The committee on military affairs

on the bill providing for the sale of

Essex Junction. Ex-Gov. Woodbury.,
Gen. T. S. Peck, Gen. w. H. Gilmore,
Col. J. J. Estey and Major Q. D. Clark
appeared before the committee in
support of the bill.
"Vermont's legislature of 1896 has
just three weeks in which to do it's
worst, but the chances are that it will
do it's best to adjourn early and avoid

SOME INTERESTING EX-
PERIMENTS.

It was happy thought of certain
scientific societies of New York city
chemists, engineers, pharmacists, etc.
to capture Professor Henry Mois-
san, who came to this country to rep
resent the Institute of France at the
Princeton celebration, and to induce
him, before returning home, to give
lecture at the College of Physicians
and Surgeons, and illustrate his re-
searches-especially in the study of
the carbides. Professor Moissan has
world wide reputation as chemist,
and has succeeded in manufacturing
undoubted diamonds in his electric
furnace, though not economically, or
o large size. In explaining the pro-
cess by which he made the gem, he
said that whereas high temperature
would yield one form of pure carbon
graphite would not produce the
crystallized form. That required
pressure in addition to heat. Dia-
monds are found imbedded in granite,
which is a product of pressure. Furth-
err, by reducing diamonds to ashes he
had detected iron. AS cast iron in
creaSeS In volume In passing IfOm the
liquid to the solid state, he was led to
believe that if an element of carbon
were enclosed in a globule of cast
iron that was cooling, it would be sub
jected to the requisite pressure. He
thereupon put some soft iron filings
and charcoal into an electric furnace
and in ten minutes produced an iron
ingot of the size of a bullet, in which
the diamond, of extremely small size
and no commercial value, was con-
tanned. He explained how the iron
could be eliminated and the crystal
taken from it. Subsequently, he re-
viewed other products of the electric
furnace-metallic chromium, molyb-
denum and tungsten. He gave list
of the carbides discovered by him,
produced some acetylene gas, and
volatilized silica. The lecture, though
delivered in French, gave great salts

POST-OFFICES.

to Post Office appointments under. the
incoming administrations and take this
method to inform all applicants for
such appointm in the Second Dis
trict, that in all cases where there is
more than one candidate, the selection
will be referred to a caucus of the
Republican patrons of the office.
I desire to put into practice the
principles of the EsBill to enable the
people to name their Postmasters, :"
which I have introduced in the House,
SO far asapplicablese'T That bill would
allowaall to vote without distinction
of party, and would thus take the
Postoffices out of policies.
But by the existing system this is i'm
practicable, inasmuch as the party in
power is held responsible for Post
Office administration, and while this
is so, all will admit that such party
should be allowed full control in the
premises.
However, all who voted the Repub
lican State or Presidential tickets in
the late election will be admitted to
the caucus, without regard to former
political affiliations.
These caucusses will be held under
rules and regulations hereafter to be
promulgated for the information of
both applicants and patrons.
If one petition, sufficiently signed
to indicate full notice to patrons, be
presented and no objection is made to
the candidate named, I reserve the
right to act without caucus.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS.

The immediate Improvement in
general trade, which set in the day af-
ter the election last week, reflected
the mercantile belief that Mckinley
is indeed the advance agent of pros
peritv. Of course the full volume of
the increased trade is not measured
by the weeks routine statistics, but
the figures of bank clearings for the
week nevertheless show a total of
1895. OOO, 900, an advance of per cent.
over the week preceding and of and
7 per cent. respectively over the cor
responding weeks in 1893 and 1894
From all over the country come re-
ports of orders for goods that were
contingent upon the result of the
election and will now be fulfilled.
These of themselves are sufficient to
give an important impetus to indus
try, and new orders are multiplying
now that trade is definitely back
again upon it's accustomed basis of
confidence. The outlook for brisk
winters business could not well be
better, and there will come another
Improvement when laws are secured
providing for an adequate revenue
and adequate protection.
Wool has promptly advanced, and
though sales in the Boston market
last week were not particularly large,
the tone of the market was most en-
couraging. Manufacturers are now
in position to begin work on orders
given to them in anticipation of Nc
Kinley's victory, and the whole trade
looks for the dawn Of brighter pros
perity than it has seen since 1892. I'm
til, however, the new tariff goes into
effect the full benefcent influence of
the political change will not be real

been closed, and it is perfectly we'll
understood that any moment may see
another thrush of foreign woods and

,accosted him and asked when he came

was then asked II he had found any
thing. Upon receiving an affirmative
reply, Mr.. Wheat described accurately
everything in the book, and Mr.. Baker
promptly told him that he had the lost
valuables and at once turned them over
to the owner.
The Wheatland farmer was overjoy-

~BURGLARIZED THE JAIL.
A Tourist in Search Of Sleep Breaks
Into the Bastile.

A very peculiar, not to say amusing,
occurrence took place last evening at
the city Jail. Along about II O'Clock
Engineer McCutcheon heard a racket
below at the city hall and sticking his
head out Of the window discovered
a fellow breaking into the front door
of the city Jail. Upon being hailed, the
the b%urglarious individual replied that
he vas seeking to steal some sleep and
wanted to know II he would not be per-
mitted to go in and take the rest for
which he yearned. Jack told him he
was on the right track. and to just keep
ahead; he would find some comforts on
the inside and could make himself com.
Portable. He was not slow in improv-
ing the opportunity and was soon snor,
ing loud enough to rattle the bars OF
the bastile. He was given his break
fast this morning and was soon again
upon the great overland trail which
leads from coast to coast, and then
back again.

BRONCO LACKS" SHOW.

Bronco Jack" the cowboy preacher,
held forth at the opera house last night
to an audience of about 125 people.
And he held every auditor till the last.
He stated that he was entirely without
education and proved to the audience
that credentials were entirely unneces-
sary to bear him out in the assertion.
From first to last the address was Of q
nature to hold, just to hear what was
coming next. He was particularly bit
ter in his denunciation of those Slab
sided sky-pilots who have the audacity
to wear woolly coats and polished
tiles A musician who came to vouch
for the cowboyism of the speaker sang
the Dying Ranger" accompanied by
himself upon the banjo. in a manner
which threw the audience into convul-
sions. AS a closing number, Bronco
Jack" prayed for the salvation of all
eve putting in a word for those poor
misguided preachers who have not the
good fortune to be able to catch onto
religion in its crude and undeveloped
state.
