VERMONT IN FICTIoN.-The New York
SIN says that among the passengers who
sailed on the st. Laurent, for Europe, on
Saturday, April 30th, were "Rose and
Blanche" twin daughters of the late Ma
thaniel Niles, and known as the heroines
in Eugene Sues "Wandering Jew" Miss
Lizzie, Niles goes to Paris, where she is
to be married to nj. Cerrute, late italian
minister in Washington. By their
fathers death they come into possession
of the "casket" of diamonds, of which a
thrilling history is given in that novel.
The oasket was presented to their mother
by the Empress Josephine, and is actually
worth only $4,000, although represented
by Mr. Sue as being worth $500, 900.
Their father, Nathaniel Niles, was
native of Vermont, and, we believe, al
ways claimed to be q resident of this
State. He was, for considerable space.
leading politician and distinguished
statesman.
He was Secretary of Legation to the
French mission in 1880, William G. Rives
of Virginia being the Minister. In 1888
he was appointed Special Agent from the
United States to Sardinia, and subsequent
ly, in 1S4S, under the administration of
President Polk, was Charge d'Affairs to
the same power. His father, whese name
was also Nathaniel. was born in Rhode
Island in 1741, and graduated at Prince
ton College, New Jersey, in 1766. He
was a student of law, medicine and the
ology, and was the inventor of making
wire from bar iron, by water power, and
erected in Norwich, Conn, wooden card
mandatory.
He subsequently came to Vermont, and
resided at West Fairlee. He was mem
Der of the Legislature, Speaker of the
House of representatives., member of the
Council of Censors, and of the Governors
Council, Judge of the Supreme Court,
member of Congress, and six times an
Elector of President and Vice President.
He had quite reputation as a writer
of poetry and sermons, and for twelve
years preached in his own house.
He died in West Fairlee, in November,

BURNING OF A RAILROAD BRIDGE II
BRANDoN.--About fifteen minutes after
three p. m, Thursday, the alarm of fire
sounded through the streets. 1t was soon
discovered to be the railroad bridge Just
north Of the station at Brandon. When
the alarm was given vast volumes of smoke
arose, and the strong wind prevailing at
the time showed that il would be difficult
to accomplish anything. The engine was
promptly at the fire, and mannod by those
lucky or unlucky enough to be that side
of the river. For more than an hour the
men, mostly those from the scale shop,
threw water with will almost ss hope
less as any forlorn hope, but nevertheless
determined that their old reputation
should be kept up. The bridge was an
open bridge, not covered, well barred,
and burned very fercely. About fifteen
minutes to FIVE o'clock the structure fell
in, leaving the track and floor of the
bridge still there, but that sass seme five
feet below level. We understand that
this will cause no delay of trains, as it il
only short distance to go around until
the bridge is repaired After the fire was
over, at the invitation of Mr.. Chas. Page,
the station agent, barrel of ale was dis
tributed to those who had worked.
The loss is estimated at four thousand
dollars, which is understood TO be fully
covered by insurance.

The Paraguayan Investigation.

The Committee on Foreign Affairs in
the House are getting decidedly mixed
over the Washburn-Lopez Paraguayan
investigation The committee appointed
to examine witnesses and take testimony
on the subject have taken so large an
amount of evidence that it will take seve-
raj volumes of public documents to show
as the only result of their labors. We
Judge that the committee are not agreed,
and there is prospect of two reports.
One branch of the committee is in favor
Of censuring Gen. Mahon, Admiral Davis,
and the naval authorities acting under
the latter The other thinks that Wash
burn was guilty Of conduct unbecoming
a representative of our government
abroad. A third party is of the opinion
that the testimony taken by the commit
tee established the fact that the late Pres
ident Lopez was a tyrannioal monster.
Still another party wants to compromise
the whole matter by distributing the
blame all around. We judge that each
member of the committee must constitute
himself faction in 30 wide division
We are not advised IA to which Of these
factions our member of Congress, Mr..
Willard, who is on the committee, be-
longs.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MEDICAL
CoLLEGEs,-Thisi important body has
been in Convention in the City of Wash
ington, D. @. At the session last Satur-
day the subject under consideration was
the adoption of proposition looking to
more thorough education on the part of
persons applying for matriculation in
Medical Colleges. After long debate a
proposition was adopted to the effect that
the subject of the proposition made by the
convention of delegates from the Medical
Colleges at Cincinnati in 1867, embodying
the system of Collegiate medical educa-
tion, is in the highest degree oommenda-
BILE, tending to elevate the profession /;
that the requirements for the degree OF
Doctor of Medicine must be practically
determined by each Medical College for
itself, and that consequently, while abb
staining from all attempts at dictation,
the Association reiterates, in the strong
est manner, its desire that the several
Medical Colleges will, in the changes from
time to time made by them in the curri'
culum of study, endeavor to conform
them to the general plan which was re.
commended by the Convention of 1867
and adopted the same year by the Ameri'
can Medical Association.
