NEWS AND CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1894. 8 The Sheep Industry. I From the Waliiiuton Uvraiug Star Senator l'roctor nihievetl n suiMen reputation as a S.'imt rial Lumorict June l-".ih by making what U prob ably the mit unique tpet'h on the tariff bill that has jet Uvn delivered. The debute was" on the wool schedule of the bill, and Mr. Proctor took oc casion in a comparatively brief ad dress to quote from that standard reference, the Bible, to indicate the history of th wool industry. "The , first recorded attempt," he said, " to break down the iuter-st of sheep husbandry waa when Cain slew bin brother AM, who was ' the keept r of . sheep.' " The Senate w;i immediate ly convulsed, and the closest atten- . tion was paid to the rjuaint remarks of the tall statesman from Vermont, lie contiuued: "The motives and nurpoi-ea which actuated Cain were phiinly the same as those which actu ate his followers to-dny. It was jeal ousy of a preferred an J protected in dustrv. Cain was a 'tiller of the cround, and brought of the fruit of r 1 a. 11.. tue exouna an onennc unto me Lord.' "This offerinc may have been of rice or cotton or suar the Record does not state. The punishment meted out to Cain fail ly foreshadows that which shall be meted out by the people to the promoters of this meas ure; a mark suaii ue ser upon mem, . A n-lA 4lin limn r4 ri kn i-r comes they will say, v it b Cain : ' My rmnisbment is greater than I can . bear.' " Mr. Proctor went on to quote con siderably from the Holy V nt to show that sheep husbandry was, from the earliest times, considered a favored industry. "Abraham tendered ewe lambs as witnesses of an oath in one of the earliest real estate transac tions on record.1' Mr. Proctor allud ed to the success of Jacob in improv ing; the breed of slip p, which grew ,out of a bargain with Labau, his father-in-law, as described in the 13th . chapter of GenpaiB. The quotations were particularly apt. " The shep ilierd and his calling and his flock," .continued Mr. Proctor, "are often al luded to in the Holy Writ, and furnish aome of its grandest imagery and most beautiful illustrations! Many of those specially favored of the Lord were shepherds, and everywhere that calling is referred to as one of the liighest character, pit; inly recognizing its importance to the welfare and prosperity of the people. "The fate of those who attack this industry and the flocks of their coun try is plainly foreshadowed in and JProctor quoted the following : " Da--vid &a id unto Saul, 'Thy servant kept . his father's sheep, and there came a lion and a bear and took a lamb out of the flock and I went out after him .and smote him and delivered it out .of his mouth, and when he arose against me I ciughttimby the beard :and smote him and slew him. Thy servant slew both the lion and the liear; and this unciremueised Philis tine shall be as one of thern, seeing he has defied the arniks of the living God.' " , "The same fate, Mr. President," re marked Mr. Proctor, in his deepest Lass and most solemn manner, " will .-surely be meted out to the political Philistine of the present day in No vember, 1894 and 1890 The re- wards awaiting those who are fa'tb tftil in sustaining tb industries of their country are also f jretold." Mr. Proctor quoted several passages to . show the glorious futtireof those who . cared for the sheep, aud he concluded his reference to the Bible as follows, . sending the Senate into a convulsion .t laughter: "As a further evidence -of -lie Divine preference it is written t that -'he shall set the sheep on his iright hand, but the goats on the left.' " The intended application of this sentence to the present situation .is obvious. Vermont and C iliforxia Ver imont and California are widely sep arated geographically, but the Re publican conventions held in these States this week show that Republi can sentiment in both is united in favor of protection and bimetallism. The nominations of Col. U. A. 'Woodbury for Governor of Ver .roant and Hon. M. M. Estee lor Governor of California will command approval. The State of. Senator Morrill and Hon. George F. Edmunds has never faltered in its Republican allegiance, and least of all will it do so this year. Mr. Estee, 'the Republican candidate in Califor nia, has already distinguished him self in political affairs. lie presided over the last Republican national convention ; he is a forceful public epeaker, a man of executive ability, and a public spirited citizen who will worthi.y fill the Gubernatorial chair of the chief commonwealth of the Pa cific coast. N. T. Press. The choice of a successor to Pres!- dent Carnot of France rests with the senate and chamber of deputies; The ibodies are overwhelmingly Republi can, but that party is divided and it is difficult to eay upon whom the choice of the majority will fall. The aiames most prominently mentioned ;are Premier Dupuy and ex-Premier iCa-imii-Perier. The latter was a -candidate fur the presidency to sue ceedCH"'Ot, w oho term would have expired nut December. Both men liave done good work for France, and either will be able to hold the popular confidence. .

