The Revenue Frauds.

In reference to seizure of ready-made
clothing, made in Springfield, Mass, al
legged to have been smuggled from Canada,
the following facts have been ELECTED;
A Springfield merchant, while at Montreal,
purchased of tailor there a suit of clothes
which attracted the admiration of his
friends, who ordered similar suits. Before
they were sent, certain detective, sus-
pecting that the revenue was being de-
frauded, went to Montreal and ordered a
suit also In due time the clothes were
sent to Springfield, and the detective was
on hand at the opening of the bundle,
which contained something beside the
clothing, which was several rolls OF silk
for ladies' dresses. The duty on silk is on
per cent. ad pdI0rem, and clothing the
same. The goods were seized, while the
merchant claims he made no attempt tto
defraud, leaving the matter at the time In
the tailors hands to arrange. All the peo-
pie implicated are of good reputation; the
sum involved is about $1,000,

The complaint of the public that the
trains over the Addison railroad have been
reduced to one, and that one mixed train,
seems just. Ticonderoga, Port Henry,
Crown Point, Orwell and Shoreham, all
thriving towns, are entitled to better ac-
commodation, and it would pay the mana
gers to afford ample facilities for business.
We are glad to learn, however, that this
reduction of trains is not made in accor-
dance with the views of the managers of
the Central Vermont. They desired to
keep the full number of trains on the road
that have heretofore run, but the new
managers on the West side of the lake re-
fused to run more than one train to con-
meet with the Rutland road, and that a
mixed train, asserting as a reason that sit
won't pay" While we concede that the
Delaware & Hudson" directors are econom-
ical managers, yet there are times when
men may be 'penny wise and pound fool
ish." These managers may have another
object in view to compel travel to go by
boat to Whitehall, Troy or Burlington, in
stead of by rail to Rutland. Railroads
were chartered in part for the benefit of
the people not for their erclusiOe interest

CATHOLIC FEsTIvALs.-The festivals of
the Catholic churches held on the fourth
of July seem to have been unusually sue
cessful.
The proceeds of the festival held at
Dorset amounted to the largest sum
5000.
At Montpelier festival was held at the
village hall, at which there was so large a
number that the walters could hardly find
their way among the guests, and the hand
some net sum was realized of $402.4 .42.
AT Northfield the proceeds amounted to
$313.
At Waterbury the amount netted was
1908.
These four congregations have thus Sc
cured sum exceeding sixteen hundred dol
lars result at which little pride on
their part would be eXcusable.

RACING NEws.-A good attendance was
had at Barton on the 4th, on the occasion
of the races. About 1900 tickets were
sold Two of the four purses were taken
by the Dormans of Newport. The large
purse was won by Snowflake" in sharp
contest with "Gen. Grant" of Richmond.
o. S. Dorinan's horse MARTIN Hayes
which won the county purse of 800, had
never trotted before but was much praised
and admired by those present.
The trotting at the celebration at Morris
vile on the 4th, is said to have been excel
lent. The purse of 800 was won by
Gambler" horse entered by Upton
Brothers and Jerry Drew. The 5000
purse was taken by ''Flora, entered by p.
McAnny of st. Albans, while the largest
purse of $3.50 was secured by Jerry

Gen. Butler is disgruntled. He wants to
be Massachusetts next Governor, and made
bid for the support of the prohbitionists
on the Fourth of July, but lost his vantage
ground by refusing to sign the pledge
Then the salary business is in the way, and
now, according to the New York Evening
Post g he is not altogether satisfied with
the position taken by the administration of
non-interference, and thinks there ought
to be an outspoken declaration by the
President in his favor, which would turn
the scale and make his success certain.
Again, he does not receive the support from
the Federal ofiice-holders in Massachusetts,
that he expected, and wants the support
of the administration in order to influence
them; but this he is not likely to get, for
various reasons, the main one being that
few members of the cabinet have any faith
in his political integrity"

acid becomes carbon the oxygen is given
back to the air. Thus vegetable life purifes
the air on which we are so dependent
Even if we had some othersource of food
and no plants to purify the air, we could
not live.
Though there is reciprocal relation in
this respect, yet plants are not dependent
upon animals, for decaying vegetable mat
ter would produce carbonic acid and plants
would continue to grow without any animal
life. Such was the case in the early ages
of the world.
In the next we will speak Of plants in

We publish in another column a circular
from the trustees of the Art Gallery to be
added to the University of Vermont through
the liberality of T. W. Park, which should
be read by all and in which every lover of
art should take personal interest All,
likewise, who are interested in the advance
ment of this enterprise for the good of the
University and high standing of the State
in such matters should announce themselves
ready to help on the work by contribution
as the trustees suggest and which a large
number of our citizens can easily do. Mr.
Park has inaugurated a wise movement and
it should be carried out in the best manner
possible by the friends of education and art
culture throughout the State, thus showing
to the world we are not behind our sisters
in the refining and elevating influence which
such a movement establishes.

