h1DDLETOWN, May Ioi 1901
Editors of Herald Il have seen no COM
munications in your paper from Middle
town in long time. There seldom ap-
pears anything of late in the County
papers in relation to the town but de-
sire to inform the public through the
HERALD, that we are not all asleep here.
Our farmers are busy, thriving set OF
men, and ale certainly doing as well as
farmers in any community in the coun-
try nor are We without our business
interests. Dur merchants are doing a
good business, our mechanic shops show
a good deglee Of activity, and the manu-
factory OF horse powers by A. W. Gray e.
Sons are tuning out those useful ma
chimes as fast as thirty men can do it ;
and this tley do to fill orders, which
come faster than they can fill them with
their help. A. W. Gray & Sons some
time since purchased the hotel here, and
the store adjoining which have been un-
dergoing thorough repairs under their
own supervision, and are now nearly
completed. They have taken some pains
to secure god hotel keeper, and have
found one in the person Of A. Thompson,
Esq, formerly of Granville, N. Y. Mr..
Thompson hiss now been here about two
months, and we mast say, as everybody
else would VINO should be guest OF his,
that the Messrs. Grays were very fortu'
nate in theirselection. He is the right
man in theright place" He attends
faithfully toall the wants Of his guests
keeps excellent order and regulation
about the honse, and has as good table
as could be desired by any one. We
have no fault to find with any of oul
former landlords, they have usually been
very good meR for the place, but We
must say, that with the enterprise OF the
Messrs. Grays, aud the skill OF Mr.
Thompson, Middletown is now able to
show a great improvement in hotel keep
ing. They desire not only to make this
hotel comfortable place as travellers

Sixth-A fixed amount will be set
aside for the emancipation OF the slaves
of the nation, and the same terms will
be agreed upon to effect the liberation of
the slaves owned by religious orders as
may be made to purchase the freedom Of
those held by the Government.
Sepenth-There will be appropriated a
fund for the annual purchase of GER
tain number of slaves, so that but few
may be in bondage when the hour OF
general emancipation is at hand.
The opinion of the Brazilian people
on the subject Of slavery is well known.
All detest the institution in It's princi.
pie. Demonstrations prove that all are
In favor OF the spirit OF the plan de-
veloped in the foregoing summary. 1t
is looked upon as a skillful and patriotic
solution Of the great problem that has
long weighed upon the mind of the
country, Accomplished by these means
emancipation will be effected in Brazil
without creating either disturbance or
financial crisis"

A HOME IN DBsBRT.-A correspond
ent of the London Morning Post gives
pleasant account of a visit recently
paid sby Lord Clarence Paget and his
party to the home which has been raised
in the desert by M. de Lesseps, of Suez
Canal celebrity
"We landed at 1smalia, anu were at
once welcomed by merry party of
French ladies and gentlemen, headed by
Madame Lesseps, jr. These made us
freemen of the desert. Escorted by
torchlght, we climbed the sand bank
and ascended to broad plateau. Here
We were in the veritable dessert. Two
years before not stick or stone was
to be seen here. The Bedouin was the
monarch of the waste. The clear, bright
moon, which now looked down upoa
w cary travellers and bright and laugh
ing friends escorting US to shelter, two
years ago would have perhaps lit up
group of weary camels and heap of
black Arab tents. Here, too, eighteen
hundred years ago and more, in this
spot, the desert stars shone upon a
group--a man of advanced years, a
weakly woman and tender child-the
Holy Family flying from Syria into
Egypt-halting at Setti Mariane. The
piety of NJ. de Lesseps has raised chapel
on the spot to the memory of Mary in
the Desert
But these things are all changed
now. Here are the residences of the en-
gineers and others employed by the
Suez Canal Co. A whole town has been
raised in the sands. By series of canals
the fresh waters of the Nile have been
brought to Ismaia and to this spot !;
and the irrigating effects are almost mar
velous. The chief resident engineer of
the company, an italian gentleman, has
a garden attached to his house, full Of
verdure, plants and flowers, and tama-
rack trees twenty feet high. am as
sured by him and by others that not
foot of soil has been placed here beyond
that brought by the waters of the canal;
that irrigation, and irrigation alone has
completed all these wonders, and made
literally the desert to blossom as a rose
and the wilderness to become fruitful
field.
But yet greater surprise awaited
us. NJ. de Lesseps had telegraphed to
his friends that we were about to pay
visit to the desert. We found upon our
arrival at the plateau, the ladies and
gentlemen employed on the spot waiting
| to give US welcome. The gentlemen
were all well-mounted cavaliers, and
carriages had been brought by the ladies.
Horses had also been furnished for the
gentlemen OF the Admiral's party. Lord
and Lady Clarence and family were
placed in char-a-bane, to which team
| Of six dromsdaries was harnessed, their

