A meeting of tbe New England Society of Wabidgton was held recently, Daniel Weed, Esq., in the chair, and 8. E. Faunce eorotry. Tbe committee on aoolablea reported that tbey bad a balance on band of $00 from last year. The committee were continued. The troasurer reported a balance of $40 15, which was approved. Tbe committee on sociables were author ized to give br many sociables the coming season as tbey may deem advisable. Tbe following tTl ters were elected to serve tbe ensuing year General R. D. Mousey, president Henry Stone, Maine J. B. Mann, Masechuetta S. A. Duncan, New Hampshire A. Chester, Connecti cut; William Hutchinson, Vermont; A. T. Briton, Rhode I-land, vice-presidents. A. T. C. Do6V, Judson S. brown, I. P. Libhy, C. W. Dnnison, J. C. Smith, U. II. Tilley, executive committee. S. E. Faunce, secretary. Cbauncy Smith, treasurer. J. W. Bibson, financial secre tary. A discussion then arose as to tbe annual celebration. Two propositions were made, one that a sociable and ball be given and tbe other that a grand old New England dinner in the old style be had. Tbe president end exeontlve com mittee were appointed a committee to make full arrscgements for the annual fettival. They will report to the society at its meeting to be held on the 23d of December, 1 Deaths from Intkmferanck. Dr. Willtrd Farker, the eminent surgeon of New York, stated at a recent meeting of the Association for tbe cure of inebriates, that one-third of all the deaths in New York City were the direct or indirect results of the nse of alcoholic liquors, and that daring the past thiity-elgbt years one hnndred and ninety thousand persons have died from its U9e, either by them selves or their parents. Thick of that An srooy of one hnndred and ninety thousand out of the population of that island alone slain by this agent! This does not include the vast amount of pov erty, destitution and suffering. Tbe drinking establishments of the city re vive $50,000,000 every year. There are nineteen drinking establishments for each Protestant ohurah. Note. Every drunk ard whs once a moderate drinker, begin ning with an occasional dram, and not one of them believed that he wonld ever become a slsvn to bis appetite. Thr Tariff. The first indication of tbe policy of the new ways and means committee baa appeared in the assurance of four of tltir number to the representa tives of the tobacco interest in their in view on Friday, thBt they wonld favor the reduction of the tHX to sixteen cents per pound on all grades. Messrs. Diwes, Kflley, Msynard and one other member expressed tt emelvea in favor of this ac tion, from wlich it is inferred that the committee intends to collect in customs what it releases in Internal revenue txes, and the proteo'ionists are more hopeful than on the first announcement of the committee. The commissioner of inter nal revenue will not oppose the sixteen cent scale provided it is made to apply to all kinds of tobacco, sinoe by it the tax upon ounces and fractional pirta of pounds can le more readily computed. SCFEE8T1T10N8.- It is singular to ob serve ta what absurdities superstitions lead their victims. At Witepsk, Russia, in order to stop tbe cholera, two couples were married in a cemetery. The cere mony attracted a crewd and the epidemic increased. Magio circles were drawn around some of tbe villages, and various heathenish incantations resorted to, but still tbe di-iease gathered in its victims. Tben tbe Israelites were forbidden to call in doctors, and the mortality became frightful. How tbe epidemlo wag arrest ed is cot told, bat the lack of soap and water, good phytdoians, an tffloient police and some common sense was apparently tbe most efficient agent in spreading it. Manitoba. The inhabitants of Mani toba are determined to have railway com munication with the outer world. And there can be but little doubt that the de velopement of the resources of that prov ince depends in a great measure upon the opening up of commnnioatir?! with the older provinoes and the United States. The Canadian journals contain notices of applications to be made to the parliament far barters for at least three different railroad lines. Each of these roads ia to begin at a point "near Winnepeg or Fort Oarry, and to run to a point within tbe provinoe in proximity U Pembina, in the territory of Dakota." Three parallel lines apparently. Prom the Monmouth, (N. J Inquirer. An Idyl of tbe Year 100O. BY MISS ALTCK M. WHITC1IFB, A graduate of Tilden Ladies Seminary in the class 1871.

