WISE PARROT.
In Captivity, Yet 1t Lays EGGS Only
on Good Friday and Easter
Sunday.

Here are two occurrences far re-
moved from the ordinary. The truth is
vouched Tor by local papers in the
neighborhood where they are said to
have taken place:
In Ironton, o., Mr.. w. Il. Horton, a
well-known citizen, is the proud pos
SCISSOR of a parrot that lays eggs in cap
tivity. This of itseifpis said to be re-
markable, as these tropical beauties get
out OF the egg-laying habit when Gagged.
But this bird did more. Agar ago she
laid ap egg on Good Friday and another
on Easter Sunday. That'was all. This
year, remembering the day and date,
she did the same thing. Just how she
kept track without an almanac is the
wonder. She will be watched next year,
and if the same thing happens, she will
be looked upon as a marvel, indeed.
Down near Evansville they had a
thunderstorm a week or two ago. A
lightning stroke shivered a tree near
the house of DIR. Henderson, who lives
near the village of St. Philip. 1t not
only shattered the tree; but it broke
every pane of glass in the house. Some
thing like 126 new lights of glass wiz
be needed to make the house just as il
was before the lightning played its
prank. So severe was the shock that
the worshipers in a church hard by
thought an earthquake had added its
terrors to the thunderstorm then rag.

Mr.. Smith was born in Hardwick, VT, July
"a, 1924. He received a collegiate education
and studied theology at the Andover and the
Hartford Theological Seminary, graduating
fro - the latter. He took parish in the
earlier years of his ministerial life, but he is
best known by his labors, for many years, in
the ser ice of the Vermont Domestic Mission
airy Society and subsequently as editor Of the
ps'naont Chronicle, the Unconventional paper
OF the Congregationalists Of this State. In
this latter capacity he was, for time, the as
sociate of Rev. DR.. w. II Lord, but on the
retirement, sometime in the earlier eighties, of
Rev. j. II. Hincks from the editorship Of the
paper he took the entire editorial control of the
publication. This he continued till the re-
moval of the Chronicle to St Johnsbury in
August, 1895. Modest and unassuming in de-
meanor, Mr.. Smiths convictions were clear,
and, his mind once made up, he adhered to his
opinions with a resolution that was firm but for

Southern Notes.

II by means of Uncle Sans mail service I
could blow breath Of this June weather
to the hills of Vermont it would mix we'll
with that twenty-six degrees below zero
weather we were having when left there in
the first week OF the new year. And the cold
belt held out we'll clear down to the nation g
capital, and ice down to Central Vir-
gnia, but after leaving the mountains of
North Georgia the cold snap seemed to melt
away fast. AT Montgomery. Ala it rained
mild and warm like our April or May. Here
at Selma for three days 1t has been hot, child
rem playing barefoot on the streets and
men working in shirt sleeves and sweating
In light rament. Well this Is q great
country, and has lot Of weather in various
degrees.
Our route lay through much historic
ground. At New London we thought OF
Benedict Arnold and Zlbs Wood worth the
first traitor, the last a preacher at Mont
pelier In its early days and sorely wounded
in Arnold massacre at new London. At
New York, Trenton, Brandy-wine, Bslti-
more and Washington, were reminded OF
battles fought In the wars OF 1776 and 1914.
All down through the Old Dominion, battle
fields came thick and fast Virginia ought to
draw pension for being SCARED, wounded
and devastated by wars, AZ we'll az for hav-
ing been the mother OF six Presidents. But
all is quiet along the Potomac now.
AT Manassas Junction where the fields
1861. and where the brooks ran red with the
best blood OF this nation, the cattle were
roaming IN the same fields and drinking from
the same brooks, a poor style Of farming but
emblematic Of peace. Culpepper famous as
the nations place Of "Col. Culpepper Star
bottle, is quaint and quiet old town.
Montpelier, the country seat of President
Madison and Monticello that OF Jefferson,
are near this line. Lynchburg and Dsnville
are fragrant with the odor OF good tobacco
and old memories.
We stopped one day in Washington and
one in Montgomery. The nations capital is
the thrift lest place just now. That new Con-
gressioDal Library building is an honor aud
glory TO the county, and the White House
the home Of our chief ruler is not an honor to
the land. The Capitol is we'll enough unless
too much rhetorical gas gets up into that i'm
mense dome and bursts 1t off. We found GEN.
w. w. Grout at the Arlington cheerful and
busy, and though 80 far away he seems to
have quite an interest in the next Congress-
ional election for the second district in Yer
mont. We found the Metropolitan, though

says: "The reason for not publishing
the list of veterans as originally con-
templated was not because the enumer-
alton was defective, but because of the
d tiiculty aud enormous expense in
volved in securing the data relating to
the military history Of each one of the
million or more enumerated" Mr..
Porter also submits an estimate Of the
number Of survivors at the present
time, which he says "is much nearer
that OF the Sun than some of the So
called estimates going the rounds."
From the superintendent figures,
which he says stake all elements OF the
calculation into ACCOUNT it would APP
pear that on June l, 1897, there would
have been 1924 600 surviving veterans.
The soldiers were men picked with
reference to their freedom from dis
ease, or the sources of disease; but this
advantage was lost after the hardships
of war, and it is not improbable that
the death rate among these men has
been as large as among the entire pop
ulation, upon the health of which the
life tables used in the calculations are
based.
But whatever the number of survi-
vors of the war that saved the Union,
everyone wishes the largest compute
ton were vastly below the actual mum.
Der of veterans that are now enjoying
the blessings Of peace and the glory and
honor of saving their country from dis
ruption. May their days be long upon
the earth and the infrmities of life rest
lightly upon them.

