towards France caused that nation to
withdraw her troops in 1866, and the
Liberal party quickly recovered the as
cendancy and obtained a complete
triumph.
Since that time Juarez has occupied
the Presidential, chair, and succeeded in
quelling several instructions against
the government.
He has been the only President OF
Mexico who has remained long in power.
Indeed, he has ruled that Republic with
out any interruption during fourteen
years.
He was man of learning and pos
sessed a powerful legal mind. He was
considered one Of the ablest lawyers OF
Mexico. He was quite amiable, truth
full and affectionate toward his friends,
and vindictiye and implacable toward
his enemies.
His wife died short time ago, and he
leaves FIVE daughters and one son to
mourn his loss.
We cannot conclude this notice of the
Mexican President without saying that
his career is stained by the unnecessary
execution Of the Archduke Macmillan,
which Juarez authorized. His friends
say he could not prevent it, but he should
have tried. He stands before the world
jointly responsible for the murder with
that merciless soldier, General Escobedo.

The Moorish Girls.

The young Moorish girl of Algeria is
one of the prettiest and most fascinating
creatures in existence. Her features
are oval, her eyes are wonderfully ex-
pressive; but she is as deceitful as the
most artful European coquette. The
gracefulness of her carriage is exceed
ingly striking. Her hair, which is not
unfrequently straight, though sometimes
curly, is as dark as the ravens plumage.
1t is generally arranged in bands, and is
passed round the head and fastened in a
simple or double tail, which is tied with
ribbons, and almost sweeps the ground
The coiffure is covered with a velvet
chachia, which is fastened under the
chin with two pieces of ribbon.
The Moorish maiden has very small
hands and tiny feet. Her stature is
about the middle hight, and her carriage
graceful. Her costume is generally very
elegant. The plainest toilette consists
of gauze chemise, with short sleeves,
and a serroual (pair of drawers) made of
white calico or muslin, very wide, and
reaching down to the knees. 1t not un-
Frequently happens that the Moorish
maiden wears, in addition to the above
toilette, the "djabadoli," kind of rich
ly embroidered vest, which seldom or
never reaches above the shoulders, and
which tends to contract the chest.
At other times she wears the rlIla,
a kind OF jacket made of silk, and richly
embroidered in gold. She wears over
her hips, not a crinoline, but large
piece Of striped silk called ''fouta," which
reaches down to the ground; and over
that silken sash, the gold-embroidered
ends Of which hang down in front.
When tho 'Flils" is worn, the couture
is changed; aud the chaehia is re-
placed by a silk handkerchief Of bright
colors, or else by the "sarma," which is
nothing else than the "hemine," which
the French women wore in the fourteenth
century. The "sarma," which is made
of gold or silver thread, is generally a
masterpiece OF embroidery.

On Tuesday 28th March, the funeral
of little child of two years old, belong
ing to Mr.. Theodore Dermo was attend
ed by Rev Mr.. Severance. Its malady
was that fatal CcrebrO-spinal meningitis.
The Addison County Temperance
Society, held a convention in Orwell on
Wednesday 9th inst, during the after
noon and evening. The people were
disappointed at not seeing the Presi-
dent of the Society in the chair, and in
not hearing DR.. Kitchels promised ad
dress. The meeting however was not
wanting in able speakers from abroad,
who made the discussions animated and
their appeals earnest. Rev. Mr.. Stone,
the State agent, was present, and added
greatly to the interest of the meeting
In the afternoon the following questions
were discussed.
1. What are the available forces against
intemperance?
?. What is the avOwed position of the
church in reference to temperance.
3. In the evening "what are the mo-
tives to vigorous work in behalf of tenn
pcranCe, now"
These questions ELECTED much thought
from the speakers, which we hope will
quicken the people to duty in the good
cause. The speakers from abroad were
Brothers Cephas Kent, of Ripton; VIM.

Liberal Republicans.

The Tribune has published the follows
ing call for the Liberal Convention
To Col William VI. GrOsvcmor, Chair
man of the Executive Committee of
the Liberal Republican Convention of
Missouri, Washington, d. c..
SIR, We, Republicans Of New York,
wish to express our concurrence in the
principles lately set forth by the Liberal
Republicans of Missouri We make
this departure from the ordinary meth
DDS Of party action from deep conyic-
ton that the organization to which we
belong is under the control Of those who
will use ii chiefly for personal purposes
and to obotruct faireXpreseion of opin-
ion upon important matters which the
gentlemen whom you represent have
laid before the people of thu United
States.
We believe the time has come when
political offences of the past should be
parioned, and that all citizens should be
protected in the rights guaranteed them
~ t4lt N''iA'tlbtittOIi' tIdJ itNttIdl idA-
alton should be imposed for revenue and
50 adjusted as to make the burden upon
the country as light as possible; that
reform in civil service should be made
which will relieve political action from
the influence Of official patronage; that
the right of local self-gOvernment and
the foundation of American freedom
should be treasured, and the encroach-
ent of federal power checked. And we
also believe that at this time a special
duty rests upon the people to do away
with corruption in office. The expos
ures recently made in this State have
brought to light evils which are not con-
fined to our party nor to a single local
ity, and disclose dangers more formi-
dable than any which the Republic has
yet encountered.
With the hope that the movement be-
gun in Missouri may spread through all
the States and influence every political
party, we accept the invitation to meet
the national mass convention at the city
of Cincinnati on the first Wednesday in
May next, and we invite all the Repub-
licans of New York, who agree with us,
10 cooperate in our actions.

