-BOD Bells tells the following story:
One night in 1901 little girl about a
year old was left at the founding hos
pital at Brest. She was well dressed,
and a note pinned to her skirts stated
that her name was Solange, and that
she would eventually be claimed by her
father. She grew up, however, I'M
claimed, and extraordinarily lovely; but
her intellect appeared to be weak, and
she suffered from fits of nervousness.
At twelve she was sent into the streets
to sell flowers, until her health failed
and she died. According to q custom
in the district, she was buried in a wicker
basket, and, it being winter and the soil
hard, a very slight excavation was made
and sand thrown slightly over. During
the night she revived from the trance
which had been mistaken for death, and
at length crept from the grave. In
crossing the ground between the cemete-
~ and the Notifications she was stopped
! by the sentinel's " Qui viUea" and, not
answering, fired at, very slightly
wounded, and brought into the guard
house. Her beauty made an intense
impression on rich young officer named
Kramer, who sent her to a school in Paris.
For four years he was tossed about in
the war, but on returning to Paris found
Solange an accomplished girl, without
a trace of the nervous debility which
had afflicted her. They married and
lived happily in Paris. At length Capt.
Kramer learned that inquiries were be-
ing made at Brest as to what had be-
come of the girl left at the founding
hospital in 1901, and that these inqui-
ries were made at the instance of the
Swedish Ambassador, with whom Capt
Kramer communicated. The result was
that a month later Madame Kramer re-
ceived formal acknowledgment from
Marshal Bernadotte, afterward Charles
XVI. of Sweden, that she was his
daughter. They subsequently settled il
Stockholm, were ennobled, and theil
son became an dttoche to the Swedish
Legation in Paris.

Taken from documents among the Ar
chives of Coppet. Collected and edit
ed by her great-grandson, Othehin d.
Jacksonville. Parts J. and III. Trans
lated from the French, for the Standard
Series publications, by Mary Stewart
Smith. This remarkable book has
created much interest in France, where
it has been but just issued. This trans
lation is the first published in America.
Madame Necker, one of the most FAM
Gus woman of her age, perhaps of any
age, was the mother of the celebrated
Madame dc Stael. Her husband was
for years the Controller General of FL
nance, taking prominent part in the
tumultuous events which nshered in the
Reign of Terror. Madame Necker's
house was the resort of the most distin-
guishcd writers of the time. This vol
ume is rich with the conversations and
correspondence of these great men,
never before published. AS is well
known, Gibbon, the historian, was ell
gagged to be married to Suzanne Cur
chOd (thc maiden name of Madame
Necker), and this engagement was bro
ken. Correspondence is here publish
ed, which, it is thought, will reverse
the verdict of history on this point.
The book has the interest of thrilling
novel, yet every word is history. y

presidency of the Register in this course

only desire his election because we be-

District at the present time. II is owl
dent that the Register thinks congress-
mans duty is to sit in his seat and look
grave and learned, but we trust that the
people have larger idea of dnty. The
attempt of the Register to belittle Col.
joyce is uncalled for and only reacts
upon itself when the best friends of Gov
Stewart admit that Col. joyce has filled
the position with ability and credit.
Though the county is being well work
ed by the supporters of Gov. Stewart,
yet many towns in this section are sure
for Col. Joyce, and it has always been
conceded that a man mus thave the full
support of his own county to win in
convention. We do not wish to appear

