I started a bit as he said that; and just then the balloon rose and went away swift ly and lightly over the trees, while I watched it thoughtfully, for J had got an idea into my head. The next morning I talked it over with Tom, who agreed to it in a min ute; and we shook hands over it slowly, for our minds were made up. When the manager engaged us first, he said our names wouldn’t do a bit. The Tantipalpitis’ name he said, was by rights Bodge. The consequence was, (as I have said,) we went in for French; so the an nouncement of the "Grand Trapeze Act” or “Les Feres I’roveneau” was adver tised all over London. now well 1 remember that bright June day, when, going forward in our grand dresses, all tights, satin, raff, and spangles, we were greeted with a roar of applause, and saw that the garden was crammed with people, in the middle of whom was the great balloon ready filled, and twing ing about as it tugged at ita ropes. “How do you feel. Tom I said, look ing at him. “Brave as a lion, my boy," he say* stoutly. “It’s no more than doing it twenty feet high.” “True," I said; “and it is as easy to be drowned in sixty as in six hundred feet of water.” The next minute we were holding the trapeze bars close to the balloon, waiting the signal for it to rise; and now, for the first time, I felt a sensation of fear, and I'll tell you what it gave to me—the people, instead of cheering us as soon as we be gan to rise, kept perfectly silent, and that seemed to go right through me; for you must know that what we had been adver tised to do was to perform our rope and bar tricks right under the balloon, twenty feet below the car, and that without any thing to save us if we should make a slip. There was no time for fear though; and the next minute we were doing it all as coolly as could be, as we rose to fifty, a hundred, a thousand feet in the air, and floated out of sight. I don't recall that I was so very glad to get up into the car, for the excitement kept me from being afraid; I remember thinking, though, that Tom looked rather pale; then we wrapped up well, and en joyed our first hour's ride till we came down right away in Kent. We kept that on, time after time,.and people came to see us in mobs. The man ager said it was the greatest take he had ever had; and 1 must say he behaved to us handsomely, what with raising our wages and making us presents. But I did not feel easy in my own mind, for the idea was my own invention, and I thought I ought not to have exposed poor Tom to danger likewise; but all the same—I dared not say a word, for if I had, I knew how j'ealous he would have turned direct ly I should think we bad done this about a month and all through that month there was ringing in my ears the words of a woman who said out loud on the second time we went up; “Ah they’ll do that once too often." Suppose, I thought to myself, we do it once too often But then there came the thought of the money, and that drove away a great deal of timidity, as I told.myself that a man might play such antics for his whole life and never fall. Well, as I said, we had been doing it about a month, when one evening we took our places as usual. It was an extra night, and the largest balloon was to as cend our rope, too, was to be lengthened to thirty feet, and at that distance below the car, we were to swing about as usual. You may say we oughi^o ..have been used to it by this time there are things though which you never get used to. try how you will! and this was one of them. The bands were playing awav their best; the people were eagerly looking at the half a dozen trronauts who were to ascend the manager of the balloon was there the signal was given and the peo ple got in. Then the balloon was allowed to rise so high that our trapexe swung clear, when I hung from it by my legs, holding a cross-bar in my hands over which Tom threw ids legs, and hung bead downwards; and then away we went, up through the soft evening air, so slowly that Tom’s hands touched the top of one of the elm-trees as he waved about a cou ple of flags. Uur custom whs to nang quite still till we were up 400 or 600 feet, and then to begin our twining aud twisting; and we did so now, when Tom pitched away the flags, and we went through our tricks, rising higher and higher, with the faces of the dense crowd getting mixed into a confused mass, aud the strains of the band growing fainter and fainter, till all below was quiet mingled in ahum. We had only one more trick to do, and that was to cast loose the bar, and each mau swing by his own rope. I had loos cned my end, the perspiration streaming down the while, aud Tom had done the same, when, swinging round towards me with a horrible white face, he exclaimed, “lien, old man. I'm going to fall.” it's no use 1 couldn't tell you what I felt then, if I bad tried ever so hard, only that in half a second I saw Tom lying a horrible crushed corpse far below; and I felt so paralyzed that 1 thought 1 should have to let go' my own and fail myself. I could act, though, aud did, for in a flash 1 had given myself a jerk forward and thrown myself against Tom, flinging my legs round him and holding him tightly; and then, tired, as I was, I felt that I had double weight to sustain, for Tom'a rope was swinging to aud fro, and as my legs clung around his body, his head hung down, and I knew he must hare fainted. How 1 managed to hold on 1 can’t tell now. for though weak with aU 1 had done, I managed to give a hoarse cry for help, and the next moment I heard a cry of hor ror from the basket work car. Then 1 felt the rope begin to jerk as they began to haul us up, aud 1 managed to shriek out. “No! no!” for if they had hauled ICONiTUOKi* ON tOLKTM rsoa.j

