The French Assembly recently adopted an article
for the restraint of intemperance which might prove
more efiectual than Local Option laws, if tried in
this country. 1t provides
ART. s." Every person who has twice been con-
demned by the correctional police for the offence Of
manifest drunkenness, conformably with the preced.
ing article, will be declared by the second judgment
incapable Of exercising the following rights l.-Oi
vote and election. of eligibility. 3.-Of being
chosen or appointed to discharge the Office of a juror
or other public function, or to the service Of the adj
ministration or any official duty. 4-Of bearing arms.
This is for two years from the date at which the SEN
tence becomes irrevocable."
The new order of things has not yet been sufi-
GENTLY long in operation to permit Of judgment on
its efficacy. 1t will be perceived that in France the
abuse, not the use, of liquor is made the subject OF
penalty. Our home prohibitionists maintain that the
use and abuse are inseparable. The experiment in
France will, atleast, serve the purpose Of determining
this much debated issue-.4m. paper.
The n. Y. Herald some time since sent a CORE
spondent named O'Kelly to Cnba, for the purpose of
writing up the condition of that unhappy island. Mr..
O'kelly, on reaching his destination, applied TO the
Spanish General in command for permission TO pass
the Spanish lines on his mission TO investigate the
condition of the instruction. In reply he was in
formed that he could 90 where he pleased; but if
found among the insurgents he would be shot as q
spy. Commenting on this toe Herald boils over in
the following language "The American press is
stronger than the American Government; it is the
people, who hold the Government in their hands.
Shoot Mr.. O'Kelly as a spy, and q subservient State
Department would be hut q reed in the way of the
storm Of indignation that would sweep over the
United States and declare war against the assassin
power"

And when there was light enough for
Mr.. Clifton to look into his daughters
eyes, he saw bright light shining there.
Another moment when Flory came to greet
him, he said with smile 6. d'si
"Ah see why you young folks know
nothing of the surrounding darkness
guided by the light within. Well, have
you had pleasant day ~
GA happy day, father there are no re-
grets to steal in and mar it." Mabel said,
with bright SMILE"
"I am glad of it-glad Of your resolve
Mabel"
How glad you will know, when | tell
you that this morning closed the eyes
of father whose only son was away in
some drinking saloon. How my heart ach-
ed for that father And what balm it
was to think at that time my daughter was
not holding the fatal glass to any young
man," said, Mr.. Clifton, his voice trem-
bling.
Before another New Years day Mabel
and Flory each presided over an establish
ment of their own.
The happy remembrance of their recep-
ton is never clouded by the thought that
they have added one drop to the cup of
bitterness which so many wives, brothers,
mothers and sisters have to drink--the cup
of sorrow which is SO often prepared for
them by sister women.

"It becomes our painful duty to record

A Telling Hit.

The recent death of John G. Tucker
calls to mind speech which he made IN
the House Of Representatives some years
ago-a speech that was full Of tingling wit,
and delivered in the happiest manner.
General Banks had been elected Cover
nor by a combination between the Free
Soilers and Know -Nothings, and it was
naturally supposed that in his inaugural
address there would be some reference to
the issues Of the campaign. But the adroit
Governor omitted all mention of the anti
slavery questions as we'll as of the Native
American policy. A member arose and
moved to print 10, 600 copies of the address,
when instantly Mr.. Tucker got the floor
and spoke as follows:
81 rise, Mister SPEAKER, to second the
motion Of the honorable gintleman to print
thousand of his excellency's speech. You
may wonder, Mister SPEAKER, why /, who
am nayther personal or political friend of
his excellency, should do this. 1t is well
known that his exeellency has risen to pow
er by a coaletion between the Anti-Slavery
and Native American parties, or as they
are sometimes called, Free-Soilers, and
Know-N Nothings. And this puts me in
mind of little story.
"There wasa bishop in Dublin who
engaged painter to make large picture
for the cathedral. The subject chosen was
the crossing of the Red Sea by the Israel
ties. After a suitable time the picture
was completed and hung in the cathedral,
covered with broad and heavy curtain.
"a great crowd Of people assembled to
see the picture unveiled. The priests en-
tered in procession, the organ sounded,
and the singers sung. All faces were turn
ed in anxious expectations to the great
curtain. When 1t was drawn aside nothing
could be seen but a vast expanse of water
"The bishop, in great rage, turned to
the painter and said:
"I thought asked you to paint pic
ture of the Israeltes crossing the Red
Seapn
True for you; that's just it," said the
painter. .,i.. .,.,l ,e. ~, ia
"But where are the Israelites9'' asked
the bishop. IN
"They are gone over" said the paint
er.
"Well, but where are the pursuing
Egyptians ?"
"They are gone under," SAID the paint

Mabel's Request.

MABEL CLIFTON sat before one of
lvI the windows of her fathers magni-
ficent mansion. A servant stood in wait
ing.
She was making out list of articles
wanted for the next day. Coming foot
steps arrested her attention. She raised
her eyes from the paper and looked out
The crimson flush deepened on her bright
young face, as "Oh" in q tone of deep
regret escaped her lips.
She turned around after an instant of
thought and said
'"John, am not just ready to finish
this list, and shall not send for an hour
yet. If you have anything to attend to
in the meantime you can do it,"
Mr.. Clifton had been reading in distant
part of the room.
Hearing the door close after Johns de-
parture he said:
"You have not forgotten to send for

He has not gone yet papa
"Ah, we'll, do not make it late. They
will be very busy tonight" her father
said, turning again to his paper.

