VAN ALIENS EXPERIMENT.
Negro Servant at Northamptonshire
County House.

The failure of James ]. Van Allen,
who tried to add to the picturesqueness
of his Northamptonshire establishment
by introducing negro servants in Rush
ton Hall, will cause more amusement
than surprise in America.
According to London dispatch to
the Courier-J ournal, Mr.. Van Allen EN-
ploved a cook and a butler of Afro
American stock and fine compile xion. 10
make long story short, the white SER
wants badgered the negroes till they
were afraid to eat or 90 to bed. The
master of Rushton Hall found he WASH t
master of the situation, and the negroes
were discharged.
That it should occur to Mr.. Van Allen
to import negroes to create in a North
hamptonshire country house the at
mospheren of an ante-bellum establish
ment in the South, is not astounding.
The negroes would probably, have en-,
loved the plav immensely. For small
addition to their wages they would
cheerfullv have called Mr. Van Allen
"Marse Jim - and sworn to having " be-
longed to the Van Aliens before the
war. The American negro has pen
chant for acting and is never so happy
as when he is part of show. He's lust
as fond of vain display as Mr.. Van Allen.
But, alas, alack and well-aday, the Brit
iSh servants would NOT stand Tor SHOW
such as Mr.. Van Allen planned.
There was once upon time an estab-
lishment in which negroes did not suit,
and the situation was described as fol
lows:
"We We scrubbed the negroes till we We
nearly killed 'em.
And, finding that we cannot wash them
white,
We mean to gild 'em.
Whether or not the negroes in that
case objected or submitted to being gid
ed in order that they might meet re-
ouirements, we don It recall. At any
rate, the intention expressed in, the last
line was no more ridiculous than Mr.
Van Allen s effort to improve upon, the
British servant with servants whose

have the parcels post, and make the

removal of the 81 feet of mud at the bot

more evidence of a tremendous exterior ex-

pear to have been forced up 40 feet to
where they are now visible, bearing out the
findings of the experts who appeared be-

citizens of West Brattleboro for an elec-

acted upon favorably and the light will be

slightly as it calls for the laying out OF

tending from Pine street to the road lead
ing from South Main street to the Catho.

for a street from the Catholic ceme-
terv road to Oak Grove avenue in
stead of from Pine street to Oak Grove
avenue The building of about 600 feet OF
sewer on Western avenue from Bonneyvale
road toward this village was discussed for
over an hour. 1t will be necessary, if the
future is taken into consideration, to relay
about 400 feet of the old sewer with II

for that distance is of S-inch pipe: The Sc
