An international Quartet.

Henry Newbolt, the young English
poet whose "Admirals All'' was by many
competent critics counted the best addi
ton to English literature last year, CON
tributes a swinging ballad, "Gillespie,' to
the May Atlantic; Stephen Phillips, whose
verse was crowned by the London
Academy, writes noteworthy poem, "Af-
ter Rain"
OF the two American poets represented
in this unusual collection, William Vaughn
Moody of Chicago contributes tender and
semi-religious poem, "Good Friday Night"
and Miss Branch striking "Song of the
Wandering Dust" which is poem of ev-
olution, full of imaginative strength.
If poetry has really gone out of the
world, it has surely flung back rather
noteworthy echo in this group of poems
that make the May Atlantic memorable.

The spanish People.

Spain has now population of about
10000, 900 people, and of these, according
to a recent report of the Spanish govern
ment, nearly 100000 profess no occupa-
tion. Grandees and beggars alike disclaim
the plebeian virtue of daily toll. There
are nearly a hundred thousand registered
beggars, half of them females, in this poor
little land, and one-third Of the entire
population is entirely unlettered. The
"ancient social canker' of contempt for
work aud workers has eaten the life from
Spain, clerical authority and the expense
of keeping up costly church and throne
have affected the power of initiative in
Spain to an extent which NAV presently
be realized by Christendom in a way desir-
ed of all peacemakers. In a land where
there are less than 100000 of men and
women engaged in agriculture, decmated
of late by the demand for men for the
Cuban army, there must presently be real
lied a sense of the starvation basts where
on Spain is herself trying to starye into
submission her daughter Cuba, whose time

Ex-Tovn Treasurer of Petersham Miss
ing.

Postmaster and eXTown Treasurer c.
II. Glasheen has disappeared from Peters
ham, and it is alleged that he is $1,000
short in his accounts. Mr. Glasheen had
been treasurer two years. He failed to be
reelected this year, and about two weeks
ago, when he was expected to turn his
books over to his successor he left Town,
as he claimed on business trip. Moth
ing has since been heard from him by the
seectmen, who suspected something was
wrong, Their suspicion was increased by
the arrival Of Post Office Inspector Snow
to look over the accounts of the office.
The selectmen opened the safe last
Thursday and an examination of the
books shows an alleged shortage Of Sl2O0.
1t is also alleged that the accounts of the
post-olrce are badly mixed. Until the
failure Of the firm Of J. d. ~ c. II Gla-
sheen in February last, the eN-treasurer
was member OF the firm, which owned a
general store in Pcter,ham. Mr.. Glasheen
is So years of age and married.

Our Patent Medicine statesmen.

From the SpTIhRHtIu htpuDIICdHI
Vermonters are not exactly pleased over
the appearance of Gov CIRCUITS face in
patent medicine advertisement which is be-
ing circulated the country over. 1t is an
excellent suggestion which one paper
makes, that the money derived from this
sale of official features to the patent medi-
cine men should go into the state treasury.
We do not know why it should not Gov.
CIRCUITS face and testimonial would be
comparatively valueless but for his official
position; and since it was the people who
gave him that position and hence that
value, the patent medicine income from
said value properly should go to the peo-
ple or the state. If Gov. Grout can detect
any fallacy in this reasoning, he should
hasten to point it out.
