ESSAY ON HENS.

On the subject othens boy writes:
Hens is curious animals. They
don't have no nose, nor no teeth,
nor no ears. They swallow their
whites whole and chew it up in
their crops inside of 'em. The out
side of hens is generally put inter pill
lers and inter feather busters. The
inside of hen is sometimes filled
with marbles and shirt buttons and
such. A hen is very much smaller
than a good many other animals.
but they'll dig up more cabbage
plants than anything that amt a
hen. Hens is very useful to lay eggs
for plum buildings. Skinny Bates
eat SO much plum pudding once that
it sent him inter the collery. Hens
has got wings and can fly when they
get scarf. l cut Uncle Williams
hens head off with hatchet, and it
scarf her to death. Hens sometimes
make very fine spring chickens.

FLORIDA'S DISGRACE.

1t was only nine minute affair
the prize fght-but that was long
enough to thoroughly disgrace the
state of Florida. Gov. Mitchell has
talked well for some time past, and
no doubt meant to interfere and pre-
vent this brutal performance-a la
mentable feature of which is that
only one of the contestants was
knocked out. But the supreme court
seems to have been a bigger man
than the governor, and granted an
injunction against him, thus allow
ing the fight to go on. The more's
the pity because the highest tribunal
in the state could not, or did not,
find a way to endorse the executive
and save the commonw wealth from
this disgrace.
The fight was farce-a barbarous
one at that-and should never have
been permitted. The action of the
supreme court will not have whole
some effect, setting as it does pre-
MUM on that sort of sport. There
is something the matter with Flori-
da's constitution, and the remedy
should be applied at once, before she
becomes a rendezvous for sluggers
and punchers. 1t is to be regretted
that Gov Mitchell and the supreme
court were so far apart on this
question.

VERMONT NEWSPAPER NOTES.

The Refcrmer Publishing Company
of Brattleboro is being turned into a
stock company, with capital stock
of $4,000. Editor c. H. Daven-
port will be president of the COM
pany. The Reformer is a staunch de
fender of progressive democracy in
Vermont and has wide influence.
The Brandon Union has been sue
ceeded by the Brandon Chronicle, a
handsome eight-page paper printed
on Hoe cylinder press. The Chronicle
announces that it will be independent
in it's politics. The first number is a
very creditable one and the Chronicle
bids fair to be valuable addition to
Vermont journalism.
Editor w. H. Bishop has passed
the 10th annual milestone with the
Island Pond Herald and may take
pride in the fact that his paper has
contributed to the ma terial welfare
of Essex county in these years. Mr.
Bishops friends in the craft and his
friends in St. Johnsbury wish him
continued prosperity.

4 HOME MARKET.

At a recent meeting of the State
Board of Agriculture Mr.. Vail spoke
concerning home market for Yer
mont farmers. He held that many
of the farmers are so situated that
they can find for themselves mar
ket for the products of their farms.
and suggested that they did not
score as many successes in this line
as they might. He emphasized the
extent to which the cultivation OF
small fruits, vegetables, eggs and
poultry could be proftably carried
on, and limited at trout-breeding also
as a satisfactory source of revenue,
where the farm premises included a
pond or facilities for putting one in.
Mr. Davis point is an excellent
one, but the absence in too many
of the larger towns in the state of a
genuine market place" interferes
seriously with the practical carrying
out of the plan suggested. In Gale
donia county, for instance, a consid-
cradle amount of butter, poultry and
eggs is shipped by the farmers to
down country markets which might
be readily disposed of for the So
called home market if there was, say
in St. Johnsbury, a general market
place to which not only the articles
named above, but the small fruits
and vegetables, could be brought in
amount sufficient to meet the de-
mand for home consumption. The
farmers at present find some diff
Guilty in selling these things to local
dealers in any quantity, and SO look
to down country markets for their
revenue.
We believe that the esta blishment
in St. Johnsbury of a general market
place would prove an excellent thing
for both the farmer and the consumer
-inciting the former to a careful cul-
tivation of what is needed, and
guaranteeing the latter a reliable
supply of the necessaries of life for
which the farm or garden alone must
be depended on.

THE PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED.

1t has been made clear every day
for some time past that this pro-
posed tinkering of the tariff by the
democratic congress was not merely
a committee matter, or even a house
or senate matter, but a peoples
matter, and one in which they are
deeply interested. Petitions and
protests have been pouring in from
all quarters, with a view to making
plain to the ways and means com
mittee and to the representa- tives in
congress what was demanded along
certain lines of industry. The Rut-
land Herald thus refers to the way
in which the people have been heard
from:
"Take January IL, for instance. On
that day there were left in the petition
box of the house, according to its rules,
SO protests against either the whole or
parts of the Wilson bill. Of these, six
were signed by manufacturers of wool
ems, three by silk weavers, two by build
ers OF locomotives, four by manufactur-
ers of toys, six by sneters OF iron ore,
one by canning establishment, one by
manufacturer OF pencils, three by cot
ton spinners, two by masters, four by
upholsterers of furniture-in all 80 petit
tions. But these petitions are only those
which protested against certain provi-
sions in the bill. Not less than 81 were
received which condemned the bill as a
whole. Among these latter was one
signed by 5000 employees of different
mills at Passaic, in New Jersey. Twenty
two petitions were sent in by farmers
engaged in the raising of tobacco"
