Return Trap. Those who have used steam for heating buildings

or for drying purposes, have long felt the need of a

perfect device for returning, at a high temperature, the water of condensation from the beating pipes to the boiler, thus saving a large amount of fuel. Such a device has been found in the ’Meharg Steam Trap,” which is offered to those in need with a guar- antee that they will keep the pipes tree of water.

This trap has been in use for several years, is sim- ple in construction and practical in operation. It is offered at a price solow that no one who is using steam tor heating can afford to do without it. I hey will be put on for responsible parties on trial for 30

days, and if not found entirely satisfactory, will be taken off free of expense.

The Election. Later returns of the election of Monday

only confirm and emphasize the first news of a Republican triumph. With inefficient or-

ganization and no effort deserving the name

the Republican party has won the day over an enemy alert, well-organized, and inspired by the hope ot a great victory. That the Democrats had large hopes of carrying the state, that they felt sure of their ability, through the agency of the Greenback move-

ment, to defeat a choice of governor by the people, could not be doubted by any man who witnessed the elation and confidence with which they awaited the returns Monday night. The result of the election gives the strongest evidence that Maine is at heart thoroughly Republican, for had she not been wedded to the fortunes of the great party whose history is the glorious history of the naticn for twenty years, her public trusts would have fallen into the hands of the men

who have so long and unceasingly labored for their possession, instead of remaining in the hands of those who have administered them so well, but who made scarcely an effort to retain them. The great and spontaneous up- rising of Republican voters—exceeding in numbers the votes of 1873 or 1874 and ex-

ceeded only in years of spirited contest—is an ample vindication of the wisdom of the State Convention in the matter of resolu- tions.

The only genuine surprise of the election is the large number of votes polled by the ureenoacsers—or as they delight to cal* themselves, the currency reformers. If there be works of supererogation tor evil as accord- ing to the theology of the old church there are for good, the Greenback men “can point with pride” to the novel record they have made in this respect. Just as the Green- backers elsewhere are beginning to feel that their cause Is a lost cause, just as their sophisms have been overthrown by the logic of events, just as the country is within.grasp of specie payments, the Greenbackers of Maine who could scarcely muster a handful.of votes during the stress of hard times when their ar-

guments had an adventitious plausibilty which has wholly disappeared, cast three or four thousand votes for their gubernatorial candidate. Really they make possible of be- lief the old story of the Pennsylvania Democrat who is voting for Jack- son to-day, for their platform is in essentials the Greenback-Pendleton plat- form of 1868, put away in the lumber- room of the past and pulled by them from out the decaying political rubbish of a decade ago. Their action is both melancholy and ridiculous^. It is melancholy to think that honest men whose endeavor is to do right should lend themselves to a movement which is essentially dishonest, which has for its object the swindling of all men who have trustingly taken govern- ment notes,interest-bearing and non-interest- bearing, on the pledge of the nation that these notes should be paid in the precious metals, the money of the world. It is amus-

ing to think that these “currency reformers” are seriously advocating a project which has been laughed down all over the country, and are sounding a war cry as devoid of any living interest as the “fifty-four forty or fight” of our fathers. It is very fortunate that they have gone to work at a time when they cau do no harm to the business interests and the credit of the country. The action they have taken will be remembered as the only curious episode of a dull campaign.

Yet another result of the election is to show the Democratic folly of nominating disaffected Republicans to office. This tea- lure or me campaign win However be so

fully discussed in tbe Democratic jour- nals, where its discussion properly belongs, that we pass it by with brief mention, con- fident that it will receive exhaustive and en-

tertaining consideration by them.

The late Lord Lytton, who will probably be best remembered by the name Edward Lytton Bulwer, which he bore when in early life he made a great literary reputation, wrote six plays that were and two that were not acted. The former are the ‘‘Duchess de la Valliere,” the “Lady of Lyons, ” “Kiche. lieu,” “Money,” “Not so Bad as We Seem,” and “The Sea Captain,” subsequently re-

produced on the stage as “The Rightfu1 Heir.” The unacted dramas are “Walpole; Every Man Has His Price,” a rhymed piece and a posthumous play, the name of; which has not reached us, which, it is said, will be performed at one of the theatres in New York next month. It is understood that this, which was found imperfect among Lord Lytton’s papers, has been finished by a Mr. Coghlan, who, as ;yet, appears to be rather unknown in literature. A new and good play by Bulwer would be a winning card, if even tolerably well performed, in the hands of a good manager.

An area greater than the whole of France is threatened with depopulation by the fam- ine in British India. A correspondent of the London Times justly says: “It seems a cruel mockery for England to subscribe towards Bulgarians and others while factually its own

subjects are starving by hundreds cf thou- sands.” The famine is confined to the Southern Provinces of India, which are sup- ported by importations from the north. Were the crops to fall below the average in the lat- ter section the calamity would be beyond re- lief. As it is, over 500,000 have perished by Starvation, and the nnmhpr nf vlpt.lms will soon run into the millions. At the head of the subscriptions started by the Lord Mayor ef London are the banking houses of Roths- child and Baring & Co., each for $5,000. To add to the distress the cattle are all dying off, as well as the poultry.

