One of Vermont's Summer Visitors.

Upon an elevated and slightly spot
in the town of Newfane stands a
picturesque log cabin which for some
four months in every year, is the
home of one whose name is familiar
ly connected with all the Congrega-
tional Home Missionary societies in
which women are the prime movers
"a woman who has accomplished
much along these special lines of
Christian activity, and who is most
highly esteemed by the workers in
many states, with whom she counsels
from time to time as to the best
methods of spreading the Gospel
among those who need its uplifting
and saving influence. We refer to
Mrs. Harriet Strong Caswell; and
because she has for So many years
been regular summer visitor to YER
mont, the Green Mountain State has
adopted her and looks upon her as
one of its own.
Mrs. Caswell is a native of Massa-
chusetts, and during the main portion
of her married life labored with
marked success among the Iroquois,
in New York state. The story Of her
work with the Indians, as told in a
volume written by her sometime ago,
is an interesting One and has had a
wide reading. OF late years, since
the death of her husband, Mrs. Cas-.
well has devoted her energies to the
work of the Women's Home Mission
airy societies. A long time ago she
began her summer visits to Vermont,
spending the vacation seasons at
first at Danville, then finding an en-
joyable resting place at Randolph
Center; and later at Newfane. Here
she became interested in the old site
of the village, where once had stood
the court house, the Jail, and the
whipping-post, as well as the old
Field homestead, where lived the
grandfather of the noted writer
Eugene Field. Mrs. Caswell pur.
chased piece of land on the summit
of Newfane Hill and erected the log
cabin which bears the name OF ben
Casson," where she enjoys her sum
mers and entertains a great many
callers-as many as one thousand
names being registered in a bool
which she keeps for that purpose II
single season. Friends contribute,
to the building of study for he
near the ledge, a short distance iron
the cabin; in this study andi in nea
little barn and it's cupola, command
ing a fine view of the surrounding
country, are cosy, spare rooms
where she lodges her visitors.
Mrs. Caswell is a Vermonter for
portion of every year-one of tn
many who are attracted by til
natural beauties and restful facilitie
, with which our state abounds.

Falcon Island. s.dden End.

The latest budget Of news from the
native kingdom of Tonga mentions the
disappearance of an island in the Pa
cific under circumstances that seem to
lend some color to popular supersti-
ton. On October 10, 1885, the in
habitants of the Tonga capital wit
messed one Of the grandest pyrotech-
meal displays of the century. Some 30
miles to the northwest submarine vol
cano suddenly started operations,
throwing columns of steam and feath-
ers of fire to an estimated height Of
$4,000 feet. When the performance was
over and people thought it safe enough
to approach, it was found that new
island six miles long, two miles broad.
and 300 feet high, had been added to
the map of the world. 1t was christened
FalconiSand, but nobody cared to settle
en- it. People who promenaded its sur
face had sensation akin to walking
On piecrust. Fragile and unsubstantial
as it was, it managed to live for exactly
l3 years, finally sinking and disap-
pearing from view on October 10, 1898.

FOR NEW SETTLERS.

The people Of Steele are preparing in q
proper manner for the reception of new
settlers. At meeting of the citizens a
few days ago the hotel proprietors agreed
to give the prospective settlers the same
treatment as the residents Of the county,
and establish q rate of 81 per day for
board and lodging for adults. and 50 cents
day for children, where they remained
day or two. The livery men agreed
upon rate Of $ per day for rig and
team. and furnish driver familiar with
the land in that county, and the legal
description Of such vacant lands as q
settler would wish to inspect, at a cost
Of 81 per day for such driver. Other pro-
visions of a like nature were made. This
is something which every town in the
state which expects immigrants from the
east would do well to attend to.

