with his reply, "The Emperor is dead.
V5De Ia France Z" 1t is to be remember
ed that the Prince rode back with Irihce
Napoleon, and it is not unreasonable 10
conclude that the Prince Imperial spoke
at The dictation of his uncle. Whatever
be the future of the House of Bonaparte,
whether it wiz once again rule the des-
TIMES of france, or whether it will sink
into oblivion, this saying of the young
Yretender will live 1t was in the cir
cumstances a wise utserance, and in the
future it is quite as likely to be remem-
bered as the Bridge of Lodi or the Star
of Austerlitz or the Baptism of Fire.
"Vioe TEmptre! I" would have been a
dangerous saying, "Vjce FFronce I"
was happy and to the point. 1t may yet
be remembered in the interest of the
Prince, but for the present it is an adj
mission on the part of the Bonapartes
themselves that the Empire as well as
the Emperor is dead.

THE PIrTsFoRD MUSICAL CONVENTION.
Ono of the richest and rarest musical
entertainments ever offered in western
Vermont, comprised wholly of its own
native talent, took place at the Congre-
gational meeting house in Pittsford, last
Wednesday evening. The spacious
church was filled to its utmost capacity
by highly intelligent and appreciative
audience, representing the towns OF Mid
dlebury, Brandon, Pittstord, Rutland,
Orwell, Bridport, Shrewsbury, Castle
ton, Wallingford and Ludlow. The
choruses, rendered by one hundred voices,
selected from the "WOrld's Peace Jubi-
lee Music" and from the standard, a
new work of L. O. Emerson, of Boston,
were simply grand. The duets by Mr..
Day and Miss Edison, of Rutland, Miss
Sheldon and Miss Tilden, of Middlebury,
and by Mrs. Cheney and Mrs. Hatha-
way, of Rutland, were excellent. The
songs of Miss Huntoon, of CuttingsVille,
Mrs. Bowker and Miss Thomas, of Or
we'll, and Miss Smith, of Ludlow, were
finely executed. The solos in the Choir
uses were finely rendered by Mrs Bond,
of Middlebury, and Miss Huntoon. The
instrumental duets by Mrs Chatterton,
on the piano, and Mr.. Cole, on the violin,
and violin solos by Mr.. Cole, of Rutland,
brought down the house with applause,
long and strong.
Immediately after intermission, B. w.
Burt, of Castleton, in behalf of the COM
mittee. introduced and read the follow
! ing preamble and resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted by the class.
WHEREAS, 1t is conceded, on the part
/ of communities generally, and by the
musical world in particular, that 1t is
/ both pleasant and profitable for the
friends of music and song to assemble
themselves together, from time to time,
for mutual improvement in the art under
/ the direction of competent and skllltul
/ leaders. Therefore,
Re80Iyed, That the thanks of the differ
+ ent musical associations in Rutland
and Addison counties, here represented
! in good numbers, are justly due Prof. h.
/ II. Higley, of Middlebury, for the able
manner in which he has presided over
! the musical exercises of this occasion.
Res07Ded, That our Acknowledgements
are also due Mrs. ChattertOn, of Rutland,
for valuable services rendered on the
piano forte, exhibiting features of rare
taste and skill so important to the sue
/ cessfuI progress of such gatherings fOI
advancement in music.
Resozoed, That to the hospitable peo-
/ pie of this historic town, we are indi-
vidually and collectively indebted for
this happy feast and flow of music, and
for the generous reception accorded us
/ on our arrival here from other localities,
and that the pleasing associations of this
reunion will ever be held in grateful re-
membrance by this entire corps Of one
hundred singers from abroad.
Finally, we beg leave, most respect
fully. to make a record that this part of
I Vermont has no rival in any other sec
ton of the State unsteady, at least such
is the humble opinion of one who was
there from CAsTLEToN.

