A correspondent of the Louisville Jour nal, in the course of a series of renrinis ences of an old connection with that es tablishment, says: For a youn<r man that is not altogether a fool, anti who has had the advantages of an ordinary education, the printing office is undoubtedly a capital school of ad vancement. In regard to general knowl edge, no class of men who labor for a liv ing, can approach the printer. The stu dious among them, if their natural gills be not below the level of meilioctity, havo equal chances with the members of the so-called learned professors, to acquire both worldly honors and literary fame. From the days of Saxon to those of Franklin, and from his day to our own, the craft has produced eminent men in every walk of life. A good printer is generally a good crit ic not only of language and punctuation, but of the intrinsic literurv merits of whatever comes under his hand. It is impossible that he should be otherwise, since so great a part of his life is made up, as it were, of facts that enforce reflection. The labor that employs his hands, gives to his mind neither exercise nor care. His fingers move intuitively to the exact points requisite for the proper apportion ment of his work, while his minu seizes the idea sought to be conveyed by the writer with whom he is engaged, and is only expelled therefrom after his judg ment has passed sentence on its merits Many a one. without knowing it, possi bly owes some unknown compositor or proof reader much more of reputation as a writer than lie would be willing to ac knowledge. If, by changing the reading of a sentence without affecting its mean ing, lie can give it strength or smooth ness, a good printer asks no questions about the matter but changes it at once. And so, if the. grammer of a sentence is evidently faulty, he would be considered unfit for the business, did he not rectify it in this particular. 1 have known some printers, it is true, who could never learn the plainest rules of either composition or punctuation. To such an one might be used the identical words used by a well-known Presbyte rian, speaking to a young, but particular ly silly candidate for ministerial orders. “Young man, you have made a mistake; you have been called to another field—the corn field Si mmei: Diseases.—Diarrhoea is a very common disease in summer time. Chol era is nothing more than exaggerated diar rhoea. When a man has died of diar rhoea, he lias died of cholera, in reality. It may he well for travelers to know that the first, the most important, and the most indispensable thing in the arrest and cure of loosness of the bowels is absolute quie tude on a bed; nature herself always prompts this by disinclining tts to locomo tion. The next thing is, to eat nothing but common rice, parched like coffee, and taken witli a little salt and butter. Drink little or no liquid of any kind. Hits of ice may he eaten and swallowed at will. Ev ery'step taken in diarrhoea, every spoonful of liquid only aggravate the disease. If locomotion is compulsory, the misfortune may be lessened by having a stout piece of woolen bound tightly round the abdo men, so as to be doubled in front, and kept well in its place. In the practice of many years we have never failed to notice a grat ifying result to tollow these observances —llall s Journal of Utallh. llalph Waldo Emerson, in his new vol ume entitled “Society and Solitude,” thus strongly expresses himself: “1 hate this shallow Americanism which hopes to get rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on midnight tables, skill without study, mastery without apprenticeship, power through a packed jury or caucus, or wealth by fraud. They think they have got it, but they have got something else—a crime which calls lor another crime, and another devil behind that; these are steps to sui cide, infamy and the harming of mankind, lu this life of show, pulling, advertisement aud manufacture of public ouiuion, all ex cellence is lost sight of in the hunger for sudden performance and unearned praise.” —Brooklyn Eagle.

