Granger, Presiding Eller of the St. Albans District. ST. ALB tNi, VT., Jan. 20th, ISBO.—Dr. B. .1. Kendall .C• Co.. UffitiN:—la reply to your letter I will say that my experience with "Kendall's Spay in Cure" has been very satisfactory indeed. Three or four years ago I procured a bottle of your agent, and with it, cured a horse of lameness caused by a spavin. Last season toy horse became very lame and I turned him out for a few weeks when he became better, but when I put him on the road he grew worse, when I discovered that a ringbone was forming. I procured a bottle of Kendall's Spay in Cure, and with less than a bottle cured him so that he is not lame.neither can the bunch be found. Respectfully Yours, P. N. GRANGER. PERSEVERANCE WILL TELL. STOUGHTON, MASS., March ldth, 18S0.—B. J. Kendall & Co., Gents : —ln justice to you and my self, I think I ought to let you know that I have removed two bone spavins with "Kendall's Spavin Cure," one very largo one, don't know how long the Spavin had been there. I have owned the horse eight months. It took me four months to take the large one off and two for the small one. I have used ten bottles. The horse is entirely well, not at all stiff, and no bunch to be seen or felt. This is a wonderful medicine. It is a new thing here, but if it does for all what it has done for me its sale will be very great Respectfully Yours, CHAS. E. PARKER. . .

EMILY THORNTON. Weary, doll and heavy-hearted, on a course of thought I started Once, while seated by a window, where a thick syringe parted : But while airy castles rearing, with sweet fancies bright and cheering, I was startled from my day-dream by a dense, black cloud appearing. All the western sky seemed folded in huge heaps of darkness, moulded On a sudden, and my heart rebelled, as children do when scolded, It was hard to curb the yearning, which arose without discerning, That a Father's loving, faithful hand the wheel of life was turning. tut I battled back this feeling, which around my heart was stealing, And I wheeled to face the window, thus the storm in full revealing. Then I watched the grasses quiver, and the oaks and linden shiver, While I saw a heavy mist arise above the rushing river. Then rough, rude winds came slyly out, and tossed huge branches round about, While tufts of pine seemed elfish fingers, beckon ing me to join the rout. While a sudden clap of thunder seemed to cleave the sky thunder, And the strip of zigzag lightning flashed across the dark cloud yonder. Above the tumult rising high, I heard a low and mournful cry, Which startled—till I saw a flock of frightened birds whirl swiftly by. Blinding grew the lightning flashes, rain upon the window dashes, While the very floor of heaven seemed to shake with thunder crashes. With a marked, unwavering line, I saw the lurid lightning twine 'Mid the crooked, impish fingers of the beckon ing, pointed pine; With a hiss the bolt descended, with a crash the tree was rended, while gray, dappled clouds and lulling winds "reclaimed the storm near ended. Such is life, I thought, with sadness—scenes of hope and scenes of sadness ; Hearts now sobbing under storm-clouds, then half wild with bursts of gladness ; Know we some fair scene of pleasure, wooing us with dulcet measure, Some wild tocsin shows its danger, some disaster spoils the treasure, When clouds of sin obstruct the view, or woes like dashing rains pursue, Faith grasps the hand stretched out to guide the pilgrim all life's journey through. Then troubles never make or borrow, neither faint in deepest sorrow ; Bear to-day our trials nobly, and let God care for the morrow. oje (storg-Etlier. A BRIDE OF DEATH. In a c:.ttage in one of the small Russian hamlets, not far distant from the great capital a the empire, there sat an old wo man in a thoughtful attitude, looking out of the window upon the snowy waste sprinkled with houses, out of which spiral curls of smoke rose in the frosty evening air. The starlight was clear and bright without, and within, the evening meal was spread invitingly; but neither the old woman nor her young daughter, who was kneeling at her feet and resting her arm upon the mother's lap, paid heed to the one or the other. Ever and anon would the daughter lift up her beautiful face and look earnestly, sometimes imploringly, at her parent. At last she ventured to put her arm softly about her neck, and to say in the sweetest and most caressing tone in the world, 'Thou art thinking,dear mother, I know that Jarunir will be here to-night." The old woman smoothed the wavy, golden locks of the. young girl, and an swered : ' Nay, my daughter, I was indeed think ing of Jaromir, but not that he should come to-night : for I hope he will come hither no more." "And why, mother ?" cried the maiden, starting up, while her bright cheek grew pale. "Because I have forbidden hie). Ivano- wa." The young girl looked into her mother's face a moment with an expression of sur prise amounting to terror, and then turned away and covered her face with her hands. "Thou are not weeping my child ? Nay, listen to me. Post thou not remember the prophecy of the ohl gypsy of cave ! I have often reminded thee of it." “That I should be the greatest and highest lady in the land.” "Even so. Thou was then twelve years old ; now thou art fifteen, and beautiful, any Tvanowa." "And Jaromir loveth inc." "List. night in my dream I saw again the gypsy. She held a crown in her hand, and