TRUE CHIvALRY.

The following lines, headed. "a Soldier'I
Story" are taken from volume Of poetry By
the Rev. G. D. Bell, D. D., OF the Church o
England. The story describes how Q bocy o
English soldiery. which had been forced to re
treat before overwhelming numbers, d1scoy
eerd that the wife Of q wounded comrade bad
been left behind. Her pleading cry for helr
was heard by them; and Immediately the wore
Of command was given, "Haltv'
"Haltp AS they hear that stern command,
Silently turn our men and stand.
"what man will 60. on foot or horse.
And save a life from death, or worse7"
Our Captain sprang from ont the rank,
Struck spurs to his horses flank
The snorting steed, in melted might.
Started, and dashed right down the height.
We saw them in the currents tide,
Cleaving the waves to the other side.
Rifle and rifle sent forth its bali,
Bullets like raindrops round them fall.
And the waters hiss. and flash. and steam.
Under the shot that rufties the stream.
Our Captain, caring not, rode on,
Till at length the other side was won.
He reached the shore without a wound,
And climbed the bank near the Frenchman'i
ground.
Then pricked his horse, and gained the place
Where the woman stood with awe-struck face
And terror in her straining eye,
Lest he had only come to die.
He bent an instant; STOPPING low.
He swung her up to his saddle bow.
He turned in haste his horses head,
And plunged again in the rivers bed.
Our hearts beat fast as we saw him come;
We hardly breathed, stood still, and dumb;
But he rode not now a ride of death.
There vas no need to hold our breath!
The French had dropped their muskets all;
No bullets whiz, no ring of ball,
Came whirring on our Captains ear
No cause he had for care or fear;
For the cheer from the British lines that rose
Was echoed back by our gallant foes.
Whose hearts were stirred by that brave deed
When our Captain bore, on painting steed,
Back to our camp the soldiers wife.
Res. ued at risk-of limb and life.

A General Commission.

During the late session of the legislature
the WATcHMAN advocated the appointment
of general commission to sit during the
interim between the regular legislative ses-
sions, for the purpose of considering sub
jects Of general interest, like taxation, edu-
cation, agriculture, etc. This commission,
it was urged, should observe the practical
working Of the laws affecting these subjects,
noting defects, indicating the successful or
satisfactory working of laws, investigating
measures of doubtful or disputed utility, OBJ
tanning and compiling reliable information
in relation to general subjects, and prepar-
ing the way for intelligent and practical
legislation. Such information would have
a judicial force and advantage with men,
bers of the legislature, and must inevitably
secure degree of ripeness and perfection
to legislative enactments of which, by COM
mon consent, they stand lamentably in need.
The penuriousness of the legislature was
fatal to fair consideration of this, as TO
other measures of great public utility. Atten.
ton is called to this subject now to point out
the advantages which might accrue to the
state from the recorded observations of such
body of men on the practical working OF
the new listing law. The subject will un-
doubleday be an important one before the
next legislature, and many proposals of
amendment will be made, some honestly, in
the interest Of the increased efficiency of
the law, others to deprive it of its effective
vitality. The coming two years will de-
velop many new and interesting phases of
the subject OF taxation, not only in Vermont
but in neighboring states. Few individuals
will pay systematic attention to these de-
velopments, and tinkering of the law will
very likely proceed on the old haphazard
plan,-for every defect corrected mourning
the risk OF making two new ones. Shrewd
observers, with an axe to grind or selfish
interest to subserve, will be active and ag-
gressive with so much information as suits
their purpose, Withholding or distorting that
which is adverse. By such tactics many
measures of doubtful utility, if not posi-
lively injurious to the general welfare of the
state, have been worked through the legisla-
ture. A commission collecting and present
ing to the legislature in digested form full
authentic and impartial information on the
subject of taxation and others of general in
terest would place an effective check upon
such methods, shorten the length of legisla
tive sessions, and remove one fruitful source
OF crude legislation. The prosperity of oul
state, moral and material, and her ability t.
maintain respectable standing among Nh
states of the Union, lies very largely in thu
work which such commission, judiciously
chosen, would have it in its power to do
This matter should be made the subject o
reflection and discussion, and receive tn
thoughtful consideration of the next legis
lature.

Hedging up the Traffic.

