Republican party in 1910, being among
the first in Spain to embrace their ideas.
In 1913 he was appointed by the Rcpub
licans their commissioner to Madrid, to
organize the movements which We're at
that time attempted by the Liberals. In
1851 he was elected Deputy to the Cortes
from Barcelona. Three years later he
was member of the Revolutionary
Junta at Tarragona, and was one of the
one-and-twenty who voted against the
monarchy. He engaged in the abortive
revolutionary attempts of January and
June, 1866, and was in 1867 arrested for
conspiracy. He has been, in everything,
an honest and irrepressible Republican,
and by his great powers and well known
moral integrity has been of much service
to his party. Of his eloquence, Caste

gerate when | say that Spanish eloquence

repeat universally admitted judgment
in placing Senior Figueras in the immor-

Some shine by their energy, others by
force of logic, and others by their flood
of language-none so much as he for
sense of opportunity, for ingenuity, for
shill, for the most excellent endowments
of parliamentary orators. For myself,
| say that one Of the greatest satisfac-
tons of my life has been to fight by his
side, and one of the most pleasing rec
ords of my memory his combats and his

cause, worthy of the Republic which
will count him among its founders and
its heroes

SNOW AGAIN.-A snow storm of I'M
exampled severity, for this or any season
of the year, occurred here yesterday.
The snow commenced falling about nine
o'clock in the forenoon and continued
through the day and evening and is still
falling at the hour of present writing,
II p. m. A part of the time, high
wind prevailed, which, with the snow,
blocked up the sidewalks and streets,
blockaded the railroad, made pedestrian
ism well nigh impossible and seriously
interfered with all other modes of travel.
The snow is over a foot deep on level
we mean the new snow, of course
while the drifts are beyond estimate.
"Old Probabilities predicted partially
cloudy weather, but the cloudy" was
not discernible, except as the atmosphere
was clouded with snow, and that was
complete, not partial. The snow did not
commence to affect the arrival of trains
until afternoon, the mail train from Bos-
ton, due here at twenty minutes after
two in the afternoon, arriving at and de-
parting from Ludlow only some fifteen
minutes late. Between Healdville and
the Summit, however, il came upon a
freight train stalled in the SNOW, and
remained there for the train to be re-
moved, number Of locomotives being
at work, during the afternoon and even
ing, endeavoring to clear the track.
This, however, could only be accom-
plished by detaching the train and TAX
ing it by piecemeals, as it were, back to
the station. In endeavoring to do this,
one freight car went from the irons,
further complicating matters and caus-
Ing additional delay. The mail train is
yet (11 p. IN. awaiting the clearing of
the way. The storm seems TO have been
equally severe to the north. The mixed
train from that direction, due here at
7.15 p. M, came 10 standstill near
Brooksyile, and after being extricated
continued on its way into Mjddlebury in
two sections, apd has not yet arrived

CUBA.-The accomplishment Of a re-
publican form of government in Spain
has been publicly announced to the peo-
pie of Cuba. A portion of the press
appeals to the population Of all classes,
especially to the insurgents, to become
conciliated towards the parent State IN
der the new order of affairs. 1t appears
as if the island population is pleased
with the change, although rather I'M
demonstrative in its affirmation of the
fact. The sailors of the United States
steamer Worcester were landed at. Ha-
vana for the purpose of affording aid
for the extinguishment of fire. They
worked in the palace yard, their ready
and gallant action eliciting the admira-
ton of the spectators.

VERMONT CENTRAL.-At the hearing,
Wednesday, at St. Adams, On the petit
ton to remove the trustees and man
ayers of the Vermont Central and Yer
mont and Canada railroads, after read
ing the petition, the substance Of which
was given in Fridays HERALD, Governor
Smith stated that he was in readiness
for a hearing. He said the trustees ex-
pected to be able to demonstrate that
the charges were utterly false. The petit
ton had not taken him by surprise at all.
for Mr. Brooks had informed him. some
weeks ago, that unless he submitted 10
terms which in justice to others interest
ed in the trust he could not assent to, It
would be brought forward in Its most
obnoxious form. He said there had been
no time when any party could not have
access to the books and vouchers. and
the trustees row desire an early oppOr-
tunity to lay the whole matter before
the court and the public and to indicate
their characters from the malicious at
tacks so freely made against them. The
Chancellor having adjourned the Yer
mont & Canada hearing to Tuesday, the
18th day of March, for his own accom-
mediation and that of the counsel, he in
quired of Governor Smith if the same
time would be agreeable to him for this
hearing. The time being satisfactory to
all parties, the hearing was fixed for
that date. The Messenger remarks:
Thus the issue is madeup 1t is of the
grayest character and will be watched
with feyerish anxiety by security hold
ers and the public. We trust that when
the court opens on the 18th prox, twill
be in some public place, where the peo-
pie can be accommodated and where
they will feel free to 60.

