WAR SONGS OF 1875.
BALLADS SUNG BY THE HEROES OF
THE REVOLUTION.

Quaint Literature of the Days Of WASH

"The Battle of the Kegs" Popular
Ditty-A Tribute To the Ladies'.
In these comfortable times, when the cell
ebration of Independence day comes as
matter of course, with Its outburst OF ma
tional loyalty, one Is at loss TO realize
how differently the Fourth OF July was
celebrated by the heroes OF the Revolution.
For them there were no grand parades,
with brilliant uniforms. If the truth must
DO told, they were sadly bedraggled lot,
with their old matchbox guns and go-as-
you please apparel. For them there was
no Joyous booming of cannon. There was
little Joy In the sound of artillery then and
no powder to be wasted in mere noise
Perhaps the strangest thought of oil is
that the heroes of the Revolution had
neither our national fag-for the various
flags of the various states were waved in
stead-nor our national songs 1t was for
succeeding generations TO enjoy the inspir-
ing strains of the Star Spangled Ban.
ner, F" my Country, lis of Thee, " and
columbia, the Gem of the Ocean" Quite
different and very much inferior from q
poetic standpoint were the songs which
they sang in celebrating their successes OF
consoling themselves in defeat. These Rev
olutionary songs however, bad or good,
grave or CAV, have special interest from
the fact that they were composed in thu
main by the soldier boys themselves offer

in lusty chorus by hundreds of brave fel

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.

The very full preliminary statement
of it's operations for the past fiscal
year which the Boston and Maine
Railroad has just issued in an inter-
esting document for two reasons, il
no others. In the first place it is a
suggestive evidence of the revival of
business and confidence in the man
ufacturing centers of Northern New
England. The Boston and Maine con-
stitutes the principal outlet of those
centers to the markets of the country.
It's earnings rise or fall with their in
dustrial activity. The fact, therefore,
that for the past year there was gath
in gross business of 1890, 900, or nearly
81 per cent, shows that the business
tide in it's territory has not only turn
ed, but has moved largely upward.
This last is further evidenced by the
other fact that upward of third of
this increased business fell within the
months of April, May and June, the
last quarter of the year, thereby in
dicating the acclelerating forward
movement.
The second point is the admirable
way i'll which the present manage
ment is using the profits from this in
creased business for the permanent
betterment of its service. OF it's en-
larged receipts, 1896, 900, or quite 90
per cent, has been turned back into
the Improvement of it's roadbed, sta
tions and the enlargement of it's
equipment. Those who have had oc-
casion to ride over any of it's lines
this season cannot fail to have noted
the attention which has been given to
the perfection of it's facilities and SER
vice. Indirectly, of course, this all
makes for the permanent value of the
property and so is to the direct inter
est of it's owners. But the more i'm
mediate gamers are the public which
is benefited by all these improve
ments. This policy of sharing its
growing fortunes with the public is
one that will certainly commend itself
to Northern New England.

LIMITING OCEAN SPEED.

At a time when Great Britain and
this country are making every effort
to secure greater speed in their ma
val and merchant marine it sounds
strange to learn that in France they
are seriously proposing to put an end
to ocean racing.
That part of the international reg
ulations OF 1888 limiting the speed of
vessels has always been a dead letter
owing to the lack of penalties for it's
violation. The new bill now being
prepared under direction of the
French Admiralty provides heavy
penalties for any excess of speed
above the limit, even for the shortest
period.
Such legislation ought to be futile,
as it certainly is unwise. There is no
special dangerin twenty knot speed,
which is proposed as the limit, and no
reason except the fascination of round
numbers in making that the limit,
rather than nineteen or eighteen
knots. For the present the limit of
speed in passenger steamers seems to
have been reached in the Lucania and
the Campania. The problem is to de-
ternine whether the increased cost of
such speed does not render it unde-
sirable, and this is a question which
can safely be left to the steamship
companies to settle. They are not
taking any unnecessary risks with
vessels worth millions of dollars and
involving the safety of thousands of
lives. And they probably know their
business better than the French Ad-
miralty does.

