WEDHESDAY, APRIL 11, 1883.
A Modem Warfare,
England )s just now more excited tban
would be the case if she bad nn old
fashioned war on her hands. The tradition
of the "gunpowder plot" is as tame as it it
old in view of what the London of to-day
is worried about.
The lute explosions in the eiiy nlaruied
people but it was not certain that they
woro caused by any extensive combination
uml the hope was indulged that they wore
the work of n lew fools who would be
frightened from further attempts. Uul
last week it was found that there were
regular manufactories for modern cxplo
sives and one such, place was raided and
soverul arrests have been made of men
engaged in the work of "blowing up" old
England.
A bill has been rushed through pallia
inent imposing severe penalties on those
engaged in this new sort of crime and
many of tlio Irish leaders are denouncing
the dynamite policy as idiotic and crimi
nal. These preventives show that tbore
is something more than a scaro and that
Hossa and his liko are really doing some
thing more besides making threats.
In former times "war was carried on
openly; now England as well as the
continent of Europe can testify that secrecy
and assassination aro coming to bo princi
pal elements in it. So far as the immediate
result of tho present dyr niuito warfare h
concerned they will probably ho mainly a
reaction against the Irish cause they are
designed to aid.
But it seems very likely that tho lntur
will seo ibis sort of thing recognized as o
fact by nations and provided for by trea
ties. During the rebellion rebels coul
quietly prepare in Canada for raids on
United States soil and Canadians wen
rather pleased to see tlio fun go on. Wher
tho "patriot war" of 1837 and the Feniai
invasions were going on Americans wert
not worried though they did well in stop
ping open warfare from their own soil
0en warfare one nation will not permi:
to be carried on from within its borders
against a country with which it is at
peace.
But modern methods of warfare will
certainly bring about provision againsl
tho performances of such scamps
O'Donovan Eossa and Patrick Crowe
when they go beyond words and plot to
destroy property and lives in a foreign
country. As far as matters have gone
Americans in general and Vermonters in
particular may think that the English
know now how good it is to bo expecting
a St. Albans raid or Us cquivolcnt. Bui
tho evil will progress and demand in the
end international measures for its suppres
sion. And while tho Gladstone ministry with
tho help of tho lories in passing laws to
put down this kind of warfare John
Bright who resigned from that same
ministry because ho could not sanction
war has been talking at Glasgow, where
he was elected lord rector of the univer
sity, about the great evil and folly of war
in any shape.
Ho shows that four-fifths of Great
Britain's expenses during tho present
century have been for war. And in the
namo of the poor he calls for a policy ol
peaco. lie makas tho remarkablo state
ment that in Glasgow two-fifths of the
families have but one room to live in,
and that two-thirds of the people ol
Scotland live in houses of two rooms or
less. If this is true it is small wonder that
Ireland, which is worse off, is discontented
und that her poverty has made hit mad.
Dreams of empire and tho cost o!
standing armies must give place in Eng
land as on tho continent of Europe to
sensible efforts to better the condition ol
the poor. When that is done the modern
style of warfare will die out with the old
and violence will bo the exception among
both men and nations. But this Quaker
doctrine will not have its perfect work for
many long years more's the pity.
Governor Butlor of Massachusetts is
having a characteristic time of it. Some
weeks ago he vetoed a bill incorporating
a company for the purpose of reclaiming
land. His veto, which read more like n
stump speech than a state paper, drew
upon history, ancient, modern and imagi
native, to a large extent and called out a
report from tho chairman of the committee
to whom it was reforred that the average
disinterested reader, would, in the words
of the late Horace Greely, pronounce
"mighty interesting reading." Tho report
after showing the mistakes made in
quoting history, Intimates in language
that is plain, that tho reason of placing
the state library next door to the executive
chamber might be taken as a gentle hint
that tho slate intended its head should
have no excuse for ignorance or mis
information. The governor is now busy in an investi
gation of tho Tewksbury almshouse and
the witnesses thus far brought forward by
him shows that there has been gross mis
management in that institution and
though some of tho worst features in the
cage have boon remedied theso three
years, still the case is one that needed
looking into .and still further radical
changes made.
