EDITORIAL y'OTKS.
The pun-Americans having made the
circuit of large cities and visited a large
miniberofinaiiiifactiiriiigcstalilishnieiits
returned to Washington last week and
the sessions of the Congress were re
sumed. The Urazilian delegates, how
ever, found themselves in an embarras
sing position, and if we understand cor
rectly withdrew from the Congress.
They came as the representatives of an
empire, but the empire they represent
ed is a thing of the past. They express
themselves as not quite able to under
stand the movement tlfttt has taken
place in so peaceable and gulden p. man
ner. It is said that their withdrawal
relieves Secretary Maine from an em
barrassing position as he could not find
a stenographer in the country who was
able to report in lxith the English and
Portugese languages. The result of
this Congress will, be to bring the re
publics of the new world into a position
to understand each other better, and to
enlarge the market for our manufac
ture. European countries are now
occupying the field, and there is no
good reason why this country should
not reach out and take a min-h larger
portion than it now holds.
We have received a letter from a
well-known professional gentleman of
the State tillering for sale for 81000 a
farm of 2'j0 acres. The farm contains
a fair amount of tillage, comfortable
buildings, has unite a number of fruit
trees, lxith pear and fpple, is situated
onlv two miles from a village in which
are churches and schools and stores, a
hotel to which summer boarders resort
in large numbers, and is ten miles from
railroad station. There is no deny
ing the fact that it is a back farm, but
not so far back that one cannot drive
out easily and quickly on a good road.
If we mistake not this farm has been
on the market for years at the same low
price, and yet young men from the
town in which it is situated have chos
en to pass it by and try their fortunes
in Dakota and elsewhere, some witn
poor success as the result has proved.
How shall we explain tins.' I here is
always something more attractive in a
new country than in an old one, and
from the very Winning in this country
the tide has moved towards newer re
gions. This will be the case until these
newer regions arc occupied. All that
we can do is to persuade as many as we
can that Vermont is just as good as any
State, that the resources oi her soil are
not exhausted, and that the same am
ount oi hard hilior and self-denial here
as in the newer west will bring as full
returns.
In conversing with a gentleman the
other day who has recently retired from
buMiK'in a Maa-hetts city and
settled upon a Vermont farm, regard
in" the present effort to boom Vermont,
he"seemed to think that the tendency of
the present movement was to set forth
the poverty of the Mate and carry a
false impression to outsiders regarding
the real worth of the State. He thought
that the other side should be dwelt up
on more fully. He suggested that the
State appropriate 10,000 tor the pub
lication of a fully illustrated ltook set
ting forth the resources of the State and
illustrating its scenery. He thought
that such a book circulated in the cities
among merchants and men of leisure,
would attract attention and bring about
the sale of many places for country res
idences. He thought that the people
of the cities knew but little Hliout Ver
mont, the attractiveness of its climate
and scenery, the healthfulness of its
mountain air, etc., and that with an
increasing knowledge of these things
they would be drawn more and more
towards the State. While we may not
fully agree with him in regard to the
first matter, we fall in with the sugges
tion he made. Such a method of ad
vertising must have its advantages and
bring people and business to the State.

It has not escaped notice that while
towns for the sake of securing manu
facturing industries vote to exempt
them from taxation for a term of years
no town ever thinks of taking such a
vote in regard to a farm. Every inch
of laud must be taxed, every improve
ment that a man mukes on his land in
creases the burden of taxes and there is
no respite. We hardly know how the
towns could help things in this direc
tion and do no injustice to any one, and
yet there ought not to be complaint if
some of these abandoned farms be ex
empted from taxes for a year or two,
as an inducement to their occupancy.
Present loss cannot be much, and in
most cases whatever hiss there may la
will come back in a short time in an
increased value of the land for purposes
of taxation. The suggestion is a good
one, and we hope some of the towns
will take the matter into consideration
at their town meetings next Spring.
We find no fault with the effort to en
courage manufactures, but let us en
courage agriculture also. These two
branches of industry will help each oth
er, and both need pushing within our
borders. In either case the scheme is
to help in the present for the sake of
future pains.
ROMAN CATHOLICS.
Among current events may be men
tioned the Catholic Centennial just held
in Baltimore to commemorate the es
tablishment of the Catholic church in
the United States. No similar assem
blage in all history has exceeded it in
boldness of thought and utterance. The
ceremonial in the Baltimore Cathedral
attended by men of wealth, rank, and
learning from all parts of the country,
even of the world, suggests by contrast
the weak condition of the Catholic
church in this country a century ago.
Most of the enrlv colonists were lTot-
estauts, Protestants with a pronounced
hatred of the church from winch they
had separated. Accordingly, while
these several sects had considerable
strength at the close of the revolution
ary war, the Catholics were scattered
and feeble, perhaps, except iu Mary
land. His Holiness, Pius VI issued a bull
creating the hierarchy of the United
States, Nov. 6, 17H9, and appointing
John Carrol first bishop of Baltimore,
with Episcopal jurisdiction extending
over all the territory comprised in the
Federal Union. The then Catholic
population was estimated at only 40,000
or l-100th of the 4,000,000 then in
this country. About thirty priests min
istered to this flock, and when Bishop
Carrol held his diocesan synod in 1791
it consisted of but 21 priests.
But the growth of the church has
been steady ; aud to-day according to
Hoffman's tlirectory, the Roman Cath
(lic t.mmlntion of the United S'ates is
8,157,070 ; the total number of priests
is 8,1 IX, with 10.500 churches and
chapels, 27 seminaries, 650 colleges
and academies, 2,799 parochial schools
and 520 hospitals and orphan asylums.

Bishop Fenwick of Mass. sent Bev.

devoted priest, as the first permanent
pastor in Vermont, who, beginning his

linirtun was erected in 1853. On the

was consecrated a bishop in New York

he came to Burlington to enter iqion

A certain young man in this village

safely to a post innocently supposing
that his wagon couldn't get away, but
as the hours melted away in the midst
of dreams Elysian, the wagon became
tired and in some mysterious way took
a "move" into a plowed field far re-
mote from the point of departure When
the new situation had fully dawned up

it into one w hole, and went home to his
little bed, more absorbed iu thoughts,
of what had been than in thoughts oC
what might be.
