Negroes Yearning fer Africa.

We are informed through the agency
address before the Liverpool Geograph-
ical society On the subject of England
and the Black Race" DR.. Blyden, the
minister plenipotentiary from Liberia,
declared that what is needed to push
civilization into the interior is the Libe-
rian method of importing civilized
negroes from the United States and the
West Indies, and the plantation of set
Elements upon the coast and in the in
terror. These negro farmers, he said,
would take up lands, push out among
the natives, and set the example of i'm
proved mechanical and agricultural
operations. The natives would then
soon follow the example of the settlers
in house building, road and bridge
making, farming and school and church
going, and without friction or violence
fall into paths of civilized life.
DIR. Blyden declares that there are at
this moment more than one million
negroes in the United States who are
anxious to return to their fatherland.
But because there are conflicting utter

government does not see its way to as
sist those who wish to enigrate, fearing
that it might seem they were trying to

derstand the strong desire of the south
ern state negroes to return, and even in
America there is but little recognition
of that strong feeling.

Character in the Hair.

It is said that Chicago hotell1eeper
declares that he can invariably tell
what a woman's character is by her
hair. He claims that the finer the hair
the gentler the birth, and that the
closer the ends naturally cling together
the more intellectually does the owner
possess. He says he has found that
where the hair tends to curl the owner
has inherent grace and poetic ease of
body; that straight, unyielding hair
shows a positive nature, and that
treachery and jealousy are indicated by
1usterless or dead black hair. When
the hair is broken or split he says it
indicates an unbalanced character, and
the lighter the hair the more sensitive
and ''touchy' the owner. Brown hair,
this man who claims that his asser-
tons have been verified by the OBJ
servation of years asserts, means good
Judgment and common sense, and red
hair, while indicating that It's owner is
likely to be highly iTnpulsive and quick
spoken, yet shows that its possessor is
honest and sensible and as general
rule bright and gentle.

A Water Fact.

From the Vermont Waterman is taken the
following which may furnish hint for
guidance in future action on the water sys-
TEN in this town. "When MOntpelier's
splendid system of water works was COM
peted, NJ. w. Wheelock was the first to
bring to the notice of the users of power the
economy and desirability of the water motor.
In short time the motor displaced every
steam engine in use. New industries began
to spring up, called into existence by the fact
that there had been provided a cheap, safe
and effective motive power that could he en-
ployed anywhere il building or outside. At
the present time, if we are correctly in
formed, there are now connected with the
Montpelier water-works nearly fifty motors,
and the capacity of the mains and the reser-
voirs is equal to still further demands

Astronomical Filtration.

Local star gaZers had an excellent oppor-
tunity to see Irritation between jupiter and
Venus lasting several evenings last week,
and finishing Saturday morning after it was
too late to be seen from this hemisphere
Friday evening the two planets looked
like. brilliant double star, but in
reality Jupiter was more than 400, 0OO,-
600 miles farther away than Venus. 1t was
a transit Of Venus across Jupiter's face and
was caused by Venus, in swinging around
its orbit coming almost exactly in the line of
sight from the earth to Jupiter, which is
nearly 400 times as large as Venus, and if
they were placed side by side Jupiter would
be at least 100 times as large as Venus. The
two types of planets were represented in
conjunction, the terrestrial type, whiah has
the outer crust and supports life, represented
by Venus and Jupiter, representing the
formative planet, the Jovian group, in which
the masses of matter have not yet cooled so
as to have permanent form: Astronomers
watched the conjunction with more than
ordinary interest, for it is rare that two
planets of so widely varying distances ever
come into conjunction. The clear sky here
gave all our people opportunity to see a
magnificent spectacle.

