AMaliclnns Attack.


The st. Albans Messenger attempts tC
smirch the character OF VIM. Chaplin anc
belittle the work of the Board of Agricul-
ture OF which he is a member charging thai
''a few favored papers" published for pay
substantially the matter contained in the
boards pamphlet, "The Resources and At
fractions of Vermont"
The charge is unqualifiedly false. No pa
per was paid for publishing any part OF
this matter. A circular was sent to every
paper in the state offering to sell supple
ments containing this matter at $500 per
10OO, and to furnish free supplements suffi-
cient for the paid out Of the state circula-
tion Of the papers addressed. SO much for
this.
AS to the charge that occupied farms
were advertised in this pamphlet and pa
per. a simple statement of fact will suf-
flee. The Board had about $500 when
their years work was done. This with
what Gov. Page and other loyal Vermont
ers pledged was not sufficient to pay the
cost of publishing this pamphlet and get
ting the statistics required. A moderate
charge was therefore made for every ad-
vertisement inserted except those of few
unoocupied farms, and notice of this fact
was given the state press by circular let
ter, the substance of which many papers
published.
The members of the Board charged moth
ing for their time, and the articles were all
contributed gratuitously. The State
has done for about $500 what cost New
Hampshire over S2200, and to have paper
of the character OF the Messenger make
eucb a raolicioue and uncallad for attack
upon the Board when it must have re-
ceived copies of both circulars and known
its charges were false, is incomprehensi-
ble

AMONG THE BOYS IN BLUE.

The G.. A. r. has bought the hous,
at Appomattox where Gen. Gran
met Gen. Lee and talked things over
apt. Geo. +. Lemon, well-knowr
Washington pension agent says: "At
theelose Of the war there were about
i 2,700, 900 veterans. The census re-
turns show about ,200,00 now liv-
ing. The pension rolls carry about
100000. The deaths of pensioners
reported to the pension bureau aggre-
gate about 500 annually, but by no
means all the deaths Of pensioners are
reported. Not more than four-ffths
are so reported, and the pension office
only ascertains the death of the other
2000 by continued absence of the pen
sioner on pension payment day. 1t is
fair, from the ratio of pensioners to
veterans, TO presume that fully. 1000
to 40, 200 old soldiers are dying off an
nually. They will go much faster in
the next ten years than at any period
before y
The National Tribune recently gave
a portrait of Mrs. Lucy Wood and

Crandall Corps, May %, 1891. Her
father fought in the revolutionary war.
Her husband was soldier in the war
of 1912, for which she has just been
granted pension. She had one son
and seven grandsons in the civil war,
and she has Is great-grandchildren.
She is a very busy, cheerful old lady,
with an encouraging word for every
one. She is unable to find any glass
es 'sold enough for her. but is busy
making holders of pieces of print and
flannel, which she sells to all who
wish to buy. She is cared for by a
daughter, Sophia Wood, who is 20
years of age and who also viii join

A very singular form of neuralgia is that
affecting the nerves of amputated limbs.
1t not rarely happens that after an ampu-
tated stump has healed the nerves of the
stump, being compressed in the scar, be-
come exceedingly painful. Curiously
enough the pain is not felt in the stump,
but seemingly in the extremity of the limb,
which has probably been buried for a year
or more. In one case coming under the
the notice of the writer a man whose arm
had been amputated above the elbow often
referred to the pain he felt in the little
finger of the severed member for years
after the operation. An old one legged SOL
dier, applying for al increase of pension,
said, II have more pain in the foot that
amt than in the one that are" This was
his terse way of saying that he continued
to have pain in the foot which was lost on
the battle field years before.
The explanation of this curious phenom-
ena consists in the fact that the terminal
filaments of a nerve are its most sensitive
parts; they are the "feelers." the points
from which the sensations start on their
course to the brain, where they give notice
that something is wrong with the outlying
districts. When the nerve is injured in
this continuity the sensation is often re-
ferred to the terminal ends. Every one
who has struck his "crazy bone"-the point
above the elbow, where the ulnar nerve is
very superficial and easily in~jured-must
have noticed how much the sensation was
affected in the little finger, the pain being Of
ten greater than that at the point where the
blow was struck.-St. Louis Republic.

