Rev F. A. johnson preached on Sum
day morning an excellent sermon, ap-
prOpriate to the coming of our Nation
al holiday and while rejoicing in our
great prosperity pointed out some of
special dangers which beset US. His
words were calculated to impress the
bearer with sense of our great re-
spOnsibility and emphasized our en-
tire dependence upon Higher Power
which should never be forgotten. The
use Of patriotic hymns sung to familiar
tunes added much to the patriotic
was that in consequence OF the rain
only a small audience was present to
take part in the service.
On account of Friday being Inde-
pendence day, the preparatory lecture
before Communion was held on Thurs
day afternoon at 2.3O O'Clock. At the

LETTER TO E. n. THOMAS,
MIDDLEBURY, VT

Dear Sir: Suppose you are going to
paint house, and ask all the painters
there are within reach to bid on it-you
to furnish materials, they TO say what to
use, and charge for time and the know
how.
How many will use the same paint d?
They, generally, will compound their own
paints.
There will be no two alike. And this is
the end of the notion that painters know
how to make paint.
They know how to put paint on; and
that is their business.
They ought to know what to buy. How
many of them know what to buy
A blacksmith buys nails, because better
shoes and nails than he can make are
made for less than he can make them for
-by machinery. Wagonmakers buy
wheels. because better wheels than tit )
can make are made for less than they can
make ;hIm for-by machinery.
Why should painter make his own
paint, when he can buy better for less
We take the risk of how 1t turns out, be-
sides. DevOe lead aud zinc is the paint /;
lasts twice as long as the average paint
er's paint-lead and oil.
Yours truly,
Sc +. W. DEvOE & Co.

Is, literally as well as metaphorically,
tall In the air." Beyond this they learn
nothing, and no experiments have ever
proved anything, not evenapproximately
except that the air cannot be navigated
as ships do the ocean.
Now suppose that the Frenchman's
scheme of bringing a balloon back to the
starting point could be realized, chi bono?
1t would not be of the least practical
use, and reminds one of the tramps who
used to get nights lodging, with heat
and light thrown 10, on the New York
elevated trains, for a nickel, by starting
from the Battery, getting out at 10th
street, where up and down trains could
be entered from the same platform,
returning to the Battery, where same
conditions prevail, and repeating the
process all night for one fare. There
was really more utility in this scheme,
because it was economical for the tramp
at least, than in a round trip in balloon,
which would be found very expensive.
| We beg the Herald no further to use its
influence to excite our sensible citizens
regarding these mountebank fiascos. If
it will, on the other hand, induce M.
Dumont to invent balloon by which he
will travel so far away that he will never
return, that Will be another thing.

The refusal of five million dollars by
the Trinity Church corporation of New
York city for the site of st. Paul's
Chapel and graveyard, and the assurance
by its officials that the land cannot be
purchased for any consideration, makes
pleasant reading. OF course the land is
wanted for sky-scraping office build
ing, its proximity to the money marts
making it very desirable for the purpose.
This country has too few spots dedicated
to sentiment, and where they are found
it too often happens that inutility rather
than sentiment has prompted their pre-
servaton Had the Trinity corporation
accepted the offer made, that church
would be five million dollars richer in
gold that it does not need, and as much
poorer in tangible evidences of an his
toric past as is related in the following
brief sketch from the New York Sun {:
The cornerstone of st. Paul's Chapel
was laid in 1854, and two years later the
church was opened. 1t was to st. Pau's
that PRESIDENT washington, on the uay
of his Inauguration, went with the rep
resentative men of the new nation to at
tend divine service. Directly opposite
Washington's pew, which is Istill pre-
served, is the pew that was occupied by
Governor Clinton, and back of the
chancel is the monument bought in
France by Benjamin Franklin to COM
memorate the bravery of Maior-Gen.
Richard Montgomery, who fell before
Quebec crying, MEN of New York, you
will not fail to follow where your gen
eral leads '" And the names that are
carved on the stones in the old grave
yard outside recall men who played a
gallant part in their day.
