Charles j. Pardee. Dean of the medical
college of the University of the college of
the city of New York. testified that Prof
Darling was mau ofposltive convictions,
and not easily influenced. Prof. Darling
lived in the college, and was regarded as Il
single man. He had his peculiarities, but
was always consistent. He had never
seen Mrs. DelacrOiN until the afternoon of
the day of his death. The witness and
others were in the professors room when
she called. Mrs. DeacroiX told them that
she was the daughter of an old personal
friend of Prof. Darling, and showed Il bun
die of letters sent to her by the professor.
After reading them the witness and DR..
Stinson permitted her to take the remains
to Yonkers.
Dr. John NJ. Carnochan testified that he
had never heard the professor speak of his
family except that he said he had in uncle
in the navy. Mr.. Lefferts's counsel eXhib-
tied a letter from GOV. Hill, stating that
William Darling, the convict, had been
restored to citizenship in 1866, the year in
which Prof. Darling reappeared in New
York. They hoped to show the identity
of the professor and the convict. The
surrogate SAID he had hoped to close the
case that day, but in view of the import
ance of the evidence he would allow coun
sci for Mrs Leilerts another day. The
hearing was adjourned to Monday next

The True Plan of
INSURANCE.

The losses co per cent less by insuring in
HOME COMPANIES, II few years since the
foreign stock companies Withdrew from the
state of New Hampshire, and Home Mutual
Companies were organized in their place.
Since that time the Insurance of the State
has been carried by "a Home Mutuas, and
other Home Companies, aud the Insurance
commissioner reports the losses 30 per cent
less than for like Period before. Now with
the daily record OF incendiary fires, for gain,
before us, can we avoid the inference that
the large amounts placed on property, by the
foreign stock companies dor the sake of the
Premium is the main cause of this difference.
And if this is true in New Hampshire, why
not in Vermont And if 80 per cent is saved
by the prudent plan of writing adopted by
the Mutuals, and if the cost also is Si29j2 less
on every 100000 for six years, las has been
proved. 10y insurirg in Il company organized
by the people for the people, is not this
the true plan of Insurance for the people of
Vermont as well as New Hampshire. A. ID.
FRANCISCO, while thankful for the very lih-
eral patronage already received from the
friends and patrons of the old Mutual will

Platform of Liquor Manufacturers.

The national convention OF liquor man
ufacturers at Chicago, adopted a report
providing that the association shall be
known as The National Protective AS
sociation," and that it shall be directed bya
national committee Of one representa-
tive from each state. OF this number
an executive committee of seven is to be
appointed to actively conduct the work oil
the association. The officers elected are:
President, j. NJ. Atherton, Kentucky; vice
president, William Lamper, st. Louis; sec
retary j. d. Pratt, Kentucky.
The resolutions adopted declare:
We most earnestly favor temperance
and most strongly condemn intemperance,
and appeal to every member of the trade
to make proof of this declaration by his
daily life and daily conduct Of his business.
The resolutions further declare in favor
OF both public and private morality and
good order and popular educat ton. They
unalterably oppose prohibition as an in
vasion OF the right Of citizens and there
fore wrong in principle and impractical
BILE in policy. Instead of attempting to
destroy business that employs immense
capital and supports vast number OF
honest workmen. the efforts of our enemies
should be directed to eliminating the evils
existing in and resulting from the abuse Of
liquors. In this work we would unite. The
closing resolution is in favor OF 'abs olute

ton, except in such places and at such

tect ourselves and our business against

Great Chicago Strike Ended.

The strike OF the Chicago packing house
workmen is formally ended. The strikers
held IL mass meeting on the 18th, atwhieh
between II 900 and IA, 600 men were pres
emit. A proposition to return to work on
the ten hour plan was carried almost unani-
mously and the strike wcs declared at an
end. Shortly aiterwarl MIR. Barry, the
Knight OF Labor delegate, waited on Mr..
Armour and said the strike was at an end
and that the men would return to work
without making any conditions. The pack
inghouse owners will keep all of their new
men, and by running the houses up to their
full capacity expect to be able to retain in
their employ nearly all their old men.
Two members of the executive board OF
District Assembly 81 said there would be
no trouble about the non-union men. If
they were put to work in the houses with
the union men it would not be long before
they would quit OF their own accord, as
things would be made pretty hot for them.
Some time after the strike had been de-
clarcd at an end the announcement was
made that tho packers had adopted u

Our Wedding Trim.

Our wedding, dear Johns and mine.
At last, at last had come;
When we as two should cease to be.
And love and live as one.
How eagerly we talked about
The places where we'd go.
All maiden fear was lulled to rest,
We loved each other so.
The words were said that made us one
We wept our last good-bys,
Ger summer seas we sailed and sailed
To lands with blues skies
Where AMOS waters swiftly slip
Meath Ponte Vecchio's stones:
Where Santa Croce's marble saints
Watch DER her honored bones
Where gieam the gems of art divine
On church and palace walls;
Where on the ear the Sistine chant
Like seraph music falls
Across fair Naples azure bav,
Where Capri's smiling shore
Woos those who love to feast for ave,
Never to wander more
Through all that land of art and song,
Where love holes sway supreme
We roamed and quatfed lfe's richest draugbn
And lived as in q dream.
Was this indeed onr wedding trip.
No Only what we talked
We went from mothers house to Johns,
And John and | both walked