The town ami city elections which have taken place indicate that the republican party is as strong and active as ever. The passive policy, the labor reform dodge, the sympathetic appeals for mercy and consideration for the minority, all fail to break the solid ranks of-the repub licans. In very few instances 1ms there been any departuro from party lines. In many cases where the lines were broken a year ago they have been restored, and the democrats routed in consequence. Wo point to Lewiston, Saco and Au burn, as importqpt places where the re publicans were unsuccessful in 71 and victorious In 72. Wc know no town that shows a decline iu the republican strength. It is sate to predict from the tests thus far at the polls that Maine will east as large a republican majority In September next as in I9t>*. Next Monday there will be many elec tions held, among them that of Augusta. We trust the spirit which lias brought out our friends to the polls so freely and loyal ly in the elections past will be continued in those to eotne. It is only necessary to success for every republican to be vigilant. Town affairs have enough of interest in them to draw out every public spirited voter, but the elections this spring have an additional interest from the fai t that they are heralded abroad as indications of the public semi me lit upon national matters. Our election* already held have been com mented upon by the leading political pa pers of the country, affording encourage ment to republicans everywhere. It is significant of the general approval of the administration and the stability of the republican party, that the spring elec tions, wherever held, show republican gains. In New York the gains are par ticularly noticeable, and in New Hamp shire they lead the way to the State elec tion on Monday next. A DEMOCRAT USDER THE SEORO LASH. Mr. Cox of New York is undoubtedly about as capable a man in debate as the democrats have in the House. He is witty, adroit, and has a never falling flow of language. But in a discussion on Tuesday, oa a clause in the deficiency bill, appropriating money for the enforcement of the Ku-KUix act, this democratic cham pion received a scathing rebuke and down fall at the hands of a wooly headed negro. Tor once the negro was able to meet his democratic txaducer on equal terms. Mr. Cot, it appears, made a general onslaught upon the South, anil in the course of his remarks claimed that the democratic party was the special friend of the negro, but at the same time gave expression to some of his democratic ideas about the inferiority of the race. This proved an unfortunate slip. It waked up Mr. Rainey, the colored repre sentative from South Carolina, who re sponded for his race, with such dignity and force as to hold the perfect attention of the House and completely discomfit the democratic champion. Besides the summary chastisement of Cox as the result of the discussion, the democrats are taught by it the difficult task which they have, to cajole the negro with the notion that they are the friends of his race, so that they may obtain the colored vote. The blacks are shrewder than Mr. Cox and his party. They know to whom they art indebted for liberty. The sneers aud taunts of democrats about the inferiority of the black race have made an impression that cannot be rubbed out with flattering words on the eve of a Pres idential election. They cannot be brought to give their support to a party whose be lief is that the negro was created to be a slave to the white race. This belief is so firmly fixed in the democratic mind that it “will out'’ accidentally, though in the midst of an effort to flatter the negro, as in the case of Mr. Cox. The following sketch in the Boston Journal of the debate and the scene in the House, is one that our readers will appreciate: Mr. Cox, wlio always will have something to say upon all questions, made a general raid upon the South, and in extolling the democratic party, claimed that it was the par ticular friend of the negro race, and that the negroes would realize their greatest good by hanging on to the skirts of that party. In the course of his remarks he made some very unworthy flings at the colored race about their want of knowledge, &o. It was to this point particularly that Mr. Rainey responded, lie showed that, if his race was ignorant, it was because of the opposition of the whites, especially of the political party to which Mr. Cox belonged, and all he and his race asked of Mr. Cox was, that they would withhold the hand of oppression and let them rise to such place and dignity as their iatellectual powers would permit them