I weally couldn’t go down to sap pah with a young lady who wears mauve twimmiogs iu her skirt and magenta wibbons in her hair.” Au English photographer makes the fu'low ingsuggestions: “When a lady sitting for a picture would compose her mouth to a bland and serene character, sbo should, just upon en tering the room, say ‘Bosom,’ and keep the ex pression into which the mouth subsides until the desired effect in the camera is evident. If on the other hand she wishes to assume a dis tinguished and somewhat DOble bearing, not suggestive of sweetness, she should say ‘Hrinh I ha roanh nf j/Kw-Vi iu infnllikln T sbe wishes te make lie* mouth look small, she must say Flip,’ but if tbe mouth be already too small, and needs enlarging, she must say ‘C>b* bag*.’ If sbe wishes to look mournful, she must say ‘Kersbunk;’ if resigued, sbe must foroibly ejaculate ‘S’cac.’ Mme. Le Vert Mme. Octavia Waltou Le Vert died is Au gusts, Ga., on Tuesday, after a loug life, which was not without trouble, but which was also tall of honors and successes. Mme, Le Vert came of distinguished stock, her grandfather being one of tbe signers of tbe declaration, and her father was Gov Walton of Georgia. Shortly after the removal of ber parents to Mo b le,Octavia, in company witb her mother and brother, made a tonr throughout tbe principal cities of the Union and then commcuced the remarkable career a3 a social genius which gave ber world-wide celebrity. In tbe most select circles sbe was baileo by acclama'iou as tbe reigning belle, but this title never affected her higb-toned aud comprehensive mind Miss Walton was a constant attendant of tbe storm iest session of Congress under President Jack son's administration, aod committed to ber note-book >be salient points in tne speeches of Webster, Clay aod Calbouo. With Mr. Clay she was ever favoMte, and ta his memory sbe has given a glowing and ailecionat* u-stimo ni*l. In 1836 Miss Walton married Dr. Henry Le Veit of Mobile, wnose father was a fleet surgeon under Ilecbamoeau, and wbo was present at the siege of Yorktown. In 1849 Mrs. Le Vert was visited by Lady Emclioe Stuart Wortley, wbo was then so journing in this esuntry. In the summer of 1853 sbe accepted an invitation from the Duke of Rutland, and in company witb her father and danvbter sailed for England. Her recep tion in England and throughout tbe cobtinent amounted almost te an ovation, and she added lustre to all tbe brilliant courts to which sbe was welcomed. Returning borne in 1854 Mrs. Le Vert spent a year in seclusion aod then re visited Europe. It was during this last visit that her celebrated “Souvenirs of Travel” were given to tbe public. The “Souvenirs’* were written by udvice of Lamartine, with whom she became acquainted daring a visit to Taris. Tbe work at ooce obtained for its author’s varied abilities tbe at predation of all intelli gent Americans. Several years ago sbe visited the North, and found new fame and hosts of new friends wherever sbe went. In person, Mme. Le Veit was of medium height, witb a countenance in which was blended beauty, in t-ll'gence and amiability. There is not a State of tbe Union in which her departure will cot be mourned by sincere admirers of her wit, wisdom and nobleness of character. Political Almaxac.—Tbe Albany Evening Journal almanac for 1877 bas come to band. It is recognized everywhere as one of tbe standard publications of this kind; and we need cot say more of it than it bas been compiled with its usual accuracy. Tbe electoral returns are full, the statistics have been conveniently arranged, and a wise choice bas been exercised in the choice of matter to be printed. Tbe astronomi cal phenomena, the ioterual revenue receipts, tbe summaries of tbe persons constituting the National and State Governments, the report of the proceedings of Ibe Electoral Commission, the foreign trade of the country, &c., make the almanac invaluable to every one who desires to keep informed of current political events.

Elder Evans, the leader of the Lebanon, (X. Y.) Shakers, has started a graveyard on a new plan.

Mountain locusts, and §18,000 was appropriat ed for their expenses. The increase of French population is alarm ingly small. The births last year were only 106,000 more than the deaths. In 1874 there were about 172,000 more; but in either case the increase is very small in a population of 3G,000, 000. The Indian habit of giving names which can only be translated into awkward phrases of the English tongue seems to prevail among the Chinese, as one of them, a lady connected with the Chinese Embassy in London, is named “The Tottering Lady of Fascination.” An old man named Drunot, who all his life had scrupulously concealed his Christian came, recently died at Paris. On looking through his papers after death it was discovered that he was born in 1793. His father, a rabid sansculottes, had named him Caracaila Salsifis. Secretary of State Evarts was retained in the anderbilt will case before his name was men tioned in connection with the Cabinet.

Don Cameron is about fifty years of age, but looks much younger. Ha is worth botween two and three millions, and never took an in terest in politics uutil about ten years ago, when he was possessed with a desire to be a Cabinet Minister. He is a man of ability, and possesses administrative powers of a high order. Dishonesty has even reached the New York churches.