sRshoId Thy Mother.s
INSCRIBED TO THE SOCIETY FOR THE ssuossE
FOR AGED wOMEN."

On the disciple whom He loved
Was bent His last beseeching gaze:
Not yet was human tenderness
Absorbed in loves diviner rays.
In this last hour of woe supreme,
For Mary throbbed His sinking heart.
Until that sacred charge was given,
His soul in peace would not depart.
Behold thy Mother" she whose voice
Had sung His infancy to sleep,
With murmurs of Judean song,
While the soft twilight yelled the deep
She whose fond hand had led Him forth
UponH is childhood's upward way,
Until He cared for her, not yet
Could darkness shroud that final day.
''Behold thy motherw spake He then
For more than Mary! Womanhood,
Feeble and frail, He gave in trust,
Crowned with q new beautitude.
For since the loved disciple led
Christs mother down the valley dim.
Each gentle deed for trembling age
Is dear to Mary to Him
In hxmble garb, in suppliant mien.
HIS OlCfa, yet hnger at our door,
The faithful, pure and true of heart,
But aged, desolate and poor.
Oh, let those hands that long have tOllcd.
From labor's weary bondage cease.
Give reverntly to sacred age
A home of honor and of peace.
In such a calm and blest retreat,
How gently will the shadows fall
How softly sink the pilgrim feet
Into the rest that waits us all.
But when TRANSPORTED they arise,
Arrayed in shining youth forever,
How sweet and glad the ''W e1cOme Home.
They'll keep for us beyond the river!

Is there one word in the whole vocab-
ulary more precious in its import to the
tired denizens of this working world
than this little monosyllable-rest?
Man of labor, child of toll, tell us? At
the bench or the pillow, at the desk or
counter, at the bar, in the pulpit, or in
daily and nightly rounds among the sick
and dying-in life professional or unpro-
fes 3ional-in the pent town or open
cou ltry-in heated rooms or in freezing
wind5-on the heaving sea or stable
earth, where wanders or labors the man
or woman to whom the thought of rest
Is not full of pleasure. Rest at night or
noon, rest from hand work or head
work, Is the constant craving of the
weary body and soul.
No wonder that the thought of rest
enters so largely in the common antiCi-
pations of a blessed future. After life's
day of toll the rest that remaineth"
shall come with its unmcasured boon to
the worn and weary.

SATURDAY, MARCH 80, 1872.
The Governor Question.

The canvass relative to the nominal
ton of a candidate for our next Gov
ernor, has been going on for several
months in one form or another until
perhaps the current of public opinion is
settled. A few weeks since we publish
ed short communication sent us from
Woodstock, where the writer volunteered
a prediction relative to our next Gov
ernor and expressed a marked prefer
ence for Hon. Julius Converse. 1t is
our custom to publish such communica-
tions as they reach us, allowing a free
expression of opinion, but do not hold
ourselves responsible for the sentiments
or opinions therein expressed.
The publication of the article referred
to has called out, from majority of the
leading Republican papers of the State,
their views on the subject of the next
Governor. The general current of the ar
ticles is very similar throughout, express
sing great confidence and friendship for
the present incumbent--a desire for his
denomination if he wishes it and the
generous proffer of their cordial sup
port, in which we most heartily coin
eide. In speaking of new nomination
should Governor Stewart decline, as re-
CARDS Mr.. Converse, the feeling seems
very general so far as the press is con-
cerned, that he is held in the highest es-
TEEN, yet that his advanced age will be
an inseparable objection to his nOmina-
nation. The press probably, correctly
enough reflect the sentiments of the
great body of the people. They speak
Of him as being seventy-four years of
age, and that gentleman having reach
ed that advanced period of life would
hardly desire the fleeting honOrs of poll
teal preferment, and that it can hardly
be otherwise in the case of Mr.. Converse.
If the nomination of a new man is to be
made for Governor we shall be pleased
to see it conferred upon citizen of
Windsor county, the person named by
so many of our contemporaries gen.
tleman who is ardent aud active in every
good word and work, whose handsome
liberality has already done much in be-
half of several of the cherished institu-
tions of our commonwealth and who
will confer honor upon the Office of Chief
Frederick Billings, of Wood
stock.