the men out with him into the brush,
returned with slices of meat, which
were roasted over the fire and eagerly
deyoured. We all of us knew we were
sustaining life on the bodies of our dead
companions. but no man asked a ques-
tson. Sometimes we had it boiled and
sometimes roasted. 1t tasted something
like beef, but it makes me shudder now
to think of it. When we had eaten
almost all of the last body the schooner
Eagle, of Port Stanley, Falkland ISL
ands, out seal fishing, hove in sight.
One of our men crawled up to the head
of the rocks, and waved the American
flag with the union down, attracted their
attention. They picked us up and re-
ccived us all with as great kindness as if
we had been their own kindred. We
found that we had pulled about two
thirds of the way through the Straits of
Magellan, and were then within sixty
miles of Sandy Point. There, after the
third day, the Eagle landed us, and the
Chilean governor at once provided us
with everything in the way of food and
clothing we required. He would have
sent us by the steamer to Valparaiso,
but before she arrived the United States
slOop of war Ossipee put into port and
took us on board-Captain Robbins
myself, the steward and five seamen, all
that were left of a crew of twenty-one
From the time the Golden Hind went to
pieces we spent forty-eight days in the
open boats with only the subsistence l
have named.
The captain of the Ossipee shipped
the six seamen, although all of them
were on the sick list, and brought Capt.
Robbins and myself to Rio Janeiro.
There I met Captain Gorham Crowel,
Iy volunteered to bring me to New Or
leans Mr.. Saville requested our report
er to state that the treatment he had re-
ceived during the voyage of the Mcneil
could not have been more corteOus had
he owned the vessel, and he desires to
earnestly thank Captain Crowell for I'M
renting attentions.

Hon. Geo. Il. Marsh.

Noticing the accusation brought
against the Hon. Mr.. Marsh by the
Washington correspondent of one of the
Boston papers, that che seems to regard
the fact that he is esteemed to be lead
inc savant and scholar, as sufficient rea-
son why few of the ordinary cOurtesies
or even duties of resident ministers
should be required of him." | am re-
minded of an item in personal expert
ence bearing on the matter. At the
time Mr. Marsh was minister at Con-
stantinOple, the writer, who was then d
mere boy, on his return from journey
through the East, was taken suddenly
sick at Athens. Without friends, eX-
cept the chance companions of travel,
it was a solitary fight with death. One
morning the door of the room opened
and there came in an angel in the shape
Of a stOutsh gentleman, who announced
himself as Geo. p. Marsh. In a quick,
business like way he made his inquiries
and settled what was to be done. lie
had come to Athens on matters connect
ed with DR.. Kings imhrOgliO with the
Greek Government, and time was pre-
ciOus But he saw a fellow COuntryman
sick and alone, and that was enough for
his great heart. His first move was to
Get the writer out of the sitting hotel
into his own comfortable quarters, the
next to get him out of the unfayOrable
heat of Athens as soon as possible. But
one boat left for fortnight, and that
early the next day. 1t was time when
the passport system was in full force,
and nobody could come or go without
the 'vises' of the several consulates.
1t so happened that it was a fete day in
Athens, and no ordinary mortal could
get admission to the public offices, so
Mr.. Marsh, forgetting for once to stand
on his dignity as "a leading savant and
scholar, started out himself though
fierce sirocco wind was blowing, opened
Office after Office by the magic of his
name, procured all the necessary papers,
with infinite kindness made arrange
ments for the departure, doing all with
a delicacv and heartiness that seemed to
forbid even thanks The writer, in
somewhat extended journeys through
Europe, has come in contact with vari-
Gus official representatives of America
abroad, but in all that constitutes emf
nent fitness for such a station he has
never found an equal of George p. Marsh

DESTRUCTION OF THE STEAMSHIP ERIE
The steamship Erie, reported destroy
ed by fire off Penambuco on the list of
January, while on the voyage from Rio
Janeiro to New York, will be remember
ed as the vessel which was originally
built to run between Boston and Liver
pool, but owing to untoward circum-
stances was never placed upon the line
She was splendid steamer Of 5000 tons,
built at Newburyport in 1867, and the
excellence of her construction and gene
raj outfit merited a more prosperous
career than was accorded to her. After
her completion she remained without
employment a long time, moored at one
Of the wharves in East Boston. During
the Franco-German war she made two
voyages to France, with firearms and
other war material and in 1871 was sold
to the United States and Brazil Mail
steamship company for $t50,0O0 Her
last owners made extensive alterations
in the vessel, involving an expenditure
Of about 1925, 000 Her consort, the
Ontario, was also sold to the same par
ties. Since the Erie was sold she has
made one voyage from New York to
Rio Janeiro and back, and was on her
second trip when destroyed The first
cost of these steamers were 5700, 900
each. 10 Boston interest is affected by
the loss of the Erie. The cargo was
heavily insured in New York.