Little things are great to little people There has just been “a difficulty” between Russia and Denmark on a little,matter of etiquette—happily gotten over now, though in other days it might have led to serious results. The Russian ambassador complained at the request of Captain Tirnoff, command- ing a Russian man-of-war, that the Danish fortress of Cronberg had not returned his sa- lute of twenty-one guns when at 3 o’clock in the morning he had passed that fortress. The fact seemed to be that the commandant and garrison were all asleep when the salute was

fired. Finally, at the Russian ambassador’s request, the Danish flag saluted the Czar’s flag with a discharge of twenty-one guns from a shore battery near Copenhagen, and Captain Tirnoff was invited to dine with the King of Denmark. Many weeks and much correspondence were necessary to this issue!

Now that the election is over the Demo- cratic editors in Maine will fall to hair-pull- ing again. The editor of the Commercial will call the editor of the Standard a brain- less intriguer, and the editor of the Standard will call the editor of the Commercial a ma-

lignant marplot, and between them much truth will be told. The fall season is evi- dently not .to be ao dull after all.

\

The Kennebec Journal extends to Mr. Williams a cordial invitation to return to the Republican party, and gives an excellent rea-

son why we should forgive our erring broth- er. It says: “The honored name of Joseph n. Williams has been frequently seen on the Republican ticket in past years—four times at least. At every such election Mr. Wil- liams voted the entire Republican ticket, in- cluding his own name. Yesterday when he picked up the Democratic ticket in ward five, Mr. Williams deliberately cut his own name off of it. Mr. Williams evidently does not relish Democratic company any more than they seem to relish him. The antipathy is ‘kind o’ mutual like.’ The plain, straight- forward thing for Mr. Williams to do, is to return to his old political faith, and give the next twenty years of his life—as he has the last twenty—to the support of Republican principles. We will welcome him back with cordial good will. Like the schoolboy that went a fishing on Sunday—he may be for- given on the ground that he ‘has not cotched nothing.’ ’’

It is declared by persons long resident in and thoroughly familiar with Paris that the present political crisis in Paris, the issue of which is very doubtful, has brought out, as the engine of the Opposition or Republican party, journalism of a very high and peculiar order. The French government rigidly pre- vents the sale of the Opposition papers by hawkers on the streets and at the news stands. M. de Fourtou, the Minister of the Interior, whose real surname is Bardy, seems to have forgotten the great historical fact that the downfall of Charles X. in 1830 and of Louis Philippe iu 1848 was preciptated by their persecution of the Parisian press. Th8 pen is more powerful than the sword, and President MacMahon may learn that fact too late.

Indications of a prehistoric people, the signs of which are plentiful in Southwestern Colorado, have lately been discovered In Western Nevada. Antique pottery and un-

decipherable writings on the rocks arc the most common tokens. At one place engraved upon a rock is the nude figure of a man hold- ing in his right hand a shrnb, the general out- lines of which show considerable artistic .1.111

The question, “Who were the mound- builders” may still be far from solution; but tho recent discoveries near Chicago seem to indicate that they were of a much higher type than the American Indians.

Has the Argus, disheartened by defeat, struck hands with the Commercial? In its record of the vote of the city it credits Mr. Williams with no votes, leaving a suspicious blank where his name should be.

Current Comment. A new party has been born in Virginia,

but its wrestle with existence is likely to be brief.

Uncle Dick refuses to remove the padlock lrom his pocket-book, and the Ohio Democ- racy is shrouded in gloom.

Senator Bayard of Dele ware has been down at Richmond and told the people there that they must pay their state debt as a mat- ter of self-interest, for the slightest suggestion of possible repudiation would operate seri- ously to their disadvantage.

A Southern newspaper says that when Forest dies the last great cavalryman will have gone. If it were not that these are days of reconciliation, we would say that Sh-r-d-n and K-l-p-t-r-k are still living; but we will not revive those painful memories.— Detroit Post.

Ex-Gov. Gaston is likely to be the man

picked out by the Massachusetts Democrats to lead theirjjforlorn hope this year. The convention will meet at Worcester on Thurs- day, and unless Mr. Gaston decides to deeline before that time he will have little or no op- position. Mr. Charles Francis Adams has been solemnly removed from the field.

Tho Wation'comes near a just and compre- hensive characterization of the late Brigham Young, when it says: “He was a man of strong will and cool intellect, Ignorant enough to be near the level of the ignorant dupes whom he governed, and wise enough to Know how to make their ignorance con- tribute to his own advantage.” The Nation believes that Mormonism jwill tdie a natural death, ;

Among the constitutional tinkering Tpro- jects which will be brought before Congress when it meets, will be a proposition to abol- ish the presidency, and substitute therefor an executive council of state or cabinet, com- posed of the seven secretaries, four to be elected by the House and three by the Sen- ate, from the members of their respective bodies, to serve for two years, and liable to be removed at any time by the branch which elects them, and all to have the rights of mem- bership in both houses.

The “order” which General Baileau wore at the receptions given General Grant in London, and which so moved certain corres-

pondents of the Democratic press, turns out to have been his old army badge. This ex- planation clears up everything and renders it plain why the Democratic scribes did not un- derstand what General Badeau was wearing.

Senator Booth at Sacramento: “It seems to me that upon the old questions, the vital issues that separated us a few years ago, the Democratic party, like an army in retreat, has surrendered every position it occupied; surrendered each after a hard fight, and now it is admitting that all the distinctive princi- ples for which it contended were wrong. It has accepted the results of the war; it has accepted emancipation; it has accepted uni- versal suffrage; it has accepted the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution of the United States—all the acts of reconstruction; it has accepted the greenback; it has accepted Hayes’s adminis- tration. In the name of reason, what is there left it to do but disband? Nothing in Us life would become it like, the leaving of it.”

