Vermont Press Association.

The Vermont press association has again
made an exhibition of its impotency, and
demonstrated that as at present supported
it has no good reason for existence. Out
of IS or 100 possible attendants bare 15
met at the Pavilion in Montpelier Thurs
day. Instead Of taking day or two days
for business, deliberation and pleasure the
association met at 4 o'clock in the after
noon and adjourned sine die before supper
time. The report says that ''topics were
discussed informally" The marvel is that
after deducting time for a hotly contested
election Of officers there was time left for a
discussion" OF any character. So far as
unanimity of action or opinion goes Yer
mont newspaper men are much like Yer
mont farmers.
This association after a lengthy and tire
some session of two hours, adjourned with
out even sitting down to a banquet, and
when any association even of only Is men,
bers, is so Indifferent to what is eminently
proper it must be in a very bad way.

Gen. Nelson A. Miles.

Gen. Miles, recently raised to the rank
OF major general commanding the army ol
the United States, has had remarkable
and eventful lite. He is the first man who
has attained to that rank who was not a
graduate of West Point.
Leaving the dry goods counter at the
commencement of the war at the age of 2l
he was commissioned lieutenant, serving
with distinction and rapidly promoted for
gallant service till at the close of the wal
he held the commission of major-general.
He was transferred directly to the regu-
lar army with the rank of colonel and was
soon ordered to service in the Indian coun-
try, where the savages had become very
troublesome. The tragic death of the
brave Custer and the annihilation Of his
gallant band will be remembered. Gen.
Miles service in Indian fighting has been
of the most stirring character, and his ac-
count of it is of absorbing interest.
He has recently written book called
his Personal Experiences" which pre-
sents vivid picture of the remarkable
events in, which he has been so prominent
a figure, with copious and excellent Illus
trations by Frederick Remington and other
famous artists, with portraits OF noted gen
erals, Indians, battle scenes, wonderful
scenery of the west, etc.
Messrs Balch Bros Boston, handle the
book in New England and desire agents in
every town to canvass tor it. We have
seen the book; it is first-class in every re-
spect, and the firm is thoroughly reliable,
and men or women desiring employment
will do well to correspond with them