to reach. He pointed to the fact that in South Carolina the negroes were as two to one of the whites. They had all the power of the State within their grasp, and yet he asked Mr. Cox to point to an act of theirs which was oppression of the white race. If their positions had been reversed, he did not doubt that they would have been oppressive where the negro had showed noth ing but kindness and consideration. With regard to the boasted friendship of the de mocracy for the negro, lie said he took their votes as a criterion, rather than their mere professions, and he told them that the Sup plementary Civil Rights bill would one day come up far consideration, and then Mr. Cox would have an opportunity of showing by a vote how sincere were bis professions of friendship for the colored raee. Mr. Rainey’s speech commanded the attention of all in the House, and the scene was of the most inter esting character. Standing aruund him were the true friends of the negro—the republi cans of the House—who at times applauded his eloquent and well put sentences. On the opposite side of the hall, atrd facing him, stood the Southern democrats, many of them ex-offleers of the rebel army, looking with ill suppressed rage at the presumptuous ‘nigger,’ while such democrats as Voorhecs, Kldridge, and others could not conceal their disgust at the scene, and became specially annoyed when the representatives, by applause, niani. tested their approval of what was said. Mr. Rainey had the satisfaction, which but few members experience in the House, of being listened to with the utmost attention from the beginning, and at the close of his speech Mr. Cox undertook to reply, and doubtless seemed very witty in the eyes of his democratic friends, but it was the testimony of all un prejudiced spectators in the gallery that he belittled himself very much by his pointed way of talking of Mr. Rainey as 'the person,’ ‘the member from South Carolina,' ‘the indi vidual,' instead of using the customary par liamentary phrase 'the gentleman from South Carolina.' RECEPTION OF THE JAPANESE BY THE PRESIDENT. An interesting account of the reception of the Japanese Embassy, on the 4th, by Presi dent Grant, is given in the Philadelphia Press by “Olivia,” a correspondent of that paper at the capital: “Before the magic hour of twelve, 4ur the royal time of day was chosen, ten of the Jap anese highest in power, accompanied by Mr. Mori, the Japanese minister, descended from their carriages and in single file marched slowly into the Executive Mansion. Previ ously everything had been prepared for their reception. The broad halls and great vesti bule had been reduced to excruciating neat ness. The air was laden with the odor of tropical exotics. Above the central part of the great ottoman, in the Blue Boom, ardso a pyramid of flowers composed of Japanese lilies, birds of Paradise, and the long, dreamy, pendent leaves ot the Eastern fern.’ Day light, which was not considered quite good enough for such an occasion, had been care fully excluded, lilts the press, but like this mighty engine, it managed to struggle in, or at least enough of it for ull practical pur poses. Whilst all these tilings were in preparation Secretary pish came rushing in and seized an unfortunate servant, who had accidentally put the right flower-pi t in the wrong place. TllU was quickly adjusted and the Secretary left the place. Then Mrs. Secr’y Fish, swathed in pearl-colored silk, trimmed with the cost liest lace, passed through the rooms. A lack ey followed her witii fear and trembling. As near aa could be ascertained in the distnnee, the hair oil his head stood upon end. All at onoe dulcet sounds were heard. “Take il away.” .The servant stood terror-bound uu til the lady said: “Too much mignonette. We cannot be too careful. Perfume is a good thing in the right place. The danger is be coming too common.” The dovrer-basket was removed, and the rooms were pronounc ed all ready for the ceremony. E irst of all Secretary Robeson -ailed in, and following in his wake were the heads of the Navy Department, in their brilliant regi mentals. As these were not the men who distinguished themselves in the late war the people have no care to hear about them. ’.But tbeir sinning shoulder straps and other finery helped to make the occasion brilliant, the same as a shoal of dolphins at sea on a hot summer's day. Secretary Robeson looked as handsome and happy as cauld be expected. Then eauie Minister Boutwell, in white choker and pal pearl-colored kids, closely I followed by that interesting old greenback known aa General Spinner. Then Spinner was brought up by the heads of the Treasury Department, and they stretched out until it seemed as if it waa intended they should rep resent the “crack of doom." Then came the handsome Saxon Secretary of War, with his officers, followed by Cres well and the post office, and Attorney General William# and hit “heads.” The heud* of the Attorney General’s office are men who have blossomed, fruited, and now ought to be gath ered and put into the cellar for future use, 1 Delano, of the Interior, win there with his force, the most dignified magnate present. Spilled