THE DECLINE Of new ENGLAND.
Some Few Of those who ineited
War Against the south are Now
Suffering from its Effects.

..The New York Sun in an article
son the decline of New England recites
an anecdote recently told by gen.
tleman who had visited the State of
Vermont, which is as follows:
GO I was the guest Of venerable old
gentleman, who had been born in
the house in which he was then living,
as had his father. He took great
pleasure in driving me about the
country and pointing out its former
greatness and prosperity. On one OF
our excursions he pointed out several
spots in the course of: few hours
drive where there, had been school
houses In his boyhood days; where
there had been thrifty farms and COM
modius farm houses, but now marked
by abandoned and decayed ruins.
"Coming from the..West as I did,
where improvement is- the rEie, !
expressed surprise at the general
decadence, when he rathetically re-
marked; 'tThe war Of the rebellion
was the greatest disaster that ever
happened to Vermont. Our young
men and horses went into the army
and they never geturned-tos stay "
sIt issrasher surprising Ito hear at
this late day that the devastation and
loss caused by the civil war was not
confined to- the south alons. but; that
New England also suffered great losses
from which shs has, not yet recovered,
while the Southern States are richer
than they have ever been in their his
tory, and are far advanced on the
highway of progress. With the aban
doned farms and depressed manufacture
ing industries Vermont and other New
England States are described as being
in a bad way indeed. but there is
little reason to hops that their condi-
ton will improve so long as they sup
port the 'stand- pat" tariff policy OF
the Republican party which deprives
their manufacturers OF the benefit OF
free raw materials and an opportunity
to extend the foreign trade so essential
to the prosperity and expansion OF
their industries.
It was in New England that the
movement was born and nurtused
which resulted in the civil war, the
freeing of several million slaves, and
reconstruction which completely i'm
poverished the vanquished south.
Now that New England should be dis
astrously hurt by the result of her
own work seems to be the irony of fate
and most painful retribution. How
ever. it may be that in time Vermont
and her sister States will find more
prosperity in becoming Democratic
than adhering stubbornly to Republi-
can policies that are fastening the ruin
of their industries and the decrease OF
their population.

I.aEes Of Blood.

The name Lake Of Blood or its equiv
alent has been given to places as far
apart as England and South America.
"Sanguelac'-i. e., the Lake of Blood
was the name given by the victo-
rious Normans to the battlefield at Hast
ings. where the Saxons were over
thrown and slain With terrible carnage.
For similar reason Lake Traslmene
has borne the name "Sanglnetto De-
cause its waters were redeemed during
the second Punic war by the blood or
some $4,000 Romans who fel! before
the troops of Hannibal.
Yet another Lake Of Blood, called
also "Yaguar Cocha," is situated IN
tie state oi Ecuador. 1t is one OF a
series Of lakes formed by the extinct
r-aters of volcanoes on the towering
heights of the Andes range Of noun

4 new CHINESE TREATY.
It is Expected to be More Liberal
i'm its Conditions as TO Admit
ting Chinese Into this
Country.

Washington, March 2l.-A new
treaty, regulating the admission OF
Chinese into the United States is in
preparation. The existing treaty,
which vas made by Secretary Gresham
and Minister Yu in 1894, will expire
next December by limitation. While
much reticence is observed at present
as to the lines upon which the new
convention is being framed, there is
reason to believe that it will be more
liberal in the treatment Of Chinese
wishing to enter the United States,
when they are not actually in the
coolie class, than the existing treaty.
Provision may be made also for the
entry of Chinese laborers into the
Panama Canal strip. though this is
NOT certain. An attempt also has
been made to avail Of this opportunity
TO make more extensive use of Chinese
labor in she Philippines.

Music the Kernel of Welsh Nature.

Music the Kernel Of Welsh Nature
Music is the very soul and kerne! OF
the Welsh nature. 4 musical ear is the
national birthright. Every Welsh
preacher who migrates to an English
church finds the greatest difficulty ID
abstaining from that weird, peculiar
intonaticn Of his sermon which IS
known as the hwyl and which is often
strange and Objectionable to English
ears.
\ remarkable and subtle fact which
will be interesting to English readers
and at the same time significant OF the
sensitiveness Of the Welsh musical ear
Is that it is positive discord to many.
among the Welsh congregations If the
minister, in giving out the first verse
of the hymn, does not so pitch his voice
that it shall be in harmony with the
key in which the tune has preilmlna-
rily been played by the instrumentaAsS
