A Soil Brought Against a Truster otthe Rntland Railroad Company. Ritlajco. Vt.. March 1!*. In the railroad trial, this afternoon, Judge Teazer decided to admit the testimony about the Oak Ames steamboat transaction. Tne claim is that the Burlington Steamboat Co which owned the boat and afterwards sold out to the Rntland Railroad Co., was composed almost entirely of railroad direc tors, of whom Page was one. and was run by and in behalf of the railroad, and that Page had no business to make a profit as an individual, while acting as trustee; that inasmuch as the loss of the venture of 312. IXX> was assumed and charged to the railroad, w hatever profits Page made should be ac counted for by him. Page testified that he invested about $10, 000 in the steamboat company and owned 11$ shares out of 1727. He finally sold his St, ok to the Rutl railroad, receiving $11. (XX) in bonds and $300 in money, and his real profit on the venture was $500. being the amount of the dividends Page was then examined about the loans from Sawyer, of Boston, on railroad accept ances. He had had money of him. both for his own use and that of the company. The counsel indulged in quite a lengthy argument on the motion of the plaintiffs for an order on Page to produce the vouchers and papers tn support of the credits he is entitled Page’s counsel claimed the plainttft had no right to call tor them, as they were to be u«ed in defense and not in support of the p!a;nt-_ itf's claim. Public interest in the trial is itP creasing. A Bold Bad Man. Milwaukee, Wis., March 19.

Want their P«y—An Attempt to settle lor Sev enty Per C ent. Boston. March 19. The entire night force of the Bankers and Merchant*’ Telegraph ('on. pstny here stopped w°rk tonight, and it is understood that the I strike i» general throughout the entire line of the company. The operators in the Boston office hare no personal grievances, haring beeo pud in full, except for *-xtra service performed in February. Their action ia simply to I strengthen and sustain their brother oper j aturs in New York and other large cities, to whom the company is heavily in arrears. The following circular was sent from New York tonight by J. B. Butler, receiver of the company, to all employees Appreciating fully the hardships to which the employees of this company have been subjected t>y reason of the failure to pay promptly the amounts due, I have made vig orous efforts to secure advances in money sufficient to make a settlement of all outstand ing labor debts from September 23. 1384 to March 1, 1885 My efforts thus far have been so successful that parties stand willing to advance me a sum sufficient to pay at once j 70 per cent of all claims above mentioned within the same perion, provided this sum shall he accepted in full settlement of the same. Notify me without de lay whether this is acceptable to you. If the proposition is accepted I contemplate paying hereafter all future claims for service prompt ly on the tenth day of each month. J. B Butler. Receiver. In reply to this circular tne following was addressed to the rtceiver from the New York office The entire night force threated to stop work at nine o’clock tonight unless a definite answer is given them before that time as io when they will receive th ir salaries in full for February and up to March 15th. What shall I do? E. W. N. Upon the reception of this, Butler visited the New York office, hut no terms of settle ment were made, and all of ihe operators left work at 9.10 sharp. New York, March 19. The feeling of dissatisfaction that has long existed among the operators of the Bankers’ and Merchants' Telegraph Uo at the main office. 1M7 Broadway, culminated in a strike tonight. Twenty-five, men, comprising nearly all of the operators, left their tables at 9 o’clock, i'hev have been paid their Janaary wages. On reporting for duty this evening each ilia was given a printed slip which slated that the receiver, Butler, would pay 70 per cent, of; all claims providing receipts in full were given. After consultation, the men tele graphed Butler that unless he agreed to pay them at once they would quit work. Mr. Butler answered in person. A con ference was held without resulting in any agreement, and the men at once quit work. The operators complain bitterly of the way they havejbeen treated in money matters, and i say that messages have been connug in from j all over the country where the company has offices, asking when they should be paid. In the main office late tomuht it was said that j enough men were at work to transact all the business and messages were regularly sent and received. WASHINGTON NEWS. Washington, March 19. It is reported that the Senate in executive session yesterday ratified the treaty with the Khedive of Egypt, and the convention relat ing to the boundary lines between this conn try ami Mexico. In the absence of any rule affirmatively providing for giving tarts to the public the senators and executive officials of that body do not feel at liberty to answer any j questions on the subject. The comptroller of the currency today dc- j dared a dividend of 20 per cent, in favor of the creditors ighi and Partake* ot Soae Solid Food.

