An unusually vile comedy, in three
acts, entitled "Chateaufort," has just
been produced at the Gymnase, Paris,
and has proved a dead failure. The au'
thor is, singularly, n lady, the Countess
de Mirabeau, and her shocking disregard
of moral proprieties and the d~ecencies OF
life in the dialogue and situations Of this,
her first play, disgusted even Paris. The
Paris journals declare it the most immo
raj and disgusting play ever presented
on the stage. There is not one v%irtuous
person in the plot. Every male charac.
ter has one to i've mistresses, and all the
females of the piece, if single, are loose
in morals; or, it married, are the mis-
tresses of other persons in the plot. The
denouement is a revelation OF e%veryone's
v~ileness, the ruin of the reputation of all
the female dramatis persona, and the
suicide Of the leading man, who is the
worst one ofthe lot. All Paris is shocked
that a lady of education and refinement
could write such a play. The Countess,
however does not blush.

The Man Who ~ Crossing the ATTAIN
tic In a DOPV.

The Man Who IL Crossing the Allan
tic in "a DOPy.
The bold mariner from Gloucester, who
is now making his way across the ocean
in a dory, appears to be getting on ia.
mCusly. A Troy gentleman, who had
0een on a visit to London, and who re.
turned by the steamer Greece, reports
that in mid-ocean the watch at the bow
reported to the captain that he deserted
ahead what seemed to be part of a wreck.
As it neared the ship the object was dis
covered to be a small skiti. and in the
darkness the figure Of one nan was des'
cried. The captain Immediately gave
orders to stop the engines, and to get the
ropes ready to phil the man on board
The sea was running high. The skifi
came quite near to the ship, appearing
and disappearing at intervals-now on
the top OF an immense wave, level with
the deck Of the vessel, the next minute
hidden from sight in the pillows. The
captain, calling to know who was in the
boat, was answered in q strong German
accent: II am John Johnson, from Glou'
| cester, Massachusetts " He told, further,
that he was bound TO Liverpool; that his
skif was named Centennial" and that
he had been out fifteen days. He then
asked the captain to compare reckon
ings. His was longitude 46o, latitude
39o; the captain was the same. johnson
informed the captain chat he slept by
day, and before goingto sleep he took il
his rudder and took down all sail; during
sleep his craft drifted with the waves
He was awake at nights. The captain
made a final appeal to him to come OF
board, stating that if be refused he woull
probably regret it when the vessel was
out of his reach. To this johnson EN-
phatically answered: mo, sir; goot
night" aud throwing bis sails to the wine
was soon lost TO sight. Johnson sits il
the center Of his boat, with o lamp burn
ing before him, exposing the dial Of wha
seemed to be q compass. The deck atorC
and aft is covered with canvas, undei
which, besides the compass and lamp
we're several barrels, containing NJ
doubt, provisions, water, etc. When las
heard from July 23) Johnson was lesi

INDEPENDENT PApERs.-An Independent

INDEPENDENT PApERs.-An independent
paper publishes all the news, whether it
tells for one side or the other, aud comments
according to the facts while an organ gives
prominence to news that tells for its side,
suppresses or belittles all that tells on the
other side, and goes for its party right or
wrong, and generally for all the candidates
OF its party. Butler was the only exception
in all the candidates made by our Boston
republican organs, aud if the democratic or.
gan made single exception, we failed to
notice it. OF course there are organs and
organs, and some OF them are merely con-
temptible. 1t is only as they approach iu-
dependence that any Of them deserve respect
or WELD any influence. The best of them
are prejudiced. The New York Evening
Post is one of the best in the country, but
in recent article, published since the cleo
ton, it speaks of"the candidate Hayes, sup
ported by such men as Woolsey, Schurz,
Bristow, Evarts, and Il. H. Dana, Jr., /"
and "the candidate Tildcn, supported by
Ewing, Kelly aud Allen" A truly indie
pendent paper would have remembered that
among Hayess supporters, and very promi-
nent, were such men as Jack Chandler,
Blaine, Babcock, Boss Shepherd and Ben
Butler, while Tilden was supported by men
like Charles Francis Adams, Parke God
via, Prof. Summer, Lyman TrumbuIl, Rob
ert G. Winthrop, and, ii we are not greatly
mistaken, William Cullen Bryant, who once
controlled the editorial conduct Of the Even.

The question now before the country is of
infinitely greater Importance than the one
which ten days ago was undecided. 1t is
not iOhO is to be elected president but hOtC
shall president be elected--by a Louis
lana returning board, or by the American
people 2-a. Louis Republican.
The sole question is, For whom were the
majority Of the votes 10 that state cast ?
Fraud can be assumed upon either side, and
the assumption proves nothing Tue pre-
vious action Of the present returning board
has indeed laid it under suspiciOn.-Harp.
er'S Weekly.
One thing is beyond question the cleo.
tons have gone against the republican
party. Whether or not Mr.. Hayes be
counted in by sorry and very doubtful
vote, the fact remains. Republican rule has
run its course for the present 1t has dis.
possessed itself-CathOlie Regieao.
What kind man Gen. Grant is If he
keeps on pardoning out Of the penitentiary
a whlskey thief week, he will have his
friends all about him again, before the 4th Of
next March. Under the circumstances, the
guilty men do not care to escape.-BostOn
Post.
The fact that great numbers of sober and
candid Christian people are not satisfied with
any vindicatiOn yet furnished by or for Mr..
Beecher cannot be denied. They have been
driven into it by the logic Of events,-COn
gregatiOnaliSt.
1t is pity Mr.. EVarts aud Gen. Dix are
not in New Orleans to take the lead on the
republican side. The persons in charge
there seem to be of the small attorney order
aud not aware Of the Importance of absolute
fair play in this case.-New York Herald

To the Readers of the Farmer.

