Mr.. Morrill, of this state has introduced in
the Senate a national educational bill, with
provisions like those of the Burnside bill

the interest of which, at per cent per an
mum, shall be distributed among the several
states and territories, two-thirds for the ben

THE AsHUELoT HOUSE AND STABLES BURNED
AND OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGED ARREST OF
THE SUPPOSED NcENDIARY.
H. NJ. States hotel and barns were burn
ed 20 the ground last Friday night, part on
ly Of the hotel front being left standing in
ruined state. Most of the furniture was saw
ed. The valuable horse pathfinder" was
burned, and or carriages also. The fire
began in the back part of one of the barns.
The property was insured for $4,000. Mr..
Geo. w. Hollands store and dwelling house
and barn stood within about feet of the no.
tel. His barn was burned and q portion OF
the back part of the store. Mr.. Holland was
insured. He got the most of his goods out IN
a damaged condition. The Baptist meeting
house sheds stood very near to Mr.. States
barn and were burned clean to the ground.
No insurance on them. Several other build
ings near by took FIRE on the roofs but we're
soon put out. There were three engines at
the IRE from Winchesler-one from the cen
tire and two from Ashuelot-which did good
service. Geo. @. Fisk's hydrant ut his paper
mill played two good streams; Halle a
Frost's hydrant played a powerful stream and
our hand machine did excellent service. Al
one time there were seven good streams oil
water played upon the fire. The tin roof on
the hotel was a great hindraDce in getting the
water on to the ire II is hard telling what
the total damage will prove to be, but prob
ably from $40, 900 to $12, 1000. Mr.. Holland
has moved part of his goods back into his
store and the rest into room in the town
hall building. He viii supply his customers
with goods the best he can under the circum'
stances. A young man by the name of Dayen'
port has been arrested for burning the build
ings, and shaving his examination as we write
Davenport was someWhAt intoxicated on the
evening before the fire and was put out OF the
hotel late in the evening, He lives about q
mile and half from the village on the Ohes'
terrified road and was employed by o. H.
Higgins.
Ldter.-Dayenport's examination was con-
oluded Wednesday night, the defence not put
ting in any evidence. 1t was shown that tue
prisoner made repeated threats To burn the

Sixteen of the experts called in the Guiteau
case, several of them for the defence, are re-
ported to have compared notes and agreed
that the criminal is not insane, but that
his case is a very clearly defined one of what
U. S. Attorney Corkhill has expressively call
ed "devilish depravity." These experts say,
as reported, that Guiteau's ancestry is no
worse than that of many reputable and law
abiding people, that his boyhood was normal,
sane and humane, and that as he grew older
he disclosed a growing tendency to lead any
thing but an honest life, and that gross sell
fishness, passion and ambition, all on low
plane, became the guiding motives of his life.
The physiological signs of insanity are not
apparent and the workings of his mind, as
shown by his plans and testimony, are not
held to favor the theory of the defence.

assume his duties in New York, January 2, as
president of the new Lincoln national bank,
which will on that date be opened for bust

In q Nutshell.

While it has been abundantly proved that
Guiteau has totally depraved nature and a
uniformed mind, the popular impression has
been deepened by the evidence that he was as
much responsible for his acts as any depraved
criminal. The facts in regard to his career
are much more damaging than had been sup
posed and the theory of heredity is not es-
tablished. The result of the trial is pretty
certain to be verdict of guilty or a disagree

Bills for the admission into the Union of

Bills for the admission into the Union of
two new states have already been introduced
in the Senate. Mr.. ingalls, of Kansas pro-
poses the admission of the state of New Mex
leo with boundaries identical with those of
the present territory of that name. Senator
Window has introduced bill providing for
the admission of Dakota with boundaries in
Guiding all of the present territory of Dakota
south of the 46th parallel of north latitude
thus dividing the territory into two nearly
equal portions as regards area. The passage
of this bill will be strongly urged, and it will
doubtless lead to prolonged aud interesting
struggle. Senator Saunders has also intro
duced similar bill, and bills have been in
troduced for the formation of a new territory
out of that portion of the present territory of
Dakota not included in the proposed new
state.