The postal money order business for the last fiscal year shows a very large falling off the decrease as compared with the previous year having been over $4,000,000. The pre- ceding year there was a decrease of about $400,000 in the aggregate amount of the orders called for, and the fact that there was ten times that decrease last, year, and that too when new money order offices are being constantly established, shows that the persons who send money through the moils have had a good deal less to semi than usual on account of the business depression and the scarcity of employment.

Men and Women. Don Piatt says that “a true interviewer is a

man who pots his own views in the month n[ the interviewed and trusts to God and good luck to escape death.”

Brigham Young didn’t pat on historic airs when it came to “last words”. His son asked him if he knew him. “I should think I ought to,” responded the indignant candidate for an

obituary. This is only equaled by the historic declaration of Mrs. Ward when confronted by her elated husband, disguised in his regimen- tals. “Know you?” said she, “of course I do, you old fool!”

Lotta as seen at Cape May by a correspon- dent of the Chicago Times: “A little figure in a

black dress, and with bright, copper colored hair, which the sunset lights to a flame as its last gleam lingers ou her head. That is Lotta sitting all alone in a camp chair on the sands, with the hands we have watched in their grace- ful flutter and twirls on the stage folded demure, ly ou her knees, and the big eyes which we have seen sparkle behind the footlights fixed solemnly far over the ocean. No little nnn could be more demure than Lotta by the sea. She puts on her black bonnet and shawl and goes regularly tc church. She walks much alone by the seaside. She arrays her tiny form in a doll-baby bathing-robe and plunges into the surf, and comes ont all dripping; from the bath-room to the hotel she walks in a

loose white wrapper and fairy slippers; sits on

the veranda and lets the wind and sun dry her

sunny head; from her bath and nap reappears at dinner in the plainest of clothes, and with the least artificial color and fixings.”

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Times

has made the remarkable discover; that since Donaldson’s disappearance the remains of no less than five human beings, with wrecks of supposed balloons, have been found in different parts of Michigan; and in each instance there was something which rendered it almost cer- tain that the remains were those of Donald- son—something by which they were identified.

Villemessant, editor of the Paris Figaro, says a Paris correspondent, is a stoat, thick-set mediam height, coarse, sensual face, staring eyes expressive of canning and impudence. He wears his hair cut short and brush-like, a scrubby mustache overshadowing his thick lips He affects a bonhomie which renders him pop- ular with the waiters in the restaurants. There are few disreputable]things in journalism which he has not attempted. And he doesn’t like Americans.

“Miss Grundy,” writing for the Graphic, tells a queer story about Colonel Nick Smith, son-in-law of Horace Greeley. His first wife, a Miss Lou Pope, of Louisville,Kv., was in sympa- thy with the rebellion, and he was an officer in the federal army while he was doing his courting in the first year of the war. Miss Pope would never allow him to visit her in his uniform, and not long after their marriage, or about the time it occurred, he resigned in the army. When he married Miss Greeley he adopted her faith, the Roman Catholic, and not long since he named his infant boy Horace Greeley, drop- ping the name of Smith so far as the child is concerned. “So it may be said,” says Miss Grundy, “that he gave up his country for his first wife, his religion for his second, and his name for his child.”

When Gen. Changarnier was |in Africa he was Colonel of a regiment, and was more fear- ful of a draft of air than of the lead of his op- ponents. His mind appeared |to be constantly occupied with drafts of air. On one occasion the bails were flying thick around him. An officer saluted, and said, “Colonel, you are ex- posing yourself." “True,” said Changarnier, “we are fighting in a gorge.” He turned up his coat collar,

A great race has just become extinct. Prince Gustave Vasa is dead, and with him dies the last male Branch of the old royal hous6 of Vasa, a line founded by the Gustave who freed hi country from the Danish yoke. Another memt bercf the same family was Gustave III,, the victim of one assassin and the hero of two operas. The dead prince’s father, Gustave IV., had so bitter a hatred to Napoleon I. that when the King of Prussia sent him the Order of the Black Eagle, which had also been be- stowed upon Napoleon, he returned it, “be- cause, as he said, “his honor forbade him to be the brother-in-arms of a murderer.”

John C. Heenan’s ghost materialized in Rochester the other night. It was a muscular and frisky ghost. The form was stalwart and the arms thereof were exceedin gly big. “Ef there’s anybody as doesn’t believe,” said Mr. Heenan with great impressiveness, casually balancing himself in front of a partition and striking it a terrible blow, "let him stand up. Ef there is any one as is inclined to question this performance, let him come forrard. Tm waiting for him. I want to convince him. I think we are all believers,” said Mr. Heenan, smiling sweetly. “But there is one more test I want somebody to grab me. Oh! I should like to|have somebody grab me!

Ruskin does not tolerate tobacco; he is very fond of chess; and, it is said that he is very mnch affected by tbe state of the weather, in- variably feeling well on a bright day and oat of sorts ob a dull day.

The report of Jnstin McCarty’s death was probably owing to the fact that Thomas Fran cis McCarthy, a well-known London journalist died very suddenly about three weeks ago. He had edited the Irishman for some years but at the time of his death was a leader-writer on the Chronicle. He had been ill and was urged to take a rest, but remained at the office, doing a sick friend’s work as well as bis own. At a few minutes before midnight he gave in his last article. Just as they were emptying the article into the forms.’at 2 a. m, he died.

