The recently discovered marble beds
on Lake Champlain promise to more than
equal in extent and richness the first re-

and as it can be easily split across the
bed or grain, blocks of any size can be
readily obtained. The State geologist
in his report, expresses doubt whether
marble of equal variety has ever been
discovered. The stone is of great hard
ness, and the owners of the quarry claim
that is not only more perfect but more
durable than other marble The differ

For the benefit of those interested in
the ''Chase estate" / write the follow
ing: About twenty-six years ago there
was an excitement concerning this es-
tate, and a meeting was held at New
buryport, Mass, at which about six hun
dred heirs we're present, and among them
was my brother, S. D. Chase, of Methu-
en-, Mass. 1t was then ascertained that
about two hundred years ago, three
brothers named Aquilla, Thomas and
Wllliam-sons Of Aquilla of England
came to America. Aquilla settled in
Newburyport, Mass, one in Nantucket
and the other at Martha's Vineyard.
This led the heirs to trace back their
parentage, which proves that am the
eighth generation from Aquilla. 80
I'm in for share" Since that time
there have been reports that there are
other Chases in America who are not
descendants from this family. How
that is. ! do not know A. B. Chase.

TwEED's EsCAPE.-We presume that
the actual result of the Tweed case was
generally anticipated. The trial was
wholly out of season, having taken place
eighteen months after the offence-or
rather the long series of offences-was
committed. And yet if the case had
been brought into court at first. not only
would the jury have been as bad as this
one was, but the judge would probably
have been crony of tweed's. Still the
delay operated to the advantage of JUS
tice though we doubt if the time has yet
come when there is much chance of get
ting New York jury to condemn Tweed.
Either the man or the vile system of
which he was an exponent is still to in
fuential not to get at least one of its ad-
herents into the jury-box whenever need
ed. Nevertheless the conviction that
Tweed is q thief and swiEdler on huge
scale cannot be effaced from the public
mind of New York, and it may yet be
wrought into the verdict of the courts

THE CHASE ESTATE.

For the benefit of many of our readers
interested in this estate. we copy the
following from the Louisville (ky) COM
mercial:
B. f. Chase, of this city, few DAYS
ago, received intelligence that the great
English chancery suit of Townley VS..
Chase heirs, involving an estate worth
Esq, 100000. or about S2oo,oo0,OOO,
which has been in the courts of London
for the last thirty years, has been decid-
ed in favor of the Chase heirs, who num-
Der about one hundred. Daniel Webster
was at one time counsel for the Ameri-
can Chase heirs, and Robert Peel and
Sir John Russell once endeavored to
make a compromise with the heirs
through Mr.. Russell. There is a popu-
lar impression that good many Eng
lish estates, valued at some hundreds of
millions, are Lying around loose"
awaiting claimants, but this is the first
occasion in which we remember the
claimants to have been successful. This
will doubtless encourage the Ahneka
Jams and other heirs to prosecute their
claims, but we doubt whether we shall
soon hear of another like it. We have
not yet heard whether Chief Justice
Chase is one of these heirs or not. We
are further informed that among the
nearest heirs in this country to this es-
tate are the Rutherfords, direct descend
ants of Aquilla Chase, the original pro-
prietor of this immense fortune And
that if an equitable distribution is made
under the decree, the portion falling to
General George Rutherford, whilom
newspaper man, we'll known as pion-
Ger in telegraph business, and as Chief
Inspector of the United States Quarter
masters Department during the war,
will be quite sufficient (only few mil
lions) to reproduce his celebrated book
''Short Surket," or to start a country
newspaper. The prosecution of this
claim was abandoned by the heirs in
America as wild goose chase" but il
seems some persistent heirs have KEEP
on the trial, and are likely to bag the
game.

posed assemblage is to lay before congress
the facts of the infamous usurpation per-
petrated last year. and which are already
known to the whole country. The oon-
Vention will ask that the report of the
senate committee, composed of ''loyap
Republicans, which declared Kellogg's

Further results Of the panic are the
discharge Of workmen in the jewelry es-
Establishments of Attleboro, Mass, and the

There has been partial suspension
of the shoe factories in Dover, N. h,

Five thousand persons are thrown

will be opened in two weeks.
There are in Manayunk, suburb of

5000 and 5000 hands, when running. OF
these establishments all but three have
suspender operations, or are at present
negotiating with their former employees
for resumption of work at a fair compen-
sation. The general complaint Is that a
market can not be found for the goods af-
ter they are manufactured, and the pro-
ducers are afraid to risk the working up of
tide raw material for a prospective trade,
The manufacturers also forsee q decline IN
the price of cotton, and to make up goods
at the present high rate and attempt TO
compete with the mills which viii manu-
facture at the expected low prices, would
prove ruinous.

Yet, not for him the bust we raise;

Upon ''ths dull, cold ear of Death"
Yet not in vain the spoken word,
Nor vain the monument we raise;
With quicker throbs our hearts are stirred
To catch the noblene we praisei
Columbia's sens-we share his fame;
'Tis for ourselves the bust we rear,
That they who mark the craven name
May know that name to US is dear;
Dear a. the home the exile sees
