Here is what Mr.. Hall says

The following is the official record of the
receiving ship Vermont, received from the
Bureau of Navigation of the Navy Depart.
ment:
1.-THE United States ship Vermont was built
at the navy yard, Boston, Mass. Her keel
was laid In November, ISIS, and she was
launched Sept Il, lsis. She was fitte1 out at
the navy yard, Boston, in September, lSG!
She was then sent to Port Royal. 5. c., where
she remained until 1864, when she returned to
the navy yard, New York, and has been a re-
ceiving ship at the yard since Aug. II, 1853"
Capt. Snow her present commander, gives
the following additional facts She was a
gun ship.of-the line. her armament consist
ing of smooth bores, the heaviest OF which
were 80 .pounders. Soon after launching she
was put into commission during one OF oul
fisheries disputes with Great Britain, but
before she reached the seat of disturbance
the trouble was settled and she was therefore
put out OF commission. The most exciting
period of her experiences was from Feb. "a
1852, when she lost her sails and rudder of
Cape Cod in a heavy squall, till Apnl II fol
lowing, when, having been the object of in
tense anxiety and diligent search for severa
weeks, she was finally taken into Port Royal
From the foregoing 1t will be seen that the
Vermont's career has been very prosaic anC
does not present any very strong historic
reason for her preservation.
Why should the state of Vermont for
ever be debsrred from having her name
carried on the high seas by worthy
representative in order to preserve thi;

THE RECEIVING SHIP VERMONT"

+. II. Hall, of the American Scenic
and Historic Preservation society of New
York city, which society, we believe, has
brought about the saving of the Pal
isades Of the Hudson, writes TO the New
York Sun an authoritative statement of
the exact historical value of the old frig-
ate hulk, Vermont" which lot of
misguided enthusiasts are endeavoring
10 have the government preserve-name
and all-because of its historic
interest.
The people of Vermont have as much
reverence for souvenirs of glorious
past as any other state in the Union.
There is hardly a town Of any impor-
lance in the state which has not its col
lection, public or private, of articles of
historic value. If the water-logged hulk
now used as clearinghouse called by
courtesy receiving ship came with
in this category, we feel assured that the
state whose name the hulk bears would
be the first TO raise clamor for its pre-
servatlon. Up to this time the clamor
has not become absolutely deafening II
cannot be heard at all.
The "Vermont" not only has no his.
tory iustfying her preservation, but she
presents little if any semblance to a frig,
ate. All her upper works have been re-
moved and story-and.roOf covers the
hulk from stem TO stern. Her portfolio;
have been boarded up or are filed in a:
windows, and otherwise she resemble:
nothing so much as Just what she ha:
been for thirty-five years pasta floating
clearinghouse for naval recruits. Be
tween 5000 and 5000 sailors have been re
ceived here annually, living in the ole
hulk for few days while awaiting as
slgnment to government vessels. To b,
sure the boat might be restored to III
original appearance, if someone would
bear the expense; and there are obsolet,
cannon enough lying around in arsenal
to approximate her original armament
But as no sentiment attaches to the hulk
better-preserved one might be foun,
for the purpose, and complete new
frigate on the old lines be built.

Lord kitchener's report of Tuesday
contained the significant figures of 10
Beers killed and three wounded. In
civilized warfare the number OF
wounded is always very much greater
than the killed. The London papers
raised the cry short time ago that the
Beers were killing the British
wounded. An escaping robber often
cries "Stop thief" to distract attention

The marked deterioration in the quality
of Rudyard Kipling's recent literary work
is the subject of general comment. The
reviewers are slashing him right and left
and are giving many subtle explanations
of the cause of the decline. The truth of
it appears to be that the fire of Kipling' 5
genius has burned less brightly since he
left Brattleboro, Vt, and ceased to reside
within the New England pie belt. His
genius needs to be fed on pie.
