GEN. A. E. BURNSIDE, Senator from
Rhode Island, died suddenly Of spasms Of
the heart at his home in Bristol, Tuesday
morning. As a General in the late war,
Burnside was not a success. In fact, his
numerous failures finally secured for him
a leave Of absence, and he was not sgain
recalled to active service. As politician,
however, he gained more victories than as
4 warrior. lie was three times elected
Governor Of Rhode Island, and in 1875 was
chosen U. 5. Senator to succeed Governor
sprague, and reelected in 1881. His
term Of Office would not have expired till
March 3, 1887. His death reduces for time
the Republican majority in the Senate and
makes it Democratic by a vote Of two.
In his younger days, Gen. Burnside was
very particular in the way he wore his
whiskers, 20 much so that his especial cut
has ever since been known as "Burnsides."

J. II. JACKSON, the colored Elector for
the State at-large,spoke here Tuesday night
lie was pretty severe on the State Of Ken
lucky for making the colored man pay a
dollar more tax than white man, and then
not give him "a much school money, and for
not putting negroes on the juries. The only
way to obtain their rights, he said, was by
. suit brought sgainst the State in the
U. 3. Court. We agree with Jackson that
the State owes the colored race more edu-
cational facilities than she has given them,
but, as Colonel Hill, who was called on for
a speech said, Federal Court suit is not
the way to obtain them. The Colonel
gave the crowd some excellent advice, and
was followed by ". II. Miller, E.q, who
scored it into Jackson on the jury business.
He said that no true man wanted to serve
on jury; that il was duty not priv.
leee, and warned the colored people to take
some other course than that urged by Jack
son, to secure what they deemed their
rights.

As USUAL on the last Of the week, a new
complication in the Presidents case was
supposed have been developed last Satur-
day. II was given out that the blood
poisoning that had affected the paiotid
gland, but which had about reesined il, nor
NAL appearance, had affected the lungs, and
that the symptom was the worst that had
occurred. The news created much alarm
and anxiety, but when Wednesday, dsilies
came head.lined with the glorious intelli.
gence that the President had been able to
sit up in chair a short time the previous
day and converse with the Postmaster
General about the Star Route trials and
other matters, depression gave way to Joy
and hope, which springs eternal in the
human breast, took the place Of despair
That the move to Long Branch has been

We presume that In the exuberance OF
our feelings We may be permitted TO remark
that the backbone of a most disastrous
drought Il NJ last broken. For more than
two months the dry earth has been parch'
ed by heat almos, unprecedented for 10
great a time, and the crops which promised
80 we'll have been reduced TO comparative
failures. The results in this vicinity are
that the late vegetables were entirely
ruined; grass was cut short, and Of a conse-
quence stock suffered and were reduced in
weight; the corn crop will fall short OF
half a yield, and the fruit, not sufficiently
nourished TO msture. has fallen to the
ground, tasteless and worthless. Fires
have done much damage in localities, and
the scarcity Of water, both tot stock and
drinking purposes, has caused much
expense and trouble, but Notwithstanding
all these Affections our future Is not hall
80 dark a. il might be. The rains have
come in time to bring out the grass wonder
fully, and, with the largest crop Of hay
ever harvested here, raisers will be able to
winter their stock with but little inconve-
nience. There IL good deal Of old corn
in the country and enough wheat for
bread, and we guarantee that everybody
who will work will find plenty to eat and
obtain money enough to supply the Other

Arrested for Cruelty to His Child.

The papers have recently published
the remarkable facts in the case OF
Charles L. Crawford of New York, who
was imposed upon by his servant girl,
Mary Dooley, to believe that his ~
years old daughter was guilty of steal
ing articles which the servant herself
had appropriated, and chained and
cruelty beat the child to cure her sup
posed vicious propensties. The Opin-
ion that father who would thus treat
his own child was little less worthy of
scOrn and contempt than the servant
who could calmly see the abuse of a
little girl for crimes which she herself
had committed, has gained ground ever
since the case was reported, and the
affair has caused such a stir in New
York that the society for the preven-
tion of cruelty to children has interpOs-
ed and caused the arrest of the unnatu-
raj father. The charge is of cruelty to
his child, and of being an improper
person to have charge of her, and pend
ing his examination the society has
charge of the child. She seemed glad to
be taken from home, and when told OF
her fathers arrest manifested no anXi-
ETY. as to what would become of him
which is not remarkable under the cir
cumStahces.

