New York. Feb. 25-There is always
searchmaking by people Of literary pro-
cliviues for a vocation that will yield what
meets their ideas Of a reasonable hveli-
hood. and stn leave them some leisure
for literary empoyments. II is at best
a hard search for as a rule any vocation
to yield a fair livelihood, eXacts practi-
caly all of ones time and strength. Never
theless. there is all the time a great deal
OF good literary work done Ia the inter
walls Of a regular daily business. For
twenty years Richard Grant White was
chief Of the United States revenue marine
bureau for the district of New York, and
during those twenty years he produced
his several books on words and lam
guage and his Life Of Shakespeare and,
indeed. most Of the works on which his
fame now rests. For nearly as long a
term. Richard Henry stoddard also held
a place in the customs service, and dur
ing that time wrote much the larger pare
of his published poetry. did a great ceal
OF work as the editor Of various colec-
tious, and also did more or less review
ing. For nine years, John Burroughs was
clerk in the treasury department at
Washington: and il was mainly while sit

outdoor life and nature was written. He

from ended, says letter sent from Manila
to Hong Kong. One of the foremost
American generals said recently; 1--WE
will see hundred thousand soldiers in the
Philippines before the Americans control
the islands" The majority of the army
are of his opinion. 1t is generally consid
cred that great reinforcements are neces-
sary, there not being sufficient number of
American troops in the archipelago to make
conquest of the Island of Luzon and hold
the ports occupied, and it is thought that
it would be cheaper in the long run and
have better effect upon the natives to es-
tablish American supremacy eifectually
and quickly than to temporize with a score
of rebellions.
All the stories told by prisoners and
friendly natives agree that a majority of
the insurgents would be glad to quit, but
that there are enough professional revolu-
tionsts left to infest the country with
bands of hundreds of men and to democrat
ize business for years to come. Some high
Americans believe that the government
would wisely expend money in buying off
Aguinaldo and his clique of influential ma
tives.
Foreigners in Manila think the Ameri-
cans are too optimistic as to the effects of
the proclamation. They say that the weak
ness of the proclamation lies in the fact
that the natives have so long dealt with
the Spaniards that they are unable to real
ize what its words mean and that the pur
port of its promises is anything but a
snare.
A majority of the United States volun-
teers are eager to return home, and 1--WE

work than they are doing is impossible to
find, there is small glory in the guerilla
warfare, the dangers and hArdships of
which cannot be appreciated at home. The
volunteers construe their enlistment ito
the close of the war" to apply to the war
with Spain, and wish to be relieved by
regulars.
The Spanish system of defending Manila
by line of blockhouses may be adopted by
the American authorities here during the
wet season, as it requires fewer men than
the trench defences and lessons the chances
of sickness among the defenders.
Lieut.. Steunenberg of the Idaho regi-

Orders have been received from Wash

of the Sd cavalry, which for year or
more have been at Fort Ethan Allen, to
Fort Meyer, Va. Orders have also been
received which transfer troops F and {, to

that Qmr. Hurd and Adj. Ripley, as we'll

ecution of this order leaves the number of
troops the same as previous to the war.

taking of trout through the ice at any time

The Forest Caterpillar.

1t is suggested that people owning maple
or other trees subject to injury by the for
est caterpillar, which did so much mischief
hereabouts last spring, may now proftably
take the saving stitch in time. The eggs
hatch early, but are yet on the twigs of
the trees and may be easily destroyed so
far as they can be reached. They are usu-
ally on twigs a quarter of an inch in diam
eter or less and the brown mass made by a
deposit looks like 'swollen" place in the
limb. They may be easily dislodged with
knife, and can be burned. In many
cases it appears that some natural enemy
has attacked the eggs, as the mass is loos-
ened and apparently destroyed. : Rutland

The preliminary hearing in the case of
George Doherty, charged with shooting
Fred Murphy near Bolton Falls last Febru-
ary, which had been postponed from time
to time to await the result of Murphy's
injuries and for other reasons, was held at
Montpelier Saturday, and Doherty was re-
handed to Jail to await the action of the
grand jury. Murphy died several weeks
after the shooting. 1t was expected that
the hearing would be held at Waterbury,
but it is stated that a fear of causing dis
turbance, in view of threats which, it is
said friends of Murphy have made, it was
thought best to bring the defendant to
Montpelier 1t is expected that the grand
Jury will be called in special session to pass
upon the case. NIurphy's body was taken
last week from Burlington, where he died,

Several of the Keene clergymen COM

Gov. Rollins in his Fast day message on
the existing state of religious feeling in

that the governor exceeded his warrant in
thus upholding his state to the criticism of
the world. The status of religious feeling
in Cheshire county rural communities is
certainly improved, if anything, over that
of 10 years ago, and there is no town where
the usual rites are not performed by the
