has been extensive copied and Comment
ed upon throughout the United States, and
the condition of the unfortunate parties
has elected very general interest and sym
pathy. We have received various
and repeated inquiries concerning the
same. We vould state to all that the
facts In the premises are substantially as
given in o1r article upon the subject. We
viii state further that, although through the
vlcisitudes,of war and othermisfortune the
family in foreign land has been reduced to
the sad and straitened condition before
indicated, they were formerly in good cir
cumstances, and had the best of social
surroundings We will add also that thew
have numerous friends and are extensively
and infuentially related, in both this and
adjoining States. Their friends and rela-

CHICAGO, Illinois, April 4, 1S71-DEAR
SIRs: Having Noticed an extract from
your paper in the Chicago Tribune Of
this date, we, the undersigned, have re-
solved to investigate the facts related as
follows:
ga Confederate officer went to Braz1 at
the close Of the war taking with him his
wife and two daughters-one ten and the
other twelve years of age. He was an ed
ucated man, having been a preacher in
Montgomery county, Tennessee. But ap-
parently his was not the ability which
makes men rich in Brazil, and after awhile
he became bankrupt According to the
Brazilian Law, the children OF a citizen who
cannot pay his debts may be sold as
slaves, and the money thus obtained IS
applied in payment Of his obligations.
The unfortunate Tennesseean had become
a nsturslized citizen of the empire, and in
accordance with the adc, both of
his children. now near grown to
womanhood were taken and sold into
slavery, the ransom required TO procure
their liberation being S1,200.
If you can substantiate the statement.
giving Us the name of the man and also
his address Satisfactory, remember1 what
he was minister under II
county, Tenn, the name Of
the town in which he preached. we hereby
pledge ourselves to give him immediate

BIG HAIL STORMS The Burlington
Free Press says: In Mortified the storm
of Sunday week blew down several barns,
twisted off trees eight inches in diameter,
and the hail fell so large and thick as to
leave the ground white for more than two
hours after the storm had passed, hot as it
was that day. The Messenger says Con-
ductor Wallis train encountered the storm
Immediately after leaving the Mortified
depot, and so great was its violence that
it took the strong engine Floss" with 100
pounds of steam, twenty minutes to haul
the train mile. Passengers turned pale
with fright, and every moment it was ex-
pected the train would be blown from the
track. The rain and hail fell in a sheet.
Objects could be distinguished only few
rods distant. In less than five minutes
after the train passed, the track was wash
ed out in several places so that it had to
be repaired before another train could
pass. During the twenty minutes that
the train was in the storm the water rose
so rapidly in places on the track that the
train passed through it Is inches in depth,
compelling the engine to stop after it
reached dry land to clean out the mud.
A man coming over Brandon noun.
tain" on Tuesday, two hours after the
storm, picked up hail-stones two inches
in diameter and drove through heaps four
inches deep. Another person picked up
hail.stones seven inches in circumference

THE VOICE OF THE JOURNALS.
VERSAILLES, June
The Figaro proposes the re.establish-
ment of gaming houses and lotteries, as
an attraction for strangers to Paris, and
also favors the abolition of passports and
the law against strikes.
The Verite says that a compromise has
been effected by which the law exiting
the Orleans princess from France is to be
repealed, and their election declared val
i'd. The princes are, however, not to take
the seats to which they have been chosen
and must agree not to intrigue for the
throne. 1t is said that Theirs has given
his assent to this plan.
The Verite estimates the damage to
Paris from fighting and CONGREGATIONS at
sOO,OOO,O00 francs ; 100000 francs
worth of merchandise was burned, ex-
elusive of the docks de la Villette and
warehouses.
The Council of Hygenie of Paris de-
clares that there is no epidemic in the
city and that such precautionary meas
ures have been adopted as will prevent
the spread of any disease. They also
state that the health of Paris at present is
satisfactory.

WALLINGFORD.- is something
peculiar and unique about our "Walling-
ford time" There is no good reason why
there should be from fifteen to twenty
minutes variation 10 all the clocks and
watches in town from railroad time. 1t
or funerals without being on the ground
either fifteen minutes too early or as
much too late.
Passengers have to wait great deal at
the depot, and the trains are always from
fifteen to thirty minutes late by their
watches. Just twenty minutes before
ring their twelve o'clock bell and five
minutes before E. II. Bradford i Co.'S
steam whistle gives its twelve o'clock
toot, and to cap the climax and close up
the day the nine o'clock bell rang at if
teen minutes before nine. There certain
~ ought to be an end made to this scat
tering and uncertain way of doing bust
ness in this age in which we live. The
only remedy for these troubles is to have
the tannery and the fork factories run,
and the nine o'clock bell rung, by railroad
time, and to have every clock and watch
in town put back to correspond. This is
the way that you do business in Rutland,
and when the "big whistle blows every
body in its hearing knows to q minute
that it is noon and accordingly starts for
dinner.
Let this way of doing things be at once
adopted here. The railroad time can be
got at the telegraph office. The exact
time is telegraphed from Rutland every
day at 8 a. m. Railroad time is Boston
time, which is ten minutes faster than
New York time. The true time for Wal
lingford would nearly correspond with
that of New York. Then let every thing
move in future by railroad time.
The destructive fires that have occur
red so frequently of late in our neighber-
ing towns, Vergennes, Ludlow, Mendon,
East Wallingford, Healdville and else
where, destroying so much valuable prop
erty, are very suggestive. The extreme
drought that prevails 80 extensively in
cresses the danger from fires tenfold.
Everything burns like finder and when q
fire once gets Roadway, the scarcity, or an
entire lack of water renders it entirely
uumanageble, and so it RACES, until every
thing within its reach is reduced to ashes.
Ia view of what has been so recently
experienced in neighboring towns, is it
not the dictate of prudence, that our old
fre-engine should be repaired or replaced
by better one. A word to the wise is
sufficient P.