Experiments in raising hogs upon grapes have recently been tried in California. An ex periment npon a single hog showed that, fed exclusively upon grapes, it gained foity-lbiee pounds in twenty-seveD o'ayes, or one aud a half pounds per day. The grapes were of the finest kinds, such as Flame Tokays, Muscats and Black Hamburgs. Edhim Pasha, the new Graud Vizier, is up in his history. At the late conference, against the French allusious to the Bulgarian horrors he retorted with the massacree of Saint Bar tholomew and the excesses of the Communists. A diplomat taming to Lord Salisbury whisper ed: “He will be at you text with the murder of the children of Edward IV.” An amusing incident occurred ss the uew Secretary of the Navy was leaving his hotel the ether morning for the Department. As he was passing out he was suddenly accosted by a geo tleman, who said, “Is your name Thompson?” The replv, “Yes.” “Well,” said the stranger, “my name is Key. We are both in the Cabi net; let us be friends.” They shook each other by the hand in old time Btyle. Mr. Thompson remarked, “I know we will be much better friends with such an introduction than if we had been more formally presented to each other.” Headers of “Edwin Drood” will remember the description of Opium Sal and the den in the East End of Loudon, at Blue Gate Fields, in which that extraordinary character lived. Through the kindness of a clergyman’s wife, who had heard of her, she was recently offered a comfortable home in the country. She will not accept it, as she says she could not live without her opium. She has smoked opium for twenty years, and without opium r.o nour ishing food would make life endurable. She still lives in the room where Dickens found her. Her chief support is the opium which she sells to Chinese sailors, and the gifts she receives from stray visitors. These are mostly Americans, who seem to he more interested in the scenes of DiekenB’ novels than Dickens’ countrymen. Sal's bed, which Dickens de scribed and made famous, was purchased some months ago by au American, who gave her about ten times more than it was worth. fflIMOB TELEtiRAJU.

NEW YORK, Through Freight Rates. New Yoke, Match 15.—Yesterday through freights from Chicago to Liverpool varied from 55 cents on provisions via Portland to 62 cents via New York. The advance in rates via this port is due to the indisposition of steamship companies to engage room abead in prospect of the o ening of rivers when local freight may become more abuudant.

Workmen Threatening H:o! an«l Violence. Scranton, Pa., Match II —There is a great complaint among mechanics and laboring men of this region. The Mayor says there is great want, but.the common council cannot aleviaie it immediately. Leading hnsiness men say something must be dope speedily or tronble miy ensue, but all agree that the meu are in telligent, order-loving citizens, though hunger may drive them to illegal action. A. E. Kline, President of the workingmen’s meeting held Monday evening, says competent mechanics and toeir children are actually starving. At a meeting of the common coun cil an attempt was made to appropriate £15,000 for relief; but this met great opposition and was finally referred to a committee. A working man addressed the meeting.and said if nothing was done for the poor, they would take the matter iuto their own hands. There were fine stores along Lackawann® avenue, and they would help themselves. At this stage there was a commotion, and the Mayor, rushing for ward, said lie could cot permit such threats. There was a great uproar gnd cries of “We will have bread or blood The meeting of unemployed in the evening was orderly, and the speeches, though counsell ing moderation, denounced tie Council for not providing work. Kelief committees were form ed, and it is believed the citizens will also or ganize relief committees. COAL MATTER?. Bail Condition of Companies. Kew York,March 15.—Some sinister rumors are abroad about the fiuaucial conditiou of the Pennsylvania Coal Co., hinting that the com ing large sale of Pittston coal results from the absolute necesity of raising money immediately to silence pressing creditors; that the debts of the company are nearly £6,000,000, while the assets are only £2,000 000, including everything perishable in equipments, barges, &c. One thing is certain, that the coal companies are in a most impoverished condition, and the banks here are loaded with their securities, ou which they have advanced amounts above par, where as they are now selling forty or fifty i er cent, below. For this reason, the banks refuse to auvaDce iurmer, anu are tnrowing me stocks on the market. Reduction cf iVaget. Wilkesbarre, March 15.—Charles Parish, under bis contract to mine coal for the receiv ers of the L-higli and Wilksbarre companies, has reduced the miners wages 15 per cent. The miners have stopped work and will hold a meet ing to-morrow to protest against the reduciion. They also ask a guarantee from Parish that they be paid for their work. If the latter is dune they will probably submit to the reduc tion. A Store Robbed, Burned and the Pro prietors murdered. Washington, March 15.—This morning the store ot Fielder Magrudv near Henning’s sta tion on the Hiltimore Potomac Itailroad, was burned. The bodies of two men, Ebenezer Large and his son John, who slept in the store, were burned almost beyond recognition.

