The Quiet Season.
T From Northfield News

Vermont affairs are tranquil at pres
ent. There is no governOrship contro-
versy ahead for the summer, no Wild
West show, nothing of greater moment
than Col. Forbes presence at the Ben
nington monument dedication and Col.
Hooker's party love for the farmers as
expressed at the various league meetings.
The editors of the state press are idly
whiting their pencils and dieting to en-
joy their excursion to Nantasket. A few,
more enterp, Using than the time requires,
are nominating the next governor or
naming Edmunds' successor. Col.
Hooker learns with regret that the
WatchmaE considers Chaplin of Middle
sex better representative farmer than
himself and fit for congress. The Brat
tleboro Phoenix and Reformer each has
the largest circulation in Windham
county and the st. Johnsbury Republi-
can quill-driver the biggest head in the
profession,

Seven DAYS, Rain.

Beginning Tuesday, June 16, rain
lasting seven days came down gently but
none the less effectively. A sharp thun-
der shower Tuesday ushered in the long
est storm for months. Fortunately the
water did not come down in torrents so
that it washed fields and roads, but
gently, with pause after every shower
so the land could drink it all in. Vege-
tation has taken on new lease of life
and every green thing is growing fast.
Early grass was badly injured by late
frosts but later fields have not suffered
greatly, and the final average will be not
far from the same it always has been,
taking one year with another. Farmers
generally feel better than they did ten
days ago.

In life columns have been devoted, chief
ly in the New York Tribune.
In that journal it first appeared that a
farmer in Indiana owned a COW. 1t
further appeared that the farmer, with a
bright and piercing eye to the main
chance, did sell and convey to his son an
interest in said COW. He sold, in fact,
one half. Shortly after the sale, COM
plications arose which grew troublesome
and which promised to cause serious
breach in peaceful family relations. The
division of farm labor had for some time
vested in the father the honor of feeding
the COW, while to his son fell the duty of
milking. The sale changed all this, and
Pere announced forthwith that he would
milk and John might feed-from his
(John's) own grain bin. When this was
followed up by the fathers claim of all
the milk, John demonstrated. He point
ed out the gross unfairness of such a
one-sided arrangement, but the old man
met him with logic which stunned him
by its simplicity. In effect, he admitted
that he had sold John one-half the COW
in the absence of any stipulation as to
lines of division, he had chosen to sell
the front half. That was all. John
alone had authority to feed he only had
the right to milk. John stormed and
swore to little or no avail, and the old
man MIXED regularly, wearing an air of
sanctity upheld under great provocation.
We must admire, in considering this
unhappy wrangle, the calm, dignified, ,
even rebuking attitude of this divided
COW. With not the slightest partiality
she quietly carried on the duties of life,
and switched her tail across the vision
Of the old man or the boy as it might
chance, with lofty disregard of strict
ownership. Innocently enough, how
ever, she one day hooked the owner of
the back end who promptly brought suit
in court against the owner of the front
end for injury done by his property. The
son had already borne much, but this
proved the last straw. He contested,
and the lower court sustained him, to
the great ire of the old gentleman, who
appealed. The case went up we believe.
1t is going up now for all we know to
the contrary.
The irony of fate is shown in the arbi-
tration of death. The only witness in
the knotty case is removed beyond reach
Of abp@na, and legal practitioners are
m'I rning the loss of the prettiest, which
is' q say the most puzzling, case ever
brought before the courts of Indiana.
Nothing, in fact, remains except social
chasm between father and son and final
division of cows hide. 1t is an old
and has been considered trite express
sion that I" the tail goes with the hide,' -
but this case may prove the shining ex-
ception. We shall await further develop
ments with no small interest.

Two excellent things have been record
ed of the president the past week. He has
chosen good men to make up the private
land court, established under the law of
the last congress, and has not confined
his choice Of judges to the Republican
party. He has, moreover, gone into the
spoils ridden state of Indiana and pro-
NOTED to the head of the postoffice at In
dianapolis man whose claims rested
not on party service, but on long and
faithful record as assistant in the office.
Here are two acts of conspicuous fidelity
to the principal of civil service reform
such as we have not had from presi-
dent in long time.