around promiscuously were Judge Holt, Cameron, Casscrly, with nose at an j •rtgle of forty-five degrees; Hanks, with a new shade to his hair, called Paris in aslus; Profeuor Henry, with any amount of elec tricity in his pockets; Speaker Blaine and Colfax—dear Collax who came out and said “he felt sorry ft/r the press; he knew how it was himself before greatness was thrust upon him.” And last, hut not least, the Japanese. The President had fixed himself in the right place in the East Room. To his left were the great men of his Empire. To his right were the ten Eastern representatives. The first five stood a little forward of the other five, be- cause they preceded them in rank. The first five were dressed somewhat different from the remainder. They wore garments which are j never allowed to he upon their persons except in the presence of a ruler of a great nation, and when engaged upon the highest diplomat- io duty. This dress consisted of a blue silk shirt, embroidered with white, which reached J almost to the floor, just allowing the queer, sandalled feet to become visible. This was surmounted by a black silken tunic fastened j at the waist, which did not allow the arms to be of much use. The head was covered by a courtier’s hat of device indescribable, with a long metallic ribbon-like streamer falling j down the back. A stranger costume can hardly be conceived. Those of lesser rank wore the same skirt and tunic, but the head gear seemed to be made of patent leather, banded with soft white material, an excellent invention for a masquerade. The great am bassador, in a sing-song way, read from his parchment, whilst General Grant and all the others listened. Then our President read something to the Japanese, Mr. Mori stand ing and looking quietly on. Then President Grant introduced his Cabinet. There wa9 no hand-shaking. The Americans snapped their heads in the usual jerky way, but the Japan ese gave them the graceful salaam of the East. An Oriental only knows how to bow. After everything official was concluded, then the Japanese allowed their hands to be touched by the Western barbarians. The Cabinet at this point offered their arms to the fluttering lilks, and each Minister took a Japanese into the presence of Mrs. Grant, where the press had no desire to go. We claim there are certain inailienable rights. For the preservation of these we will endure all that heroism requires, and for comfort and support we look to the people.” AT THEIR USUAL TRICES. The Daily Monitor of Concord charges the democracy of New Hampshire with a stupen dous scheme of fraSd to carry the State. It says its information is reliable and from vari ous parts of the State. It declares that it is reluctantly compelled to believe that John G. Sinclair, chairman of the democratic State committee, has actually instructed democratic selectmen to exclude the names of as many republican voters as possible from the check lists, and insert thereon the names of dem ccrats not entitled to the right of sntirage, and assured them that if prosecuted for their wicked and fraudulent conduct the democrat ic State committee will defend them in the courts, and indemnify them against all loss and expense. There it good reason to be lieve that the thing lias been carried so far that an exact calculation has been made, and selectmen have been instructed preoisely what number of republican voters must be excluded from the right of suffrage in each town in or der to secure the triumph of the democracy throughout the State. Hartford, Connecticut, is making an effort to establish manufacturing. A meeting was held last week to consider the matter. A writer in the Boston Globe, says Governor Jewell was pne of the speakers, and zealously supported the object of the meeting. lie was in favor of small compan ies, and said, from his experience as the own er of stock in twenty-five manufacturing concerns, that those with a capital of $25,000 to $50,000 always succeeded, while those of a larger capital sometimes tailed. General Hawley, A. E. Burr, Esq., editor of Times, Hod. U. D. Hubbard, and others, spoke forc ibly on the subject. The result of the meet ing was the adoption of articles of association of “The Board of Trade and Manufactures of the City of Hartford.” Suitable rooms, cen trally located, will be secured and fitted up for the accommodation of the business men of the city. The board of directors will thor oughly examine mechanical and manufactur ing enterprises, seeking encouragement and location, and report to capitalists and others whom it may concern; thus encouraging the really meritorious and discouraging the vis ionary and worthless. Manufacturing in Haritord is at a very low ebb, but this move ment is received with so much favor among prominent capitalists, that it is confidently expected a new era of prosperity will be in augurated. The “Prussian Hercules, as one Her IIol tum is called, iB astonishing John Bull with his feats, one of which is thus described: A cannon is drawn by two horses into the hall where he exhibits; he takes his stand twenty or thirty feet from the muzzle; it is fired. The concussion shakes the building; a cloud