said to me, "It is for Ivanowa." "But Jost thou remember, mother, the day after the gypsy's prophecy how the cruel eagle swooped upon my pet lamb and carried him off? What left the eagle in return for my beautiful lamb ?" "There is something great in store for thee, my child," said the old woman, "let us not thwart destiny." The young girl only murmured in re , ply, Jaromir loveth we, and—l love Jaro mir." And as if the curtless confession had summoned the object of her thoughts, the latch was that instant uplifted, and Jarcmir entered. lle was the handsomest, the bravest, and the lightest-hearted young huntsman attendant upon the Grand Prince. So far was his station above that of the widow Maria and her fair daughter that none of the damsels in the hamlet, who envied her surpassing beauty, would believe that the prince's huntsman meant to wed the portionless girl; and many a meaning smile and scornful taunt were flung after the lovers when they passed to and from the church, or when the light in the widow's dwelling denoted the presence of a visitor. Rut the ambitious dreams of the mother, and the simple, loving earnest ness of the child, kept from their knowl edoe the envious sneers of the villagers. The widow was visionary and ambitious, but she loved her fair daughter beyond all things on earth ; and when Jaromir and Ivanow•a knelt at her feet, to own their love and implore her blessing on their union. and she saw that heaven had formed them in their youthful beauty for each other, her opposition gave way ; she for got the gypsy's predictions, and stretching out her hands in blessing, wept tears of, tenderness on the sweet maiden's head. The sun was shining brightly on a morning in early Summer. A procession of the fliirest damsels in the hamlet at tended by young men, all in holiday attire, was on its way to the church where the solemn betrothal of Jaromir and Ivanowa was to take place. The bride was dressed in white, the veil fastened in her hair with a wreath of snowy flowers, and floating like a cloud over her delicate and graceful figure. She leaned on the arm of Jaromir and walked with eyes fixed on the ground; but the soft smile of happiness was on her face, and whenever she looked up to him who was to be her betrothed, her eyes were filled with the light of love. Two young girls at her side bore gar lands of flowers, and the widow Maria fol lowed, glancing proudly now and then at the fair girl and conversing with the neighbors who walked by her side. Suddenly the shrill blast of a trumpet was beard, and the bridal procession stood still, as the tramp of several horses, sound ing in the distance, came rapidly nearer. Four or five horsemen rode up in some confusion; they were laughing and shout ing, having outrode their companions in pursuit of a falcon. The wayward bird was in advance of them; he wheeled rap-. idly round several times, and, just as the pursuers eame up, had alighted on the wrist of the bride. Ivanowa was frightened, and strove to shake off her new acquaintance; but the bird returned after every repulse, and looked with his clear, keen eyes, so earn estly into hers, that she almost fancied they had a human expression. While her young companions gathered round her to admire the noble and fearless creature, more horsemen joined the group. Silence instantly prevailed, and every head was uncovered at the approach of one whom all recognized as the sovereign. "Ha, my truant bird !" cried the Grand Prince ; and alighting, while his attend ants did the same. he held out his hand, that the falcon might porch upon his wrist. But his eyes were fastened on the young girl so intently, and with such evident ad miration that her eyes dropped to the ground, a blush overspread her face, and at length, abashed beneath his prolonged gaze, she sank slowly on one knee, half terrified lest she might have offended a personage sa exalted. "Who is this young girl ?" asked the sovereign, turning from one of his at tendants to another; but none answered till Jaromir spoke. 'So please your highness, it is my be trothed, Ivanowa, the daughter of Maria, the widow." "It is well, Jaromir," said the Grand Prince. "Come with us; we would ques tion thee farther." To dispute the will of the sovereign would have been high treason. The young huntsman was compelled to leave his bride and depart with the royal party. The young men and maidens who had assembled to witness the betrothal, returned to their homes, and Ivanowa threw herself into her mother's arms and wept bitterly, with a vague sense of impending calamity. Thr( e days after Ivanowa and her mother were summoned to court by a special order from the Grand Prince.