IT seems that the kidnapping Of
the natives Of the New HebrideS, to
supply the labor market at Queens
land and in the FIJI Islands, has by
no means stopped. Under the in
nocent legitimate plea of exporting
voluntary laborers, this infamous
trade still thrives, though it is
nothing more or less than human
rapine, often attended by torture
and murder. In the case Of the
East African trade, the perpetrators
were half savage Arabs and Turks,
hut IN the South Sea the offenders
are huly Englishmen, Of whom the
world might have expected better
things. Great Britain, having been
mainly instrumental in putting
down this most odious traffic in men

brought to bear on the Sultan Of
Zanzibar, should now see that her
own subjects cease to disgrace our
common humanity by the revival

THEharmonious Democracy,which
the World thinks is coming into
power on hard-money platform in
1876, is playing some queer tricks
in Ohio. Mr.. Thurman, who, to
his credit be it said, has stood with
his colleague, Mr.. Sherman, against
initiation, is being roundIy berated
by the principal Democratic papers.
1t will be perceived that the Demo-
Gratis are not all agreed on the Cos
pei that is to save them, and are
even inclined, as yet, to stone some
of it prophets. The blood of the
martyrs, we suppose, is the seed OF
the church, but in this case there is
little time and less soil for the seed
to sprout in.-N. y. Times.

SPEAKING Of the charge of drunl-
enness against Members of Con-

among the reporters to crafty re-
venge or personal malice, the Wash

three years have | seen members
intoxicated on the floors of the
House, and | do not know that it
would be fair to state that they were
intoxicated, for / do not remember
to have ever seen them sober. 1t is
fair to history and to party, to state
that they were both Democrats, and
both from the State of Pennsylva-
MA, and are now gone from these
Puritan halls"

POOR TWEED.

Mr. Stern one of the commission
ers of charities is responsible for the
consideration now shown Tweed on
Blackwell's Island. He says Tweed
is in the safest and most strictly
guarded portion of the prison from
which he could not escape unless
twenty-five keepers constantly on
caurd were blibed. Furthermore,
he does not think it devolved upon
the commissioners to make a martyr
Of Tweed, or to exercise any I'M
necessary severity toward him dur
ing his term of Imprisonment, Fos-
ter s. Dewey, Tweed's private sec
retarv, and now his business agent,
SAYS the room occupied by Tweed
was certainly more comfortable than
the cell, but its furniture was not
worth more than $500. 1t became
a question with the authorities as so
whether or not some relaxation Of
the prison discipline in his case was
not necessary as an absolute neces-
sitv of the health of Tweed. He
was extraordinary corpulent and to
enable him to move about with any
comfort he was obliged to have his
body tightly bound up with his
cloths Already in i'll health his
sentence had crushing effect upon
his nervous system, and his condi-
ton at present was really pitiable,
If strict discipline was enforced, his
sentence to imprisonment in the
peuitcntiary would be equivalent to
sentence of death. Twelve years
imprisonment for misdemeanor was
asentence unparalleled in the annals
of law, and the counsel was very
confident that it could be set aside
when an appeal was made to a high
en- court Of the state.

TIE French Legitimists have u
new grievance. Marshal MacMa-
hon. the Duchess of Magenta, and
some Of the principal ministers, have
actually attendeda state dinner given
by the Chevalier Nigra, the Italian
Ambassador at Paris, in honor Of
Victor Emannuel's birthday. They
shudder at the idea that the chief
of the French State should have
drank the health Of the usurping,
Pope deposing King of Italy.
Though the President could not
well refuse, the Right will not be
appeased, and insist on regarding
the affair as a conservation OF sacri-
lagious spoliation. But this class of
politicians is incorligible. 1t thinks
far more of Rome than of France,
and would like to see the two gov
ernments III state Of permanent
discord, pending the much-desired
day when they could be brought to
open rupture and war. Considering
the suffering and losses Of France,
the burdens that press upon her,
the slackness of trade, the amount
of misery among tie lower orders in
Paris and in the other large cities
tle urgent necessity for repose and
security, IN order that wounds may
heal, business revive, and pauperism
diminish, it seems incredible that
there should be party in the land
so umpatIiotic as to harass the gov
eminent in the task Of rehabilitation

At the sugar House.

Among the delights of Vermont few
excel those of the month devoted by the
farmer and his family to the work among
the sugar NAPLES. A clear, sunny day
and they have been rare this month-at
the sugar house and orchard, for the
first time in quarter of century, by
one whose youth was spent in active duty
there, not only brings wildly to mind
the pleasant memories of the season, but
the actual enjoyment of the luxury keen.
ly intensifies the old associations as the
reality returns once more.
The changes in mode of manufacture
are many, but the good old maple flavor
and numerous surroundings, like eternal
truth and right, yet remains. From sap
to sugar in but a few hours The old
troughs of half century ago have dis
appeared, and even the woodea is gradu-
ally yielding to the metal bucket, and
the good old tree not half cut through
{" boxed" y to yield generous flow
We saw on of those ancient gathering
yokes, a thing of the past. And the sap
strained twice. But the pure white
sugar, suitable for the most delicate ia
BILE use, show we'll for the skill, care and
cleanliness which prevailed and who
shall describe the grand flow of the gold
en-, rolling syrup, in which has centered
that light and most delicate buff tints so
generally sought by the epicure of sweets
But the sugar house, airy and print
tive, filled with the sweet aroma, seem
ingly presage of the flowers in June,
the variety of tin and crockery ware,
(not always sound and above all those
numerous paddles (wooden spoons,) at
test well an equal number Of delighted
visitors
Not all of the pleasure, however, ex-
lists at headquarters, for in a fair day
one must scale the nights of the orchard,
and there view, within a circle of but a
mile or two, Numerous other similar es-
Establishments, all under full Roadway
steam up looking like very steamers
ready for a trip Glorious, happy view
From numerous farm yards comes up the
call of the bleating stock, impatient for
green pastures, amid which, prominent
is the clarion voice of chandelier and
the incessant response of the king of
turks
There are hundreds Of such scenes in
Vermont at this season, but we are sure
none more happy, generous or delightful
| than in South Woodstock.
