IN connection herewith Interesting
extracts from the work follow: ia =
No State in the Union probably equals
Vermont in scenic beauty, and none can
approach 10 in point of historical inter
ests. Nearly every mountain, river, and
lake throughout its length and breadth
has clustered about its name wealth OF
historical lore, over which the muse of
history loves to Representations that
have inspired the pen of the poet. novel
list and historian to works Of rare grace
and beauty. The Champlain valley,
which not only includes the magnificent
lake of that name, but the whole West
|ern slope of the Green Mountains, has its
ardent admirers, while the Connecticut
River, corrupted from the Indian
Quonektacat for four hundred miles
flows grandly on in majestic curves to
the ocean, with no less earnest wake of
admiration. The truth is, both portions
of the State are needed to make up this
unique and varied scenery. .... ..
The numberless streams, ponds and
lakes furnish more than an abundance of
fresh fish, and the railway brings the
Western dressed beef and tropical fruits
to the very doors. What wonder that
| Vermont women are notable housekeep-
ers. What wonder that the Boston office
and Vermont officials, when furnishing
transportation at merely nominal rates,
were also beseiged to direct their patrons

In conversation with the writer, Mr.

has both the Italian softness and South

WY PROF.. PERRY REsIGNEp.

Professor A. L. Perry, the wellknown
political economist, who has taught his
favorite science and English History in
Williams college for the the last thirty
eight years, has resigned. Thereby
hangs a sensational tale of college life.
Professor Perry is brainy man, thor
oughly acquainted with all the intri-
cacies of political economy, and is an
enthusiastic believer in free trade.
Notwithstanding his experience as
a teacher, he has never been able to
keep strict order in his classes, the stu
dents under him taking advantage OF,
and abusing, his leniency and kindness
by cutting up capers peculiar to certain
class of students. ft.. ..ttfith .f
Last week while Professor Perry was
holding recitation in political econ
omy, several of the students in the rear
of his room began to create a slight dis
turbance. Addressing one of the stu
dents, named Merrill, whom he supposed
was mixed up in the trouble, Prof. Perry
sent him from the room. Later in the
day Merrill received a letter from Pro-.
fessor Perry requesting his presence at
the professors residence. Pursuant to
the request Merrill went.
Professor Perry is an excitable man
and easily angered. In the course of the
conversation that ensued the professor
began to gesture to emphasize what he
was saying and accidentally his hand
brushed Merrill's cheek. He immedi-
ately apologized, stating that his action
was entirely unintentiOnal: but Merrill
refused to accept the apology and said
he hid not know whether it was uninten-l
tional or not. Merrill then turned to
leave. He was followed by the profess
sor whose wrath was aroused by this
ungenerous treatment. Just as Merrill
reached the steps the professors anger
overcame his Judgment. He drew back
his foot and kicked Merrill into the path.
Merrill Immediately reported the mat
ter to the president of the college. HiIn
order to avoid the consequences that
might result Professor Perry rendered
his resignation and it was accepted.
1t was known several days ago that
Professor Perry had resigned, but the
developments attending the case were
learned by accident Getting an inkling
of the affair our reporter was immedl-
ately instructed to get the facts. With
the greatest difficulty this was accom-
plshed, as the students were exceedingly
averse to talking about the matter
Professor Perry is nearly 10 years old
and it is a shame that the students
under his instruction should have shown
so little respect for his age.-1roy Tele-

ARE WE ON THE EVE OF A CHANGE
OF OWNERSHIP?

l do not see, says 7. w. HIgginson
in Hdrper's Bdzddr, how anybody can
help recognizing that we are on the eve
of great change of ownership of rural
property. The change Just described as
having taken place within 80 years is not
greater than the next 80 years will show
if the whole states of the Union 60 on
negotiating as they are already begin
ming to do, with city people to take up
their abandoned or deteriorated farms
for summer residences only. Estates of
1000 acres or more owned by non-Tesi-
dents are multiplying in the hill towns
of New Hampshire, and we hear of a
proposed deer park of $4,000 acres. The
property thus taken is not wrested away
from the poor, for if it were offered as a
GIFT in small holdings it would not com
who cannot afford to take it under ex-
listing conditions; it is only available
as toy for a rich man or as play-place
for his children. Surely it is chang
ing period for any region where sys-
tematic and organized effort is made to
bring in strangers for q nominal oc-
oupancy. No new theory of property,
as of Mr.. Bellamy or Mr.. George, can
tHoOlIbl1llg tltCI JlllS hlludblOus lOl,
granting that the land really belongs to
the whole community, this is the way
the whole community wishes it to be
used. Yet, supposing the summer resi-
dents ultimately to hold every foot of
land in the township, as is logically sup
possible, who will then be the legal citi-
zens of the town? Who will vote in its
town meetings? Who will decide its
politics? Who will represent it in the
legislature? 1t will be a situation not
contemplated by our fathers, nor laid
down in the books. 1t is easy enough
to adapt republican institutions to an
occasional nonresident who is taxed
and has no vote; but how is it with
whole community of non-residents-
every inch of Lenox, or Bethlehem, or
Marion owned in New York or st. Louis?
We can only console ourselves with the
thought that the human hexibility
which has accepted so many changes
can accept a few more, and that new
remedies are discovered quite as rapidly
as new diseases.
