A Curious Cabinet.

A cabinet-maker in Troyis construct
ing lady's secretary, which is interest
ing from the material of which it is
composed. The panelling and orna-
mental portions are of oak from the
Lawrence, Commodore Perry's flag
ship in the memorial engagement on
Lake Erie, September Ii, 1913. The
oak was secured by Mr.. G. P. Chap
man of this city, under whose order
the secretary is being made. The Law
renee bore the brunt of the battle until
she became so riddled with shot that
she was almost ready to sink. While
the Lawrence was receiving the concen-
trated fire of the enemy, the Niagara, a
ship of heavy armament, was practically
out of the engagement. Commodore
Perry left the Lawrence in an open
boat in the midst CT the engagement,
and went on board the Niagara. That
vessel was then brought into action and
the battle won. Riddled with shot and
almost wholly disabled, the Lawrence
was taken into the port of Erie, Pa.
The vessel was subsequently sunk
ton and raised, but was allowed to
sink again. Not long ago Mr.. Chap
man was fishing over the wreck, and
observed through the clear water a
piece of planking nearly detached. By
skilful labor with lines the piece was
secured The oak is dark from the
action of the water on the vegetable OIL
but is perfectly sound. Mr.. Chapman
has placed on one of the panels, in
letters of oak, the memorable words of
James Lawrence, when he was dying
on the bloody deck of the Chesapeake,
"Don't give up the ship. Troy Wing.

The GREAT MEDICAL REFORMATION
The Satanic Theory that preparations
which infame the brain are, in any
sense of the word, remedies, has been
oUerthroWfa, and can never be re-est06-
Ashed. The wonderful effects which
have attended the use of DIR. WALKER
VINEGAR BITTERs as an antidote to the
causes of disease, and cure for every
comfortable ailment, have demonstrated
the utter fallacy of the doctrine that al
cohol is a tonic as we'll as a stinaulant
The new and Incompatible Vegetable
Remedy which has superseded the
death-draught of rum bitters, is as free
from every Intoxicating element as the
dew of Heaven, yet see now it is invig-
Grating the nervous, relieving the bill
ious, curing the dyspeptic purifying
the blood of the scrofulous, strength
ening the debilitated, arresting prema-
ture decay, and replacing dependency
and weakness with cheerfulness and
activity. Truly grand Medical Revo-
luton is in ogress.-Com.

visiting our State that we show a larger pro-
portion of good horses than any other State in
the Union. This, we tell them, is owing to two
principal reasons in the first place, we breed

place, our people use Sheridan's Carolay Con-

ncalculable advantage

A Novel Suggestion,

A steamer mounted on wheels, or
rather rollers, is the novel suggestion
of French engineer, M. Huet. Rec
oenizing the fact that the main force
expended in propelling steamers is ex-
erted in forcing their bulk through the
water. thus having to overcome the
sliding friction of the whole immersed
surface, M. Huet proposes to mount
drums, being hollow. should give suf-
fcient floating power, that, when the
side paddles are put III motion, the
rollers would revolve upon the surface
of the water, thus avoiding the friction
which is now encountered. Sufferers
from sea sickness may well look with
dread upon the introduction of this
new invention, by which the ship will
respond to every humor of the sea.
An Innovation.
The Princess Marie of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin, who is about to marry the
Grand~Duke Vladimir of Russia, will
introduce a new custom into the Russian
court. It has always been the usage
for foreign princesses who are to be-
come allied by marriage with the impe-
rial house of Russia to enter the Greek
Church, but it appears this practice is
not considered consistent with the dig
nifty of the new German Empire, and it
will probably be discontinued. The
Princess Marie will probably be the
first who will continue in the exercise of
her own religion after becoming
member of the imperial family. 1t is
expected that the marriage will take
place at the end of August, at Tearskoe
Selo.

The Speakership.