IfOKATK FU8SKTT. Bristol, j July 11, 1870. 1 —i i-rr Now and then a feeble cry is repeated by all the democratic journals in the land, that the great Republican party has out lived its usefulness and is on the verge of disintegration. If ever a party showed signs of a vigorous vitality, the Republi can party today shows it. Look at its record under the administration of Presi dent Grant. Only sixteen months, and 138,104,590 of the public debt paid. By vigorous and faithlul retrenchment,' the expenditures of the government are re duced, as compared with the last year of Mr. Johnson, #90,000,000. The revenue augmented by honest collection to the ex tent of $50,000,000. Taxation reduced from the point where it stood at the close of the war, at the rate of more than $150, 000,000 year, and wiihiu the past week perfected a further reduction ot #70,000. 000. If such a record is outliving useful ness—then the Reupblicau party can can be said to have outlived usctuiness. Not othennse. _ OUH CANDIDATE. ]n a chapter on “Maine Politics' the Washington Star of July 26th, says “For Governor, lion. Sidney Pet hum Re publican, teems likely lo walk over the courtu without serious opposition. From presant appearances lie will, with other ele ment* of strength, be supported with a good deal of earnestness by the soldier element of that State, for the vote of which some ot the Democratic leaders In Maine were indue d at one time to throw a tub in the shave of a Republican soldier candidate. Mr. l’erhum's war record •'a*, however, too good to make such an experiment worth trying. In a*le ington, anu we doubt not in Maine, it well known that Mr. Ptrhatn was one of the hard est of tlie hard woikers in the Union cause and especially In behalf ot our soldiers in hospitals, and who otherwise m tded help. He was untiring in bia ctforu to secure back pay, bounties, pensions, 4c., tor the soldiers, and was the author of several ot the more important petitioQ laws, laws Increasing the pensions ot widows and orphans and estab lishing different grades for invalid pensions, Ac.. 4c.”__ Governor Holden stated in Washington some weeks ago that there had been three hundred whippings aud fourteen murders of Kenublieaua in one district of that State, U#klw» numerous Other outrages, lie then iushe*ted his belief that it might be necessary to organize fho militia in or der to arrest those Crimea am) bring the criminals to justice. It is not suipiising hat he has been CtwrpcIJwl lo adopt his tvMtU ooureo. POLITICAL. The democrats of Colorado have nomi tnUt-d George W. Miller of De»W m] their delegate to Congress. General Cassius M. Clay will take the stump in Colorado Territory In behalf of the republican party. A republican convention at Hillsboro', j Ohio, nominated John A. Smith, the pres- j cut representative, as a candidate for Congress from the 6th District. President Grant’s Administration pays more of the public debt in one month than Andrew Johnson's did in a year. Mr. Sumner's lecture on “Caste lias been reprinted in a phainplct at lv'inlal in England. The. edition is tor distribution especially among Mechanics' Institute. A democratic contemporary a-ks, with mysterious and hypocritical horror, wh\ it happens that a large contract for handcuffs appears in the Government accounts dur ing the war. The Philadelphia Press says it can tell him. They were purchased to use in enforcing the draft, and the expense of using them, like most other war ex penses, is directly chargeable to the Demo te rstic party. Clement L. Vallandigham, who is still the leading spirit of the Ohio Democracy, will it is said, he the candidate of his par ty for Congress in the Third district, now represented by Mr. Nehenck. The Albany Journal says it is noticeable, j but not singular, that the leading Demo cratic papers are warm partisans of Napo leon. The Chicago Times, the Cincinnati Empiirer, the Louisville Courier-Journal, the New York World, and the Boston Post are outspoken in their French sympathies. The public can judge tor themselves what is the tie that binds. The Dockland Free Press says the nomi nation of Mr. Hale gives satisfaction in that portion of his district. He will he triumphantly elected, let w ho may ride the “spavined horse'1 of democracy. GENE Hal a Aim. Utah has less than 2,500 Gentiles.

Some recent pardoned convicts from the N. J. Stute prison, at Trenton, are represented liy an enthusiastic ‘‘local" of that city, as having h ft with ‘‘good characters and cheer ful faces.” Kansas for the last year or two, lias been receiving a larger relative immigration than any State in the Union, and it is believed that the next census will entitle her to four mem bers of Congress, instead of one. as at pres ent. Gen. Starr, Col. Thompson and Captain Manix, the imprisoned Fenians, have been assigned to the hospital department ot Au burn prison, and will have comparatively com fortable positions. They arc treated as politi cal offenders, and not as convicted felons, consi quently they are allowed to preaerve their hair and whiskers in tact, wear their own nn 1 der clothing. &c.