not so, bnt when the Register speaks of

but seldom that congressman has op
portunity TO do anything directly for
bis district. lie may, 1t IL true, have
hand In the River and Harbor steal,
but for such stealing one congressman
is about as useful to his district as
another. He can present petitions from
his district, but for this again no signal
ability is required. The truth is that
the business of congressman is to do
their part toward introducing and shap-
ing legislation for the benefit of the
whole country. That he is the mem
Der from q particular district has in
nearly all cases nothing to do with his
actions in Congress. lie is supposed TO
represent the political views of the
majority which elected him, but moth
ing more. This being the case, II is
the interest of each and every district
not more than of the country at large,
that men should be elected who will
be most able and influential as legisla-
tors.
This districts interest is simply to
have in Congress its man of the biggest
brains and largest personal power. We
believe and many who have watched
his course in Congress believe with us,
that Col. Joyce is not that man. We do
not pretend to say who is. But the
common consent has long proclaimed
ex-Gov. Stewart as one of the strong
est men in the district in all the re-
quirements we seek IN representative.
Many think his superior does not live
in the district. For this reason they
think be ought to be in Congress.
Col. Joyce has had three terms. Six
years ago he defeated one of the best
men in the district who was up for
a denomination, by the plea that three
terms was all man ought to have.
There would at this time be nothing
said against Col. Joyce if he was sufli-
ciently consistent to have the rule he
made applied to himself. Instead of this,
however, We find him actively at work
sending his men out over the field and
laboring strcnuously for another term.
If he were man of signal ability
and intellectual power, this might be
allowed to succeed ; but it is difficult to
SEQ good reason why this district
should content itself with such a man
when it can do better. We have nc
wish to undcrrate Col. Joyce's services
to his district, nor would we detrac
from his many good qualities. We
would be willing to support him for ,
second, or even third term; but wher
he asks for fourth, there is no use il
binding ourselves to obvious facts
This district needs a stronger man il
the next Congress.

~ The movement mentioned as ha,

" The movement mentioned as hav-
ing been entered upon at the late meet
ing of the Middlebury College Corpo-
ration, to raise fund of one hundred
thousand dollars for the institution
seems in a fair way Of early success.
Shortly after the papers were started
the sum of twelve thousand dollars had
been already subscribed, some large
subscriptions being by alumni residing
in Middlebury. A little public spirit
in this direction would seem to be an
appropriate manifestation from the
business men of Middlebury, who
largely benefit by the college, and
among whom the larger share of the
money thus secured will be spent.
Large sums from this place are not nee
essarily expected, but our merchants
and Weather neil ought not to allow
it to be said that no aid for our noble
institution of learning could be obtain
ed from them. A show ofinterest and
good will for the college at home will
have no little influence upon subscrip-
tons elsewhere. We hope to announce
ere long that the desired sum has been
raised. Brighter days are evidently
daw ming for Middlebury college.

" The County Convention meets at
the Aiddlebury court house next Tues
day. The candidates have been pro-
posed, and the outcome of the conven-
ton will be the nomination of set of
good men for county officers for the
ensuing years. For senators tho New
Haven district presents E. S. Dana of
New Haven, w. S. Wright of Waltham
and Charles Merrill of Addison; the
Addison district, J. N. North of Shore
ham and N. l.. Bennett of Bridport.
There will he little opposition to the re-
nomination of Sheriff Dunshce, who
has been good and faithful officer.
In the north district Hon. j. ID. Smith
will be renominated for judge of pro-
bate; in this district the probabilities
appear strong that L. L. Knapp will
receive the nomination. The bitter
attacks upon him have apparently
strengthened his cause. Hon. AID. Hay
ward of Weybridge, has many friends
who would like to see him in the Office,
and he would undoubtedly be faithful
and courteous judge; but MIR. Knapp's
experience and legal knowledge, and
his short occupancy of the office, as
well as his many acknowledged good
qualities all tell so powerfully in his IA
vor that he undoubtedly receive the
nomination. The opposition to him
has nothing but SANDER to rest upon,
and it would be very strange if it prov
cd successful in q community which
has known Mr.. Knapp so many years.
For states attorney, Mr.. Slade seems
to be the generally accepted man.
Hon. F. e. Woodbridge is mentioned,
but we are not apprised of his strength.
For side judges, Mr.. &. w. Wicker of
Ferrisburgh, is the principal name
from the north district. II. N. Solace
of Bridport, and Calvin Hill of Mid
dlebury, are the only ones we have
heard mentioned for this district.
There appears to be 10 great strug-
gle in prospect, and the convention
will doubtless do up its work in short
order.