Considerable canvassing is already GO
ing on for Speaker of our next House of
Representative. Hugh Henry of Ches-
ter, Loveland Munson of Manchester,
Hon. HI. III. Powers of Morristown and
Hon. Pitt w. Hyde of Castleton have
all been named for the place. If we
were in thenominating business weshould
name Gen. Lynde of Marlboro, on the
ground that it is about time that Wind
ham county threweway no more of her
opportunities. We presume, however,
that he is nota candidate, and this leaves
Mr.. Henry of Chester as the only candi-
date on this side of the State. We don't
believe that Mr.. Hyde will be candi-
date. Our impression has been that the
next speaker would be taken from the
west side of the State, and that it Law
between Munson and Powers, either of
whom would no doubt discharge the du-
ties in very acceptable manner. But
it has not always been the rule to al.
ternate the speakership, as was the case
when Grandey of Vergennes was succeed
ed by Joyce of Rutland. To even up
this thing it would belong to the east
side two more years, and this would
again bring as to Mr.. Henry. On the
whole, there does not appear to be any
special geographical claim, in this mat
ter, to prevent the election of speaker
from any portion of the State, or if there
is the east side has quite as strong claims
as any other section, and the duty of the
House will be best performed by choos-
ing their best man for speaker without
regard to geography, and the best man
is he who will aid most in forwarding
promptly the work of the session.

Another Rebellion?

From various places in several of the
Southern States, comes the intelligence
of numerous political murders, showing
a renewed and active rebel element. A
recent letter from Hon. Charles HAYS,
member of Congress from Alabama to a
note of inquiry from Gen. Hawley of
Connecticut, gives startling facts con
corning the murder of white and black
Republicans in Alabama. He gives on
ly we'll authenticated facts with dates,
names and localities, and in introducing
his narrative says;
/ had fondly hoped that the reign OF
terror in the South was over, and that
peace, good will and prosperity might
henceforth reign supreme. In this hope
am sadly disappointed, for candor com.
pels me to say that to-day riot, murder
and assassination of true friends of the
Government are more common now than
they have been at any hour since Lee
surrendered to Grant, and unless the
strong arm of Federal power can aver
the calamity, | can zee nothing in the
future save gloom and despair to tbs
loyal men of the South, ruin to the ma
terial interests of the country and death
to those Of us who uphold the honor
and integrity of the nation and counse
submission TO the laws of the United
States"

Revolution in Louisiana

During the past week a revolution has
occurred in the state government of
Louisiana, Gov. Kellogg being over
thrown, and general surrender of all
state affairs in New Orleans made to the
usurpers, who are headed by Lieut.. Gov.
Penn. This work has been done at q
cost of from % to so lives, and larger
number wounded. The president has is
sued his proclamation to the people warn
ing them against all unlawful acts, and
the result of all does not yet appear. OF
course if one state government can be
thus overthrow, any other may be sub
ject to the same. AT present it is re
bellion in Louisiana which may extend
elsewhere, though the usurpers are ap
parently trying to keep the peace with
the national government, but all thai
may be only to get foothold for more
extended operations.

the New Newspaper Postage Law.

Reports from Washington say that the
Postal officials are busy in devising means
for carrying out the act of Congress in
relation to the prepayment Of postage
on newspapers and periodicals mailed
from the office of publication, which
goes into effect on the LIST of January,
1875. This law gives wide discretion to
the Postmaster.General in all respects,
save as to the mode of payment, which is
required to be by special adhesive
stamp TO be devised and furnished by
the Postmaster General, which shall be
affixed to such matter, or to the sack
containing the same or upon a memoran-
dun of such mailing or otherwise, as the
Postmaster. General may from time to
time provide by the regulation. 1t is
evident that the law did not contemplate
the stamping of each paper, as it pro-
vides they shall be weighed in bulk, and
payment OF postage made per pound ;
neither can stamps be affixed to the bag,
as in most cases other mail matter goes
therein. The most feasible method of
carrying out the law, it is said, appears
to the department to be the use of re.
ceipt books and stubs, the receipt to be
torn off and given to the publisher, and
the stub, after the necessary memoran-
dun is made, to be stamped with the
requisite stamp or stamps and retained
by the postmaster.