"Well?"
"a boon, papa. Promise to grant me,
this last day of the year, my boon -
"What is it my love?"
Promise to grant it first"
"Not in ignorance, my child"

She had an eager, earnest noble look in
her eyes that her father did trust in, and
he promised her.
"Well, you shall have your way.
"Father, let us abstain from using wines
tomorrow

A High Priced Dog.

There is $11, 900 dog in Springfield.
The now uncomfortably famous Mr..
Stokes owned setter reputed to be the
best hunting dog in New York city. Mr..
Harkerth owner of the noted stables.
whose chief glories are now at Hampden
Park awaiting the fall meeting, wanted
the setter and tried to purchase him. But
Stokes had just refused 5000 for him, and
didn't want to sell the dog. Finally how
ever he told Harker that as perhaps his
hunting days were over although he would
not sell he would make him (Harker)
present of the dog The generous Hafker,
however, would not accept the friendly
offer without reciprocal one, and as he
had offered 81 900 engaged him to give
the profit within a specified time of one
thousand shares Of certain railroad stock.
A rapid turn in the market brought the
aforesaid stock TO an advance Of 81 share
and that he offered promptly to make over
to Stokes for the setter. The speculative
young man, however, said "Let it wait
awhile perhaps shall make more yet
Instead of more he made less the stock
fell as swiftly as IL had risen, and dropped
fiat on the market. 30 fora little while

was worth $11 900. '4 slsi li'f ~ Il,

Railroad RuniOrs.
CHICAGO, June

CHICAGO, June 1.
A number of prominent railroad men are
in this city, among them are Horace F.
Clark and Augustus Schell of New York,
John Duff of Boston, John A. Tracy, and
NJ. l.. Sykes
A good deal of interest has been created
by rumor that the New York Central had
obtained the control of a majority of the
stock of the Northwestern and of the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific roads, and
would at their annual election for directors
which occurs here on Wednesday next
make radical change in the management
by throwing out Mr.. Tracy and his friends.
While ii is probably true that Mr.. Clark
and his associates now hold majority of
the Northwestern stock and large interest
in Rock Island and Pacific the Illinois
statute which permits the election of only
three directors at any annual election would
prevent an immediate radical change in
the management of either road but it is
understood that the interest of the New
York Central will best subserved by retain
ing Mr.. Tracy in the presidency of the
roads mentioned, and whoever may be
elected to the directory on Wednesday will
not interfere with his management.

the testimony of 8. F.. Paige. Allen San
dcrson, Chas. A. Parkhurst, ii. A. Per-
kins, M. J. Perkins and others in reference
to the previous character of Mr.. ellison as
a law-abiding citizen.
This completed the evidence on the part
of the defendant and Mr.. j. M. Slade, at
torney in behalf of the state, in his review
of the evidence, admitted that there was
not sufficient testimony to convict Mr.. Gil
son, but he labored manfully and well in
trying to make his case success In the
face of facts which could not be overruled
or disproved
He was followed by Mr.. Sturtevant who
who in brief though clear and concise
manner reviewed the case.
The closing argument for the defendant
was made by Col. Charles II. Joyce of Rut-
land, in one of his eloquent and telling
pleas. He traced the matter from the
beginning, showing up the falseness of Mr..
Ostegee's testimony, and his many contra
dictions while upon the witness stand,
showing plainly by his review of the testi-
mony that Mr.. Gibson had no possible mo-
tive in destroying the property, not having
any valid insurance upon it and as he well
knew from statements made to him when
the policy was made and that Mr. Ostegee
burned the property for the purpose of re-
venge and then tried to implicate
Mr.. ellison the consequences of his
crime. The case went to the Court for
decision and after few moments consul
tation Mr.. ellison was discharged.

action was taken upon the election of super

whose term expires July list, has withdrawn
his name as a candidate for reelection, and
the committee are considering the applica-

We congratulate Mr.. Gorham on the happy
settlement of the controversy which has
been so unfortunately carried on. He is a
teacher of high order-one who has devoted
his life to the profession and who has sue
cecded in placing himself in the foremost
rank. lie was for several years the princi-
pal of the Montpelier High School, and it
was unfortunate for the cause of education
at the Capitol and in the State that he left
for another field of labor. We trust he
may meet in the future the support and
success which his eminent qualifications
and merits deserve.

entirely by order and an estimate of the
number made is difficult to be ascertained.
However, during the last month six have
been manufactured and delivered to differ
ent parties. The proprietor is at present
at work upon an order for heavy derricks
from Maine.
The foundry connected with this estab-
lishmcnt is one of the best in our town and
has facilities for casting ten tons in one
piece. Most of the casting done is for the
special manufacturing business although
some castings are done for parties in diff
fercnt localities.
The location of the works are especially
convenient being near the railroad track
where cars can be loaded and unloaded of
the heavy material employed in the con-
Germ with little labor and trouble.
Mr.. c. II. Forbes, gentleman well
known in this community, was interested
with Mr.. Ross in the management of the
works up to January last, when his health,
being not of the best, compelled him to re-
linquish his share in the business, and he is
now acting as the book-keeper of the con-
Germ. Mr.. Ross has labored assiduously
himself since first starting this enterprise
and merits success in the financial sense as
he has achieved it in the perfection of the
business in which he is engaged.