The nomination of Mr. Plympton of
Worcester, as insurance commissioner,
has been withdrawn by Gov. Butler since
ho has becomo satisfied of his inability to
get the name confirmed.
Wm. Sprague, who was run for gov
ernor of Khodo Island by independents
and democrats, and who was backed by
Gov. Butler of Massachusetts, was defeated
by Augustus O. Bourn, republican, by
2110 majority. Of tho 108 members
elected to the legislature 84 are republican.
Capt. Eads is full of confidence in tho
ability of man to manage the Mississippi:
"If I were 15 years younger I would
readily cngngo to obtain and maintain n
n avigable channel from Cairo to the gulf,
Of nt least 20 feet deep, and I would do it
Dy simply securing a uniform width to the
high wator channel of the river. I would
lot the caving banks alone and confine my
attention to making the rivor of a uniform
width, which can be easily dono by attack
ing the wide and shallow places and con
fining tlio water in a propor channel.
When a uniform width is secured a uni
form velocity .of current will result, and
."hilling channels will bo unknown. Then
tho damage from caving banks would lie
n (lured to a minhmin.
Peter Cooper.
Last Wednesday the man whose name,
of all Americans, stood foremost for
benevolence and prnctioul pbilantnropy,
died at tho residence of bis son-in-law,
Abram S. Hewitt, in New York city,
April 4th. Mr. Cooper was born in New
York city, February 12, 1791, when it bad
a population of only 27,000. He has
enjoyed good health to within a very few
days of bis death when he caught a slight
cold which settlod into pneumonia, termi
nating fatally on Wednesday, at 3 A. M.
The father of Mr. Cooper was a lieuten
ant in tho revolution but was not a
successful business man.lmving at different
times engaged in the manufacture of hats,
tho making of brick, been a brewer, and a
store keeper. Tho boy was apprenticed
when 17 to a carriage maker and here he
gave practical illustration of his inventive
genius by making a machine for mortising
hubs. He met with success in tho manu
facture of a machine to Bhoar cloth and
in a grocery store aud (rom tho proeoods
he bought a glue factory. lie continued
this business, together with his other
numeroUB enterprises, to tho end of his
life, flo bought land in Baltimore ond
put up extensive iron works and from the
sale of land reaped immense profits.
Whilo carrying on the works in Baltimore
ho invented and with his own hands built
a steam engine whose boiler was about
the size of a common wash boiler, with
two gun barrels to connect the boiler and
steam chests. The machine had a capacity
of about one horso power, and did its
work, that of drawing the cars of a horse
railroad, perfectly. This was tho first
locomotive built in this country and was
put on a road which made a curve with a
radius of but 150 feet when Stephenson
idaimod that no locomotive could turn a
curve of less than 900 feet radius.
After selling his iron works iD Baltimore
Mr. Cooper started a rolling and wire
factory in New York which were soon
ifter removed to Trenton, N. J., where
heir capacity were increased.
The inventive faculty in Mr. Coopor
was great. Ho invented a device for
ising the riso aud fall of the tide to store
ip power by pumping air into a reservoir
:o bo used in driving an air engine, an
mdlcss chain system for towing canal
ooais, a torpedo, the principles of which
were the same as now employed. Ho was
the first to use anthracite coal in puddling
iron, first rolled iron beams for lire proof
buildings and his namo will go down
jointly with C. M. Field as engaged in the
laying of tho first Atlantic cable.
The monument which Mr. Cooper built
in his lifetimo and generously endowed
was doubtless suggested by tho lack which
lie felt in perfecting his inventions. Tho
Cooper institute he built at an expenso of
5G50.000 and added an endowment of
$180,000. Tho building is devoted by a
deed of trust, with all its rents and profits
to tho benefit of tho working classes. Th(
plan includes regular courses of instruc
don by night, free to all, on social and
political science, engineering, mining,
metallurgy, chemistry, architecture: for
women thero is a school of design under
able artists and schools of wood engrav
ing, photographv.telegraphv; the buildiiic
Uso contains a free reading room and
library, and a hall in which free lectures
are delivered. During tho year ending
last May 3334 pupils passed through the
different classes, 2-lCj remaining through-
ml the year. No other person, living or
lead, has erected so noblo and so worthy
i mom ment.
