business in Brattleboro', thirty years ago, in A.
ringle room, with six worhmel, and has mako
his way constantly forward, IN spite OF more dis
asters and drawbacks than often attend such
enterprises. This fact IL due to the man hin-
self. He has made himself, through force on
honesty, energy, s%hrewdness and perseverance
Flooding on and on, smiling at disasters by fro
and flood, planting hiI feet rosolutely on nu
obstacles. with indomitable faith in himself and
his work. he has reached q very proud place
among his fellows, while still in The prime of n
hale and vigorous manhood. Ills executive
ability il great. He knows every detail of tho
vast business and watches It's daily progress
with q marvellous approach to omDiprosencc.
But, however absorbed he may be in this diroc-
ton, he has never neglected his highest duties
md privileges as a citizen. Always foremost
In everything conducive to the public welfare,
actively interested in affairs of church; State
and society, his influence has been wide and
good and the cordial esteem no has earned no
honorably waits impatiently for a fitting oppor-
tunity TO do him honor in kind.
The younger members Of the firm, who have
been active partners for a decade OF years, had
been trained in the business under the tuition
of their senior for some time previous, and tho
partnership only served to concentrate their
energies. They are young men of sterling
natural ability, and seem to have been particu"
larry we'll fitted for the positions assigned them.
Mr.. Julius Estey Is at the head of the counting
room and supervises the mathematical intrica-
cies Of the immense business with a clear-head-
ed faculty that might well be considered a
synonym for uniform correctness. The count
ing-rOom of a manufactory is where its heart
beats. Health there means strong and
regular p~nlsation through all the veins and
arteries of workshop aud storehouse. Mr.. Fuller
is at the head OF the mechanics of the concern.
His native talent, stimulated lH n thorough
mechanical training, has been invaluable and In
dispensable in the long and uninterrupted 80
ries Of experiments and inventions which, I'M

been combined in the complete whole known IN

When the present state governments
at the south were set up, the mass of men
of experience and capacity, as well as of
honesty in public affairs were shut out
from office, and in some states even from
voting. At the samc time a vast num-
her of Ignorant men were made voters
for the first time and, not knowing how
to arrange a government themselves,
were forced TO trust to such pcraons rs
knowing more than they did, were viii
ling TO act AZ leaders. OF this state of
things, u well AS Of the distrust of the
new voters toward their late masters, by
reason of the latter's bitter opposition to
their acknowledgment, rogucs who cared
nothing for the freedmen were not slow
10 take advantage. From every north
crn state they migrated into the state
undergoing reconstruction imposing
themselves on the majority as leaders,
they repeated in the new organizations
all the over government blundes and
articles of the communities whence they
came. Concealing by this consequent

lepces of Indebtedness against the states
which u%nhappily they controlled, solo

the proceeds, and saddled the debt Il
created on a people impoverished by civi

IN this way to an extent that makes i
impossible for the states in whose nam'
it was created to pay it all, or even il
some cases to meet the interest on tn
