The following is an abstract Of the adj
dress of Senator Edmunds at the Wind.
sor County Fair:


Senator Edmunds termed his remarks
more lecture than anything else. 1t
was his purpose to treat Of the errors of
New England industry. Using the term
in no political or partisan sense he urged
upon his hearers the study Of true
and higher conversation. Progress and
success are the results Of labor and meth
cd. While conversation is conceded to
be characteristic of Vermont, it ought
to be still more so. The ambitions of
Vermont farmers to cultivate a great
breadth rather than depth was severely
condemned. This is the fault of our
farming, and it is this system which is
gradually concentrating the ownership
of the lands into the hands Of the few,
driving our young men from home to
people the great West. We can build
up happier homes for them here.


Some think Vermont farming is a
comparative failure--thatthe wheat crop
Of the West puts us to shame. This is
not the fact In the wide range Of crops

chief. Descend from the tribune" he cried out
to Ollivier ''this is shameful In spite of its
government, the country is patriotic, but it is
vilely ruled" He then offered resolutions for
arming every able-bodied citizen of Paris on the
electoral lists, and for investing in an executive
committee of fifteen members the full powers of
the Government for repelling foreign invasion.
In his speech in support of these propositions,
VI. Fayre insisted that the Emperor should be
recalled from the army, and that the only hope
of saving the country was by wrestling power
from the incapable hands that then held it. His
proposition for the assumption of supreme au-
thority by the Corps Legislatif was declared by
the President, the obsequious Schneider, to he
revolutionary, and that functionary refused to
submit it to vote.


The Olivier ministry were driven from power,
and on the accession of the Count de Palikao,
VI. Favre gave the new government his cordial
support in all measures for the resistance of the
invaders continually and repeatedly urging
upon it, however, the necessity for prompt and
decisive action. He also continued to maintain
that all the misfortunes of the country came
from that fatal mismanagement to which the
Chamber had been compelled to submit and,
after the disastrous battles near Metz and the
approach of the Crown Prince at the head of his
army towards the capital endeavored to inspire
his countrymen with patriotic zeal, denouncing
as thrice accursed the citizen of France who
founded his hopes for the future upon defeat
and ruin.


Such has been the career of Jules Favre-a
career which is happily as free from fanaticsm
as it is from treachery to the cause of liberty
and justice. He has never displayed any tend
encies towards the ''irreconcilable" school of
which Raspail and Rochefort are the types, and
thus retains the confidence and respect of those
who preferred stability under Bonaparte to
anarchy under modern Jacobin. In patriotism
in experience, in discretion, in ability, and in
devotion to the cause of true republicanism,
Jules Favre is the foremost man in France.
He combines perhaps in greater degree than
any of his contemporaries the elements of sta
bility and radicalism and if q republic is to rise
from the ruins of the empire, his claims upon
the chief magistracy of the nation are superior
to those of any who may antagonize them.
Whether, in the tumult of the great upheaval, his
rare worth will receive its fitting recognition is
question which time alone can decide.

The agent very politely told her he had no
power to issue passes to any one, not even

she was s.en ascending the hill opposite

their fare by stage to Boise City, where
the woman's husband is lying sick. The

From the San Diego Union of March 7th we have important information regarding the San Diego and Fort Yuma wagon road Mr Fox, just returned from making a survey oi the road, says that the general character of the country through which it will pass is more favorable than he had anticipated From the quality of the rock to be removed at many places, he concludes that very little blasting will be required it being possible to accomplish the removal by iron bars.

 He estimates the cost of repairing the road from Mountain Springs down to the opening of the Cauyon-four miles-at about $3 GOO, and thinks that force of thirty or forty men would complete the work in that section in one months time. Mr. Fox thinks this part of the work should be undertaken first, and carried forward as rapidly as possible, because after the first of May the weather is so hot in the Canyon that it is almost impossible for en to work. Mir. Fox makes an elaborate report upon the merits O. the several routes for a new road. but does not specially recommend the adoption of any one of them at pres ent-his report bearing more particularly upon the repair of the road now travelled"

"Times change and men change with them,

 and the manner of justice very frequently

 marks the progress of change. Our Probate

 court matters furnish an instance of this. Per-

 haps the most extensive and heartless swim

 dles ever practised in this Territory have been those of which the friends of the deceased were made victims through means of estate

 matters as administered. Our citizens are of

 almost every nationality and it is rarely that any one ever encounters 8 relative here. In

 times past the struggle between life and dea.h in the case of citizen owning property, had 10 sooner terminated in favor of the latter than second struggle-s struggle between his friends-arose, as to whom should be awarded the right to administer upon his worldly effects. This was looked npon in those days as justi- fable, even more, an honorable strife, matter of speculation as the deceased having no longer any use for his property, and no rela, tive on hand to take possession, of course it must fall into the hands Of bis friends Every effort was employed 5y the administrator to swallow up whatever property remained after the indebtedness of the estate had been dis charged. Nor was it it necessary for him to employ any extraordinary arti fee to become master ofthe situation. The Probate court was then, in truth, iuost shameful, barefaced, miserable parody upon law, for the construction of which the Judge and Administrator were alike criminal. Ike administratorship upon same manner that a "lat' government coE- tract is regarded in these days, and in many instances proved much more lucrative to the administrator than does the contract tothe con- tractor at present. Indeed, there are men of wealth to-day in Arizona, who owe their start in life to successful administration upon the properties of their deceased fellow citizens.

