NEW HAMpsHIRE-sHE CAM

After the splendid victory achieved by the Wings
Of Maine there Is no reason 70 despair Of New Hanp
shire She will take her stand with all the other New
England States in favor Of the Wing candidate for
the Presidency To doubt Is 10 doubt the inteli-
gence of her citizens may, more dstelleve that
they possess that instinct which teaches even the
meanest of creatures TO desert sinking ship IL Is
base libel upon their understandings The regenera-
ton Of the State is not hopeless achievement
than was the regeneration of Maine. The majority
10 overcome scarcely larger than il was IN that State
An effort like theirs will do il. There are thousands
in the State we doubt not, there were in Maine,
who have hitherto voted with the Van Buren, party,
who are now ready TO go with the Wings. They are
convinced that they have been mised and deceived
that the men whom they have supported are corrupt
and dshonest-and they will support them no longer
They are satisfied that there should and must be q
change They are satisfied that Gen. Harrison should
be- and will be- elected They will not proclaim Their
conversion publicly but it will be manifested, as !
has been in Maine at the baliot-box. Il will be silent
but none the less effective.
The twenty 1--WE thousand Wings of New Hamp
shire who came to the polls at the election In 1896
have only to do their duty-to be out again IN No
Wonderland their allies will be with them IN suih
Gent numbers, as the ballot box will proclaim to IN
sure then glorious victory and regenerated State

Whaling Freak One of the officers of the
Marshal proc ecded to Hudson on Sunday for the
purpose OF arrestng W. j. Rogers the master of the
ship Beaver, for an offence alleged TO have been
committed in the South Seas three years and half
ago This matter was brought TO the notice Of the
Marshal through an advertisement inserted in the
Toy Budget signed by three of the crew of the
Beaver That statement set forth that the capita n
gave one of the crew named Gordon, some times cal
led Jack Brown, to the cannibals TO be wasted and
eaten as IS their custom Their first cruise was
sixteen months, during which time n mber of the
crew got the scurvy so as to endanger their lives
Gordon one day observed to some OF the crew. II
was In your places forward if the captain when he
arrived, should refuse TO give us liberty ashore,
would point knife at his heart" The cap ain over
heard him, and when he left the port steered TO Sa
wage Island in the Pacific. As socn as he came in
sight OF II, the natives crowded round in their ca
noes. Gordon was thrown overboa I'd 10 them by the
captain and mate, the former persuadng the savages
to take him and do as they pleased with HIM by the
offer Of presents.
Capt. Rogers was brought up, and Judge Belts di-
rected him TO give bail in $500 and further ordered
that the matter should be examined into on Tuesday
at III O'CLOCK.
The captain stated that he could adduce documents
and other testimony to prove thar Gordon preferred
s'aying at Savage Island, out of sort Of whaling
freak and that none Of the officers OF the ship were to
blame.
