An italian Heroine.

This despatch from Florence, Italy, is of
interest when read in connection with
Prof. Walkers paper on "The Rise of Mod
ern Italy" The people of Milan few
days ago mourned the death of a woman
who was once known as 'ltaly's bravest
daughter" The title, given to her almost
half century ago-in the stormy days of
1S4S-was won by acts as heroic and daring
as those performed by any man. To the
day of her death no name had more inspir-
ing effect upon the surviving leaders of the
revolution than that of Signora Da Nova,
and their stories of her bravery were un-
ending. Signora Da Nova first came into
prominence on March 1S, 1S4S. 1t was the
day, as readers of Italian history may re-
member, that Count Radetsky entered
Milan and occupied the citadel. The fort
ress was stormed by the populace soon
afterwaTd. Among the leaders of the an
CRY masses who rushed on to victory was
Signora da Nova, who, musket in hand,
fought at the side of her husband, giving
cheer and encouragement to her comrades.
Along the barricades which the people
built the beautiful woman acted as guard
at times, and then, clad in the garb of a
Sister of Mercy, helped to gather up the
sick and wounded and take them to homes
where they were nursed.
The success which came to the Milanese
on March % filled the Signora with de-
sire to help her countrymen in other parts
of Italy. And when her husband started
for Venice, where the revolution had
broken out, she insisted upon accompany
ing him, and carried out her plan. Again
wearing the uniform of soldier, she took
an active part in besieging the arsenal.
Her bravest act, however, and that which
made her the heroine of the fighting masses,
was the carrying of dispatches to Padua.
She successfully went through the enemy's
lines, making countless narrow escapes,
and returned to Venice to give an account
of her mission to the provisional govern
ment, then stationed in the city of Doges.
HonOrs have been paid to the brave Sig
nora in great numbers since those days of
her bravery and peril. She was only 6S
years old at the time of her death. Her
funeral will long be memorable in the an
nails of Milan.

Hawaii Knocks at our Doors.

The excitement of the week, though
rather a mild one, has been the announce
ment, made on the arrival of the news by
steamer at San Francisco last Saturday,
that a revolution has taken place in the
Sandwich Islands, the queen has been de-
posed, provisional government has been
established, and a commission has been
sent to this country with petition asking
for the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands
to the United States. The revolution was
accomplished quietly and without the loss
of single life. The trouble began the
middle of January, when the queen tried
to get the cabinet to sign a new constitu-
tion disfranchising all foreigners and put
ting the government entirely into the
hands of the native politicians. The min
isters refused, and when threatened by the
queen fed for their lives. They returned
later and induced the queen to postpone
the coup. There was a public meeting
in front of the palace. The queen an
nounced the failure of her plans, and
native orator demanded the lives of the
ministers. Early in the evening citizens
met and formed committee of public
safety. The next day, in answer to the re-
quest of the American minister, 300 men
were landed from the United States steam
ship Boston to keep the peace and protect
American interests. In the meantime the
committee of safety had formulated plan
for provisional government, and issued a
/
| ing declaring the monarchical government
abrogated, and a provisional governme mt
established, "to exist until terms of union
with the United States of America have
been negotiated and agreed upon" When
the plan was SUBMITTED to the queen she
refused at first to yieId, but finally retired
to her country residence, her troops sur
rendered, and the government was in the
hands of the foreigners. All the foreign
powers except England promptly recog-
nized the new government. The first
news of the revolution came by the same
steamer which brought the commissioners
from the provisional government to San
Francisco, EN- route to Washington, to try
to arrange terms of annexation.
Public sentiment in Washington, so far
as it is reflected by the opinions of mem
bers of Congress and government officials,
is apparently favorable to annexation.
There is no doubt that the President and
his cabinet will resolutely favor the full
protection of American interests in Hawaii
by whatever means the occasion may call
for. In no case will any movement on
England's part, looking toward the con-
troll of these islands, be tolerated. Sena-
tar Chandler promptly offered in the Sen
ate a resolution favoring annexation, his
purpose being to open the subject up for
discussion. A message from President
Harrison is looked for as soon as the COM
missioners have arrived in Washin gton and
laid the details of their proposition before
the state department.

One of the largest firms in Newfound-
land has failed for $S60,000. 1t is the
largest failure ever known in Newfound-
land and there is intense excitement. 9th
er failures will result from this disaster,
which is blow for the entire island.
Part of the roof and rear wall of a
building at Springfield, Mass, in process
of demolition, collapsed. Isaac Vincent,
81, was killed. The contractor, Charles
Noel, had three ribs broken, but will re-
cover.
Mrs. Napoleon Richards was so severely
burned at st. JOhnsbury Tuesday, while
starting a fire with kerosene that her re-
covery is doubtful. Her husband and
daughter were badly burned in trying to
quench the flames.
Hiram Willis, aged 65, town clerk of
Wendell, was killed Wednesday while
chopping in the woods. A tree fell in
such way as to strike his body and pin
him to the ground. 1t was some time be-
fore he could be released, and he died
while being taken home. He leaves a wife
and daughter.

