Marble Production.

E'dit0r Rutland Herald. The HER
AID of.March Goth, contains a commu-
nication evidently written by a citizen
of Rutland, enthusiastically anxious to
have Rutland a large city, which, while
it makes some mistakes and does injus-
tice to the marble producers of Rut-
land county, yet calls up some impor-
tant questions of more than casual in
terest.
Cheap transportation for marble and
slate, whether by canal or railroad, is
the great desideratumz Rutland coun-
ty, without which it is of no avail to
open more quarries, for, an increase of
production at home without correspond
ing increase of sales abroad, is damage,
by increasing competition and crowding
down the price to an unremunerative
point.
There is already too much marble pro-
duced for the interest of producers.
The demand does not justify the supply,
and the per cent of profit made by the
producers is less than that of many 9th
er kinds of business. Three-fourths of
the marble used in the United States is
italian marble, which can and does
crowd out the Rutland marble in ma
jority OF the marble shops of the coun-
try, because it can be landed in New
York and transported thence to every
part of the country as cheap or cheaper
than the same qualities of American
marble. Italian marble is used, either
mostly or exclusively, by the largest
and best establishments in the country.
Even some of our Vermonters, within
ten miles of Rutland, have Italian and
Granite monuments on their graves.
You cannot artitcially increase the
supply of Rutland marble without loss
to the present producers, unless, at the
same time, the demand be cit her arti-
ficially or naturally increased.
Men who buy American marble find,
in most cases, that the freights are
much higher from Rutland than from
New York or Philadelphia. Rates on
marble by rail FROM Philadelphia to
points on the Mississippi river in Iowa,
are cheaper than from Rutland to the
same points If this is iasurmountable
then this natural disadvantage must
work permanently against the interests
of Rutland county.
Overcome this disadvantage and in
crease the demand for colored American
marble, then it will pay to open more
quarries, and they will be opened, but
until this is done, it is wrong to advise
people to invest where they must of ne
cessity lose. Several attempts have
been made in the town of Rutland to
find new quarries, and the abandoned
openings and mills at West Rutland
ought to admonish the inexperienced
that no stream can rise higher than its
fountain. READER.

The Extra Session.

The session of the Senate, being the
first of the forty-third Congress, adj
iourned sine die at four o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon AS this session was
called, in accordance with custom,
mainly for executive business, but lit
tie has been accomplished. Indeed, it
would have been impossible to do any
business in the way of general leglsla-
ton, the concurrence of both Houses
being necessary for that purpose. The
appointments of the President have been
generally confirmed, including those of
a new Cabinet, which, as our readers
understand, is the old Cabinet with the
exception, of course, of the Secretary of
the Treasury. The Caldwell case has
been disposed of by his resignation; that
of Senator Clayton, of Arkansas, by a
vote that the charges were not sustained !;
and that of Senator, Bogy, of Missouri,
by vote that the memorial of certain
members of the Missouri Legislature
does not present facts sufficient to war
rant an investigation. We believe that
the "criminal docket, as Senator aptly
termed it, has been cleared, 50 that, at
the opening of Congress in December,
the Senate will be prepared to enter
upon the ''civil docket" A resolution
of thanks, introduced by Senator Stock
ton, Democrat, of New Jersey, to Vice
President Wilson was unanimously
adopted

stephen w. Dorsey, senator From
Arkansas.

Hon. Stephen w. Dorsey, of Arkansas,
is the youngest member of the Senate,
and the youngest ever admitted to that
honorable body. He was born in Ben
son, Rutland county, Vt, Feb. %, 184o.
received an academic education, and left
his native State at an early age, and To-
Gated in Oberlin, Ohio, from which
place he enlisted as a private in battery
of light artillery. After a short rendeZ-
vous in Camp DeHnison he was sent to
the Southern battle fields He fought his
first battle at Shiloh under General
Grant, where, as first lieutenant, he COM
manded two pieces of artillery. His
second battle was fought at Perryville,
under General Buell.. At Stone River
and Chickamauga he fought under
General ROsecranZ, and was ispector of
artillery ON the staff of General Thomas.
At the battle of Mission Ridge he COM
manded battery, and after the battle
was promoted to captaincy.
In 1864 he was transferred to the
Army of the Potomac, and assigned to
the command of the 1st Ohio battery,
9th Army corps, and in that ever
memorable campaign under General
Grant, was engaged in the battles of the
Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor,
and Petersburg. He was in command
of the historic "Fort He'll in front of
Petersburg during the siege, and partici-
pated actively in nearly all the engage
ments which closed the terrible drama,
and which compelled the surrender at
Appomattox Court House.
After the surrender he returned with
his command to Toledo, Ohio, when he
was appointed colonel of the Ohio ar
tillery.
The war over, Colonel Dorsey resigned
this position and gave his attention to
business pursuits, and in Sandusky,
Ohio, organized the now well-known
Sandusky Tool Company, of which he
was elected manager. This company
under his efficient management became,
and is now, one of the largest and most
successful of its kind in the country.
From the close of the war until 1870
Colonel Dorsey took a leading and
prominent part in the politics of Ohio,
| identifying himself with the Radical Re-
pubIicans of the time, and was frequent
| ly rendered positions of honor and profit
which he invariably peremptorily de,
| clined.
He was chairman of the Congressional
and county central committees for sev.
eral years, and in that capacity rendered
most important and valuable service.
Early in January, 1870, (on the same
day that he was reelected manager Of
the Sandusky Tool Company he. was
! without his solicitation or knowledge
elected president of the Arkansas Cen
trail railway company, which he accepted
and at once proceeded to his new field O