— Jaromir had not returned None save the secrets agents of the sovereign knew that he languished in solitary imprisonment, while his betrothed bride was proclaimed throughout the city as the chosen wife of the Grand Prince, pointed out by the will of heaven itself—indicated flight of the fideon—as her who was to share the throne of the empire. Magnificent heynn-1 description was the next bridal pageant in which Ivanowa moved as the iiineiple personage, while the proudest n,i - de4 of the land gazed in admiration upon her unrivalled and won drous beauty. Gorgeous music accompanied the procession, and the shouts and huzzas of the people rent the air on every side, mingled with the peal of trumpets, while banners waved triumphantly, and flowers strewed the way over which the royal bride was to pass. But her face was pale as marble, and the jewels that glittered on her brow, but marked the sadness of her downcast eyes. Still she moved on, the wonder of all who beheld her—the beloved of the monarch at her side, the victim adorned for the sacrifice. The ceremony was at au end; the pro cession returned to the palace, and long and loud shouts of "Long live the Grand Prince ! Long live the princess !" were the signal of unbridled joy and festivity throughout the capital More than a year bad passed. In an apartment of the royal abode a wasted fi!rure reclined on a couch, surrounded with luxury and elaborate adornment which sometimes seem a more sad mockery of ill ness and pain than would be the humblest dwelling of poverty. • Two or three at tendants moved softly to and fro, and one had taken her station by the side of the couch to watch the slumbering sufferer.— It was the Grand Princess—she who had been so lately a bride—who now lay upon the bed of death. All at once a slight conva,ion passed over her pallid features ; she opened her eyes, raised her thin wasted hand slowly, and pointed to the door. This was opened a moment after, and an attendant whispered to the nurse, "It is the priest." "Let him enter !" was the answer, and the holy man approached the dying. "He stood silent for a moment, then bending over her, whispered in her car the single word—"lvanowa." A bright flush illuminated for an in- stant the face of the princess; a light came into her eyes. "Thou art come at last, siva murmured faintly; my spirit summoned thee, Jaro mir." Without a word more the priest began and closed the religious service fi. - r the dy ing. When these were ended and the blessing betowed, there wa3 a deep silence for a few moments. "Jaromir." said the princess at length ; "thou hast forgiven me ?" "Speak not thus, Ivanowa," faltered the priest, in a voice of anguish. "God path appointed . us both to suffer ou earth. His will be done :" "Farewell, Jaromir "We shall meet in heaven !" The sufferer strove, but vainly, to rise ; her eyes were fixed on him who spoke those words of hope ; and an ecstatic ex pression to her still beautiful face an ap pearance almost angelic. "We shall meet in heaven !" she repeated, in a low mur mur; and with the words that have calmed so many breaking hearts—that have smoothed so many partings—that have lifted so many sorrowing souls above the woes of this world—yet trembling upon her lips—her gentle and innocent spirit passed away. 0 joiitlCat. Senator Morton on Gen. Hancock. Extract of the spe2eb delivered by the Hon. 0. P. Morton, U. S. Senator from Indiana, before the Soldiers' and Sailors' Union of Washington, D. C., Monday evening, January 6, IS6S. After quoting General Hancock's order (General Order No. 40), Senator Morton spoke as follows : "This order is like the apple or the Dead Sea, which are fair to the eye, but turn to ashes upon the lips. The first thing notice able in it is that it makes no reference to the work of reconstruction, or the business for which he was placed in command of the district. The position to which he was appointed was created by an act of Con• gress to enable him to manage the work of reconstruction for the States of Loni.El• ana and Texas, and his duties are pre scribed by law, but in his introduotory or der he makes no mention of this business, and seems to contemplate purposes hostile to it. lie was not ignorant of his busi ness, nor did he forget it, and his omission to refer to it is significant of his purpose to defeat it. "The body of the order is devoted to the emphatic recognition of the legality and binding authority of the existing State governmc►!t in defiance and contempt of the declaration of Congress, tr set forth in the several acts of reconstruction. These acts of Congress are predicted upon the idea that the existing State governments are illegal, unauthorized, ar►d have no rightful authority whatever to control the people ; and to show how strongly and fre quently this is put, I will quote as fol lows : "The preamble of the first act, passed March 9, 1861, reads as follows : "'An Act to provide for the more effi cient government of the rebel States : " 'Whereas, No legal State government or adequate protection for life or property now exists in the rebel States of Virginia. North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Florida and Arkansas; and, whereas, it is necessary that peace and good order should be enforced in these States, until loyal and republican State governments can be le gally established.' . . "The sixth and last section of the same act is in these words : "That until the people of the said rebel States shall be by law admitted to repre sentation in the Congress of the United States, any civil government which may exist therein shall be deemed provisional only, and in all respects subject to the par amount authority of the United States at any time to abolish, modify, control, or supersede the provisional government; all persons shall be entitled to vote, and none others, who are entitled to vote under the fifth section of this act; and no person shall be eligible to any office under such provisional governments who would be dis. qualified from holding office under the provisions of the third article of said con stitutional amendment. 