the failure Of the senate to ap>
prove the house bill to appropriate
$4,000 for our exhibits at the
Worlds Fair, is to be dep!ored, that
is, if the general assembly had any
right to make an appropriation for
such purpose, which we notice IS
doubted by some. We heartily en-
dorse the suggestion to ralse the
amount by private subscription, and
let our state be represented in this
big show.
Sharp County record., 1891-04-16

The legislature is abused for not
making an appropriation for an ex-
hibit at the Worlds Fair, for not
killing the mortgage law, for not
calling const. cony. and finally,
for not submitting three amendments
to the constitution; but the same
critics clam that the late and lam,
ented was the abIest solonic assem>
bly, this state ever saw, despite the
TACT that the senate lacked a delib-
crative head or heads.

Up tho Lightning R0d.

A reporter for the New York Neaos
called upon IAN old Russian ex-sea-
man" who is said to be the most expert
trigger" in that city. The reporter
wished an interview for his paper, on
the subject of steeple-climbing and the
like. He found his man pacing the floor
of . loft on West street, and quite will
ling to talk.

walking down Broadway. when I noticed

linked with the crowd. and pretty
soon I heard . man near me say:
Eff was sure that cross on the steeple
was brass, I would make good bid for
it."
Hooked up to the top of the steeple,
which was about hundred feet high,
and saw big cross glittering in the
sun. I noticed, also lightning rod
running from the cross. Twas just reck-
less enough to determine to shin up that

the cross was made of.
Before anyone could stop me was
out of reach. The rod was pretty rough
on my hands, and I did not reach the
end of my climb without risking my
neck; but I got to the cross at last,
whipped out my jacknife, and scraped
away. Having satisfied myself that the
cross was made of wood, slid to the
ground. amid loud cheers from the
crown, and pushed my way back to my
old position. Presently the man who
wanted to bid for the cross came up to
me.
Tell me, young man" said he, SIS
that cross made of wood Or Of metal?'

He clipped . five dollar note into my
hand, and remarked: Il guess that will

The following extracts from letters Of
Daniel Webster and his brother Esek-
iel viii indicate how the young men
bad TO struggle with poverty through
their college days. The reader Will re-
member that the home farm was mort
gagged to pay Daniels expenses through
college, and when it was proposed 20
give Ezekiel similar advantages the n
ther and mother held council. The
farm Is already mortgaged," said the Old
gentleman, "and if We send Ezekiel to the
college it will take all we have; but
the boys think they can take care of us.
It did not take the strong-hearted,
sagacious woman long to decide the
matter. @We can trust the boys" she
said.
So the matter was settled. Daniel
went back to Hanover, while Ezekiel
went, bundle in hand, to Dr.. Woods
and began the study of Latin, his ex-
penses being but dollar week.
In November, 1902, Daniel was at
home in Salisbury, while Ezekiel was
struggling with poverty at Hanover.
Funds were getting low in the Webster
homestead. Daniel writes under date
of November Fourth:
"Now, Zeke, you will not read half .
sentence, no, not one syllable, before
you have thoroughly searched this
sheet for scrip; but my word for it,
you'll find no scrip here. We held Q
sanhedrim this morning on the subject
Of cash. Could not hit upon any way
to get you any. Just before We went
away to hang ourselves through dissp-
pointment it came into our heads that
next week might do.
The truth is, father had an exeou.
ton against Hubbard Of North Chester
for about one hundred dollars. The
money was collecting and just ready to
drop into the hands of the creditors,
when Hubbard suddenly died. This,
you see, stays the execution till the
long processes of administering is COM
pleted
Il have now by me two cents in law
ful federal currency. Next week I
shall send them, if they be all.
We are all here Just in the old way,
always behind and lacking. Boys
digging potatoes with frozen fingers,
and girls washing without wood.
Ezekiel writes to Daniel about the
same time, the two letters probably
crossing each other.
@These cold frosty mornings very
sensibly inform me that I want warm
great-cost. I wish, Daniel. it might be
convenient to send me cloth for one,
otherwise I shall lie necessitated to pur-
chase one here. I do not care what
color it is-anything that will keep the
frost out. Some kind of shaggy cloth,
I think, would be the cheapest. Dea-
con Pettinglll has written offering me
$14 q month. to>keep school I believe
I shall take it.
Money, Dan, money! As I was
walking down to the Office after letter,
I hsppend to have one cent, which is
the only money I have had since the
second day after I came on. 1t is fact,
Dan, that I was called on for . dollar
where I owed it, and borrowed it, and
have borrowed it four times since topay
those I borrowed of. :"

General Perley 7. Ptkin, whose funeral
took place in Montpelier Friday, was one OF
the men whose service in the suppression Of
the great rebellion can hardly be exagger-
ated though it took little public attention.
Soldiers know that there is no moro inpor
tant department Of the army than the quar-
termaster's department. which provides and
cares for the food, clothing, and transpor-
taton OF troops For the efficient conduct
Of this department, executive ability OF the
highest order is required. In this depart
ment General Fitkin served in positions

the army in Grants overland campaign in
1864 and to the enormous responsibility
thus placed upon him was added the duties

Gen, fthn performed these duties with

with an efficiency and success, which won
for him the highest confidence and praise of
his superior officers, and the admiration Of
all competent judges In after years his

There have been many distinguished
men at the head OF the Grand Army Of
the Republic but few have received more
general commentator for the acts OF their
administration than has Commander in
Chief Neazoy, whose term Of Office ends
with tho national oncampmcnt at Detroit
this week. The National Tribune of Wash
ington in reviewing his administration says
that Colonel Neazoy has abundantly justi-
fled the expectations of the comrades who
elected him to his high Office at Boston.
1t refers to him as n soldier of splendid
record who had the good fortune to see and
improve n magnificent opportunity in the
greatest battle of the war; Il public man
who had worthily filed the highest Judicial
Office in the State; man OF fine presence,
and an earnest and convincing orator, aud
says that he has produced the best impress
sion wherever he has gone and made many
friends for himself and the order from one
end of the nation to the other. The Trib-
une continues as follows:
Much of the public estimation Of the Graud
Army of tile Republic depends upon the men
who are seen az its head. and Col. NcaXev has
been commandcr-in-chIct to whom all COM
w

creditablc. In war and in peace he represent
ed tine hest OF the volunteer soldiers Who
crushed the life out Of the rebellion. His acts
as Commander-In-Chict ana his speeches Al
the public meetings all over the country, have
conflrme the good opinion formed of him. He
has carried the glorious standard OF our order
worthly and well, and proved a TIL successor
