SwindIer Operating in Vermont.

A man giving his name as W. H. Gil
man and claiming to be of Richmond,
Va, is in Vermont PLAYING swindling
game upon business men. His plan of
operation is to look up farmers who
have real estate to sell. He processes to
be satisfied with the price but wishes to
correspond about the matter and asks
for the farmers address on a slip of
paper. This he obtains in the farmers
handwriting in nearly every instance.
He then goes to business house, orders a
bill of goods to be sent to some neighbour
ing town or village in care of farmer,
whose place he pretends he has bought
or leased. In payment he tenders a
check on a Richmond, Va, bank, bear
ing the forged endorsement of some we'll
known farmer of the town in which he is
trading. The check is drawn for a
larger sum than the bill of goods calls
for. AS the check seems all right he is
paid the balance and decamps. BY a
game of this sort he recently "beat" the
White River Furniture Company, OF
White River Junction out of S34 on
which S. B. Whiteright's endorsement
was forged. He ordered the furniture to
be sent to him in care of ]. H. Dunbar,
Hartland. The check was returned to
the firm as worthless.

In Defense of Cecil Rhodes.

In the March number of the North
American Review, "a British Officer"
who had been at the front charged Cecil
Rhodes with the responsibility for the
South African war, and with inducing
Sir Redvers Butler to change the original
plan of campaign in such a way as to
bring upon the British army the reverscs
which it suffered a few months ago. In
the June number OF the Review, Princess
Catherine Radziwill, a friend of Mr..
Rhodes, resents those charges in spirit
ed paper, and warns the English people
that they cannot compass final settle
ment of the South African difficulty with
out the cooperation of the Colossus.
Says the Princess:
"Mr. Rhodes is the only man who can
in assuming power really WELD it, indie
pendently of political parties, or of min
listers with whom he may be obliged to
associate and work. The English public
must not mistake on that point; the
English Government must not think, as
/ believe it is led to do, that the prestige
of Mr.. Rhodes is as much shaken in
South Africa as it is in London where he
was only made much of while people
hoped to make money through him and
did so. The inhabitants of South Africa
know what they owe to the Colossus.
They are well aware that his generosity
has always helped those who applied to
it, that his ambitions have never been
for himself, that his work was always
entered into for the good of his country
or the benefits of civilization in general
They know that it is to his big mind
alone that is due the great idea and
principle of an Imperial Government
gathering round it and under its rule the
whole OF South Africa, uniting its two
races, protecting its black and colored
ones, and giving to this great Dark Con-
tinent the benefit Of its justice and its
laws, the shield of its flag and the re-
spect of the world, which, while it envies
and bitterly attacks England and its pol
itics, yet bows before its power and
might"

readily believe that the English gov
eminent has as able men in reserve
as are now at the front.
Now that Malta is one of the way
stations between New York and
Manila our flag is beginning to be
known in the Mediterranean and
the ships and the troops they
have carried have made a
most favorable impression on our
English friends. Remembering as |
do our civil war, it was pleasing to
find every state in our Union repre-
sented among the troops who were
going to uphold the honor of our
flag in our new eastern possessions.
1t told me that the wounds OF war
were soon healed and it will not be
long before the Dutch and the Uit-
landers will be smoking the pipe OF
peace in the lands just devastated by
the war. We have in Malta an ener-
getic United States Consul, Y. B.
Grout, a relative, | think, OF Con-
gresham Grout. Since he came to
Malta three years since he has done
much to introduce to English and
Maltese merchants a knowledge OF
our agricultural and manufacturing
products, and as a result we have
now a monthly steam service direct
from New York. 1t is a pity that
our government cOmpensates so
poorly for such efficient services.
There ought to be considerable
trade done at Malta in wheat, corn,
petroleum, cattle, canned fruits, and
at no distant day American coal
should take the place of that from
Cardiff. Even now American coal is
sold in Genoa at several shilings per
ton less than English coal. In a Bos-
ton paper (the Herald) of recent
date, have noticed since came on
this steamer an advertisement offer
ing a reward of "ten dollars" for
missing Maltese cat" Now as it
would be reasonable to conclude that
this feline specimen was worth twice

that of Malta and here are grown
the vegetables which supply our
market at Valletta. The magnificent
harbors of Malta give its Importance
to Valletta, the capital of the island,
and on it's less than 100 square miles
is population CT 100000. From
November to May the climate makes
Malta a popular winter resort and
the presence of so many war ships in
the harbor, and so many regiments
in the forts gives an unusual life to
our little island. The English take
with them their sports where ever
they go, and they have polo and
cricket and horse racing and golf, the
head center for all these games, the
Union Club, thoroughly English
institution, occupying one of the fin
est buildings of the old Grand Mas
tiers. The winter season has been
marked by a little less gaiety than
usual owing to the South African
war, but there has been no lack of
social life, especially since the strong
hands OF Lords Roberts and
Kitchener have been felt at the front,
making the victory of the British
arms a question of only a few
months at most.
You ask me what l think of this
South African war? have had the
leisure to read carefully the English
and the Boer side of this Transvaal
question and to me the war seems as
Just, as necessary and as unavoid-
able as our civil war. Kruger had
about as poor an idea of what con-
stitutes a genuine republic as JeHer
son Davis, and l think his success
would be as much of a blow to civil
cation as would have been the case
had the southern confederacy been
established at Richmond. The two
wars are marked by striking analo-
gies, and as out of the sacrifice of life
and treasure during the four years
struggle between Sumter and Apo
matox, there resulted the greatest
good to our country and the world,
so out OF this African war will come
a strength to England and blessing
to civilization which nothing else
could have secured. | have lived 10
years in an English colony, and if l
cannot live under my own flag, lpre-
fer that of my adopted home to any
other which floats, and what | have
seen of the English character during
the last eight months has only in
creased my admiration for it.
During the first months of the war
when each day brought news of re-
sources to the British arms the En-.
glish never lost their heads and never
for a moment doubted the final re-
suit, and when the sun began to shine
from out the clouds there was "Te
Deum" look on every face, but no
such hysterical manifestations OF
| Joy as l noticed last November in
Marseilles when the cables reported
the victories of the Beers. The hero
of Mafeking, Baden-P Powell, was for
a long time in Malta and we who
knew him then are not surprised at
the laurels he has won during that
long siege with which his name will
always be so brilliantly associated.
Our present Governor Sir Francis
Greenfell was in Egypt before filling
his present position and was the
Sirdar of the Egyptian Army before
Lord Kitchener. Those who were
intimate with him in Cairo tell me
that his hand was conspicuous in
planning the Khartoum campaign
and we who know him in Malta can