In politics Mr. Cooper was not consid
ered as sound as 111 business. His idea of
overnment was of tho paternal nature
He was the greenback candidate for pros
dent in 187G.
Mr. Cooper was married in 1813 and of
s children two now survive him ex-
mayor Edward Cooper and a daughter,
the wife of Congressman Hewitt.
Gov. Ordwav of Dakota fears violence
from tho people of his capital, Yankton,
and has demanded protection from the
United States marshal. The people say,
however, that they don't mean him any
harm, but they have much to say to him
which ho may not liko to hear.
Si lUTUiiKN Judgment oi-Mit. Edmunds.
Speaking of Senator Edmunds, of Ver
mont, the Agusta (Ga.) Chronicle says:
"When stung by any manifest Innuendo,
he can give inflection or exaltation to his
vocalism that not only accentuates and
emphasizes his retort, but silences tht rash
man who has stirred him to indignant ut
terance. He someiime9 gesticulates. We
have seen him give his desk a sharp rap a
if it were tho knuckles of some unluckv
opponent. Ho is indeed a man of few
words and much thought. His language
is simple, terse and clear, like his reason
ing power. He speaks the tonguo of his
people and is never obscure becauso his
intellect clarifies every thins his tonmie
articulates. Ho is an honest man and a
remarkable one; a dreaded adversary bill
a firm friend ; an ultra republican but an
upright one. His chance for being the
nominee of his party for the presidency
next year is growing moro and mote for
midablo. It may becomo 'a boom.' We
have no doubt if tho popular demand of
his party shall insist upon his candidacy
he will sacrifice his personal odieetions
and act like a patriot in consenting to bear
the banner of his faction. The democrats
will not easily defeat him, especially il
they put n man less honest. If, by any
ucradvenlurc, which we do not admit, he
should be Mr. Arthur's successor, the re
public would at least have an executive
clean-handed, highly endowed, of spotless
personal reputation anu uncommon public
integrity. Though in some senses, the ro-
doubled political antagonist of the democ
racy, the southern people welcome him
and his family to this section of the union,
ana tlio citizens of Augusta would be
pleased to mako his acquaintance in any
way that would be agreeable to himself.
A South Carolina judge, in passing
sentence lately, remarked that ninety-nine!
out of every ono hundred persons upon
whom ho had had in his circuit to pass
sentence were comparatively young
people. Especially in crimes of nn infa
mous character tho criminals were in
nearly every instanco ouiie voiins? nnd
almost nlways of tho colored race. It
was rare that ho bad to pass sentence
upon those wlio liad experienced the
restraints ot slavery and who had sinoo
Dccn maao ireo.
Lady Florence Dixio is not dismayed by
unbolief in the story of the assult upon her
bhe continues to affirm tho truth of her
statement. Agues Carlisle, employed by
Lady Florence ns maid, corroborates thn
statements of the latter in several impor
tant particulars, such as cnts in her cloth
ing ana tne presence of mud on her face
anu in tier mouth.
f A Detroit lawyer has framed n bill
which is now heforo tho Alichlgan Icisla-

fo his hoirs at-law, and afterwards it shall

Washington Letter,
Washington, D. C, April 5, '83.