Capital and Labor-How to concile Them. lie THRRE MILLIONS LOANED TO LAND LESS MEN WITHOUT ENDORSEES. borrowing yet not sorrowing, by prop. j. d butler, l.l. d. Burlington, Iowa, D-CPmber 6, 1871. Editor Rutland Herald .-When Fal starT sent bis page to Master Dambleton for a satin clak and offered his bond and Bardoloh's for Davment. the answer brought him was that the tailor "liked not the security." The Knight enraged at bis lack of credit, naturally wished that "Dumbleton's tongue might be hot ter than that of Dives," called him a ras cally knave to stand npon security, and cried, "I would as lief tbey would put ratsbane in my month as stop it with se ourit." Never did Shakespeare hold tbe mirror up to Nature more truly than in his picture of the credit seeking Knight. Always and everywhere, he who goes a qorrowiog, goes a sorrowing, sxoi oniy Shylocks and the Bank which is prop erly spelled backward 89 -'the Knab," bat most capitalists are deaf adders to most borrowers, because they, as well as Fal- staff's tailor, "like not the security." Cap italists will not lend a poor man money. They demand a mortgage or endorsers. As be cannot endorse, others will not en dorse for him. He has no lands, or chat tels on wbiob be can give a mortgage. Where be is sanguine that be can double tbe imonay that he wishes to bor row, tbey say to him, "you may be rob bed or cheated, or your investment may be burned up and your insurance worth less, or you my absoond, or your death may blight tbe brightest business pros-poct-T "we like not your seourity It is nothing but tbe moonshine of hope, or a "castle in the air." Again, capitalists shun putting their investments of almost any kind iuto the hands of any poor stranger. They are distrustful of his honesty, where there is a chance for fraud, of bis competence, where skill is demanded, of bia zeal, where he has no stake, and of bis vigil ance whore there are temptations to neg' ligence. He might carve out his fortune, but no one will trust him with the tools, Such as these are the relations of capit alists to laborers who are ambitious of ob taioiog the use of capital, and thus be' coming cipitalists themselves. These re- lations must result from prudence on tbe part of moneyed men. Yet they natur ally provoke those aspiring bnt needy young men, whom tbey hinder from ris ing to a higher plane. Bat must capital and labor needs be hostile Is there no way in which capi talists can be just to themselves and yet generous to borrowers Yea, they can, by selling them unimproved prairie farms on long credit and low interest. Socb prairie is equivalent to a loan ef its full value. The borrowor cannot be cheated out of it for it is not deeded to him till be has finished paving for it. He cannot run away with it. No fire can barn it up ne cannot lessen its value. Tbe labor and money he lays out on it will increase that value. He cannot strip it of timber more than he can pull tho hair on a bald head. Nor in such a loan is his honesty, competence, zeal, or vigilance distrusted He is stimulated to the exercise of them all both by bis fear of losing the sum he paid in advance to bind hia bargain, to gether with whatever he lays out to im prove his farm, and by his hope of making that farm both pay for itself and support him and his dear ones as soon as possible Other borrowing dulls the edge of thrift this sharpens it. We may not believe railroad corpora tions to be more benevolent than other capitalists and yet the policy of some of them in selling their lands is a specimen of just that kind of loans which we Lave seen to be most generous to borrowers, building for them, as it were, an inclined plans on which they can rise easiest from laborers to landlords. Tbe Burlington Missouri River rail road company, within eighteen months onward from April, 1870, sold in Iowa and Nebraska, 804,847 acres to 2821 par- chasers, mostly on ten years credit and at six per cent interest. A large portion of these purchasers had before been only la borers or tenants. Their purchases aver age one hundred and two aores apiece. judging by experience where similar ex periment have been made, no more than five per cent, will fiil to finish paying for the farms on which they have, at the time of purchase, advanced one year's in terest "The Davil," says the proverb, "is not so black as he is painted." Bo, when men declaim against railroads, let it be remembered that the B. M. road has furniahed 2821 loans amounting in tbe aggregate to 13,119,972.00 to men moat of THE RUTLAND whom would httvn h eu n-sMa to borrow so niuuh capital ftom banks, capiUli'-t, or any otber tource. Its long credif snles will prove to most of those borrower tht "tide in their affairs which taken at i's flood leads on ta fortune." It has given them tools to work with. Thus it his rendered tbe relation between borrower and lenders more friendly, sff'-irdinv lenders security and borrowers all tbf loans they can use, and these snob hp will in most cases be made to py for themselves. Of all helpers who is best Who but he that gives us a chance to help ourselves Railroad trains flying like shuttles from far cities to far cities weave them into a web o union, and a railroad policy like that of the B. M. links together classes often called antagonistic with a bond lighter than air yet stronger than iron. Our Wasbinirton Letter. Senate Chamber, Washington, D. C, Deo. 11, 1871. 