of smoke envelopes the performers; when it clears away he is found unhurt, holding the marked cannon-ball in his hands. It would seem at first that this heroic performer should be engaged as catcher by a professional base ball club but his feat is, unfortunately for his reputation, neither novel nor difficult. It was certainly performed in England in 184(1, and this is the modus optrandi: About two ounces of powder are placed in the gun, then the ball is rammed home, then the balance of the charge is put in. When the gun is fired all the powder is ignited, and the Hash, smoke and report are orthodox, but the ball receives repulsion only from the small quantity of powder behind it, and is thrown but a very few feet. The Knoxville paper contains the following curious advertisement: “To my non-paying customers; wagons cannot run without wheels, boats without water, bull-frogs with out legs, nor a hardware business be carried on everlastingly without money, no more than a dog can wag his tail when he has none. My j customers are all good, but what good does a man’s goodness do when he don’t do any good 1 have no doubt that every one thinks that all have paid except him, and as I am clever, j and his account is a little matter, it makes no difference—but it does. All accounts now due, not paid by February 1st, will be placed in the hands of an officer for collection. Those not intending to pay promptly on the first of every month will please buy else where.”* Tlie Albany Evening Journal breaks a lance with the “free lances” of journalism, as it not inaptly styles certain journals which make a great parade of their “independence." It says “The ‘free lances' will carry weight! just so far as the opinion they utter is entitled to consideration upon its own intrinsic merits. But so long as men act through parties, the 1 party journal, broad, bold, intelligent, dis-1 criminating, with a just conception of its mis sion, trusted by and loyal to its organization, speaking its voice an.1 bolding its sUndand constantly higher—that journal will be the true power." The last rat story, and a true one, is that a woman in East Cambridge, shortly alter putting her child in bed, was alarmed by its screams, and going into the room, found a rat firmly holding by its teeth to the little one's nose. He was with difficulty removed. The child's face was severely bitten. A telegram from Portsmouth, JJ. H.> on the 5th, reads in this wise: ‘'The republi cans opened the campaign with a grand sweep of every officer chosen at Newcastle to-day, carrying the election by majorities varying from 30 to 54. First gun of the campaign.” S. AY. Huntington Co. have just received a full line of the celebrated Sratford collars. mar7-t3t Go to S. AY.

Hocal auto *tate Nctos. The Temperance Reform Club in Gardiner now numbers 230. They are doing a noble work in winning men away from their cups. The republicans of the city are referred to the notices for ward caucuses on this after noon and evening, to be found in another col umn. In municipal court yesterday, John Hutch inson was fined two dollars and cost for being drunk and noisy on the street. Refused to pay and committed. We received several despatches yesterday afternoon, by the way of the Associated Press, that the reporter in Bangor must have copied from the local columns of yesterday morn ing’s Whig. Dealers in milk are coming to ‘-see the pint” of giving two pints of milk for a quart, in accordance with the law just passed by the legislature. Having been at work on the sur face they must now come down to hard quartz. Judge Cutting assured the members of the bar the othef'day that this would be a very shortterm of court, unless cases were ready to be tried. And the Judge made the remark as though he meant it. A gentleman in this city says that on Tues day morning last, at 7 o'clock, he saw a bright rainbow in the southern heavens. As tins was before sunrise and the morning in ques tion was cloudy, there are some lingering doubts about its being a rainbow. The pay of the county commissioners of this county has been fixed at three dollars a day each for services while actually employed in official business, including the time neces sarily spent in travelling and in making draughts, and twelve cents a mile for travel. The ‘‘oldest inhabitant” has yet another re mark to make. Never within his memory has he known such a severe drouth during a win ter season as that which now prevails. Scarcely any rain has failed since the middle of November. Wells and cisterns are dry, and the streams are all unprecedentedly low. Messrs. Golder Goodwin's Excelsior Manufactory at Belgrade Mills was totally destroyed by fire on Tuesday night last—a terrible night for a fire—together with an ad joining grist mill, spool factory and dwelling house. I.oss on the excelsior factory proba bly more than $3000; partially insured. These are the only particulars we can learn at present. Mr. Golder formerly resided in Augusta. The regular yearly meeting of fhe Kenne bec Log Driving company was held in the City Hall, Gardiner, yesterday. Ex-Gov. A. Coburn was elected President. Directors: A. Coburn, J. Gray, J. C.

