Robert Mcwade In his Improvisation Of Rip Van
Wrinkle attempts that which Joe Jefferson has placed
almost beyond the attainment OF any but himself. His
conception Of the character however, worthy at
tenton In SO far II differs from that Of his greater
rival. The play constructed by himself Is much su
perior in It's development to Boucicaults dramatza-
t,ou Both the pathos and humor In 1t less rodned
and subtitle but they perhaps for that very reason,
produce fuller echo In the minds OF those who de-
light chiefly In the robust phases oil art So too, with

The Brandon, w., Defaul,er.

BRANDON, VT, Feb. 2.-Mr. D. G. Bascom,
through whose official misconduct the Bran
don National Bank loses about 100000 which
was exposed nearly week ago. did not flee as
has been stated, but merely visited Rutland.
lie has now returned and is completely pros
trated by his disgrace. He protests that he
was not personally benefited a dollar by dis
counting Bachelors worthless paper, but that
he was drawn into it innocently. He says j.
H. Bachelor had been customer of the bank,
had met his papers regularly and had been in
the habit of making time drafts on his Gus
toners, which drafts had always been honored
until about two years ago, when they began
to return unpaid. He at once went to Middle
bury and saw Bachelor, who said there must
be some mistake, but that it would be all right,
and who requested him to cover them for few
days until he could set them right. Instead of
setting the matter before the directors, Mr.,
Bascom did this and was soon drawn in whence
he could not escape without exposing himself.
Then he had to keep letting more money to
carry Bachelor and prevent exposure, hoping
all the time that the latter's promises could be
made good. The directors would occasionally
pass Bachelors papers in small quantities,
surprising the previous paper to have been
paid and having perfect confidence in their
cashier. They did not investigate closely.
There having been other losses new board of
directors was recently chosen, which brought
matters to light The ex-casher's accounts
are all correct and there has been no classifying.
He was town treasurer and had a most excel
lent reputation. His brother was also con-
sdered enterprsing and upright, being men,
Der of the legislature and doing a very large
lumber business
Bachelor, who is doubtless the rogue in the
plot, claims the ex-casbier to have been part
ner with him, but this is generally discredited.
Five of his notes in the bank were raised from
total of $2500 to SOL. 500, aud he is now in
Middlebury Jail awaiting the examination, to
occur on Wednesday next, when Mr.. Bascom
will appear as witness. The case casts
gloom over Addison and Rutland counties, the
two men having fallen from the highest to the
lowest positions of business responsibility

What Autonomy Means.

AS the sufferiDgs of the Christians in Bulga-
ria were the ostensible cause of the declara-
tion of war against Turkey by Russia, the set
Element of the Bulgarian question must be the
starting point in the treaty of peace. Both
versions of the conditions imposed by Russia
and accepted by Turkey state that Bulgaria is
to receive "autonomy"-or the right of self
government-but that this autonomy is to be
on the Lebanon plan rather than on that pro-
posed by the conference of Constantinople.
The conference-which was made up of two
representatives of each of the great powers
after materially modifying its original sugges-
tons SO as to make them as acceptable as pos
slble to the Turks, proposed the nomination BY
the Porte, in concert with the powers, of gov
ernors for Bulgaria. Bosnia and Herzegovina.
the institution of certain reforms in the ad,
ministration of the provinces. and the appoint
ment by each of the powers of two commission
ers who were to superintend the observance of
the new regulations. These terms were unan-
imously rejected by the Grand Council of the
turkish Empire on January is, 1877, amid
shouts of death before dishonor!' and two
DAYS later the conference separated.
The autonomy of the Lebanon was the result
OF the wholesale massacre of the Maronites,
Christian sect acknowledging the supremacy
OF the Pope of Rome, by the Druses, who pro-
fess corrupted form of Mohammedanism.
These massacres took place in May, June and
cuAyt LOW, auu tuOCsduuS Vi bQ6 CQrlStlaQS
persisted. The European powers finally io-
terfered, a French army landed at Bey-
rout, an English fleet followed, aud as
the result of this Intervention the rlngleaders
In the massacres were executed and sort of
autonomy was established for the district
known as the Lebanon, in accordance with a
treaty signed at Beyrout on June g. 1861, be-
tween Turkey and the powers. Under this
treaty the Lebanon has Christian governor
who jealousy guards the rights of his people,
abont 5000 in number against any attempt
at Turkish encroachment. In January 1879,
the Porte proclaimed some new reforms, but
when the aide de camp reached the Lebanon
and was about to read the imperial firmau,
Rustem Pachs, the Christian governor. and
the consuls general of the six powers under
whose guarantee the neutrality-suspicious. of
the Lebanon is placed, objected on the ground
that the people of the district were beyond
the jurisdiction of such frmans. After a few
days OF telegraphing to and fro with the Porte
and the embassies, the attempt to interfere in
the Lebanon was utterly abandoned. So if the
Bulgarians secure even such a small measure
of independence as is enjoyed by the Maronites
Of Syria, their condition will be very materially
improved as compared with the past.-Eg.

disease. Naturally his will was Immediately
sought, but although it was positively known
that he had made one, it could not be found.
The deceased leaves several relatives, who of
course are on the qui viUe as to their prospects,
and it seems possible that the old gentleman's
house (which, by the way, is the Oldest in the
village, having been built in 1871, and in which
Lafayette is rumored to have stopped during
bis northern tour will be torn down in the
frantic endeavor to find the precious document.
As yet, all is mystery, but there seems to be
material enough in the case to form first-class
novel.
Speaking of rich men, there Is no town Of
Its size In New England that contains more
wealthy inhabitants than Montpelier. We
have here even millionaires. There are four
hotels in the village, the largest of which, the
Pavilion, was erected in 1876 and is surpassed
by none in the State. Mr.. f. o. Bailey, the
present proprietor, achieved quite a reputation
the past season for courteous management and
an hospitable table. The American. Union L.,

Fears of the Loss of the Sister Ship to the
Metropolis.
NEW YORK Feb. 3.-Grave fears are enter
tanned at Philadelphia for the safety of the
Mercedita, sister ship of the Metropolis. Though
she sailed January 2, she has not yet been heard
from at Para, with which place there is tele-
graphic communication. 1t is said she stopped
for coal at Barbados about week after leav-
ing Phladel phia, and has not since been heard
from. She had 250 passengers and HOO tons of
railroad material.
A later despatch says there is no ground to
fear for the safety of the Mercedita, as she could
not have reached the mouth of the Amazon
under three weeks, and the nearest telegraph
station is Pernam buco, 600 miles distant, with
no regular communication between the two
points,

wreck of the Metropolis and reports most
doeful state Of affairs The engineer had to
wade in water waist deep trying to find the
leak, which appeared to be in the stern. The
indications are that the leak was caused by the
heel of the sternspost being perfectly rotten.
Capt, Glennen thinks the life stations mora
sinned against than SHINING. The stations are
ten miles apart, and seven men are expected to
patrol the intervening beach The survivors of
the wreck of the Metropolis will arrive tomor-
row morning and leave Monday for Philadel-
pbia.
Quite number of the survivors of the wreck
of the Metropolis are under medical attend
ance from wounds and bruises, and many are
suffering badly from rheumatism, influenza,
etc. On the arrival of the survivors they are
met by the Mayor and citizens and every COM
fort afforded them Only one mail bag was
found with its contents intact. Another was
found, but the letters had all been destroyed.