5 There has been an uUar absence of ex citement in legislation during this con gressional week, all that has been done being incidental to jtho organization of legislative, partisan and personal in terests. The appointment of Honee committees meets with general approbation outside of the House itself, although it ia claimed by some of the friends of Mr. Dawes that in making bim chairman of Ways and Means, tbe Speaker has conferred a left handed compliment upon his old adver sary by giving bim a committee, tbe ma jority of which are committed to the in rnrPRta of free trade, end thus upon all radical measures arraying him upon tbe minority of his committee. This being true and if tbe free trade sentiment of the rrciJent shall have the effect to stimulate radical tariff flegislatioa upon tbe part of free-traders and revenue re formers, Mr. Dawes position may be any thing but enviable. If tariff soars bih Mr. Dawes wings are clipped, and so far as legislating in the interests of New England is concerned be might as well have no committee at all. But we hope for better things. Mr. Diwesis the ac knowledged leader ef the House, and tbe House is yet Republican, and the pirty will hardly turn a summersault from high tariff to free' trade. Outwardly nil is hnrmony.but it is currently reported that Mr. Dawes would have much preferred remaining upon his old committee, ap propriations. W dnubt if Congress ever came to gether in a more prompt, wide-awak manner, as if, to use a vulgarism, every body were "looking two ways for Sun day." It is usually the case that many fail to put in an early appearance, end not unfrequently a quorum is lacking at first, but a very prominent feature of thi sessi on has been tbe almost nnanimou attendance of members. Manifestly there has beeu little leili tion. Much diplomacy and not a little time and attention lavished npon drmns tio affairs, such as securing, fitting up and settling into home quirters, for, strance as it mav appear, members of Congress have to live like anyone else, Many came in at tbe elevenvb hour and fifty-ninth moment, and when tbey ap peared upon tbe floors of Congress had not had time to brush tbe railroad cinders and dust from their eyes, and as the mat ter and manner of living is never an easy thing to accomplish, there is doubtless a good share of the time between this and the holidays appropriated to that end Tbe early moments of Congress were seized upon by many te introduce various kinds of measures, upon which tbpy doubtless hope to signalize and ingratiate themselves into popular favor, and amus' ing instances occurred of little one-horse legislators thus throwing themselves (no other word will express it) and wielding the toddy stick of buncombe to the evident amusement of the old wheel-horses of State. Such as may not possess tbe -sbil ity to seenre an amendment of fifty cents upon the "omnibus bill" would, neverthe less, not hesitate to introduce bills npon the most lofty topics with all tbe gravity of a bonaf.de Statesman. But show tbem their price and they would as soon pop up and introduce a bill to abolish the torrid zone on the Arctio circle as anything. Two morniDgs were ppent by the S'n ate caucusping upon committees, but with out any material change. Tbero was strong pressure to restore Mr. Sumner to bis old position upon foreign relations, but the effort was ineffectual. The administration could not allow such restoration to take place without virtually admitting the illegitimacy of Mr. Sumner's removal therefrom in the first place, and furthermore, all reason that ever existed for having Mr. Cameron at the head of the committee still remains in force. On tbe other hand, Mr. Sum ner is as unyielding as a rock, and it is evident as he says that "doty is a task master to be obeyed." He declines the chairmanship of "privileges and elec Hons," upon the ground that such accept ance would Le in the nature of a com promise, and therefore a virtual recogni tion of the justice of his treatment. Mr. Sumner is a man who in nil things will demand bia whole due or nothing, bat like otber people be may sometimes err in hia opinion as to what is bis due, and in this particular instanoe the great ques' tion is what is Mr. Sumner's due and what is due to the President. Senator Morton as chairman of committee on ag riculture, is a change of no politioal sig- nificence, as he belongs to the same wing of the party that the old incumbent Sen ator Chandler does. Vermont sustains no material change upon Senate commit tees. The motion of Senator Schurz for a special joint committee upon retrench ment and reform seems to meet with some favor, and Schrnz will doultVs be made chairman if the motion prevails. There may be need for such committee, indeed retrenchment and reform will not be out of plaoe for some time yet, and we know of none better adapted to such work than Schnrz. He can see a point and act without fear or favor, with as littls hesit ency as tbe best, and beside we have per sonal knowledge that he is honest and fair with Uncle Sam in little things. Suoh a position ia beset with tempta tion. Another strong pull of Secretary Fish to clear tbe cabinet and retire to the se cluded enchantments of private life on the Hudson, or perhaps publie life at Berlin, or if stock jobbing should prove too much for Schenck, may be he might be induced to further the treaty interests by a minis tration at the Court of St. James what were we saying Ob, yes. Fish has abont decided to remain awhile longer. He has been for two years teasing and WEEKLY HERALD, threatening alternately to be let off tbe fabintt business, and the only wonder is that he don't make a bolt, as the saying unes perhaps be would, but for fear the New York Tribune would appropriate it before it was finished. Forty Senators bsve endorsed a petition requesting bim to rf miin, and some who objected to doing this, have called upon and privately made tbe request. The instances of public of ficials beiug endorsed with suoh unanimi ty are indeed rare. Tpe American Women's Suffrige Asso ciation, now holden here, makes very creditable headway. The cause seems to suffer less from its leaders and expenents than formerly, its representatives being more of the substantial and reliable class es and less of the fanatioal extremists. "K."

