seats in the
country, and go to town only for a Jew
months of the year
Next, a permanent family should have
a permanent dwelling place, domiciie'
or home town. In older societies this
has always been the case. Indeed, a
HllaIH NllEn AEll ANn Aatt4AAI ~ q Ae--A@t 49,
American cities and large towns there
are as yet no such things as permanent
family houses. Even in the oldest cities
Of the east hardly any family lives in a
single. house through the. whole Of one
generation, and it is very rare that two
successive generations are born IN the
same house. tsls
Rapid changes Of residence are the
rule for almost everybody, so that city
directory which is more than one year
old is untrustworthy for home addresses.
1t is almost impossible for the human
mind to attribute dignity and social con-
sideration TO q family which lives in a
hotel or which moves into a new fat
every 1st Of May In the country,
however, things are much better. In
the older states there are plenty Of fami-
lies which have inhabited the same town
for several generations; there are few
families which have inhabited the same
house for three generations.
The next. means of promoting family
perInanence is the transmission of fam
lily business or occupation from father to
sons. In all old countries this. Inherit
ance of a trade. shop or profession is a
matter of course. Under right cOndi-
tions, a transmitted business tends to
make a sound family more secure and
permanent, and permanent family
tends to hold and perfect a valuable
business. This principle, which is Sc
curely founded ON biological law, APP
plies best in the trades and professions
in ordinary commerce, and in the in
dustries which do not require Immense
capital; but in Europe many vast indus
tries ana i.isiiiy great financial and mer7
camille concerns are family properties,
and there is in our own country already
a distinct tendency to this family man-
agement Of large businesses as being
more economical and vigilant than cor
porate management, and more discern
ing and prompter in picking out and'ad-
yancing capable men of all grades

Colonel William 2. Villas, of Wisconsin,
was travelling from Madison to Chicago.
Colonel Villas has some reason to believe
that every one in the state Of Wisconsin
knows him. Perhaps, also, he has heard
of those statesmen and politicians whose
wonderful memory for faces and names
made them popular with the masses. AZ
any rate it was apparent that he was
going to see how it worked, and if it was
not a success in one instance it can hardly
he said to be the fault Of Colonel Villas.
He entered the smoking car a few miles
ont from Madison and recognized the man
in the first seat behind the stove He shook
hands with him and asked after the vari-
ous members Of his family. Then he passed
on to the next His inquiries here were a
triae hazy, but the man evidently knew
Colonel Villas and was 1attered. That en-
Boldened the senuturf to go on; in fact he
was afraid to stop lest he should offend
some one.
Near the center of the car was an old
man with gray chin Whiskers, q fur cap
aud top boots. who was an interested spec
tator Of the proceedings. When his turn
came Villas shook him warmly by the hand
and asked how everything was at the farm.
The man grunted something in reply and
the colonel passed on. After he had left
the car the old man turned to a neighbor
and asked; ..'.

Eueenie's Cousin Casafnerta Dead.
Our Paris correspondent writes that a
cousin of the Empress Eugenie, the Mar
ouis de Casafuerta, has just died at the
Chateau d'Orfasnir, in Touraine. His
father. who was said to be only second
h wealth to the Duke Of Qssuna, lived
Tor 1nany years in what might be termed
4 domain, the wall Of which slirted one
side of the Rue des Ecuries d'Artois, and
a part of what in his time was the Rue
dc rOratoire. During the empire Queen
isabella, to be agreeable to the Empress
Eugene, arranged that the late marquis
was to be permanently attached to the
Spanish embassyin Paris, and he was
one of the most influential persons be
longing to the inner circle Of the en-
press.
He was charged, though quite young
man. with The confidential negotiations
between the emperor and Marshal Mar
Taez for the sending Of a Spanish militia
.ry force to Rome to replace that which
France kept at tho Eternal City to pro
tect the-pspe. But carefully as the Sc
.df5t Of Queen Isabeila's consent was
kent It leaked out, and Prince Bismarck
and Signor Rattazzi put their heads
together, and by getting her dethroned
defeated the scheme. London News.

 Mr. Jones, of Pulaski, spoke in favor of The bill. He depicted in beautiful words the meeting of ex- Confederates at Fayetteville last May and the battle of Pea Ridge. Look ing to the record, he found the gen. tleman from Nevada was 35 years Of age, ard that at the close of the war was only 9 years of age. We find here youths who come up and propose to over ride the sentiment in favor of this bill, this sentiment which is the voice of the people and the voice of God.
 Mir. Short spoke against the bill. The Democratic party has never put plank in it's platform favoring this legislation because sentiment was opposed to it.
 Mir. Wimberly spoke in favor of the bill, which provides for the levy of one. fourth mil for the purpose indicated, Sl0, GOO of which shall be appropriated for soldiers home.
 Mr. Rector Mir. Otey in the chair --took the floor in favor of the bill. He did not support it from any selfish motive, because tEose of his kith and kin had no charities to ask of tAis general a a.sembly.

 Saturday, Released.
 NEW ORLEANS, March 16.--The district attorney has entered a aolle prosique as 10 all indictments pend- ing in section E of the criminal ds- trict court against the Italians i'm plicated in the Hennessy assassina- ton. This releases Chas. Matranga, Incardona and the Marcheca boy.
 The indictment, in section A, Judge Marr's division, still holds Sunzeri, Paterno, John Caruso, Nata- lia and Pietzo.
 In Father Manoritta's statement yesterday he said that he was surc that the letter he re- ceived was from the Prove. zans faction of the Mafia. This statement Mr. Joseph Provezana this morning most emphatically denies. He said that his first impulse was to have Father Manoritta arrested,
 
 and he had consulted Chief Caster in regard to the matter, and was advised to make public statement concerning the matter, as he thought 1t would do more good.
 Provezsna says he has never been connected with the Mafia in any manner. ca the contrary, has been an object of their enmity. "About five years ago, :" says MT. Provezana, s'the Mafia sent me several letters, threatening to kill myself and brothers unless we gave the society 5000. We did not respond, and Jim Caruso shortly afterwards came to me and said he belonged to the society, and that we had better pay the money. then dropped the matter, and advised Caruso to have nothing more do with the society. He said he would do so, as he was tired of the Mafia, having recently been selected on committee to kill some one.'