New York. March 19. Geo. Grant pasted a good night and slept with but little interruption. He rose early this morning and took a brakefast of coffee, beef and a little hominy, the first solid food he hat eaten in a da* or two. He was leeling better and m**re retreshed and the report of i his condition this morning was m re favora ble. Edward Pierrepont was among the callers on the General shortly alter the latter had breakfasted. The Medical Record, of Saturday, will say During the past week the local disease of Gen. Grant has shown no marked tendency toward progressive ulceration. At the re cent weekly consultation, Dr. Fordyce Bar ker was unavoidably absent. Drs. J. H. Douglass, Henry B. Sands and George F. ShraJy, were present with a view of dis cussing the expediency of a radical surgical operation for the removal of the growth. Such a measure would luvolve the division of the lower jaw, in a median line, the extir pation of the entire tongue and a greater part of the soft palate, together with the removal of the ulcerated and and inti Iterated fauces and the indurated glandular structures under the right angle ot the lower jaw. This was considered mechan ically possible, despite the close proximity and probable involvement of the tissues ad joining the large arteries and veins in the neighborhood ot the ulcerations, but in the best interests of the distinguished patient the surgeons did not feel inclined to recommend j the procedure. Even by such means there could he no guarantee, in view of the exten I sive surr unding infiltration, that the limits the decease could be reached without iin- I mediate risk to life by the s*w re shock to the constitution already much enfeebled. Tin j i low vital power is sacu a strong element m the decision that tor the present at least no 1 kind ot an operation Mill be undertaken. The i I ulceration on tUe side of the tongue has uot 1 pr igressed tar enough to produce the usual intolerable pain associated anti that coodi-! ti in, hut should tin latter symptom appear it j may be deemed advisable to divide toe gu»ta- j tory nerve. The general tone of the patient’s system remains about the same as at the last report, notwithstanding that he lias suffered much j from insomnia. The latter within the last J day or two has been kept under control by a suitable anodyne. There is no pain in swal- lowing, and sufficient food is taken with a reasonable relish. After hi» visit to Gen. Grant tonight, Dr. Douglass said “The General slept seven hours continu ously last night. He was very well through the day. lie asked for roa»t mutton. Dur ing the afternoon and evening the General revised enough of his bo«»k to keep the print ers busy three days. When I left^the Gen eral tonight he was inclined to sleep. The patient’s throat looks better this evening. It has not the angry appearance it has had. There was a catarrhal difficulty in the morn ing that caused gagging, but no bad results. Cocoaine is not now being used and there is no pain. It is the mental occupation that renders the General M akeful. ALABAMA CLAIMS. Judgment* Itendered by the Court ol t Commissioner*.

Melville H. Gilchrist, hank book-keeper, was called as a witness He said that if, on April 17. a director had wished to have it known that the account of Grant A Ward was overdrawn 8145.045, he would not have found that informal m in the hook devoted to the average daily balances Two checks for 8175, 000 were charged to the special account on April 17. but the witness did not know whether they were credited to the general ac count of Grant A Ward Carston Sieck, a director of the bank at the time of the failure, testified that he never knew of any loans being made without Collat eral being put up.

