The unity of Germany has been off,
cially announced and congratulations
rendered by other nations, among which
are those of our own government. The
German Empire is organized in many
respects like the United States. They
now have some twenty-six States, each
with their local governments, and a par
Lament whose powers are sufficient to
check any excuses of the Emperor
same as our Congress exercised during
the reign of Andrew johnson. Their
school system is superior to any in the
world, and it is certainly matter Of
much congratulation that an Empire in
the old world has SO far adopted re-
publican form of government.

The great Northern Pacific railroad
enterprise is one in which Vermonters
may and no doubt will take especial in
terest. Several Vermonters are among
the leading men engaged in it. Gov.
Smith of st. Adams is president Of it,
and Hons. Fred. Billings of Woodstock,
and I. FL. Garfield Of Burlington, are
among the directors. The work of con-
struction is going on rapidly, and is
characteristic of American enterprise.
Elsewhere we give an article on its pres
ent status, and also an advertisement for
a loan TO which we call attention.

Senator Morrill, of Maine has not TAX
en- his seat in the Senate as announced.
He only went as far as Boston ON his
way to Washington, and was obliged to
return, and now we are sorry to say his
health is such that his recovery is re-
garded as more than doubtful. The
proceedings in the Senate, therefore,
what have sometimes been given as mo-
tons and propositions by "Morrill of
Me-" must have referred to our own
Vermont Senator.

The Hudson River Railroad
Disaster.


The whole number of killed by tn,
Hudson River disaster at New Ham
burg, last week is 81. The most bruta
and unfeeling conduct is reported a
having occurred at the scene of the dis
aster, but it is not likely to have beer
done by the railroad employees as report
ed. A passenger says there did not APP
pear to be any one in authority, and the
trunks were broken open and pillaged
by wholesale. One Of the mfeeline
brutes got book of written sermons
probably belonging to the unfortunate
Fowler, which he read aloud amid the
jeers ind laughterof theunfeeling crowd.
Articles of female apparel would be
pulled out of the trunks and held up to
view in sport, and the bodies themselves
were roughly fished out, as if they were
SO much carron, and then a rope was
passed round them and they were dragg-
ed over the rough ice to a car, which was
some distance of, the rough edges of the
ice cutting into their flesh and marking
the track with blood, which will account
in part for the mutilated condition of
the bodies.
The wife of Geo. S. Benedict of the
"a
Cleveland Herald was not with him when
he was killed, but at home. George r.
Thompson of New York City, Yer
monter and son of the late d. p.
Thompson, the author, OF Montpelier,
was among the killed.
Many and sad were the stories related
by those who had escaped. One gentle
man said that he had started for the
West with his wife, and all of his prop
erty, consisting of $4,000, intending to
settle there. Wishing to speak with a
friend in rear car, he left his wife for
a moment, but before he could return
the collision came and he did not see
her again till her mangled and disfgured
body was taken from the ruins. A la
dy said she was on her way to Buffalo
with two sisters, and, wishing to make
some arrangements with friends in the
rear car, went back, and had barely es-
capped from the car when the explosion
took place. There were some very re-
markable escapes from the train. Mr..
Farwell and wife were in the second car
and sprang out, saving their lives, but
leaving valuable watch and eight hun
dred dollars in money behind them.
The investigation thus far seems to
leave little doubt that the economy"
of the managers, in disposing with the
services of signal man on the bridge,
was the cause besides some other things.

The Moon AND THE Sun SPor.-A
curious phenomenon was noticed during
the recent solar eclipse Of the 22d of last
December. 1t was the perfect apparent
contact of the limb of the moon with
one of the largest spots on the sun. The
body of the moon itself and the sun-spot
were SO entirely part and parcel of each
other" in tint Of inky hue, that no trace
of division was perceptible, the sun-spot
taking on the form of an excresence tut
ting out from the moons circumference

new theory from this correspondence

WHAT WE EAT.-Between the disease
that atfiicts the neat cattle just at pres
ent, the frequent shocking revelations Of
the treatment of live stock by drovers
and railroads while on the road to mar
ket, and the greed of the butchers, it is
difficult to decide what to eat and still
more perplexing to tell what we do eat
Having dined, and feeling tolerable Sc
cure for to-day, we will illustrate this
subject by a true local story. A gentle
man in this city had horse fall sick and
after several weeks Of unavailing treat
ment by horse doctor, died. His remains
were duly turned over to well known
horse undertaken of the eastern part of
the town, who, instead of burying, en-
balming or burning them cut them up
and boiled them into soup which was fed
to the swine at an extensive hog fatten-
ing establishment in the suburbs of the
city As the gentleman purchased his
butchers meats at shop where this
pork was sometimes cut up, some mem
bers of his family believed they traced
with frightful directness their old horse
back to the dishes on their own table,
If we must eat horse we implore the
butchers, to give it to US Straight and
not employ the services of such middle
men as the horse undertaken and the
sausage maker.-Sprinqfeld Republican.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

A Pitiful Conditi6n.-It is a sad thing
to pass through life only half alive. Yet
there are thousands whose habitual con-
dition is one of langour and debil-
ity. They complain of no specific disease;
they suffer no positive pain; but they have no
relish for anything which affords mental or
sensuous pleasure to their more robust and
energetic ow-beings. lll
In. nine cases ont of ten this state Of lassi-
tude and torpor arises from a morbid stom-
ach. Indigestion destroys the energy Of both
mind and body. When the waste Of nature is
not supplied by due and regular assimila-
ton Of the food. every organ is starved, every
function interrupted.
Now, what does common sense suggest un-
der these circumstances Of depression? The
system needs rousing and strengthening; not
merely for an hour or two, 10 sink afterward
into a more pitiable condition than ever (as it
assuredly would do if an ordinary alcoholic
stimulant were resorted to). but radically and
permanently.
How is this desirable object to be accom-
plished? The answer to this question. founded
on the unYarying experience Of quarter Of a
century, is easily given. Infuse new vigor
into the digestive organs by a course Of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. Do not waste time
in administering temporary remedies. but
wake the system up by recuperating the foun-
tain head Of physical strength and energy.
the great organ upon which all the other
organs depend for their nurture and support.
By the time that dozen doses Of the great
vegetable tonic and inyieorant have been
taken, the feeble frame Of the dysDepic win
begin to feel its benign influence. Appetite
will be created. and with appetite the capacity
to digest what it Graves. Persevere until the
cure is complete-until beautiful blood. &, to
