1t is clear, cold weather and all are at
work, men and women, trying to finish
up fall work and get ready for Yer
mont winter, which. 1t is hoped, will
be mild one.
The road has been covered with crush
ed stone from cemetery hill oyer to the
church, or nearly there, in the east part
of the town. 1t seems a pity that it
could not have been put farther on-as
far as the post-office-as that is always
a bad piece of road in the spring and
fall /: but we will hope for more improve
ments and try to be thankful for all the
favors we have had.

THE MITYLENE INCIDENT.

When the news was received that the
landing of British naval forces at Sigri,
Mitylene Island, was of no international
importance but merely to exercise the
men, the RECORD UNION expressed its
non-belief in the explanation, and added
that back of the incident would be found
a well-defned purpose, probably that of
cowing the Porte, by showing the Sultan
how easily England could secure an in
dependent footing in the archipelago as a
base from which to conduct military
operations. The more recent advices
now establish that the incident was pur-
poseful, not a mere picnic of naval
officers; that it was intended as broad
hint to Turkey; that the landing was
made under direct orders from the Eng
lish Government to the Admiral of the
British fleet. But Sir William White
was not informed of the matter officially,
and this very fact goes to prove that the
fleet officers acted with far-seeing pur-
pose and with the intention of giving
Turkey an object lesson, which reads that
Great Britain will not permit Russia and
Turkey TO so cooperate as to give the
control of the Dardanelles to the former.
The route to India is to be preserved as it
now is.

De Long Fiord. Only three men will
make the extreme northern trip, and
Mr.. Peary is to be one of them. No dogs
will be taken, but each man will draw a
sledge with load of 200 pounds. They
will keep away from the coast and stick
to the inland ice in places mile or two
thick, and cut by chasms of interminable
depths.
If the party is not picked up by
whalers, on the return of the north land
three, it will take to the two whale boats
and endeavor to reach Upernavik and
trust to luck to get thence to Copenhagen.
If no ships appear at Upernavik, the
party will push south to Ivigtut and
come to Philadelphia in one of the cry
olite ships plying to that point. The
officers and crew of the Kite are open in
expression of belief that Peary and his
men will never be able to retreat across
Melville Bay, especially with Mrs.
Peary as one of the group. Even Peary
approves of the suggestion that the
Academy people next year get up party
of northern scientific research, charter
the Kite anew and relieve Peary at
Mccormick Bay as an incident of the
trip.
We have not looked upon this Peary
expedition as feasible. 1t appears, in
deed, to be a reckless experiment. In
1886 Peary, it is true, made successful
one-hundred trip into the interior
of Greenland, and did add considerably
to scientific knowledge as a result On
this occasion his hope is to locate the
most northern land in Greenland, and
possibly determine if there is open water
beyond in the direction of the pole. But
it may well be doubted if he has not in
vited i'll chance by the small number in
his party, and by the incumbrance of
his wife. He expected to find at Me-
Cormick Bay game in plenty. But none
He made no provision for fuel, expecting
to use animal oils; but he may be unable
to take them for long time So serious
was his error in this matter of fuel that
Captain Pike gave up to him six tons of
coal from the lockers of the Kite, though
he put the ship in danger by doing so, as
his supply was short at best. The
Academy of Sciences at Philadelphia is
very angry about the matter, and con-
denim the Kite party for leaving Peary
in his ill-supplied condition and with
boats not equal to the task of a drag over
two hundred miles of ice-fields.
If the little party of exploration ever
returns to civilization in it's entirety it
will be an event exceeding our expecta-
ton. Lives enough have been sacrificed
in polar expeditions, and not sufficient has
been added to the sum of human knowl-
edge to compensate for the suffering and
loss. Yet we must expect the indie
tatigable spirit of exploration, and the
devotion of scientists to continue to pro-
ject these enterprises, and to confront
problems of the north that appear to defy
solution.

BALMACEDA,

Balmaceda, the ex-President of the
Chilean Republic, committed suicide at
Santiago, the Capital of Chile, on Saturday
morning. While self-murder cannot at any
time, or under any circumstances, be ap-
proved, yet the general opinion in Chile,
as reported in the press dispatches, is that
the Dictator save the country great deal
of trouble by his act, and that he did pre-
cisely the right thing in taking his own
life
The Chileans are, of course, at liberty
to entertain what opinion they please
concerning the affair, but other people
cannot afford to approve his self-murder
Unquestionably, had Balmaceda been
taken by the Junta, death, and an igno-
minious one, would have been his fate.
He saved himself, therefore, from the
halter or the bullet of the soldier, and to
the extent one is justified in escaping dis
graceful death, his action may be char
itably spared denunciation.
OF Lue courageous man, Dol16Vlng as
Balmaceda says in letters he left explain
ing why he killed himself, that he was
right, and that he had acted for the high
est, best interests Of his country, ought,
If unable to escape his pursuers, to have
met his fate bravely, have faced his ac-
cusers, and have put upon them the onus
of taking his life. For all self-murder is
cowardly; the suicide in sanity is cow
ard, morally a poltroon, and hence it is
that the law and the world in charity as
sumes that the suicide is mentally un-
balanced when he lifts his hand against
himself; they mercifully presume him to
be insane, and thus mantle crime with the
cloak of a broad charity. But as matter
of fact not all suicides are insane; many
of them contemplate the act with perfect
mental equipoise and carry it out with all
the deiberation and effectiveness of
method possible to sanity. Balmaceda
was not insane; he dreaded trial and exc
cution, the ignominy of death upon the
scaffold, and put his native courage be-
meath these considerations.

What Was the Danc,ng Mani. .

The dancing mania was a singular
nervous affection which pervaded Ger
many in the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries. 1t first appeared in the vicin-
ity of AK la Chapelle about the year 1874.
Numbers were affected at the same time,
and would join hands, sing and dance
with all their might until they would fall
to the ground exhausted. It was un-
doubtedly disease similar in character
to the st. Vitus dance, the jerks and other
nervous epidemic disorders. It was be-
yond the control of the sufferers, and
rapidly spread TO all parts of Germany,
and thence to France and Italy. The au-
thorities of the Rhenish towns and of the
cities in the Netherlands resorted to force
to suppress it, and at various times dam
GERS were imprisoned, whipped and even
tortured to compel a cessation of the
dance. All was in vain, however. The
mania ran its course and gradually died
away. During the bloodiest days of the
French Revolution dancing mania ap-
peared, and to the music and words of
the Carmagnole many hundreds of the
Partisan mob were sometimes seen dane
ing at once.
