Death of George II. Marsh.

Hon. George Perkins Marsh died at
Vallambrosa, Italy, July "a. This dis
tinguished scholar and diplomat who
has for twenty-One years represented
the United States as Minister to Italy,
was born at Woodstock, Vt, March Is,
1901, and was graduated ut Dartmouth
College in $50. His inclinations were
at that time to the law. and, after
studying at Burlington, he was admit
ted to the bar of his native state. In
1885 he was elected member of the
Supreme Executive Council of Yer
mont. The pursuit of pathological re-
search fascinated him, and in 1888 he
issued privately a translation of Rask's
"Icelandic Grammar" From 1912 to
lS49 Mr.. Marsh represented Vermont
in the national House of Representa-
tives, resigning i'll the latter wear to
accept the appointment of Minister
resident at COnstantinOple. In 1852
he went on special mission to Greece,
and for the next two years travelled ex-
tensively in Europe, returning to the
United States in 1854. In 1856 he pub
lished "The Camel. His organization,
Habits and Uses Considered with Ref
erence to His Introduction Into the
United States" From 1857 to 1859 he
served as Railroad Commissioner for
Vermont, and in the latter year deliv-
cred before Columbia college IA course
of thirty lectures on the English Ian
guage. These lectures were published
in 1861, in which year Mr. Marsh de-
livered second course on the same
subject before the Lowell Institute.
The lectures of the second course were
also issued i'll book form, and at about
the same time appeared a largely-an-
nOtated edition of the first volume of
WedgewOod's "EtymOlogy." In 1861
President Lincoln appointed Mr.. Marsh
Minister to Italy, which post he has
fame, not only for his scholarship, but
for his faithful performance of his pub
lie duties and his uniform courtesy to
Americans visiting the Eternal City.
During his sojourn in Rome he has
published "Man and Nature QS64.
and ''The Earth as Modified by Human
Action" QS7D, and has contributed to
numerous learned publications. Mr..
Marsh was twice married his second
wife, nee Caroline Crane, who survives
him, was born in Berkeley. Mass, Dec.
|, 1916, and is writer of merit. Prob
ably no American citizen resident
abroad has contributed more largely
and with greater wisdom to the knOwl-
edge of the world concerning America.

has caused the Italian nation is Il trib-

1872 and 1874 was directly traceable to
his habit of saying and doing little
inconsiderate and impolite things.
The opposition then became regular
craze good many politicians were
against him, who rarely took much in
terest in politics got very much excited
about the matter, and in the end bolt
elected Denison, who had hardly any
positive popularity, when Poland had
a regular nomination acknowledged to
be perfectly fair. Whatever substan-
tial considerations existed for retiring
him got but little consideration, and he
was thrown out by IA kind of tidal
wave of unpOpularity started by trities
and made formidable nobody knows
how.
The present tide in the Judges favor
is largely reaction from the old VIC
lence in the other direction, aided by
general dissatisfaction with the weak
ness of the men who succeeded him.
A great many men in the old district
who did their best against him before,
have now supported him, both with
the idea of making amends for undue
heat and to give the state a better
standing in Congress, as is shown by
the White river valley, which used to
be solid for his opponents, now send
ing nearly all its delegates to support
him.

The Deadly Toy Pistol.

1t is thought that 200 boys have died
in this country since the Fourth from
wounds inflicted on the day by toy
pistols. The injuries themselves seem
to have been generally trifling, often
mere scratches to which not the slight
est attention was paid at first, but in a
few days swelling or other trOuble APP
peared, and finally came lOckjaw and
death. LOckjaw or tetanus, is itself a
very rare disease and its appearance
in so many cases naturally eXcites a
great deal of interest among profess
siOnal men, but as yet no satisfactory
explanation of the matter has been
given. There are two kinds of pistols
sold, one using cartridge precisely
like that of an ordinary revolver eX-
cept that it has no bullet, and the 9TH
er exploding a decorating wafer with
out powder. Some think that splinters
of copper from the cartridges do the
mischief, but in view of common eX-
perience with percussion caps this
seems improbable, and a more plausi-
BILE theory is that the trouble comes
from the Illuminating mercury with
which the waters are charged. The
pistols are loosely made, the explosives
send sparks and bits of wad about
which are constantly striking the hand,
lockjaw is a nerve disease and the full
inmate of mercury is a rank poison
which affects the nerves. But, what
ever the scientific facts may be, it is
tolerably plain that toy which de-
stroys as many human lives in a single
day as are lost in a fair-sized battle
had best be put out of existence and
legislation is in order. To be sure the
trouble all comes from a barbarOus de-
sire for noise, and parents ought to
attend to toy pistols without the aid of
law, but as a matter of fact the muir
derous little machines will be made
and sold and used in spite of all warn
ings until dealing in them is associated
with a penalty. Chicago, which has
had death because of them for every
day since the Fourth, already has an
agitation for an ordinance prohibiting

Judge POIand's Nomination..