In terminating the pleasant relations which
have existed between us for nearly year
and half, desire to say word in favor
of the publisher of the paper, my successor,
and the cause represented by the FARMER.
After a somewhat extended acquaintance
with publishers Of weekly papers and their
ways, it gives me pleasure to say that 1 be-
lieve Mr.. Cummings to be the most liberal
of them all. And if the farmers of Vermont
will give him the proper support, he will do
his part to make the best agricultural paper
in the land.
Mr.. Hubbard, who takes charge of the
FARMER from this time, possesses abundant
qualifications for the position. He is worthy
of the confidence of the farmers of Vermont,
and if they will support his efforts, will give
them q paper of which they may be proud.
1 have no doubt that he will make the FAR
MER more worthy than ever before Of your
patronage.
1t would be a source Of genuine satisiac-
ton to see the farmers Of Vermont give such a
support to the FARMER that it shall be pos
sible for its managers to make it the very
best agricultural paper. Our state ought to
have such paper, and has album
dant resources for producing it. 1t
would be worth many times its cost to the
agriculture Of Vermont; but no man can
long give paper of that class, unless farmers
themselves, who are most interested in the
enterprise, will stay his hands with their ac-
tive moral and pecuniary support.

The Legislature.

Our Legislature has done some wise and
some uuwise things during the work. The
prison committee have presented good re.
port which calls attention to the inevitable
lack Of discipline from divided authority.
Let the governor appoint the superinten.
dent and then hold the governor responsible
for his ability, energy, fidelity. Having
tho state prison great bill Of expense with
scores Of strong, ablo.bodiod men in its cell:
is proof of incompetency or bad manage
ment somewhere. If it was private bust.
ness enterprise the balance would be on the
other side Of the ledger. Then it speaks oil
the need Of drainage and dry sunny hospital
arrangements. AS near as the valley is, and
the easy grade for good drainage, imperfect
foul drainage filling the premises with sewer
gas is worse than a blunder. Mr.. Eaton's
resolution concerning the salary gives an
opportunity to test legislative virtue, and
see who are "salary grabbers' on small
scale among the "virtuous sons Of toll" in
Vermont Col. Spragues plan Of a fixed
sum, say S120, for the session was in the
right line, then the overworked members
could adjourn and 60 home as oft as they
liked and those editors of such marked, trans.
lent virtue would have nought to utter.
But why did not the heroic colonel apply
his law to this body of wise menu A little
tinkering Of the prohibitory law was intro
duced of course. Now why has not some
man sense aud courage enough to introduce
bill which will send both the rum seller
and the drunkard to Jail for three months,
with no communication of the sentence by fne
or pardon. True, that would be severe, but
if the traffic in intoxicating liquors is as
heinous sin and destructive of life aud vr-
tue as is claimed by the temperance advo-
cate. why the milk and water, shlly shally
method of dealing with it?
Col. Roswell Farnham was elected a
trustee Of the agricultural college, a wise
choice of a most capable and worthy man
-Four and twenty years ago we passed our
first term of academic study under Col
Farnham's tuition whom VIC learned to ad.
miro him as man and instructor, which
sentiments have followed the natural law Of
growth until this day. The farmers of Yer
mont are to be congratulated on the election
to that important position of man so capa-
bic and wisely devoted to the interests of the
state.

church in Guilord, Nc, has call to the

The Roman Catholics, who had scarcely
parochial school in this country % years
ago, have now, according to Sadliers direct
ory, about 100, with 100000 pupils.
An estimate has been made by one Of the
cergymen that out of $4,000 persons in
Somervile Mass, who are Protestants, only
1000 attend divine worship on the Sabbath.
New York is importing another English

work, have been given to agriculture life
TO which We were both born and bred.
In other than agricultural features tho
FARMER will have, so far as we can give
it, a positive character, for We believe
the time has como for an entorprising, up
right, Independent journal in Vermont,
bound by no party rules and traditions, and
the organ Of no clique, political or otherwise.
As much as we personally desired tho cleo.
ton Of Gov. Hayes to the presidency, we
are not unaware of the significance Of the
large following which Gov. Tilden com.
manded from among the candid, intelligent
voters Of the north, among whom are such
men as Parke Goodwin, Prof. Sumner and
Lyman Trumbul. Therefore on all political
questions the FARMER will have and utter
its opinions, not as party journal, but seek.
Jog tho greatest good of the entire country
through the wisest measures, from whatever
source, approving things that are excel
lent in whomsoever found.
1t shall be our endeavor to discuss in the
same manner, such social, educational and
religious topics as the current thinking
or demands of the time may render impor-
tant to the interests of our commonwealth
not forgetting that all these subjects cen be
treated adequately, wisely aud safely only
from the stand. point of the Christian NOR
alist. In this special department of our
work we have the pledged sympathy and
cooperation Of some of the wisest philan.
thropists and most successful educators Of the
the state. We shall also devote to the
better works of the literature of the day
such attention as our opportunities and abil-
ity will permit.
We trust that by allying itself with what
ever is best in the varied movements of the
day, seeking to conserve all that is valuable
of the past, by cooperating with our institu.
tons of learning, by becoming the helper of
every agency for reform, as well as fostering
the numerous industries of the state, The
FARMER will receive that support which its
attention demands. L.B.H.

One Day Later.

In order to give better and later market
reports and news, and often the better to
give the proceedings of agricultural and
other meetings the same week they occur,
we have decided, for an experiment, at least,
to print the FARMER on Fridays instead Of
Thursdays beginning next week. We shall
hope to get the paper to about every sub
scriber by Saturday afternoon but if any
fail to get it by that time we want to hear
from them, in order to judge whether it is
best to change back to Thursday or not.
Remember that the FARMER will come one
day later next week.