James g. Blaine.

A comprehensive sketch of the career
of Mr.. Blaine is printed elsewhere in this
paper. In his death the American Repub-
lie has lost one of its most brilliant and
devoted sons. Whatever may be any indi-
vidual estimate of Mr.. Blaine, or of the
permanent value of his services to the coun-
try, there is none who will deny that he
was intensely an American citizen. He
believed with his whole soul in this coun-
try and its institutions. He had jealousy
for its rights and perception of the lines
along which its development lies that
amounted to an absorbing passion. No
man ever had more intense personality.
In all our history there has been none
who has so laid hold on the popular ad-
miration and enthusiasm, bound his
friends to him by bands of steel, and been
to his followers veritable "plumed
knight" In remarkable degree he com
manded the admiration of those who op-
posed and even distrusted him, and of no
man is it more true that whatever faults
he may have had will lie buried with him.

A prominent New York Democrat, who
has had long talk with the President
elect, says that Mr.. Cleveland is shaping
the preliminary course of his administra-
tion with two leading objects in view
The first of these is to secure the repeal of
the present silver law and reach a settle
ment of the whole silver problem. The
second is to revise the pension list so as to
weed out the fraudulent pensioners. "The
nation," Mr.. Cleveland thought, twas glad
ly paying pensions to the honest pensioners,
but was discontented over the suspicion
that many of the claims which had been
granted under former pension commission
ers, Democrats and Republicans, were
fraudulent" The two men who have
been definitely decided on for the cabinet,
to help carry out this policy, are John G.
Carlisle of Kentucky for the treasury, and
Daniel S. Lamont of New York for the
war department.

WEST BRATTLEBORO.
The Spy of Gettysburg.

West Brattleboro knows when it sees
a good thing coming whether it be the
electric railroad, or war drama, as was the
case last evening when academy hall was
packed to hear the local dramatic company
render 1.-The Spy of Gettysburg" Those
who attended with the expectation of seeing
an amateur performance were disappointed,
as it was tirst-class in every respect, and
the COmpany's handsome stage setting
added not little to the success of the play.
W. NJ. Robb as Harry Lenox, the young
captain, was well received, and his make
up as the Dutchman brought down the
house. The difficult part of Cyril Black
burn, the william, was successfully handled
by II. w. Shaw. The parts of Mr.. Mulvey,
Mr.. Tapley and the several minor roles were
well presented and showed much care and
painstaking in their PREPARATION. E. NJ.
GoOdenOugh, the "culld gemman," of the
play made decided hit, and his every ap-
pearance was greeted with applause. The
true hearted Mabel Meredith by Miss Ruth
Hill, won the hearts of the audience from
the start. This emotional role was well
acted. Miss Lillian Miller's part as Lottie
Evans was pleasingly rendered, and her
lovers quarrel with Tim Tapley, the gem
tleman with an impediment in his speech,
was very funny. Mrs. Mulvey, with
mind of her own, as given by Mrs. F. c.
Sargent was terror to her household.
Good music was furnished by Misses
Miller and Foster and Mr.. Hackett and
was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience.
About $50 was taken at the door, which
will leave handsome balance in the treas
ury.

Useful Object Lessons.

A member of the state highway COM
mission of Massachusetts, is delivering ad-
dresses in that state on the subject of road
making, and illustrates them with a stere-
opticon. In connection with few subjects
could the stereopticon be used more eff
fectively. OF course the lecturer will il
lustrate the process of making roads prop
erly, road-making and mending machinery,
samples of good roads, ETC., but most inn
pressive of all must be the illustrations OF
bad roads at the season when they are at
their worst. More useful object lessons in
village and rural communities could hardly
be imagined

The Hawaiian or Sandwich Islands lie
in the Pacific ocean about POO miles west
of San Francisco. There are II islands in
all, but only eight are inhabited. The to-
tai population is 10000, but the pure ma
tives number only 900. American com
mercial interests largely predominate. The
native government has been growing noto-
riously weak and inefficient, and the ex-
pense of supporting the monarchy has
been enormous in comparison with the size
of the country and its sources of revenue.
For every dollars worth of merchandise
which Hawaii buys of England, she buys
five dollars worth of us, and more than
three-fourths of her whole commerce is
conducted by vessels flying the America n
flag.

He owns a majority Of the stock, but the
management of the company is vested in a

BuffalOes in Harness.