The Standard announces that the eabicet council summoned for to-day was counter manded late last night. Tbe Post speaks as follows in a leading editorial, apparently on au thority: We'muat wait a few days bafore weean as sert that peace is really established. English doubts aud verbal alterations are now remitted t St. Petersburg; answers and explanations must be ex, hanged A certain point amongst several others presents obvious difficulties. Tho ftussian government wishes that the Turks im tm r»—im wirrT-inrirTmuimMiMBl mirri~~~~~' should lead the way io disarming, whereas 1 Turkey may naturally rejoin that it behooves 1 Russia to set the example in this respect. A dispatch irom Belgrade reports that much discontent exists in Servia. A part of the militia refused to give up their arms when ais- f banded. New bauds of insurgents ate conti- nually appearing in certain districts of Bosnia. 1 Several thousand Ledifs have been sent against them. i The Times Berlin correspondent says that the treaty between Great Britain and Kberat has occasioned very bitter comments iu the Russian journal?. A Vieuua correspondent of the Times re- f ports that doubts have arisen which considera bly dampened the sanguine expectations of peace entertained on the first news of the pre- posal. It is scarcely to be expected that Turkey would accept disarmament iu a form which makes it binding for her, and quite i opt'oual for Russia. moveuieut of z'i'oopa. The Times'St. PeD-rburg correspondent em pholically declares that the lormation of the new Russian army corps ought to cause no alarm. It is merely an ordinary measure of army reorganization. A Vieuua despatch to the News says: Eighteen thonsaud National Guaras are order ed to he ready iu Herzegovina in three days. The President has determined to appoint 1st Lieut. Greeu Olay Goudloe, Paymaster of the Marine Corps, in place of Maj. Cash, deceased. Germany Sides With Bowiin. The Times correspondent at Berlin says there is no doubt of llio general correctness of the ar ticle ia the Moscow Gazette which declares that lgnatieff while at Berlin was informed that iu lhe event of a Russia Turkish war. Ger many would not object to declare that Russia was actiug lor her, and would strive to induce the ether powers to do the same Arrest of Hoftas. A telegram from Constantinople Kith inst., received via Barcharest, announces that sever al Sottas have been arrested for posting pla cards denouncing Midhat Pashas banishment. The Peace with Servia aud tbo territorial Cessions is claimed by Montenegro. General Amnesty Proclaimed. London, March 10.—The Times Berlin dis patch anuouDces that the Sultan has proclaim ed general amnesty in Bu garia. The English austver to Russia's proposals is expectsd to oc casion further negotiations of a friendly and pacific character. The Russian teitgtapb'C iiPHnfv inf.irrtiinj tliA Rnvuiun nr poweis have agreed lo accord Turkey a a res pite and devise means of securing the execu tion of reforms which will obviats the necessi ty for military measures. Turkey and England. The St. Petersburg correspondent cl the Dai ly News telegraphs: The only question he tween Russia and England now is wnelher Russia or Turkey shall disarm. The Standard’s Berlin dispatch leports that Trince Bismarck at a Parliamentary dinner in the course of some explanatory remaiks on his recent speeches inveighed against Prussian particularism declared that Germany did not want to be made like Prussia, but that rather that Pnssia should be Germanized. The Times’ leader says the supposition is reasonable that Geo. fgnatieff would not have altered his programme to come to London, un less there were well grounded expectations that a formula could he produced unobjection able to either party. CHEAT liitiTAlA. American Railway Credit in England. London, March 15.—The Times says that Umteo States railway securities are occupying the public attention more than ever before. Suspicion extends more or less to every railway in the Union, souud or unsound. If the Amer ican railway companies do not cause their man agers and agents to put their mortgagees aud creditors in the clearest light, there will be an end to American railroad credit hero before many days. Stir Henry Elliott. London, March 16.—The Standard announc es in an official form that Sir Henry Elliott will very shortly resume his duties on as Ambassa dor from Great Britain to Constantinople, aud it is probable Elliott’s return will be followed by that of the ambassadors of other great pow ers.

PER ORDER TOWN COMMITTEE. Dr. Schbkck’s Standard Remedies. The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs are Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Sea Weed tonic, and Schenck’s Mandrake Pills. and, if taken before the lungs are destroyed, a speedy cure is effected. To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treatment of pulmonary diseases. The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in luc iuugo, uiiiuib luiuno u uu uj an car,* CAjivtluia tion, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough will throw it off, tne patient has rest and the lungs begin to heal. To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Schenck’s Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver Schenck’s Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing all obstructions, relax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and tbe liver is soon relieved. Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic Is a gentle stlmulaut and alterative; tbe alkali of which it is composed, mixes with the food and prevents souring. It assists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a healthy condition, so that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the patient will surely get well if care is taken to pre vent fresh cold. All who wish to consult Dr. Scbenck, either per sonally or by letter, can do so at his principal office, corner of Sixth and Arch Sts Philadelphia, every Monday. Schenck’s medicines are sold by all druggists throughout the country. maleod&w2msu “HAIL GENTLE SPRING” The Paper Hanger Is abroad in the land and says that it is his CANDID OPINION that the newest patterns anil lowest prices in WALL PAPERS are to be found at H.

