CHINESE IN VERMONT.

May 4th is the last day of grace for
Cinnamon to register and leave their
photographs with Deputy Collector Of
Internal Revenue, c. S. Forbes. It the
law is not complied with they are to be
summarily sent out of the country.
Deputy Collector Forbes has notified
personally, every Chinamsn in Vermont
and the Celestials number %, not one
of them having yet obeyed Uncle Sans
dictum.
The fact is, the Chinese secret societies
have passed the word around not to obey
the law, and when its enforcement is at
tempted to resist it in the courts, and
fight to have it declared unconstitutiOn-
al. They have doubtless had good legal
advice on this point, and will quite likely
make very pretty legal contest until a
decision on the matter is secured from
the United States Supreme Court.
They all understand the law perfectly
but they think it will not be enforced, so
every pig tailed mothers son of them
will have to be brought into court, tried
and sentenced to thirty days in jail, and
then carted across the country to San
Francisco and shipped to China, if the
law is to be enforced.

that more determined efforts to identify
the incendiaries would have wholesome
effect in preventing the crime of arson.
The lack of available funds to meet the
necessary expense is usually accountable
for the failure of authorities to prose-
cute the search for incendiaries to sue
cessful finish, and this consideration sug-
gests practical way in which to render
the detection of fire fiends more certain.
1t would be entirely proper for the State
Legislature to pass law providing for
the payment of reward for the appre-
hension of an incendiary so liberal that
good detective talent would be induced
to undertake this work whenever oppor-
tunity presented; and the fire insurance
companies doing business in the State
would undoubtedly be glad to pay an
equitable portion of such reward.
The people of the State could we'll
afford to bear the slight expense which
this step would involve, in view of the
increased protection and feeling of Sc
curity they would enjoy, as well as the
lower rates for insurance which ought to
follow, aud the insurance companies
could, as matter of fact, we'll afford to
contribute large sum, if necessary, for
the purpose of diminishing the crime OF
arson, which is becoming so alarmingly
prevalent and 80 expensive to insurance
companies as we'll as to property holders.
A few successful prosecutions and leaVy
sentences for this crime would have q
wholesome effect, and it is high time
that more strigent measures were taken
to guard human life, as well as public
and private property, against the des-
tructiye torch of the incendiary.

INCENDIARY FIRES.

Some of Vermsnt's most destructive
fires have resulted from the goulish acts
of incendiaTies, and fresh instance is
now furnished by the fire which destroy
ed the Banner newspaper Office and other
property at Bennington. Whether there
Is any more effective means of detecting
and bringing to punishment the perpe-
traitors of this tiendish class of crimes
than are now employed is q question
which should demand the attention of
property holders as well as insurance
companies. Owing to the favorable con-
ditions under which the incendiary oper-
ates he is usually able to screen himself
SUCCESSFULLY. A match is the only tool
necessary, and partially consumed Lu-
offer is = very inadequate means of iden-
LITIGATION OF a human fire bug. This fact
and the protection which the darkness
affords for the commission of the crime
of arson makes it very difficult to obtain
= clue to the offender.
These conditions undoubtedly account
for the fact that, in great majority of
cases of incendiarism, the auth ,rities Of
the towns, villages or cities make little,
if any, effort to investigate the matter
further after it has been practically set.
tied that the fire was of incendiary ORR
gin. This is just the point where they
should Tedouble their efforts and leave
nothing undone to ferret out the identity
of the incendiary and bring the offender
to justice as a measure of safety and pro-
lection to the general public. The incen-
diary not only destroys property and inn
perils lives of occupants of buildings
and OF those who attempt to extinguish
the flames kindled by his hand, but his
depredatiUns add to the expense of every
man who carries fire insurance on his
property The liability of buildings to
destruction by incendiary fires is one of
the important elements taken into con-
sideratiOn by insurance companies in es-
tablishing rates for risks, and an increase
of premium is the price which every
man whose buildings are insured pays
for the privilege which the incendiary
takes to himself.
1t is for the interest of property hold
ers in general, therefore, that some
means be instituted TO further diminish
the number of incendiary fires aud steps
toward this end be taken. There is an
interest d motive for the commission of
this crime except in the comparatively
few cases where persons have a mania
for ap lying the torch to buildings for
the sake of seeing a conilagTation, and
there is an opportunity for the sharpest
kind Of detective work in this direction.
The crime Of arson is not committed in
the heat Of passion like the striking Of a
deadly blow, or the firing of fatal PTS
tol shot. 1t is invariably the act Of pre-
meditation, and this fact not only sRg-
gests clue in the shape Of motive in
cases of incendiarism, but it also indi-
dates the probability, ifnot the certainty

some Old vermont Postma.rers.

There has been remarkable develop
ment in the postoffice department within
the memory of the present generation
and even the past decade has witnessed
wonderful changes in the mail service.
No one outside of the service itself can
have any adequate comprehension of the
extent of these improvements, however,
unless he has devoted considerable study
to the subject and, until the present
time there have been very inadequate ia
cilities for any investigation of this kind
outside of the Department itself. A
work has just been published, however,
which is admirably calculated to supply
this deficiency by Marshall Gushing pri-
vate secretary to -Postmaster-G General
Wanamaker. This book is entitled 1.-THE
Story of Our POstOfiice." and to a com
plete description of all branches of the
postoffice department it adds a generous
supply of illustrations. The story is
told in very attractive manner and the
subject is made much more Interesting
than the average reader would suppose
was possible, the most romantic as well
as the more practical features of the
postoffice work being presented in an at
tractive form.
The chapter Of this work devoted to
sketches and illustrations of 1.-THE Oldest
PostmasUers,' will be of especial interest
to Vermonters, on account Of its refer
ence to the veterans in the service in
this State. The paragraph devoted TO
Postmaster Withheld Of Vernon is as fol
lows:
Addison Withheld has been postmas-
ter at Vernon, VT, since February Goth,
1860. He was a clerk in the Vernon post
ofice though, for fifteen years before
that, as his father ksptit.

Lutte Hitchcock, of Milton, went to
stack of straw last Saturday night to
get some bedding for his stock, and, in
doing so, uncovered the legs of a man.
He got help and took him to the house.
Both of the mans feet were frozen
nearly to the knees. They placed them
in a tub of cold water for nearly six
hours before they could get his shoes of.
The man claimed TO be tuner of pianos
and organs. He was well dressed, about
forty years old, claimed to be from Ohio,
bad no money, walked from Swanton
Friday night and crawled into the straw
in the early morning, went TO sleep and
slept until found. He gave his name as

Another veteran in the service in this
State, according to this work, is ]. C.
Spencer, postmaster at East Clarendon,
who first saw service in 1852, when he
was assistant postmaster. He went out
under Buchanan, but he was placed in
full charge of the Office by Montgomery
Blair in 1861. Other old postmasters in
this State mentioned are c. B. Williams
of Bondville, who was appointed Dec,
