Z "a Hint to TaniIfr rindssIliss5.s:z,, IS;

Find fault, when you must find
fault in private, if possible, and some
time after the olfense, rather than ut
the time. The blamed are less in
clincd to resist when they are blamed
Without Witnesses. Both parties are
calmcr, and the accused person may
be struck with the forbearance of tho
acfuser, who has seen the fault, and
watched for privatean d proper time
for mentioning it. Never be harsh
or unjust with your children or SER
wants. Firmness, with gentleness Of
dcmeanor and a regard for the feel
ings, constitutes that authority which
is always respected and valued. If
you havo any cause to complain Of .
servant, never speak hastily; wait, at
NIL oycnts, until you havo had time
to reflect Oh the nature of the of1ense.

his work. He had no patience with. and
little faith in, sculptor who willingly re-
lied on the skill of Others in
the important parts of the profession.
When he went to Europe in 1867 he placed
himself in professional relations with the
best sculptors and bronze founders, has
continued to do 80, and when he returns to
Paris will work with the most distinguished
bronze sculptors in France. The artistic
character Of Bartletts work is such as
might be expected of q nan engaged in a
profession requiring not only great talent,
but courage and perseverance,. Peculiarly
fitted for monumental sculpture, his model
ing is large and grand, looking for masses,
and leaving unimportant details in their
proper places. There is an electrical
effect in his modelling of q strong, heroic
figure, a rotundiy and fullness that is in
marked contrast with the monumental
sculpture generally seen IN this country.
His monuments are well composed. They
have unity and comprehension of general
effect. His subjects are American in
every sense, and his decided individuality
has protected him from any questionable
influence of foreign study.

Of light, 1876, when "reform is necessary"
Samuel j. Tildcn, the great "model ic-
" former" 10 in nomination for the presi-
dtncy, and the great "reform" party met
in convention, ia Tennessee, to place in
nomination representative men as presi-
Dental electors, men who are representa-
tives of Tilden'o kind of "reform," and,
therefore, fit and proper persons to vote for
the great roformer. For elector at large,

see placed in nomination, first and fore
most, Isham G. Harris, the "cor federate
war governor" of the state, who desert
ed 10 the confederacy, taking with him all
the coin in the state treasury. He took
with him, also, moro than eleven millions
of dollars of the funds Of the Bank of Ten
nessee, being the entire assets of the bank.
At the close of the war he "emigrated' to
Mexico, where he en1eavored TO establish
a confederate colony; but, failing in this,
returned to Tennessee, received amnesty,
became a representative Tilden ''reformer,
and was selected as a Tilden presidential
elcctor. How neatly this selection dove
tails in with Tilden's war record! How fit
il was that lsham G. Harris, the patriot

r1LDEN THE PATRIOT STATESMAN.

Straws show which way the wind blows,
and man is known by the company he
keeps Rather significant s,raws, as show
ing the way which Tliens wind blows,
are the facts that he never actively parti-
cipatd in Union meeting during the war;
that he WAS an active participant in the
Chicago peace convention of 1864; that he
declared the war to be unconstitutional and
illegal that he never contributed to the
amount of even one cent to the cause of
the Union, to the raising of soldiers, or to
the relief of the widows and orphans of
those who died in the service Of the Union;
aud that he endelvored to cheat, and did
cheat, the government out OF the larger
proportion Of his income tax from 1869 to
1872. IN !, even, went to the extent of per

The Catamount Monument at Ben
Notwithstanding about the Ar
tist who is to do the Work.