II., though of a Cavendish family, born July 1 1 , 1 838, t he son of AlWt M. and Lucy L. (Wadl. igh) oodbury. The family returned to Vermont when he waa ouly two years old. lie was educated in trie common schools at Morristown, nt the People's Academy at Morrisville and graduated from the medical de partment of the University of Ver mont in 1859. He enlisted at the first call of patriotism and went to the front as sargeant of Co. II, 2d VermoDt, was wounded, losing his 1 iht arm. and taken prisoner at the First Pull Hun, paroled October 8 and immediately discharged on ac count of his wounds. Only a little over a year later, however, he waa in the country's service as captain of Co.D, 11th Vermont. He was trans ferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps in June, '03, and in March 'Go, re signed. He then settled in Burlington and became the general manager of the lumber business of J. R. Booth, mak ing a great success of the business and acquired a handsome compe tence for himself. He has been among the most public spirited of Burling ton's citizens, interested in a large number of the enterprises which have so rapidly built up the city s prosper ity and contributing generously to purposes of progress and develop. meut. For over a dozen years he has been the owner of the Van Ness Hotel. He was elected alderman in 1881 82 and in tne latter year was presi dent of the board. In I880 ana 8b he was the efficient mayor of the city, and in 1888 was elected Lieut.-Gov-ernor and two years later made a lively canvass for the nomination for first place on the ticket but was de feated by Gov. Page. Col. Woodbury is a prominent se cret society man, having taken the 32d degree in Masonary, and belong ing to the Odd Fellows and lvnights of Pythias, besides the Grand Army, the Loyal Legion and the Sons of the Revolution. He married February 12, 18G0, Paulino D., daughter of Ira and Sarah Darlington of Elmore and she has borne him six children, two sons and four daughters. The parents of Colonel Wood bury rcs:ded in this county nearly all of their lives and both of them lived to a ripe old age. For many years they lived in Elmore and were held in high regard by all. In 1871-2 the father was one of the as sistant judges of this county. Reunion of Company E. The 0th annual reunion of Co. E of the 3d Vt. Hegt., waH held with Mr. and Mrs. Carlos Bugbee in Morristown. Fifteen members of the did Co. E were present with their wives and children ; other invited guetit were pres ent, making in all about fifty. In the fore noon a flig-pole was raised and a beautiful flag just purchased by the association, was flung to the breeze amid three rousing cheers mid a tiger, given by the old brigade in blue. This was followed by a patrioticsongby Miss 11a Miles, and bhort speeches by A. A. Niles, tt. D. Wbittomore, L. L. Camp and Geo. W. Drown were made. At 1 p. m. the company sat down to a bountiful repast furnished by the Indies, after which was a duet by the Misses Ltila and Ila Niles, followed by a busi ness meeting of the association.

Voted to have the new flag lettered, by placing thereon "Co. E Veteran Association of the 3d Vt. Regiment." Voted to hold the next reunion at C. A. Davis' in Morristown. After the business meeting a musical program wag rendered by the Misses Niles and Town, alter wtnen tne remainder of the time was spent in siuging army songs and telling army experi ences. It was one of the most pleasant meet ings the association ever held. STATE ITEMS. Sherrod Brown of New Haven has a flint lock musket, carried by his grandfather at the battle of Lexington. It is sai l to have shed the fiist blood in the revolution. Wm. Fitzsimmonds, aged 17, was drowned Sunday night in the Passumpsic river at St. Johnsbury. He wus bathing and it is alleged waB pushed into deep water by other bojs. There is a lack of cell accommodations at the house of correction, and it is propable that LegiHlutu,e will be asked for an appro priation iu order that more cells may be built. Rev. Chas. W. Longren of Barre has ac cepted the call of the First Congregational society of Franklin, Mass.; to become pastor at a salary off 1,800 and use of the parson age. He will begin his duties in September, and the engagement terminates upon three months notice from either party. Mg-. Satollia, the representative of Pope Leo XIII, is expected to -visit Burlington August 5, the date of the unveiling Of the. monument to contain the chains of St-Peter. The Vermont diocese occupie a unique position in the possession of these relics, and this will make the cere mony a national affair. The archbishops of Quebec, Massachusetts and New York are ex pected to be present. . The Woodstock Standard brings the fol lowing cui ions fact to notice: By the te ms of a will lately proved in Hartford probate district, tbe testator bequeathed 1858.60 to his five nephews and nieces, all nnd' -t twenty one years of age, aa follows, namely, " To be divided so that each shall share the same when each becomes twenty-one years of age." ;The division is to be made as of the 23d day of February, 1894. The Bges of the legatees are as follows: The 1st will be of age Feb.23, 1807 : the 2nd, Sept. 22, 181)9 ; the ad, Aug 20, 1!)00; the 4th, Nov. 8 1902; the 5th, Jan 17, 1905. The question is, how much each legatee received on the 23d day of Feh.j 1894, payments having been made to- their respective guardians. , t 3 J Cai-taiK SweBndy, U. Si A , San Diego, Cal.