ARTHUR ROPES. General Editor.

JUDGE POWERS publicly declares, in
reply to many inquiries, that it is not
true that he has indicated his purpose
not 10 accept another election to Con-
gress, but that he will gratefully ac-
cept another nomination, IL it be the
pleasure OF the next Republican dis
trict convention to confer it," Here is
a chip on the members shoulder that
Hon. D. j. Foster is invited to remove.
Current opinion seems to be that if the
chip is knocked off it will be by blow
from some more stslwart shoulder than
the anatomy of the tax commissioner
contains. II there is fight in the
first district there will be nothing ex-
elusive in the entries. 1t will be
scrap that is free for all, and the more
the merrier.
BILLS asking for appropriations for
federal buildings to be erected In vari-
GUS cities of the country already aggre-
gate some S15 100000. Congress is
not likely TO spend much money on
new post Office buildings, custom or
court houses, etc., till the receipts of
revenue are surely and permanently in
excess of expenditures. Proposed ap-
preparations for military parks on the
fields of great events in the civil war
however meritorious-are all likely to
be shut out, also, under the general
rule that no bill carrying an appropria.
ton for new project shall be passed
by the House of Representatives until
the governments income exceeds it's
outgoes. Vermont Republicans expect
their representatives to stand by this
rule, and to vote to keep all appropria-
tons down to the limits of wise econ
omy.

state Sovereignty Still Dominant

Senator Thurstou's original iudg.
ment, on the broad ground of a wise
AID far-seeing national policy, in favor
Of the annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands, was sounder and more to his
credit than his later decision, if the
newspaper reports are tue, to vote
against the treaty now before the Sem
ate because the cane sugar production
Of Hawaii might prove injurious TO the
raising of the sugar beet in Nebraska.
Every form of the pernicious doc
trine of State sovereignty, it appears,
was not destroyed by the surrender at
Appomattox. II the annexation OF the
islands is desirable either fer their COM
mercial value, or for the purposes of
naval strategy and for the safeguarding
of the national interests on the Pa
cific's waters, that is the paramount
consideration, and no minor considera-
ton OF the possible effect of annexa-
ton on an undeveloped and problem
attic industry in the s ate OF Nebraska
should be allowed to take precedence
in the Senator's mind of the vital inter-
ests of the Nation at large. Neither
beet sugar in Nebraska nor maple sugar
in Vermont could counterbalance the
national advantages of annexation.
Furthermore, in view of the fact that
Hawaiian sugar is now, and for many
years has been, admitted free of duty,
it is difficult to see what injurious
change, in respect of the sugar indus
try, annexation Can introduce. If the
encouragement of sugar beet produc-
ton is of paramount national import.
ance, then the growing of sugar cane
in Louisiana and Texas, as we'll as the
annexation of Hawaii, should be dis
couraged or prohibited; the law admit
ting Hawaiian sugar free of duty should
be repealed, and the reciprocal trade
arrangements, permitted by the Ding
ley tariff, with sugar producing countries
should be declined.
One can imagine what a storm of
wrath and ridicule Vermont's Senators
might raise if treaty for the annexa-
ton of Canada were pending in the
Senate, and its ratification were regard
ed as matter of great and vital ma
tional importance, and these Senators
by their votes should defeat ratification
all because the free admission of Ca
madam hay, or lumber, might operate
to the disadvantage of Vermont farm
ers or lumbermen. The Senators of
Nebraska, and those of other States
which are raising, or are beginning to
raise, sugar beets occupy no stronger
position in their opposition to Hawaiian
annexation than would the Senators of
Vermont in the suppositious case. In
dependence of judgment, and moral
courage to act contrary to the judgment
OF constituency, are sometimes deman.
ed Of representative. Cases of this
kind are on record in which the repre-.
sentative successfully justified his in
dependence before his immediate con-
stituents, and won fame and honor for
conscientious performance of duty,
controlled nor limited by State lines.
So may it be with the beet sugar
statesmen in this matter of the anne x
alton of Hawaii.

PLENTY OF PRISONERS.
SPanfards Who Can BE EXCHANGED for
the Merrimnc,s Crexx

NASfEl"ucS Sfew.
Ine commanding officer at Fort McPher-
son, Ga, has furnished the War Depart
ment full list of Spanish captives to IA
cilitate the work of exchange for the crew
OF the Merrimac captured at Santiago
Cuba. This is likely to occupy more time
than was originally expected, because of
the difficulty Of communicating with the
Spanish admiral at Santiago. The ex-
change effected at Havana was conducted
through the British ambassador here, Sir
Julian Pauncefote, and the British consul
general at Havana, Mr.. Goian, with the
aid of the existing cable, but it is not likely
that there is now any cable communication
with Santiago, so the preIiminaries must be
arranged directly through Admiral Samp-
son, time-consuming operation, as the
can be reached only through the agency of
dispatch beats from Jamaica or Hayti.
The War Department officials were sur
.prised at the number of Spanish officers
held captive at Fort Mcpherson, and it
will be seen that there is no lack of mate
rial. as was at first feared, for equal ex-.
change. Two officers have already been ex-'
changed-namely, Colonel Vincente de Cor