The bill concerning applications for liquor
licenses which has passed both branches Of
the Massachusetts, legislature provides that
applications shall be published ten days, at
least, before the licensing board takes &C.
ton thereon, in Boston in two daily papers,
in other cities and towns in such newspapers
printed therein not less frequently than once
a week as the mayor and aldermen or select
men may designate, or, If there is no such

tices shall be published on the premises de-
scribed in the application, and in two or
more places in the neighborhood where no
tees are usually posted. The notice shall
be posted on the premises described in the
application, and in two or more places in the
neighborhood where notices are usually

objection is made the license shall not be
granted. Any license granted without the
publication OF notice. or aftef objection as
above, shall be revoked upon application and
proof, by the municipal, district or police
court, or trial Justice, within whose juris
diction the premises are situated. Notice
OF the revocation shall begiven TO the licens
ing board, and the city or town shall refund
10 the licensee the sum which his licens,

A Veteran Statesman.

OF the venerable Hannibal Hamlin Of
Maine the New York Tines says He is to-
day the one most distinguished connecting
link between the great statesmen Of the past
and the present. He served in the house
with John Quincy Adams, Preston King,
Stephen A. Douglas, David Wilmot, Henry
A. Wise, Barnwell Rhett and Howell Cobb.
He served in the senate with Henry Clay,
Daniel Webster, John G. Calhoun, Thomas
H. Benton, Simon Cameron, James Blu
chanan and John j. Crittenden. Later in the
same body, and at one time or another, he sat
side by side with Seward, Fessenden, Sum-
ner, Chase, Douglas and Morton, and still
later he acted with a third generation Of
statesmen, having had intimate service
and relations with Edmunds, Conkling,
Blaine, Thurman and Bayard. Mr.. Hamlin
goes out of public life without any regrets
indeed he is well satisfied to know that his
public work is done. On the Sd of March,
as he sat for the last time in the senate, he
wrote letter to his son, General Charles
lIamlin, in which he said;
am sitting for the last day in the senate, and,
my son, am happy man. You and others may
not comprehend 1t, but | feel 1t, and in the Ian
guage of the sacred poet may say;
This ia the day long have sought"
At that moment Allen G. Thurman, the
great democratic senator, and Mr.. Hamlin's
warm friend, whose term of service expired
at the same moment, sat down beside him,
and seeing the work in which he was en-
gagged, said "Old friend, | feel just as you
do" and then on vacant page of the paper
which was before Mr.. Hamlin, the Ohio
senator wrote as follows to his friends son
My Dear Mr. Hdn,iin IL have not the pleasure
Of your acquaintance, but have known your
father for over thirty-fve years. Like him, can
say, this In the last day OF my political life, and
am rejoiced TO go out OF IL In such good company
and with my personal friend Of a generation. My
sincere wish is that you may do honor to a father
10 illustrious Truly yours, ETC.,
A. G. THURMAN
In connection with the public service of Mr..
Hamlin, it is not amiss to recall the fact that
when he first received political office the
Union was composed Of twenty-seven states
since then eleven new states have been
added, but two less than the number which
fought for and established the republic.
During his public life the population of the
country has grown from 100000 to more
than 50,000,000.

Perils Of Royalty.

A letter from st. Petersburg gives gloomy
account of the new czars life at the castle
of Gatzchina, thirty miles from the capital.
Thither several hundred artisans of the
Preobajinksy regiment were sent to make
the necessary alterations. At midnight they
assembled in the church at Gatzchina, and
were sworn secretly to silence, death or ST.
IBERIA being the penalty Of the infraction of
their oath. Ten roubles were the price Of
each mans silence. The alterations were
made in forty-eight hours. Vodki soon loos
ened the tongues of the workmen, and the
following is description of the precautions
against assassination made in the palace Of
the car A subterranean passage leads from
the czar's room to the stables, where num-
Der of horses are kept saddled and bridled
day and night. Sentines are posted at in
tervals of twenty yards all around the build
ing. The imperial bedroom has two win
dows, protected at night by massive iron
shutters, which can only be reached from
the outside by passing through three spa

eighty Cossacks armed to the teeth. They
are allowed to speak and to move about in

maintained all night. The general on duty
for the day sits in an easy chair, his Cos
sacks sitting on the divan which runs around
the whole room. At the generals right
hand is the knob of an electric apparatus,
which rings bell in every guard house
within the palace grounds. When the en-