This will give Mr. Gossin an excellent opportunity to display bis ability, and our citizens a ill i.o doubt be wise and secure seats early. The Revival Meetings. These interesting services continue to be at tended with growing interest; and this proves what has been o'ten previously demonstrated, that when people are interested in religion they have no difficulty in finding time to attend on church services. One other thing also it suggests, and that is whether the time is not near, or has not now arrived, when our fathers may institute a brief daily service, morning and evening, for half an hoar, so that our churches may be opened every day, for a brief time at least to those who would gather a little spiritual strength to stern the tide of worldiiness and sin. The morning prayer meeting and Bibl9 talk were fully attended yesterday and were pleasant seasons to those present, crowds gather at Free St church in the morning and afternoon, and at Slate St. and Pine St. churches in the evening Last evening, at Stale St. the services commenced by singing hymn No.65— ‘Hallelujah, ’cisdone.” Before the first prayer Mr. Needham read a communi cation from Calais, telling of a work of grace there and asking for the prayers of Christians for its further progress. Rev. Mr. Hjacks offered prayer. Hymn No. C4 was sung and daring the singing a collection was taker. Mr. Needham read part of the U.h chapter of Hebrews—referring to the validity of the testa ment or covenant of Christ—a glorious chapter and presenting precious truth. No. 33 was sung—“Remember me.” The text was in Heb. 9:26—“Then must be often have suffered so.” The apostles refer to the Lord Jesus Christ. There aro two words here translated world. One means the material world, the other means age and dispensation. Christ came info the world; this is an historian fact, well attested; and He came on no idle errand. He came to put away sin by the saciifice of Himself. Sin is a great barrier between God and mao. Now is this to he removed? Christ is to do it by the shedding of his own blood. Only in ono way can sin be put away, and that way is Christ. In the old Jewish dispensation the smoke of numberless sacrifices was cod. stantly ascending; but they did not tako away sin. They did indeed accomplish a certain ceremonial purification which was a type of the better atonement and sacrifice that was to :ome; and that sacrifice was Jesus. Ihe Jewish law or sacrifices could not put nial, no fasting can serve to put '.way sin. Nor can holy living remove it. Martin Luther tried fasting aud self-denial and Chalmers, by holy living, tried to put away the sense of sin. They tried in vain. Nor can death or hell remove sin; no purgatorial fires, nor men, nor angels, nor devils can remove sin. What then can pnt it away? The text tells us, “Once in the end of the ages Christ appeared to put away sin.” Turn irom all other means to Jesus, for He is held up to us as our atonement. Iu Jeremiah 10th chapter, we are told that God can pardon because a sacrifice has been found. In Nebe miah 9th chapter, we read that God delights to Dardou as a sacrifice has been offend In Isaiah 55th chapter, we learn that God abun lantly pardous because a sacrifice has been :onsumed. In Acts 5th chapter, the apostle iells us that pardon comes through Christ; and n the 13th chapter ot Paul tells us that through his man—that is Jesus Christ—we can, if we telieve, be freed from our sirs. If we will only teiieve that Christ died for us, we are saved, f we only believe we are saved, no matter vhat onr feelings may be. We are to look to Christ’s finished work—aud that is a fact that :an be received by faith—if we believe in that ve are saved. Latusrest on this firm foun iation, for all beside this is shifting sand Mr. Stebbins sung a solo—“There is a pardon or you,” aud Mr. Needham offered prayer and ironouneed the benediction. The afternoon meeting was held as usual aud ras fully attended. Pine street church was rowded, and part of the choir suug for them. Irs. Needham addressed the congregatiou,and ther addiesses were made. The appointments are as follows: Morning leetiog at 9 a. m. Preaching iu the City Halj t 7J p. m.