The court room in which the General Court Martial trving General Hazen holds sessions, was crowded with spectators when the court convened this morning. Many prominent officers of the army, and ladies were present. Friends manifested their sympathy with Gen. Hazed, not only by their presence, but bv loading the table at which he and his counsel sat, with baskets and bequets of choice cut flower*. Judge Mackey, for the defence, said The spt cifications in the charge recite that certain acts of the secretary of war were “in performance of his official duty." but the de fence denied this. He called attention to the tacts that the order to send the Greelv I party northward was signed bv President i Hayes, and the order appointing the com mander of the expedition was signed by President Garfield, and added these in sup port of the theory that all executive acts con nected with the expedition were charged personally on the President, and were not part of the official duty of the secretary of war. He contended that the prosecution having presented no evidence to show that the secretary of war was vested with author ity in the matter of sending relief expedi tions, the allegation* that his decision was in the line of official duty, which he said the most important allegations in the apeciflca- j tions must fail to ground, he pointed out that j the decision of the secretary of war. alleged to have been criticised by the accuged, wa« not an ac^of military administration, but re lated to a nautical question. Coming to the second *p *citication, that j flaxen addressed and se nt to the secretary of war a letter concerning the decision of the secretary in the matter of the relief expedi tion. without having been authorized or re quited by the secretary to send such letter, Judge Mckay declared that there is no law requiring the chief signal officer to obtain leave to address a communication. The secretary could not make the action of (Jen. Ilszen the ground of a charge ol conduct prejudicial to good order and military disci pline. Judge Mckay, in doting the third specifi cation, took occasion to severely criticise ex Secretary Lincoln, but was stopped by the court, who declined to permit anything more in that line. The court adjourned until tomorrow. KIIODi: ISLAND CONVENTIONS, Mate Republican*itad Democrat* Nomi* nate Full Tickets. Providence, R. I., March 19.

(buries It. Morton. The reports in the Washington corre spondence of some of the metropolitan dailies, indicating tfirst Charles It. Morton is meeting with opposition in his efforts to become postmaster of this eitv, have caused the New Age to occupy a large space in its columns this week in defence of the course of Morton in relation to Mr. Itlaine and his' family. The New Age editor evinces bv his lengthy and labored effort that lie considers the ease ot his partner to tie desperate. He represents lb irlon ns the very type of innocence, ah- solves him from all responsibility for the mean and malignant attacks upon Mr. Itlaine and family in the New Age. pleads that he did not deface or procure the de facing of the memorial stone in the ceme tery, and in most abject apology and en treaty labors to make it appear that Mor ton is wrongfully accused and worthy to be postmaster of this eitv. Now whatever the New Age may say will not change the known facts in regard to Morton's bitter, abusive, outrageous vourse in relation to Mr Itlaine and his family Apology and falsehood will not extinguish the truth. There are witnesses enough in this community to Morton's malignant course towards Mr Itlaine to render denial on the part of the New Age unavailing. Mill the objection to Morton as post master does by no means rest alone on Ids arts as a private citizen towards Mr. Hlaine. These are enough to disqualify him in the eyes of decent people in this •ommunitv from holding the important position of postmaster where Mr. Blaine’s home is, but in addition to these Morton has proved conclusively,by bis own hand, that he has already betrayed a public trust with which he was charged, and is there fore unworthy to lie entrusted with the handling and management of the corres pondence and other business ot our people which must pass through the post-office.

RIVERSIDE. The month of March, so far. has been cold er thao I ever knew; although s# very cold, there ha? been but very little sickness in the place, and no death for the past winter.—On the 12th inst. there was a meeting to see about building a church in this place, and a com mittee raised to solicit subscription* for that object. There is to be an adjourned meeting on the 19th, for farther action in the matter. Ira D. Sturgi?, E*q.. with his usual liberality, i has offered to pay one-quarter of the cost of the house. It is very much to he hoped that a bouse for public worship will be built the coming season. Home very earnest and en- erg-tic ladies have taken th«* matter in hand, and we have every reason to expect a victor- j ious consummation of their labors. One of the hails in the place is occupied for public worship. There is no settled preacher in the place now. The preachers are generally sent from Bangor, preaching here in the forenoon, j and at the Corner, four miles fr -ra here, in the afternoon.—Wednesdav a gentleman on his way from the town of Jefferson to Win slow, called into one of our store* to warm him. He was a large, well-proportioned man about 70 years old. On being asked to strp upon the scale? he at once complied, and tipped the beam at 28$ pounds. A little six year old lad stood by and looked him over, and said “Grandpa, he weighed 2*) pounds more than our pig did Warren Moulton i* doing a good business sawing custom stud at his mill, both long and short lumber. r.

