Glen Ella l. the name given this little

Telegraphic adyices from California giJe
late intelligence from Australia, from which
it appears that an American whaler has res
cued gang Of Fenian conyiets from Western
Australia The Colonial Government steamer
Georgette, employed in carrying mails to
King Georges Sound, had been armed and
despatched in search Of the vessel. The
Boston Herald says: The escape of these
men, we believe ten in number. was the re
suit of carefully planned expedition that
was fitted out in New Bedford about eigh-
teen months since. A vessel was purchased
in Charlestown for the especial purpose OF
effecting a rescue. She was provided with
a picked crew, and ali the appliances needed
to secure success. from funds subscribed by
the Fenian brotherhood in all parts of the
United States. Our fe,low-citizen, Boyle
O'Reilly, editor of the Pilot, who was him
self prisoner there at one time and made
his escape, was the master spirit of the En-
terprise, in which he had the assistance and
cooperation of some of the leading eitizers
Of New Bedford, from which port the vessel
sailed.

The VERMONT DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. -
The Montpelier Freeman commented as
follows on the State Convention held in that
place last week Thursday:
The parliamentary conduct of the con-
vention was not the best, and the motto
above the vestry door of Welcome stran-
ger" was not only appropriate to the place
and company. but to the business and COM
panv. But if there were more Democrats $
in Vermont they would get more chance to
practice work in deliberatiye assemblies.
The convention was much better in its indi-
vidual than in its collective composition.
But we suppose wrangles are inseparable
from full gathering of the unterrtied.
The convention was enthusiastic and the
secret of it was in things hoped for. or, as
Mr.. Childs. of Bennington. said. 1--WE want
the orange ourselves, what there Is left OF
it," There were few close votes. q. NJ.

a liberal one. an enthusiastic Cain delegate
going around and collecting Cain votes
which he had just distributed with the re-
mark, "votes for Cain this way" before
the chairman had called for the ballots.
The Cain field harvested by him was reaped
again during the same ballot and the result
was such big vote that Hiram Atkins
thought Of objecting but concluded not to.
Cain got rousing majority and it would
have been bigger had his supporters voted
few more times, but they did well as it was.

Congressman Whitthorne, of Tennessee,
chairman Of the House investigating COM
mittee on naval affairs, who in his back

Of the navy yards to promote economy and
the interests of the Democratic party, seems
to have thought that Swift would be tender
material to operate on for the purpose Of
proving fraud against Secretary Robson.
lie had no idea Swift was Democrat. and
when Swift appeared as a witness before the
committee, Whitthorne, being desirous of
max ing political capital out of Switt's testi-
mony yentured the question whether Swift
had ever contributed money for political
purposes. "Ies," was the answer, - paid
five thousand dollars for the election Of
James Buchanan. one thousand dollars to-
ward the election Of Captain Marcy in New
Hampshire. five hundred dollars toward the
election of Governor CASTOR in MaSsachu-
setts, and FIVE hundred dollars for Governor
Tilden." Whitthorne was staggered, and
the subsequent proceedings interested him

The UNIFORMITY OF THE SEASONS. - a
Waterbury correspondent of the Montpelier
Journal says;
On Saturday. June 81, the apple trees
were all white with blossoms that indicate
a fruitful year We have noticed for sew
eral years that the time when the apple
blossoms are at their best does not vary
scarcely day from the 81 of June. Men
talk of early seasons and late seasons, some
times they say 1t Is a month later or two
weeks earlier than the last year, and yet
the first day of June shows about the same
state of things every year, with variation
so slight mat it is really wonderful when
we consider the Gulf and Rocky Mountain
winds. and other meteOric changes that
make up what we call the weather" Not
withstanding this wonderful regularity, still
the frosts of April. and the cold winds OF May
cause a good deal of croaking every year,
and that too outside of the marshes ana
ponds. The bullirOgs crOak for JOY q; but
the doleiul croaking of the - bullfrogs in
breeches 5" who look solemn when they see
the few last flakes of some belated snow
storm, and begin to prophesy no
corn this year - and when the " early
rain " comes according to the promise, they
sigh, "Oh dear The ground is so wet we
never can get in the seed" 9 Sunshine "
comes in its order, and then they groan,
for 50 everything is drying up and there will
be no grass" and so on, always grumbling,
grumbling. grumbling. We know of sew
eral men who have been down in the
dumps, as blue as a skate, every year for the
past thirty years Not a single year in that
time that they did not prophecy failure of
crops, and not single year that they did
not have plentiful harvest.

CHARLOTTE, June s, ls16.
To the Editor OF the Free Press and Times
l wish. through your columns, to urge
upon the attention of the voters in the
county, the claims of this town to a place
on the senatorial ticket at the coming Coun
ty Convention. We have, as town, always
been found reliable in helping to swell the
party vote !; and have for years surrendered
our claims in the direction named We now
ask those who may compose this nomina
ting convention to give their support to the
candidate upon whom our delegation may
unite, for Senator from this side OF the river.
Of course, il We wish to receive the support
OF sister towns, We must send united dele
gait on; and | see-no reason why this cannot
be done, or at least why it should not.
Among the many good names. | wish to
suggest that of ID. L. Lake as a senatorial
from Charlotte. Mr.. Lake has had
legislative experience. He was q member of
the House in SO and 90. lie is good
business man, upright and reliable, and is
well known throughout the county. Should
he receive the nomination, he will add
strength to the ticket.

ening in the Republican delegation of that
State toward Blaine it will be in the inter
est of COnkling.
Mr.. Tilden must be statesman; nu-

paid $3.50 apiece for saying it. But some
of them add comments not altogether con-
sistent with the statement. Thus, the

CoLoRIYG CHEESE.
We quite agree with our correspondent
that cheese Is not improved in flavor or quail
ity by the use of annatto, and we should be
glad to see 1t done away with in cheese max
ing; but 50 long as certain marksts demand
colored cheese and are willing to pay a
premium for it, our cheese makers will find
1t to their interest to make 1t. We can
hardly 90 so far as to say that coloring in
cheese Is fraud. Annatto is harmless
coloring material. and our cheese markets
DO not use 1t for the purpose Of deception but
only 70 meet the wants of the trade. A
very large portion Of the cheese demanded
for the English market requires to be color
ed; but there are some markets, like that of
Manchester, where pale and uncolored
cheese Is preferred. 1t is hard to say why
the practice of cOlOring was first introduced :;
but very likely it came from desire on the
part OF manufacturers and dealers to I'M
press upon customers the idea that col
or was an indication of better quality. At
the present time we think the preference for
color is matter of education. People fancy
that colored cheese looks better on the
table, and from long custom in its use they
may fancy it is better than pale cheese.
Annatto Is very great expense to our cheese
factories and dairies. and on this account
We should be glad to see its use abandoned.
But apart from this We can see no material
harm in employing it provided it is unadul-
terated.-I. 4. Willard. an Rural Nap