On seeing the inevitable Tuesday
evening the Springfield Republican
always opposed to Judge Poland
spoke as follows:
This nomination aud election, when
they come, will complete one of the
most curious chapters in recent Yer
mont political history. The judge likes
office pretty well, and has for the past
week or two no doubt done his best to
get this nomination, but still his can
didacy was in response to genuine
popular demand, which came about
strangely. Poland is not calculated
for a popular idol, except as his ability
may command admiration, and, in
fact, much of the opposition to him in

What shall we drink, is quite as i'm
pOrtant question as, What shall we
eat or wherewithal shall we be clothedP
1t is good to drink little, to eat little,
and to be clothed as little as the Gus
toms of society will allow. But we
must eat and drink and be clothed. and
the best advice is, "Let your modera-
ton be known unto all men," Espe-
cially in drink, all sorts of liquids are
recommended and urged upon a thirsty
people in hot weather; but tn ey are
the safest and best who rigidly adhere
to these four: milk, coffee, tea, and
water. They have had the tests of
time, the experience of chimes and
countries, and there is not a human
being, it is probable, who, in ordinary
health, will not find one or more of
these four drinks good.
BY all means abstain from stimulat-
ing and Intoxicating beverages, unless
under the advice of physician, or in
circumstances where such advice can
not be had, and the advice of inspira-
ton of good sense require a man to
judge for himself
Doubtless the use of wine, beer, CT
der, and ardent spirits disguised under
many names, is the worst habit in hot
weather. Total abstinence is the wis
est and best practice. OF all the vic
tins of death by sunstroke, the largest
part are persons who drink beer and
whiskey. Let them severely alone.
Drink milk, yea, drink it abundantly
if you can; if water is your preference,
do not take it very cold nor in large
quantities at once. Drink moderately

The Springfield Republican reports
that Col. Comins of Winnemucca, New,
has delivered to the Pres and fellows
of Middlebury College the title deeds
to the Crosse Creek Silver Mime" stu
ated in the Sierra mining district,
Humboldt county, New. The present
value of the property is fixed by the
giver ut S3O,0OO The condition upon
which the gift is made is that its pro-
ceeds shall go toward the building of a
hall of science, to he named after the
Colonel. The Republican sarcastically
adds: "If Middlebury is like other
colleges she will probably look only to
the amount of cash to be realized at
once from her mountain mint, and will
get out her prospectus and offer to the
Vermont farmers rare chance for sud-
den atiluence by speculation in Rose
Creek stock. In that case, it is in or
der to invite her corporation to visit
Western Massachusetts and learn from
the good people of Amherst just how
1t is DONE

