Providence for the Maine Law.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Thursday, May IL, lc52:
DEAR GREELEY; | greet you with an
other Maine Law Victory. Our Municipal Elcc-
ton came OFF Yesterday and, for the first time
since our organization a a city, we have Tenn
perance Mayor-an out-and-out Maine Law May
or-the author of our law for the Suppression OF
Drinking Houses and Tipping Shops, as chief ma
gistrate of the city for the coming year. What
do you think of that
Not a few Of our good people were little sur
prised when they saw it announced, IN last Mon
davis papers, that AMOS G. BARsrow had accepted
the Wing nomination for first Municipal ofhcer.-
They knew that he had more than once declined
the non1ipation-that he was engaged in lucrative
business recurring nearly all his timeand that scarcely
man could be found who would have to make greater
sacrifices of pecuniary interest aud personal comfort to
perform the duties OF the place. But when they came
IN know the circumstances under which he nonin
ated and that the sacrifice made TO secure for our
new lew an energetic and at the time prudent
enforcement they determined to give him such vote
as was never before given to any Mayor OF our city
And notwithstanding the rain poured almost in torrents
from the opening till the closing Of the polls hsy dd
The vote Of the whole city, (Which, you know is much
reduced from that for State officers by property quail
f.aton) was for Barstow 1872; for all others 327;
Barstow's minority oe5.
The six Aldermen elected are all Wings and all Maine
Law men. OF the twenty.four Common Council men,
twenty two are Wings, and the two Democrats were
elected over the regular candidates OF their own party
by the strength of the temperance sentiment in their
Ward At least twothirds Of ell the Council men are
friends of the new liquor law
Now friend Greeley, you had better look for Maine
Law fruits from our little Rhoda. We have got the
right kind of sentiment-the right kind of law-and
the right kind of officers In year from this time,
we shall be able to offer some stubborn facts some
cheering results to our friends in other States la the
mean time, push forward the column, out there in the
Empire State Thine truly, CIV.

CHoPIN.-Franz List, the celebrated
Pianist in the of charming "reminiscences
and criticisms of the composer and pianist Chopin which
the editor of Delights Journal Of Music is transiatng
for that paper, says
One aiternoon-there were but three OF us-Chopin
had been play ing long time, and one of the most dis
tneuished ladies Of Paris felt herself overcome by
certan mournu feeling of devotion somewhat SUCH as

out the aonished traveller the promise of cheerful

might come, which bowed her heart before monuments,
whose exterior disclosed only what soft and lovely

feeling which he inclosed in his compositions as II 1t

Conquered by the beautiful tears, which mOistened
such beautiful eyeashes, Chopin answered with an
oponness that with him. in cases which con

deceived her in its melancholy mood since, bright and
cheerful he sometimes was, he could not free himself
entirely from feeling, which in "A certain IN amer

which. A singular incident of this kind occurred
Charles ii. Mason, Democrat, Notary Public last
year. Charles III. Mason, Wing, was candidate tor
Notary Public this year. and had SPOKE to Christopher
Columbus to nominate him. The Wings, not having
been greatly favored in that line by the Democrats did
not propose to elect the Democratic Notaries. When
the election OF Notaries going onin Grand Committee
Of the Potters, supposed to be Americas Vespuc
ard nominated Charles II. Mason The Wings
naturally thought that Christopher, and the Dem

care and each party having Charles H. Mason OF its
own, the election made with great unsnmity. One
Wing indeed suspected that al not right and rose
to move that more be added" but the Governor
happened to be particularly engaged and the gentleman
from Providence did not catch his eye till the vote had