The Merino sheep are of a Spanish ori gin. said to be a cross between the African and Spanish sheep, dating back more thao j two thousand years, and carefully brea until tbev became a fixed type, superior to anv known breed. They were bred in i large numbers and not allowed to be sold ont of the country uotil the later part of i the last century; but the Napoleon wars opened the way by confiscating the prop erty of the princes and nobles, they own i ing the best flocks. The early, and per i haps the most important importations. were by Colonel David Humphrev. our minister to Spain, in 1802. and William Jarvis of Vermont, the American consul at Lisbon. A few years later Mr. Jarvis f imported several lots. The Humphrev and Jarvis sheep were considered the best as they were from the selected families, j The Merino sheep have had their ups and downs several times within my rec j collection, brought about hv different j causes, sometimes nearly all disappear 1 ing hut thanks to the few tar-seeing men who have kept their flocks pure, and im proved them through all of these long years. They are coming to stay, not only tor the great demand of their bucks in the i West, hut tor their long, fine wool for de laines It must be long for that purpose 'and will be bred in that direction more hereafter, as the demand for that article will induce breeders to breed for that purpose It may be asked why the flockmasters will not raise their own bucks. The answer is that nature requires more cloth ing in a cold climate like New England, and the weight of fleece can be kept up and increased. In warm or milder climates, she goes at work at once to re lieve the sheep of their surplus fleece, so a constant supply must be had from cold er sections. Another reason tor breeding long wool will be to give a longer staple to the sheep in California and other mild climates, as they are obliged to shear twice a year; otherwise the wool takes a new start that weakens the staple in the middle, which injures it very much. The fall clip is too short to be worked without mixing with long er wool If the staple can be lengthened one inch it will make a vast difference with the value of a fall cl p of California and other fall-sheared wool. Merinos can be kept in larger flocks than any other breed and will do better in our old hill pastures. They will eat from ten to twelve more kinds of herbage than any other kind of sheep, will fat quickly, and when fat are of the best, mutton be ing fine-grained, tender and sweet. With the present idea of warm quarters, the Merino lambs may be dr ipped as early as anv others and be ready for the early mar ket.— [People ami Patriot. The Tail and Muaolrw of tlie Whale The power of this tremendous propulsory apparatus is almost beyond conception. The weight of a lull-grown whale may he appre ciated when the render reflects that the fa mous elephant “Jumbo” would have to be multiplied many times before his weight would equal that of a large whale. Yet the late Capt. Scott, Royal Navy, told me that when on the quarter deck of his own ship he repeatedly saw the whales leaping in mere play so high nut of the water that the horizon wa« clearly visible under them. Now Capt Scott lived to he nearly 100 years old, and when he was in active service the quarter deck of a man-of-war was at least 30 feet above the water; add to this measurement his own height, (he being rather a tall man,) and the reader can then appreciate the terrific power of the animal's tail. I may here men tion that this habit f springing out of the water is called “breaching” by whalers. Besides the great muscular apparatus which has just been mentioned, the whale possesses another muscle which surrounds the body; it is scientifically and happily call'd the "panmeuhi* catnosus”—or “fleshy rag”—and is developed in variou* ways,according to the animal. It is with this muscle that the dog shakes his skin when he comes out of the water. The hedge hog has it very powerfully developed in order to enable it to coil itself into the spiky ball with which we are so familiar. The inanis, armadillo, and echidna also possess it and use it for a similar purpose. Man lias but very little of it, the chief vestiges being the mus cles of the face, which give to the human countenance its changing expressions. The w hale wants it for two purposes. He wants it to enable him to bend his body—a function easily observed in the dolphins as they curve their graceful course through the sea; hut chiefly he needs it because by contracting it he can make his body heavier than a corres ponding hulk of water. This he has no diffi culty in doing, and when he wishes to seek the surface he has onlv to relax the pressure, when the body regains its original size and becomes lighter than the proportionate bulk water By means of this muscle the hippo potamus, the elephant, and the seal can sink themselves below the surface and ri«e again without moving a limb. For want of it man cannot perform this feat, and the best swim mer in the world would not be able to sink and rise again to the surface without moving hand or foot The Rer. J. G.
