a SUCCESSFUL AND A DEFEAT TED
N'sNq sly NDLE. 2 N"

The truth is that both Hayes and Pack
ard were beaten in this State fairly and
legally by a majority averaging 5000
votes. The difference between the two
is, that the American people, including
Messrs. Tilden and Hendricks, were will
ling to acquiesce in the fraud, and so ac-
guessed in the inauguration of Mr..
Hayes, while the people of Louisiana
were resolved not to submit to the fraud,
even ifthey had to resort to revolution
to defeat it, and hence it was fonnd i'm
possible to inaugurate Packard without
the aid of the army and navy. This is
the sole and only difference between
Hayes and Packard. Let Hayes say what
he may, Packard was as fairly elected
Governor of Louisiana as he was elected
President and let Packard say what he
may, Hayes was elected President as fair
ly as he was elected Governor. Both are
frauds, the difference being that one got
away with the swindle, and the other
sailed to do so.--NeaU Orleans Democrat.

MURDER WITHOUT MOTIVE.

The late murder and suicide at Bran
don is in some respects the strangest of
the strange crimes for which Vermont
has Of late years been famous. Frank
Brassor, Jr,, aged fifteen, borrowed his
employers fine repeating rife for days
hunting Saturday morning. His father,
who was working in swamp, heard two
quick shots near by, but thought nothing
of it till a passer.by found the boy dead
in ditch, with pistol ball in his body,
and the rifle missing About ten o'clock
at night section hand on the Rutland
railroad met young man near Pittsford,
who fred at him with rifle, but was
Immediately knocked down, berelt of his
rifle and let Co. the railroad man keeping
on to Brandon, where he heard of the
murder and found the rifle to be the one
taken from the dead boy. A handcar
was manned and started back, but VIXEN
near the scene Of the tussle pistol-shot
was heard, and the murderer, q young
man of fine appearance and clothing,
with small white hands, was found to
have shot himself dead through the head.
He is since found to have been an English
lad of fine education and quiet manner,
who worked for a while on farm in a
neighboring town, and has been lettering
about Brandon. 1t has been thought
without particular reason that he was
crazy, but the fact indicates deliberate
murder from pure Covetousness. His
lightIcurly hair hadbeen dyed black, and a
burglars mask and other articles were
found in his pocket, with burnt cork, with
which he had partly blackened his face.
He probably saw the Brassor boy with
his handsome gun, and to get it Coolly shot
him, afterward fired on the railroad man
thinking him one of his pursuers, and
finally, when he found he was really in
danger, killed himself to escape hanging.

MANUFACTURE OF PAPER.

Paper made from linen was known in
Spain as early as 1910, or thereabouts,
and the same authority states that sey>
eral paper mills were in operation in
Spain as early as 1885, the art being
introduced into France and Germany
some two centuries later. Paper was
made in England during the reign Of
Henry VIII, but the first paper mill of
any importance was established by
German, named John Spellman, who
was jeweller to Queen Elizabeth. The
first paper mill in the United States
was erected at Roxborough, near Ger.
mantown, Pa; in 1903, some 50 years
after the art of printing had been intro
duced into the colonies,

treated like men their property rights

A letter, in which the name of the Car

date 18th of November and is as follows 3

ABSURD RED TAPE.
r,ibune's Washington DispAtche

r1ibune's Washington Dispatches.
A angular illustration of the prevalence
of red tape in naval and military circles ID
said to have occurred during the examina-
tion of Mater Conway, one of the few ON :
GERS who was saved from the wreck. In
order that he might swim ashore without
incumbrauce he stripped himself naked.
Leaving the Huron, he was cast upon the
beech in that condition, and dragged from
the surf by the fishermen. Every article
of clothing which he had was lost, and az
he was without money, it was not conve-
nient for him to obtain q uniform tmmedl-
diately. When he appeared before the
Court of Inquiry he is reported to have
been rebuked somewhat sternly by one o.
the officers of the Court for venturiDg to
appear before SO dignifed body without
a Uniform. He was askcd if he was not
aware that tie regulations required that be
should appear on such occasions In the
Uniform OF bis office. "But" interposed
Master Conway, Il Rave 20 uniform every
garment had was lost, and was washed
1pon the shore" 1t ia only fair to presume
that this fact had escaped the memory o
the officers of the Court 1t the time the re
buke was given.