It was voted to drive by contract the coming season, if the directors could make suitable arrangements, ect and various other minor matters were ar ranged. Prom the annual report of the selectmen of the town of Winthrop we gather the following facts in regard to its financial condition: Amount paid for support of schools, $2,437, 83, and number of scholars returned 069. Sup port of town poor, $79C.4S income from farm $7,459; amount paid for highways $2,593; miscellaneous expenses $171,221. Total re ceipts $13,171; expenditures, $12,540.43; cash on hand, $631.27. Liabilities of the town $27,925.81. Resources, $14,255.81. Balance of indebtedness $13,400.00. The Gardiner Journal says in reference to the retirement of Judge Palmer: “Judge Palmer, who retires from the position oi Police Judge, in this city has occupied that office for twenty years, in succession, and we think few men could have been found who I would have performed its duties more accep tably. It would hare been strange, if in so long a period of administering justice, the Judge had not made some enemies; but we think that he has won the respect and esteem of the better portion of our community, gen erally; and he has failed ctf a nomination, rather through circumstances for which ho was not responsible, than from any fault of his, er from any dislike to him as a Judge.” From the Selectmen's Report of the town of Sidney for the year 1871 2, we learn that the amount appropriated for town purposes was $3000. Total amount expended, $2063. 37. The miscellaneous expenses were $584. $1; services of town officers, $523.66; sup port of poer, $336.63. Amount raised for schaols, $1472, and $38 received from the State Fund. The total indebtedness of the town is stated at $34,348.93. Resources $12, 211.79. Balance against the town, February 10th, 1872, $22,137.14. Reduction of town debt during the year, $3,917.50. Samuel F. Ferley, an experienced agricul turist, in writing on the subject of roads, says that the greatest obstacle to good roads is water; whether upon the surface, washing them away, or beneath, saturating and ren dering them soft and muddy, it is the great enemy. Four-fold more waste is occasioned by the action of water than from legitimate use; indeed, comparatively little damage is done by actual wear. To have a good road, it must be dry; even our earth roads would ■be quite endurable, if they could always be ‘free from water. This we see by their condi tion during the dry weather of summer, when they become quite smooth and firm. The taore nearly, then, we can cause them to ap proach this summer condition of dryness, by artificial means, the better will they be. Hnprente Judicial Court.-Cuttlag Judge. TiirnsuAr, March 7th.

A Free Fnbtle library la Aaguata. I wish I ceuld hope that the time for putting in operation in this city, the scheme for a free public library, to whiuh I called the attention of our citizens through your columns some time since, was not far in the future. It has looked to me a great ways, for I received but very little encouragement. Two or three gentlemen interested in the matter did write me a few letters about it, but that was all. I sec now that an association of gentlemen has been formed here called the “Library and Lit erary Association.” I believe, and I under stand it is one of the plans of this association to form a library—to be limited I suppose to those who are able to pay five or ten dollars a year for lhe.usc of it. This would be all very well, provided everybody in Augusta was able to become members—but unfortunately they are not. Now I don't see the advantage of a public library founded upon this plan. If I were able to pay fifty dollars a year to help support such a library, I am sure I should much rather take the money and purchase such hooks as I chose for my own collection, and enjoy it myself. If I could spend only ten dollars, I should also much rather take it and purchase for myself, each year, a few books upon some subject in which I was par ticularly intyested. "The class of citizens who are able to become life members of tbi* proposed association, can every one of them I presume have access to thu State Library but what advantage will it be to that large as well as intelligent el ass of our citizens, unable to pay even the small annual membership fee, and yet who dearly love reading, and who if they could have books to re#d would stay' at home evenings, instead of seeking some kind of amusement abroad I would like to see this class of citizens have the advantages which a free public library would afford them' I be lieve we should see less beer guzzling, less bil liard playing, less loafing at