When M. Thiers travelled in Belgium, not long ago, a worthy burgomaster in one town deeply desired the honor of presentation to tbe French statesman. Much embarrassed, the good man made bis bow, and endeavoring to say something at once delicate and flattering, tremulously exclaimed: “Now that I have seen you, Monsieur Thiers, you can die!”

[From the Boston Courier.] Maine Watering-Place Belles.

The Various Types and their Personal Pecnliaritiea.

This is a very dull season for watering place belles, and in all the fashionable resorts of this region they present a rather drooping appear- ance. There are different varieties of these belles, and they attract in different ways. At Castioe the other day we remarked the con- trast between those of that place and those of Bar Harbor. The atmosphere of Castine is unlike that of any otber summer resort I have ever visited, It is a Boston watering-plaoe, and those who have not the true Boston man- ners and ideas are by no means welcomed into the very select society which is to be fonnd there every season. The yonng people do no1 flirt over croquet or under the influence of the dreamy music of the waltz, but go botanizing together, and come home with the discovery of other strange and new things besides plants. They discuss scientific books and at ,the same time exchange tender glances withJIspectaoled eyes. They dig deep into the wonders of geol- ogy and find untold things; they sit on the balcony on star-lit evenings, and though they do not talk sentimental, still the sentiment oozes oat somewhere, and large words slip rather sleepily from rosy Slips. The belles of this place would not De hardened with beaux in many localities. They are too self-asserting, they have too much angularity of chin; wear too stoat boots, and know,too much altogether; they pinch their noses with glasses, and are calmly indifferent on the subject of trees. They sconr the country in short skirts; they are amply able to talk politics, they sketch from nature; they converse iu German and Frenab; they read Greek; they are conversant with every science under the son. On frivo- lous minded young ladies with huge gaps ex-

isting in their intellects they frown; on all young gentlemen they smile, but young gen tlemen of a frivolous order they bewilder and frighten to the last extremity, though their manners be of the most gracious quality. They aio uuu iuo uaoa ui yuuuh mutes wuu Keep lUcir

eyelids closed or waste their hours in bed. They are up with the lark; they do not deprive the parlor of their presence until the small hours of the night. They inspect the books which strangers drop in the intervals of reading, with the moBt intense cariosity, bnt touch them at first as if they might be poisonons. They speak with contempt of those who carry about “village library literature", aDd one little bint of slang gives them such a shock that they are well nigh deprived of their reason. Castine is a charming place, but still there are drawbacks to one’s enjoyment of its charms. Not every one is at home in the society of the hotels and boarding-houses, though all may eojoy the scenery, the lovely, quiet and drooping laves of the main street, the rained fort on the hill, the old historical houses, the ancient wharves and mossy woods. The Acadian hotel which sits on the hill overlooking the blue waters of the bay is a pleasant abode enough with cool chambers and a well spread table. There are lovely walks and drives all about. Meadows green and fresh as m°adows can be though it is past midsummer, and a plenty of jolly little craft are ready at the pier below when one is in a mood for sailing. Bnt who is fitted for Castine society? Who is able to stand before a Castine belle?

At the watering-places aronnd Portland there is another style of belle, one who talks slang, wears a very pronounced hat and handles her oars like a professional. She is likely to be a Canadian, though there are those from other quarters. Her tone is loud and her manners daring, but she is very fascinating to the gen- tlemen who frequent these parts, and is entire- ly satisfied with herself in every respect. There is another style which one finds every- where. Whatever her age may be, she japes the childish. She opens her round eyes in per- petual pretty wonderment. She is continually asking for information on every subject which is brought up, in sweet lappealing tones. Her lovely mouth is forever smiling. She clasps her infantile hands and gives tender upward glances. She joins in all the rough tramps which are started at the hotel, and is so frail, so babylike in her helplessness that more than one tender masculine arm is required to help her along, to support her steps on the rough road, to lift her over rooks and brambles. Then she must continually be told whatfiower is poi- sonous and what is not, what is marsh and what is dry land. She is afraid of echoes and

shadows. She relatos Charming little tales of tier own adventures, when something fearfu IS?0 world came near swallowing up “poor

Sba talIts with a I'SP and pouts be- witchingly on all occasions. She is usually accompanied by mamma, who is continually londling the lovely creature and entertaining the company with praises of her angelic quali- ties. The gentlemen hang lover her in adoring wonder—that is, when there are gentlemen about—she is so frail, so fair, so angelic. But it seems to me that gentlemen are even more scarce than usual at tho watering places this year. There are the usual quantity of artists, ■who are generally too much absorbed in obtain- ing views to be at all enthusiastic in the art of flirtation, and papas are as numerous as the sands iof the sea. If a desirable young man appears, he is invariably one of the class who haunt trout poods instead of the drawing- Toom, and is either engaged or it is suspected that he has been dreadfully disappointed. Boys are ;eagerly gobbled up by the most fastidious young ladies, and in many instances even these are wanting, and they are forced to dance with each other. Belles, who have lately arrived, pathetically inquire when gentlemen are at their height in this region, as if gentlemen were a sort of an epidemic, and wear a very sad expression of countenance.

