REPORT OF A LECTURE BY PROF. JAMES
DAVID BUTLER.

We take great pleasure in presenting
to our readers a report of a lecture deliv-
cred in Madison, Wis, by Prof. James
David Butler-a native of Rutland. We
shall frequently in the future present
to our readers productions from the pen
of this distinguished scholar. This ar
ticle has long been delayed from the press,
of other matter upon our space, but it has
lost nothing of its interest by delay. The
report is taken from the State Journal,
published at Madison, Wisconsin
A large audience assembled at the City
Hall last evening, to hear the first of the
Institute Course of Home Lectures, and,
if all are alike unto the first, it will furn-
ish for our citizens large amount of in
formation, instruction and amusement
Justice J. R. Baltzel, President of the
Institute, announcted that the next lee
ture course would be given by Rev. Mr..
Bartlett of Chicago, about the 4th of
January, and then presented Prof. Butler
to the audience.
The Professor spoke without using any
manuscript, manner of speech which is
much preferable, other things being equal,
for keeping the attention of an audience.
His delivery was less animated than some
times, and rather too deliberate, with oc-
casional hesitancy, as if at loss what to
say next. His lecture occupied about an
hour and half, and was a feast of good
things, embracing much interesting and
valuable information, impaired in a man
ner to impress itself upon the memory,
spiced with Attic wit, and garnished with
many a pleasant anecdote and many a
pithy proverb and apt quotation from the
Professors well stored memory 1t was
listened to with very close attention
throughout, and appreciation also shown
by occasional applause and laughter at
particularly good points made.
| The story of his visit to the Sandwich
Islands was prefaced by brief account
of their history since, ninety years ago
their inhabitants were first heard of az
having killed Captain Cook and eaten him
up, and some fifty years ago, when mis-
| scenarios first went to labor there. He
spoke of their character as oannibals, and
gave bis idea of the cause for man eating
declared that Cook had no business t.
name the islands, because not their frs
discoverer, and had made poor choice il
taking the name of an English Earl in
stead of giving one like Rainbow Isles
10 lands resplendent with rainbows, OF
craters, cascades, reefs and mountains
The islanders called themselves Kanakas
foreigners Howries, and their island
Hawaii Mel steam, descriptive of tn
volcanic vapors so abundant on the chic
island. Once far away, by the Pacifi
Railroad aud the Pacific Steamship
Line, making ten trips year, thes
islands-though 1900 miles from any
where, in the midst of the sea, and as Low
, latitude as our most southern territory
were brought to our doors; and the speak
er expected to live to see them part Of tn
United States, and to hear them called
perhaps, the Sunset States, as they wer
in the fGrthest corner of the west, at tn
antipodes of Greenwich. .

A very interesting account was given
by the lecturer of the appearance OF the
reef protected island of Oahu and of the
harbor and town of Honolulu, which has
some $4,000 inhabitants, including quite
a number of Yankees, the sign of whose
business places had very American look;
of the king sitting in his buggy on the
wharf looking out for some live stock he
was expecting, and Frenchman waiting
for an invoice of bull-frogs. Charming
pictures were given of scenes on the
islands, in and about the town OF the
dress of the natives the trees and other
vegetation, and the luscious fruits, which
the Professor set his audience to banker
ing after. It was stated that there were
667 indigenous plants on the islands, and
that they might well be called "Flower
Island" for the great abundance growing
and "worn"by the people
Hawaiian hospitality YVES praised as
yery generous, and one great element of
it was "horse-pitality," the equine quad
ruped being very plenty and cheap, and
freely lent, and some delightful rides on
borrowed horse were described.
The most interesting part or the lecture
was the account of voyage in schooner
to Hilo, graphically told), and visit to
the great volcanic, Kilaueu, where he
found himself the seventh "howry," or
foreign pilgrim of the season-the very
first who had come across the trans-conti-
mental railway. The island volcano had
crater 1000 feet deep, in which ten
cones as large as Vesuvius might be
thrown and not fill it, with its bottom
partly covered by floor black as ink,
through which jets of steam and smoke
were darting, and square mile OF 1t
burning lake. The professor descended
to the bottom and spent eight honrs in
walking about and exploring it, and his
description was the best that we ever saw
or read of any volcano, and except the
"goblins damned" would answer for an
old-fashioned description of the internal
regions with "lake of fire and brim-
stone" This feature of the lecture, if
nothing else, would amply compensate for
the outlay of time and money necessary
to hear it.
After speaking of the character of the
people, "the most loveable of all barbara
ans" manner of dress, living, the
churches, schools, &C., which they had
established; some time was devoted to an
account of the government, the present
King (who is not friendly to Yankees)
&C., and some convincing reasons shown
why the islands should and would ulti-
mately become annexed to the United
States, the Professor closing with few
lines of poetry, describing the islands as
precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of wall
Against the envy of less happy lands,
That sunset state, that white faced rainbow reef,
Whose foot spurns back the oceans roaring tides,
That other Eden-demi-paridise

ALLCooK's POROUS PLAsTERs.