General Hughes at Fall River.

General Hughes returned Tuesday
from Fall River, Wis.,, where he delivered
an address on Memorial Day. To a TR1B-
UNE reporter he said: "Company B of the
Seventh Wisconsin, in which I served, was
organized at Fall River in May, 1861. The
original number was 100, but was in
creased by recruits, as the wal progressed,
until the rolls contained 1856 names. The
memorial services were held in the village
cemetery, where the sacred remains of my
mother, my father and six of my brothers
and sisters repose. Some of my comrades
and very many of the friends and compan-
ions Of my youth are also buried there. On
almost every.marble shaft l read the name
of those familiar to me in childhood. Be.
fore me sat eight of the survivors of my
company (sOme of whom were disabled by
wounds) and several of the old mothers
and fathers of the boys who went with us,
but returned not" Four of the old pio-
neers who settled there with my father
nearly fifty years ago, were there, "gray-
haired and infrm"-the others had all an
swered the last summons and had sscrossed
over to the other side." Over 1000 people
were present. They had not left their
farms and shops to assemble in obedience
to any custom, but to pay q real and heart
felt tribute TO the memory Of men whose.
patriotism was 'as pure as the lily; whose
heroism was as fadeless as the laurel.',

Why He Demanded q Raise,

Speaking of theatrical managers, one of
them who is very successful in his enter
prises, but who is very nervous and absent
minded and also near sighted, wa leaving
his theater n night after a first produc-
ton" when he stumbled into d stranger.
"Oh, 1 beg your pardon" he said. II beg
your pardon, Mr.. X-,"saidt the stranger.
"You see" explained the manager, ri was
thinking about some n l was thinking
that B. was a good hit. Have you ever
seen him?" The stranger looked at him.
"Yes," he said dryly, II think he's the best
man in the piece, don't your" Eyes, 1 do"
answered the manager, and the converse
ton ended there. But afterward, when
contracts were to be renewed, B de-
manded an increase of salary. He got it,
and when the papers were signed he said
with a laugh: "Thank you for the hint
you gave me that night you ran into me.
I'm glad you told me that you liked my
acting" The answer ought not to be
printed.-New York Tribune.

The people Of that community know the
significance of Memorial Day. No one
could participate in the services of that
hour without having grander and nobler
conceptions of duty and patriotism. In
writing of the 100 who first enlisted in my
company, one Of the country's most gifted
poets writes:
One hundred thousand yeomen,
Flowing in springtime swest,
Gathering the sheaves in autumn,
Reaping the ripened wheat.
They marched in storm and sunshine;
They fought in battle rain.
All me! twas different labor
From gathering golden grain.
In the wild Virginia mountains,
Some rounded up their lives,
With prayers for their stricken country,
With prayers for their mothers and wives.
On the plains of sunny Georgia
Others were laid to rest,
With traitor soil around them
And its clod upon their breast.
Some died on the dreary marches,
Hungry, weary and worn,
And some in southern prisons.
From friends and comrades torn.
And when the crippled remnant
Of the hundred who enlisted
The veterans we're but seven.
CuA AACCtluS IcCdlltu Sullle Oh Ll6 mlrLn-
full, as well as the sad Incidents of war,
The first comrade | met at Fall River was
w. fl. Morgan. He came up from the
southern part of the state to meet his COM
radeS. He looked grave and dignified.
"Bill' Morgan as we called him 80 years
ago, was then a droll, waggish fellow.
At the battle of Bull Run he received an
ugly wound through the neck and laid for
three days where he fell. The second day
some rebel vandals came along and OBJ
serving that Bill's clothing was in good
order, concluded to appropriate the same.
They first relieved him or his shoes and
then removed his pants. They had al
ready taken his money and his watch.
Bill was then nearly nude, but had given
no outward Indication of dlspleasure, but
when they attempted to rob him of some
plug tobacco which he carried in a pocket
in his blouse, entered a protest more fOrci.
BILE than elegant using some swear words.
they left the tobacco. Bill said their last
act convinced him they were not gentle
men.
