THE LEspEDEzA, OR JAPAN CLOvER.-We
have two or three times, in our columns, called
the attention of farmers to this new variety OF
clover, which is regarded in the South as supe-
ror in value to all other forage plants. 1t Is
also esteemed as being equally valuable as an
improver of the soil. 1t has, without much aid
from the hand of man, but chiefly by the agen-
.cy Of birds and animals, been extended over
wide area and its appearance is everywhere
hailed by Southern planters as an lnestimable
blessing. 1t has the merit of establishing itself
even on impoverished fields, and taking full
possession in spite of broom straw and young
pines, of brambles and Bermuda grass, 1t
covers the soil with a dense herbage, striking
its roots deep into the subsoil, and drawing
therefrom materials for the use of the plant
the whole serving in short period to renovate
the surface, and render it capable OF yielding
new crops of grain. We have the testimony
various writer's OF the highest respectablhty
that the Japan clover possesses these merits

Gazette says:
The municipality of Naples has no idea of
baing behind either Florence or Turin In well
coming Prince Humbert and his wife, who are
sxpected to take up their abode in the palace
some time 10 November. If they carry out the
proiect they have now under consideration, the
chances are that larger crowd of sight seers
from all lands will be collected here than were
attracted by the tournaments of the present
capital of Italy. 1t is proposed to give grand
feast at Pompeii, which is to last for twenty
four hours. During that period Pompeii is to
be restored to what is supposed to have been
its condition before 1t was destroyed. The shops
are to be fitted up as in the days OF old, and
shopkeepers are to stand at the stalls in the
costumes of the period.
The stree.s, the temples, and the public
monuments are all to be decorated as they
would have been on festal days In the ancient
times. In fact, the present skeleton OF Pompeli
is to be reviviGed, and the last days of Pompen
are to be enacted over again. At midday
there are to be wrestlings, and races, and
boxing, and Pompeiian games, but no gladla-
tors. The victors are to receive their prizes IN
the Temple of Fortune, and atterward it is pro-
posed to open the old Theatre, when Greek
tragedy, translated into Italian, will be acted.
In the evening the large amphitheatre is to be
illuminated with torches, by the light OF which
dancers are to dance until the daylight appears.
Such is the spectacle which the municipality
have now under consideration. If it is given,
it will not only be magnificent as tournaments
or illuminations may be, but 1t will have an IN
terest of it's own which will attract many to
witness it who are not ordinary sight-Seers.

Thaddeus Stevens is dead The rough but
powerful debater will no longer be heard in
Congress; the bravest leader in attack will
never again have his courage tested the
stern defender of liberty and equal rights to
all men has gone to his reward just as the vic
tory was won. Thaddeus Stevens was born
in Peacham, W., April 4, 1898, and died at
Washington, August IL, 1868, in the 10th
year of his age. Having prepared for col
ege at Peacham Academy, he entered Dart
mouth College and graduated in 1874. In
that year he removed to Pennsylvania, and
engaged in teaching while he pursued the
study of the law. In 1916 he was admitted
to the bar. There his talents soon command
ed a business which gave him wealth, and il
due time he had the opportunity for politica
pursuits. In 1888, "a, '35, '37 aud Al h,
he was member of the Legislature; in 30
a member of Constitutional Convention il
3S Canal Commissioner; aud in 1S4S he en-
tered Congress, and died in his seventh tern
in that body, having been the recognized lead
or of the House during four terms. His earl,
training in Vermont made him marked MAJ
in Pennsylvania, first for his successful effort
to introduce the common school system int
that State, which was not effected withou
very strong and persistent opposition; an
secondly for his opposition to slavery an
tyranny Of every sort. Pennsylvania border
ed on slave States, and of course neighborhoo
and business interests were all somewhat i

: liberty was therefore hard one, and the fac
that Mr.. Stevens acquired the control again,

power and zeal. He was indeed both powel

A PomTIcAL RoMANoE.-We knew that
our old friend NICHOLSON had rare gift for
generous and noble deeds, especially in the
way of discovering and developing the latent
powers of worthy young men; but the fol-
lowing incident, related by a correspondent of
the Brattleboro Phgair, is entirely new -
A few years since young man in the
town of W, in this State was earning
his living at the blacksmith forge. a friend
of his who was in the legal profession, know
ing the worth and talent of the young man,
after repeated efforts succeeded in inducing
his young friend to quit his work and study
law, After graduating the young man settled
in the town of c., Mass, and through
his personal efforts and influence, in few
years, succeeded in changing the entire politi-
cal status of that town.
This revolution in the town of c., sent
Arson Burlingame to Congress, and from
thence to China as United States Minister,
nd from, tho iatto- sar.S.-z ll-i-.--li-s-
to all the Great Western Powers. The young
blacksmith was Horace Il. Smith, Esq, broth
er of Rev. Dr. Asa d. Smith, President OF
Dartmouth College, and his lawyer friend
was the Hon. David 4. Nicholson, now OF
Rutland All honor to that member of the
Rutland County bar, who by his foresight
was the indirect instrument of furnishing al
American citizen to represent the Oldest anC
most populous nation on the globe, as an hon
ored and distinguished minister among tn,

The Vermont Election.

From private letter which we have re-
ceived from a Member of Congress, we make
the following extract -
81 feel very anxious that State should show good
gain In September II would show how the current was
setting, and that is great deal 1t would help 80 much
In the other States"
Vermont il one of the first States to cast
it, vote this Fall, and her verdict will exert
an immense influence upon the elections in
other States. She has always been regarded
as one of the staunchest of Republican States,
and has, by her vote heretofore, contributed no
little to the success of the principles underly-
ing this party in the Union.
In the last presidential contest Vermont
rolled up a majority of over 10000 for Abra-
ham Lincoln. Who shall determine how
much her majority, in the September election,
contributed to the success of the Union Ar
mics in prosecuting the war; What would
have been the result had her majority been
reduced to 10000, in opposition to party
declaring in its platform that the war was a
failure, and calling for the appointment of
commissioners for peaceful termination of
the contest?
Little less to-day is depending upon the re-
suit of this canvass The utteranees of Wade
Hampton, Admiral Semmes, and Gen. Forrest
give no uncertain Indication as to the object
they seek to effect by the election of Seymour
and Blair Fooled in their efforts to stop the
war, by their defeat at the polls, their success
to-day means the virtual undoing of the re
suits gained by its successful prosecution
Look as candid men at the record and SEE
what else is at stake.
The most desperate efforts are being mad
by the Democracy to reduce the Republican
majority in the State. Will you give then
aid and comfort by neglectng to 90 to tn
polls, or shall Vermont continue to be tn
" Banner State F" Of the Union, thorough
devoted to Republican principles and institr
tions
We ask of every Republican voter in tn
State that they be on hand to vote til
Eall We ask the various town committe,
in the State to see to it, that our majority /
not reduced through the apathy of voters
their towns.

he says;

of old, makes an ostentatious parade of ASSUME

which suggests extraordinary virtue or claims
extraordinary consideration nor, on the other
hand, do | say it in that spirit of undue hui

confess that he has done wrong, and the cour-
age to say that he is sorry for it, l unhesi.