The Boy Of the Period.
From Mary A. Livermore's Lowell Addr.

From Mary A. Livermores Lowell Address.
The boy of to- day is not receiving
the proper home culture. Children
slip away from parental care. This
is due to the rigorous old-tim home
culture. Education must be inulca-
ted by the mother. In Wales, Eng
land, the character of the mother is
inquired for as Recommendation for
the son. The average boy, noisy,
impetuous, detesting home work,
bankrupt in education and a dodger
OF churches and other pious places,
yet has fathomless tender
ness for his mother, but lie
wants no spectator. He is character
lied by passionate loyalty to what
ever he espouses, and high sense
of honor to which appeal can safely
be made in most cases. One thing
in his teaching is superintendent
purity. Let the mother inculcate
this with loving care, putting
aside false notions of modesty
and all prudishness. Let us have
done with the belief in the saying,
I" Wild oats must some time be
sowed. He who thus sows inevita
bly,, reaps similar harvest. Every
boy should be trained to respect
womanhood. Nothing so much
adorns American manhood as his
respect for woman. The boy should
be trained in politeness. This has
commercial value nowadays. He
makes his way in the world more
easily for pleasing address. There
is no reason why the boy of to-day
should not be taught the ordinary
rules OF etiquette. Good manners
are to man what beauty is to a
woman. But best Of all, train boys
in honor in integrity and trustworth.
mess. Every boy should have an in.
dustrial occupation, and this should
be in hormony with his tastes. So
with girls. To sum it all UP, train
the boy into manliness, that stan
dard of manliness that combines the
strngest virtues with the gentlest
weakness. Let him be like hand OF
iron. in glove OF velvet. There il
nothing higher or nobler than this,

THE SOUTH AND THE CABINET.

There are a goodly number of
Southern men who would make able,
faithful, honest and efficient Cabinet
officers. Some of them are natiee
Union men, some of them Northern
men have resided in the South for
years, some of them were gallant
Union soldiers and some of them
are ex>Confederates. In making up
his Cabinet the President will make
a mistake if he does not fill at least
one, if not two places from the class
of which we have spoken. We con-
TESS that we would rather have one
from the ranks of those who resided
in the South before the late war;
one of those who stood true to
the flag of the Union when the
storm of secession swept over the
land; who knows by personal expe-
rience what it cost to be a Union
man and true to the Government.
This is our decided preference. But
we have no prejudice in the matter
and would be satisfied with men from
either class. There are men Of
Northern birth who have settled In
the South since the war, and there
are ex-Confederate who are now
true Republicans, who would do
honor to themselves, their section,
their country and the administration,
in Cabinet position. If President
Arthur wants a Southern representa-
tive or representatives in his Cab
inet, he need not be at loss for
men of integrity, ability, high char
acter and experience in public
affairs. They can be easily found.
But we do not believe he will ever
find them through the representa-
tons Of a few so-called Southern
Republicans who are now in Wash~
ton, who have constituted themselves
a committee to instruct the Presi>
dent in this matter, and who assume
to represent the Republican voters
Of the South. There are too many
adventurers among them, who have
no other motive than that inspired
by the loaves and fishes. They are
not representative men. Their rep
reservations are based on selhshness
and ignorance, and their exploits
must be as annoying to the President
as they are Notifying and disgust~
ing to the great body of Southern
Republicans.
4 man who is fit to be Cabi
net officer will not go to Wash
ington and work for it, as would the
average candidate for petty ward
or district office We believe Presi-
dent Arthuris too good Judge Of
men to be deceived by those who are
at Washington wrangling with each
other about a matter in which they
should exercise no influence. They
are entitled, either by reason of
brains or character, to be heard,
and their suggestions should
weigh no more than the chattering
! of so many monkeys. If the Presi-
t dent wants a Cabinet officer or more
than one from the South, we are
sure he will not take them from the
ranks of those who are now there,
and who, from the reports in the
newspapers, appear to be trying to
! force themselves upon him.