Tlie Waterville Mail says tliat recently one W. H. Tapper, ot' Canaan, assuming the name of Henry Smith, hired a horse and baggy of O. C. Holovvay, of Waterville. to goto llurtland. Dining the night he was joined by a brother, as is supposed, and the two broke into a store in Canaan, loaded the team with plunder and started northward. Pursuit was made, and the two brothers found by a Hartland officer; abut not daring to arrest them without a warrant, he employ ed a man to watch them while lie wmt for one. The man looked the other way, and the two thieves harnessed up and drove off. They have since been heard from but not overtaken.

iLoral an* gtote Ncton. Lynda'* new hotel In Rockland was opened last week. We are indebted to the agent of Little’s Express for favors received. The Kali Term of the Ifoulton Academy will begin August 15th. St. Mark's chapel at liockport was conse crated on Wednesday, 27lh. by Bishop Neely. There arc 103 persons in Rockland who pay over $50 each, taxes this year. lion. William P. Haines of Biddeford, has been elected a trustee of Dartmouth College, to fill the vacancy in the hoard. Geo. E. Babbitt, U. S. A., of Portland, Oregon, is spending a few days with his friends in Houlton. The Mail says the Waterville Perch Asso ciation will hold its annual festival at North Pond early in the week after Commencement. The Dredging Machine made its appearance in the river opposite Sturgis' Mill Saturday, and will at otiee proceed to business. The fifth annua) session of the Maine lien- tal Society will be held at the City Council I Booms in Biddeford, on Thursday, August 16th. The newly constructed Congregational meeting house at Camden was dedicated a week ago yesterday; sermon by llcv. S. P. i Fay of Bangor. A County Teachers’ Institute is to be holdcn in Moulton, Sept. 19th, under the direction of of Hon. Warren Johnson, State Sup't of Com mon Schools, and Piof. F. A. Allen, of Penn- sylvania. Will. A. Hatch of West Waterville, a grad uate of Waterville College, class of '61, nnd who did honorable service in the army during the late war, is now a Professor in Girard Col lege, Philadelphia. Capt. Nathaniel L. Thompson is building at lvennehunk a superior three-decked ship, about t'OOO tons, which is well advanced, and David Clark is re-huilding the brig P. M. Tinker, of Boston, at his yard. The Whig says the new bell presented to the Univertalist church in Bangor by Gen. Horsey, arrived Friday from Boston. It was cast by Wm. Blake Co., and weighs 1846 lbs. We learn from the Maclnas llepublican that recently, the house of Nehemiah Allen at Har rington, was burned with the most of its eon- tents. Also the steam mill of A. J. Kingsley at Columbia Falls, including grist, lath, and shingle mills, were burned the same week. 1 Loss of Mr. Kingsley, $8000. No insurance. The Directors of tbc Belfast and Moose- head railroad report that they are $100,000 j short of available funds necessary to com- i plete the road, and several meetings of Bel fast citizens have been held the past week to devise a plan for raising the amount. No plan has yet been fixed upon. The Calais Advertiser tells a story of a clergyman in Washington county, who in the kindness of his heart invited a footman to get into his wagon and ride. The clerical gentle man asked hit companion “if he was prepared to die?" whereupon he leaped from the wagon and fled to a place of safety, doubtless con sidering this question synonymous with “your money or your life Cajit. George A. llanscom, (brother of John llanscom, E.