[co.NllxlEO FlioU YF.STERUAY.J Nothing escaped Miss Lodemy, sewing by the windows of the little brown cot tage over the way. She watched Elinor out ot sight with a wise smile hoverinw over her thin lips. "She's started to see her aunt, 1 11 bet: and tiie minister went the same way, full two hours ago. IIow surprised she'll be!” But another sur prise was in store for Elinor of which Miss Lodemy little dreamed. Night eame on—a raw, cheerless night. It was too dark to sew longer by the win dow, and .Miss Lodemy prepared to light the lamp and draw ihe curtains. The sitting-room floor, like life, had its ups and downs,—.‘Enough to make a feller sea-sick to walk round here,” grumbled the brisk little woman, as she creaked about, stirring the tire and putting awa\ her scattered work. Suddenly her atten tion was arrested hi’ the sound of wheels. 1 hey stopped at the house opposite, and. by straining her eyes in the darkness, she saw the figure of a mail alight from a close carriage, and, with hasty strides, go up the graveled path to the house. Miss Lodemy grew excited. She felt unequal to observing this all alone. It was high time to call in her sister, and the shrill voice piped out, “Lorany I Lorany!” J he kitchen door opened, and through it drifted an order of fruits and spices, and freshly baked bread and pies. Loranv appeared in the doorway, with her sleeves rolled' up, and a general Thanksgiving doesn't-conie-biit-once-a-year air about her. 1 best* sisters were a curious pair. One, as sharp and slender as tiie needle, the sign ot lnr trade; the other, round, smooth and heav y ns one of her own ap ple-dumplings. _"What's wanting, Lodemy? Don't hinder. I'm in a hurry to finish up tiie work. Seems to me I shall never get through. The pies are not more’n halt baked took me pretty much all the after noon to pin-leather them chickens.” "Somebody’s come!-’ breathlessly ex claimed Miss Lodemy. “Here Good land said Loranv. looking helplessly down at her halj mourning calico, rather the worse for its kitchen experiences. “No, no! At the lleids. A man lias just gone in there. Its so dark that 1 can t tell who he i-t but s'pose'n it should be” “John Douglas!' broke in Lorany. "W ell, well and, unmindful of her liall' finislied baking, she placidly sank into the low rocking-chair, while her sister main tained her post by the window. “Tell you what! Mrs. Douglas will be a happy woman if John has come home,” said Miss Lodemv. "Poor woman! she's had a sight of trouble. Wonder if John ever got the news ol his lather's death "Von can't tell much by them Ileids and Douglasses," rejoined her sister, “they ain't very free to talk.” She took up the poker, and gave the lire a stir. This at 'teution was entirely unnecessary, but it was absolutely impossible for Lorany to sit with empty hands. She was one of the world's grown up babies, constantly demanding a plaything. If she sat down five minutes to wait, she must twirl the scissors, or lidget with the lire, or bite a piece ol thread, or roll the spoolsoverthe table. "There he's conte out, and i» going otl again,” suddenly announced the sentinel at the window.

Surely, this was nothing unusual, lie was a frequent and always welcome visitor at the woodside iariii. 1 here was a strange bond of sym pathy between Gilbert Palmer and Mrs. Douglas. She knew his secret; she only guessed Elinor's. L’ut a mother's soul lias keen iutuitibns, and she felt that Eli nor was lost to John. Xext to her son. Elinor was her idol. She could not bear the thought of the girl's unhappiness; and though her heart pleaded powerfully for her absent son, she resolved to try to smooth out tile tangled skein of these two lives.

