us from Chicopee Falls that Mr.. Albert
Guenther, under Wild's hotel, has used
that remarkable remedy, st. Jacobs Oil,
for a severe case of rheumatism and it
cured him, as if by magic. He also
used it with great success among his
horses in cases of spains, sores, ETC.,
and it cures every time.

Professor Proctor closes his lecture
on "The Star Depths" with the follow
ing quotation from Jean Paul Frieder-
ich Richter:
God called up man into the vesti-
bule of heaven, sayingi "Uome thou
hither and see the glory Of My house."
And TO the servants that stood around
His throne He said: "Take him and
undress him from the robes of flesh,
cleanse his vision and put new breath
into his nostrils; only touch not with
any change his human heart the heart
that weeps and trembles." 1t was done,
and with mighty angel for his guide,
the man stood ready for his infinite
voyage; and from the terraces of heaven.
without sound or farewell, at once they
wheeled into endless space. Some.
times, with solemn fight of angel wing,
they fed through saharas of darkness,
trough wildernesses of death that
divided the worlds of life; sometimes
they swept along frontiers that were
quickening under prophetic motion
Then from a distance that is counted
only in heaven, light dawned for time
through a sleepy film by unutterable
pace the light swept to them, they, by
unutterable pace, to the light, In a
moment the rushing of planets was
upon them in q moment the blazing
of suns was around them. Then came
eternities of twilight that revealed, but
were not revealed. On the right hand
and the left lowered mighty constella-
tions, that by self-repetitions and an
swers from afar; that by counter posi-
tions built up triumphal gates, whose
architraves, whose archways-horizon-
tai, upright-rested, rose, at altitude
by spans that seemed ghostly from in
finitude. Without measure were the
architraves, past number were the arch
ways, beyond memory the gates. With
in were stairs that scaled the eternities
below; above was below-below was
above to the man stripped of gravitating
body-depth was swallowed upin height
unsurmountable, height was swallowed
up in depth unfathomable. Suddenly,
as they thus rode from infinite to in
tinite-suddenly, as they thus tilted
over abysmal worlds-a mighty cry
arose, that systems more mysterious
that consultations more glorious, that
worlds more billowy, other heights and
other depths, were coming, were nearly,
were at hand
Then the man sighed and stopped,
shuddered and wept. His overburdened
heart uttered itself in tears, and he
said: CANCEL, L will go no further
For the spirit of man acheth with this
ininity. Insufferable is the glory of
the universe. Let me lie down in the
grave and hide myself from the perse-
cution of the infinite; for end there is
none" And from all the listening stars
that shone around issued a choral
voice: "The man speaks truly; end
there is none, that even yet we have
heard of. End there is nonew The
angel solemnly demanded: "Is there
indeed no end, and is this the sorrow
that kills you?' But no voice answered,
that he may answer himself. Then the
angel throws up his glorious hands
toward the heaven of heavens, saying:
END there is none in the universe of
God. Lo also there was no beginning"

Court Expenses.

In his message to the legislature in 1878,
Governor Proctor called the attention of
that body sharply to the alarming increase
of court expenses in this state. A commits.
sion consisting of Hon. w. G. Veazey and
the late Hon. G. w. Willard was appointed
to investigate the causes of the increase
and report remedial measures. The decease
of Mr.. Willard before the commission en-
tered upon its work deprived the state of
his services, and threw the burden upon
Judge Veazey. This service was very eff
GENTLY performed by him, and his report to
the legislature at its late session formed the
basis of corrective measure introduced
and strongly supported by Hon. b. F. FL
field of Montpelier. This bill became a
law. Under the operation of its provisions

July 81, 1881, shows the following very sug-
gestive and very satisfactory results

UGLY RUMoR'-Stories of attempted as
sassinations which escaped notice are com
ing up now in all directions. The Cleve-
land Leader tells one, the intended victims
being Representatives Hoar and Garfield,
the republican members of the house of
representatives on the electoral commission.
The story is that conspiracy was formed
in New York TO assassinate one or both of
those gentlemen, in the belief that if they
could be put out of the way, the house, be-
ing democratic, would not probably elect
another republican to fill the vacancy, and
the commission would then decide in Til
den's favor. The chief of police at Wash
ington learned OF the plot, and discovered
that 1t had its origin in New York, and that
no members OF congress were concerned in
it. There was no evidence TO warrant an
arrest, but 1t was thought prudent to pro.
vide guard for the imperiled members.
Representative Thorp of Ohio and two other
friends assumed the duty of protecting the
two commissioners. No attack was made
upon them, though at one time several sus,
picious persons were seen advancing toward
them as they entered their carriage after
the adjournment OF night session of the
commission,

The PUBLIC DEBT.-Information from
Washington states that the reduction in the
debt for the first month of the fiscal year
July, 1SS1--was over sl0,0O0,0OO, against
s5,60O,00O for July, 1880. 1t is added, by
way Of explanation, that this large excess Of
surplus revenue over that for July of last
year, is attributable entirely to reduction
Of expenditures. In the interest-bearing
debt there is reduction of $lS,500,0O0,
being the amount of six per cent bonds re.
deemed under Secretary WINDOWS admra.
BILE plan of converting this class of bonds
into bonds bearing three and one-half per
cent The total amount of bonds at six per
cent continued at three and one-half per cent
is S17S,055,150. A republican administra-
ton that is reducing the public debt at the
rate of $l0,000,000 month is an admins.
tration that stands in little need of putting.
All the democratic addresses and platforms
and campaign documents that ever were is
sued fail to make any Roadway against such
figures. Figures never lie. Democratic va.
porting about Capitalization and " strong
government and "Ce,arism are too
vague to impress the masses. But the SIM
pie unadorned statement-he public debt was
reduced SIC, 100000 during The month of july,

Railroad Appraisals.

We have stated that the grand list figures,
given in the next column, includes railroad
appraisals. This statement needs some
qualification. On investigation, it appears
that the towns of Brattleboro and Dunn
merston, on the line of the Brattleboro and
Whitehall railroad, failed to return to the
secretary of state the appraisal of that road.
1t appears also, that all the towns on the
line of the Burlington & Lamoille railway
failed to return the appraisal of that road,
the attorney of the company notifying the
listers of the towns in question that the road
was not taxable from the fact that whatever
right it may have acquired by virtue of GER
tain acts passed by the legislature of 1874
and 1876, exempting railroads from taxa
tion for specific periods from the time when
they commenced running regular trains for
public traffic or accommodation, could not
be taken away under the operation of act
No. so, of 1880. The sixth section of the
latter act expressly repeats the acts of
1874 and 1876, behind which this road now
seeks shelter from taxation. 1t is claimed
that the relation which the road sustains ia
the requirements of the law is in the nature
OF contract, implied, if not real, which the
state cannot repudiate, even though it re-
peal the law. 1t is claimed in opposition
to the position assumed by this road that
the state can, by the repeal of the law, abro
gate the privileges conferred by it, and VIZ
understand that many of the best LAWYERS
in the state take this view Of the matter
