NUMBER SO.
From the Vermont Record.
HON. TIMOTHY p. REDFJELD.

Timothy Parker Redfeld, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor of Vermont,
was born in Coventry, Sunday, the Sd day
of November, 1911; the son of Peleg and
Hannah (Parker) Redfeld. His father
was one Of the earliest physicians in Or
leans County, and had an extensive pIac-
tice, and was much in public life, having
been representative from Coventry nine
successive years, lS12-ls2O, and held
several other offices. Both parents we're
possessed of great intellectual vigor, a
large inheritance of which descended to
their son.
He was graduated at Dartmouth College
in 1886, studied law with his brother,
Hon. Isaac F. Redfeld, then in pratice at
Derby, and commenced business at Iras-
burgh. He soon became one of the lead,
ing lawyers in the county, and was also
active as politician. InlS47 and l84S
he was the Democratic candidate for the
Vermont Senate and in l949 was elected.
Soon after his election he removed to Mont
pelier, and opened an Office there; losing
by the removal very little Of his practice
in Orleans County, and gaining an exten-
sive practice in other counties. In 1851,
he was the candidate of the coalition
for governor, the first nominee, Hon. L. B.
Peck, having declined. Upon the estab-
fishing of the Board of Education in 1856
he was appointed member of the Board,
and by repeated appointments has held
the office to this day. He was Postmaster
at Montpelier during the Presidency of
Buchanan, and perhaps has held other
Offices which have escaped the notice of
the writer. .... .....s. /. ....
Mr.. Red6eld possesses strong native pow
ers of mind. which have been 50 develop
ed by discipline and liberalized by cul-
ture, that he easily takes rank with the
ablest men in the State. All the qualif-
cations necessary for a governor of Ver-
mott he has in abundance, except the one
qualification without which all the rest
are, in the estimation of the people of YER
mont, but as sounding brass or tinkling
cymbal. An unfortunate mistake in the
selection of his political associates in these
times of breaking up of old parties and
forming new, will probably exclude him
from the gubernatorial chair. "a a.Il ,-

SQUANDERED LIVES.

The fisherman W sdes in the surges
The sailor sails over the sea; ..
The soldier steps bravely to battle;
The woodman lays Ak to the tree.
They are each of the breed of the heroes,
The manhood attempered in strife;
Strong hands, that go lightly to labor,
True hearts that take comfort in life.
In each is the seed to replenish
The world with the vigor it needs
The centre of honest affections,
The impulse to generous Deeds ..
But the shark drinks the blood of the fisher
Pie sailor is drownded in the sea;
The soldier lies cold by his cannon;
THE woodman is crushed by his tree.
Each prodigal life that is wasted
In manly achievement unseen
iBut lengthens the day of the coward,
And strengthens the crafty and mean.
The blood of the noblest is lavished,
That the selfish profit may find;
But Cod sees the lives that are squandered,
And we to His wisdom are blind.

Vermont was one of the very first States

ferhouI was ohe vi Tile very HrSI OtaIeS
to offer to send Surgeons and nurses to
the army, as long ago as when it moved
to the Peninsula under Gen. Mcclellan /;
and has repeated the offer several times
since. but has been informed that such
help could with difficulty be used +; that
the army in time of grim-visaged war,
and in face of the enemy, must necessari-
ly be strictly military organization,
subject to rigid rules; and that civilians
could not be mixed in with the military
without producing disorganization and
confusion. .. H
At and after great battle like that at
Gettysburg, it would be quite remarkable
if, among troops so hotly engaging the en-
emy's fire, as did the Vermont troops,
there should not occur cases of distressing
suffering. Only few such cases have
however been mentioned as occurring
among the Vermonters; and probably
there was a less number among them who
were not speedily ministered to, so far as
human agency could relieve or alleviate
suffering under such circumstances, than
among almost any other equal number Of
troops engaged. The Vermont Regiments
had full and superior corps of Surgeons
with good assistants, and all attended tc
their duties on the field, with untiring de.
votion. AS for the Commissioner, he at
tended precisely to the duties of his ap
poiotmept, obtaining the requisite list o.