abandoned and not cruelty treated.
One thing needed here is law that
would compel the father Of child to
pay five dollars month or more for its
support. If such law were in force
there would be fewer cases Of abandon
ment.
The complaints of cruelty to chill
dren generally come through the police.
Very few come to the Office Of the chill
dren's society. People do not seem to
understand that complaints can be sent
there. The complaint is generally
made to the police officer on the beat,
and if he cannot attend to it it is re-
ferred to me. These cases are those of
children who have been cruelty beaten,
neglected by dissipated parents, or ex-
posed to suffering. It is hard some
times to make the cases in court. There
was one case we had of boy who bore
marks all over his body of the beatings
received from his mother. In court the
boy said he got the marks by falling
down on a heap of oyster shells. OF
course the court could do nothing.

that section," he continued, referring
to the fourth section of the law provid-
ing penalty for placing or receiving =
child under is years of age into dis
reputable house for immoral purposes.
when the burden Of proof is on the
government to show that girl is un-

tablish q case. If girl says she is 10
you cannot easily prove the contrary.
In Boston it is quite different. There,
understand, the burden of proof is on

Il the same law or practice existed here
persons who receive girls for question

To the reader of intelligence it will
seem to be strange that there should be
no properly codified laws for the Dis
trict of Columbia, the seat Of national
government, where the law-maing
body Of the republic has annual ses-
sions for legislative purposes. But the
laws which are in operation here are
the veriest conglomeration Of the an
cient and the modern.
The District Of Columbia was orig.
inally portion of the sovereign state
Of Maryland; and when the capital city
was founded here it was ordained that
the laws of Maryland should continue
to be in force. From time to time the
congress has repealed some Of these
laws. and enacted other laws in their
stead; but there still remains in opera.
ton a number of laws of the old state
of Maryland, some of them being most
ridiculous. Moreover, many of thelawso Of
Maryland have been repealed or mod
flied for that state, but they are still in
force here.
Then, for time, we had a territorial
form of government in the District Of

Columbia, and the territorial legisla.
ture passed number of laws which are
still in force; although we have not
had territorial form of government
for more than IS years. In any other
community something would have been
done long since to bring order out OF
chaos.
But there is another condition which
is not generally understood. Ever since
1872 the District of Columbia has been
without the elective franchise, and has
been entirely under the control of the
federal authorities. The people can
not elect anybody to any office. The
president appoints three commissioners
to execute the laws, and they appoint
all subordinate officials. The congress
has legislative power here; and during
the past IS years the congress has
passed great many laws for the Dis
trict of Columbia, regardless of all
other laws.
No wonder the. big policeman is pug
zled, and wonders how to prevent and
suppress crime. We have Maryland law,
district law and congressional law.
Many of these statutes conflict with
each other, and sometimes the Judges
do not know what to do with GRIM
inals, because of the conflicting laws.
Our lawyers have again and again
asked the congress to have our laws
codified and ratified, and made stable.
But the congress is body hard to

St. AIMS infant asylum has done a
great deal of good in this vicinity. No
body knows how many children have
been taken there after their abandon
ment, and saved. When one of the
sisters was asked if it would be safe to
say hundreds, she replied that it would
be safe to say thousands.
Unfortunate and abandoned women,
with limited intelligence, see no future
for themselves. except the abandon
ment of their children. Sometimes the
miserable mothers abandon their chill
dren in the public parks, and leave
them to die as naked as they were born.
Many an infant so abandoned has been

warmed, clothed, fed and nurtured
into life. Once in awhile an infant is
found wrapped warmly in beautiful and
costly clothing.
The story told by the policeman
about the way colored women are
sometimes placed in charge of infants
is true story, and illustrates COM
mon occurrence. Middle-aged colored
women have all of them had more or
less experience as nurses, in their
younger days; and no one of them is
surprised when a white lady asks her
to take charge of little baby for a
few minutes. The colored woman looks
upon it as most natural occurrence.
Then, while the honest black woman
holds the little one tenderly, the dis
honorable white woman disappears in
the throngs of the city streets, and per-
haps takes train to Baltimore or else
where.
Whether such woman ever thinks
of her baby afterwards, or prays for
its welfare, nobody knows. Honorable
girls and women who are reared in
Christian homes will wonder how such
things can be. The virtuous wives'of
good men. who love their children, and
teach them to pray, cannot understand
how any mother could turn her back
upon her helpless offspring.
