remember once being acquainted with
man Of the name Of Malone, who was employ
ed in the British Commissariat Department
in the battle of Waterloo. OF course the
provisions for the army were kept so much in
the rear that no gun shot whatever could
reach the dispenser of lifes necessities.
Every one, however, that in any way belong
ed to the army was invested with a medal,
and Malone, when he returned to his native
city, used to wear has medal prominently on
his breast taking occasion to expose 1t as
much as possible to public view. OF course
he had never been within the W'nd Of a ball.
1t so occurred that fair was held in his
native city, and us usual, on such occasions,
a number of shows for the amusement of chill
dren, We're assembled among them was one
specially to delineate, by a series OF pictures,
the battle ofWaterloo. Knowing the egotis-
tcal propensities of Malone it was proposed ,
first, to make an agreement with the show
man for certain amount of money, to say
what we wished on the merits of the picture,
in case we brought Malone to give his opn-
ion of it. This being accomplished, the next
object was to 90 to Malone, tell him that a
picture of the battle of Waterloo was exhibi-
ted in the fair, and we would be much oblig-
ed if he would come and examine it, and by
which we We're to be assured of its correct
ness. Malone accompanied US to the fair
and all things being ready, we gave the show
man wink, (having previously given hin
seven dollars,) when we requested him t.
allow our friend Malone to look through tn,
glass. This was Immediately accorded, anC
the tieM of Waterloo was presented t. tn
view fthe meddliod hero, while the Snowman
deliberately began the explanation Of tn
,, picture in the words for which he was paid
,, "Look to the right and you will see Fiel
, Marshal the duke of Wellington, on whit
|, horse, in deep conversation with Prince Blu
, cher, and look to the left and you will Sc
Dan Malone of the commissary department
with three cooked hat on, robJing The ded

= In an instant the hero of Waterloo graz
pied with the Snowman, and a rough an
tumble fight ensued. drawing, as a matter
:. course, around about the scene of actor
:, hundreds of men, women and children, som
! times the Snowman was heels up, and aga
Malone bit the dust, while apple women ar
their stands were at discount.

of the Vermont Central, and the opinion was
again expressed that the connection should
be speedily built, though no vote was passed
in that year. In the winter of 1873 the
subject was again before that Board, and u
vote was then unanimously passed. calling on
the Canada Company to proceed without de-
lay to construct and build that connection,
and save the charter of the Canada Company
from forfeiture.
Here is now presented the concurrent ac-
ton OF both these roads, both Of whom were
parties to the compronise which was made
IN lS45, when the charter Of the Vermont
and Canada was granted, and both Of whom
nave uniformly and up to recent dates, adj
hered in 9ood Iath to the original purpose
and compact OF 1915.
SO far as know the feelings and scnti-
ments Of the stockholders in Vermont. and of
many high-mnded and honorable stockhold-
ers in Boston, there is even now no wish or
desire to repudiate that original understand
ing, but on the contrary, strong desire.
often expressed, to fulfil that obligation in a
just and honorable manner.
These facts are matters OF record. and with
them before me, | should do violence to my
self and to every honest and high-mndcd
stockholdcr in the Vermont and Canada
Company were | to disregard them.
But while | feel thus bound to stand firm

the remonstrances which were repeatedly
made to those having the matter i charg'
been needed, all the. present cmbarras-mcu.-
would have been saved, and the interests o'
all parties been protected, without loss and
without injury. But it is too late to mourn
over the mistake, or to undo what has al
ready been done.
The alternative is presented to the friends
OF this line of road whether to take the pres
ent substitute, in the best form that we can
get it, or to submit at once, to n com
plete and irretrievable forfeiture of the
charter. For | cannot look at it in any

The very application here by the Canada
company is, on its face, an admission that it
has no ground to rest upon, to save for
telture, but the indulgence and mercy OF the
Legislature, no other rehet but what they
can obtain here, and with the unmistakable
evidences before me of the feelings and senti-
ments of this Senate, cannot blind my eyes

MIR. EVERETT'S GRAFTON AGAIN.

One who did not understand the Times
way of treating things in general and the
FREE Press in particular, might suppose from
the Times two column leader of Friday,
that the FREE Press had been abusing Mr..
Edward Everett, or his Essay on Washing
ton. But we have done nothing of the kind.
We made what we believed and still believe
to have been fair and just notice of Mr..
Evcretts Grafton, giving it praise where We
thought it deserved it. We intmated, it is
true, that we were slightly disappointed III
the production as whole but we found no
fault with it, with the single exception Of
the Union-saving portion at the close-which
We No",""nA mildly To SUGGEST might "s III
have been omitted, as not needed in this
State and locality. That is all the wicked
FREE Pass did. We somehow omitted, it is
true, to cover the distinguished orator with
thick coating of blandiloquent ilummory,
and we did not call his " Essay the
absolute elimination and apex Of all
possible wisdom and eloquence and pa
triotism this is our off nee.
We might reply, if we chose, to the DIFF
fercnt portions of the Times attempt to be
very severe on our poor selves. We might
comment, among other things, on the anus
ing assertion that there was nothing clabo-
rate in Mr.. Eyorotts Oration-but We will
let it all pass, with single additional re-
mark on the Iimes' assumption OF superior
knolcledge of IKE sentiments Of The pUbhc, We
have, probably, as good means OF becoming
acquainted with public opinion in this com
munity as the Times. Moreover one of the
editors OF this paper "happened to be IL
Montpelier" as well as the editor of thu
TimeS, day or two after our - remarks
were published and there and here among
the many sound and sensible gentlemen
whom we have heard express themselves con
cerning Mr. Everett's Grafton, we found bu
one concurrent expression of opinion upol
it, and that entirely in harmony with GU
own. The reason why the editor of tn

SUFFERING, TEMPTATION, VIRTUE

tive.
Some two years ago young English girl,
of perhaps fifteen years, with refined manners
and pretty though pale face, presented her
self at our Office, and neryously asked for
some place IN a family in the country She
told the usual story of poverty, and we only
observed that her hands were very thin and
bony and her cheeks hollow and that on beng

her eyes filled with sudden tears of thankful

she received quietly, end on the next day

cumstances, as her manners and language
showed had come over after the death OF her
father and the wasting Of his property, to
seek her fortune, as do so many Others, IN
America. She sought at once to enter some
trade, and to earn living for herself; but
Without frieads and with the crowded com
