Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1868-12-30
Senator MOrriII'S EulOgy on Hon.
TIladdeuS Stevens.

THADDEUS STEVENS was native OF Yer
mont, taught and teacher in her schools
but ultimately graduate at Dartmouth
College, New Hampshire, and removed in
his early manhood to Pennsylvania, where
for many years. he ranked as a well-seasoned
politician and something more than promi-
nent citizen Of that Furnishing state. Like
so many other men of our country, with an
experience not discreditable here to proclaim,
as it has been and still may be in other lands,
he raised himself, unaided by fortune or
family, from obscurity to distinction and
honor.
1t having been my fortune to serve in tho
House of RepreseD ia tivoe, and Tor some years
the same committee with Mr.. Stevens.
receiving from him uninterrupted courtesy
and kindness while long seated in the House
by his side. it was impossible to have been
unmindul Of those characteristics which so
often challenged public attention, and it will
be excused, perhaps, if | venture to give,
however imperfectly, some of the impressions
made upon me by man whose career has
been SO notable as to secure prominence IN
the history of great people and in move
ments which it may be said, like the traces
of glaciers on mountain tops notch the age.
IL is too soon after the storm. and we are
too near the waves of contending principles
and parties to review the merits OF particu-
lar acts with which Mr.. Stevens has Deen
more or less identified and the humber
task will he mine, therefore, of giving an
outline picture of the man, or of sketching
some Of his most distinctive features and
traits as they appeared to a near and not
uninterested observer.
In the early moments of tenderness and
grief for the memory of associates and friends
removed from conspicuous spheres of action,
plain truth and just discrimination speak in
muffled tones, and panegyric alone ventures
forth in full voice. Christian charity and
the instincts of the human heart would por-
tray only the brighter tints, avoiding shade
though Of the most veritable sort. But the
safety of the public requires that the faults
of the statesman shall not be concealed even
though the faults of the man receive more
generous charity. The disgracefui coalition
of Fox with Lord North history still lmpales'
hut the personal faults of the former, heredI-
tary or educational, are imputed to the age
or charged to Lord Holland, the father.
Could we, in the present instance, consult
the deceased, as We may by referring to MS
own example, although he was an unbellever
in the pomp and grief Of all congressional
eulogies, we should find he would have been
unwilling that the san itself should DC
represented without it's spots or, II wart
had been on his face he would have obJecte1
with Cromwellian sturdInes to its suppress
sion in his picture; and his fate. like that
of many other distinguished men, has been
to die and leave no lineal successors, none
to feel the joy which well earned praise De-
.Burke Sam. johnson, Washington and Jackson.

TUE CIoyr IN HIsroRy that mn

THE Glove IN HIsroRY.-In that mul
titude of islands which make up the East
ern Archipelago, there were but FIVE in
that period where grew the clove-Ternate,
Tydor, Motel, Makian, and Bacia Pep
per and ginger, even I1tmegs, cassia, and
mace, were but vulgar drugs, precious as
they were already to the world and the
worlds commerce, compared with this most
magnificent spice. 1t is wonderful to re.
feet upon the strange composition of man.
The world had lived in former ages very
comfortably without cloves But by the
beginning of the seventeenth century that
odoriferous pistil had been the cause of so
many pitched battles and obstinate wars;
of so much vituperation. negotiation, and
intrigue, that the worlds destiny seemed
to have almost become dependent upon the
growth Of a particular gillyfowcr. Out
of its sweetness had grown such bitterness
among great nations as not torrents of
blood could wash away A commonplace
condIment enough it seems to US now
easily to be dispensed with, and not worth
purchasing at thousand human lives or
so the cargo; but it was once the great
prize to be struggled for by civilized ma
tions. From that fervid earth, warmed
from within by volcanic heat aud basking
ever beneath the equatorial sun, arose va
pors as deadly to human life as the fruits
were exciting and delicious to human
senses. Yet the atmosphere of pestifer-
ous fragrance had attracted, rather than
repelled. The poisonous delights of the
climate, added to the perpetual and various
warfare for its productions, spread a
strange fascination around those fatal
sles.-Motley's United Netherlands.

The interest which used to surround the
character of the North American Indian
largely fed by romancists of the school OF
which Cooper was the founder-has gener-
ally died out in this country, and the ten
dency, under the irritation of the Indian
outrages of the last few years, and the
irregular war which is dragging its slow
length along on the Plains, is to revert to
the opposite extreme, and to picture the
red man-after the manner of our Puritan
fathers-simply as the bloody savage" :"
treacherous, and cruel, and base in all his
instinct. A writer in the Eclectic Rerieso
takes very different view of the red mans
character as it was when unaffected by the
white mans treachery and the white mans
vices. The article, which we find copied
into the Eclectic Magazine, is entitled
/" The Folk Lore of the Red Man." and
has been prepared after careful study of
the yoluminous works of Schoolcraft, and

The Use of Refuse.

Formerly this glycerine passed off as a
refuse substance in this manner, when
the Belmont works were making their full
supply of candles, this useful material es-
capped to the value of 9400 per week
Glycerne is very valuable in certain skin
diseases and ear affections, and it is found
to be an admirable means of preserving all
perishabe matters, meat and fish being
kept in it for months perfectly fresh.
Some of the more delicate perfumes are
entirely guiltless of ever having had their

from oils and ethers, many of them of a
most disgusting kind, the by-products and
Playfair, in lecture delivered In 1852,
referring to the exhibition of the preced-
ing year, says:
Commercial enterprise has availed
herself of this fact, and sent to the exhibit
bition, in the forms of essences, perfumes
thus prepared. Singularly enough, they
are generally derived from substances of
intensely disgusting odor. A peculiarly
fetid oil, termed fusel' oil, is formed In
making brandy and whisky. This fuse
oil, distilled with sulphuric acid and
acetate of potash, gives the oil of pears.
The oil of apples is made from the same
fusel oil by distillation with sulphuric acid
and bi-chromate of potash. The oil OF
pine-apples is obtained from product OF
the action of putrid cheese on sugar, or by
making soap with butter. and distilling
it with alcohol and sulphuric acid, and is
now largely employed in England in the
preparation of pineapple ale; oil OF
grapes, and oil Of cognac, used to impart
the flavor OF French cognac to British

takes his raw beef and vitriol punch silently,
and no more obtrudes himself on the public
but Smart keeps his war paint still smeared
all over his classic features-paint that he has
stolen from Brick Pomery. Hear him:
If Grant is elected by unfair means or use OF
illegal power-if he does not receive MAORI
ty Of the three hundred and seventeen votes
of the Electoral College, fairly cast-if he
seeks to override a majority in America, the
people Of this country aciH not submit to 1t.
dear! o dear! This is fearful, my mas
ters-or would be if Grant had failed to get his
clear majority of the 81 votes by fair means
But hear Brick Pomeroy. The blood runs
cold when one thinks of it!
In the next canvass the Democratic stand
ard will be borne higher than ever. We will
make no compromise to allow any of the revo-
lutonary measures Of Jacobinism to stand.
1t will be clean sweep Of banks, tariff, bonds
and reconstruction. Up with the banner.
Raise the war-cry. The battle against Jaco-
binism is but just begun. "Dinna We hear the
