CURRENT COMMENT.
Burlington,g Prestige Al stake.

The people Of Burlington are begin.
ming to realize that the enviable repu.
tation and prestige of our city will be
at stake in connection with our part
in the Champlain Terecntenary. The
matter is being emphasized by the state
press in a manner which leaves no room
Tor question on this score. The Lud.
low Tribune, for example, comments as
follows:
OF course Burlington win rise to the
occasion and cover herself with glory
in connection with the Champlain Ter
centenary. She is in position to SPLEEN
didly use an opportunity not only to
emphasize history, but to make a lit
tie history on her own account"
OF course our people win rise to the
occasion and do themselves proud.
Anybody who thinks to the contrary
has only to consider what failure TO
do so would mean in the eyes of the
whole country.--Burlington Free Press.

FOR NATIONAL PARK.
Contemporary Suggests That One Be
Made at Fort Ticonderoga.

Plans are already in active preparation
of the joint celebration next July by
Vermont and New York of the 300th an.
niversary of the discovery OF Lake Cham
plain. An article printed upon another
page will remind the reader how impor-
tant and intensely dramatic is the his
tory which the celebration should serve
to recall Champlain, Montcalm, Lord
Howe, Lord Amherst, Ethan Allen
these are but q few of the names that
suggest themselves and suggest in turn
the events in which their heroic bearers
participated, Yet while the time is still
months distant, II Is desirable to EN-.
phasize the one act by which the ami.
yersary may be most fittingly signalized.
The ruins of Fort TiconderOga, at the
foot Of Lake Champlain in New YORK
state, and the beautiful promontory on
which they stand, should be acquired
either By the state or by the nation,
preferably the latter, and maintained as
a public reservation or park. The prop.
erty is now under private ownership and
il is understood that il may be bought
az a reasonable figure. What may be-
come Of il If not thus acquired Is only
q matter Of conjecture; the natural beau
ty OF the spot might lead to its being
taken for exclusive private use as part
Of country estate or it might be desc.
Grated by the erection of summer cara
Yansery.
Fort Ticonderbga must always have Q
unique historical value through It's asso.
citation with both the conflict between
English and French for the mastery of
the continent and the later strife Of the
colonies for their independence. II thus
represents in a peculiar degree the two.
fold struggle through which the nation
emerged to life. Congress is about to
meet; a bill for the purchase Of Fort
Tieonderoga should be introduced early
in the session and pushed with such yigor
as to insure its passage this winter. In
this way, when The Champlain tereente.
nary il held il may be certain that the
erumbling ruins and battle-ground about
them are to be preserved as the common
property Of the nation, just as the his. (

ing which are inseparable from them are

Mrs. parmelee's Criticism.

Tha News has received the following
letter from Mrs Annette w Parmelee OF

soeiations II am sorry that you do not
consider subjects concerning women OF
sufiicient Importance to report. Some
day you will write us up as news Oh a
part with other matetrs May the day
hasten Yours for iusticei"
The News has written Mrs. Parmelee
as follows: 1--WE are al a loss to know
why YOU should address us a letter of
this character. We would advise you
to be sure of your facts. Matters con
corning the movement with which you
are identified have always received in
The News the attention. in both news
and editorial columns, that their imp0r-
lance merits, commensurate with other
matters"
ave do not know that there is any
thing to be added to that reply. The
eaual-suilraee or equal-sulfering ladies'
have our assurances of our most distin-
giished consideration. But everyone,
man or woman. wants to remember that
a very small object held close enough to
the eve will obscure the rest of the
whole world. 4 newspaper certainly
can't hold one object, however large, be.
fore its eye to the detriment Of its
perspective.
Why. bless YOU, Mrs. Parmelee. and
your cause in which you are 50 enthusi-
astic. It was only the other day that The
News said: III the women or Vermont
really want To vote, let them vote. say
we. But It is very doubtful whether
the majority Of them care Tor the fran.

March, 1865, expecting to stay only a
week for the accommodation of the gem
eral superintendent Of the Rutland and
Burlington raoroad. But his stay ex.
tended not only beyond the week but
up TO the day Of his death, and for the
greater part az his time he was station
agent for the railroad people a posi-
tion which he relinquished dozen
years or 20 ago,
Mr.. Marshall was the first general
dealer in coal in Middlebury and es-
iablished the first ice business for the
accommodation Of the general public.
Mr.. Marshall was not in any sense
an Office seeker, but he held some Of
tile most important local Offices, having
been for several years n number OF the
board Of trustees and for long period
member OF the school board for dis.

The queen. with one OF the princesses

small room She stood with her back TO
the window. wearing a long white veil
which, against the light. made an aureoie
around her. Addressing a few kind
words to me, to which in my embarrasS-
ment / made some inaudiblc answer. she
proceeded to pin the order (the Order OF
the Crown of India) on my left shoulder.
remember that my black velvet dress
was thickly embroidered with jet. SO
much so that the pin could find no hold.
and unwittngly the queen stuck 1t
straight into me. Although ike the Spar
tan boy ] tried to hide what I felt. sup
pose l gave a start. and the queen real
izng what she had done was much con-
cerned. Eventually the pin was put right
and / curtsied myself out of the royal
presence. As j reached the door her
majesty suddenly stepped forward. say
ing with a smile: "Oh. you have for
gotten the case" holding it out to- me At
the same time. This little touch of ma
ture relieved an otherwise somewhat for