At Bar Harbor there are more opportunities for flirting than at any other Maine resort, but even there the chances are slim. It is a very free and easy place. No introductions are re- quired, but the moment a stranger arrives on the scene, if he be of even respectable appear- ance he finds himself at once in the midst of society, and by evening will be taking a senti- mental row with some fair one on the silver ■waters of the Harbor. A oertain young lady was reported to be engaged to a certain young gentleman, but the lady (on being questioned concerning the same by a newly arrived and somewhat anxious relative, confessed that she did not even know the gentleman’s name. One gentleman left for Castine the very next day after his arrival because there were too many ladies to take care of; another only in- tended to remain a week, but concluded to take up his quarters there for the summer after all,because there were enough ladies to make it jolly. It is still as fresh and green as early June in this part of the country. To be sure there are some fields full of slowly gilding wheat, and the grass is mown, but the wild roses have as many buds as blossoms; the leaves are crisp and glossy, the birds sing and the breezes are laden with perfume. September will bring days like the Indian summer, warm, delicious, dreamy with colored leaves showing through the lonely floating haze peculiar to this season. The guests will nearly all have departed, but there is no time so beautiful here as then. There will be no fog to spoil our picnics, no storms to drip drearily around the eaves and swell the seas, and no wind to make it dauner. ouh sailing anywhere.

Summer Study in Amherst. Oar little Newl England is so full of quiet

nooks where one delights to rest, or resorts where the truly sublime iu nature may be en- joyed in its grandeur, that one is prone to pass by oar many charming Tillages as something a little plebian and hardly worth one’s study for the summer months; but once domiciled in an

elm-canopied street, with hazy mountain ranges in the distance, and bolder peaks rising witn individual characteristics in! the fore- ground, based by soft stretches of meadow land, a feeling of satisfaction and content creeps over one, so lasting in its effect that even the|gorgeons coloring of October finds one lingering, still loth to return to crowded streets where business reigns snpreme.

Such a surprise, such a satisfaction has the tree adorned village of Amherst been to mem- bers of the French Normal Institute as- sembled to folllow ,Dr. Sauveur through a course of study of six weeks’ dura- tion; not simply a study of the French lan- guage, although that has been accomplished with results the most satisfactory; .but to study the “Living Method” of teaching the lan- guages; for here, side by side in daily operat- ion, have been classes in Latin, French and German, under the guidance of able professors, themselves directed by Dr. Sauveur, and em- bracing a class of pnpils rarely convened for common (study; professors trom Amherst Col- leg*, Vassar, Dennison* University, Normal

It is, it must be a success, a reform that shall make in time the Latin and Greek known languages in place of studied language s. The enthusiasm with which the representatives of the school and system await the coming of another summer, when the reform of Greek will be commenced, and the Latin class will have become sufficiently advanced to discuss intelligently Latin authors is delightful.

The school willjalso comprise three classes of -1- reucu ana mree or uerman, a class of Italian and also one of Spanish; the corps of teach- ers having been selected—I use the word se- lected advisedly—by Dr. Sauveur, to insure the best results.

What is to be the nature of this instruction ? Examine the admirable works of Dr. Sauveur, “Causeries avec mes Eleves” "Entretiens sur la Grammaie,” and particularly his last work "Fables of Da Fontaine”,a textbook for schools which will prove a new weapon in the hands of the teacher, to combat the prejudice of the disciples of the old system; a work in which the author has stored a mine of thought, and a fund of knowledge, aside from the lessons of the great fabnlist,

POLITICAL.

Wisconsin Republican State Convention. Madison, Wis., Sept. 11.—The Republican

state convention today nominated the following ticket:

Governor—William E. Smith of Milwaukee. Lieut. Govornor—J. M. Bingham of Chip-

pewa. Secretary of State—Hans R. Warner of

Pierce. State Treasurer—Richard Guenther of Win-

nebago. Attotney General—W. E. Carter of Grant. Superintendent of Public Instruction—W. C.

Whitford of Rock. The following resolutions were adopted: That we re-affirm the principles which have

guided the national Republican party hitherto. That we declare it the steadfast purpose of

the Republicans of Wisconsin to co-operate with all good citizens in maintaining in letter and spirit the constitutional amendments framed to secure the riglijs of all; and in maintaining the plighted faith of the nation, and promoting reform, and in securing econo- my and efficiency in every branch of the gov- ernment.

That most earnestly desiring the pacification of the Southern section of our Union and its speedy return to materiol prosperity, we are mindful that this can be gained only by obedi- ence to the law, by the protection of all in every right and by careful regard for that class of citizens least able to protect themselves.

In the efforts of the present national admin- istration to restore peace and concord to the South we recognize a magnanimous purpose to remove every semblance of lawlessness and violence. We hope this magnanimity will be duly appreciated and the reciprocal pledges made by prominent citizens of the South be faithfully kept. We shall rejoice if the South- ern policy of the President produces the hoped for results of order and peace, but if these re- sults shall not follow this experiment, we de- mand thar other measures be adopted which shall secure to all citizens without distinction of race or color the fullest enjoyment of con- stitutional rights.

That the determination of the national ex-

ecutive to render the civil service more efficient and less obnoxious to criticism meets our approval. The perfection of our system of government in every detail of the administra- tion is one of the most important duties of the hour. All efforts in that direction should be fairly considered, neither hastily approved nor

condemned. That in tha purposes and patriotism of

President Hayes we declare our unshaken con- fidence.

The resolutions also urge the mcd'fication of the patent laws to secure protection of the people from undue exactions; rejoice that the fidelity of the Republican party in upholding the national credit has brought the currency so near the point of the resumption of specie pay- ment, and hold that the silver dollar should be restored to its former place as money and made legal tender for payment of debts, except where otherwise distinctly provided by law, with coinafie so regulated as to maintain the equality of its value and preserve harmonious the circulation of gold, silver and legal notes as money.

