Consolidation of two Large Scale
Companies.

An important movement in the inter-
ests of manufacturing in Western YER
mont has recently been contaminated by
the consolidation of the Howe Scale
Company and the Sampson Scale Com
pany of New York, the particulars of
which is embraced in an extract below.
1t is well known that since the Howe
Scale company was reorganized under the
name of the Brandon Manufacturing
Company, of which N. T. Sprague, Jr., is
the President and chief manager, new
life and energy has been infused into the
manufacture of the Howe scale. This
has been mainly due to the indefatigable
and energetic labors of Mr.. Sprague,
whose business energy and enthusiasm
are bound to give this company first
rank and SO vitalize the manufacturing
interests of Brandon as to not only in
crease their already prosperous and thriv-
ing community, but also infuse new life
and stimulate manufacturing in all this
section of Western Vermont.
The Brandon Manufacturing Company
make scales of all sizes, from the smallest
to the largest, and the constant demand
for them from Maine to California indi-
cate in what estimation they are held as
a standard scale, and this appreciation of
their value must psove highly gratifying
to the managers and the people of Bran

The Greatness Of small Towns.


Many humble towns and feeble parishes
in Vermont have been of worth and SER
vice to the world, quite beyond proportion
to their rank and size. They have pro-
duced men of mark and power, and en-
dowiEg them with noble home virtues and
native force and thorough education, have
sent them forth to fill large spheres of
honorable service to the country and to
the world. In our most retired towns
and small churches among the mountains,
there has all along been very liberal
gift of these sound minds in sound bodies
if not genius, often what is even better
than that, men of strong, good sense and
working faculty, such as church and
state and every form of enterprise eagerly
covert and thankfully receive at our
hands.
Many such towns seem to have had it
for their very vocation, while producing
little else, to be fertile of strong men and
choice souls beyond their share; as if in
this genial air and homely life the good
gifts of sound sense and practical, clear
headed strength, loved to find embodi-
ment. Certainly they have found and
run very freely in these channels. Every
reader will recall instances of churches,
very feeble in numbers and wealth, and
towns of no great note in other respects,
that have for generations had a record of
honor greatly beyond larger places, for
the gifted and educated men they have
given to the world.
Of the 1884 graduates of Middlebury
College, it would surprise anyone what
a share has come from these rural towns;
and how many of them, bringing with
them a resolute purpose and vigor of
mind and body, have made excellent at
tainments and now fill places of honorable
service. Of these about 470 have been
ministers of the gospel in the several
christian denominations.

y UPRIGHT PoLITICIANs.-Many respect
able people shirk their political duties
upon the excuse that it is "disreputable'
to have anything to do with politics. The
New York independent has word to say
to all such which ought to have their at
tentien. We quote:
''The most tremendous present need OF
the country is of good and true men TAX
taking part in politics; and not merely
taking part in politics, but giving them
selves sacredly and forcefully to politics,
in word, getting inside politics. and
crowding the scoundrels outside. For
the want of upright, thoughtful, incor-
ruptible, heightened men in American
politics American civilization is in
peril. The same class of men should be
our politicians as are the politicians of
England, France, Germany - scholars,
thinkers, literary men, accomplished law
yers, successful merchants, men who can
not be brought. How harmful it is,
therefore, for the idea to be propagated
among such men in America that to be
inside politics is to be in situation of

them can possibly be furnished with q
place on the walls of the present rooms.
This gift does not add to the simplicity
Of the problem before the library commit
tee of the city government.
1t is well to mention the Atheneum Ii
brary, situated on Beacon street, which
contains in the vicinity of a hundred
thousand volumes Of books, but which is
somewhat limited or exclusive in it's pat
ronage and management, being corpora
ton and semi-private. This is the favor
tie resort of literary men, and other pro-
fessional men making much use OF books
and literary productions. There is also
reading room connected with this IL
brary, which is frequented by the same
classes and gentlemen of leisure and re-
fined life. There is also in this same
building the library of the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences, of nearly
twenty thousand volumes, but mostly re-
lating to the different departments of
science; being wholly for the use of this
class of educated men.
This Athen@um has statuary gallery,
and one for paintings, in which the visi-
tor to the city can see, at most times, rare
works of art, to which rooms they are
always welcomed.
These various associations, by reason of
their prosperity, will eventually be the
means of supplying the city with many
fine buildings. And however much their
supporters may be taxed, the public can
be passive gamers to a considerable ex-
tent, as there is a certain worth in the
taste displayed in this way, to the outside
world B.

Corruption and Bribery at wash.
ingtOn.

The surroundings of Congress and the
departments, in regard to eorruptions, are
surely getting to be alarming. Bribery
and corruption seem to walk stalwart and
bold at the national capital 1t is sad
omen of the decay of sterling integrity
that these things have for years past been
creeping into the places of power-nay,
into the very heart of the government
and the national council. The very air
of the society of Washington seems to be
filled with the boldest phases of bribery,
When shall an end to this great evil come |?
Every day brings some new rumor, or
actual transgression. Two instances have
recently been reported.
A disclosure was made on Wednesday
by which it is found that the investiga-
ton as TO the distribution of Cuban bonds
in Washington is instigated by agents and
hired emissaries of the Spanish govern
ment. These agents-One of them an ex-
member of Congress who does not come
into court with clean hands-have been
offering to purchase Cuban bonds; and in
two instances where they had promised
to purchase several thousand dollars
worth, have, under various presentations,
taken but small amount, in all expend-
ing but three hundred dollars, besides the
amounts spent in wines and dinners. The
ex-member of Congress has been acting
as detective, and has decoyed several of
his former friends into the snare. For his
services he has already received twelve
hundred dollars in Spanish gold, and is to
receive large contingent reward in case
the scheme succeeds. That scheme is to
break the force of Cuban sympathy in
Congress, one Of the means to that end
being to make it appear that Cuban SYM
pathy has been purchased by Cuban
bonds. The affair is to be investigated
in Congress. |H
An alleged attempt at bribery of gov
eminent official in Washington has just
come to light. A handsome bouquet of
flowers was sent to Mrs. George B. Nc
Cartee, wife of the chief of the Bureau of
Engravings and Printing, at the Ebbitt
House. A piece of paper containing
$1,700 was placed in the basket. Mr..
McCartee handed the money to Secretary
Boutwell,, who, placed it in his safe, and
upon investigation it was discovered that
a German florist had sold the basket of
flowers to three gentlemen at Wizards
Hotel, on the night the basket was sent
to the Ebbitt House. The German was
brought before the Secretary and stated
pretty clearly to whom he had sold
flowers. Two of these gentlemen were
officers Of bank note company of New
York. Secretary BOUTWELL, sent for one
of the parties, who acknowledged that he
was aware of the floral present. 1t is I'M
derstood several members of Congress
were informed of the matter, who inti-
mated their intention to thoroughly in
vestigate the case III Congress.
