THE TELEGEAPHIC- i ndifferent success and the wiadora of undertaking to furniah scientific education to young men intending to be farmers was widely questioned The school has justified the faith of those who favored its organization and now is generally admitted to be one of the most valuable institutions in tlife State The course of instruction pursued there -is thorough and comprehensive and as each student is required to perform a certain amount of out-door labor every working day all who take the course gain a practical as well as a theoretical ST other all this renders it necessary that you should taka larger view of your duty as legislators than was required pf your predecessors of twenty or1' thirty years ago Special legislation is not merely expensive to the State and

application of this pinciple is possible Xhe enactment ol general qqtte would shorten otrr legislative sessions simplify our methods df government' and be of incalculable advantage to the Commonwealth The daily expense of the Legislature Is at least two thoosand dollars If by any means the length of the session could be reduced from five months to two months the saving to thfe State would bo more than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars Or if it be urged that the salary of members is not affected by the length of he casiou-Stni--tJit is-only-about half the aggregate expense the saving would be not less than seventy-five thousand dollar This is a retrenchment commencing at our own door which it is well worth while to makeif possible In several States containing a population nearly as large as ours and a breadth of territory much larger" there are only biennial legislative sessions constitutionally limited to sixty days while in our largest States such aa New York and Pennsylvania the sessions are not allqwed to extend beyond one hundred days In fact there is scarcely a State of -the Union beside our own in which the legislative sitting is more than one hundred days even when confined to biennial or triennial terms er the work before you can properly be dono in the two months I have suggested depends almost entirely upon your own fidelity and determination Resolve to-day

document to our readers If read attentively we think it will be found to cover all the points of interest before the public The urgent recommendation to sup plant special legislation by general laws so as to economize time 'and money and simplify the process by which ends maybe more readily reached will certainly receive universal approbation We trust tlie Legislature will not delay action upon these important sag- ffntlon Boss Tweed This famous individual but up to this hour has not ventured to exhibit his in the Senate of New York of which he is a member-elect Bossa heads the opposition to him and with the aid of other opponents has brought out a memorial to be used against him which purports to show that his election was fraudu lent and therefore demands-his exclusion from that body It would be a soul-cheering satisfaction to assume that the New York Senate had grace and self-respect sufficient to enable them to do this wise thing but it is a mournful circumstance in this matter that we 'must wait fofi virtue to" ere we discount much on those qualities in that No one would'supposc Tweed would have the moral hardihood to show his face in the Senate but it takes an immense influence to fthesh a New York vandal ha lian had the cheek to manipulate ten or more millions of public money from the treasury of the city in which hq resides Ilenceyno act of his should excite surprise When a man condescends to play sneak-thief it is no special effort for him to commit any other sip that might frighten honest men Let ns tien watch the movements and learn what we can Oranges This trade it specially active just now' aa the importation of 30000 boxes of Fayal and St oranges have arrived at Boston within a month They are now telling on street corners in Boston at fifteen' cent a dozen or -two dozen for twenty-fire rents which make them cheaper than apples But our dealers beat that and give us any number at a cent apiece showing that the laws of tmdo in regard to the nimble sixpence arc well understood in Fall River There are 13000 boxes on hand in Boston most of which were told by the importer at 25 to 50 cent a box as the quality was poor and thus a great lots was made aa they cost in Fayal 60 cents iA gold and the cost of bringing them here (is 80 cents more So it appears 1 that they ought to bring near $2 per box or a cent apiece at wholesale in Boa-ton markets tp afford the importer a fair profit During 1871 there were brought into Boston 86238 boxes of lemons 262304 boxes of oranges 834421 drums of figs and 863471 of raisins Alden Ball of Acushnet hurt his right hand by a circular saw on Thursday to badly that part of the finger were amputated by Dr Hayes Remarkale It is stated that a post mortem examination of the body of Rnfua Riply the young clerk in the Bank of New York in New York city on the 28th ult shows that several sharp needla-like growth of bone had been forcing their way from the inside of the skull into the unfortunate young brain and it i probable that they were tlie first direct cause of the headaches to which he was a martyr and of the giving way at last to the suicidal impulse Some of these bones projected a quarter of an Inch or more into the brain and were exceedingly sharp During tlie last eight year of his life Mr Ripley suffered from persistent incorrigible pain in the bead on which no therapeutic not even the strongest electrio would produce the slightest impression In other respects be was a healthy man finely developed His easels not without precedent but such instances are rare At first only four of the lads were condemned to death at Havana but the court considered that too small and it waa determined to draw four more by lot It so happened that the two Bermudez brothers were drawn One- of the judges Apolinar del Rato exclaimed: is horrible 1 How can we snatch two sons away from on and one of the Bermudex brothers was condemned to death the other to the chain-gang Young Verdugo Who was shot

