Kimball called the company to order and Mild Latin's and (ieutlemen of the Urooklyn Society of Vermonters and our guels I leonif ou to this fe-live board. This H letv wa- organized, as were many others m dill'i lent cities throughout tho I'niled Si'ili for the purno-o of social enjoyment and in cultivate a inure cordial union of in t list in our native State and its institutions among not only those who were born in the I icon Mountain Stat '.but also tliose who liv ri-Klcnto and association take undo in claiming to be A'ernionters, and those who are so fortunate as to hale married Ver mont girl. So Inr the society has been a u c -sand I congratulate ou on the cir umstanccs of coidiality and hapiiine un der which wo are permitted to conic to gether again to-night, our fourth reunion ns asicict. 1 heard u man say in a lecture the other evening that there were certain k uple lio never made bigger fools of tliem eli sover any one thing, than they did over the fact that they were born in A'ir gnua. A lady itting near mo asked if I uppoed they were oio than Vonnontcrs. ermonter everywhere are noted for boast ing of their native State, and it may lie not always pleasant for other to heir mi much said of what has the appearance of egotism, but it has been a pr.itllieation to me, time and again, to huvo natives of other States at our Vermont home, and alter they had enjoyed tho grand scenery, its mountains and beautiful fertile valleys, the purest water and bracing atmosphere, they would come away with sincere regret, full of en thusiasm, loud in their praises, even out doing Vermonters themselves. Another year has gono by quickly, and it has been an eventful one in many respects. A great fin ancial storm hnsswetit the country like a hur ricane. As the (ireen Mountains break the force of the whirlwinds of nature, so this great disaster seems to have been avert ed on the borders of the State. More than VOdStnto banks and more than 100 national batiks have suspended in other Stutes,but not one in tlic State of Vermont. The tanners have been blet with a bountiful harvest and the merchant with a pro-porous year. Tho manufacturing interest, lias suffered some, but not to any great extent, the people generally conservative and prudent, borrow ing and oing little have felt tho great de prc'sion least of any State. The other side of il ' picture, as a national event, was tho ' ni'ld's fair, or the C'olumliiun exhibition at ( hicugo. (irand in it conception, beyond anything ever before attempted in tho w n'ld. and magnificent in its completion Mini Us success, nil tho nation of the world camo together in friendly competi tion, ns did al-o the different State, with e ill other. In thi it is gratifying to us, that our great Empire State took 6lie lead, but that our loved Vermont, held her high position in those things in which she has n v, and her marble and granite quarries long excelled, ns honn by her exhibit nl her manufactures, eperiully scale and organs, in which sho has long en joyed u iiorld-wido reputation, and in which she still maintains her suprem are tho finest quality and the most, extensive. Of tho -Hi premiums awarded. all told, for horses. the A innont Alorgan took 2(1. We have beforo be.iten the world in our dairy products, in our exhibits in Vienna and l'nris. and wore equally successful in Chicago. Our maple sin. ar and pretty girls were exhibited to ge'.her, and, a Sa:;osa,is ''both wero ex- t lingly sweet." In fact all her exhibits were highly sueeoisful and a credit to tho State. U'e never had greater reason to lie thankful and proud of our noblo State, her institutions, and her men and women, at home alone, or when she is brought side by side with her siter States. Then let this lie our thanksgiving daj . Of nil the days of our youth, in our Vermont home, wo renicin mt that ns the bet, wli"ii the families got together for a reunion, a good dinner and a good time. Alter tho health of tho president had been drunk bv the company standing, Col. Kim bail read a letter from Senator Morrill stal 'ng that he was conlined by a ei ere cold, mid regretting hi inability to keep hi promise to intend, anil introduced RoiiielKi. llorr, who responded In the toast, "A Small but Mighty i'eople." lie said in part: It lias lung been considered an axiom in physical science that ' other I hiugs lining i 'pal, size is the measure of power" Tho misleading jmrt of thi statement is to be loiiud in that other things .seldom are equal. .Mai i.i moil iiavo lis oil and died nltli a brain ns large as ( '.mvii-r or Daniel Webster mid jet haio m ier had uu.v mental power abole t lio3o ot an ordinai'.i Hottentot.

