The Bennington banner. [volume] (Bennington, Vt.) 1858-1894, 1891-08-21
A Fine Picture of Bennington Bat
tie Monument.

There is now on exhibition at the BAN
NER office the largest and most beautiful
photo-engraving of the Bennington Bat
tie Monument that has ever been made.
The photograph was taken for
the architect, j. Phi. Rim of
Boston. tits the largest picture of the
Monument ever taken, and it shows the
noble shaft in all its colossal proportions
as it appears to an observer, standing on
Monument avenue, short distance above
the site of the old Catamount Tavern.
The picture shows the monument and
the avenue exactly as they appear when
looked at from that point to-day. The
great height of the shaft is impressively
brought out by comparing it with the
horses and wagon and the frisky repre-
sentative of CapricOrnus that stand in
the middle-foregrOund of the picture.
The perspective of the long avenue is
finely represented. the lights and shad-
ows on the walks and the trunks of the
trees and among the foliage being so
completely developed as to make the
observer feel that he is really in their
presence. G ..... ..-
The picture has the great merit of be-
ing as perfect in detail as any small pho
tograph, and the additional advantage of
being of grand size. 1t is developed on
the finest coated stock, 1Sx24 inches in
size, and is intended for framing. 1t is
not trashy, coarse print on common
paper, but highly finished, artistic half
tone phOtO-engraving,. fit to put in the
most elegantly furnished library or par
lor. No handsomer souvenir of the Cen
tennial Celebration, nor one better rep
resenting the central idea of the occasion,
can be sent by people in Bennington to
distant friends. The picture will be put
in strong tube or case, made especially
for sending it with perfect safety by
mail. 1t is so attractive that copie.
have already been ordered for persons If

TO guide the public and theprivate veal,

And lib'ral tho is inspire the rising age,
Pure gospel truths in full meridian blaze
To gray hairs, wisdom and to infants

Far distant chimes the blissful tidings

Rough, boisterous sects in heavenly

Swift gathering crowds in listening clus-

And hang inpatient on the speakers

While the calm teacher marks the glori-

That leads to mansions of eternal day.
The above is a copy of the speech made
by Noah Smith, August 10th, ITS, one
year after the battle of Bennington, and
the poem which follows it was delivered
also on that occasion. Both were kindly
furnished us by w. p. Baxter of Chicago,
ILL.,, for publication in the Centennial
number of the BANNER. Mr.. Baxter has
large collection of Vermont books and
pamphlets, numbering over 1000, and is
constantly adding to it. His earliest
book dates at Bennington in 1884, and is
entitled treason the Only Oracle of
Man." 1t was printed in Bennington by
Haswell Russell. Mr.. Baxter has over
400 manuscripts, ''all Vermonters" as he
says. His thOughtfulness in furnishing
the BANNER with these interesting dOcu-
ments for this occasion is certainly fully
appreciated by us, and will be, we are
sure, by all our readers. The material
is such as we could scarcely have secured
in any other way.

Speaking of the last ball game be- tween San Francisco and Oakland, the Daily Report says; There was no fun in the game until the ninth inning when T. Prattle Robinson summoned Louis Balz to his side just as the latter was getting into position to smile and deliver, as his custom. Louis dropped the ball and went to the bench. Then there arose from the Coloners side tall young man with wealth Of raven locks and 8 pair of blt aUhed tan shoes. He saunterej out to the box and his gait created much merriment among the specta- tors. He walked as if he had been accustomed to tramping between rail- road tracks over ties more than the regulation distance apart. Before delivering the ball he held it in both hands high above his head, as if he expected some William Tell unarksman to shoot 1t from his grasp. Owing to the length of time that elapsed in pulling the ball down to his waist and then behind his back, base-runner found no difficulty in advancing him. self on the circuit. After he had made one delivery some young man in one of the boxes sang, "And the band played an old Scotch ballad"
 After the game it was learned that the new pitcher was Crouch"

The repairs in the Casa Grande ruins are progressing finely. The ex- cavstions being made by Stoufier and White promise remarkable revealings.

IL is almost as hard as rock. -t looks ss though it would last forever if nOt uncovered. How did they make itn The materials they must have found on the ground l; but how did they know the art of put ting them together so that they would be equal to the best Portland cement?

THE state makers are between two fires. The republican papers say that if they do not submit a separate ar ticie to vote on, which is known as the Mormon test oath, that they will kill statehood On the other hand, fl they do give us the test oath to vote upon, we will not reach the goal for the reason that it will be showed un- der, and a republican senate would never leE us in with any such demo cratic dye on us.

Our BloOnser.

Everyone in Tombstone knows Boomer Many friends of his used to tell him to d-op the "l' in his name and call it Boomer. The latter was certainly the most appropriate, for there never was anything slow about him when news was brought in of strike in Arizona. It didn't matter where it was, he was there as fast as a mule could get him there. He left for Harnnee Iz.sa uPUu the bressi.SS nut of that boom and has remained there ever since.
 Boomers ambition was to be jus tice of the peace, but his efforts in that line were never crowned with success until recently. He is fixed at last, safe in his position as interpreter of justice with all its attendant honors and profits
 A gentleman from there n relating the doings of people at the mines says to the Gazette;
 At Harrisburg the only man left besides Moffai, Wentworth's partner in the store, is Bloomer, the justice of the peace for that district. Bloon.er is justice and Moffot i. constable but there Is DO one to arrest.

A GENTLEMAN writes 10 the PRosPEc TOR in which the point is raised that Col. Herring, ss attorney general and the legal advisor of the board, hsd no business before the board of equsIiza- tion as attorney for a number of cor porations, in which he succeeded in re dueing their assessments as placed by the county boards. The PRosPEcToR fails to see anything wrong about it. Custom allows a certain latitude ~hich is not confined to any particu- lar section of the country. There Is but one feature about this particular case which may become more promi- Bens in future campaigns, and that is that the Col. will reflect upon the stump, before again asssiling Mark snaish for his defense oi the Wham robbers.
