have Is devoted to keeping up their posi-
ton, and to providing their sons with
liberal education. They can give their
sons no capital to start them in the world.
and they cannot even afford to renew the
furniture of their houses when it is falling
to pieces with old age. As for keeping
the buildings on their farms in proper
repair. that. of course, is entirely beyond
their means. When they die they hand
over their estate to their eldest son with
diminished income. owing to the addi-
tional charges that they impose upon it for
the benefit of the other members of their
families.
The latest novelty in journalism is a
newspaper connected with the turf inter-
ests, which is printed on bright green
paper. 1t attracts the eye, and is evidently
much admired by the news vendors and
ragged urchins who force the sale of this
young cabbage. The notion is not new,
though it is strange it has not been thought
of before. A political paper thlr;ting for
blood ought to be in red. Financial jour-
mails will claim yellow, the color of the
sovereign, and we may suppose the high
art journals will be sage color, properly,
or peacock blue and white. If these
colored journals come into fashion, it will
cause headache to look into the news
stands. ALPHA.

The Supreme Court.

The supreme court will probably con-
time in session for fortnight yet, and
perhaps three weeks, as there are several
important cases to be heard yet, among
others the Bennington quo warTdnto
cases. the Vermont Copper Mine cases,
the Peabody forgery case and the Wells
River and Central railroads cases. On
this account the adjourned term of Wash
ington county court has been put off till
Tuesday, the I'd of December. The long
petition for new trial in the case of Ira
R, Melendy VS.. Town of Bradford, in
which the plaintiff received $4,000, after
three jury trials. has been continued to
the next March term of Orange county
supreme court. The court upon hearing.
last Saturday morning, allowed the town,
the petitioner for II new trial. to add GER
tain nfiidavits to the petition, which tend
to show that during the past season Meen-
dy has been standing erect, holding his
baby and doing other acts totally inconsis-
tent with the theory that he is victim of
paralysis. Melendy's counsel thereupon
obtained continuance of the case in order
TO have time to meet this new evidence.
The case now on trial is the National
Bank Of North Bennington w. the Town
of Mt. Tabor.
The great Central railroad case, which
was on trial when last weeks paper went
10 press, lasted until Saturday noon
Judge Poland and Mr.. Fifield argued for
the Cenral James c. Barrett, Esq, of
Rutland, II son of Judge Barrett, for GER
tain equipment bondholders; Robert
Goldman, Esq, of Boston, for himself as
Il holder of guaranteed bonds; Francis A.
Brooks. Esq, of Boston, for himself and
other Vermont Central stock and bond
holders and Col. Aldace +. Walker and f.
j. Phelps, Esq, for the Vermont and
Canada company. The most important
arguments were those of Messrs. Walker,
Phelps and Fiield. Mr. Walkers was II
most elaborate presentation of the Yer
mont and Canada's position, which is, in
short, that their rent is prior to every
other debit that it was made such by the
final decree of 1861, and they have never
consented to any change. Mr.. Phelps
was even more witty and brilliant than
usual, and he fully sustained his reputa-
ton as the foremost orator of the Vermont
bur. Mr.. Fifield made the closing argu-
ment. 1t was as elaborate us Mr.. Walk
er's and presented the claims Of the ora
tors wildly and strongly. Arguing from
the terms of the final and compromise

asserted that Governor Smith and his
associates. while they might be "man-

their Indebtedness was first lien upon it.

court and vanity fair have been again
brought in close proximity at the only
place where they can be seen in such de-
velopment on this side of the globe.
The habitue of Washington who has
been away during the summer will observe
but few changes. The city has grown to
such grand proportions that the addition
of hundred or more houses make no pre-
ceptible addition TO the mass. 1t is only
when some new and imposing building is
added, like the annex to the Smithsonian
Institute or the new government printing
Office in South Washington, which are
about half completed, that the architecture

Gus. Few capitals have so many and such
splendid public offices as our own, and on
none is so much money lavished for inte-
ror adornment and luxury. In this respect
the contrast between the U. S. treasury
Offices and the Bank of England is striking
and suggestive. In the treasury depart
ment offices are richly carpeted, supplied
with mirrors. easy chairs and lounges; in
the other only coarse mating covers the
stone floor, and it is in other respects furn-
ished with little less severity than a
prison. The appearance of the committee

committees rs does the cell of recluse

Jackson in the first year of his first admin

AMI indirectly larger influence upon the
politics of this country th,n any other OF
her sex, save only, perhaps, the wife Of

succession of romances, more incredible

For some reason Stanley, the African
explorer, has kept tho object of his new
expedition on the west coast of Africa u
secret until now. In letter written at
the mouth of the Congo river, he states
that he is charged to keep open all such
districts and countries as he may ex.
plore for the benefit of the CONNER
cial world. 1.-The mission" he adds, sis
supported by philantllropic society
which numbers noble minded men of
several nations" Fifteen Europeans and
two hundred natives are with Stanley.
The best thing he can do for western
Africa now is to stop the horrible traffic
of the slave trade. That would be glory
enough for the remainder of the explorers
life.

there is strong and bitter opposition to
