Tax payers should not forget tina.
the Democrats in Congress voted for
the abolition Of the income tax
They voted against fixing it at two
and half per cent. They believed
that the pledge made by Congress
that this tax should not extend be-
yond 1870 should be redeemed. They
believed and voted to sustain their
conviction that the tax was unnec-
essary, if the affairs cf the govern
ment We're administered with proper
regard to economy. In word they
acted in accord with the wishes c.
the people in reference to the abolit.

the Radicals voted to rcimpose this
odious tax upon the people. They
will not reduce expenses. They will
not reduce the army of useless Office

the skill of the most eminent physicians
Mrs. Kent for short time prior to Oct

ended, and surrounded by her many rela-

Suicide of IA False Judge.

Judge Delesvaux, once the terror OF Par
isian journalists, and who for his never
falling ingenuity IN framing reasons for
conviction of every press case brought be-
fore him, was promoted in the latter days
of the Empire from the Tribunal of Cor
regional Police to the Presidency of g
Civil Chamber, has committed suicide.
The news, says Tours correspondent OF
the Daily N6acS of London, is brought
from Paris by balloon, and long details
are given in the IeupJe S0UCerdtn. Be
fore destroying himself, he sat up al
night writing. At three o'clock IN the
morning his valet, who had lived with
him for twenty-four years, seeing light
in his bedroom, opened the door and took
the liberty of recommending his master TO
20 to bed. The Judge said, presently,
and dismissed the servant in peremptory
tone which he was not in the habit OF
using towards him. The man was shocked
TO see how deathly pale the Judge looked,
and this was more remarkable because he
had red scorbutic face.
At six o'clock, having remained at his
desk all the time, III. Delesvaux rang for
his servant, gave him a packet of letters,
which he said be was to deliver TO their
address, and told him to let nobody dis
turb him. A few minutes later report
of shot was heard, and N. Delesvaux
was found with his head bathed in blood,
quite dead. Some of the letters will pro.
baby reveal the motives for the act.
Judge Delesvaux, who was raised to the
bench for the zeal which he displayed as
commissary of police at the Coup d Etdt,
was lonely man, and scarcely ever went
INTO society. He lived somewhere in The
quarter of the Madeline, and have fire.
quently met him in the evening walking
on the Boulevard, or in the Passage de
fOpera, fourishing a thick cane and
smoking a oigsr, and always by himself.
He was fond of taking glass OF beer IN
an English or German tavern, and did
not mind the naonstrOr digitO pTEtereatl!.-
tiuza, which in his case was never compll-
mentary.

LETTER FROM JOHN CAIN.
RUTLAND, Nov. 4th, 1877

RUTLAND, Nov. 4th, 1870.
To the Editor of the Herald Il have
just received an important and very en-
couraging letter from Hon. John A. Poor
of Portland, which in day or two-when
1 hope my health may be restored-I shall
lay before the directors of the Rutland
and Woodstock Railroad Company, so as
to take action for q consolidated line OF
road from Portland, Maine, to Oswego
upon Lake Ontario.
l would take the liberty here to add
that if the people of Rutland will now
come up manfully to the work-let by
cones be by-gones-and subscribe an
amount to be agreed upon, say 100000
to the Woodstock road and $4,000 to the
A addison County road-one feeder for
the other-I feel sanguine that both will
be completed at an early day.
Gov. Stearns of New Hampshire agreed
to build the road from Bristol to Danbury
and lay new track from thence to White
River Junction and see that they are
moving with strength from Oswego to
Fort Ann.
In conclusion, let me ask you to pub
Iish the following.
Truly yours,
JOHN CAIN.

The Blood Drops of Christ.
LINES PENcILED ON HORSEBACK IN SYRIAN
TOUR.

INES PRNCILED ON HORSEBACK IN sYR
TOUR.
When landing first on Sharon's pain,
In walks by Jordan's stream,
On Jezreel's fields of waving grain,
Where Hermon's glaciers CLEAN.
Above the crest of Olivet,
And treading, many an hour,
The Holy Land, oft have met
And plucked blood-red flower.
"Blood-drops of Christ" the peasants call
The multitudinous gem,
Which reddens thus the meadows ali,
From Dan to Bethlehem.
The stream that gushed from Jesus breast,
In golden legend sung,
Lay not in dust, knew not of rest,
But straightway. upward sprung.
It rose this flower, which, east and west,
Meath Palestinian skies,
Blooms earliest, latest, brightest, best,
And wintry storm defes.
Gray ruin Ger Judea lowers,
Jerusalem lies waste,
Her purest shrines, her strongest towers,
By war and time defaced.
Outlasting Herod's walls Of stone,
This blossom we behold,
More gorgeeusly than Solomon,
Its purple robes unfold.
It's chalice pours in crimson fool,
On each ensanguined sod,
The cup of sacramento blood
Shed by the Lamb of God.
God, broadly On the common track,
This floral angel sent,
That Palestine might nowhere lack
The Savior's monument.
Dat seei,iney paIbeo and po5-~erat
No blood drop met my sight,
AS to grow the emblem shoot
We're only Judah's right.
Nor marvel I, the herb OF grace
Confines it's influence sweet,
To regions where, IN dolorous race,
Christ walked with bleeding feet.
Yet, far remote from Palestine
The mystic fowret roams,
For myriad pilgrims now combine
To shrine it in their homes.
And farther than this ruby flower
Pilgrims beyond the sea,
The blood of Christ shall prove its power
To make men truly free.
The Moslem crescent pales and dies,
Hopeless the wizards weep,
But the sole blood that purifes
On wings of fire shall sweep
Through climes from which no pilgrim feet
Have sought the sacred shore,
When the last flowers their course complete
And earth ehall be no more.
When the child Christ to Egypt went,
Eluding Herod's wrath,
And palms, with fruit and foliage, bent
Their boughs along his path,
The Holy babe babe heavenward bear
A branchlet from those trees,
And straight an angel scared in air
To do his Lords DEGREES.
That palm-spray, planted inithe skies,
There grows and blossoms still,
But, when the dead in Christ shall rise
To stand-on Zion's hill,
From its wide grove it then shall yield
The branches 10 be waved,
In homage on the crystal field,
BY NATIONS OF the saved.
Beneath those palms, let us believe,
Blood drops of Christ now bloom,
And their angelic care receive,
Till saints shall burst the tomb.
One shadows forth his triumph, ons
His agony ana war;
The palms are grand, but, to atone,
Blood-drops are mightier far.
The palm benefcent that stopped
a hungry babe to cherish,
In thirsty sands no longer dropped
Sky-planted meier to perish.
Seeds of well-doing hast thou sown-
To heaven they shall ascend,
Bear fruits no earthly cline hath known,
And bear them to the end.
