Piggery-Skunkery.

The town Board of Health have been
wrestling few days with situation
as is a situation" We don't know what
the genial president has done or to what
he has made up his mind, but the secre-
tary and other members are in a guam
Diary. 1t is problem in the old Rule of
Three. The facts are these. Last year
a complaint was made by one of our
summer residents, that pig pen at Ben
nington Falls, owned by Marshal Legacy,
was situated right upon the highway,
and that it was so offensive it was not
pleasant to drive past it. Before any
thing was done a case of diphtheria
broke out in the neighbOrhood, and no.
tice was served upon Mr.. Legacy to move
his hog house to the statute limit of 100
feet away from the highway. Like a
sance at once, and the Board heard no.
thing more of the matter until last week.
This time the complaint is against the
I Mephitis Americana, the Seecawk of the
Indians, and there are about 20 to 25 of
him. 1t seems that the pig pen, afore-
said, or one just like it, has been sur
rounded by stone wall, sunken so that
no quadruped will dig under it, and sur
mounted by tight board fence. This
is the enclosure for the skunkery, the
new business enterprise at the Falls
One after another has been added to the
fold until the number aggregates the
statement above. The ultimate object
of this odorOus industry is the cash the
pelts and oil will sell for when the whole
brood is fattened. The problem is this /:
If the pig pen is odorous, and an Mephi-
tbs Americana is more odorous, how SUI
perlatively odOrous must thirty be? We
are told that even when the pigs "stir up
the animals the residents all about
there know of the existence of the
skunkery, but that when the proprietor
pokes them up for the health and growth
of the seecawks, the smell can be felt
half a mile away, and we should Judge
this to be true. We leave our readers
to work out the volume of the odor emit
ted, by the old rule: placing the third
term the same as the answer sought"
ETC., to find the fourth term-the volume
of smell.

new DYES FOR COTTON !!
BEAUTIFUL AND BRILLIANT COL
oRS THAT NEVER FADE.

Scientific Discoveries that Tighten
Labor-A Weaver's Experience in
Dyeing-Carpets where the CoIors
Stay as Bright as When New.
Within the last few years science has
been at work in the matter OF dyeing,
and the results are the fast diamond dyes
for on,-turkey red, pink, purple,
orange, olive-green brown, etc. These
dyes make culors so fast that even wash
ing in strong soap-suds won't start them.
If woman is sure to get the fast dia-
mond dies for cotton when she wants to
dye cotton, she will be able to dye abso-
lutely fast, nonfading colors that will
stay until the goods are worn out
A practical dyer, writing in the Weav-
ers Herald, says, 81 used to dye with
roots and banks, but after all my work,
land it was a tedious job), | was not sat
istied, for the coloTs were homely and Of
ten faded At last commenced to use
diamond dyes, and the process is so sim
pie and easy that the work is pleasure.
| have used carpets made of rags dyed
with diamond dyes three years, and the
colors are still as bright as when new"
Many of the diamond dye fast cotton
colors are so superior to other dycstuffs
that they are used by dyers everywhere,
even in the big mills and large dye
houses. Imitators of these reliable dyes
may claim that their cotton dyes are Just
as good but practical tests prove that
the diamond is the only kind that makes
colors which soap will not wash out or
sunlight fade.
The diamond dyes come in nearly fifty
different coOrs, for silk. wool, and cot
ton, and will dye anything, from pair
of stockings to dress or cloak.

VIOLATIONS OF TRUST.
Mr.. Boatne' Wants 10 investigate Dolnss G
Union Pacific Directors

WAsHINGToN. March l5.-One Of the
most important propositions yet sub
mitted To congress was presented to ths
house. when IL assembled today, by Repre-
sentative Boatner OF Louisiana, a leading
mem ber of the committe. on judiciary.
The proposition. as Representative Boat
ner has drafted recites with explicit do
tail numerous defaults of the Union
Pacific railroad and contiguous lines to
meet the debt due the United States. II
charges the present directors of the road,
and those in past boards OF directors,
with a violation of their trust, an I'm
proper absorption of outside lines aud the
voting of dividends contrary to law and
against the interests of the United States.
In conclusion directs. in the form Of q
Joint resolution that the president shall
appoint special counsel to institute suit
against the present and past directors,
their heirs and legal representatives. to
collect $35, 0OO, 600 and interest due the
United States. With interest the amount
OF litigation would exceed $40, 600, 900. 1t
would be the largest lawsuit ever insti-
tuted in this country, II not the largest In
any country.
BY the terms of the resolution, the de-
partment of justice would be relieved
from further action in the Union Pacific
cases, and the suit would be prosecuted
by special counsel AS a special case. The
joint resolution places 100000 at the dis
posal of the president for the employment
of counsel. Ii Is provided that the coun-
sci shall not be in any way connected In
present or past service with the Union
Pacific road or with any Of the directors.

Da CANA has been made a scapegoat by
Mello, for it is now believed that when
the latter sailed away from Rio with the
Aquidaban and Republica he realized
that the rebel cause at that place was
absolutely hopeless. He depended upon
his ability TO run past the forts with two
ships, but it was manifestly impossible for
the other half disabled and unprotected
insurgent ships TO run this gauntlet.
1t became a question of losing every
thing or escaping himself. He escaped
leaving Da Cana to share the lost for
tunes of his men. Nobody knows what
Mello will do now. He may join the in.
surgents at Desterro, or he may go tc
Uruguay or Argentine and surrender his
ships. If be scuttles the vessels he is liza

Whether or not the French and British
