A FEW QUERIES.

A reason offered by England to her
people in justification of the present
South African war is that the Beers eek
to drive the British out of the country
and fedPrate the whole of South Africa
under Boer rule. This apparently did
very well as "A bogy with which to stir
up patriotism in cause which could not
but have been repugnant to the great
body of honest, liberty loving com.
mJnality of England. But let US see
how fir the government of England
dew upon facts for this assumption of
Buer intention. 1t it were tue, would
MIR. Reiiz, the present TranSvaal secre-
tary of state, have declined the presi.
dency of the Orange Free State and in
turn offered it to Sir George Grey, an
Englishman and the father of British
imperialism? Would the two little re-
puolics, after the Jameson raid. have
requested England to administer the
governmen MT of Rhodesia direct, instead
of leaving ii in the hands of the East
Africa company with the chance of its
being eventually annexed TO the repub
lies? Would the Transvaal have offered
to send troops TO the relief Of British
settlers in 'Rhodesia on the occasion of
the uprising of the natives a few years
ago: The Cape parliament has for u
number of years had Dutch majority
and the Afrikander Iund is by all odds
the strongest party politically at the
Cape. If the Dutch planned the fedora
ton Great Britain claims they were
scheming to establish, would the Dutch
party and majority in the parliament
have carried through an appropriation of
Slj0.000 annually for the support of the
British navy?
Great Britain points to secret armament
of the Transvaal as irrefutable proof that
the little republic has been planning the
coup. An extremely logical deduction
when we recall the Jameson raid and the
deliberate faithessness shown by the
British home government when the
Beers delivered up the raiders to be tried
in England

My DEAR MIR EDITOR Il suppose vGu
have noticed that the grosbeaks are with
us again. They pay us visit about
every winter now. They are an interest
irg bird, and their whistling call makes IA
pleasant variety these sharp winter
mornings. They like the evergreen
cones especially. but | see them very
often in the naples. where they make
the buds and twigs fly in a lively wav.
| wonder if they do not relish the eggs
of the tent caterpillar, which are de-
posted in ring around the maple
twigs? | hope so. The grosbeak is "a
little larger and chunkier than the robin,
and mainly gray in color, though the
male-of course-is spruced up with a
gayer colOring of red or rose pink on
his breast, on his head and about his
wings. They probably find the weather
very severe in their own home now-the
Hudson Bay country-And like to come
further south.
BY the way, Mr.. Editor, to change the
subject, the feathers make me think of
hats, and that makes me think of that

and variegated specimens of head gear
disappear from my range of vision.
What nuisance! And no r0isOn detre,
except that they always have worn them.
These head adornments are much II ore
annoying on level floor than in the
regular theatre, where they have long
been taboOed. For in the theatre the
floor is sloping, and it is easier to see
over heads. However, good thing
only needs an suspicious start to succeed,
and hats will doubtless be conspicuous
for their absence at our first-class enter
tainments.
But, aud here | diverge again, Mr..
Editor, the ladies must be accorded the
same privileges as the men, if ever they
have to come to town meeting. At the
last village meeting, as at numerous
other meetings of town and village, the
hail was so cold that the legal voters of
the village of MiAdlebury huddled to-
gether with their hats on and overcOat,

The Proposed Cornwall Rural ID livery.
There is considerable speculation In
regard to the proposed rural delivery
route through Cornwall, and considerable
misconception as to its purport. 1t Is
not the desire of the promoters of the
scheme to discOmmOde one class to
accommodate another, but that all NAV
be benefited. As is well known, Corn
wall is a long town, and those residing
at the extreme north and sou h are put
TO great Inconvenience 10 procure their
daily mail. The first project was that
one carrier do the entire work This
would necessarily delay the mail one
day, which would not be desirable
After due consideration the plan was
presented 10 the pOstoillce department
that two routes be established With two
carriers leaving Mlddlebury upon the
arrival of the southern mall, one taking
the route through Cornwall Center south
into Whiting. the other viz the Fair
bridge near X. a. Foot IL Sons, thence
south through West Cornwall to
Whiting, delivering the mail as they go
out and returning to Mlddlebury the
same night or next morning, as shall be
Middlebury at 3 30 or / o'clock can
make his deliveries and return if he
chooses that night by from to 10 o'clock,
thus giving him full half day to devote
to his private business, and materially
reduce the cost to the department., so
that the pay of the two carriers will be
but little more than the one doing the
whole work. The petition has been re-
ceived at Washington aud is now on file
at the postofflce department to be acted
upon In due time. ID.

Those who have Rheumatism find