Publishers of the Daily Kennebec Journal, and tbe Weekly Kennebec Journal. There is a report again in circulation that Vice President Colfax will be called to the editorial chair of the Tribune. It appears to be a rumor and nothing more. The place is a difficult one to fill satisfactorily. The liberal Senators who enlisted in the contest against the republican party are obliged to take humbler places in the re organization ot the committees. They take the positions assigned them by their democratic allies, and that is all they could reasonably expect. Having no constitu ency to complain to their only course is submission. The continuance of the crisis in the French government puts a serious face on the state of affairs in France. All the misfortunes and discipline of the people of that country have failed to teach them to govern themselves. The conflicting factions it seems would rather have a des pot for a ruler than make the necessajv concessions to secure liberty and a repub lic. lu distributing the Alabama award it appears to us that equity demands its di vision between the underwriters and the owners. Allow the owners ol the vessels the value of their vessel and the premium they paid for insurance, alter deducting Ironi that amount for the benefit of the un derwriters the sum which they paid the owners for the losses; or in that propor tion. This it seems to its would be just and no doubt would be satisfactory. We don’t believe either the one or the other side should pocket the award to the ex clusion of the other. An article in anoth er column takes up this shbject. SECRET All V BOUTWELL'S REPORT. Secretary Boutwell submitted bis report to the President Tuesday. He begins jby as serting that the success of bis department is largely attributable to the efficiency and hon esty of bis assistants in the various burcax, and be recommends that the salaries of the chief clerks be raised. He says that during the year the negotiation ot 8200,000,000 of five per cent, bonds and the redemption of $200,000,000 of six per cent, five-twenty bonds has been completed, and the accounts have been settled by the ac counting officers of the Treasury. Further negotiations of five per cent, bonds can now be made upon the basis of the former negoti ations. As a means of giving additional val ue to the bonds authorized hy the funding act of July 14, 1870, and additional security to the owners, he thinks that registered bonds of every issue should be convertible into cou pon bonds at the will of the bolder. The net receipts for the year were $374,100,807.50; the net disbursements were $377,478,210.21. He recommends that the sources of reve nue be undisturbed during the present ses sion of Congress. The reduction in taxation since the close of the war is estimated to have been $309, 330,171. Internal revenue, $248,051,000.00 In customs, GO,GUO,171.00 Since the institution of the Sinking Fund in March, 1800, and in accordance with the uct of February 25, 1802, there lias been pur chased on tbit account up to and including June 30, 1872, $00,807,000 in bonds ot the various issues known as five-twenties at a net cost in currency of $110,007,185.80, or an estimeted cost in gold of $94,007,248.82. In addition to the purchases lor the Sinking Fund, bonds have been purchased to the amount of $173,237,050, at a net cost in cur rency of $105,008,288.53, or an estimated cost in gold of $103,870,054.35. The imports and exports of the United States, excluding gold and silver, amounted 10 81,070.641,103 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1872, and of this vast trade only 28 1-2per cent, was in American vessels; in the year 18C0 nearly 71 per cent, of our form er commerce was in American ships, but in 1864 it had fallen to 4.0 per cent.; in 1808 to to 44 percent., and in 1871 to less than 38 per cent. The earnings of vessels engaged in the foreign carrying trade probably exceed $100,000,000 a year, of which less than one third is earned under our own flag. The Secretary thinks that the act of Con gress allowing a drawback on materials used in shipbuilding is inadequate to restore our decayed shipping interest, and prompt meas ures should be taken to give It further aid The imports of merchandise for the fiscal year ending June 30,1872, were $020.595,0,,, and the exports estimated in gold were $444, 046,08G, showing a balance against the coun try of 8182,648,991. This balance is in some degree apparent rather than real. On the 30th of June, 1871, the value of goods remaining in warehonses was 868,824,669, whi e on the 80th of June, 1972, it wat 8122,211,206, showing an excess at th« close of the last fis cal year of $58,386,007. The exports of merchandise for the year 1872 were $13,298,933 less than for the year 1871. The exports ot wheat, wheat flour, raw cotton, cotton manufactures, gold, silver, firearms, manufactures of leather, illumina ting oil, and beef, fell off $82,066,825, while there was a gain of $08,767,392 in the ex ports of corn, furs, hides, skins, bacon, hams, lard, leaf tobacco, manufactures of iron, wood, leather, and many minor articles. There was an increase of exports in every brancli of manufactures except cotton, leath er and firearms. Tlie Secretary says that tlie United States mints are in a satisfactory condition. In re newing the recommendations heretofore made for the passage of the Mint bill lie suggests such alterations as will prohibit the coinage ot silver for circulation in this country, but that authority be given for tlie coinage of a silver dollar that shall be as valuable as tlie Mexican