On Wednesday the president, returning
from his usual evening drive, stopped at a
book store to look up some reading matter
with which to beguilo tho tedium of bis
long southern journey. Before lie could
step from his carriage to the door ho was
observed, and in a few minutes a crowd
gathered and blockaded the sidewalk to
the extent of compelling passers by to
take the middle of tho street, and the
services of a policemau wcro required to
prevent the crowd from invading tho
store. Truly, greatness and distinguished
position are subjected to ordeals terribly
trying to satiated uppctitc. I do not
wondor that the president pants for a
little obscurity, for the depths of some
vast wilderness, and Is betaking himself
to the dense shade of tho Florida orange
groves. And yet, if ho is still nn object
of curious inspection in Washington
where presidents havo always lived,
moved and had their being, what may be
expected to remain of him on his return
from his trip to the far south, where the
natives have no conception of a real live
president? Think of the excruciations in
store for him during the next few weeks,
when oven for some time past ho has been
sickening and turning livid at tho sound
of the airs "Hail to tho Chief" and "See
the Conquering Hero Comes." Ho left
tho city Thursday morning at 11:50
o'clock, on a special train, accompanied
by Secretary Chandler. Mr. Mille of New
York, and Private Secretary Phillips, and
many kind wishes that his journey might
be pleasant and his fishing good.
Before his .foparture ho named tho new
cabinet officer, Judge Waller Q. Gresbam
of Indiana. The appointment is extremely
well received in Washington. Judge
Gresbam has tho reputation of being a
man of decided force of character and
has been mentioned for ptsitions of the
highest prominence for years. His courage
on the field during tho war attracted the
notice of General Giant, and the warmest
personal friendship has existed between
the two men ever since. Ho says his
appointment was entirely unsolicited and
unexpected by himself. His political
enemies accuso him of intense partisan
ship, which means tuat no is a btiou
republican. His home is in Indianapolis,
and he is said to be an insatiable reader
of books.
fin Tnesdiiv. the oloso of Mr. Merrick's
cross-examination of Ex Senator Dorscy,
marked an epoch in tho star route trial
In spite of Mr. Dorsey's evasions, conven
ient memory, aud partial blindness, Mr.
Merrick succeeded in extracting from him
some important admissions for the gov
ernment. It is claimed by the prosecution
ihat Dorsey furnished tho money out of
his own pocket to start and equip tne
combination. The headquarters wcro in
his own residenco on I street, and he
personally watched and directed the prep
aration of bids. In carrying out tho
schemo he had devised, he sent to post
masters whose continuance in ollire largely
depended upon him, oven if they did not
owe their original appointment to him,
certain bonds, in blank, with the request
that they procuro sureties and certify to
them, without even knowing tho character
of tho bonds. In ono caso at least a
postmaster indignantly refused to com
promise his honor, even at the request of
a United States senator who might be able
to put him out of office.
Senator Jones of Novado. positively
denies that thero is any foundation for the
rumor tnat ho has had any disagreement
with President Arthur, or that ho express
ed himself ns having made his last visit
to tho White House. He further says his
olations with tho president wcro never
kindlier or warmer than at the present
time.
Tho citizens of Washington were
shocked Wednesday morning on learning
of a ghastly crime that hud occurred the
niht before in a quiet neighborhood of
Capitol Hill. A drunken husband by the
namo- of do Frouville, who had been
separated from his wife for seven or eight
months forced an entrance to ner no'ise,
i,t I,,.,- rlnwn. and u acme tho pistol to
his own head fell at hef feet. Ilio lady
was well and favorably known by many
persons here. She possessed tuoio than
ordinary personal attractit n, and was an
accomplished linguist, being employed as
translator in the agricultural department
The report of tho tragedy rapidly spread,
and the houso was soon surrounded by a
curious thronrr. On the floor of the
tastefully furnished parlor lay the wife in
an attitude indicating that she had tried to
escape from tlio threatened death. Her
fair faco was bespattered with blood, and
a small stream trickled to tho floor from
tho death wound. Her husband lay upon
his back at her feet, his vest lorn open
exposing his shirt, and over his face
rivulet of blood flowed.

