THE BERMUDA SEIZED.

The filibustering steamer Bermuda
has been seized at Puerto Cortez by
the Honduras government with all
the munitions of war aboard, with
which she sailed from New York for
Cuba. The vessel is being closely
guarded, awaiting the arrival of the
Spanish agents, who have been sent
to Honduras with evidence to have
the steamer condemned as contra
band of war
Capt. O'Brien and the crew of the
vessel are known to be aboard, buu
the whereabouts of Gen. Calixto Gar
cia and the 40 men who went out on
the steamer are in doubt. 1t is said
that there has been treachery some
where, and that the exact destination
off the Cuban coast of the Bermuda
was known to the Spanish officials in
this country, and that Capt. Gen.
Weyler was fully informed of the
place where an attempt would be
made to land the cargo of the vessel.
At any rate the attempt to land was
failure. The attempt was made at
night near Cape Correntes. The Ber
muda was showing no light and pre-
paratiOn had been made for the land
ing. Suddenly several Spanish gun
boats were sighted bearing down up
on the Bermuda. They also had con-
cealed their light and were close at
hand when seen. The Bermuda es
capped.
Garcia and his men may have
landed at this time before a start was
made to land the war material.

We observe. the name of Hon.Victor
I. Spear of Braintee is mentioned in
connection with that of delegate to
the st. Louis convention. Mr.. Spear,
besides being one of the level headed
men of Vermont, is practical farm
er and thoroughly in touch with all
the interests of our State. He would
make a capital delegate, and inasmuch
as he is the only farmer mentioned he
ought to be given place upon the
delegation. Another name which has
received considerable attention in this
direction and is meeting with much
favor throughout the first district, is
that of p. K. Gleed of Morrisville.
Everybody knows that whatever 'P.
K" does, he does well, and also that
if he should be sent to ST. Louis the
entire people of Vermont and their
best interests would be most excel
lently served by him. Mr. Gleed
makes no mistakes and the people
could depend on him to do what was
best for the State at that great gath
ering. and Citizen.

"TURN.S'' AND "RINGS.n

The balderdash about 9turns" and
"rings'' which the Waterman and the
Rutland Herald are serving so con-
stantly to their readers, must be get
ting pretty tiresome to the latter.
They are not fools, and it must have
occurred to most of them that jump
ing up and down and beating the air
with a phrase, is not arguments; and
that the man who conducts his side
of discussion in that way is always
the man who is at loss for facts and
who is getting the worst of the argu-
ment. OF course if there have been
any trades, bargains, agreement or
arrangements in regard to "turns'' in
the Office of governor, the men who
have profited by them must know
about them. Do the Herald and Watch
man undertake to assert that Gov
Page secured his nomination through
an agreement with Col. Woodbury.
that the latter should succeed him?
Do they mean to say that Gov. Wood
bury secured his nomination through
an agreement with Maj. circuit, that
the Major should be the next COVER
nor? To ask these questions is to
show the absurdity of the talk which
is the main stock in the trade Of these
and several other papers, in the pres
ent canvass. They insult their read
ers by assertions which presume that
the Vermont voters lack political in
telligence, and have no memory or
knowledge OF recent gubernatorial
canvasses.
The talk about sthe ring'' on the
part of Maj CIRCUITS opponents, is as
groundless as the idea that he is ex-
pecting support or that any friend of
his is claiming favor for him, on the
ground that his prearranged "turn"
has come. None of his supporters have
said anything about turns; and he is
no more the candidate of ring, or
the ring, if any one prefers the de-
finite article, than Mr.. Stickney.
There is simply nothing of it; and the
mock mortified talk about it is pure
poppycOck.-FreeP Press.

REDEMPTION OF THE PLAINS.

The two questions involved in the
irrigation of the plains uplands are
now practically answered in the af-
frmative. Can water be lifted 200 ft.
at so low cost that it will pay to ir
rigate with it from that depth? and
is there water enough below the sur
face to irrigate any proper proper
ton of the large area Of the semi arid
uplands? Saying ''yes" to both these
queries,it may also be said that where
water is even at greater depths enough
may be raised with comparatively
small expense to irrigate SO much
land as in dry years will be a material
addition to the means of subsistence
of the farmers family.
The writer has no doubt of there
formations previously mentioned to
irrigate five per cent of the land of
large parts Of the Western plains. The
mechanical devices for raising the
water are becoming better and cheap
er every year. There was never be-
fore such activity among the manu-
facturers of water lifting appliances
as is the case at the present time.
The volume of water and the means
to lift it being assured, the redemp-
ton of the plains from the stigma of
aridity is also certain.
In saying this it must not be under
stood that irrigation of the uplands
means the irrigation of large bodies
of land in solid areas. tits absolutely
true that under present conditions
family can obtain good living from
three acres of irrigated land. If a
family can within itself supply the Ia
Dor for the irrigation of ten acres, or
even hire some help, competence and
comparative wealth will be certain in
a comparatively short period. The

