The trustees of the new Vermont state
asylum at Waterbury have chosen Dr. w.
II. Sylvester of the asylum for the chronic
insane at Willard, N Y, to be the super
intendent of the new institution. 1t is
stated that Dr. Sylvester has had ten years
experience as an assistant physician at Will
lard He is native of this state, born in
Bethel, which is probably leading reason
for his selection. The fact of his choice
appears to have been kept a secret by the
state authorities and it was left for the
Asylum Record, little paper printed at
the New Hampshire asylum, to make the
appointment public.

While the Democratic papers, for party
effect, are ringing the changes on the
wicked and corrupt force bill which the
Republicans attempted to thrust upon the
country" let it be remembered that the
elections bill which was defeated by united
Democratic opposition, aided by few re-
creant Republicans, was a measure apply
ing equally to every part of the country,
and that it was 'force" bill just as the
law against murder is a force law to
murderers, and as the law against stealing
is force" law to thieves-and in no other
sense whatever.

Laredo, Tex, January 2s. - Some
time ago an embryo revolution against
Mexico was started In this city, with
General Ruis Sandoval, refugee from
Mexico, as principle leader, aided d.
rectly andindirectly by other prominent
aliens living in Laredo. When Sando-
val was arrested among others who
aided him were Mr.. Romute Zardenotta,
o prominent merchant In this city, and
DIR. Ignace Martinez, who Is practic'
ing physician here, and also edits o
newspaper called FL Mundo, which Is
bitterly opposed 10 the Mexican gov
ernment. Since that time the revolu-
zionist leader Sandoyal and his sympa-
thizers have had trouble between them
selves. In which DR.. Martinez and Mr..
Zardenotta have apparently been ar
raigned against each other. Sunday
night the doctor was riding along the
streets In his buggy when he met or
passed Mr.. Zardenotta, and taking out
his buggy whip, struck the latter two
or three times. The result has been
several suits against the doctor for mis-
demeanors, and an affidavit made by
Zardenotta that he had reason TO be-
lieve that DIR. Martinez intended TO
murder him, for which the doctor was
placed under 81 900 peace bond to-day
Notwithstanding this the end Is yet TO
come and trouble Is looked for.

thief has been discovered in an enex.
pected quarter. His name Is 20 be sur
pressed for a few days, but II viii soon
be made public. The facts In the case
are these: A young, good looking detect
i've was detailed 10 work upon the case
through the daughter Of the thief She
is said 70 be an active young lady, and
the detective made love 10 her. He es.
oorted her TO parties and 10 theaters,
and not long since invited her 10 a very
swell party, and told the lady that as Il
would be a fashionable affair he would
like 10 have her wear her best clothe.
end jewelry. She appeared on the
night Of the party bedecked with the
diamonds which had been taken from
the victims OF the disaster. The de
tective expressed much admiration foi
the jewels. and In the evening inquired
the cost OF the diamonds The lady did
not know and said they were a gift from
her father. This and other information
furnished BY the unslspecting girl, led
10 the arrest OF her father, and the
whole affair will soon be made public
The suspected man is a well-known res
