A member of the cabinet is reported by
the Cincinnati Commercials Washington
correspondent as authority for the state
ment that Cows. Nichols and Hampton
have already demonstrated that the as
surances they gave the president, that
they would preserve order and admins
ter the laws in the interest Of all, will be
faithfully fulfilled. In other words Re
publicanS find no chance to criticiSe I'M
favorably the administration of the laws
in Louisiana and South Carolina, and are
inclined to claim the credit for the salts
factory condition of affairs in these states
for themselves and their president. The
fact is that Democratic government in
the states named presents such a con-
trast to the Republican government that
preceded it, that the Republican party is
hard pushed for some escape from the
damaging reflection cast upon it. The
change in Louisiana and South Carolina
is in no respect different from the change
that took place in Georgia, North Caro-
lima, Alabama and Mississippi when they
passed from Republican to Democratic
control
The harbOr of Pensacola, in Florida,
has presented an unusual scene of late.
1t is surrounded by one of the finest tim
Der districts in the world, and q large
number Of vessels had resorted there to
secure cargoes of timber and lumber. A
few weeks ago there were $50 ships in
the harbor at one time, representing
nearly all the civilized nations of the
globe. The present British consul at
Pensacola, Mr.. Howe, has, during the
last three months, signed papers for sixty
British vessels. 1t is said that the weekly
payments for labor in loading ships with
lumber have reached $6O,OOO at times
The town has begun to improve smartly
under the stimulus of the new trade, and
instead of the struggling, dilapidated
place it was few years ago, has become
a thriving, enterprising city. The harbor
is one of the best on orr coast

The Press says that two young children of Capt.
Winslow Andrews, who resides at oodforis Cor
ner, Deering, got mold of an old pistol which was
supposed to be entirely harmless, but unfortunate
y was loaded. The oldest Of the children, boy
about ten years of age held the weapon, and his
sister about five years of age was playing with
him He pointed the pistol at her head and i'll
play fired at her, and the pistol to his surprise
went of. The shot struck the temple and
glanced, making comparatively slight wound
If the pistol had been aimed straight the child
must have been killed instantly,

YOUR STATE

The third volume fths work is now ready
for subscribers and all those who are willing
to become such.
The third volume contains the Index to
Vol. H., the complete history Of ORLEANS
COUNTY, the complete history of RUr-
LAND COUNTY, with complete INDEX
of both Counties, and the whole makes ,A5
large pages, of small type, and is sold by the
publishers and their appointed agents, at the
uniform prices of
Five dollars vol. in paper covers.
Six dollars vol. in cloth binding.
Seven dollars Il vol. in half turkey
binding.
The back volumes can be furnished for the
present, at the same rates; but, rs nearly half
of the first vol is not sterotyped, those Ver-
montcrs who desire the entire work should
order at once.
None should lose any time in ordering,
either volume, as the second and third VOL
umcs will only be printed in small editions,
as they may be called ior aud it takes some
time to print even 500 copies.
The publishers think it proper to say to
VermonterS everywhere that they have eX-
pended q large sum Of money i'll preparing
plates for this work, being encouraged to do
so by the reception given to it by the people
OF the State at its commencement. They
were not discouraged by the fact that the
second volume was not called for so largely
Us the first because they knew that "thc
times were out Of joint.
They have bestowed more labor on this
volume than OH the second, and if encouraged
by liberal sales, the fourth volume shall be
better than either OF its predecessors.
Remember that this is your own work;
written by your own men and women, and
interesting to you and your children, above
all other works which have been published
during the last halt century.