owner of 100 acres, irrigating from
three to eight acres, will always pro-
duce a living and some surplus. The
rest of his acres for pasture, for tim
Der. for some grain, will give addi-
tional surplus in the good years, and
his family will always have the means
and leisure to give attention to men
tai Improvement and be certain of in
crease of home comforts and some of
the luxuries Of life.
The position and volume of the sub
terranean waters point to the desira
bility of numerous pumping plants
scattered over the plains-not large
ones with expensive machinery. Wind
is the cheapest motive power. It is
abundant on the plains. These facts
a II suggest that small holdings, say
the standard $50 acres as a maximum,
worked by the owner and his family,
are those that will most economical
" operate in the redemption of the
plains.-Hdrper's Weekly.

THE MONTANA METHOD.

Montana, the new state immortalized
dent Cleveland, the devotion of it's
senators to the cause of silver, and it's
election of woman as assistant at
torney general, has a new claim to
recognition and is proud in the belief
that she excels some of the older
states in the perfection of her prison
system. In the first place exceptional
care is taken in classifying the prison
ers, SO that the hardened criminals
may not contaminate the morals of
the first offenders. In the mat ter Of
employing the convicts the prison
commissioners were hampered by the
lack of funds to purchase material and
tools. But they solved the problem
in way that contributed to the ma
terial we'll being and reformation of
the prisoners, and also to the saving
of money for the state. The convicts
were first utilized in the construction
of prison wall. They went into the
work with spirit, apparently pleased
at the opportunity of learning trade,
and being further stimulated by the
promise that faithful service and good
work would be rewarded by diminu-
ton of sentence. The plan worked
with great success. Many of the men
became expert workmen, and after
leaving the prison, only one of them,
so far as learned, violated the laws of
the state. The success of this expert
ment led to another, in the con-
struction of brick building which
was built entirely by the convicts and
under convict supervision, and that,
too, without any infraction of dis
cipline or disturbance of any kind. In
the absence of work the convicts are
required to attend the prison schooI
five hours daily. The teachers ii this
school are convicts, the principal be-
ing a graduate of Oxford University
who is serving a term of years for
forgery in Helena.-Stdtesnldn

Prof. Sloane's history of Nanoleon.

Prof. Sloane's history of Napoleon,
which continues to occupy the leading
place in the Century Magazine, pro-
crosses rapidly in the April number,
setting before the reader Napoleon
the Assailant of Nationality. - The
narrative deals with the dethrone
ment of the Spanish Bourbons and
the uprising of the Spanish people,
and also with the regeneration of
Germany through Prussia. The illus
trations continue to exhibit an artis-
tic character and a regard for histor-
ical detail, which, together with the
lavish number of them, make them
unique in the illustration of historical
serials.

NO WISH TO LIVE. Mrs. Neal Suffered Constant
 Torture. Doctors Called It Cancer of the
 Stomach. A Friends Advice Was the
 Turning Point.

The frank statement of Mrs. Harriet Neal of h So Pine st., Manchester, N. H.,
 carries conviction. Here is what she
 says:
 About the middle of last April was so sick that I actually did not care
 whether I lived or died. In search of health had tried one kind of medicine
 after another only to meet with failure
 in every case. had also consulted sew eraI doctors here in Manchester, but re- ceived no benefit from their treatment. The doctors diagnosed my case as cancer of the stomach, and during the past two years had been operated upon several times, and had spent hundreds of dollars without being relieved of my sufferings.
 1T passed nights of sleeplessnes and had frequent fits of vomiting, and was often unable to retain even a glass of water upon my stomach. In fact I was without hope, when a friend asked me to try Puritana, saying: It cannot hurt you. and have great faith in it. l was | ht idSC lUuuCeu UO IIlIke d LTldl u LIliS
 wonderful remedy, and to say that I am 1 pleased and surprised at the great re-
 suits accomplished by Puritana does not
 half tell 1t. I cannot express my grati-
 tude. I am now up and about my work can eat and sleep splendidly, and owe 1t all to Puritana, and would not be
 without it under any circumstances. ? l (Signed) MRS. HARRIET NEAL.
 The case of Mrs. Neal is only one of thousands that show what Puritana, the prize formula of Dr. Dixi Crosby, will do for any one who has suffered from Liver, Kidney, or Stomach trou- 1 hles, or from other diseases which are
 caused by wrong stomach and cured 1 by right stomach. In addition to It's l direct action on the organs, Puritana, ] by it's invigorating effect on the stom-
 ach, gives nature a chance to repair tho
 wear and tear of the whole human
 system.