SENATOR HARLAN EXPLAINS. Senator
Harlan says in the Chronicle that the
money which he received from Durant
was properly expended in general cleo
ton expenses, and rebukes the commit
tee for going outside the proper investi-
cation, in the following terms: "The
only legitimate question before the COM
mittee is whether the funds of the Union
Pacific railroad company were applied
for corrupt uses and specially to corrupt
members of the House. This attempt
to travel beyond the record and drag the
names of parties who had no earthly
connection with the company or the
slightest pecuniary interest in its funds
or management, must be regarded as dis
creditable and unjustifiable.

A BLESSING

A little child hath blessed me;
/ wonder what it means?
1t seems a brighter blessing
Than a bishops or aqueen's.
IN her snowy nightgown dressed.
Standing up to be caressed,
Softly lisping in my ear
Pretty words, 'God bless. you dear :
They fill my heart with wonder:
OF God what can she know?
She cannot tell the meaning
OF the words that please me 50.
Like the church's silver bell,
Winning souls to heaven from hell,
knowing not what glory lives
In the message that it gives,
1t is so sweet to hear her
Her rosy mouth to see
Form the pretty syllables
That gives such joy to me.
Like a little mocking bird,
Deity she repeats each word
But they sink into my breast,
And 1 know that l am blest

In accordance with the above, I claim

every printer in Vermont can understand
and know what they have to do. 1t is
proposed that the several printing offices
in the United States give one or more
pounds of old type to be applied in max

adapted to reproduce sharp and definite
outlines, and peculiarly fitted to speak in
the mute form Of an image to those who,
in after years, visit his resting place, as
it did beneath the training of his hand, the
grandeur of his brain, and the largeness
of his heart. Those DESTROYS of sending

this statue, and remember that on the Sd
of February we are to give the proceeds
of one thousand ems to be expended in

THE LEASE OF SAMANA.-The supple
mentary treaty for the lease OF SANTANA
Bay to the American company provides
that the effective capital of the company
must be $780, 900 in current money of
the United States, divided into eight
thousand shares of the value of 800
each, but said capital and shares may be
increased from time to time by vote of
no less than two-thirds part of the capt.
tai existing at the time of said increase.
1t shall represent the value of the pro-
perty and improvements of the company,
which has power to fix its own value
from time to time and to represent it by
the issue of bonds or shares integrally
paid, or of both, provided the first yalua-
ton so made after the organization of
the company does not exceed $4,000,
900 capital and 100000 bonds. The
treaty is to be submitted to the popular
sanction of Dominica.

Rutland, Jan. II, 1873,

The RAIN AND THAw A;-D THE RAIL
RoADs.-The recent sudden thaw and
rain has made serious trouble on the
railroads On the Harlem Extension
railroad, the locomotive Francis Grain, "
attached to the train which left Rutland
Friday morning, at three o'clock, ran off
the track between East and North Dor
set, a sand slide having covered up the
track. The train was delayed about six
hours, meantime passengers, baggage,
etc. of the down mail train and up mixed
train were carried by this point. delay
ing them, however, but little. There is
trouble also on this road, between New
Lebanon and West Lebanon, caused by
a bridge being undermined and sinking
so much that it could not with safety be
run oAer, and the passengers and bag
gage We're carried by at that point also.
The north end of the road, at the present
writing, is all right, hut we do not learn
whether the bridge spoken of will be in
a condition to be crossed by the trains
to-day.
On the Rutland and Washington rail
road, miles Of their track was submerged
with the high water No serious wash
outs, however, are reported, but they
must have occurred had there not been
so much frost in the ground, especially
between Rutland and Castlcton, and at
some points between Rupert and Salem.
The usual morning freight, from Salem,
did not leave for Rutland until after
noon. The night express from Rutland
did not reach Troy until about o'clock
Friday morning. This road is all in
good condition again, the water having
gone done, and trains are running regu-
larlvy
The trains are running regularly
on the Addison railroad and over the
Rutland road. both east and north, and
we hear of no damage caused by the
water in these directions.
The morning train over the Rensselaer,
and Saratoga railroad was laid up near
West Rutland yesterday morning for
some time The detention was due to
the fact that the ice from a creek in the
vicinity had been forced upon the track
Since then the water has subsidized, the
tracks cleared and the trains are running
with little or no delay.
