liked The Phoenix so well before that
had some misgvings about its change Of
form, although the eight-page paper, fast
ened and opened, is far preferable to
large folio; but the very first number Of
the new Phoenix has dispelled my doubts,
It's admirable arrangement Of matter legi-
bic type, fine paper and beautiful appear
ance constitute decided improvement
over what was before the handsomest
paper in Vermont, with one exception.
now consider The Phoenix the best looking
and best arranged country weekly in the
United States, and the enterprise with
which IL IS conducted and the fairness and
ability with which it is edited. should be
source Of pride to all its patrons, and
should greatly increase their number.

Editor HERALD:
A friend, for 4 "joak" or an enemy
with murderous intent recently hurled
at me copy of the Dakota Steve with
its screen box attached. Curiosity.
not unmixed with appreh ension,
caused me to carefully examine it, and
| find some grains of truth mixed with
it's rubbish on the floor where only prime
wheat ought to be found and in the
screen box l find the foul seeds of an
archy and rebellion. Upon its first
page appears an article entitled, "The
Tariff Tax" A clear, logical state
ment Of facts now pertinent and of in
terest to the American People and it
would be well if every paper in the
United States, having at heart the
welfare OF the narlon, would copy it
and the pretended "replv" to it, which
may lie found in the screen box. ,rhx
two articles forclhiy illustrates the
difference between the classes ant
parties to which the writer's belong.
Those who were living and posted
on current events and those who have
since become conversant with the
facts by careful study of history know
that long before the commencement OF
open hostility the leaders of the South
sought to destroy the union of the
states and build up on the ruins of this
governmental confederacy whose chief
corner stone should be human slavery
THAT TO THIS END THEY or
POSED THE AMERICAN SYSTEM
OF A PROTECTIVETA TARIFF. T,.l

Such grass is believed to have

or the Bro'nus Inermis OF botany.
1t Is not certain where iii. forage
plant originated, but it IS known that
for the past thirty years it has b-e,,
cultivated in Austria and Hungary
and in the hot arid sections of South.

OF native grasses were sown ALONGSIDE

only two Of these survived.
The bromr grass grew luxuriantly
and surpassed the native grasses u
