son until he was made collector of the
port of New 4Ork, and since then l have
known him well through his career as a
lawyer, a statesman and as the chief
magistrate of the nation. 1t is no time
now to allude to the difference of parties
or political troubles of any kind, but no
man ever came to that high office under
greater embarrassment than did PreSi-
dent Arthur His ability was not known
and there were suspicious that he was
not the man upon whom the mantle of
President Garfield should fall, but before
the close of his term his party and all
parties came to regard him as a worthy
official and a man of StateSman-likeQ quail
tiles. He left the presidential office with
the respect and regard Of the whole
country and all people now mourn his
death.
The resolution was then adopted on
the part of the House unanimously by a
rising vote. Before seating the House,
Speaker GrOut delivered himself in an
eloquent manner of this tribute to the
deceased. He said : {" Gentlemen. you
have adopted the resolution in all the
sacrednesS of memory due from the
parent to the son who bore himself
through the battle of life so gallantly as
a soldier, in so distinguished manner
as a citizen, so successfully as lawyer,
so eminently and ably as a statesman,
and so successfully as the chief executive
of our beloved country"
The resolution was Immediately taken
to the Senate, where, upon It's being
read. eulOgiZing remarks were made by
Senators Baker and Swain. The rGSOlu-
ton was adopted unanimously in con-
Currence.

TEMPERANCE EDUCATIoN.-About
five hundred were present in the Rep
resentatives' Hall at the State House,
to hear Mrs. Hunt, Of Boston, urge
upon the Legislature the duty of de-
cisive action in the temperance cause,
as proposed in bill now pending.
introduced by Speaker Circuit, Mrs.
Hunt traced the progress of the
American republic as determined by
the education of its citizens, in which
the temperance cause seeks to gain a
foothold, and remove the besetting
sin of the country. The japanese
proverb, GA man took q drink, the
drink took drink, and drink took
the man." illustrates the culminative
progress Of inebriety. The effects Of
alcoholic drinks are not sufficiently
known. The use of stimulants ag-
gravates the effect of the high pres
sure under which Americans move !;
it produces nervous DEFICIENCIES and
the loss of moral energy in coming
generations, in which the sins of the
father are visited upon the children,
and cannot be undone when we'll adj
vanced. To overcome this deep root
ed social evil, definite instruction of
the young is necessary and the efforts
of the W. G. T. U. are directed to
securing an effective organized sys-
tenn of education through legislative
action. The speaker graphically de-
tailed the success of women's work in
the legislatures of New York and
Pennsylvania, and in the national
congress, which eliminated in the
passage of laws identical with the bill
in the Senate this session.
The prominent feature of this bill is
compulsory instruction on the ''na-
ture of alcoholic drinks" the many
terrible examples of the use of which
are the strongest incentives to the
work in the face of any opposition.
The ladies of the union came back to
Vermont when such measure was
first carried, to urge its enforcement.
The measure contemplates thorough
instruction. The text books must
embody such teaching at some length,
in order to secure it proper attention
in schools of all grades under public
control. Neglect in introducing such
books as are specified, and in teach
ing them, is to be punished by the
removal of delinquents. The speak
er fifty concluded with an eloquent
plea tor the support of the bill by
those upon whom has fallen the man
tie of Ethan Allen, and whose memo
rable order the British flag first dipped
in the American revoIution.-Ver-
nOnter,

The TWO New TOWNS.

We give below description of the
two new towns, Proctor and West Rut-
land, which are to be formed mainly
from the present town of Rutland.
There will be left of Rutland town of
about 10 600 Inhabitants
West Rutland, the larger of the two
new towns-comprises about One-third
of the old town; a population of some
1000; 724 voters; and a property valua-
ton of over two million dollars. In
their report the committee said -" We
found there all the elements necessary
to make a firSt-claSS town. The town
business cannot be transacted, or the
general interests of her people be made
identical with the whole town of East
Rutland, without great Inconvenience
and expense"
The new town of Proctor has an area
of ten square miles, and a population of
] ,724, which is said to be larger than any
one of the 100 towns in the State Its
property valuation is about one million
dollars. The town is supplied with eX-
cellent church and school buildings,
a village hall and public library. The
Boston journal correspondent says -
''The present marked prosperity of the
village of Proctor is almost entirely due
entitled to be ranked as the largest mar
BILE producer in America. The Vermont
Marble Company, of which he is the
principal stakeholder and president, has
its main works and quarries at Proctor.
1t employs an army of men, many of
them skilled artisans, and its annual
output of manufactured marble is enOr-
NOUS. Governor Proctor resides here
and gives his personal supervision to
this great industry. He has built up
thrifty and prosperous community, and
the last legislature, in recognition of his
benefactiOns, passed a bill changing
Sutherland Falls village to Proctor"
1t appears that the statement that one
man owns nearly the whole of Proctor
is unfounded. Governor Proctor and
the marble company together own less
than one thousand of the five or six
thousand acres. Neither does the prin-
cipaI marble interest own all the stores
or houses but there are a good many
workmen who own their houses, and
there number of thrifty farmers in the
new town.

Action of Plaster and Salt.

In an article for the New York
Tribune, DR.. G.. G. Caldwell, of Cor
nell University, gives his views con-
corning the influence that plaster and
salt exert upon soil and its vegita-
ton during dry weather. We have
been taught to stir the soil deep
in dry weather, to enable it to absorb
moisture from the air, and to apply
plaster and salt for the same purpose,
but DR.. Caldwell says: "Too much
credit is given to the power that the
soil IS supposed to have of absorbing
moisture from the atmosphere; the
amount so absorbed is of small az
count, except when the air is very
damp, which is not its usual condition
at such times when rain is scarce.
The power residing in the plant itself
of reducing its consumption of water
is of much more account for saving it
from death by drought than any power
which the soil has of supplying it
with water by simple absorption from
the air. Some plants, can, If neces-
sary, lower the rate at which they
take up water by their roots and give
it off into the air, to one-tenth of the
usual rate, without showing, at least
for q time, any signs of suffering;
and when the supply Of water at the
roots is more liberal, they pump away
again as fast as ever.
''Some substances added to the
soil check very much the rate of ex-
haustion Of the water by vegetation
salt acts thus, and plaster appears to
be particularly effectual. Thus the
opinion common among farmers may
be accounted for, that plaster lessons
the danger of bad effects from scar
city of water. They say it absorbs
water, but this is out of the question.
All the ground plaster that is sold has
been exposed to the air for long
time before the farmer buys it, and it
has had ample time and opportunity
to absorb all the moisture it can from
that source. But lift serves to lower
the rate of evaporation of the soil water
into the air through the vegetation
growing on the soil, it is plain that it !
may to some extent serve the same |
purpose as if it did actually absorb |
water from the air to be handed over
to the plant crops, according to their
needs. 1t husbands the scanty stock |
of water in the soil, and forces the
plants to be more economical in the |
use thereof. Some experiments with
salt have shown that the soil of a |
grass plot to which this substance had |
been applied contained, ten days after
a rain had fallen, twice as much water
as did an adjoining plot which had
received no salt; and the plants on
the former plot were growing vigor-
ouslv after those on the other plot
had begun to show signs of suffering
for want Of water"
So one by one the old emotions of |
our elders get exploded by the scien-
tiic investigators, of whom there are
so many now at work in the interest |
of intelligent agricultural practice.
We are taught now to stir the soil |
only at the surface in times Of drought |
and to make a mulching of the top
inch or so, that will tend to prevent |
from the damper soil be-
low. We are very confident that we
have injured crops upon our own land
by deep and frequent cultivation in
hot. dry weather.