and internal improvement, as well a

FARMERS MILK CoMPANY.--The Farm
ers' Milk Company, chartered in June,
1872, have commenced business at No.
33, Third Avenue, New York City. P.
G. Cummings, so well and favorably
known to the milk producers of Western
Vermont, is the superintendent, and will
receive in his new capacity, as hereto
fore, the milk consigned from on the
line of the Harlem Extension Railroad.
The company have issued a Circular, in
which they say, g We positively assure
all customers, heads of families, parents,
and all guardians of the young, who
leave their orders at our office, that they
will be supplied with pure milk; no
better milk ever was, or ever can be pro-
duced and served in this city. The COWS
are of the best breeds, and their feed OF
the best quality of grain and grass. We
invite inspection as to the cleanliness
and purity of our milk.

and prediction: "There is very little
doubt now of the election of the repub-
lican State ticket with a majority of the
legislature, and two, possibly three, of
the four congressman. In the second
(New Haven) district, Ex-Governor Eng
lish has been nominated against Kellogg,
the present member. 1t is usually
democratic district, though Kellogg has
carried it twice on account of divisions
among his opponents. The democrats
hope to elect English, but Kellogg is
man of much luck. Hawley will be
elected in the first district by an over
whelming majority, and Starkweather

increased expenditure that the British
government is resolved at all hazards to
maintain its ancient supremacy at sea.
In the altered aud rapidly altering state
of Europe all her efforts and all her vig-
lance will be needed Foreign ma
vies are increasing in bulk and
power at the same time that the de-
mand becomes louder at home for di-
minished expenditure. In spite of her
great wealth England will have hard
work by and by to maintain her proud
position.

A HANGING GARDEN. A hanging
garden of sponge is one of the latest
novelties in gardening. Take white
sponge of large size, and sow it full of
rice, oats or wheat. Then place it for
a week or ten days in shallow dish,
and as the sponge will absorb the mois-
ture, the seed will begin to sprout be-
fore many days. When this has fairly
taken place, the sponge may be suspend
ed by means of cords from a hook in the
top of the window, where little sun
will enter. 1t will thus become living
mass of green, requiring a little occa-
sional moisture.

SENTENCED. George Brown, who was
arrested some time ago for indecent con-
duct, was arraigned in the County Court,
Thursday, on an information filed by the
States Attorney, and pleaded guilty. He
alleged, however, in extenuation of his
offense, that he was intoxicated at the
time of its committal. Judge Wheeler
sentenced him to imprisonment in the
county Jail for one year, remarking, at
the time of passing sentence, that intox-
ication was no excuse or palliation of a
crime.

The Coming Festival.

The rehearsal, on Wednesday, for the
Rutland Musical Festival was well at
tended. Our citizens begin to realize
their duty in the matter, judging, and
rightly, that the success of the undertake
ing rests principally on their shoulders.
The Rutland chorus now numbers in the
vicinity of seventy-five members, with
the prospect of considerable addition
to the number With fair proportion
from outside, which it is more than like
ly there will be, the full chorus will
number between four and five hundred
voices. The committee have Just is
sued the music, which is printed plainly,
on clear white paper, and very neatly
bound, in book of forty pages, which,
with some of the choicest selections
from the Jubilee music book of 1872,
will comprise the excellent collection to
be performed during the festival. Sing
ers in all parts of the State will, no
doubt, be interested in this enterprise, as
it will be the largest musical gathering
ever held in the State. 1t will be much
superior to an ordinary convention, in
the opportunity it will give for musical
practice, as it will be under the direction
of the greatest musical conductor in the
country, Carl Zeriahn, who, it is univer-
sally acknowledged, stands without
peer in his particular profession. There
will be a rehearsal, conducted by Mr..
Zerrahap, each day during the festival,
in addition to the regular concerts, and
any one who can rehearse four days un-
der Mr.. Zerrahn and not receive lasting
benefit, and perceptibly improve in mu-
sic, can readily come to the conclusion
that music is not his forte. There will
also be the opportunity of hearing artists
of such exceptional talent as it is impos-
sible to see or hear outside of the large
assuredly such as have never Wis
tied Vermont. Singers in all parts of
the State would do well to consider these
and the other advantages before it is too
late to organize for the greatest musical
convention ever held in Vermont.