London, Eng., Mar. 28, '85
A fresh attempt to destroy government
offices, and, at tho same time, the oflices
of tho "Timo" on Thursday evening
caused great alarm in tho city. There can
hardly be doubt as to the origin of these
plots. They aro tho offspring of revenge,
and are dictated by a desire to do all pos
sible injury to u government that ha9
shown a forbearance towards Ireland such
as no former ministry has equalled. No
doubt exists that theso base designs arc
intended as tho reply to tho language of
Mr. Gladstone, who firmly resists further
Irish encroachments. Tho now attempt
at destruction was made about nino o'clock
on Thursday evening nnd tho scene was
the local government board of oflices in
Parliament street. An oxplosion took
place of so violent a charaotcr that it was
said to resemble the firing of the eighty
ono ton gun. Tho ontiro neighborhood
was startled by the tremondons force of
the explosion, nnd the houso of parliament
were snakon by tlio concussion, u was
found that an immense quantity of oxplo
sivo material had been discharged, nnd
great damage was done to the building
but happily human life was not sacrificed
to gratify the diabolical vengcanco of the
perpetrators of tho crime. Some govern
ment officials had a narrow esonpo nnd
owing to the alarm occasioned both mili
tary and police were in readiness to defend
tho residences of the ministers. Tho ox
plosion at the Times office was fortunately
slight, and was less skillfully planned
than at tho local government board office.
Il will be remembered that Mr. Glad
stone made a striking and important speech
on Wcdnosday respecting tho land bill of
Mr. Parnell. Mr. Gladstone, with sincer-
ity ans gonuine kindness, spoko of the
impossibility of agreeing to the demands
of the homo rule party, and he at the same
timo pointed out grave reasons why Ire
land could not hope for greater indulgence
than any other portion of tho empire.
Id
fact tho plan in dealing with Ireland for
long tiino has been that adopted In some
largo families where the yonngstor who
cries the most and makes the most com
plaints gets tho greatest attention and
indulgence, but this method is begin
ning to weary both English ministers and
also the people at large.
Tho university boat race on Thursday
was less fortunate in the weather than it
has been in some recent years. The time
fixed was early in the day, and dark clouds
and showers of snow with a cutting east
wind, tended to reduce tho number of
spectators to some extent; yet,, when the
start took place, there appeared to be as
large a concourse as usual. Half-past five
was the appointed time, but it was a qnar
tor of an hour later when the signal was
iven, and then tho weather which had
been unfavorable, all the day, became still
worso, and the latter portion of tho race
was rowed in a blinding snow storm ; with
tho result that Oxford was again victo
rious., Tho race was rowod in twenty-one
minutes and eighteen seconds, and Oxford
won by three boats' lengths and a half,
and tho Oxtoniano could possibly have
accomplished their task in less timo if the
rivalry had been stronger on tho side of
Cambridgo. The latter crow had, how'
ever, been groat favorites earlier In the
day.
A strango but not altogether unreason
ablo proposition has been made by Hussia
to the other great powers. It is suggested
that an international detective force be
established, which shall consist of oflicers
of every nationality ; the object being to
make war upon all secret organizations.
whether Socialists, Nihilists, Fenians, An
archists, and in fact all revolutionary asso
eiations. Tne basis of the argument
Itussia is that every form of secret society
i bat resorts to assassination and the do
struotion of public property is equally
criminal, no matter what tho name may
be. Tho difference is in extent nnd powor
rather in character. Itussia argues that i
mo remans in iiitigutnu, socialists in
Germany, Anarchists in Fiance, and
Nihilists in their own country seek to
undermine tho very foundation of order of
government, and endeavor to establish a
reign of terror through which peaceable
citizens suffer, it is desirable to mako com
mon cause against a common foe, and to
uso all possiblo means to destroy thoi
combinations. France, Austria, and Switz
erland havo already expressed a willing
ne;S to enter into the anti-revolutionary
ahianco, and after our own experiences o:
the past week few will be disposed to
question the importance of tho subject
Our only fear in England would be lost
such an institution might be used as an
instrument of political tyranny to check
the free expression of public opinion.