dollar, and to be furnished at its actual cost. He also recommends a new issue of nation al bank notes. lie refers to the defalcation of James J. Johnson, hdJ recommends the passage of a law by which Mr. Hillhouse shall be relieved from responsibility in tlie matter of that de falcation. Referring to the report of the Architect of tlie Treasury, he urges the erec tion of a brick fireproof building upon tlie public grounds soutli ot the Treasury, suffi cient lor storuge and the accommodation ol the bureau of Engraving and Printing. The operations of tlie coHst survey, us well as those of tlie Lighthouse Hoard, appear to have been economically and efficiently man aged. The revenue marine consists of 27 steam and 6 sailing vessels, carrying Co guns, anti manned by 198 officers and 860 men. The cost of maintaining the revenue marine has been reduced from $1,294,661.67 in 1868, to $930,249.81 lor the year ending June 30,1872. Statistical tables, prepared from the returns, show that in the essential particulars tlie work performed during the last fiscal year is nearly twice as great as the average for tlie preced ing years. Tlie fact that the compensation of the officers in this service is small, and the nature of the service such us to bring disease and the infirmities of age upon them prematurely, lie thinks it a plain duly for tlie government to provide a retired list, so that tlie active service may be supplied cunstsntly with able and active men. The report speaks favorably ct the lile sav ing stations of the government, and recom mends the extension of the system to Cape llatteras. The Block Island station and the station at Xarragansett pier should be annex ed to the Long Island district. Twenty-two vessels have been wrecked on the coasts of Long Island and New Jersey since July, 1871, valued with their cargoes at over 8500,000, on which the loss was about 8200,000. The offi cers and crews numbered 200 persons, all of whoiq were saved through the agency of the life saving stations. From the report of the Supervising Surgeon of Marine Hospitals it appears llrat during the last fiscal year 13,150 patients were treat ed in the several hospitals of the country, at an average cost of about 97 cents each, per day, or a total expenditure of 8390,2(3.11 against a total expenditure for the preceding year of 8453,082 42, or an average cost per patient of 81.04. The Secretary renews the recommendation for the erection of pavilion hospitals at New York, San Francisco and l’itlsburg, and the erection in future of pa vilion hospitals of wood, with the understand ing that after ten or fifteen years’ use they are to be destroyed and new ones built in their stead. The Secretary urges further legislation to provide for the better security of life on steam vessels. He opens his discussion of the financial pol icy of file government as foilows "The time has come when the attention of the public is turned naturally to the future financial policy of the country. That policy must rest upon the past and the present. The war caused three great changes in business and financial affairs that have received the careful consideration of the American people First—The country was compelled to im pose heavy customs duties upon merchandise, and thus, without general observation, and without argument upon the principles in volued, the nation entered upon a broad sys tem of protection. Second—The government issued Treasury notes for general circulation, as currency, and prohibited banks of issue by state author ity. Third—A system of national hanks was es tablished, and their circulation protected by the national credit. The wisdom of the mea sures, speaking generally, has been estab lished, and, subject to suelt changes as the changing condition and opinions of the coun try and people may demand, they will remain a part of our public policy until the financial consequences of the war disappear.” The secretary anticipates a reduction in the customs duties, but thinks that it should not be made without regard to our industries, and he commends in set terms the tariff policy of the last ten years. He enters into an exposition oi the banking laws of tljo country, anil suggests that the bank circulation should be limited and fixed. The argument in favor of a paper currency, composed in part of United States notes and in part of national bank notes, he thinks is strengthened by the aid which may thus be furnished in resuming and maintaining spe cie payments. The true policy will be found in continuing the national banking system, without, howev er, yielding to the claim for a material in crease of its issues in proportion to the vol ume of paper in circulation. There are two effectual and certain ways of placing the country in a condition when specie and pa per w ill possess the same commercial value. By diminishing the amount of papc-r in circu lation the difference between the commercial value of paper aiul coin w ill diminish, and by pursuing this policy the difference will dis appear altogether. The Secretary closes Ids report with a hopeful view of the financial prospect. He anticipates a great improvement, even front the influence of national causes, and evident ly thinks that much can still be done to reme dy existing evils, by Congress as well as by bis department. THE ALAHAMA MOSEY. The President's recommendation to Con gress that early attention be given to the dis tribution of the fifteen and one-half million dollars awarded at Geneva, is one that will undoubtedly be heeded by that body. The manner of distributing the award or the par ties to