 But this oid der has had its periods of begin, ming and maturity and is now familiariziug it. self with its period of decay. The quality of justice in our Probate, as well in the other courts of the Territory is now as free from contamination as perhaps, in any State or Ter ritory of the Union. With the present year the cleansing process commenced in good ears nes:-with Judge Titus of the District court and Judge Anderson of the Probate-and a- ready the work is about completed. Probate matters long since smoothed over and considers ed settled, are being ogerhaUled from time to time, and the developments cOnsequentto such investigation are in some instances of char acter which proves eonclusively the wisdom and prOpriety of this course. The office of adminis. trator is now, no longer sought with that zeal which characterized applicants for the position in former years.

At recent lecture in the Royal As
sembly Room, Bennington, Mr.. Chas.
Lunn explained the qualifications re-
quisite in musical instrument. and
passed on to speak of the human
voice, natures instrument. In order
toproduce sound there must be air.
or breath; but this did not produce the
tone or sound. The air must he set i'm
motion by means of vocal organs, for
sound was air in motion. The human
vocal sound was the result of breath or
air INSTRUCTED in the organs of sound,
and that obstruction could be used at
will. He then gave a minute descrip.
ton OF the nature, mode Of action, and
capabilities of the vocal organs, re-
marking that the sound was produced
by the air coming from the chest
through the windpipe exciting the vo-
cal cords. The chief object of a master
or pupil in that science, was to get
the greatest possible sound with the
least possible air. Intensity and
strength did not consist i'm or depepd
upon the quantity of air consumed.
but the way i'm which it was used. He
characterized the idea of there being a


chest voice" as stupid and erroneous.
Having enlarged upon various other
points, including the voice as means
OF conveying thought, the influence of
dialects, and the duties and objects of
master, he concluded by brief ref
erence to the nature of stammering
and consumption. He said there were
various causes of stammering, and in
two cases only could it be treated with
any hope of success. If he were to
say that he could "sweep consump>
ton from the land" he should tell
them what was false; but i'm many
cases proper knowledge of the nature
OF the vocal organs, the way TO use
them, and due exercise of them,
would prevent the disease from TAX
ing root in the constitution.

There is much complaint by i'm
porters in the interior concerning de-


laws and impositi0ns In the New YCrk
Custom House. The merchants oil
PhiladelE who have alm0si alto


gether ceased to import direct to that
CITY. as was their wont In earlier days,
and who find the carrying trade now


too exclusively in toreign hands to
make return to direct importation


now practicable, are becoming as
anxious as these of Western cities for
a measure like the Port Of Entry bill
favored by our business men. The


Philadelphia y ortb american, In


noticing this concentration of foreign


interests at New York. says this would
not be advantageous if goods for
Philadelphia could only be promptly
receiyed-a5 they are not-and adds 4:


There are two causes operating to
prevent this. The first and greatest
is the monstrous corruption that has
so loug prevailed at the New York
Custom House. The salaries officials
receive there seem to be the smallest
part of what they make. Goods des-
tined for any other city than New
York are hurried off to the bonded
warehouses, and then there is no such
thing as getting them out without a
vast amount or circumlOcution and
useless fOrmality The process can
probably be expedited by extra pay
ment. and this is the cause of the
trouble, since all the money thus paid
has to be added to the cost Of the
goods. Now, in times like these. when
merchants are obliged to calculate
closely every cent of cost this is
practically a conspiracy TO give the
New YORK importers an advantage In
the trade of the whole country. 1t
means that, whether so intended or
not, and has that effect. The second
cause to which we refer may be i'm
aged from this: it Is, that New York
importers, merchants and public men
are all deeply interested In continuing
/ this nuisance. and work together 10
its defense with a harmony, a zeal
and a success that are most striking.


For years these difficulties have
been sill more seriously felt In Gin
cinnati, St. Louis and other cities OF
the Interior. 1t has finally come to
this-of course precisely what New
York wants that cur merchants, in-
stead OF importing for themselves,
have found il more convenient and
prnfi,ab bic, in the long run, to deal
with foreign j0bbers in that city. This
has q tendency to enhance the cost ol
all imported goods to buyers here. buI