'Then again, the first section of the sup plementary act, passed July 9, 1567, is in these words : "That it is hereby declared to have been the true intent and meaning of the act of the second day of March, 1 67, notitled 'An act to provide for the more efficient goverment of the rebel States,' and of the act supplemental thereto on the 28th day of March, 1868, that the governments then existing in the rebel States of Vir ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Texas and Arkansas, were not legal State governments, and that there• after said governments if continued, sub ject in all respects to the military corn• mandors of the respective districts, and to the paramount authority of Congress.' "These different sections declare in the most positive terms that the existing State governments are illegal and unauthorized; that they do not furnish protection for life or property, and that they are made en tirely subordinate to the military authori ty, and whatever powers they continue to exercise will be by the consent of the mil itary commander. But General Hancock, in open contempt of these declarations, assert that the civil authorities do furnish adequate protection to life and property; that to preserve peace and quiet is the ob ject of his mission, and that as a means to this great end he regards the maintenance of the civil authorities in the execution of the laws as the most efficient means under the existing circumstances. 'He says the war is over, the civil au thorities are ready and willing to perform their duties; the military power should cease to lead, and the civil administration resume its natural and rightful dominion. Again he says, pompously : 'Solemnly im pressed with these views, the General an• nounces that the great principles of Amer ican liberty are the lawful inheritance of the people, and ever should be.' This is a very startling proposition, and quite as as tonishing as the news that the 'Dutch have taken Holland.' Again he says : 'Crimes and offenses committed in this dis trict must be referred to the consideration and judgment of the regular civil tribunals, and those tribunals will be supported in their lawful jurisdiction. Here he adjures the military power conferred upon him by Congress, recognizes the supremacy of the bogus civil authorities, and declares that he will support their tribunals in the ex ercise of their lawful jurisdiction. And this he says standing upon ground in New Orleans yet moist with the blood of nearly two hundred men slaughtered in the pres ence, and by the contrivance of the civil authorities, while the tribunals which he pledged himself to support have never brought one of the murderers to justice. If peace prevailed when he went there it was because of the bold and determined measures of Generals Sheridan, Griffin and Mower, and not from any merit of these civil authorities, which he delights to honor, for it is a notorious fact that un• til Gen‘..ral Sheridan took command there was no security for the life and property of Union men in Texas or Louisiana. Again says General Hancock : 'The right of trial by jury, the habeas corpus, the liberty of the press, the freedom of speech, and the natural rights of persons and the rights of property must be preserved.' This is a very pretty saying, but what does it mean in this connection ? It means that the lue'n, white and black, shall have the right to be tried by r,1y.1 jur;cs, which is like giving the lambs the right to be tried by the wolves. It means that the rebels who have murdered Union men shall be tried by rebel juries; and when, I ask, has one of them been brought to justice ? It means that men arrested by military au thority may be discharged from custody upon a writ of habeas corpus issued by a State Judge, which is in direct violation of the concluding part of the third section of the Act of March 2, 1.967, which says : And all interference under color of State authority with the . exercise of military authority under this act shall be null and void. "I read this order of General llancock with unmingled sorrow and felt that he had committed an error more fatal to his reputation than the loss of a battle. Gen eral Hancock is a gallant soldier, who has been wounded in the service of' his coun try, but if he shall now lend himself to the support of the principles against which he fought, and become the ally of his enemies against his friends, his laurels, be they ever so bright, will wither like the tender flower beneath the simoon of the desert." SUBSCRIBE for the JOURNAL. How They Voted. UNION SoLDIERS AND TILE TWO PARTIES. The Chicago Tribune says : Many Dem ocratic stompers have the impudence to tell their audiences that half the soldiers that fought in the Union armies were Democrats—Democrats who have stuck to their party and vote with it yet. While such a claim is absurdly and ludicrously falsc, yet it is calculated to deceive some. Several of the States passed laws allowing their soldiers in the field to vote and send hoine the ballots an:l returns, and have them counted in the State elections. The soldiers that considered themselves Demo crats naturally voted that ticket. Each party sent canvassers to the camps to col lect and return the votes. Herewith is a statement of the votes polled by the Fel diers in the field at the elections of 1861- '62.'63-'64 from those States which per mitted their volunteers to exercise the right of suffrage while in the military ser vice of the Government : State.

