vERMoNTERs SPEAK IN BOSTON.

Good speeches as usual characterized the
annual banquet of Vermonters held in Bos-
ton. We print short extracts below
In addressing the assembly Mr.. Justice
Field said: | have to thank you for com
ing here tonight a stormy night, but not
one such as would be calculated to fright
en- one who, in his youth, bore the winters
and rigors of the Vermont hills. | would
not cast any saddenng reflections upon
our gathering, hut | feel that | cannot
pass over the events the year has brought
us without a word of tribute to two active
tolers who have dropped from our ranks.
Mr.. Henry o. Iioughton the first pres-
dent of this society. and Mr.. George n.
Carpenter of Bfookine will meet with US
no more. They We're active, aggressive
and successful men, and we shall feel their
loss most keenly.
We are honored tonight with the pres.
ence of justices of the Supreme bench.
do not know whether they are better
Vermonters than we who have been first
to leave the State, but they certainly will
have a fresherf ervor ana take pleasure
in introducing Chief justice Ross.
Mr. Justice Ross reviewed the early and
hardy history of the State, it's struggle
with New York State over the question of
property title, for which they paid the
crown due consideration, and told of his
admiration for the sturdy conservatism
ana rugged scenery which inspired such
mastering qualities in its sons ana dauEh-
ters In closing he told OF the siX-yea, old
lassie who at the close of her first sum-
mer among the hills of her mothers child
hood, boldly declared that she would
rather see load of great yellow pumpkins
unloaded than see all the store windows
on Washington street, and who stoutly
persisted that she would rather stay up
among the hills than 30 back to Boston
with her mama.
| Mr., Justice Thompson made n very witty
speech. I'VE have always been people
Of and by ourselves" said he. Even in
our judiciary proceedings we keep many
things that in other places. are held to be
| inadequate. The sheriff opens our courts
with the simple announcement that any
| body having any business is requested tc
bring II forward and have IT done, and tho
only time have ever knew reformation
to be inaugurated, 1t ended in laughablC
complications. Mr. Justice. Wheeler was
upon the bench, and his old sheriff hat

the court with the deaconly ending, May

ENGLISH N ZULUS.
Count Tolstoi Says They Are the Two
Most Brutal Nations.

SSulO e0yo AhACS YAM wv
Most Brutal Nations.
Count Tolstoi says the English and
Zulus should both be bracketed together
as the two most brutal nations OF earth.
Both worship their muscle, and while
the Zulus &c about naked all day long,
English women strip themselves half
naked before they dine.
The count wishes he had time to write
a book about them and their brutality.
Apropos, some one has found time to
write a book about the count, and it
promises revelations. This person is a
lady who lived for ten years as govern
ess in the Tolstoi family.
The following story is told about the
pretended vegetarianism: "The old
count always demanded that vegetarian
dishes should be brought to the table for
him, while his wife and the rest of the
family ate beefsteaks and other flesh
foods.
'It often happened that the countess
would put a little chicken on her hus-
bands plate. but he, with indignant
looks, would push it back, murmuring
No, 1 will not eat meat. Absolutely, l
will not. But I have often surprised him
going to the sideboard for a piece Of roast
beef which the evening before he had
solemnly refused at table. The carnivo-
rous instinct having been awakened, the
enormous piece of meat would be swal'
lowed in one bite by this apostle Of veg
etarianism. New York World Letter.

GERMANY Is SORE.
The Usual SIurs on President Cleve-
land Follow His Proclamation.
T17t Tn11- IN fbe Ty,,ss.<

BERLIN, Dec. 8. S96.-Commenting up
on the proclamation of the President of
the United States restoring tonnage dues
upon German vessels. the National Zei-
tung says that the tonnage dues at Ham
burg, Bremen and other German ports
viii surely be increased. but solely for the
purpose of improving the harbors for the
general benefit of shipping and not for
State purposes as in America Foreign
ers having their own wharyes in Ger
many, the paper adds, German ship
pers must build their own wharyes In
America; Germany will now be deprived
of the advantages she obtained in 1888,
the sacrifice being imposed upon German
shipowners.''
The sFreisinnige Zeitung'' estimates
that the North German Lloyd Steamship
Company alone will be subjected to an
increased expenditure of 10000 marks,
and the Hamburg American line will suf-
fer to almost as great an extent
The Cologne Gazette regards Presi-
dent Cleveland's proclamation as an effort
on his part to retire from Office in a
blaze of glory. The Presidents assertion
that State tonnage dues are levied at
German ports, however, is erroneous, as
the dues imposed are solely for the use
of special port facilities
N conclusion the Gazette expresses
pope pope that in the enforcement of the proc
iamation even in the case of Germans
IN America" the American courts will
see that the principle of right and ius-
tiee is upheld and that meanwhile Ger
an infringement of German rights can
not be accepted.