Other resolutions say that while we earnestly condemn all violence, outlawry and mob rule, yet tha Republican party expresses heartfelt sympathy with the condition of tha working- men who are willing to work but are unable to find employment, and pnblic attention should be called to the grave importance of the labor qnestion and most careful consideration should he given to the same by Federal and state leg- islation ; that we oppose any further bestowal of public lauds upon railroad corporations and urge the establishment of such governmental regulations of inter-state railroads as their im- portance as the national highways and the in- terests of the people demand.

The Balance al Power in (he.Sennlr. New Yoke, Sspt. 11.—A Washington des-

patch says: The Democrats believe that they will control

the Senate. Morton will be absent, leaving only two Republican majority. One of these has already been captured, and if Senatoi Spencer should be delayed by his Black Hills speculations, it would leave tbe Senate with i Democratic supremacy.

Tlie President’s message, Tbe estimates for the support of the armj

for the present fiscal year have been preparec by the War Department and sent to tbe Treas ury Department, which will transmit them tc Congress at tbe extra session. These are th< ooly estimates to be sent in. Tbe Cabinet no: long aga agreed that tbe message and accom panying documents should relate only to tbt business for which Congress is especially con- vened and not the general subjects of legisla- tion. It is thought, therefore, the message will be brief. The Senate will, iu their executivi session, act upon the nomination of person! placed in office since the adjournment of the last Congress.

The Turco-Russian War.

THE BEGGAKIAN CAMPAIGN. Conflicting Humor. from Plevna.

New York, Sept. 11 —A despatch from Bu- charest says the Russian authorities publish the capture, by Roumanian troops, of the Turk- ish intrenchments on the left centre at Plevna, after very desperate fighting. The Czar sent decorations to all the officers and soldiers en- gaged in recognition of their gallantry.

A later despatch states that the Turks still hold all their positions.

Saturday’. Fighting nt Plevna; London, Sept. 11.—The Daily News’ corres-

pondent before Plevna Saturday, Sept. 8th, 5 p. in., says: When the cannonading recommenced this morning it was not easy at first to recog- nize that the Russians had gained any advan- tage the day before. The parapet of the Gre- vica redoubt had been a good deal jagged by the Russian shells, but under cover of the dark- ness all its defects had been made good and it looked as trim as if never a shot had been fired at it. The Russians had during the night gain- ed a large slice of ground in the direction of Grivica, and a battery of siege guns had been built on an elevation within easy range of the redoubt. Ac sunrise that battery came into ac- tion in the rear of the advanced battery and sent its fire sweeping down into the redoubt, which could not reply to the siege battery the range being too long, so it pounded away at the field batteries on the ridge, but the practice was not good and few casualties have occurred. The Russian seige battery made admirable practice at the Grivica redoubt, which is the key to the position, and instead of spreading their fire the Russians should have concentrated upon it the whole weight of the bombardment. As it is, they may bombard it a week and after ail not sncceed in taking It. The assault was in- tended to begiD j esterday afternoon at 5 o’clock, but owing to delays troops were not in position by the appointed time. Everywhere now io- fantry are in position.

Towards noon the Russian iufantry pushed forward in skirmishing order, driving back the Turks. The artillery followed and came into action at short range. The Turkish return fire was chiefly directed at the Russian first line of artillery. It was very heavy, but little harm was done. Further on the left to the crest of tbe range beyona Radisova, which was one ar-

ray of field batteries the firing was very heavy, the Turkish shells doing great damage among the gunners and falling behind among tbe in- fantry on the reverse slope and in Radisova. At 3 o’clock the Russians advanced toward the Turkish positions and continued to fire somo- what slackly; The fire must have reached in- to Plevna.

There are no indications of an assault today. I believe it will be commenced tomorrow after- noon. Russian cannon are drawing close around the Turkish positions, bat the test will not be with the cannon but the prowess of the men. The losses are much heavier today than yesterday.

Humored vaptnre or Plena (Jucon. Ariued.

The Times’Vienna correspondent telegraph- ing Tuesday. says the reports about the fall of Plevna, which were traced to Roumanian sources, have not been confirmed by aDy side.

It is surmised that the Russians have ap- proached within striking distance, and are

awaiting the movement of their turning col- umns, supposed to have been sent to the flank and rear of Plevna, or that the Turk3 may have fortified Plevna so strongly that it only can be taken by gradual approaches. The whole plan of attack may thus have to he changed. It is stated from Bucharest that the Russians have removed the bridge at Pirgos and taken it to Petroscon, higher up the river

Alleged Russian Barbarities. New York, Sept. 11.—The Turkish legation

furnishes another batch of atrocities on Mus- sulman subjects, including a telegram from Suleiman Pasha, which says:

In the village of Ofianzir every inhabitant, men, women and children, save a little girl 7 years old. were killed by the Bulgarians. At Ketchi Deressi, near Kalanlyr, the greater part of the inhabitants were massacred by the Cossacks and Bulgarians, and the latter com- pleted their bloody work by killing 70 men and a great number of Mussulman young girls.

The affair caused great excitement, and the Ger- mans intend to demand satisfaction for an al- leged invasion of the Germanian club by Bra- zilian authorities.

FRANCE. Gambetta Condemned to fmprisoutnent

Paris, Sept. 11.—Gambetta and Murat, the publisher of the Republique Prancaise, were to have appeared before the tenth chamber of the correctional police to answer for delivering and publishing the former’s Lille speech. Neith- er responded, Gambetta in consequence of ill- ness. His counsel lodged a petition for ad- journment of the trial one week, which was re- fused. An eDtry of default was made against Gambetta and Murat, and Gambetta was con- demned in default to three mouths’ imprison- ment and a line of 2000 fraucs. The public were excluded from the palace of justice where the tribunal was sitting.