An Interesting Group of Planets.

The planets Venus, Jupiter and Sat
urn now form an interesting group in
the southwestern sky soon after sunset
Though the smallest of the three, We
nus is clearly far more brilliant than
the giant Jupiter, which she is rapidly
approaching, while the contrast with
the duII-hued Saturn-the upper left
hand member of the grOup-is still
more marked. Jupiter is also slowly
drawing nearer the ringed planet,
which it will Overtake on April -. but
their conjunction will not be visible,
since both planets will then be lost in
the greater glory of the sun. The con-
junction of Jupiter and Saturn takes
place once i'll about every twenty years,
but 1t is more than a century since We
nus formed with them such an attrac-
tive group as is now visible. Venus is
in conjunction with Jupiter on the 2lst
inst. and with Saturn on March |, pass
ing north of both but much nearer the
former than the latter. In the tele-
scope Venus now has the appearance of
a half moon. During the next two
months her illuminated disc will de
minish day by day till the planet APP
pears llhG IL lulu SilN CT CIGSCtuJ Ol udL-
zling whiteness, and finally fades away
ut her inferior conjunction with the
sun on May 3. As a telescope object
Venus will, therefore, grow in attrac-
tiveness during March and April. In
fact, the less that is seen of her the
more beautiful she becomes. She at
tains her greatest brilliancy on March
27, although less than third of her
Illuminated surface is then turned
toward the earth.-NetC York Tribune.

The Taxation Question.

Is THE NEW LAW CONSTITUTIONAL
HAVE THE LISTERS THE RIGHT TO
DOUBLE THE TAXA NEW VIEW OF
THE QUESTION.
Article 9 of the declaration of the
rights of the inhabitants of the state of
Vermont in the constitution of the state
provides, "That every member of soci-
ty hath right to he protected in the
enjoyment of life, liberty and property,
and therefore is bound to contribute
his proportion toward the expense of
that protection" &c.
Now it seems to me the clear intent
and meaning of this clause in reference
''to contributing his proportion toward
the expense of that protection" is, that
all taxes shall be assessed equally,
that is, that each individuals property,
his actual property, shall bear its pro-
portiOnate or equal share with all
other property in the state which is
taxable, for the support aud mainte-
nance OF the government. In other
words that all persons shall be taxed
alike and in equal proportion, their re-
spective property being the basis OF
taxation. Hence does it not follow
that any law which proposes to assess
taxes upon a different basis, or upon
an unequal basis, is unconstitutional
and void 3? | apprehend that law
which should tax the inhabitants of st.
Adams upon the actual value of theil
property and the inhabitants of GeOrgia
upon double its value, would be uncOn,

If I Only Had Capital.

"If l only had capital" we heard a
young mau say, as he puffed away at a
ten cent cigar, 81 would do some
thing"
eff | only had capital" said another,
as he walked away fIOm a m-shop,
where he had just paid ten cents for a
drink, Il would go into business"
The same remark might have been
heard from the young man loafng on
the street corner. Young man with the
cigar, you are smoking away your cap
ital. You from the dram shop are
drinking away yours, and destroying
your body at the same time and you
upon the street corner are wasting yours
in idleness, and forming bad habits.
Dimes make dollars. Time is money.
Don't wait for IA fortune to begin with.
If you had $4,000 year and spent it
all, you would be poor still. Our men
of power and influence did not start
with fortunes. You, too, can make
your mark if you will. But you must
stop spending yOnr money for what you
don't need, and squandering your time
in idleness.-F Frchdnge.