This is the best proof that can be furnished of the politics of the soldiers in the Union armies. In the Confederate armies the soldiers were all Democrats in war and nearly all Democrats in peace. In the regiments furnished by the New England States the proportion of the Republicans would be much larger than in the Central and Western States, and is safe to estimate the Union soldiers as about six or seven Republicans to one Democrat. AND now it is Gen. Hancock who has a son who "talks too mush with his mouth." This nincompoop contends that there are no principles at stake in the pres ent national campaign. Ile views the mat ter simply as a personal contest between his father and General Garfield, and is un able to see anything of those mighty issues in regard to State sovereignty, the suprem acy of the national Union, the enforcement of equal rights, the protection of domestic industry, the reduction of debt and taxa tion, the gold basis, the national banking system and a sound national currency, about which all the rest of the country has been ; and still continues to be, so agi tated. oittut Vanderbilt's Mare. HER WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE AT CHI CAGO-COMPARISON WITH OTHER GREAT RECORDS. The record of 2:13k made by the six year-old Maud S. in the third heat of the race at Chicago is simply marvelous. Only those who are thoroughly versed in trot ting records and turf history can appreci ate the wonderful performance. That a mare just past the filly-age, in her second race, should accomplish what no other trot ter ever accomplished seems incredible. The nearest approach to it was by Gold smith Maid, when she did a second heat at Rochester, in Angust, 1874, in 2:141; trotting against Judge Fullerton and American Girl. The famous Dexter worked for years to lower Flora Temple's record of 2:191. "A wonderful performance," was the universal exelataation when Dexter touch ed 2:171. Goldsmith Maid trotted a thous and times and more before she acquired the title of Queen of the Turf, by making a mile in 2:16i. Then the California, horse Occident, and the speedy mare Lulu, after many trials earned the same record, and the Queen went to work again to show that her title was deserved. She lowered her record to 2:14i. and finally, in Sep tember, 1874, at Mystic Park. Boston, with a running horse at her sulky wheel, she accomplished the crowning work of her long life. and finished a mile in the then unparalled time of 2:14. For four years Barns strove to lower that record. At last, when in perfect form, with all conditions favorable, he trotted against tame and beat it in 2:121 at Hartford in August, 1878. In the following month at Buffalo he knocked off a quarter of a sec ond. About a year later St. Julian, the California phenomenon, after about two hundred trials, trotted a heat against time in 2:121. Thus it will be seen that every record lower than -2:141, except Maud S. at Chicago, has been made in races agekinst time by old horses that found a day and track to suit them after hundreds of trials. In such races a trotter can do from two to three seconds better than in a contest with other horses. He can be sent at the start at his top speed, while competing horses must come to the stan.l at a much slower gate to insure a fair start: _ _ . At Chicago, Maud S. and Trinket scored at a 2:30 or 2:33 gait, and the great third heat could have been made in much better time had the Cincinnati mare gone under the wire at the start at her best. A glance at her time for the quarter mile will prove this. The first was wads in 33 seconds, the second in 32, the third in 32f, and the fourth in 331. Before the heat wai trotted Captain Stone was reques ted to have the mare let out, and as the Judges were willing to take down the dis tance flag he instructed the driver, Bair, to let Maud beat her four-year-old record, but do not try to do better than 2:16. When Bair reached the distance-post he looked back and saw Trinket was just coming into the turn. Knowing be must be doing better than 2:16, he slowed up to obey instructions. This accounts for the time of the last quarter. had he sent her best on the last quarter, and had she been allowed to start at top speed, it is easy to see that her time would have been 2:11 or better, instead of 2:13?, Captain Stone received a cable dispatch from Mr. Wm. Vanderbilt yesterday ex pressing his great satisfaction with the manner in which the mare had been man aged, and saying that the world must ac knowledge now that she is a wonder. She is entered to trot in fast company at Cleve. land to day, with such flyers as Charley Ford, Driver, Hannis, and Bonesetter.— Cincinnati Commercial, Monday. NO. 33.