AVooi market. "Waltar Brown Sou's Monthlv Weol Circular says there waa more activity in the wool msrket during the past month than could reasonably have been expect ed at the clone of October, when the de pressing influences which were at work, arising from a stringent money market and extreme dullness in woolen good, in duced most manufacturers to purchase enly their daily requirements. Neverthe less this ligtit demand was sufficient to reduce fctocks to a very low point, and all must now bo thoroughly convinced of the inadequate supply if wools for tho remainder of the season. Manufacturers generally appreciating this situation, have, during the past fortnight, bought more freely and show a di-position to meet the present views of holders, feel ing satisfied that the future will justify t' em la anticipating their wants. It is natural in the emergency of nn insuffi cient fupply of tbe raw material to look for relief from foreign sources. But a glance at tbe European markets will re veal tbe facts of (-mull stocks, active de mand, and advancing values, with prices already higher here for corresponding descriptions. American buyers recently returned from England, where they found it diffimlt to supply themselves, and being unabl to obtain cheaper wools than were offered in the home markets, huve resorted to the latter source, end her.ee we are enabled to record heavy- transactions during the closing week of the month, in both do mestic and foreign wools. Late tfrlgrsphic advices from London report a further advance in Cape and Australian wools since tbe commence ment of the eales on the 231 ultimo of one penny per pound, which has also stimu lated the demand here fer these wools, and holders are firmer than a week ago. There has, perhaps, been no time eince the opening of the season when tbe sta bility of value was so settled a fact. For manufacturers the situation is probably one of tbe greatest interest. We can not certainly expect lower prices.and it would seem to be judicious ior them to antici pate their wants while the opportunity offers for good selections, if they decide.to run their mil's.

Kitcbing Brothers' monthly wool circu lar says: Tbe anticipated improvement in the demand f.r wools in tbe month of November did not occur until within the last two weeks, previous to that the in quiry had been quite moderate. Fleece wools havebaen firm throughout the month with a moderate demand bat a hardening tendency in prices. Stocks continue to diminish, while the supply of polled wools has somewhat increased and prices are a trifle easier. California wools of fall clip are now ar riving quite freely, but do not meet with a ready sale nnlefs at considerably re duced prices from what they have been held. Texss wools arrive in moderate quantities and find a ready market at full rates. Fine foreign wools, Mestizos, Ces, and Australian, during tbe last week have been selling quite freelv, prices bad been depressed by the bear influences brought into play and increased stocks. Tbe market ia now much firmer, and holders of Capes and Mestizis ere calculating upon higher rates, approximating nearer the value of domestic fleeces. Liw foreign wools for carpet manufac ture, of which there are very liubt stocks and poor selections, have ben only moderately inqaiiid for; daring tbe psst week tbe demand hag increased, and prices have slightly advanced. 8heep skins, both South American and Cape, met wi'h a pool demand, Bnd storks were nearly closed out.

Furthermore, sound ness of material is equally well Insured, whlcl is a very important consideration, involving, It dees, to great extent, the question of dnrs ollity, which Is an essential requisite to good work. The second distinguishing feature of thew works, and which perhapehai" Bnt contribute to their reputation, ha been Justly earaed v the employment of the most skilled arttznn' that can be obtained, and by ctinttnlng the l wr of each workman to such epeemlty of work as he excelled in.