The New York Mystery —The dispatch printed yesterday morning stated that on the body of James Kiogam was found a passagr ticket for England by tbe steamer Scandina vian, in the name of J. D. Moore, and it was inferred that Kiogam sailed from Portland Iasi Saturday and left the ship at Halftax. The Scandinavian has noi sailed from this pori since last Janaary. Tbe Sardinian sailed Iasi Saturday. But it appeals, on enquiry at tbe office in this city, that no ticket h> s been sold to any passenger under tbe name of Kiogam 01 Moore. Tbe probability is, therefore, that the name of the steamer, should bo Sardiniau in stead of Scandinavian, and that Mr. Kiogam bought his ticket, under the name of Moore, it Canada, and at the time of bis death was or Iris way by the Intercolonial route to Halifax, intending to join the ship there. Tbe latest theory from St. John is that Kin gam, wlio bad been lying down in bis berth ir the Pullman, and ccmplaiued of headache ai Welford station, and while the train was takins water stepped out of the car to take some fresl air, that he must have been seized and taker to the pile of poles referred to in the despatch and there murdered and his body laid on thr track for the down coming train to run over, This theory is sustained by tbe following facts: The body shows that a jack-knife was plunged deeply intoKiugam immediately behind one oi h'S ears, the flesh being cut down towards the neck about two inches: tbe tbtoat was then cut from ear to ear. Kiogam would appear tc have been held dowa uutil he bled to death, the blood making a bole in the snow alongside the poles about two feet deep. His own hand kerchief was used to wipe tho blood from tbe neck, and then, thoroughly saturated, was dropped in the bole made by his blood; tbe fqur-bladed jack-knife which had Jbeen used was found near tbe spot; tbe two coats had been removed from his person and were lying on tbe poles; two empty pocket-books were found with the coats; the large sum oi money named in tbe first despatch was found in the pistol pocket in tbe rear of his pants. The body, when found, showed that it bad been struck by the cow-catcher and thrown off the track, only one of the aims being broken. One arm shows three cuts, as if received from a knife while defending himself. Of tbe money found on his person were 850 in United States gold and less than 85 in Canadian cur rency. There is great excitement along the 1'me of the railway, and the railway authorities have determined to have a thorough investiga tion. Oratory.—Mr. J. Banks McKenzie, the well known and eloquent temperance lecturer, and Superintendent of the Appleton Home for Inebriates, in Need him, Mass., is to give a lecture in City Hall Monday 6veniDg for the benefit of this most excellent and Christ an institution. It will be woitb an ef fort to hear Mr. McKenzie, but in addition there will oe speaking by the noted Boy Ora tor, J. Harry Shaunou who, although but seven years old, is called by the New York press, the most finished orator and.elocutiouist the world has ever known. His^voice is strong and rich, his intonation perfect, his gasticulation beauty in itself. Noon Prayer and Temperance Meet ing.—The meeting yesterday noon at No. G3 Commercial street, was another large and enthusiastic one, and the interest is daily in creasing. Toe Itev. Mr. Wilson delivered a forcible discourse, and was followed by several reformed men. Last evening the club room was crowded to its utmost capacity, and seven teen earnest and injeresting speeches was made by members of the Club aud Ladies Aid Society, aud tx President Libby of Dry Mills. The meeting this noon at Store 03 Commer cial strett, at 12.30, will be rt-conducted by Christian temperance workers. Patrons of Husbandry.—The executive officers of the Petrous of Husbandry are still in session at the City Hotel. They have secured the services of L. H. Daggett of Jay, as ageotoftlie store, wired will be opened early next Week The store is on Cam mercial street and will be supplied with groceries,farming utensils aud id fact nearly every thing desired by the grangers throughout tbe state, It will b® wholesale only. ^Portland and Ogdensburg —Mr. Brig ham, the President of the Vermont division of the Portland and Ogdensbutg road, says that bis division of the road is graded for its entire length and that but fourteen miles of iron re main to be laid. The loud will fcc in running order to Swanton by the middle of June. The branch from Burlington to connect with the Ogdensburg will open for travel by July 1st. Social Gathering —The members of Bot woitti Post had a delightful time at Grand Army Hall last eveuiug. There was a large attendance and the programme, as published .veswruay, passed on very smoom y. The ladies served a splendid supper in the banquet hall which was rel'Sbed by ail. The order of dauces was short bu! nearly all the company joined in. Dan’lDbuce.—To-morrow evening Mr. E L. Davenport appears at Music Hall in W. S. Gilbert's last great play, “Dau’l Diuce.” There should be no necessity of bespeaking a warm welcome for so accomplished an actor in so line apart. The onportamties to see Mr. Daven port in Portland are rare and net to be tu-ssed when they do present themselves. He will be supported by the Jarett Palmer company. Postponed.—The fair in aid of tbe Reform Club has beeu postponed until the 27tb, 28;h and 29;b, after tbe closeof the revival meetings. W here to Save the money. Mr. Editor Tour columns, tbe Mayor's ad dress, and the public jadgment agree to the necessity of reducing the expenses of the city. Let us see what, in a few items, is practicable. Mayor Butler will no doubt cousent to take §1,200, and thft in spite of the fact that the same talent, time and labor would command perhaps three times that amount in bis profes sion. Three liundrid dollars saved in this item. Tbe City Clerk is in proportion to the capacities required far bis duties tbe best paid, nay, tbe most extravagantly paid officer we have. Taking into account the perquisites of tbe office, a salary of §300 is ample. Aplenty of competent gentlemen can be found to take the place at that figure, with the “incidentals” at tached. It is now §1,200. City Liquor Agent should have not over §800. a saving of §200. The salaries of tbe civil engineer department should be cut down to §4,000, instead of §4 900 as now. City Marshal §1,200, now §1 050, a preposterous figure for this town and under the circumstances. In regard to tbe