King OF the Giant Lottery Which Will Elk
pire In 1904

King Of the Giant Lottery Which Will Ex-
pire In 1894.
The announcement of John A. Morris
that the lottery would not accept a re-
newal of their charter created sensation
in the Bayou state. When the anti-lot-
terry faction, headed by Governor Mich
OILS, had recovered from the surprise into
which they had been thrown by this I'M
expected change of front, they denounced
the declaration as ruse to entrap them
into support of McEnery, the lottery
candidate as the next governor of the
state. Each faction is procuring guns
and preparing to enforce its demands by
arms, if they fail at the polls. This fight
against the giant lottery. whose charter
expires in 1894, brings John A. Morris,
whose profits from that concern last year
reached So 900, 900, into an unwished-for
prominence. Mr.. Morris is very sue
cessful sportsman, and his running stable
is one of the best in the country, as is
evident from his capture the other day
of two-year-old stakes worth $4,000.
His home is at Throgg's Neck, near New
York city, and few years ago some
curiosity was aroused by Mrs. Morris
erecting $4,000 cottage to accommo-
date her husband, whose stentorian
shores arouse the night. Last year Mr..
Morris opened the Mount Morris race
track, at Westminster, N. Y, feature
of which was his racing stable.

SORENESS IN KEENE.

why Our Sister Town in New Hampshire
Feels Injured.
The transfer of the Cheshire road to the
management of the Fitchburg company
caused many misgivings in Keene, below the
surface, though the apparent rejoicing was
warm enough. Hitherto Keene had been
division headquarters and all the repair and
building shops, with their compliments of
men, were located there, giving good num-
Der of men with their families to the city.
keene, of course, was pleased, as any town
would be, which was deriving profit from
business of greater or less proportions. 1t
hoped in one way or another to increase that
business and add to its business enterprises
in that way.
The change i'm railroad matters put diff
ferent face on that, however. instead of an
increase in business the first move was to
change the general offices to a location more
convenient for the economical transaction of
the business. Bellows Falls gained slightly
by tn t. The next change was the discharge,
without notice, of most of the men employed
i'm the wood shops. They left town, or most
of them did. Some have come this way and
all Fitchburg freight ears needing repairs in
transit are repaired here, and eight or more
men are employed in the work. rrainmen
have been moved here, as many as IL families
having come to town in the past year. The
trainmaster now has his headquarters in the
yards over the river, and the train dispatcher
has been moved to Fitchburg. That leaves
only the machine and locomotive repair
shops at Keene.
For some weeks story has been floating
among those most likely to know, to the
effect that the machine shops would be
moved here, too. SO much was said about IL
that President Marcy was asked, but said
that the company had no intention of doing
so. The feeling is, however, strong in keene
that it will be done sooner or later and an
attempt has already been made to start a
boycott movement among those who have
freight, the scheme being to turn the freight
all into the other roads, leaving the Fitch
burg without its due share. That move
clearly indicates feeling that the city is to

VITAL STATISTICS.

Record of Births and Deaths In District No.
for 1891.
The following tables give 1.-THE births and
deaths in district No. for the year just past.
The total for the gear is II births and 52
deaths, an increase of seven births over 1890,
and is deaths. The cause Of death was given
a short time ago in the summary of the village
report and it is not necessary to repeat 1t
here. The death rate, 1t will be seen. is about
~ and One-haf to the thousand, or almost six
below the average for the country at large.
Bellows Falls thus maintains its reputation
as healthful town, being more healthful
than the ordinary, even in these times of so
much sickness. Those who contemplate
moving into a town will do well to scan the
vital list below with some care and compare
1t with that of other towns around.

Bellows Falls may or may not profit by the

strong reasons for thinking it will, and 1t is

A very gloomy picture of the flnan.
ces OF the Australasian colonies is
drawn in the Investors Review.
Fifteen years ago these seven States
had population of 2, 400 900, and a
public debt of f70, 900, 900. To-day
their population is notQuite 4, 900, 900
while their debt is nearly f2O0, O0O,-
900. But in addition to the debt
OF the States the Review con-
tends there should be reckoned the
debt of municipalities and other
corporations, so far as it is held
abroad, as well as British deposits in
lColonial Banks. Including indebted
ness of this kind, the total is made to
Fbe f2S0, 600, 900, or f2S0 per family
OF four persons; nothing approaching
which is to be found elsewhere. 1t
is admitted that this debt is to a
great extent represented by product
i've works, but, in spite Of the revenue
derived from these, the rate of tax
alton in 1890 was over 93 per head,
los more than the average of both
local and imperial taxation IN the
United Kingdom.