August
juiuchsi. va, iKumurriux. in answer
to the oft repeated assertion that prohibi
lion, ns a remedy for the eviU of intem
perance, is a failure, and that it would bo
better to ubstituto tho licenso system, tho
Connecticut temperanco union has com
piled and published a staloment of fads,
from which we make the following extract :
"According to the last United States
census, Maine has 2G,23(i more inhabitants
than Connecticut. If prohibition does not
restrict tlio liquor trnllic more than license,
it should be larger in Maiuo than in
Connecticut. But, from the report of tho
United States commissioner of internal
revenue for tho fiscal year ending June
30th, 1882, wo learn that, whilo Connecti
cut had 2,830 retail dealers in alcoholic
beverages, Maine had but 991, and it is
fair to state that a largo proportion of
ihese were tho town agents authorized to
sell for scientific, mechanical and sacra
mental purposes. Whilo Connecticut had
no wuoiesalc dealers in intoxicating
liquors, Maine had but 21. Whilo Con.
nruticut had 14 rectifiers, Maine had none.
While Connecticut had 87 distilleries in
operation, Maine had none. While Con
necticut had 22 breweries in operation,
Maine had none. Tho aggregate of the
special tax paid to the United States
government by those engaged in the
liquor traffic in Connecticut during the
last fiscal year was 881,370. by those in
Maino it was $20,420, a little less than
one third of the amount paid in this state.
While Connecticut had ono saloon for
every 220 of her inhabitants, Maine had
out one to every 637 of her inhabitants.
We submit that thero is no escaim from
the cnnclnsion that prohibition in Maine
restricts tlio liquor traffic to a much
greater extent than license does in this
state.
Unearthing Relics. The Glens Falls
daily Star says: In tho extension of (lie
Delaware & Hudson railroad company
rom the sito of the present freipht denot
at Caldwell to the plank road the work
men a.o excavating a largo amount of the
old embankments of Fort William Henry.
Just south of tho hotel grounds they have

human bones, fragments of clolhing and
war rilias of all sons, in profile quantities,
lives the work great arclueolinieal inter
est and attracts many eurosily hunters.
Several bushels of bones, skulls and a
variety of cannon and musket balls have
already been taken out, and expectation
is on tiptoe in view of possiblo important
discoveries. On Saturday Conductor Jen
kins found an almost perfectly preserved
skull, which showed what was evidently
tho passage of a bullet through tho brain.
Station Agent Fennel lound three skulls.
a ten pound solid shot, a grape shot, a
ii-Hgnient oi a large shell, two iron shove Is.
a number of bulleis, bits of clothing, eto.
and the passenger station begins to look
iKc the cabinet ot an antiquarian.
Senator Vest of Missouri bus been cast
ing his eye over tho political field, aud
predicts that tho next president will bo a
democrat, McDonald of Indiana standing
fc remost in the race, with Arthur ns his
republican opponont. As Mr. Vest is a
democrat, it is very natural indued for
him to look at this matter through a dum-
eratio glass and seo a democrat in the
While House; but ho must remember
that it is some timo to presidential olooilon,
and that political prophets, liko weather
prophets, aro quite liable to miss their
reckoning.
A Iawsnit to settle the ownershi n of a

who saw it fall and dusr it un bolievea tho

is quite valuablo, as it weighs fiOO pounds.

The Monlpelicr proachars' meeting met
at the vestry of Trinity church, on Mon
day April 2d, fifteen brethren boing pies
ent. At 10:30 o'clock a. m. the meeting
was called to order. Bio. II. A. Spencer
in the chair, liro. C, P. Taplin conducted
the devotional exercises . It was decided
to leave the appointment of the May meet
ing unto tho executivo committee to be
held or omitted ns may be expedient.
Bro. II. F. Forrest of Randolph, then
presented a papar upon "The pastorate of
the Methodist Episcopal church," the ad
vantages nnd disadvantages incident to
our itinerant system were reviewed. Ho
thought it the best system of the kind
existing and yet not necessarily perfect in
all of its charaoteristie features. He was
inclined to tho belief that the succoss of
Methodism was, however, due moro to
the nature of its theology than to its
ecclesiastical system.
