TO the citizens OF New-York:
All recent have demonstrated that Govern
ment hospital service Is not able to meet all de-
mands In times of emergency: this Will doubtless
prove TO be the case In our war with spain. the
more so as We have entered into IL under adverse
climatic conditions. Therefore. there is great need
for suppementng the authorities efforts by pri-

The sign OF the Red Cross has been information
ally recognized for this service and the order has
been authorized by the President OF the United
States to cooperate with the National authorities
in This work OF relief The Red Cross will be
spectcd by friend and foe alike. and therefore 1t
probably is the best medium FOR the efforts OF the
patriotic men and women OF our country
We earnestly hope that our fellow-citizens WILL
with their usual generosity. assist In this patriotic
work FOR the relief Of sick and wounded so
that city Of New York may also. In this

and unreliable. The steadiest of discipline
and fairest of treatment by officers skilled In
human nature as well as tactics, and in gov
erning uncongenial people, would be taxed
to the utmost to make Malay troops reliable
In any real emergency.
"The British tried the same experiment
with their Sepoys and others, and with all
their experience for so loog time in govern
ing strange races had tremendous rebel
lion. After a long time, when they had con.
quered some of the mountain peoples, like
the Goorkas and Sikhs, they were able to
make very good and loyal soldiers of them,
for they we're not tropical people with tropi-
cal characteristics, but were races living
among lofty mountains and in comparatively
temperate zones.
1.-THE cost of governing such people, If no
duties were collected, must be borne entire,
ly by the United States, or by the imposition
OF taxes upon the inhabitants of the islands,
who are neither fond of work nor OF taxes
If tariff should be adopted at the same rate
as we have here, then our exports which go
there must go in free, and then we would get
no revenue, for the foreign trade would be
driven out. And IL we had a tariff which was
for instance, 10 per cent at Manila, while on
the same goods 1T was 20 per cent here, then
we are treating one part of the people of the
United States by law differently from what
we are treating another part of the United
States"

In communication to the Burlington
Free Press, w. w. Hlgbee of Charlotte,
says: Let us assume, and insist upon
the assumption that Gen. Peck's office
and every other Office exists first and
forever for the benefit of the state of
Vermont. Let us always insist that our
state treasury represents the earnings of
the people, and is no more open to plum
der than the vaults of a savings bank.
Mistakes, misapprehensions, errors of
judgement can be excused but the PEG.
pie will decide this for themselves.
There should be no scapegoat. Every
officer should face his own dongs. If
G.. w. Perry drew from the treasury 81
a dav more than the statute allows him,
let Mr.. Perry explain for himself his
conception of official honor. If he drew
this money on the auditors order, let
State Auditor Hale tell us how this Or
der came into Perry's possession. Ger
tainly this was not an outcome of the
Spanish war. This was not a case of
"glitter" to keep the state of Vermont
up to the front on public occasions"
Did the state auditor take the trouble of
ascertaining whether Mr.. Perry was be-
ing overpaid or not? He certainly could
not fall back upon the governors APP
prOval" In this case. Conservative men
have beheld with apprehension the con-
stantly Increasing burden of state ex-
penses, and have protested against it,
but little glitter" has blinded the
many. Your recently published extract
from the message of Gov. Barstow In
1882 is platform for honest and eco
nomical state government. 1t is common
sense in state affairs, but it has not been
popular of late.
If Coy. Grout was OF the opinion that
all unauthorized expenditure of public
money In Nashville or anywhere else
was conducive to the good of the state
he has a right to hold to it still. But we
may gravely question its expectancy.
When the commander in chief, the head
of the civil authority, Is driven to
"custom" IN order to shield the most
extravagant administration in our
history, it is time to ring down the
curtain. This is matter that interests
every taxpayer in the state. 1t reaches
into the future. The question is, are
public funds to be used by our officials
as personal interest or vanity suggest,
without laws, or under color of
strained and unusual Interpretation of
law? Some of our state officials are not
in an enviable position.

Some men have queer hobbies, and
remarkable one is that of a Glasgow
man who has spent the leisure of four
years in rewriting the Scriptures. He
is a compOsitor, with a wonderful gift
of turning out beautiful writing, and in
the time mentioned he has managed to
reach the middle of the Psalms. In
two years he anticipates that the con-
Guiding verses will have been written.
A feature of this remarkable Bible will
be it's illustrations. Each chapter has
its artistically designed initial letter
and each book a pictorial heading illus

days ran errands for Carlyle, to whom
he carried the local morning paper

OCEAN MYSTERIES.
SECRETS WELL GUARDED BY OLD
FATHER NEPTUNE.

Vessels which Fave Sailed and Never Been
Heard of-The Marie Ceieste-An Ameri-
can Brig That Was lowed Into Port But
Her People had All Disappeared.
When a well-found ship leaves port
and is never afterwards heard from, it
is put down as a mystery of the sea.
When a dead body encased in an un-
identified life-jacket is lifted up by the
sleepless surf and cast on the wave
worn beach, that, too, Is recorded as
mystery of the deep. The waterlogged
raft with the stump of a distress sig
nal spar pointing mutely skyward; the
battered llfeboat with the oars drag
ging from the gunwales, and the acre
of boxes and barrels and beams and
planks floating silently on the white
crests, and in the dark holows of the
surging sea, these are likewise called
ocean mysteries. Sometimes these
marks of shipwreck and death are
picked up by more fortunate craft and
are brought to port to be mysteries no
longer. But there are mysteries of the
sea deeper than the plank, the crushed
lifeboat and the dead sailor. Man has
tried to Pantheon them, hopelessly at
tempted to put two and two together
that he might get at the truth. Noun
tains and valleys echo their secrets,
but the cruel old ocean never does
There are greater secrets in Old
Neptune's care than those of the miss
ing ship. The Naronic went away and
never came back. So did the City Of
Boston, City of Glasgow, Erin, Alvo,
City of London, City of Limerick, Pres
ident, Pacific and a score of others.
Yet the disappearance Of these craft
are ordinary mysteries of the sea. A
greater mystery still is when a crew
abandons its ship and is never again
heard from, while the abandoned craft
is subsequently towed into port with
out giving the least trace of those who
had been in charge of her.
Such a case was that of the Marie
Celeste, and it is as weird and uncanny
a tale as even the Ancient Mariner"
or the Flying Dutchman" aspired to
be. The remarkable disappearance Of
the Celeste's crew was made the sub
ject of an extensive investigation by
the State Department in Washington,
and it is from these records that the
particulars herein given were obtained.
The Marie Celeste was an American
brig of over 400 tons, and early in the
seventies left this port for Villefranche,
in the Mediterranean. Several months
after her departure she was towed into
port as sound as a new coin, but her
people, numbering thirteen, including
the wife and child of the skipper, have
not been heard of from that day to this.
The name of the captain of the Marie
Celeste was Benjamin Briggs, and he
hailed from New England. In addition
to the little six-year-old daughter who
shared the fate of the crew, whatever
it was, the captain had boy ten years
old. 1t had been his habit to take this
boy to sea with him, but on the event
full trip in which he disappeared from
the face of the globe, he left his son
behind. The latter has spent a small
fortune in trying to ascertain what
happened to his parents and the other
people of the brig after that vessel was
deserted; he knows as much now of the
mystery as he did twenty years ago.