policemen their places can be filled for §050 eaoh. They now get §800, the same as in war times. Street Commissioner §1000, the present salary of §1 400 is oat of all reason fur an officer of no professional acquirement The office of Super intendent of Schoo's ought to he, if it were practicable under tbe school act, abolished. No reflection upon Mr Hunt is intended, but we bad good schools before bis day, and could have them still without a superintendent, and with such a committee as we have. There are com petent men who will fulfil the duties of the office satisfactorily for §1 200. The present salary is said to be §2,500. Tbe fig ures for it do not appear in the last muni cipal register. Tbe clerk of tbe street department gets §900. Tbe work can be done for §150 less. In fact there is no need of the office at all; it has bee i established hut a lew years. Truant officer, the place should be abolished, a saving of §750 Tbe school agency, as a distinct office, can be dispensed with. Mr. Fox bas, as we all know, saved the city money; uui iu uur opinion uu tor city uuuuiugs, eugiue bouses, school bousus, ward rooms, etc., should be put iu charge of one responsible person at a small salary. A good officer in this position could save tbe town five limes bis salary every year by judicious management. Here then is a practicable economy, but uot of a definitely specifiable amount. The outlays for tbe street department should be cut down remorse lessly by tbe amouut of $10,000. This cau be done if the status quo is only maintained and no new enterprises attempted, as opening new streets, additional paving, aud the like. Much that it is desirable to have done should have to go-by until better times; only tbe inexorably necessary should command tbo outlay of money. There is a long chapter of details iu this department calling for curtailment; but this is enough for one writing. Tax Payer. “Cling Ihe Oil Drier! llerinil’’. Mr. Editor:—The bearer of this euphonius title, who has been described so frequently of late iu tbe “Maine Farmer” and Portland Transcript,” visited Cranberry Isle,two or three years since, clad notwithstanding the in clemenency of the weather in clothiug which scarcely sufficed to cover him; an old pair of duck trousers being the most conspicuous por tion of his attire. He was accompanied by two dogs—who shared bis couch and fare, wherever he went. He professed an aversion to sleeping in a bed, saying he had accustomed himself t_ rougli fare in his wanderings, know ing people would not bo willing to take him in aud give him very good quarters. It is said his name was Edward KiDg, aDd that he belonged to a respectable family. He appeared to be educated, but the equilibrium of his faculties had been upstl, aud he had become an object of pity aud aversion. He was an expert at tin soldering acd clock-fixing. At the crowing, of a roustei he would clap hi'1 hands to his ear# and scream—and there was a fanciful tradition that having wronged in his .youth a young woman wbo had been attached to him, he had afterwards murdered her; and while burying her in the weird huurs alter midnight, was startled from his unhallowed employment by the ‘‘crowing of a cock.” Whether any one rea'ly knows any of the facts of his early history, of course we can’t say, but his is truly a pitiable condition in what ever light we view it. Hancock. Gorham. The citizens weekly temperance meetings in Gorham are still well attended and interesting. The Congregational church was well filled on Wednesday evening to listen to a lecture from Mr. H. W. Bryant of Lewiston, a reformed man. Mr. Bryant took the pledge five years ago and siuce that time has been actively en gaged in the wotk of reform in Maine and oili er states. He is a pleasing speaker and tells his experience in a ten year’s course of drunk enness in very affecting manner. Town Kleciions. Appleton.—Selectmen, Jedediah Simmons and J. A. Sherman.

Singular Duath.—Last Saturday, Eays the B'ddeford Times, a sister of J. W. Gilpatrick of that city, died under somewhat singular cir cumstances. The young lady being ill sum moned a physician Bnt little can be learned in regard to the case but from what informa tion can be gathered the lady had some diffi culty in the bead, neuialgia, earache or Borne such complaint and the physician administer ed a small quantity of ether, but that failing to bring relief morphine was injected twice, it is said in small quantities. This was about ten o’clock in the forenoon. Shortly after she be came insensible and her breathing was such that her friouds became alarmed acd summon ed quite a uurnber of other physicians one after another, but none could bring her relief, and she died about eight o’clock that evening. She appeared like one whoso nerves were entirely prostrated. She would breath four or five times in the space of five minutes—four or five quick respirations and then all breathing ap peared to cease for about five minutes when another four or five respirations would ensue. To many she appeared as if dead at times for hours before she finally ceased to breath alto gether. STATE NEWS. AROOSTOOK COUNTY.

POETRY. Rondel. O foolish heart! thy joy may turn to grief; The brightest day will'darken, being brief. In happy eyes unhappy tears may start; The fairest flower, unfolding leaf by leaf, Must, in full blossom, with its petals part— O foolish heart! O careless heart! the clouds will veil the sky; With swift advance the winter draweth nigli, And soon in gloom will glowing light depart; The song may falter with the weary sigh— The throbs of anguish with thy pulses start— O careless heart! O happy heart! content with passing joy, Charmed by the strains the minstrel birds employ, Whore golden sunbeams through the brauchef dart; Thy brimming chalice is without alloy— Without the bitterness the years impart— O happy heart! __—Cassell’s Magazine From the Maine State Press of March 15,1877. History of Seven Hays. The New. lor the week ending Wednesday Night, march 14th. NATIONAL CAPITAL. The Senate in executive session Saturday con firmed nil the Cabinet appointments by a nearly unanimous vote. The two dissenting votes were cast by Democrats. All rumors connecting Senator Blaiuo with any movement to defeat the confirmation of the Cabinet, are declared by his friends to be purely sensational and groundless. He is known to have been among ne,Cou To Examine the Several Branches of the Civil Service—Challee, Conkling, Merrimon, Windom Eaton.

