The New York World has been devoting
itself of late to persistent and slanderous
misrepresentation of x-Gov. Proctor, the
new Secretary of War, attacking his bust
ness record his treatment of the workers
in his marble quarries, his style of life, and
his political methods mo community of
negro slaves in the South led such ioyless,
arduous, hopeless lives as do the white serfs
of Gov. Proctor. is one of the World S
sweeping charges, and there are columns
of stuff equally baseless and malicious.
The animus of the attack proves to lie in
the charge that Gov. Proctors success has
been achieved as mouopolist fostered and
built up by the wicked protective tariff
which, the World neglects TO say, enables
our Vermont marble quarries to be opened
and successfully operated, instead of throw
ing the whole supply into the hands of the
pauper labor of Italy. 1t is mean ad
vantage which newspaper like the World
takes when it spreads broadcast reckless
untruths and half truths like these, know

the latter, after which she went 10 reside
with her cousin, Mrs Hobrook
There are very few persons now living
who are so familiar with the events Of the
earlier times of Bratteboro and of its fam

in these matters She was gifted in Ger

BILE and very cheerful temperament, never
forebodng evil, but meeting cuurageuuslv
whatever came to her in the journey Of a
long life, she was a most agreeable com
panion and friend, highly entertaining
Withal, on account Of certain amusing pc
culiarities. When young lady she had
been a teacher of youth for a time, and be
gan early To cultivate AN Unborn taste for
literature, and for historical and quite gen
eral reading. The English literature both
prose and poetry, eXtant when she was
Young, was very familiar tn her and indel-
IDLY fixed ia her memory She kept good
pace also with the more multitudinuus
books Of later years. she was thoroughly
well informed in history generally, and
particularly with English history from its
earliest annals To the present time, carry
ing in mind facts and dates, or the chrome
logical order Of history, With much exact
ness.
She was an ardent lover of nature and
of the beautiful in landscape, and her love
Of flowers and skill in their cultivation was
marked Having never married, and nc
family Of her own and in the solitarness
inevitable, in old age especially, from alb
sence of offspring, this love of nature en-
abled her to say

Finds tongues in trees, books in the running

Sermons in stones, and good in everything
Miss Goffe had, through long life, en-
ioyed the consultations and support of a
firm and mistaken Christian faith, and she
could always give reason for that faith

From the Rutland Herald.
The policy adopted by Vermont's repre-
sentatives at Washington is not only one of
prudence, fairness, moderation and Justice,
but it is in spirit with true civil service re-
form, and must in the end prove the most
advantageous course 10 the Republican par
ty in this state that could possibly have
been taken, avoiding the dangers 10 which
the Democratic party succumbed.