THE HARVEST.

This is to be a great year of har-
vests. The government report for
August indicates return of 2. 900, 900, :
600 bushels of corn, figures so stupen-
dous in their aggregate as to stagger
comprehension. That is more than
twice the amount raised last year, and
quite four hundred million bushels
beyond the premium crop of any pre-
vious year. All presidents give way
before the coming of the golden
stream of 1895.
The banner harvest heretofore was
in 1889, when 1922, 900, 600 bushels
were realized. The corn area of that
year covered 1888, 900 acres, while
this year it takes in 100000. Such
comparisons indicate how much SUI
perior are the harvests of this season
over any other.
The corn production for 1890 was
valued at 1854 ABB, 451 and in 1892,
when the yield was 1900, 154, 900 bush
els, the value was S642, LAG, $50 at the
rate of 36 cents bushel. This year
the estimate of $500, 900 bushels
based on an average selling price OF
80 cents bushel, and in this single
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1895-08-26

cereal alone the farmers have a re
turn of $3.50, 900, 900, even at that low
price.
The Government report also shows
a great improvement in the condition
of spring wheat, the percentage being
$50, against 81. in 1894 Oats and po-
tatoes also show higher percentage.
The only important crops which indi-
cate shortage compared with last
years are cotton and hay. The av-
erage condition of the former in IA
per cent. lower and the latter per
cent.
Two important conclusions are
drawn from these figures by the Pitts
burg Chronicle Telegraph. The first
is that breadstuffs will be cheaper, and
cotton-one of our chief articles of
export-will be dearer. The second is
that the bountiful yield Of corn in
those states which are tainted with
the free silver heresy will be effective
in eradication the craze. Last year
the condition of the crop in Missouri
was 80, against 115 now, in Kansas 40,
against go; in Iowa 45, against 1O7,
and in Nebraska SO, against rs today.
The farmers in those States last year
had plenty of time to read the free
coinage literature which was shower
ed upon them. This year the husking
bee will give them more congenial
and profitable employment.-Bu rling-

OF MATTERS ORIENTAL.

The international complications Of
the Orient are almost as attractive
now as they were six months ago.
Diplomacy has but slightly dulled the
edge of Japan's enmity to China, nor
have the opportunities of Viceroy or
mandarin quelled the turbulency of
the Formosan rebels. Russia has
seemingly forgotten the episodes
which excited her anger at the termi-
nation of the recent war Her war
ships no longer hover threateningly
about the harbors of the Sea of Japan,
nor are her emissaries encamped near
the mountains which separate her
Asiatic colony from the Chinese En-
pire.
This peacefulness, however, is SUI
perfcial The great trans Siberian
railroad now stretches as far as Omsk
which is distant 22OO miles from Ed
ropean borderland; and its extension
to the waters of the far East is pursu
ing theoretically. Those who are
versed in the affairs of the antipodes
look upon the progress of this rail
road as OMNIBUS. They, judging by
the history of the past, are sure that
Russia, Notwithstanding her protes-
tations of Indifference and disinteret-
edness, is ambitious beyond all self
restraint. More than once she has
evinced her uncontrolled desire to
possess the dominant power in Asia's
Eastern mainland. She would if she
could, they say, control China as
England controls India. With this
military road along Siberia's southern
frontier, and with an ever open port
in the waters to the east of it, she
could, if unopposed, subjugate the
whole midland in one vigorous cam
paign, and then over it place her gov
errors, as Great Britain has done in
the southern peninsula. But, though
she may. distribute her troops along
the Chinese boundaries, just as she
distributed them near the Than Shan
Mountains few years ago, she can
hardly expect to act according to her
desires. Already she has perceived a
show of British envy which intimidat-
ed her former expeditions. Nor will
France countenance any inexcusable
foreign acquisition of China's territory
for she, like England, has interests
therein.