drinking saloons —and in its place more intelligent, better mannered and more moral citizens. There are in our commuty large numbers of me chanics, operatives and laborers of various kinds, who arc in absolute need of information furnished by books. Have we not in our midst a sufficient number of public-spirited, philanthropic gentlemen, willing to benefit their fellow men and get honor and reputa tion tor themselves, by putting such a library in operation? I believe we have. 1 have heard gentlemen deplore the lack of culture among the people of our community, and feel ashamed that we have no public li brary in our city—a city of ten thousand in habitants, and a city that from its very posi tion ns capital of our State should take high rank as a literary community. But who is to blame for it? Is not a place what its inhabi tants make it? And could not these men who deplore the lack of a public library here, have started one long ago if they had set out i for it? I presume it is too late for this newly or ganized society to start upon this plan. But 1 am confident more and larger contributions could be obtained for a free library than for one whose books were to be read only by a few. And I feel sure that I could, single handed and alone, establish a free library here, had 1 but half the advantages which these gentlemen have, so far as influence and posi tion are concerned. Let this free library be started if possible. Let a thorough canvass of the city be made and subscriptions in money from one cent to ten thousand dollars, or from one volume to five thousand be accepted. Pile these books in one corner of some room, the rent of which some of our wealthy men will give, and let them out to any citizen, free of cost, upon a pledge to return the same in two weeks, uninjured except from necessary wear in reading. Such a library will grow. It will receive donations in money and books from residents of Augusta and natives of the place who have moved to other places. There are men ready to become benefactors of our city, when they have the opportunity, and when they sec that our own residents have the welfare and credit of the city at heart. And this work must be done by the educated young men ol our city, men who have an interest not only in its present but its future. I hope much from this new library and lit erary association. I hope it may ere long feel inclined to try this free library plan, and when it is ready to try -it, 1 hope it will ask our city to appropriate such a sum. from its treasury as it can by law appropriate for main taining a Free Public Librart.

The paroxysmal maladies which arc character ized by heat and cold, prevail extensively at this season,taud it is a curious fact that in many parts of llie country where they are prevalent, other diseases, that bear no general resemblance to fever and ague, or remittent fever, assume a periodic type. Thus, in many sections infested with chills and fever, rheumatism, iieuralgia, hysteria, dlar recea, Ac., sometimes become intermittent, thereby indicating that they have been engendered by the same poisonous exhalations which produce the first named disease. In all these masleil cases of ague—for such they are—us welt as in the regular intermittent*, the most sale and reliable remedy thatean be admin istered is Hosteller's Stomach Bitters. Neither quinine nor arsenio are needed, both are in the highest degree dangerous, aud are sure to leave sad traces of their poisonous action in the system, whether they arrest the paroxysms or not. In ninny instances all the so-culled specifics of the “regular” materia medica utterly fail to “break lip" intermittent anil remittent disorders. Bnt the great vegetable Tonic never fails. The spasm of tlio minute blood-vessels which causes the chill, is the result ef nervous weakness, produced by the debilitating operation of an unwholesome atmos phere, and the tone uad vigor givea to the nervous system by the Bitters, enable it to throw off the disease. Thu wiser policy, however, is to antici pate attacks of this nature, by arousing all the la tent energies of the body at the commencement of tlie moist and chilly season, with this incompara ble antidote. By pursuing this course, intermit tents, remittents, rhcumulism, colic, biliousness, dyspepsia and pulmonary affections may always bo prevented.__ Good Food and Plenty op It, produces tlie same effect upon a person who has been starved that the Peruvian Syrup, an Iron Tonic, does upon the Weak and Debilitated. It makes them strong and vigorous, changing weakness and suffering into strength and health. tnarG-f4w3t Special Notucg. New Departure. Something new in journalism.