-q.. Printer, ol Biddeford,) com mander of British Screw Steamer Neera was recently presented with a gold medal and diploma by the Emperor Napoleon for saving the crew of the French lugger L'Augusto. The Biddeford Journal says an excitement was created on board a fishing schooner lying at the “Pool’' a few nigiits since. The cap tain's son, about fifteen years old, who is troubled with somnambulism, sprang from his berth, and crying “the vessel's on fire," leaped overboard, lie was rescued as he was sink ing the third time. The Odd Fellows of Portland, with their isiting friends from Boston, had a grand pic nic and clam-bake on Chubeaguc Island, Fri day, and although the weather was unpro pitous the Portland papers say they enjoyed the day very much. The Whig says Gen. John S. Appleton, son of Chief Justice Appleton of Bangor, has arrived at Chicago on his way home from California, where he has lately been pros trated with sickness for several months. He has borne the fatigue of the journey quite well. Base aall. Tlic gaum of base ball between the Pirigos of this city, and the North Star club of Port land, for the championship, interrupted on Friday by the rain, was commenced over again Saturday forenoon. Game was called a little past nine, the Pirigos leading off at the bat, and making 9 runs to the Stars 6 runs. The Pilcher of the Stars then commenced pitching “drop” balls, and the Pirigos not being used to this, only scored 3 runs in the next two innings, while their opponents scored 4, tlic score then standing Pirigos 12, Stars 10. Becoming in a measue accustomed to “drop" balls, the Augusta boys in the next two innings made 15 runs to the Stars 7. From this time the Stais seemed to have given up all hopes of winning the game, playing very loosly. Jn the next three innings they were “whitewashed,” and the Pirigos by heavy batting, aad the help of bad fielding by their opponents, made 13 runs, score how being 40 to 17 in fav^ir of the Au gusta boys. On the last inning the Pirigos were sent to the field with 3 runs, and the Stars went iu hoping to be able tu make runs enough so as not to be beaten two to one. The Pirigos played careless, and the Stars scored C runs, ending the game in favor of the Augusta boys, by a score of 43 to 23. The Pirigos done some splendid baiting but did not play their “outs" quite as well as usual, althongh some Splendid fly catches were made and two double plays by Parker. Moore, 1st base of the Pirigos, filled that position in a creditable manner and as a bat ter has no equal on the nine. Scruton, Capt. ol' the Pirigos, is a brilliant player and by the perfect command he has over his men con tributes in a great measure to tlieir suueess. One other circumstance worthy of mention is their running bases. Ever on the watch they are ready on the slightest opportunity, and succeed where many would thinlt *ncli a thing impossible. The Stars arc a nice looking and gentlemanly set of fellows and are a little heavier than the Uirigos. They lint well hut tlieir fielding is poor in ri spent to throwing and picking a hall up quick. Their manner of catching, however, is very pretty. The Ifirigos have held the “Junior Uh*in pionsMp" successfully against all comptdi tors for two years, anil according to the laws at' the association arc now entitled to undis puted possession of its emblem, the “Gold mounted Bat.” Below is the full score SCORE.

On Friday night a brown mare belonging to Mr. (.’has. H. Whitten, blacksmith, living on the Winthrop road, was stolen from his stable. The annual is aeven years old and is valued at about $i!00. The next morning Mr. Whit ten started in pursuit of the horse-thieves, and found his wagon and part of his harness attached to a one-eyed horse, un th. east side of the river, about one mile from the bridge, and near the house of Mr. Henry Norcross.