The itinerancy, as bucu was an incon
trovertible fact, characteristic of all the
churches, ours was tho merit of reducing
it to practical use regularity and system.
There was no doubt that thero were
sometimes great advantages growing out
of exceptionally long pastorate?. The
spoaker maintained that tlio ends sought
would be better conserved by moiu flexi
bility in tho restrictive rule, thus securing
all the advantages of both sys'.i -mi Tho
paper was original and suggestive. We do
not attempt to give a sketch of i he ui tide,

A Brave Soldier Dead. A corro
spondent of the Free Press, referring to
the death at Manchester, N. II , of James
D. Warner, formerly of Swanton, says of
him :
Ho was one of those noble, unflinching
boys who fought nt Decatur, Ala.. Oct. 27,
1804. when the gun boat "Gen. Thomas,"
in command of Capt. G. Morton, now of
Essex, Vt., fought against all odds, stayed
the rebel Gen. Hood with his masked
batteries and 40,000 mon and caused them
io retreat down the river below "Wolf
River Shoils'" and gavo Gens. Thomas
aud Hunter timo to try their steel on the
bloody fields of Franklin, Tenn. Alone
for two hours did the bravo crew of the
tin clad gunboat fight those rebel batteries,
sometimes within 40 rods, and every shot
that struck passed through or burst witlun
our midst. It was ono of tho most daring
deeds that happened during our late war
and one of which history bears but little
record.
There during this while stood the
unflinching James D. Warner at his post
within the magazine, bravely doing his
duty as the shot and shell from the rebel
batteries played thick and last around
him. One just clearing his head struck
the magazine where ho stood, filling the
air with sticks and splinters and knocking
him headlong among the ammunition.

Tub Bkatti.ki'.ouo Postage Stamp.
Last week, in Now York City, a single
three cent postage stamp was sold for one
hundred dullai's. it will bo rcmciulwrod,
n 181(1, whilo awaiting stpplics from the
department at Washington, the postmasters
ot certain cities were authorized to issue
stamps temporarily. Among others so
ssuuig was tho postmaster ot Jfrattleboro.
Eight hundred stamps were printed, and
of these one-half were burned. Collectors
have been in search of souio of these
stamps, and It was considered almost a
hopeless matter to procure ono of them.
One collector.however, who was shrewder
than tho rest, instituted a search for the
engraver, whom ho found residing in
Springfield and he had still remaining
seven of the precious squares, which he
disposed of to the collector for seventy-five
cents each, besides furnishing indubitable
proof of the genuineness of Hie issue, the
very existence of whicli was doubled. The
ict ot I lie purchase leaked out, and a
dealer offered ono dollar apiece lor six of
the seven. This was refused by the
original purchaser, who demanded live
times that sum, and before the money
reached him, although it was sent wiin
promptitude, ho had nil otter of $1U
piece. Ueing an honest man hu stuck to
Ins first offer and parted Willi s x (or 30.
1 he most precious ot the lot, which bore
the engraver's name, ho retained posses
sion of and this is the ono he has now sold
for $100. Theso Brattloboro stamps were
printed in sets of ton, and each of the set,
of course.diffored to an extent appreciable
with tlio microscope, No ordinary collec
tion is complete without a Unittleboro
stamp; but this quite too altogether price
less collection has now three, and may yet
avo a complete set ot luo israttleboro

some years ao (Jliarles sumner anil
Charles Francis Adams met at the dinner
table of a mutual friend, then a member of
congress nnd a well known business man
of Massachusetts. They had not been
seated long before they were engaged in
the discussion of a political question. The
conversation, whicli at first was animated,
soon became so violent as to move tho
host to interpose in tho interest of peace.
Mr. Sumner withdrew from the table und
house, while Mr. Adams, with head bent
and figure indicating dejection, sat some
moments in silence; then, looking at his
host, said in a tone of regret : ' It is ever
ihus when I should most thoroughly
command my temper, I lose eontrol ; but
however bad it is with mo, it is better than
with my father, and infinitely butter than
with my giandfather."