DEAR REPUBLICAN DO you want to
know what the men of the great free
North seem to me to be now saying in loud
est, most emphatic voice. to US poor fellows
in the army? "You are set of mean,
contemplate scoundrels, not fit to be asso-
ciated with by decent people. We have a
perfect horror of your society. Far from
accepting the Presidents very general and
pressing invitation to join your ranks and
work by your side for time, we will pay
any sum of money; we will try all sorts
of excuses and evasions; yes, will descend
to the meanest tricks to keep out of your
hateful society. We hold nobody t, be
your proper companions but shoulder-hit-
ters, plug-uglies, dead rabbits and all man.
ner of vile vagabonds, the refuse of our
cities, the ruffians from our penitentiaries,
whom we are accordingly caressing coax.
ing and bribing to go to you in our places.
Nay, you are such nuisance that we won't
even leave our Indignation to be expressed
by mere individual acts towards you. We
will combine our efforts to spite you. We
will put our heads together as communi-
ties; we will meet in our public capacity
and vote as towns and cities, to turn our
backs upon you, to help men who would
otherwise go to you, to stay away and leave
you alone. Well take advantage of your
absence to lay taxes on your property to
raise money to keep decent people away
from you. and (if we must) to buy murder
ers, thieves, and other villains to 60 to you
in their places; men who will be more
likely to cut your throats than those Of the
enemy"
And is this what you really think of us,
oh dearly beloved people of New England,
after whom our hearts yearn with an un-
speakable affection; thoughts of whom
keep up our spirits in long and toilsome
marches, visions of whose dear faces COM
fort us in every hardship and amidst
wounds, and even in the agonics of death |?
Is this the estimation the people of Con-
necticut valley put upon their sons and
brothers who went forth. as we fondly sup
posed, upon an errand most dear to your
hearts, in cause you held sacred in your
inmost souls !? Are our ranks, thinned so
sorcly by disease, wounds and death, only
fit to be filled up by ruffilns imported by
your money from the dens of New York !?
Shall our battle flags, bearing which our
best and bravest have gone down on fields
Of glory, and the staffs are yet stained with
the blood of their dying grasp, be left to
the protection OF mercenary wretches VINO
care neither for country or reputation, who
have sold themselves to you only in the
hope of deserting to sell over again in end
less succession, and who reach the field only
because pistols and bayonets have stood be-
tween them and fight?

THE ABsURDITIEs OF PREJUDIcE.-Incon-
sistency Is a weakness Of human nature, rs
unreasonable as il is absurd and indefensible.
Many people, for instance, have horror OF
purchasing anything that is extensively adver-
tised no matter what may be its merits. Ad-
vertising is, in their opinion, gigantic game
ofspecula.ion, or a medium OF putting worth
less goods. The Sambuci wine is largely ad-
vertised, because the proprietor, Mr.. Speer,
is DESTROYS that the public become acquainted
with it. He does not, however, expect people
to purchase it solely on his recommendation.
He wishes them to judge for themselves, and
he has instructed his agents and ali who retail
his wine that II it should not prove equal TO
what he claims for 1t, to return the money
All he wants is to give it a trial. Nothing
can be farer than this. The Sambuci Wine IS
pure, unauthorized juice of the Oporto
Sambuco grape, now being cultivated in this
country by Mr.. Speer. 1t Is valuable for fami-
ly use, and for its tonic and invigorating prop
critics. 1t gives tone 10 the stomach and In
vigorates the system. In fashionable circles il
has become the favorite table-wine.

VIEW OF OUR CITY.
In the afternoon the members of the Board
vi Trade, with their ladies, were invited to
ride through our principal streets, visit the
private grounds, and take view of our city
from the observatory and other eminences.-
Those who desired, passed through the var-
Gus departments Of our manufacturing estab-
lishments and places of business. All seemed
to enjoy the fine view of our harbor with its
three hundred and sixty-five islands, as well as
our shaded streets and busy workshops.
THE LEvEE.
The evening entertainment was one of the
most beautiful we ever witnessed. The large
and beautiful City Hall was never more beau
tifully decorated with woman's loneliness, or
with company who seemed to be more joy
GUS and happy. The arrangement was per-
feet in every particular, and was fully carried
out. The music was by Gilmores celebrated
band, nterspersed with pieces by Chambers
band. The dancing was kept up until late
or rather early hour in the morning. We are
pleased to see the disposition on the part of
all our citizens to make the stay Of our visit
ors as pleasant and agreeable as mortals can
be in this transitory world. If they don't sue
coed, it will be because they can't, and that is
a word down-easters don't understand the
meaning Of