Vermont ha? only about 11.100 (.qunro miles, nnd those can bo lncnsured only by tho ttsu of Instru ments and mathematical calculation1! which determine areas that cannot bo reached with compass and chain. Jteiv York is five times aa largo ns the State of Vermont. You can cut the little State of Vermont out of Toxns "7 times ami then havo edging enough left to niuko another State ns largo as Connecti cut nnd Rhode Island combined, And yet who would not rather have been born in Vermont, than In Texas? When a person says '! was born in Vermont," that means something. The statement carries with II a definite idea. One says instantly "There is a person who mis actual ly born somewhere." N'o confusion ns to locality follows such a statement, when I my "I was born in Vermont'' there is nothing vague about that statement. 1 remember a year ago nt your anniversary, Mr. l'helps, ex-minister to the court of St. .lames, attempted to explain tho intense love of A'ermonters for their nntivo State, upon the theory tliata country full of moun tains, where people halo to struggle In or der to live at all, always develops In its peo ple an intense fcelingof locnl lovo nnd local pride' There is no doubt somen hat of truth in that theory. Rut lie admitted another fact that must be included to fully account for tho intense hue of A'ornionters for the place of their birth, and that is the size or the State itself. It is not so largo ns fo de stroy one's identity, and identity is the mother of intensity. A poison with healthy. active nlrections can spread himself nil over thn State of A'ennont without any patches getting so thin as to lead to uncomfortnhlu exposures. In travelling over tho United States I have noticed that the people of A'ennont arc more completely American than the people of almost any other Northurn State. Rhode Island, Connecti cut and Massachusetts have had such an immense inllux of foreigners Hint the pe.iplo of those States are no longer purely Americans. Th" Xew England diameter has been modified in those States by coming in contact and mixing with tho people front the old woild. There is comparatively little of that in Vermont, (in where you will in tho (liven Mountain State, you coino across new editions of Molly Stark and Ethan Al len, unmixed with Iiish, Italian, d'erman or Hungarian. Tho New England strain sur viies in all its purity. Katheis and mothers are both of re i nlutionary stock. True, their sons and daughters are crowded out into the Western States and marry ami intermarry with the rest of the world, lint at home a A'ennont man marries a A'erniont girl and in that way the A'erniont characteristics ar1 still picscried. The people of the New Eng land Slates as a whole havo their distin guisliiiig characteristics. To boa Now Eng land A'ankee means n good deal. Rut to bo a A'ennont A'ankee at once suggests a con densation of business tact, firmness, inde pendence and line of country coupled with moderation and modesty. This gives to A'er niont character a sort of crowning glory. in introducing the next speaker I'rosideut Kimball said: The earlier settlers of A'erniont had a keen realization of the importance of higher edu cation. In 1 till, tho. same year that the State was admitted to the I'liion, n charter was granted by the Legislature for a college and about 30,000 acres of land given for its support. It is fair to presume that as they called it the University of A'ennont it would bent tho head of the highest educa tional institutions of tho State, from the meaning of the word university nn assem blage of colleges, branches of learning, tho arts, science?, theology, medicine, law. etc., etc. In 1SII0 Middlelmry college was char tered; although without State support, it has Ik on well cared lor by its alumni, nnd for nearly a century has done noble work. Two years ago we had the president of the I'liiiersity of A'erniont with us. East year wo expected the president of Middlobury college, but wero disappointed perhaps we may yet havo that honor. This year the picsider.t of the alumni of Norwich univer sity lias kindly, eoicented to tell us some thing of it ninl its graduates. (en. (. M. Dodge, president of the nl uinui of .Norwich uniieisity. responded to tho toast "A'ennont, the oll-pringof contro versy and war." (Son. Dodge spoke of four yours of his boyhood spent in A'erniont at Norwich uniier.sity ond said he had to thank A'ennont lor the lessons of order and pcise leruuce learned there. He said A'ennont furnished tho highest iercentagu in propor tion to population of any Slate of soldiers in the civil war. This he