WHOSE FAULT Is IT ?-IIappening to be
upon the wharf yesterday, at the hour for
the Sacramento boat, our attention was at
tracted by lot of small boys, five in number,
the eldest of which could not have been more
than twelve years of age, who were making
attempts from time to time, to steal upon the
steamer unobseryed, but the watchful officer
at the gang plank discovered and repelled
them. At each rebuff, they sneaked back
among the crowd. When the boat departed
and the crowd dispersed, the boys were taken
in charge by policeman and escorted off.
Upon inquiring, we learned the following
sad particulars concerning them They were
outcasts from society-three were orphans,
and two were children neglected by their
parents. They had been turned adrft upon
the world to float downward in the current
Of niquity; no word of comfort or kindness
had ever fallen upon their eaBs to penetrate
and soften their rapidly hardening hearts
They roamed about from place to place steal
ing petty articles to exchange for bread, and
sleeping at night wherever they might
chance to find q shelter. They had been
arrested and confined in the Station House
on charges of yagrancy and theft, time after
time, until at last it grew to be no punish
ment to them, but subject of Jest. Then
they were ordered to leave the city Driven
out from their old haunts, and helpless, hope.
less, penniess, they went to Sacramento
After clrrying on their old game for a short
time, they were discovered and ordered to
leave that city also So they returned to
this city, and were again arrested ester
day, they attempted to escape on the steamer,
but failing in that they were again conveyed
to the cells of the station House, Who is to
blame for the abandoned and sinful condition
and career of these children? And is there
no one whose duty it is to endeavor to re.
claim thenl before they are utterly lost p

TnE LATE Hon. WM. SLADE.-Wc copy
the following condensed biographical notice
of the late ExGov. Sladc, from the Middle
bury Register.
WILLIAM SLApE was born in Cornwall VT. q.
May 9th l7S6. lie finished his Collegiate
studies with honor, at Middlcbury College in
1907, and had the reputation of being the
best linguist in his class. While in College,
and during his junior year. he was converted
t, God, and united with the Congregational
Church in his native town.
In 1910 he commenced the practice of
Law in Middlcbury. The causes were then
in operation which led to the war of 1912 !;
and as the political excitement was strong
and party spirit high. he was induced to
establish Press and publish political pa
per. He was for time, both Editor and
Proprietor &; but the. business proved pccunla-
ry misfortune, and was abandoned in 1Sl6.
In lSlj he was elected Secretary Of the
State, for the State of Ncrmont:-and judge
OF the County Court for his native County
the year following. The latter Office he held
until 1922, and the former until 1923. In
the last named year Mr.. Sadc went to the
City ol Washington. where he was employed
rs a ClcrN in the Department Of State which
.psition hc retained until 1899. At that time
ID now Administration was inaugurated, and
il' was dismissed.
Returning to Middlebury he resumed the
profession Of the Law and prosecuted it two
years. when he was elected to Congress, i'm
which position he remained toslce years. In
October, is he was elected Reporter Of the
Decisions OF the Supreme Court of Vermont

From tho Montpelier Watchman.
THE STATE HOUSE.

Tho work on the new Capitol is going on
very rapidly, Since the first Of January,
nearly the whole Of the building has been
lathcd and plasterel. The iron stairs leading
from the first door have been put in and are
very fine specimen of iron work. The
pattern is exceedingly elegant, and the set
ting is done in most thorough and work
manlike manner. The house is warmed by
several large stoves, and "a summer tcmpera-
turc is kept all the time. A watchman daily
aud nightly goes his rounds to guard against
the possibility Of fire. The new hall begins
to assume shape and beauty. We doubt if
there can be found another room of more
architectural grace and proportion in the
country, and when it is completed and fur
nishcd it will be worthy of the State--cer-
tainly much better than any Brick Church
or Town House, tor legislative purposes. The
Senate chamber contains nearly six hundred
square feet more than the old one, and prom
ises to be a complete gem. The ornamental
work, the ceiling and the pillars are all
simple and chaste, and yet singularly grace
tul and appropriate. The executive apart
ments are more spacious and more elaborate
than those in the old House. The style Of
finish is modest. but in the best OF taste The
hall below is to be tesselatcd with marble. Ii
is the intention of the Superintendent to fin
ish the building earl before the next session
of the Legislature, and to have it provided, in
every part with furniture such as will become
the style of the architecture itself. As we
looked over the building, and saw room after
room beginning to put on the beauties of its
costume-mouldings cornices and reLeros
starting into life under the hands of the
workmen, grateful and proud sentiment
crept over us, warming our heart with a
quiet delight, that we were permitted to in
vest little of our hard earnings in so sur
passingly beautiful a building. "DuIee ct

FEEDING Stock IN WINTER.-lti is a matter
of great Importance, that stock be wei! cared
for during .hc entire winter. and there are
some general rules which may he advantage
ously observed by all who have the care of
stock. One of these rules Is to feed regular
ly. II you are up and feed one morning at
six clock, and another ut seven o'clocb. and
another half an hour earlier or later. YOU
will find that your stock will not thrive as
well on Il certain amount Of food as when
you are regular in your time OF feeding
Another good rule is. feed little and often.
Feed little that your cattle may consume all
you give. Feed often, that they may not 20
hungry
a variety of food is also desirable for cat
tie, as we'll as for human beings. This is
manifest from the fact that stock fed on
variety will he found III better condition
than that limited to one OF two kinds Of
food.
The first feed in the morning should be
hay or corn fodder. Then, the roots or
grain which are their daily allowance should
he given, the cattle carlei and watercd. If
the wards are warm, and suitable sheds pro-
yided to protect them from storms and winds.
they may be allowed to remain out during
the uay. /" the mean time their mangers
shoulu Dc cleahScd of any refuse that re-
manned after their morning meal. and sta
blcs provided with litter for the night. Let
them be housed and fed before the piercing,
chilly air of evening comes on and before
you retire for the night say at Q O'Clock, pay
them another visit see that all is right, and
give them little more feed to keep off cold
and hunger till you feed them in the morn
ing.
By following these rules your stock will
become your pride, and ready buyers will be
found whenever you have cattle for sale

\ RACE BETWEEN STATEs.-ln 1896 two
young States We're admitted into the constel-
lation of the Union, Michigan, with one
half the extent OF territory Of Arkansas,
challenged her sister State for twenty years
race, and named as her rider, " Neither slave
ry nor involuntary servtudc, unless for the
punishment of crime, shall ever be tolerated
in this State Arkansas accepted the chal-
lenge, and namcd as her rider, " The General
Assembly shall have no power to pass laws
for the emancipation of slaves without the
consent Of the owners Thus mounted,
these two States, the one free and the other
slave, started twenty years ago; and now.
having arrived at the end Of the proposed
race, let us review and mark the progress OF
each. Michigan comes out in 1880, with
three times the population of slave Arkan,
sas, with five times the assessed value OF
farms, farming implements and machinery,
and with eight times the number OF public
schools --Pbenir.