BY TELEGRAPH -TO TIIE Daily Kennebec Journal. Forty-Second Congress—Second Session. Washington, 7. Senate. Tlie Senate resumed the consideration of the legislative appropriation bill. The amendment authorizing the employ ment of forty additional clerks of class num ber one in the land office was tabled, the question being on tT!e amendment appropria ting $50,000 to he expended by the President in putting in force the civil service reform requisitions. Air. Carpenter moved to strike it out and substitute the following: All laws or p n of laws under which the present civil service reform commission was appointed by the President of the United States are hereby re pealed. Air. Trumbull moved to table tiie substi tute. Carried—40 to It*. The republicans who voted no were Messrs. Caldwell, Cameron, Carpenter, Chandler and Clayton. The only democrats who voted against were Messrs, lfiair, Cooper and Saulsbury. The question recurred on the original amendment appropriating $50, 000. Mr. Carpenter had already expressed his views of this civil service reform and lie hoped that tiie appropriation would not he made. Air. Sherman hoped that the operation of the scheme recommended by tiie civil service commission he confined to Washington, New 4 ork and some large cities where the reform was most needed, because if the President attempted to extend it over the whole coun try it would evidently break-down by its own weight. While lie was in favor of a reform in the civil service he was not confident it could be effected on this plan, but Congress being already committed to it an appropria tion ought to lie made to give it a fair trial i* only to demonstrate its failure. Air. Logan said the system proposed by the civil service commission was a humbug. Two or three days ago there was an exam ination in one of the departments when twen ty-three persons competent for the office, and one of the clerks in the department told liiin before the the examination the name of the man who would get the appointment. He (Logan) did not know huw it was done but he knew the fact. As an illustration of the folly of electing public officers by competi tive examination Mr. Logan mentioned a case which recently occurred in Illinois where the post office department sent a man named Miller connected w ith the department in Illinois to examine applicants. 15y the way this Miller was a disgrace to the State, hut nobody had been able to get him out. In this case there wire two applicants, and in the examination each missed three questions, but Aliller reported in favor of the man fur whom the people had not petitioned and who had not been a candidate at all until Miller went to make tiie examination. However, when the department at Washington received this report with the specimen of the hand writings it regretted Miller's recommenda tion and appointed the other man. He (Lo gan) was'as much in favor of reform as any body but not of this kind. Air. Edmunds inquired what kind of a re form he did want. Mr. Logan hail not fully considered the subject but could state some tilings he would do if he had power. Whenever a man per formed his duties well he would let him alone, and w henever a man did not he would turn him out. lie would also make the term of public officials coextensive with the Pres ident's, unless where removals were made for mission duties. Further, if an officer performed the duties in such a wav as to make his neighbors generally believe him dishonest he would turn hint out. Mr. Edmunds thought it very remarkable that the wisdom ct the country supposed to be concentrated in Congress, having last year deliberately passed a law authorizing the President to make this experiment in civil service reform, to threaten to abandon the effort and repeal the law just as soon as an attempt was made to put it into practical operation. He further agreed with those who denounced this civil service reform as a hum bug and encroachment upon the rights of the people, for his own rights had been un warrantably infringed upnii. In the good old times when he went to the department and asked to have Smith or Jones appointed to office because he was a friend of his, or because he had worked hard to make him a Senator, or some other equally good reason, the matter was generally arranged satisfac torily without any impertinent questions as to the witness of the applicant for the place; but now when he approached the head of the department on the same occasion, he was told that his recommendation was n longer sufficient to secure an appointment, that the President had taken the matter out ot the hands of the members of Congress, and that applicants were now required to undergo an examination as a test ot their fitness lor the place they sought. After a long discussion without reaching a vote the Senate adjourned. House.

snv longer rtf’? must have jerked poor Tom from my hold I often ask myselt whether it was half M gour or only a few seconds before I saw a big rope lowered with a big running noose, and then I’ve a misty notion ot having set my teeth fast on the rope, as 1 felt a dreadful weight, as of lead, drag ging at me. Then I felt that it was all over, and 1 knew that I had been the death of poor Tom, for he had seemed to fall, as I felt the rope by which I hung jerk again violently. I saw the earth below like a map, and the golden clouds up above the great net-covered ball, and then a mist swam before my eyes, and all seemed black and thick as night. When 1 came Jo, 1 was lying on* my back in the car, with a nmn pouring bran dy between my lii>s. My first words were gasped out in a husky tone, for 1 did not know where I was: and then I remem bered bursting out into ipiite a shriek, ns I cried: “Where’s T«wu :j’’ “Here, old man,” ho said, for they had managed to drag us both into the ear, find for the next hour we sat there shiver ing, saturated with cold perspiration; even the men iu the ear being silent, un nerved, as 1 suppose, by our narrow es cape. Tom wanted to go again, but 1 wouldn’t let him. “I did not tremble,” lie said >“it was only a sudden fit ot giddiness through being nnwell.” I went up, though, many times utter wards alone, on horses and on bulls; and I meant to have had a ear of flying swans for a grand hit, when government stepped in, and put a stop to it; and. as 1 said be fore, very sorry I was, for it"was my liv ing.
