Good Sound Sense.
From Vermont Watchman. |


The Landmark and Hardwick Gazette
have suddenly discovered that young
men have no show In the Republican
party in Vermont, either for Office or for
party management, Governor Dhling-
ham and Governor Page are indeed moss
backs; Secretary of State Brownell Is
rather venerable, and Treasurer Field is
well advanced in years. w. r.. Page,
secretary of the state committee, and u
number of the state and party officials,
from the supreme bench downward, long
siace went to seed. Verify there is need
of Stanley to explore Vermont and
bring to light her young men. Now, if
either the Landmark or Gazette editor
has any kids in his trundle-bed whom he
would like to put into politics, bring
them out while the campaign is yet
young. The talk of our esteemed con-
temperate on this point is rot. The
young or middle-aged man is in the sad
die to-day in Vermont. He is found in
elective and appointive offices, and is
numerous and conspicuous in the eau
cuses and conventions of the party, and
never more so than at the present time.
He was out in force at the recent cOnven-
ton at Burlington, and figured conspic-
uously in the debates and in the elections
and appointments. Against what ghost
amidst the mists will our ratified con-
temporaries next thrust their fists?

OF Southampton, England, the Pioneer of
Modern Phnf0RranhY.

OF Southampton, England, the Pioneer of
Modern Photography.
To DIR. R. L. Maddox of Southampton,
England, the art of photography owes
it's most important step forward since
the time of Daguerre. 1t was in 1871
that he invented the gelatine plate, as
the result of experiments intended to
improve on the collodian process. His
objections to that process were manifold.
1t was costly and slow, the manufacture
of the potion was troublesome, and the
colodian vapor injuriously affected the
photographers health. He met the case
In characteristic way, not with the
submission of one who regards the evils
of an imperfect method as inevitable,
but with the spirit of an inventor, conf
dent that thought and experiment will
find way of escape. Being now infirm
and in needy circumstances, photograph
ers throughout the world are contrib
uting literally to fund for the relief Of
the inventor, who has not reaped the
fruits of his genius and the merited re-
W ard of his services to mankind.

Cruel Practices.

A writer in the Stockman enumerates
some thoughtless practices from which
farm horses suffer, which can be reme-
died by little thoughtful consideration
He says: The most cruel thing that
farmers and others do with their horses
is the practice of putting brides on them
without first thawing the bits out. Some
of the neighbors say they havn't time to
hold brides by the fire. 1 usually dip
my bits in the watering trough, which
is just as good. As soon they are wet
they will not stick to the mouth. And
some people will leave the breast straps
down when they are not holding up a
neck-yoke. Sometimes they have heavy
irons on them, which strike the horses
legs quite hard. 1 have seen farmers
pillow for weeks with breast straps hitting
the horses nearly every step they took.
Let us try to be more considerable and
thoughtful.

The Liberal ex. Premier Dangerously i'll at
Toronto, Ont.
Canadian Liberal, are about to mourn
the loss of the only premier their party
has ever given to the Dominion since it's
formation in 1867. He was leader of
the Liberal minority in the Dominion
house of commons in the early seventies
and when the Pacific Railway scandals,
in November, 1873, forced Sir John Mac
donald to resign, the Liberbal leader was
called upon to form new ministry.
parliament was dissolv ID, and in the
elections of 1864 the new government
was sustained by large majority. The
Conservatives then began their famous
campaign for Irrational policy and
higher duties upon imports. When the
Liberal parliament reached its statutory
limit and an appeal was made to the
country in August, 1873, the result was
the return of Tory majority of a hun
dred in house of 206 members. Since
his.retirement from Office the ex-premier
has resided in Toronto, Ont.

The old soldier Won Respect.

Something happened in Park Row the
other day, witnessed by several thousand
people, that was as perfect story as ever
novelist put pen to. There was drunk
en- man going along; newsbOys were taunt-
ing and deriding him in his helplessness.
Sad to relate, he was an old soldier. His
clothes were the faded blue of 81. Drunk
as a lord he reeled along, at his heels the
boys, now pulling at his coat, now throw
ing mud at him. The man was too drunk
to offer resistance. A great throng looked
at the unhappy spectacle, but no one ven
tured to assist the old soldier. HES
drunk" said one boy, 'let's smash him
Onel" "He's no good, yelled the second,
After ten minutes of such taunting
the old boy Strengthened himself
up, put his back against wall to support
himself and proceeded to roll up his sleeves,
as though going to fight. Next he rolled
up his pantaloOns. Without a word the
old man, in dumb show, pointed to his
wounds-a long cash on his left leg, evi-
IDENTIFY made in some cavalry charge; two
ugly looking places on his arms and a
broad cash. the remains of an old wound
on his breast The effect was magical
The drunken man of the moment before
became, in the eyes of the boys, hero,
and the old man felt every inch such, for
the next minute he was walking off proud
ly, his head erect, his gait steady, and the
boys offered to molest him no more.-New

Hon. Tranqulino Luna died at his
home at Peralta, Valencia county, yes
terday morning at 4 o'clock. His i'll
ness came on when in Washing
ton. d. c., and New York, on
business, at the time OF the cholera
quarantine, and fearing that he might
be detained on the supposition that he
had cholera, he did not attempt tocheck
the disease till he reached home. Since
then he had been reported better sew.
eral times, each report to be followed
next day by several relapses. The best
physicians in the territory were con-
suited over his case. but of no avail. The
deceased was q member of wealthy,
influential family of New Mexico and
was born February %. 1S49. He was a
Republican, and 10 years ago repre-
sented New Mexico in con-
gress. He came up for re-elec-
ton two years later against
Frank A. Manzanares, and owing to
alleged frauds perpetrated at the ballot
box in his county, the election was con-
tested and the Democratic house of rep
resentatives gave the seat to Manzanares.
Since that date Mr.. Luna has been
sheriff and tax collector of Valencia
county, and was one of the six delegates
from New Mexico to the Minneapolis
national convention. Over 1000 funeral
notices have been printed, and the SER
vices at Las Lunas next Tuesday will be
attended by large gathering from all

Touching California.

Things in Secretary Rusk's Report
Touching California.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-The annual
report of Secretary of Agriculture Rusk
touches upon several subjects of partic-
ular interest to California. Concerning
the division OF entomology he says an
agent of this division who was sent to
Australia in cooperation with the Cal
ifornia state board of agriculture, had
forwarded to California q very
large number of living predaceoua
insects, the most important OF
which are the enemies OF the red scale,
the black scale and the woody root louise
of the apple. Theee insects have been
received and colonized at Los Angeles
and other points in California. The
present outlook is only moderately
promising. as the newly imported in
eects do not breed as rapidly as the
vedalia cardinals which were imported
three years ago.
The special agent assigned for duty in
California has continued his investiga-
tions OF the vine disease which pre-
vailed go destructvely in the southern
part of the state during the past few
years. A report on the subject is now
ready for distribution.
Also, the agent had under investiga-
ton a number of maadies affecting
fruit, among which was the ''shor-hole"
fungus ON the almond, the souring of
fgs and the blasting and blighting of
grape flowers and fruit. The ''shot-
hole" disease of the almond has been