One of the queer sights to be seen at the
Worlds Fair will be pair of buffalo bulls
working in harness. They are the property
of c. j. Jones, who lives not far from Om-
aha, Neb., where he owns a large ranch,
and devotes much time and care to the
breeding of buffaloes. Mr.. Jones long
ago, when the buffalo was plenty on the
plains, was a buffalo hunter of great re-
pute. As the herds became thinned out
he realized that the animal would soon be-
come extinct unless something was done to
preserve the breed, and set himself to the
work of capturing and tanning them. This
he found very difficult, as the adult ami
mails survived but short time in captivity,
many of them apparently committing sui
eide rather than remain in slavery. Many
calves, however, that fell into his hands he
succeeded in raising, and now has herd
of some go head, besides number of cross
breeds between them and domestic ami
mails. These cross breeds, which he calls
catalo, are said to be magnificent animals,
affording superior beef and possessing a
hide very fine and silky, with a splendid
lustre, which will make cloak better than
sealskin in appearance. Mr.. Jones's buf-
faloes are very tame; they are handled as
easily as domestic cattle, and he has broken
several of them to work in harness. They
are possessed of tremendous strength, and
have the speed of an average horse. They
need little attention, and can pick up lv-
ing where ordinary cattle would starve to
death. Mr.. Jones thinks that as domestic
animals they are the most valuable of any
in the world.

vestments. His only wish is to see the bust
ness prosper to have the men paid the
highest wages possible, and to derive his
own living from the business. He has
perfect confidence in Mr.. Frick. Good
workmen, who do what is right, will learn
to appreciate him; but violent, mischief
making men will not thrive under him. In
conclusion Mr.. Carnegie thinks himself a
wise man for having withdrawn from the
active cares of business, after 40 years of
hard work, and before getting broken
down with old age

The Way the Brooklyn Ring Conducts
Business.

The Brooklyn, n. Y, Democratic ring
could not have severer arraignment than
the award of the commission appointed by
the supreme court to condemn the proper
ty and franchise of the Long Island Wa
ter Supply company on behalf of the city.
The commission reports in favor of award
ing S570, 900 for property for which, in De
cember, 1890, Mayor Chaplin, with Comp
troller jackson and Auditor Rutan, con-
tracted to pay S1,250,000. Assuming the
very liberal award of the commission to be
correct, the city would have been robbed
by the previous arrangement of about
100000, which would have made very
acceptable dividend for the Brooklyn ring
at the expense of Brooklyn taxpayers.

O. S. Kelley of Cleveland, Ohio, has
sold the patents, which cover everything
relating to the overhead trolley system for
electric railroads, to the General Electric
company of New York city for very large
sum, running up into the hundreds of
thousands of dollars. The trolley system
was invented by Michigan man named
Green, who was too poor to carry his case
through and establish his claims. Kelley,
who is a millionaire manufacturer, backed
him with money, and after a contest cover
ing several years the validity of Green's
invention was affirmed. Kelley then
bought Green's interest, and now has sold
the patent to a concern which represents a
big combine of the Thomson Houston and
Edison systems.

Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal in
dustry, a report on the experiments and

iodide of potassium-is a remarkable sue
cess, 63 per cent of the cattle treated hav-
ing been cured. The greater part of these
were very seriously affected when taken
for treatment The report shows the cost
of the treatment to be trihng by compar-

that the disease is net contagious, 21 head
of healthy cattle having been confined in
close quarters with the diseased cattle for
three months without showing any signs
of being infected.

II makes one realize how genuinely dem
ocratc our American democratic system is
when he reads that the White House has
been placarded and quarantined just like
any other residence while the Presidents 5
grandchild, the little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Russell Harrison, has been i'll with
scarlet fever. The case was mild one
but the family observed to the letter the
sanitary precautions fixed by law. The
child was cared for by her mother, and
both remained in quarantine for the full pc
riod of 80 days, and did not attempt to
leave the house until assured by the health
authorities that no danger to any one could
possibly result. After being closed to the
public since Dec. "a the White House was
re6pened on Tuesday. This is the right
way, and is accepted by Americans as a
matter of course, but it is democratic,
Just the same.

The Enormous Appropriations of this
Session OF Congress.

The House appropriation committee has
completed its appropriation bills, and, de-
spite the economical contortions of Mr.
Holman, nearly all are larger than those of
last session. 1t will be remembered that
at the first session this Democratic Con-
gress appropriated S40,000,0OO more than
its Republican predecessor. Now it seems
probable that the appropriation bills of
this session will carry S60,000,0OO more
than the corresponding bills of the last
session. Scarcely bill thus far reported
fails to exceed by from S5,000 900 to $685.
100000 the same bill in the last session.

Tuesday by vote of 40 to ga smaller
majority than had been anticipated. The
bill is that which passed the house last
June, and it now goes back to that branch
for concurrence in the several amendments
made by the Senate.