THE AMERICAN BOARD.
Annual Report Will Present Figures of
 Iptarest to T,nca1 Contributors

Annual Report Will Present Figures of
 Interest to Local Contributors
 The American board is coming out of the hard times this year with a pretty satisfactory record in regard to work accomplished, and financially, though 1t has been at the expense of missions reduced in efficiency and of privation on the part of the missionaries. says writer in the Springfield Republican. The financial year ended August 31st, and the figures will be compiled in a few days, showing the exact situation. The expenses and receipts will just about balance. It is said by the Rev. Dr. Judson Smith, the senior foreign secretary, that there may possibly be a little deficit perhaps as high as five hundred dollars, but 1t is believed that there will be none. Considering the hard times in the country during the year. plus the extra contributions Of the supporters of the board, this is re- garded as very creditable showing. There has been paid off by special eff fort the old debt of one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars. In addition there have been very loud calls for Ar IHtIlldIi telleI. olneT SlN6ls tIleH tlIe regular constituents of the board have used the board as their means of distri- button, but it is estimated that the gifts for Armenia from the ordinary givers to the board have been not less than $100,000 The regular appropria- tions for the calendar year 1896 were $5S0,000, against $650,000 for 1895. This $5So, 900 plus the $115,0O0 and the estima- ted $l00,000, makes a total of $795,000. The largest gifts for any one year have never been over $S50,000, and hence 1t is felt that the record is highly creditable.
 The reduction from $650, 900 to S5S0, 900 was accomplished by taking s5O,00O from the appropriations for the mis- sions and $20,000 from the other expen- ses of the board Of the $50,000, some S10000 to S12,000 was taken from the salaries of the missionaries, while the large part was cut off from the evan gelistic work, from the pay of the na- tive teachers and from the support of schools. Of course the missions have been crippled, and in some countries the missionaries themselves have suf- fered material privations.

DIOCESE OF CONNECTICUT.
Extracts From the Journal of Conven-
 ton for 1896.

tlon for 1896.
 Rev. F. w. Hartman, secretary of the diocese of Connecticut, has just
 published the journal of the convention
 held last June.
 The secretary has pretiXed to the Journal a Diocesan Chronology" giv- ing on one page the important dates in
 the history, from the visit of Keith and
 Talbot in 1702 and the organization of Christ church, Stratford, 1707, to the
 death of Bishop Brownell in 1865. The
 clergy list shows two hundred and
 nineteen clergymen economically con-
 nected with the diocese-two hundred
 presbyters and eighteen deacons, be- sides the bishop, of whom, however, | tWenty-seven appear to be non-resi- dents. The oldest in consecutive ca nonical residence is also the last in al- phabetical order, Rev, B. M. Yarrlng- ton, rector emeritus of Christ church. Greenwich, who came to that parish from New York in 1889. The oldest by ordination is Bishop Williams, who was
 ordained deacon September 2d 1888: and besides him there are but five on
 the list who were ordained by Bishop
 BroWnwell The parish list shows one hundred and fifty-one fully organized parishes. there are nineteen missions and unattached chapels, and twelve
 parochial chapels, A second list of
 parishes, partly on the model of former occasional lists, but much improved,
 gives the towns by archdeaconries and
 counties, with the population accord- ing to the last census, and under each
 the name of the parish or parishes or the mission, if any, and the date of the
 organization. From this it appears that there are forty-four parishes and fourteen missions aided by the mission ary society, and fifty-nine towns with out parish or mission It might fairly
 be noted, however, that in several
 cases a church edifice stands near the border of two towns, and the parish, though legally located in one, may have parishioners in both.
 The summary of the parochial re- ports shows in the diocese 1S,245 fami- lies, 30,265 registered communicarts, and 17,041 Sunday scholars. During
 the conventional year 1,778 Infants and 3S7 adults were baptized, 1854 persons were confirmed, and there were 6S8 | marriages and 1,634 burials. The whole amount of income and contributions was nearly $673, GOO, of which but $34,- 900 was income from property; s259,O00 was contributed for improvement of parish property and for endowment for parish support, $26T, GOO for ordinary
 paroehial expenses, $151, 900 for paro- chial work while $62, 900 was given for | extra parochial purposes.