I 1 THE CAPTURE OF SPIES. t I Families Leaving Baden for Switzerland Saahucck, July 31. Early this morning a large force of Bazain’s division and four pieces of artillery advanced to this position apparently with the view of dislodging the Prussians. They met a force of volunteer guards who had taken a position a mile Bitd a half from Saarlmck. The Prus sians atfacked the enemy with vigor and after u sharp fight the French were repulsed and retreated, leaving one gun and losing 20 men. The Prussians lost 8 men. London, July 30. This morning the French attacked Saar burckon in a largely superior force, hut were vigorously repulsed. j It is now thought that the Prussian army j proposes to cross the Rhine from Baden into Prance, near Hunhiue, two miles below Basel. There is much activity in German military circles to-day. The French press regardless of politics, promise the Emperor's address to the peo- i pie. The prices of breadstuff's and other articles j at Paris, arc nearly the same now as on the eve of the Austrian Prussian war. Belgium has 100.000 men in position. The English home force is now only 60,- 1 000 men. Paris, July 30. Fighting between the French and Prussian forces lias commenced in Baden. There are four Prussian army corps on the j Rhine. The enemy have mined the banks of j the river. Families are leaving Baden for' Switzerland. A German banker residing in Paris has been arrested and three Prussian spies have also he captured here by the police. Prince Napoleon will soon leave for Baltic, i At the government Arsenals in Franee 30, 000 C’neescpots were turned out each week during the month of July, and in August 47,- 000. In Septemer 52,000, and in October 60,- 000 per week will he manufactured. To-day the Emperor assumed the com mandership-in-chief of the army. He has been hard at work to-day with Gen. Le Bumf, arranging the necessary details. The Prince Imperial visited the camps to day, and was received with great enthusi- j asm. The health of the army is perfect. There has been no serious engagement yet. L It is reported on the best authority that the recent mission to Vienna was a complete success. The government has resolved to form six new batallions of National Guard of the Seine. The entire guard are to receive new guns. Rome, July 30. Gen. Karzler of the war department, pro poses the tonification of the city. FROM WASHINGTON. Washington, July 30. Indian Affairs. Col Guerson. commanding Fort Hill in the Indian Territory, states that the Camanches, Northern Kiowas and Apaches, with few ex ceptions, arc coming into the agency with their hands and will bring all their stolen stock with them, and give assurances that they will cease all depredations. Little Heart of the Kiowas and Tabononiea of the Com unches had gone off anil were reported to have been the leaders of the parties who com mitted the recent depredations in that vicinity. Little Heart had five lodges and Tabononiea about twenty. The C’uibadas have lately had j a fight with the Navajos and lost 20 men. FROM LEWISTON. Lewiston, Me., July 30. Dnmage by Lightning. The Journal learns that on Friday after- j noon a heavy thunder storm passed over Newcastle, and two barns belonging to (.'has. E. Metcalf were struck by lightning and des troyed. The barns contained 40 tons of bay and a pair ot oxen, which wore burned. Loss §2,000. FROM TORONTO. Toronto, Ca., July 30. A special despatch from Ottawa says that Her Majesty by advice of the Privy Council, in acting upon the recommendation of the do minion government, has granted an amnesty to all the parties conmcted with the rebellion at Red River. Great Damage by a Terrific Storm in Mobile.' Morii.e, Ala., July 30. A terrific storm passed over this city to-day. Houses were unroofed, trees uprooted, goods in the stores damaged by water, and steam boats sunk or washed ashore. Tile dry dock was forced from its mooring and driven about eight miles up the river. No lives were lost. As far as heard from the total damage is about §200,000. FROM CONCORD. Concord, N. lb, July 30. Destructive Fire—*LOs» $'20,0'»0. About half past four this morning a fire broke out in the north section of the Northern Railroad Round House, which destroyed about one thud of the building. Three en gines were in the house which were badly damaged by the fire. The loss is about $20, 000 and is well covered by insurance.

The mystery of the Nathan murder con inues without a clue for its solution and its .bsorbing topic of popular comment and onversation. The rewards offered for the leteetion of the murderer now amount in the ggregate, to nearly ©50,000, and the de ceives are already beginning to work gainst each other, desiring to obtain the full mount. A discription of the missing watch ,nd studs iias been telegraphed to all the coding cities in the Union, and Judge Car lo! and other prominc nt citizens are active y co-operating for the discovery and arrest if the criminal. The theory seems to be ;aining ground that the murder was com nitted by some one who was familiar with lie house, and perhaps one of the regular nmates while a Sunday paper openly charg es and devotes two columns to the support of lie theory that Washington Nathan, a son if the deceased, is the murderer. Win. Kelley, son of tlm house-keepMO was xamined for two hours yesterday, but tiis estimony is kept secret. It Is alleged that le was a bounty jumper during the war. [Vo carpenters who were employed in the louse, were also examined, one stating that io mislaid Ids hammer just before leaving >ork Thursday night, and after searching he house over for it, finally found it in the [arret, though lie could not swear that no >ne was concealed in the house at that time. I’he fact that no noise was heard in or around he house on the night of the murder, was ully explained by the testimony oftlie build ■r, that the w alls and floors were deadened, ind yesterday it was proved by experiment, hat tile loudest cries from a person standing rbere Nathan’s body was found, could not >e heard by men in the rooms occupied by he sleepers. All the rear windows and entrances have teen thoroughly examined by the police, and vere found carefully fastened, ami evidently indisturi ed. The murderers were careful ind complete in the removal ot traces of flood by the use of ttic hath. Nu marks of flood or stains except those made by X'nthan. dr., on the discovery of the crime, lirect* suspicion to the inmates of the house. Lt is said that the sons of Nathan are iast ind extravagant in living, Washington hav ng been once arraigned in the police court m the charge of stealing diamonds of the woman with whom lie was living, and on whom he was spending ©30,000 a year. The safe ot the late Mr. Nathan was opened yesterday, and was found to contain the jewelry of his deceased wife and his will, which lias not yet been opened by the family. Mr. Nathan's funeral will lie held to-morrow, rml will be attended by the members of the itock exchange in a body. FINANCIAL COMMERCIAL. New York Money Market. New York, July 30.