Step by step this commodity has attained Its
unprecedented fame. They are universally ap'
proved. They supports, strengthen, and aid the
growth of muscles. They appear to have Pc
culiar effect upon the nerves, aIlaying irritabl1-
ty, while supplying warmth. They seem to &C
cumulate electricity, and aid the circulation Of
the blood through the part where applied, by
which healthy actions are induced.
Even in paralysis, where articulation was sus-
pended, the use of the Porous Plasters to the
spine restored the articulation, and materially
reduced the paralysis. In fact, the patient could
help herself, while before the Porous Plaster was
applied she was as helpless as baby. We refer
to Mrs. Sally Elliot, Springfield, Mass.

THE TROTTING STALLION
THOMAS JEFFERSON,

Will make season, commencing April 18th, and
ending July 10Th, at
Col. s. E. STOWELL's, CORNWALL, VT,
and will be limited to Fifty Mares at sl00.-s50
of the money is due and payable at the time of
service, and the balance $780, is due and payable
after the LIST of January, 1871 unless it is evident
the mare is not in foal. A mare proving to be
not in foal, may be returned the next season
without additional payment, and if the mare
proves to be in foal $50 will be due for the SER
vice and payable on demand.
Thomas Jefferson by Toronto Chief, by Royal
George, &c, out of the celebrated trotting mare
Gipsey Queen, the four mile race horse Wagner,
second dam by Glencoe, is black, fifteen hands
and one inch, and the highest over his hips, of
tine temper, fine figure, and best head and tail
on any one horse, is six years old past, can trot
three heats in 80, and is regarded by his owner,
the best Trotting Stock Horses in New England.
L think am justified in saying to the formers Of
Vermont, that it is the opinion of those who have
seen Thomas jefferson that he is first class
horse and his colts will prove source of revenue
to the Breeder and the State. If he is suitably
patrsnized l intend he shall live and die in Aa-
olson County.
Col Stowell will have the immediate manage
ment of this stallion, and every one who goes to
see him will also see Mambrino Patchen, the
best full sized stallion in New England in my
opinion, and will be treated with ciyility and
fairness. VIM. b. SMITH,

THE BOSTON BAGGAGE THIEF AR
REsTED.-A man with several aliases,
whose real name is L. A. Andres, a resi-,
dent of Wells River, Vt, was arrested on
the 9th, at Lowell, Mass. The station
agent at Wells River received last week
two cases of shoes, destined for station
on the White Mountain road, which laid
over a day at his station. On going tc
ship the shoes it was found the address Of
one case had been changed to Lowell
President Reyes, of the Passumpsic road
ordered the shoes to be shipped to Lowell,
and directed that the party calling for
them should be arrested. Andres fell
into this trap, and on searching him, rail.
road checks, labels, etc., in a considerable
quantity were found. 1t was found fur
thermore that en- route to Lowell he had
taken Vermont Central check from a
trunk sent from Montpelier to Boston,
and supplying its place with Northern
Railroad check, had obtained it at Lowell.
1t is ascertained that this fellow has for a
long time been carrying on this business
between Wells River and Boston. In a
search of his house, six trunks contain
ing quantities of ladies' wearing apparel,
and three carpet bags and other articles,
all unquestionably stolen, were found.
Andres was brought TO vermont Monday,
by q Vermont officer.

successful in the cure of disease, because they
used Natures remedies and did not poison the
system with mineral extracts Their roots, herbs
and harks cured efectually, and their tribes were
noted for their longevity. Sixteen OF these RENE

VIRGINIA.-A sensational report comes
from Washington to the effect that the
President has been informed that the
Virginia Legislature is preparing to take
back its ratification of the fifteenth
amendment, and that the members intend
to rush the repeal through both houses on
the same day, without notice and without
debate. We respectfully beg leave to dis
believe the story. 1t is impossible that
the Virginia Legislature should do such
an act of "pure cussedness" as this would
be- The amendment would not be de-
feated if Virginia should take back its
assent forty times over; but if it would
be, the State couldn't afford to have the
reputation of doing it at this stage of her
progress, and to show the will without
having the power would be just as bdd,-
for the State.

CoAI. MININa.-The Scranton Repub-
lican says there is still general suspen-
sion of labor in the collieries of the
schuylkill mining region. Operators say
that they cannot afford to carry on work
according to the last years. basis, and the
miners have so far refused to go to work
on any other terms. All the mines at
Scranton and vicinity are being operated,
however, as the owners there can afford
to, and do, pay higher wages than can be
afforded in the Schuylkill region. The
Scranton miners refuse to strike as long
as they are doing as we'll as now, SO there
is little prospect of general strike like
last years. All parties expect that coal
is going to rule lower this year than last,
and consumers certainly hope it will
prove to be so.
