Abolition Of Slavery in Portugal.

Information has been received at the de-
partment of state of the passage by accla-
nation, on the 22l of March last, of an act
by the cortes of the kingdom of Portugal,
granting unconditional freedom to the re-
naming Portuguese slaves, known as ap-
prentices or freedmen. 1t provides that
one year after the PRONUNCIATION of the act,
the system of apprenticeship under the de-
cree of the 2Sth of February, 1869, shall
cease, and al persons. apprenticed by Its
provisions, are declared free. The act also
provides for the manner in which freedmen
who have no trade or business. or who can
no: read or write, may be subject to tutel-
age by the civil authorities, but that this
right-right of tutelage-shall cease on the
2Sth of April, 1878. The labor of those
under tutelage is declared free, and they
are to be at liberty to make their own con-
tracts, subject to the revision of the
proper authority, such contracts to be IN
no case binding for more than two years.
The law also makes provision for rendering
effective the liberty it comedies. Thus it
will be seen that the act in question puts
an end to slavery forever in Portugal and
her dependencies, and not only proclaims
the freedom of apprentices, and the aboli-
ton in the Portuguese dominons of mans
apprenticeship to man, but declares that
the labor of the apprentices now under tu-
tclage 10 free, and that they are at liberty
to make their own contracts subject only
to the revision of the proper authority.

count of "others," not "himself.'
Thus has Henry E. Bowen spoken, BY
proxy to be sure, but it is none the less
himself that speaks. He throws down the
gauntlet to Henry Ward Beccher, his
"bosom friends" and to Plymouth church.
Will they dare take 1t up That he is not
familiar with the "true facts" of the Til
ton scandal, he says, but he was the bear
Tilton about his charges. Why was he not
called as witness d? We know why Til
ton did not call him early in the trial-he
knew too much about him. Does not this
statement or conversation of the scion OK
plain why Beccher did no. call him The
direct charges made are trivial and unim-
portant, but those made by implication
and inuendo are grave and significant. II
seems to us that the only course for Mr..
Beecher to pursue is to force Bowen :out
of the field of implication into that of di.
rect, positive statement. Bowen says he
has tale to unfold, that he is ready fol
'war" at the "tap of the drum" and that
if Beecher or the church will knock the
chip off his shoulder he will fight no mat
ter who is hit. If Beecher is innocent LEI
him provoke the conflict. If he is guilty
he can but confess by silence, and ther

and Beecher to HE himself to the Holy
Land. AS the son says ''you cannot hood
wink the people great while," neithe
will it take great while to ascertain
whether it is Bowen or Beecher who il
trying to play that game.

A Defaulting Postmaster Arrested

Three or four years ago, man calling
himself II. G. Mnher,.. succeeded in pro-
curing an appointment as postmaster at
Winona, Miss, Senator Pease gong on his
bond in the sum of $4,000. A year or two
afterward he became defaulter in quite a
large sum, and fled that section of the
country, leaving wife and several child
rem. Detectives set about hunting him up,
and in their searches ascertained he had
two or three wives living at one time,
going under the name of Charles Il. Aglin.
In February last the special service of the
postofiice department put detective on
his track, and last week he succeeded in
tracing him to Charleston, Mo-, where he
arrested him, and took him to Holly
Springs, Miss, in irons, and lodged him in
Jail at that place.

1T COSTS MORE.

Men are the same everywhere. The
almighty Dollar rules them in all trans
actions, whether they affect themselves
alone or involve their friends, neighbors or
townsmen. 1t Is carried to the extent OF
being penny wise and pound foolish. we
see this especially illustrated in the erection
Of buildings. The builder asks himself
whether it will be cheaper, whether pro-
posed building will answer, not whether 1t
will be more substantial, whether safer for
himself and for adjoining property owners.
We see it here in Rutland We all know
that wooden buildings, in compact crowd
cd localities, are but tinder-boxes, inviting
fire and exposing the more substantial
buildings to destruction, yet men care not
for this so long as they can build speedily,
cheaply and get insured. We see, to-day,
these tinder-boXes going up amid the ruins
of some of our recent fires, in spite of en-
treaty, protest or remonstrance. 1t is the
same selfish spirit that is displayed by the
nroprietors of New York hotels To-day,
those hotels invite fires which must, neces-
sarily, be attended with disastrous loss of
life and property, yet, when demonstrated
with, the proprietors reply that it is cheap
er to insure than to repair or improve.
Communities, as well as insurance COM
panies, have duty to perform in the prem
ises. Let a stringent building law be en-
acted, and let it be Vigorously enforced. Let
insurance companies refuse to insure thcsa
,inder-boxes. Make 1t cost these men
something TO disregard the rights Of others.
Make it cost both in person and in pocket.
We can, if we will, abate these wooden
building nuisances. We can do it in our
corporate capacity. Insurance companies
can aid us by refusing 10 insure at any rate
or On any terms, II tae public good and
the public safety will not induce men to
build with due regard to the safety Of
others, self-interest will, and proper action
on the part of the village and insurance
companies will so to ch their pockets that
their interest will Conform to that Of the
public. We have already had costly warn
ings enough, and neel no more at home
If our own experience and that of Mont
pelier, of Oshkosh, of Springfield, of Port
land, New Brunswick, and of Great Bend
Pennsylvania, will not convince us, moth
ing can. 1t does seem, however, thai
these kinds of argument must be all potent
and that they, following one another SC
rapidly and SO destructively, will impel
the citizens of Rutland to take that ounce
of prevention which is far better than q
pound of cure.

A Novel Verdict.

A letter from Kansas City, NO., relates
that last week poor farmer of Bates
county, went into grocery store in that
city for the purpose of getting some flour.
He had no money, but offered to mortgage
his team for one hundred pounds of flour.
The merchant refused to let him have the
flour without the money, whereupon the
farmer picked up the flour and put it in his
wagon and left town. The merchant sued
him and the jury gave their verdict as fol.
lows: Defendant shall have the -four fol
his consumption, and the merchant shall
pay the costs."