oan he unmindful of the growmg desire among thewomun bf lb 'State fbr greater and' improved educational privileges After what has already been said on the gen- eral subject ot education I hardly need add that their demand for enlarged opportunity -has-my eytnpatbyr'-i-'aura uf able to se8 why the intcHect of one aex is more entitled than that of the other to culture nd strengthening I do not infist that the course of instruction for young tronien should be like that laid down in our best colleges for young men hot it ought not in any respect to be inferior and tile facilities for study offered to the first-named ought to be as good as those enjoyed by the last-named It is gratifyihg to know therefore that there will ero long be Opened at Northampton a college of the highest and mast liberal grade founded on the noble bequest of the late Sophia Smith of Hatfield who left about four hundred thousand dollars for building and carrying on such an institution While general education has received much 1 attention and encouragement from the State technical education has been 'almost wholly neglected We shall not reach our liigisst development as a Commonwealth until our elementary and classical schools are supplemented by institutions for instruction in the industries on which onr prosperity so largely depends Of onr present population probably two-thirds are engaged in mechanical or man- ufaciuring pursuits or dependent upon those so engaged The State has established an agricultural college for her farmers and from the beginning of Her history has dealt generously with such of her sons as aspired to knowledge of the higher branches of learning but has done little for the education of )ier mechanics in their particular-field of labor Her duty to encourage and promote the speoial education of these classes rests upon two grounds first the welfare of the individuals directly concerned and' second the preservation of our manufacturing supremacy A great part of the work of many manufacturing establishments is so dependent upon scientific attainments that it must ultimately take rank as a learned profession Not only is a knowledge of chemistry and a somewhat extended acquaintance with mathe- matics highly desirable to the mechanic who aims at an advanced position in his trade but skill in drawing is universally important and valuable ami it is with pleasure that I notice the introduction of teachers of drawing into some of our public schools Such is our distance both from the raw material and from the market and such is the competition we have to maintain notonly with the pauper labor of Europe bat in the near future with the growing industries of the West that we can safely neglect no means calculated to give the labor of coming generations high pro- ficiency That- technical education is a necessity to this end the recent experience of European countries abundantly testifies as will readily be found by any one who chooses to investigate the subject I should rejoice to see institutions for instruction in mechanical specialties founded at all onr manufacturing centres The school at Worcester may be indicated as a type of the class which we need In my judgment the -State should very cau- tiously give its aid toward the establishment of these schools and only when the com munitiea in which they are to be located will themselves subscribe the chief part of thf cost IRO lSLATIVR REFORM The unusual and unprecedented length of our legislative sessions during recent years has excited the wonder of other 8tates and 'received the general condemnation of the people of our own Can this evil acknowl edged to be such by all parties by any means be overcome? Assembled here as the servants of the people you are expected to art legitimate busiaess that msy-coma-1 beiore you The fact that the people them selves are in a great degree responsible for the multiplicity of measures fqfced upon consideration at each successive session does not seem to be a satisfactory answer to their complaint on this bead The public continually asserts the Legislature is t9 blame for the long sitting It is for us to consider if a remedy can bo found for the grievance of which so much is said Many laws crudely drawn and hastily acted upon are passed at one session only to be materially modified or wholly repealed at the next Thus our code becomes encumbered 1 with obsolete or worthless statutes and our business relations arc disturbed and erabar- without corresponding good Im- portant Acts which have received the construction of tlie courts and become thoroughly understood by the people arq suddenly swept irom the honks because of some assumed or supposed defect or by reason of jirejudice in the minds of the few and their places supplied with nqw Acts speedily passed which upon trial are found unequal to the accomplishment of what was desired arises that one Legislature is continually undoing what a former one did The grievance as to this particular point can be cured in but one way law-makers jriipitld not consent to changes in existing statutes till they are dearly called for by the public -welfare and proposed changes should not be adopted until it is evident that they will be beneficial So far aa is possible we should avoid experimental legislation At the beginning of each session the general sentiment among the members is in favor of a short term Very little of whatthey are requited to do is accomplished however during the first four or six weeks The time occupied by tils Legislatures of many States completing their work is spent by ours fruitlessly and when we ought to be about ready to adjourn we are only ready to enter upon the important measures before ua While it is neither my province nor my desire to in- rfere with either the appointment of the labors of the committees of your honorable I bodies yet may not suggest that if the several chairmen would be prompt In organiz-' ing their respective committees and if each 1 member would foci a personal responsibility to give his time and energy to the special i work to perform there would i not be such a waate of days and weeks as there yow is? This course of action would 1 enable the various committees to make an early presentation of the results of their labors to their respective bodies and thus we should avoid the crowding of important buti- ness into the last liours of the session and the crude legislation inevitably conaequent upon such procedurer especially would I urge upon you the merits of general as opposed to-special laws The need of reform in this respect becomes more imperative yearly There is a growing dispoaition in the public mind against the granting of special privileges te the few and in favor of such a system of legislation and administration as will bear upon and benefit all alike When our population was small special legislation was to sorap qxteut a necessity' But the great change which have taken place in tlie last twenty years througli the multiplication of railroads tlie increase' in means of various kinds fbr iotorcommuni--cation the introduction of new and extension of old industries the