About ten o'clock Sunday morning
'.big" snow plough, with three locomo-
tives, left Bellows Falls, forcing their
way through to Rutland in some three
hours, and encountering in their passage,
beside minor difficulties and small OBJ
structions, snow drift, between Lud-
low and Proctorsville, nearly mile in
length and from two TO three feet in
depth. At six o'clock last evening a
telegram informed us that train was
being made up and was leaving for this
place, to accommodate the nHmber OF
travellers that had gathered there.
Whether they will succeed in working
through is, at this hour, @ p. m. Sun
day) a matter of some doubt, as advices
from Ludlow and the Summit are to the
effect that it is piercing cold, the wind
blowing a perfect gale, and the snow
drifting fearfully, blocking up the roads
as fast and even faster than it can be
cleared.
The train mentioned above has just
arrived, 1.3Oa. m. Monday) with some
fifty passengers. 1t left Bellows Falls
at quarter past eight last evening, and
was only stalled once, and then at or
near the Summit. We trust the block
ade is broken.

relating to the fisheries and other mat
ters touching the relations Of the United
States toward the British North Amcri-

recommended the necessary legislation
in his message Of December, 1871. and
he repeated his recommendation in his
message Of December, 1872, adding that
he had received notice that the Imperial
Parliament and the Provincial Legisla-
ture had passed laws to carry the pro-
visions of the treaty into operation.

EMBRACERY.-A few days since, a
Geographic dispatch from San Francisco
told of the arrest of man upona charge
of embracery. In order to a better
understanding of the term ''embracery, "
which may become common, because of
the great modern necessity for mode
of expressing a similar idea, we print
the following from the San Francisco
Bulletin.
The conviction of Robert NJ. Lee is
the 6rst conviction for embracery re-
cord ed in the criminal annals of the Pa
Cific coast Embracery was crime at
common law, but the punishment had
feen prescribed by different statutes in
England. The oifeuse is punished in
most if not all the States of the Union,
but the term embracery,' the common
law expression, is used in the statutes of
few if any of the States except Cali
forna It is defined by Blackstone to
be San attempt to influence a jury cor
ruptly to one side by promises, persua-
sions. entreaties. money, entertainments,
and the like. The New York statute,
of which the California law is a copy,
enlarges this definition, making it cover
threats" as we'll as promises, persua-
sions, etc, and an attempt to influence
any member of a jury as well as the
jurors as a body. Lees conviction was
based on his "entreaties" and attempt to
persuade" Not only is this the first
conviction of the kind on this coast, but
the district attorney and other old mem
bera Of the Bar do not recall any similar
conviction in the United States, although
there have been repeated convictions for
direct bribery.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
DoIIAEs 4 YEAR IN ADVERTISING. The
New York ErDr6sS says: The cores
pondent Of provincial paper informs
his readers that there is patent medi-
cine now running in the market, the
proprietors of which propose to spend,
this year, $150,000 in advertising. The
figure appears large at the first blush,
but it is little known how large sums are
invested in giving publicity to wares,
and how, day by day, people who have
goods to sell are learning the value of
advertising as a medium of communion
ton between producer and purchaser.
Ten years ago one of the leading piano
forte manufacturers of this city was
iourneyman BY frugality and thrift he
gathered together a small capital and
then began business on his own account.
All his first profits were devoted to adj
vertising, and we find him now with
handsome Wareroom, an enormous and
complete factory, an annual advertising
bill of $55, 000 and business increasing
daily. An example equally noteworthy
was that of the druggist who erewhilc
was one of the largest advertisers in the
country, and whose profits, although
enormous, were outrun by his passion
for display. Advertising did not com
mence until early in the eighteenth c,.,,-
fury, but since then it has progress ,ed
with strides that would somewhat have
astonished our venerated ancestors, could
they have looked into futurity and seen
the columns of newspapers, the posters
on the dead walls, the barn doors and
the curb stones which glorify our nine
teenth century enterprise. The Instant
quoted by the correspondent above re-
ferred to, is but the one of many others
of a similar character. Advertis, re- Ml,a
go SO freely into the bushes. pi.cArd
the States from Maine to California with
their wares, and the inevitable result, is
fortune. Ben. Franklin's adsge about
the pounds taking care of themselves,
were proper care bestowed upon the pen
MES, is thing of the past. The whole
spirit of the age is adventurous, and he
who would win heavily must play high.
Advertising, though, has proven a sure
card, and he who plays it adroitly NAV
win many tricks.
