THE DEMAGOGUE.

Benjamin F. Butler, is not the first
demagogue that the world has been
cursed with. Milton speaks of it as ga
goblin word" even in his time, and
Southey truthfully asserts that a plaus-
ible Insignificant word, in the mouth of
an expert demagogue, is dangerous and
dreadful weapon but neither of these
old writers had ever seen the demagogue
in the prominence he has nowadays at
tanned. All countries suffer from these
parasites of society and politics, but
none so severely as this free Republic,
where an attempt to carry public meas
ures, by inflaming the mob, to acts they
would never commit while reason
holds its sway, too often succeeds, and
it is through his plausible use of catch
words and duplicity, that the popular
institutions of the country, are in most
danger of being overthrown.
The demagogue, to be dangerous, must
belong to the party that controls the
votes of the people, for if he belonged
to the minority, his sophistry and inge-
nuity would not make dupes enough to
be politically dangerous. In this age, he
must sport some military title, no matter
whether obtained in the militia service of
his State in times of peace, or from some
nominal command in the army, where by
brutality, he may have subdued COM
muaity of women or unarmed men. His
military service, however, rarely exceeds
the regular routine duty of drawing his
pay, and he sports his military title to
win favors from those who delight in
the deeds of daring of a loyal soldery,
and he sounds his own praise through
out the land, and seeks, by insinuation
and ribaldry, to drive honest competition
from his field, and secure to himself the
favor of those who fail to detect the
difference between vulgarity and wit.
Of course the demagogue must be
coward and sycophant, and when chas
tised by those in power over him for his
brutality and falsehood, he curls up like
the whipped cur, and ticks the hand that
inflicts the punishment. We have these
characters in every state and nearly
every community, and they need watch
ing. They have no principles and no
conscience, but are ever foremost in ex-
toleing public virtue, and pointing out
the short comings of others in which
they had no profit, but as soon as they
have received pecuniary gain by
breach of trust, they are ready to put
their smiling countenance before the
dear people they have defrauded, and by
soft nonsense argue that theft is right.
and that the constitutional power to CON
vert to their own use the treasure in
their charge, gives moral and political
light for them to steal.

'E's,e state Fair.

Everything promises a grand gather
ing here next week, to attend the state
Fair. which takes place on the days OF
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and FIJI
day. The chief officers are, President,
Henry G. Root, of Bennington; secrec
tary, Henry Clark, of Rutland; Cher
Marshal, Col A. S. Cook, of Brandon.
The annual address will be delivered on
the grounds on Thursday afternoon at 2
o'clock by the Rev. Adirondack Murray.
We hope to greet our agricultural
friends from all parts of the State. The
central position of Rutland, her extern
sive fair grounds, and her ability to ac-
commodate large crowd combine
to render this town a fitting place for
the State Fair to be held. The officers
and committees of the society have done
everything in their power to render the
occasion q success.

Good Night.

Low burned the fire, the room was dim,
We heard the warning clock strike ten
And, by the moonlight growing grim,
Knew parting-time had come again.
81 had dream last night" l said,
"Hll tell it to you ere go;
l thought, my dear, your little head
Was lying on my shoulder-so!
'''Tis time to CO." said, ''and you
You kissed me twice upon the cheek;
Now tell me, love, if dreams come true"
Most archly did my darling speak
|WhY, some come true, and some do not,
Dreams like this do / quite believe;"
And then--she kissed me twice, and got
Her waist entangled in my sleeve.
Why is it that to say good night
Must take so long a time? know
When lips are sweet and eyes are bright
One often fingers, 10th to go.
But, somehow, ere 1 went away
That night, the clock had struck eleven
So long it takes, you see, to say
What seemed an easy task at seven.

My Life.

Little tho my life may be,
Yet it is mine own;
Everything hear or see
Is for me alone.
Music floating very near
Light of moon or star
just because l see and hear,
Are the things they are!
Every life, if viewed as such,
Is a miracle;
Something nobody can touch,
Yet touch can kill.
Something no one can define,
Yet, while time endures,
What l have is only mine,
Never can be yours.
Very weak and very small
You may deem the whole;
But it is the all in all
OF deathlesS soul.
Good Words.

NATURES APPEALS FOR HELP

NATURES APPEALS FOR HELP.
Every indication of de bllity and ex-
haustion is a mute appeal of Nature Tor
medicinal aid to arrest the progress of de-
cav. How are these silent appeals OF physl-
cal weakness to the resources OF the neal
ing art usually met? Too often, unfortu-
nately, the drugs prescribed aggraYate Ihe
SYMPTOMS. Whoever recommends dlas-
tic Durgatives, or mineral sallVants, OF
poisonous alkaloids, under such clrcum-
stances, is an ally of the ailment and an
enemy of the patient. Whoever, on Ihe
contrary, advises the broken down anu
responding sufferer to resort to that peer
less vegetable invigorant, Hostetters
stomach Bitters, for aid and comfort, is
true philanthropist. 1t Is safe TO say IhaJ
there never was an instance in Whlch such
advice was given and accepted without
the happiest results. From the very
dentbs of weakness and dependency
thousands have been restored to Vlgor'
health and cheerfulness by the renovating
operation of this wholesome stimulant
and Alternative. All its medicinal ingredi-
ents are remarkable for their sanative
nroperties. and in combination form an
absolute specific for Indigestion, liver
COMPLAINT. nervous affections, rheuma-
tism. intermittent and remittent fevers,
general and local weakness, and every
species of disorder incident to change OF
season or climate. The stimulatlve ele-
ment of this invaluable protective and re-
storative is not an impure eXcitant, but
the thoroughly rectiied essence of sound
rye, admitted by all good chemists to be
the most healthfuI of exhilarants.
To the weak, the worn and the weary,
the editor of the Boston Recorder says,
we can most unhesitatingly recommend
the Peruvian Syrup, a protected solution
of the protoxide of iron, to all the weak,
the worn and the weary, having richly eX-
perienced its benefits. 1t possesses all the
qualities claimed for il by its proprietor"

liant tonic for patients recovering from 1e-

BUTTER.