T. II. Bartlett, the sculptor who has
been selected to make the Catamount mon
ument a. Bennington, VT, is probably
more proficient in all the departments of
monumental sculpture than any other
American sculptor. Beginning as a marble
and stone cutter he has worked at those
trades in this country and in Europe, and
up through them to distinction in bronze
sculpture. Combining himself to the high
est style Of monuments, he has executed
two of the largest bronze cemetery monu-
ments in the United States, one at Hart
ford and the other at Waterbury, Conn.
He has persistenty pursued for many years,
under great disadvantages, the development
of the art of bronze founding, and has cue
ceeded in making the first perfec. spec-
mems of that art by an American sculp-
tor. One of these pieces is the heroic
statue of DR.. Horace Wells, the dis
coverer of anesthesia, erected in
Bushnell park, Hartford, Connecticut. The
other the well known group of the wound.
ed drummer boy. Both of these statues
were cast in one piece, and SO well cast
that they required no chiseling. They
were cast in Paris under Bartle.t's personal
supervision and direction, and were there
regarded as very rare and exceptional ex-
amples of casting. Bartlett is the only
American sculptor who has paid practical
attention and study to this great art. The
writer met the sculptor in Paris in 1867.
and at that time he was deep in the study
of stone cutting as seen in the works of
the Etruscans, he having passed two sum-
mers in Elruria. He then entertained the
project OF publishing work on the sub
Ject, with illustrations by himself. Terra
Gotta also received attention, and he made
the first piece of American sculpture in
that material. The figure is in the posses
sion of Hon. David Clark of Hartford,
Conn. Bartlett declared to the writer that
a sculptor Should thoroughly understand
and be able to execute all and every mart of

LUDLOW.

The Catholic fair which was recently
held at this place proved a decided success,
and especially SO considering the stringency
of the times. From communication of
Father Mclaughlin in the Black River
Gazette of the 10Th inst, we learn that the
result, financially, was the snug sum of
S31G5. Beyond all question this ia larger
sum than was ever realized before from
any fair hitherto held in the place. The
new Catholic church now in process of
building begins to put on magnificent pro-
portions, giving promise that when CON-
pleted it will be second to none in the
pl,ce.
The political atmosphere gets ruffled here
occasionally, as elsewhere, both parties
having held each "grand rally" The
democrats lead off with ratification" at
Ludlow hall, some two or three weeks
since, and the republicans at Hammond
hall, one evening, at more recent date.
Beth meetings were very well attended,
and undoubtedly satisfactory to the respec-
tive parties getting them up. The hall in
which the democrats net was more elabo-
IA ely decorated than that where the re-
publican rally was held, and some seem to
think that The democratic enthusiasm a
trille more emphatic than that of the fol-
lowers Of Hayes and Wheeler INDUCED

haps. from the superior strength of lungs

always very uncertain, but it is presumed,
Notwithstanding this, that the Coming
man will finally be elected.
The present term of Black River academy

RELIABLE EVIDENCE.
The Best Evidence.

The following letter from Rev. y. S. Best,
pastor or the M. E. church, Natlck. Mass, will
be read with interest by many physicians also
those suffering from the same disease as afllict-
ed the son or Rev. L. s. Best. No person can
doubt this testimony, as there Is no doubt
about the curative power OF VEGETINE.
NArICK, MASS, Jan. LIST, 1872.
MR.. II. r. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-We have good reason for regarding
your NBGErINE a medicine OF the GREATEST
value. We feel assured that 1t has been the
means OF saving our sons life, He is now sew
enteen years OF age ; for the last two years he
has suffered from necrosis or his leg. caused by
scrofuous affection, and as so far reduced
that nearly all who saw him thought his recov.
cry impossible. N council OF abs physicians
could give us but the faintest hope OF his ever
railying; two OF the number de lariIg that he
was beyond the reach OF human remedies, tn {
even amputation could not save him as he had
not vigor enough TO endure the operation.
just then we commenced giving him VEGE-
TINE. and from that time 10 the present, he
has been continuously improving. He has
lately resumed studies. thrown away his
crutches and cane, and walks away cheerfully
and strong.
Though there is stil some discharge from
the opening where his liub was lanced, we
have the fullest confidence that In a little time
he will be perfectly cure.
He has taken about three dozen bottles OF
vEGE TINE, but lately uses bur little, as he de-
clares he is TOO well TO be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours,
e s. BEST,
MRS. l.. G. +. BEST.