Senator Blaine, in view of the possibility that the President may not recognize Packard or Chamberlain, is very earnestly in favor of having, by consent of all parties, a new elec tion in Louisiana and South Carolina, and has so expressed himself to President Hayes. Mr. Blaine believes this could now be had by com mon consent of all political organizations, and could be conducted in a peaceful mauner, free from the entanglements of the Presidential contest. The result would bring peace and con tentment to those states more cett&iuly perhaps than any other mode of adjustment which is now practicable under the peculiar surround ings of the case. The question of conflicting claims of Hampton and Chamberlain to the [governor ship, came up in the Circuit Court at Charles ton Tuesday. As it involved the invalidity of a commitment by a trial justice appointed by the Governor, Judge Reed decided that the au thority of the trial justice must be respected as that of a defacto and dejurc officer of the state. This decision establishes the legality of the Hampton government as to the Charleston cir cuits. The other circuit judges throughout the state had already made similar decisions. The position of President Hayes on the Lou isiana and South Carolina governments, as stated by one who assumes to know, is one of great embarrassment. In his own conscience he is convinced that upon a fair election, with out intimidation, both Packard and Chamber lain would have been chosen by majorities ranging from twenty to forty thousand. He is also convinced that the Returning Boards in Louisiana and South Carolina were created for the purpose of eliminating fraud from the bal lot box, and for preventing the party that practices intimidation from profiting from its crimes. He regards the action of the Returning Boards through which Packard and Chamber lain were declared to be elected as the exercise of a lawful jurisdiction, necessary for the pro tection of weak voters, and for ths repression of lawlessness and crime. In common with a vast majority of the Republicans in the United Stales, President Haves has no doubt what ever as to the validity of the title through which Packard and Chamberlain have become de facto governors; but the President is confronted ernors can maintain his position for a single hour without the protection of the United States trcops. He is not permitted to decide which Governor has a valid title to the office, but he is bound to determine whether a state govern ment, too weak to stand alone, shall be propped up for four years by federal bayonets. If it were conceded on allsides that the Packard and Chamberlain governments were lawfully chos en, it would still be a grave question whether the army should be detailed to execute the writs of their courts aud protect the executive officers from the violence of the mob. Tbe constitution authorizes him to suppress insur rection and violence iu the states, but he is doubtful whether the constitution warrants the maintenance of a perpetual guardianship over state governments too weak to stand alone. A Southern trip is contemplated by Vice President Wheeler. Stanley Matthews says the President desires a commission of eminent public men to go to Louisiana and try to get the opposing claimants to the governorship to agree to a plan of settle ment. A New Orleans despatch says the legislative caucus has agreed to postpone the election of a Uoited States Senator, under the advice from Washington. A letter from Wade Hampton addressed to the President as commander of the army, re quests the withdrawal of the troops, in order lhat the state government may be established. Business organizations in the south are quite generally endorsing the President’s Southern policy. Gen. Garfield, after consultation with the President and at tbe special request of tbe lat ter, has decided not to be a candidate for the Senatorship from Ohio. The President has no candidate and is not making himself a party to ihe contest in any degree, but his request to Garfiela is based on a desire to have him re main in the House of Representatives where his services will be most important to the ad ministration. The leading candidates are Stan ley Matthews, Judge Taft and Ben Wade. Simon Camerou has resigned his seat as Sen ator, and it is believed that his son, Don Came rou, will be chosen by the Pennsylvania legis lature in his place. Fannily enough both Nicholls and Packard endorse the President’s policy; but it evidently means a different thing to each. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Jacob Hirschfield, a tailor, was found shot through the body and with a handkerchief crammed down hi.- throat Tuesday morning at tbe door of his place of business in Boston. He died soon after. Robbery was the object of the murder. James J. Smith, a clerk in the store of Ivi sod, Blakeman, Taylor Co., New York, edu cational book dealers, has been arrested charged with stealing. In his room at Matihaves was found over 810,000 worth of steel pens and uuipuivuu HV UCAICID uur side of the city. The thefts have been going on for a long time, but he was not suspected. The plasterers strike in Brooklyn has ended, nearly all the bosses agreeing to give 82.50 per day. Mr. Merriman, insane,at Bock Creek Centre, Ind., Tuesday shot bis two sons aged 1G and 18, and then blew his own head off. A dye house belonging to Wnittendon mills, in Taunton, Mass., was burned Monday night. Lass 820,000; insured. The verdict of the coronoi’s jury in the Ash tabular disaster puts the