AT St. Adams, on Tuesday, the mar
ket was quite active, and prices firm.
We quote Common to fair IS to Csc;
medium to good, 90 to CSC; choice, SOC =:
selected, SIC
At Utica there is no change in quota
tions, though under the pressure of ac-
cumulating stock in New York, prices
rather tend downward for the present.
Fancy sells at 80 to 35c., and select lots
of fine State bring 33c. Fine firkins are
quoted at 30 to 33c., and Welsh tubs at
81 to soc.
Generally the market for State butter
has been quiet, with an excess of stock
beyond requirements. Fancy retail
grades, it is true, have continued quite
salable, but tubs and firkins in large lots
have moved slowly. Buyers seem to
look, more and more, for strictly fine
grades of State butter and to supply
their wants of other grades with West
ern. Heretofore Western receipts have
fallen off materially in quality at this
time of year, and the field has been left
open for the medium and lower grades
VI CbbtC. l. LIS veal bUCIG Is u Cldn0o IN
this respect. While much of the West
ern arriving is of the inferior grades
of former years there is con-
siderable quantity arriving of very
good quality, almost equal to the best
State. This butter is put up by shippers
who appear to exercise great care in the
handling of butter received from farm
ers, in many instances taking it unsalted
and sailing it themselves with Ashton
salt. They use State style tubs or firk-
ms, and manage to have them arrive per-
fectly clean, with all the contents inside.
These shippers have doubtless found this
care and attention profitable, and we
may therefore expect to receive this
grade throughout the season. If it con-
tinues as good in the future as in the
past few months, it will interfere with
the sale OF the second quality of State.
We do not perceive that State butter has
changed in price. The stock here and
arriving has cost high, and owners can
not reduce present quotations without
loss; il is therefore held firmly, and the
sales are at unchanged rates. A very
large make of butter is looked for this

Late Markets.
CIIEE-E.


At Utica, on Monday. there was a lit
tie more activity in the market, though
prices remained about the same as last
week. The offerings aggregated from
10000 to $4,000 boxes, and the sales
footed over 1000, with some sent on
commission. The range of prices was
from 114@123c. Several fine factories
got the highest figure, and some refused.
The general impression among factory
men seems to be that, comparing the
market with previous years, prices
ought to be i@1c higher than they are.
But buyers point 20 the accommodating
stock in the country and the prospect of
a heavy fall made. There is undoubted-
" yearly increasing production, but it
is equally true that there is a yearly in
creasing consumption, both at home and
abroad, and the question to be decided
is as to whether the one fully affects the
other. The Producers Price Current
of the 30th ult., says.
Yesterday, under an improvement in
the cable, the demand rather outran the
supply and there was momentary firm
ness, but to-day trade is unusually quiet
for a Friday, and 13c is the best rates
shippers will pay freely for fine grades.
Extra fancy stock, however, in one or
two cases, brought a shade more money.
Western factory is not arriving in any
quantity and there is no considerable
stock Of it here. The quantity of cheese
in the interior of this State is believed
to be very large, and it seems to be the
general opinion that we should be send
ing ont far more stock, even if it re
quired a lower price to do it.
The receipts at New York for the
week ending Saturday last, were 81, All
boxes, and the exports were 45, 467 bxs.
The cable was Cos. Gold closed at 1853,
and the highest quotation for cheese was
1910. For the corresponding period last
year the receipts were 113, 1O2 boxes,
and the exports were rs, 119 boxes. The
cable was 62s. Gold closed at 1929, and

the brasswork will be fitted Though the joiner
work is somewhat behind, 1t Is progressing salts

houses intended to be placed on deck In position,
there is as much room still left forward and aft as
In some Of our c0asting steamers. Nothing but
hardwood will be used In the construction OF these

grand. Below deck the fittings will be of the richest

A Lesson OF Caution to Expressmel

A Lesson OF Caution to Exprcssmcn.
Before Judge J. +. Daily.
In August last Mrs. Rebecca Brown arrived nom
Manchester England having among her luggage
trunk containing some garments Of lace, silk
dresses and other wearing apparel. On an ex-
animation Of the contents Of the trunk by the
Custom House officials they were found In good
order, but subsequently, on the trunk being
brought to Kingsbridgevilie, where she was
stopping with a brother, they were found, as al
legged, to be considerably damaged Marcus b.
Smith, an expressman, brought the trunk there.
He was charged with being responsible for the
damage, and suit was brought against him for
$3.50 damages, and the same was tried yesterday
In this Court Mr. John p. O'Neill made an eO-
quent and forcibe defence, claiming that the dam
age occurred on shlpb0ard. The jury failed to see
the matter In this light, however, and, after pom
dering over the matter some three hours, gave o
verdict for $780, favor OF the plaintiff.
Verdict Against the City.
Charles Guider obtained from Commissioner Van
Mort the contract for furnishing stone trap blocks
for repaving various streets OF the city. AS he
could not get his pay from the city for the amount
OF his bill he brought suit to compel its payment.
The case was tried here yesterday, Mr.. Abraham
r. Lawrence appearing for Mr. Guidet, and Mr..
Dean, Assistant Corporation Counsel for the city.
Mr.. Lawrence made very clear case of It, and the
opposition the stereOtyped one Of no appropria
ton. 1t was shown, however, that there was an
appropriation, and the Court directed verdict
for 81, 1856 10, being the full amount claimed.