The judgment against Gambetta is based up- on his and Murat’s admission before the judge destruction that the speech was published by his (Gambetta’s order. The judgment points oat in detail the culpability ol ten passages in the speech, and particularly declares that the passage in which Gambetta said President Mac- Mahon must submit to the decision of the na- tion or resign, was a threat constituting an at- tack on the loyalty, honor, dignity, and conse- quently on the person of the President of the Republic. The judgment will be communicat- ed to Gambetta this evening. An appeal will be taken which will be heard Sept. 20th.

Tflnvo fi.!_J

The police this evening seized five of the principal Republican papers, including Le Temps, La France and LeBien Public. It is believed the seizure was made in consequence the publication of a report of the trial or for violent articles, The Pays, a Bonapartist or- gan, was also seized. The seizures, however, were only maintained as regards Le Bien Pub- ic. A subscription has been opened in Paris for

a monment to Thiers. The sentence against Gambelta add Murat

conbludes as follows: “It is ordered that judg- ment shall be executed immediately notwith- standing opposition or appeal.” According, however, to the French code, provisional execu- tion applies only to the fine, and Gambetta, therefore, is not liable to immediate imprison- ment.

Gambetta’s object in allowing judgment to go by default evidently is to delay the final judgment on appeal until after the elections, when nis privilege as deputy will protect him from arrest, and even, according to the preva- lent opinion, lead to his liberation should he be in prison.

Murderous Burglar’ Sx. Louis, Sept. 11.—A stranger committed

4 the ordination of the candidate. The following clergymen took part in the services:

ceptable presents from admiriog friends. Dnr- mg the evening a quartette composed of Messrs. Jordan, Davie, Fernald and Tukey sang several selections. Miss Nettie Milliken who was present, entertained tbe company with several finely rendered songs. The sev-

eral rooms were profusely decorated with flow

Brunswick—Charles H. Toothaker to True- worthy Brown mill privilege for 83500.

Steamer Excursion.—The writer was one of a party of delighted excursionists yesterday afternoon with Capt. Chase of the steamer Charles Houghton np the Falmouth shore and Yarmouth river, to Yarmouth landing. The sea alonu the Foreside was like a river and the

scenery of the most enchanting character. The winding river was most beautiful, the land owners having the good tastelto leave the for- est trees on the slope of the bank towards the water, which imparts great beauty to the shore. Our citizens are missing much who fail to take the same excursion this afternoon with Capt. Chase. Let Portland fill up bis roomy steamer and show him that his atten- tive politeness to the pleasure seekers is fully appreciated by our citizens. Tho steamer closes the season this week and we hope he will next give us an outside excursion to New- port river, which is equally as beautiful as Yarmouth river. Com.

THE PRESS, FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Does Farming Fay. The question has often been asked and as

often answered. I have been greatly interested and sometimes amused by the various answers given, but as I am a Yankee I will, with your permission, answer it by asking another; “Does living pay?” Or in other words does it pay to

?reserve our own lives and the lives of others? f it does, then farming pays. If we should

cease to till the soil universal starvation would follow. The kingjand the peasant are alike sustained by the farmer’s toll. The question then naturally arises, should all men be farm- ers? That all men were not made farmers needs no demonstration. Many kinds of me- chanisms are indispensable requisites for pro- fitable farming, and the mechanic is as useful in his place as the farmer is in bis. The min- ister, the magistrate, the mariner, the lawyer and the teacher are all useful in the place that God has assigned them. One prominent reason why so many fail in business is because they are|in the wrong place. If you find a young man whose literary attainments are what they ought to be to teach a town school, nineteen times outof twenty he aspires to something more than a farmer. The late Elijah Wood of Winthrop, said when conversing with my father upon this subject that any yonng man who had taught a few terms of town school was good for nothing to work. My father replied, “That is a mis- take Major, I have a son that has taught more terms than that and is as good a man to work as there is in town.” Then said the Major “He is not human.” Now after making all doe allowance for the Major’s eccentricity, it is nevertheless an incontrovertable fact that educated men in most cases are above farm labor, from the pedagogue to the president of a college, and from the pettifogoger to the chief justice of the Supreme Court.

Oue prominent reason for this is because so few men get rich by farming. And the love of money is so interwoven with the fibres of the human heart that it is exceedingly difficult for au aspiringyoung man to resist the temptation to get it. When he sees a minister getting from one thousand to ten thousand dollars a year for preaching, and a lawyer getting twice that sum for practicing law, he Bays, “Why should I be- smear my hands and face with dirt and sweat for a mere pittance, when others get rich in a day? I will not do it.” And he often chooses a profession or eeeks for an office that he is un- qualified to fill and the result, as we all know, is not unfrequently a failure “The love of money is the root of all evil.” No man should choose a profession simply because he can make money by it. “Look not every man on his own

things, bat every man also on the things of others.” If it is a man’s duty to preach and if he can get bnt one thousand dollars salary, hat can get ten thousand by practicing law he has no normal right to be a lawyer on that acconnt. Or if he can make bat one thousand while a lawyer bat can make ten thousand in the same time by preaching, this does not give him a right to Dreacb. It was said to Adam, “in the sweat of thy