GREELEY'S PENMANSHIP. The following is one of the best stories among the many told at the expense of Horace Greeley's shocking chlrography: In May last Mr. M. B. Castle of Sandwich, Illinois, invited Mr. Greeley to lecture there. To this the following reply was sent; “Drar Sir:—I am over-worked, and growing old. 1 shall be 60 next Feb. 3. On the whole it seems 1 must decline to lecture henceforth, except in this immedi ate vicinity, if 1 do at all. I cannot prom ise to visit Illinois on that errand, certainly not now. Yours, Horace Greelf.y. My B. Castle. Sandwich. Illinois.’1 The Illinois lecture committee found the document rather a tough one to decipher, but succeeded at last in extracting its pur port to tbeir satisfaction and delight. One can imagine the expression of the Philoso pher's countenance as he perused the fol lowing reply. Sandwich, III., May 12. ‘•Horace Greeley, New York Tribune— Dear Sir:—Your acceptance to lecture before our association next winter came to hand this morning. Your penmanship not being the plainest, it took some time to translate it; but we succeeded, and would say your time—‘3d of Feb.’ and terms— •$60,’ are entirely satisfactory. As you suggest, we may be able to get other en gagements in this immediate vicinity; if so, we will advise you. Yours respectfully, M. B. Castle.” Professor Wise, the aeronaut, regards the clew to practical aerial transit as lying, not in improvements of the balloon, but in actual flight by means of wings, which can in time be made as large in proportion to tho weight of the human body, and worked as powerfully and surely ns those of many insects and birds. New experiments to this end are developed at each annual meeting of the British Aeronautic Society, now operating under the presidency of the Duke of Argyll, and to whose objects he is devoting his fortune.

II. T. Helmhold, Druggist—Dear sir: I have been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years w ith gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which time 1 have used various medicinal preparations, and been under the treatment of the most eminent physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad vertised, 1 consulted my family physical! in regard to using yonr Eqtraet Buehu. I did tliis because 1 had used all kinds of adver tised remedies and had found them worthless, and some quite Injurious; in fact, 1 despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless 1 knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised thm' it was composed of buehu, cubebs and juniper lierries, it occurred to me and my phys ician as an excellent combination and with his ad vice, alter an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist. I concluded to try it. I commenced to use it about eight months ago, at which tune I vas confined to my room. From the first bottle 1 was astonished at the ben eficial effect, and alter using it three weeks was able to walk out. 1 felt much like writing to you a lull statement of my ease at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer, and see it it would effect a perfect cure, knowing that it would be of greater value to you aud more satisfactory to me. 1 am now able to report that u cure is effected, alter using the remedy for five mouths. I have not used any now for three months, and led as well in all respects as I ever did. Your Buehu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigoratorot the system. I do not mean to be without it 'whenever occasion may require its use on such affections. M. McUOKMIC. Should any doubt Mr. McCormic’s statement, he refers to the following gentlemen Hon.