whom it shall be paid is a question upon which there is a difference of opinion and one of great interest to many citizens of Maine. All will agree that in the first place those persons whose property wasdestoyed by either of the cruisers named in the award and who have received from no source any recompense for the same, should he paid the proportional amount of their loss from that fund. This would he just and right and would be appro priating that much of the award where it legitimately belongs, and the only question is to whom belongs the balance of the award. The Mostnn Advertiser whose editorials arc always able and very generally correct on disputed questions takes the position that this balance belongs to the underwriters and says “England in the award of §15,000,000 pays for the property destroyed to the parties hold ing the title to that property, without regard to the question of insurance, and it would be positively disgraceful for our government to withhold any portion of this money, upon any plea of insurance. lJecause in the first place, in justice there is no right to do it; and in the second place, in equity, its non-pay ment would work to the direct disadvantage of a class of real sufferers, whose claims were not allowed. It will be recollected that the Geneva arbitrators threw out the claims for war premiums, as indirect. Still the payment of war premiums was a serious loss to the ship owners. Now the marine insurance com panies are mostly mutual, and any money received by them will naturally in the pay ment of scrip or dividends inure to the benefit ot the men who paid those war premiums.' Now it lias been generally supposed that England pays this sum to the United States lor the property destroyed, and equity would require that our own government should pay this sum to such of its citizens as actually snffered the loss. The insurance companies suffered no loss. They were paid by the slrip owners in war premiums and the majority ot the companies made money in that busi ness, that is, their war premiums were paid largely in excess of their war losses, and il the companies are again paid from this award they will then be twice paid for the risk which they took upon themselves. These war premiums were very prop re thrown out by the Geneva arbitrators. They were settling a question between two govern ments, and the only possible way for them to urrive at the amount of the damage to the United States, was to take the value of the property actually destroyed. The fact that a citizen of Maine paid an insurance company in Massachusetts a war pretpium of a thousand or ten thousand dollars, did not furnish any evidence to them of a loss to the 1 nited i States. That transanction, per si, was not in j fact a loss to our government. If one mem- j ber ol a family or firm pay to another mem ber of the same family or firm a sum of money, no loss is suffered by the family or firm, it is no poorer than before the transac tion. So it will lie perceived that these tran sactions furnished no element ot loss for con sideration between the two governments. But when the question conies to the distri bution by the United States, then equity, jus tice, common sense and sound reason would all seem to dictate that it should be distributed among those parties who actually suffered the loss, and the matter of war premiums enters j very largely into the question and forms an element which legitimately belongs to and should be considered in the distribution. The Advertiser admits that the payment of war premiums was a serious loss to ship own ers, but consoles the owners with the remark that they will receive remuneration j in part by the scrip or dividends of mu tual insurance companies if it can only be paid to the companies. If the companies, were all mutual, iustead of perhaps one-half, if the same owners, and none others, now j patronized the companies, and it all the ship owners who insured took out and paid for a war risk, then tho consolation offered might be efficacious. As it Is there are too many "ifs" in tlie patli to warrant expectation of justice in any such round about sort of a way. Again the payment by England to the Uuitcd States of damages for property des troyed, is not in the nature of salvage which the law gives to the underwriter. The whole transaction was simply this. Our government said to Iler Majesty's government, you are indebted to us for damages done by rebel privateers, which you permitted to fit out in your ports. England replied, we are not lia ble for damages done by such vessels. The arbitrators chosen to settle this question suid, England is not liable for the indirect damages, but she must pay the direct damages, and then having decided to award a sum in gross, as a matter of convenience and justice and as the only true measure of these direct damages, they took the value of the property (vessels) actually destroyed, and awarded that sum to the United States. It was for this purpose und this alone that they considered the proof of the destruction and value of particular vessels. And when this money is once paid to the United States, the only question that can enter into the distribution is, who con tributed in dollars and cents to that great sum? That ascertained, it is clearly the duty of the government to distribute the award pro rata, among the contributors. Maine is largely in terested in this. Her ship owners paid hun dred of thousands of dollars in war premiums, ami it is to be lioped that they may have the benefit of an equitable distribution of the award. Distwi. GENERAL NEWS.