As regards Judge Poland's candida
cy, we do not believe it is or can be
looked upon with any general degree
of favor in any part of the district.
The people have never forgotten that,
with all his ability, Judge Poland's
first thought, before every other CON
sideration, was always for himself, and
that his scheming and self-seeking
kept him from rising to the plane of
true craftsmanship to which it should
have been his pride to elevate his of
flee Brattleboro Phoenix.
The above criticism of Judge Poland
is ungenerous and unfair, if it is meant
to assert, as it seems to us it does, that
Judge Poland has been above all other
men of first rank in state politics SUI
premsly selfish. While all men, who
win much whether in politics or bust
ness, are selfish in their ardent search
for success, we do not think Judge
Poland has been exceptionally self
seeking. On the contrary, while gift
ed with unusual abilities for public life
that were early recognized in his ca
reer he was nearly, if not quite 30
years of age, before he was appointed
iIOih
served eighteen years, to the United
States Senate. Up to this time GER
tainly Judge Poland had not been in
active politics.
He served eight years in Congress,
and was only beaten for his fifth term
by fusion of Democrats with a faction
of sorehead Republicans. Judge PO-
land has never postured as a philan-
thrOpist, nor a ''snivel service reform
en-" but we fail to see what proof there
is that he has been a supremely selfish
man in politics, beyond that ordinary
Difference to self-interest that all men
manifest in all the pursuits of life. In
the sense that all men, who are part of
the breathing, working world of poll
ties and business, are selfish, we sup
pose Judge Poland has struggled to
deserve and achieve success, but this
is true of all men of any ambition who
ever accomplished anything for them
selves or others. Judge Poland has
not been a dreaming poet, or rhapso-
dizing eremite, but his selfishness has
not been such as distinguish him above
any other man of our politics past or
present. He has been selfish enough
to he self-preservative against the
temptation of frittering away his repu
tation for statesman like talents in eX-
change for the poor reputation of "a
clever fellow" who wastes his wit and
his substance on a mass of political
suckers and bummers, and casts the
pearls of his wisdom to the swine, who
think they have a right to drool out
drivel to a man of dignity and brains,
because they voted for him in caucus
or convention. We have heard this
self preventative quality called by a
great many hard names. Some call it
arrogance, egotism, imperiousness !;
some call it assuming aristOcratic airs I;
we call it common sense and self-re
spect and we wish heartily that no man
ever went to Congress who had not
sufficient dignity of character to keep
at decent distance those fellows, who
think that a Congressman is servant
of the people in the same sense that an
hOstler is the servant of the horse he
is bound to comb out his name and tail
and prepare his dinner Rutland
Herald.

GEN. n. VI. CURTIS HEAVILY FINED ON
TWO COUNTS.

charged with receiving political assess
ments from Custom House employees in
the campaign of 1881, while holding
the position of "A special agent of the
treasury department has been cOnclu-
ded 1t will be remembered that he
was convicted, some time since in the
United States circuit court. The case
was then taken to the court in banc,
composed of Judges Wallace, Benedict
and Brown, on the motion for a new
trial and in arrest of Judgment,
and it was decided adversely to Gen.
Curtis. Sentence was passed on
Thursday. Judge Benedict, in senten-
cling Gen. Curtis, said: "You have
been found guilty on two counts, the
first and eighth in the indictment,
charging you with receiving money
from employees of the government in
violation of the law. | sentence You
to pay a fine of $500 on the first count,
and fine of $500 on the eighth, alto
gether a fine of $1,000, and to stand
committed until the same is paid"
The opinion accompanying the de-
cisiOn on the motion for a new trial
and arrest of judgment stated briefly
that upon the questions of the cOnstitu
tionality of the law on which General
Curtis was convicted the judges who
heard the argument in behalf of the
defendant are unanimously of the Opin
ion that the statute was valid and that
the court believes that Congress has
the power to enact all needful regula-
lions calculated to discipline officials

The Canadian Charley Ross
Case.

The persons who stole little Arthur
Smith from his fathers house in Mon
treal Monday evening were evidently
frightened out of their scheme when
the parents made no move toward pay
ing the demanded ransom, and placed
the detectives all over the country on
the watch. So three years-Old Arthur
was left on Il door stone, and finally
returned to the arms of his frightened
mother. The abduction rivalled in
holiness the stealing of Charlie Ross.
ATthur's room was reached through Il
rear window, against which the thieves
had placed a long ladder. To secure
the child, who was sleeping quietly in
his cot sometime between Z and $50
o'clock, the thieves had to pass through
the nursery into an adjoining room,
walking by the door i'll full view of
Mrs. Smith and her mother, who were
sitting on lounge in room across
the hall. There was no noise, the
child made no cutlery, and even a dog
which lay asleep near Arthur's cot was
not awakened till Mrs. Smith discov-
cred her loss and reused the house
hold. On the little boys pillow was
lOuHu 81 lcIJcI duulCSseu W Ills ldblleI,
which read, eve have got your child
all o. X, and if yOu ever want to lay
your eyes on it again you must hand
over El0,0O0 i'll gold" The letter fur
ther said that if any attempt to ferret
out the robbers was made they would
not hesitate to 'make mince- meat of
the boy. When the father is ready to
deliver the money, says the letter, he
has only to advertise in the Star, pay
the cash and recover his boy. "Suspi
cious" persons, as usual, have been
seen, but the thieves seem to have COW
cred their tracks effectively. The
ground of the abduction, according to
the letter, was to pay off an old score
against the child's grandfather, which
is certainly a novel way to vengeance.