attributed to the military training of thn sons of A'erniont at Norwich university, long the only military school in tbo North except West Point, and which had a larger roster in the civil wnr than any unierity in the country. During the war so many undergraduates enlisted that for twojears the university had no commencement, (ion. Dodge gave the war roster of the university in detail and quoted compliments paid the university by (iens. llrant and Sheridan. The Rev. ('. H. 1'ay was intioduced as the oldest graduate of Norwicli university. Ho illustrated tho spirit of A'ennont by tiie story of tho little man, who, w lien nsked how much lie weighed, replied, "Not much ordinarily, but when I'm innd 1 weigh a Ion." Hiram I!. Steele responded to tho toast, "A'ennont As is her wont, when called to any good work, sho leads the way." He said in part: It is quite impossible to Inirly discuss tho record of A'erniouters, either at home or abroad, A'ermonters in the war or in civil life, without recalling facts and character istics which have a tendency to make u nil pi oud of the (ireen Mountain state, and proud of the stock from n hich wo nro de scended. This record is no secret; it is a part of tho hitory of this country, and 1 nssinnu that it is on account of this honor olilo pride Hint this society was formed and wn ore hero to-night. According to recent eeu-us returns more than Vi jier cent of all nntivo born Vermonters living to-day reside in other parts or tho country; so it becomes inii ortant and should bo gratifying to know that, as n general rule, A'ermonters huvo made a splendid record outside of A'erniont It has been charged that what A'ermonters are most proud of is, not that they live in A'ennont, but Hint they are from A'ennont. I do not admit the truth of this assertion, but if thcio i any foundation for it, it may bo explained hi the fact that A'ermonters II in I on leaving home that where a man says he is from A'criiiout he makes a prima facie case of respectability, entitling him to tho esteem and cniilidcucu of his fellow men. This prima I'aeie showing may ho overcome by evidence, but there is a stroui; presump tion in his faior lici . T. 1'. l'rosl came all tho way from Raltimore to speak for the wins uiiddaugli tors. He said in part: When it was iniiiuuted tome that 1 might huic the honor of speaking a few nurd, at tills gathering concerning The Ladles" in gen eral and the women of Vermont hi particu lar, I begun fo .search such A'erniont Ilteru tuio a happened to U. available after soiuu iiiulel lal for a speech I found mention of the huues, the oxen the wild aiiiinul ol Wiinont but u.it one wuhI ul.uiit the Women ot the Stale W c iicVrr til e ot IV counting Hie deeds of Iho (liven MouiitHlli boiii. It is true that thei were hardy piou corn, sturdy patriot i, brave soldiers! but what niiido It worth their effort to clear nwny forests, dig stumps, pile rocks, shoot. Hesslnns nnd duck' meddlesome gentlemen from Now Yorkr Whnt mndo life worth living in thoso inliospilnbli) regions' AVhy, the Mime thing which makes this dinner jm moasurnbly sujierlortonny dinner of tlioNew England Society of Urooklyn, namely, tH; presence of (IreotiMouutain girls. Andagaln, no must not forget that the women of A'er niont hnvodono wlint llurgoyno could not do at Reimlngton or Saratoga, what 1'rovost and Downlo could not do ut I'lattsburg, nnd what Leo could not do at (icttysbiirg, they have repeatedly whipped the Green Moun tain boys. And 1 lie superiority of those fnir conquerors is evidenced by the kind of weap on with which they did" it. If anything could mako one believe in the literal resur rection of the body il would bo the ministry of n mother's hand. There is nothing of fensive in the thought that n band which had consumed is own beauty and strength in servlco for others ought, to bo mndo in corruptiblo nnd live forever. Fame nnd for tune nwait tho person who shall write a book that shall do practical nnd poetical justice to the women of A'erniont. Accord ing to n widely accepted doctrine the great cities rule tho nation and the political bosses rule the cities. According to another doc trine tho inllux of country life is tho strength and salvation of the city nnd the rural homo is the controlling force in country lire. What comfort it would lav to our souls if we could only believe that the country homo is a greater power than the city boss in shaping the real destinies of tlic nation. Re this as it may, if any man will make a list of the hundred greatest Americans, selecting them according to his own judgment, and will study tho lii-sl thirt.l yenrs of each life, be fore he reaches the end of the list' lie will be thanking God for the country homo and for woman, its guaidian angel. 