The aeronaut La Mountain, who lost his
life while making balloon ascension at
Ionia, Mich, recently visited New York
for the purpose of inducing monied men to
raise funds to enable him to attempt an
aerial trip across the Atlantic. He was
unable to excite much interest in his pro-
iect, and left for the West disheartened.
He also negotiated with the publishers of a
daily newspaper in that city, who had re-
Gently secured the services of Prof. Wise

time near the city of Troy, in New York
His wife, who now lives at Troy, often
attempted to dssuade him from his hazar-
dOus profession, but in vain.
Upon one occasion La Mountain was ad-
vertised to make an ascent from Troy, and
Mrs. La Mountain, after Intellectual endeav-
ors to prevent him, resolved to accompany
him herself, and share the danger to which
he would be exposed. She made the trip
with him and the affair was a most sue
cessful one The balloon landed in the Adj

adventurers of his class, was bold and fear
less, but lacked the business tact and
shrewdness to make his experiments sue.

was very poor, and himself and family

1t seems little strange, after the con-
tests we have had, in the recent past,
about the equality of all men before the
law, that deliberate attempt should be
made, in New York city, to create a dis
tinction between condemned murderers, on
account of former 'social position" Sher-
iff Brennan, whatever sins he may have
committed in the past, failed to see how a
murderer in broadcloth was any better
than one in rags Frank Walworth, not
withstanding the interposition of "inhuen-
tial friends" was treated the same as any
other criminal; he was presumed innocent
until proved guilty, and when proved gull
~ was subjected to the pains and penalties,
provided by law for guilty men. His ed
ucation, associations and habits make his
crime more reprehensible thanif committed
by an Ignorant boor and instead of being
shielded from publicity, on account of his
associations, should have been, as he was,
held up as conspicuous warning to others

An international patent right congress-
convenes at Vienna in August; its object
being to obtain the recognition of the
rights of an inventor, secured by patent in
one country, in all parts of the world.
This is but right and justice, but wherein
does it differ from the claim for an inter
national copy right Tho argument for
the one applies to the other, yet publishers
of the United States and of Europe, with
honorable exceptions, have pirated upon
one another, and robbed authors, for years
without punishment on the one side or re-
dress on the other. If authors and inven-
tors are entitled to an exclusive property
in the works of their brains or hands at
home, they certainly arc abroad. Legaliz-
ed piracy and robbery stand upon the same
footing, morally, as unauthorized acts of
the same kind. Oh that justice would pre-
vail among nations and men.

DEATH OF A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF
EDUCATION learn with regret of the
death of Prof. F. c. Hathaway. the Prin-
cipal of the Morrisyille Graded School and
a member of the State Board of Educa-
ton, which occurred on Sunday afternoon
last at his home in Hardwick. His health
had been failing for several months, owing
to tumor in the side, which, together
with feeble constitution caused his death
Mr.. Hathaway was one of the best teachers
in our State and gave promise of great use
fulness in this capacity. His loss is deeply
felt by many friends.

More want of judgment, or hasty legisla-
ton, is found in the delay of business in
the Postoflice department, for the want of
a suitable number of clerks. There is no
appropriation, we are informed, 'for ad-
ditional SERVICE" it being necessary, we
take it, to use the requisite funds to meet
claims for "back pay" While we demand
a true economy in the management of pub
lie affairs, it is not of the niggardly or
sham kind that compels the public either
to suffer for necessary accommodations, or
if obtained, to be paid for, in the end, un-
der an appropriation for deficiencies.

IYoENDIARIEs. There seems to be a con-
cert of action to give Portland, Maine, a
second baptism of fire. A great number
of fires have recently been set in that city
which owe their origin to deliberate incen-
dlarsm, fire traps have been discovered
which are now in possession of the mar
shal. These traps are prepared by taking
a paper saturated with saltpetre and wrap

stone in close juxtaposition. The contriv-
ance Is then thrown through the windows
of a building, so that, when II strikes, the
matches are ignited and a cohagration is

The course and ways of the cholera the
more they are investigated, indicate that
men are more responsible for its visitation
than Providence. The Springfield Un-
ion suggests, that, since the modera-
ton of the scourge in Memphis, the full
details indicate that it was the shocking
hygenic condition of the city which invit-
ed the disease, and which kept it there so
long. Memphis has never had board of
health or a body of corresponding power
until since the appearance of the cholera,
and at present it is without money, and
consequently without efficiency. During
the prevalence of the cholera the disposal
of the bodies was left to irresponsible par
ties, who selected ''potter's field" which
drained into the city aqueduct, and made
the graves so shallow that the rain soon
washed the sand away and the stencil per-
vaded large part of the city. The injury
which the epidemic has inflicted upon
Memphis is not measured by the number
of deaths. For seven weeks the business
of an active commercial town of 10000
inhabitants has been at stand still, anc
the loss is to be estimated at millions

which we learn from the Manchester

A stranger from Troy arrived on the same

and asked if he would go to the cemetery.
Taken back by the suddenness and novelty
'of the question, the man replied that he