Casimir-Perier met with a defeat in the Fiench chamlM-r. and resigned office. After exiierieneiutr some difficulty in finding any one to undertake the forming of a new min istry, President Carnot persuaded M. Dupiy to become prime minister; and he soon tuccceded in constituting a new cabinet. It is hardly worth while toattempt explaining the reasons for the defeat of M. Casimir-Perier, nor even the question on which the adverse vote was given. All observers of the in cident agreed that the pr me minister might nave averted t he defeat if he bad chosen to do so; and that he showed plainly by his course that he desired the overthrow of his ministry. The spectacle of one government alter another falling before a chance majority composed of the odds and ends of political groups in the French chamber has now been presented to the world with irregular fnquency for more than twenty years. The aveiage life of a ministry duringthat time has been about eight months let although the world has seen these rapid changes taking place without endangering the republic, people who watch the political events of other countries seem to have been as greatly astonished by the last ministerial crisis they were by the nrst one. A very simple fact will ex plain what appears at first a 'deep mystery : the French people are not bogrlish. France has a system partly, but not wholly, borrowed from the En glish. The ministers are responsible to the Chamber of Deputies, as in Great Britain, but in most other re spects the systems that prevail on the two sides of the Channel are dif ferent. The French prime minister is not the chief of the ruling party, he is not, as the British premier virtual ly is, the autocratic dictator of the policy of the ministry; the ministry itself is not all of one party; and neither the premier, nor the ministry as a w hole, commands and governs a well-disciplined party. When a British government is de feated, the leader of the opposite party is called on to form a new cabinet. The change is a rudical one and is a serious matter. In France a new ministry is made up of membership of the same groups as constitute the old ministry, and in about the same proportions. The President of the Council, as thepiime minister is eutitled, may exchange places with a fcubordiimte, aud the next month they may exchange buck again. Through it all no one in Franee thinks that the country is in any danger. Many foreigners who do not sufficiently study the case are more apprehensive than are French men themselves. All is explained by the fact that the government is com posed of new persons, but the policy is not greatly changed. It is mertfy as il France chose to put off an old necktie and wear one which, at the moment, seems more becoming. Englishmen find it extremely diffi cult to understand variations, par ticularly such a radical variation as this, upon her practice. And Ameri cans who get the most of their for eign politics at second hand from London, seem equally to have been puzzled. Ju&t at present every prominent Frenchman is hoping that some stroke of lortuue will elevate him to the presidency upon the expiration of M. Carnot's term in December next. Every politician who thinks he has a chance for that place is manoeuvring, for it. It is an excellent illustration of the difference between English aud French government that if Lord Rosebery were to be defeated, his party would probably be excluded from office for several years; but the defeat of M. Casimir-Perier is thought to have improved his chance for the presi dency. Youth's Companion. The new postal money order, which is to be sold at postoffices ou and after July 2, is simply a copy of the express orders which have been issued for several years, having a marginal coupon check which can be torn to represent any sum from one cent to $100. The rates for the present orders run from 5 to 45 cents. The new orders will cost less, the scale running from 3 to 30 cents, the fees having been reduced tothebaeisnow charged by the express companies. Warning to Yopno Mek. How many young men bankrupt their constitutions, squander 1 heir vitality and ruin their health by pernicious practices generally contracted through ignorance. Nervous exhaustion.de bility, dullness of mental faculties, impaired memory, low spirits, morose or irritable tem per, fear of impending calamity, and a thou sand and one are the deiangements of mind and body which result, from such indiscre tions. Epilepsy, paralysis, softening of the brain and dread insanity aro not unfrequent ly the result of unnatural habits contracted in youth through ignorance of their destruc tive character and persisted in until the con stitution is wrecked. Such unfortunates are surely entitled to the tender sympathy, the nobh g efforts and best skill ot the m dical profession. To reach, reclaim and restore such unfortunates to health and happiness, is the aim of an association of medical gen tlemeu, who, having had a vast experience in the cure of the class of maladies herein hinted at, have prepared ' a comprehensive, scientific treatise, written in plain bnt chaste language on the nature, symptoms and cur ability, by home treatment, of such diseases. The World's DispenBury Medical Association of C03 Main St., Buffalo, N. Y.,will on receipt of this notice enclosed with ten cents (to pay postage) mail, secure from observation, in plain, sealed envelope, a copy of this usetul work, which should be read by not only every young man in tbe land, but also by every pareut, guardian and teacher having care ol the young. - MARRIAGES.