1 may be permitted to say that I have been under tho uninterrupted influence of tho A'erniont schoolma'ain since I was five years old. She taught, inspired and chas tised me in childhood. Later I went coast ing, sleigh riding and skating with her, es corted her to picnics, donation parties and singing schools, and climbed some of the (ireen Mountains with her. I had the honor of being superintendent of schools in two A'erniont towns, visited every school ns often ns the lull' ullowcdjiind uaspuid by tho Slate for those attentions to sclioolma'ams. Xi r is that all: 1 had the good sen-o to woo n A'ennont schoolma'ain several years and tho good lortuue to marry her at last, and have been under her genial sway for A summers and IS winter, and in such circumstances "lleceialier is a plcas.int as Mii." If any man is prepared to render a jilt verdict upon the schoohna'nm I am. and I pronounce her to be the handsomest, brightest, wittiest, sauciest, wiest, firmest, provokingest, bewilchingest. kindest, purest, nobh st gift ci or bestowed iifcu mini. Sho is not yel extinct, I am happy to say Evo lution stands aghast when it encounters a A'erniont sclioohnu'uiii. It may bo possible fo evolve something better, but the thing has not yet been done. She is equal to all labors and emergencies. Sho can board around, and not only survive, but grow in grace ei cry day. Sho can arise in the morning in a room where the temperature is degrees below zero. If tbo best typo of A'ennont women could be made universal throughout tho country, and perpetuated to the end (jf time, our future would lie safe. Anarchism would die, socialism would bo born again, and oven the tarill' would bo adjusted to the needs of Ilia people rather than of the politicians. AVe are happy in the laith that the women of A'erniont are holding their own. AVliile visiting the State lust summer 1 remarked to a physician on the cast side: "The char acter of the population is changing, I un derstand, Quito n large foreign element coming in, is there not !" "Well, yes," he replied, "some foreigners coming in. but upon the whole Hie character of tho people is imnroving." That puzzled mo at first, but after a month of observation I had read tho secret. AVhilo it is true that many of tho bright boys leave the State, most of the girls stay. That accounts for the fact that A'erniont can give to other States the cream of their population without depleting the eneigies of the home stock. Although n pretty cheap fellow may como from Canada or Massachusetts and marry a A'ennont girl, tho average of the new family is higher than tho family average of any other State in the I'liion. Tho bride brings it up. She brings the bridegroom up, too. She exer cises over him an inlluenco like that ot Lo renzo Dow upon a musician at a country dance. It appears that the eccentric preach er hud stopped for tho night at a rurnl tavern where a dance was to be held. Ho was invited to pnvticipato and consented, but, just as the exercise was about to oegiii begged the privilege or saying u few words, told tho company that it was his custom to begin all new undertakings with prayer, dropped to his knees and began to pray. After some general supplication for tho eonipaui lie concentrated his attention upon the fiddler. Ho depicted that per-on's sin and danger, and finally cried, "Convert him, Lord, convert him or kill him." Not being prepared to die, tho fiddler accepted the oilier alternative. Now, when a A'ennont damsel marries an ordinary individual from some other region, she either conceits him into .1 creditable A'eriuonter, or the survival of fiio fittest adds another person to tho list of churming widows. The women of A'ennont nothing is too good good for tliem. Thoy could safe ly lie trusted with anything that man holds dear, oven with the ballot. Hut ot how small importance is woman suffrage oneway or tho other in coinpurison with woman hood. To barter tho bloom of the latter for the politics of tho former would bo bad icsthetics, worse economies mid a morn nus cniblo bargain iu every way than Yankees liavoiet made. lint wo may dismiss all teal's on that score. Such a bargain never will lici mndo for tho simple reason that American women never can be pei siiuded to coiisunnnato their part of it. 1 her need neither to lie patronized nor regulated by men. The man who exerts himself to keep women in her sphere is getting out of his own sphere. omen need no ad vice nor assistance from men to keep them iu their sphere.