pert predicts that Delaware as a peach
center will be thing of the past before
many years. The future peach crop will
be grown in the mountainous regions.
Great success has followed the expert
ments already made in this direction.
Along the mountains the crop is not so
likely to be caught by the frost and such
diseases as blight and yellows are prac-
tically unknown. The fruit is also of a
richer quality.
A dispatch dated at Rutland last week
is authority for the statement that Rut-
land railroad stockholders have voted to
execute a consolidated 4 1-2 per cent
mortgage for $3,500,OOO, United States
Trust company of New York, trustee.
Three millions of the bonds will be held
by the trust company to take up existing
mortgages as they mature, and half
million will be used in making permanent
improvements, building bridges and sta
tions, and laying 72-pound rails and buy
ing rolling stock.
The National Temperance Advocate
notes with approval the recent action of
the Prussian government in a decree
which was introduced into parliament
with the approval of the emperor placing
restrictions upon the sale of Intoxicating
liquor. In Germany this means much.
The bill provides for the revoking of
saloon licenses and the imposition of
fines upon the saloon keepers who en-
courage persons of inebriate habits. 1t
also proposes to fine drunkards them
selves when they are poor, and so pre-
vent them from indulging in the vice Of
intemperance, and in cases where fines
presumably would not have the desired
effect imprisonment is to be imposed.
The Springfield Republican says:
" There is something of a contrast be-
tween the action of the Presbyterian gen.
eral assembly in this country in disap-
proving of DR.. Briggs as professor in a
theological seminary, and the action of
the presbytery of Glasgow and the gen.
eral assembly at Edinburg in relation to
Prof. Max Muller's discourses as Clifford
lecturer at Glasgow. Prof. Briggs is
without question Calvinist of strict
type, while Prof. Muller is what may be
termed an eclectic in religion. But an
attempt to silence Prof. Muller has ig-
ANONYMOUSLY failed, the Glasgow presby-
terry negativing the charge of heresy by
vote of II to five, and the Edinburg
assembly dismissing the appeal from this
vote. And if Scottish Presbyterianism
can stand Muller-not to speak of Rob-
ertson Smith, whose position as to the
higher criticism is exactly that of Prof.
Briggs-how far behind the times are
Princeton and the general assembly that
Obeyed its dictatiOn.

Quite little boom has materialized
during the past week in the American
Journal of Education, ex-Gov. j. Greg
ory Smith being the man and Senator
Edmunds' prospective vacant chair the
object. Both good 'uns.
The bronze statue surmounting the
Stannard monument at Burlington was
unveiled Saturday with imposing cere-
monies. 1t was made by Karl Gerhardt,
of New York, and is highly compliment
ed as work of art. Its heights six feet,
two inches, and the cost was $500. The
monument is now complete at cost of
$4,000.
Various newspapers have been engaged
the past week in filling full of holes an
alleged interview with Senator Edmunds,
printed in the New York World and the
Richmond Despatch. The interview was
dated at Asheville, n. c., which place
the Senator has not visited for some
time. The big city dailies have serious
drawbacks. With all their padding
slush and sensationalism, they occasion
ally run out of stuff" and have to use

.1s a Husband Worth Havinp9"

Our spirited contemporary, Woman, has been asking its readers, as ''prize' conundrum, 'Is a husband worth hay ingY' Since the question has arisen it is satisfactory to note that the three win ming correspondents all answer in the affirmative. Being married, also, they speak with connaissance de cause. In fact, the great majority of answers quot ed more or less confidently pronounce that-taking one thing with another, sub ject to exceptions, remembering also how society is sorganized-itis, upon the whole, rather better to have a husband than not.
 To tell the truth, the issue is not en- couraging. As the first prize winner says, "This momentous question would have been laughed to scorn fifty years ago." We might put it more strongly all round. Fifty years ago it would hardly have been safe for respectable journal to pro- pound the query unless in joke Twenty years since no one would have replied seriously. At the point we have reached nobody is much surprised; the answers are many and grave, and their purport is by no means decided.
 Remembering that women are by na- ture conservative, very slow to adopt new ideas in others, this hesitating tone seems significant It is rather alarming to speculate how the question will be treated ten years hence. Ladies who re- ply fail to grasp the abstract view, as might be expected. They all declare that good husband is worth having, and bad one decidedly not. These, how ever, were not worth a question-they speak for themselves. Probably women will be more logical in the years to come; but goodness only knows to what con- clusion more accurate reasoning will bring them.-London Standard

Valuable I8oOkmark.

Aaron Holman, life long resident of West Millbury, died short time ago, leaving an estate valued at nearly $10,- 900. When the administrator examined his effects he found among other things an old fashioned clasp Bible that MT. Holman had been in the habit of reading every morning before breakfast. The administrator was told that the owner of the Bible had used q very odd looking bookmark, and looked to see what it might be. His surprise was very great when he discovered it to be certificate of deposit of $7O0 in the Worcester Safe Deposit and Trust company. The de- posit had been made in March, 1881, and for ten years the $7o0 had been drawing interest at per cent. The old man had evidently felt wealthy enough to use this valuable bit of paper as a mark in his Bible, and thus combined finances and gospel inside the same covers.- - Worcester Gazette.