face shalt tbon eat bread till thon return to the ground; for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return.” All men must work and some of them must till the soil. There is no escaping the penalty of Adam’s transgression. In the sweat of the faee we must all eat our bread. There is no discharge in this war; and we are all under a moral obligation to work in the place and in the way that we canin the best way and in the greatest degreel benefit ourselves and our fellow meo, having no reference in any case what- ever to accumulating money for our labor or in trade in any other way than paying a fair and just equivalent for every dollar we receive. Obtaining money by intrigue and deception is postively forbidden in the scriptures and terri- bly threatened. The extortioner is reckoned with the adulterer and murderer, and it is pos- tively declared “they shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” There is a terrible woe pro- nounced against men who obtain riches un- justly. “Go to now ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come npou yon, your richer are corrupt and your garments are moth eaten. Your gold and your silver is cankered, and the rust of them shall be a wit- ness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. You have heaped treasures together for the last days.”

But every man that works in the place and in the way that God has designed, finds a pleasure in it. And in no case Is this more plainly seen than in farming. The farmer who in sincerity of heart offers the prayer of Agur, “Give me neither poverty nor riches,” goes forth to hiB work inhaling the salubrious morning air in perfect health and buoyant spirits. If in seed time, sows in hope; and if in harvest he reaps the waving grain and gathers the golden sheaves rejoicing. His flocks and herds delight his enraptured vision. The best of food satiates his appetite. His desert is luscious fruit fresh from the garden or field. His family and domestics enjoy the best of health. “His wife is like a fruitful vine by the side of his house and his children are like live plants about his table.” Who can say the farmer does not have an equal share of the good things of this world; and when his heart is satisfied therewith, that he is not one of the hapiest of men? Aad who, in this view of the subject, says farming does not pay?—Z. A. M,

The King of Desks.

tbue Jamaica Ginger, combined with choice are-

maties and genuine French brandy, and is vastly su; perior to every other Extract or Essence of Ginger before the public-all ot which are prepared with al- cohol by the old process.

CHOLERA MORBUS, Cramps, Pains, Diarrhoea, and Dysentery are in- stantly releived by it. It will render an attack of Cholera Morbus impossible, if taken when the symp- toms of this dangerous complaint fir^t manifest themselves.

CRAMPS AO PAINS, whether produced by indigestion, improper food, change oi water or diet, too free indulgence in ice water, exposure to sudden changes ot temperature, are immediately relieved by it, One ounce added to a gallon of

ICE WATER and sweetened, forms a mixture which, as a cooling, healthy, and refreshing Summer Beverage, has no

equal. Barrels of ice water, prepared in this way, may be drank without the slightest injury; and hap- py is the man who finds m this a substitute for spir- ituous liquors. Its value to the Farmer,the Mechan- ic, and Laborer cannot be over-estimated. It is so

cheap as to be within the reach of all; so finely fla- vored as to be enjoyed by lovers ot the choicest Jiq-

DYSPEPSIA, Flatulency, Sluggish Digestion, want of Tone and Activity in the Stomach and Bowels, Oppression af- ter Eating, are sure to he relieved by a siDgle dose taken alter each meal. A great want exists for a

RESTORATIVE STIMULANT free from serious objections, yet palatable, even in- viting to the sensitive palate, which will create no morbid appetite tor itself, and operate as an assist- ant to digestion, as well as perform the functions of a stimulant. Such we confidently believe is to be found in

SANFORD’S JAMAICA GINGER, an elegant combination ot the True Jamaica Ginger with the Choicest Aromatics. It is beyond all com-

parison the most healthy, invigorating tonic and stimulant before the public. It is earueetly recom- mended to tne weak and nervous, to more i(.cover- ing from debilitating diseases, and to tbe aged, to whom it imparts warmth and vigor.

HEALTH ! Itia now a well established fact, that

health uepends in no small degree upon perfect drainage.

It there are no sewers, or if they'are ne- glected and out of order, epidemics will rage, and lives will be lost.

The whole system of Public Sewers and private drains must be in complete work- ing order to secure the best results.

Physicians estimate that at least one-half of certain fevers, blood and throat diseases can be prevented by perfect drainage. “The diseases of filth are the agents which pile figures upon the mortality tables,” say they.

The great importance then of this sub- ject being admitted, it is natural to inquire which is the best kind of material to use for drains, etc.

Clearly, it should he that which is most durable and least likely to get out of or-

der. It should not be one which [is the best it ever will be when first made, but should grow stronger with age and use.

Neither should the pipes depend for dura- bility and strength on a thin external var-

nisht hut should be ot fine dense material throughout: and such pipes are made by the Portland Cement DrainPipe Company, of Hydraulic Cement, etc., and are as dura- ble as the rocks.

These pipes are also used for wells, and have peculiar advantages. They are read ily sunk into quicksand by placing a man

or boy inside to bailout the water and sand Surface water, bugs and worms are ex-

cluded from wells so constructed. For Chimneys they take less room and

* are cheaper than bricks.

Stone edging for garden walks, flower beds, and grave borders of this material are

also in use and need only to he known to he appreciated.

The Stone Flower Vases seem to be the best thing yet. They retain moisture and plants flourish in them. They do not need paintingy and do not rust; frost does not in- jure them.

Portland Cement Building Blocks are al- so coming into use. They are cheaper than cut-stone, and as ornamental and durable if not more so.

In the Farrington Block, on Congress street, on the side next to the church, in the upper story, may been samples in the form of three plain shields. (Also in the new brick houses on Smith street, are key stones and window sills.