Dear Jocrnal :—The brief notice of tlie trustees’ meeting in your issue of tlie 3d inst., needs n word further of explanation, particu larly in regard to the proposed expenditure for buildings. In the plan before the trus tees, two buildings arc contemplated. One ot brick, for tlie classical and scientific de partment and for school purposes only and one of wood, for a young ladies’ boarding school, witli room for about eighty pupils, and wtioliy new, with tlie exception of one w ing. And tills plan will be carried out as fast as tlie resources and the exigencies of the school shall warrant. It is the purpose of the trustees to manage the institution on u safe and at tlie same time on a liberal basis, looking forward and aiming constantly at a steady development of the whole purpose of the school, furnishing at the outset the best advantages and providing accommodations as last as required. Tlie great ditHculty that meets tlie board in the opening of the school, and one not at all anticipated, is tlie want of boarding places, even for the small number of students already applying. And this ne cessity must be had in view in tiie expendi. lure of tlie sum appropriated at tlie last meet ing for building purposes. But the manage ment is in tlie hands of an able and judicious body of men. and witli the foundation already secured and the admirable facilities possessed tlie success of the enterprise may be confi dently predicted.

Mr. Myers of F a., called attention to the fact that this hill it onld turn out of cilice all the assessors, men who had the most admin istrative experience in connection with Inter nal Revenue, and retain all the collectors.

her own way, and it wa* not part of her plan that these lovers should be helped .out of their dilemma precisely In the manner Mrs. Douglas Intended. Elinor never knew what topic of conversation her unlooked for arrival spoiled. “Talking of angels, Elinor,” said Mrs. Douglas, smiling, as she came forward to welcome her niece. The color deepened on Elinor's cheeks. •‘Have I, then, been painting a moral?” she asked. "No—that is—I was tkiuking—we were saving”—stammered poor Mrs. Douglas. With rare tact, Mr. Palmer came to the rescue of hie hostess. “I was preaching a sermon,” said he gaily, “with the splen did firelight for my text'. I had wandered to sunlight, and from thence to moral sunlight, when you most opportunely ap peared. No sermon is complete without an illustration, von know.” “Most logical reasoner laughed Lh nor. It was a hiippv trio that lingered at the table that evening. They lingered so long that Keziab, the help, grew cross, and nrut tered as she baked fresh waffles, “Hope they'll set back pretty soon Keep the work hanging round all night.” No one noticed the hall door's noiseless opening or the footsteps that, guided by the sound of voices, now softly drew near the dining-room. Keziah, on her way lrom the kitchen with a pile of hot cakes, was first to discover the intruder. The plate in her hand dropped with a loud crash to the floor. “Land sakes alive Is this you, John, or a ghost?” was the cry that startled the uncouseious group at the table. The surprise, the joy, the eager questioning that followed must all be im agined. “Did you not get my letters?” inquired John, finally. Letters 1 Not a word lor over two years. But you are here now, ami that is enough,” said his fond, happy mother. But why should John look disturbed and embarrassed at this Ho glanced at his cousin.

The long tedious Illness had been followed by a longer, more tedious recovery. He owed his life only to the tender care of his land lady, Frau Bernstein aud her daughter Uttilie. "We see how it all ended,” laughingly interrupted his mother. “Where is my daughter? Where isOttilie?” “You jump at conclusions as quickly as ever, mother,” said John smiling. It was plain that he was inexpressibly relievet^at her forestalling his confession. Perhaps lie had expected tears and reproaches. “But you shall see." He went out to the carriage and in a moment returned with the slight, childish figure of his wife cling ing to his arm. Later, when all hud somewhat recovered from their bewilderment, John's mother exclaimed, "That this should happen to- i day. of all others 1” “Why what day is it innocently in quired Mrs. John. Elinor's eyes met the minister's. What each read we cannot tell. But what meant I the shining joy of her countenance, and what could have been in Gilbert Palmer's mind that to Ottilie's question he should absently respond “It is Thanksgiving.'’ MOSES M SWAhT" Watchmaker and Jeweller, hi id