HEAVY SHEARISG.-Mr. J. w. Barber
OF East Hubbardton, on the 9th inst,
sheared number OF his sheep, and the
fleeces, we think, will compare favorsbly
with those Of any flock in Rutland Co.
His stock ram, five years old, sheared
80 pounds of wool fleece one years
growth; a ram teg, thirteen months old,
sheared fleece of IS pounds and II
ounces, the weight OF carcass being but
76 pounds. Twenty others Of his rams
were also sheared at the same time,
whose average weight of fleece was II "a
pounds. Mr.. B. is one of the most sue
cessful sheep breeders in this section, and
was only deferred from participating in
the shearing at this place on the lst inst.
by i'll health and unfavorable weather.

Although the Government has of
late years Systematically discouraged
the idea of renewing expeditions to the
Arctic regions, the love of adventure and
private enterprise are too strong to al
low them to stop. Sir Roderick Muir
Gibson recently announced to the Geo.
graphical Society that an expedition for
the exploration Of the unknown inte-
rior Of Greenland was now ready. This
expedition, which is wholly at private
expense, is conducted by Mr.. Edward
Whymper, of Alpine celebrity, and Mr..
Robert Brown, an accomplished natural
ist and eminent explorer of the Rocky
Mountain slopes, from whence he has
recently returned after an absence Of
nearly four years, and who has already
twice visited the Arctic regions.

THE RUTLAND AND BURLINGTON CAR sHo

THE RUTLAND AND BURLINGTON CAR SHOP,
In the summer Of 1865, the managers
Of the Rutland g. Burlington Railroad,
in view of their constantly increasing
business and the poor condition Of
large portion of their rolling stock,
coupled with the fact of an additional
twenty-tour miles OF road (the Vermont
Valley and large number of cars for
merly owned thereby, coming under
their control, deemed their facilities for
building and rebuilding cars for the use
OF their corporations, rather limited, the
car shop of the company being then 10.
Gated in the north end of tbsir machine
shop, and accordingly commenced the
erection Of building on the northwest
corner of their grounds in this place,
fronting on Furnace street, to be used
thereafter as q shop for building and re-
pairing rolling stsck. Work was prose
cuted on the new building with all pos
sible alacrity until the following Febru-
ary, when the shop was completed and
ready for occupation.
This shop is composed Of brick, is in
a measure fire.proof, and the main build
ing is 1876 feet long by IS feet wide, with
an 81" used as a machine room, which
is 85x50 feet, and blacksmith shop
adjoining 30x25 feet.
The working force In the car shop has
recently been somewhat reduced though
at present 80 frst-class mechanics are
employed, who are constantly engaged
in buildiAg new cars or repairing those
at present in use.
Since work was commenced in the
shop 60 new freight cars and 20 new
platform cars have been turned out,
while six passenger coaches and 300
freight and platform cars have been re-
built, at an outlay of time, trouble and
expense nearly or quite equivalent to
building new ones, until at the present
time the rolling stock Of the company
consists of twenty frst,class passenger
coaches, 10 baggage, express and mail
cars, $50 freight cars and 200 platform
cars, aside from locomotives and tenders,
all Of which is in most excellent Condi-
tiOn.
The shop is furnished with all kinds of
lathes, planers, mortising machines ten
oning machines, forges, trip hammers,
and other tools and machinery necessary
for converting wood and iron into all de-
sirable shapes for use in building or re-
pairing, and is one Of the finest shops
for such a purpose in the State.
The power is derived from fine forty
horse, high pressure engine, which pro-
pels 100 feet Of main and several hun
dred feet of counter r-shafting.
The entire shop is under the supervis-
ion of Martin NJ. Crooker, Esq, the
company's Superintendent Of Car Re-
pairs, who, by the way, is a thorough
and efficient mechanic and an obliging
gentleman, and to whom we are indebted
for much of the Information necessary
to the compilation of this article.