blame of the disaster upon the railway company for neglect of proper inspection of the bridge and for using non-extiuguishable stoves. The jury also find the fire engineers censurable for not pouring water upon the burning cars, A tornado on the 8tb destroyed all the houses on Grimomett’8 plantations in Tallapoosocoun ty, Alabama, killed a son of Grimomett, and a Degro. The storm demolished several other buildings in its track. Jackson Hotel, the alms house and ailes County Nitional Bank buildings were burned Monday night at Pulaski, ICy. Loss 814,000. Twenty thousand ordinary and about 500 reg istered letters were destroyed by the burning of a postal car attached to a train on the Buffalo and Chicago railroad leaving Chicago at 9 a. m. the 8th iust. Fire in Franklin street, New York, in the building occupied by Townsend Co., dry goods merchants, caused the following losses: Bullock Co., 820,000; Bacon Co. 825,000; TownseDd Co. $55,000. A Salt Lake despatch says that snow has been falling for the past twelve days. Tues day a snow-slide occurred near Alta, killing Matthew Ingram and Jared Pratt. A cave in Flagg Staff mine covered five men and killed Hi-nry Johnston No others were badly hurt. John C. Tracy, President of the Farmers aud Mechanics Bank of Hartford, lias been indict ed for misapplying some $300,000 of the bank’s fund and making false eutries to cover up. J. L. Chapman, cashier, has been indicted for aiding in the theft, and perjury. W. C. Gray, son of David B. Gray of Mont pelier, Vt., took his father's receipt for one dollar and by skillful erasures, altered it to a note for $1000, which he sold and then left for Kansas. His father will probably shoulder the loss. A panic in the church of Si. Francis Xavier in New York, Thursday, caused a rush of wo men in one of the galleries and iu the tumult which ensued, six women and one boy wore trampled under foot and killed. The audience was composed entirely of women, and chil dren it being “women’s week” iu LeDt. The number of persons injured was very large. A disastrous fire in St. John,New Brunswick Friday, destroyed a large business block on Prince William Street. Loss $500,000. Seven men were buried in the ruins. A Jackson despatch of Friday gives an ac count of a terrible fight in Madison county, 1 Tenn. Deputy Sheriff Jasou W. Fussell, j William and John Anderson, his nephews, whom he had summoned tn assist in arresting uuiucu I WtOlO, 1UU JCLCU 1UI car rjing concealed weapons at the house of Andy Potetes. The Potetes resisted and killed Pus sell and slightly wounded Wm. Anderson and mortally woauded John Potete, who died soon after the fight. Andy Potete was arrested and committed to jail, but his other sons escaped after robbing tbebody^of Fussell and takiog his horse. VARIOUS MATTERS. The Vanderbilt Will case bas been settled by tbe entire withdrawal of all objections by the contestants. I The New York open stock board’has ceased to exist; the heavy operators therein will be re ceived into the regular commission, and the rates of commission will be increased to one- j eighth per cent, for all transactions for out- aiders, and 1-32 per cent, between members. The members of the gold board, which also closes May 1st, will be received as members of the supplementary board of stock exchange. At a special term of the Supreme Court in New York, Thursday, the attorney General made application for the appointment of re ceivers to close the business of the following life insurance companies: Tbe Guardian Mutual Life Insurance Com pany. The Widows’ and Orphans, Life Insurance Company. The Re-erve Mutual Life Insurance Company, i The New York State Life Insurance Compa ny The North American Lifo Insurance Compa ny. FOREIGN. i Russia’s latest proposition is in substance that if Great Britain and the Other Powers will agree to maintain the settlement insisted upon in the conference and to urge it upon the Porte, Russia will bo content to act in accord with them and will demobilize her armies. Tho communication is now under serious considera tion of tho English government. The Times points out that the terms are con sidered exceedingly moderate by the other Powers and says that if Russia is contented with the settlement we can see no sufficient reason for declining it. The Honolulu Gazette of Eeb. 28tb, contains an account of a remarkable sub marine volcanic ourbreak.in Iialakeakea Bay, near the entrance to the harbor. Tbe natives report that the eruption occurred at 3 o’clock in the morning of tbe 24th, appearing like innumerable blue and green lights. In the afternoon several boats visited the eruption, cruising over the most active part where the water was boiling and appearing as if passing over rapids. Blocks of lava two feet square came up from below frequently striking and jarring the boats. As tho lava was quite soft no harm was done. Nearly all tbe pieces on reaching the surface were red hot, omitting steam and gas stroncly sulphurous. A rumbling noise was heard like that of rocks in a freshet, caused no doubt by the eruption of lava from a sub-marine crater which is supposed to be a crack or line of the rupture extending at least a mile trorn the shore. Another rupture doubtless a continua tion of the sub-marine fissure, was traced in land from the shore nearly three miles, varying in width from a few inches to three feet. In some places water was seen pouring down into the abyss below. The latest accounts state that Stanley has been forced to return to Uj'ji by hostile natives and the small pox. CARDS.