WEAK EYES AND FINE PRINT.-A non
professional correspondent calls our at
tention to the increase of near-sighted-
ness and other difficulties of the eyes at
the present day, owing, as he believes,
to the reading of too fine type in books !;
and wishes US to utter word of warn
ing against this evil. He also COM
plains of much OF the print in news
papers as very trying to the eyes.
Whether the evil of which he complains
is mainly due to the cause to which he
ascribes it or not, it is certain that it
may be greatly aggravated by it. This
opinion has long been held by the medi-
cal profession, but men in general seem
to care more for the pound of cure than
the ounce Of prevention, In this as in
everything else. We can only say that
it grieves US to see 1--WE never read them)
and to see universally applauded in the
daily press, the multiplying diamond
editions Of popular authors. Their
publishers surely cannot realize what
an injury they may inhict upon the eyes
of their readers. 1t is poor economy to.
buy a book at half price printed in type
so small as not to be read without such
a risk.-BOst0n Medical and Surgical Journal.

TUESDAY, MAY 2l, 1867.
The Maryland Convention.

The proceedings of the Republican
state Convention which assembled in
the city of Baltimore on Tuesday, May
IA. marks a new era in the history OF
political parties in that State. The tone
aud outspoken sentiment Of the Conven-
ton is an encouraging indication OF what
loyal men can do, even in community
whose sympathies have been against the
great cause of progress and freedom.
The proceedings were harmonious and
dignifed on the part Of all its delegates,
and among them was full representa-
ton Of the colored population. The OBJ
iect sought to be effected, to devise
whatever means and aid in their pro-
vince to help on the cause Of impartial
suffrage. Hon. John A. Creswell, eX-
United States Senator, presided, ana
Hon. John L. Thomas recently repre-
sentative in Congress, took an active
part in it's proceedings. The speeches,
50 far as they are reported, were charac-
terized with an earnestness worthy Of
the cause, and the remarks Of both
white and colored speakers were in gen.
eral, temperate in expression.
The resolutions were consistent with
the object OF the Convention, although
peculiar in their local adaptation to the
issues which are now before the people
OF Maryland. We give them in sub
stance The first demands recognition
by law, all over the country, of the
equality of all American citizens in all
civil and political rights. The second
calls upon Congress to carry out the
principles of the Declaration Of Inde-
peudence and the Constitution by the
passage of the Sumner-Wilson bill at
the earliest practicable moment. The
:hird denies the legality and constltu-
tionaity Of the Convention now in
session at Annapolis to amend the con-
stitutiOn OF the State and declares that
any constitution it may form without
impartial suffrage ought to be defeated
by the people and not recognized by
Congress. The fourth asserts it to be
the duty OF the Republicans to defeat
such a constitution at the polls. The
fifth declares that in case such q cOnsti.
tuition is submitted, the State Central
Committee and the Republicans OF all
the counties and the city Of Baltimore
shall provide for taking the votes of all
colored male citizens Of the State against
She constitution made at Annapolis 50
that such vote shall be counted, and in
the event of the whole vote, white or
cOlOred, cast against that constitution
being greater than the vote cast in its
favor, 1t shall be claimed that the con.
sttutiOn is not ratified, and an appeal
shall be made to Congress to prevent its
being carried into effect The last resO.
luton invites the Republicans of Dele
ware, Maryland West Virginia, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and MtssOur ri to send
delegates without respect to color, to q
convention to meet at Baltimore at some
future day to advance the cause Of
manhood suffrage. This is the in.
auguration of a canvass upon the i'm.
pOrtant question Of suffrage in the
right spirit, and the wheel should roll
on until the equality of all American
citizens in all civil and political rights
is fully recognized
