The Fate of Spectators.

The spectators in necessities sometimes get
their Just deserts. Some months since, we
had in all the newspapers an account of
the failure of the butter speculation. The
holders got nipped handsomely, to the great
satisfaction of the public. Then came the
heavy lard failure. The holders after keeping
up the price of the article to an extravagant
point, could hold on no longer, and they failed,
and lard FELL to the increased satisfaction Of the
community. And now we have an account Of
the failure of the cloverseed spectators at Phil
adelphia to the amount of half million. This
will be good news to the farmers, who have
been obliged to pay an extravagant price for
seed the present season.
The parties in the clover-seed combination in
Philadelphia, says the Ledger, have from l5,-
900 to 20 900 bushels of seed. The movement
aimed to control the market, and when nearly
all the seed within reach was supposed to be in
the hands of parties concerned in the specula-
ton, the high prices at which the articles had
been placed, steadily drew on the market ad-
ditional lots Of one, two, and three hundred
bushels. The amount was more than the par
ties could carry, or desired to carry, and of
course the price of seed began to fall, and
from eight dollars per bushel 1t has fallen TO about
four and half. Pity the crash had not come
a little earlier.

VERMONT GoLD.-Rev. Zadock Thomson
has written letter giving an account of his
experience in searching for gold in the Iicin-
ity Of Brdgewater, Vermont. He SAYS:
g The gold is found in the range OF taIcose
slate and s;eatiie, which is known TO extend
through the entire length Of the State. from
north TO south. This range passes through
Bridgewater near the middle, and The gold 70
callty is but short distance from The centre
o. the township, towards the southwest
The gold is disseminated very sparinglv in
veins or seams Of quartz, and is associated
with the sulphureIs Of lead, iron and copper
The strata OF slate between which the auartz
- lnterspersed, dip some 90 degrees towards
the east, and The seams OF quartz vary much
IN thickness, and are somewhat Irregular
Gold has yet been found ia only few Of
these seams, and most of which has been Oh
famed from single seam, in which several
hands are now at work. This is from fen to
twenty inches wide, and some portions Of u
are filled very abundaDtIy with galena. or sui
phuret Of lead. At a blast made in this seam
while was present, more than one hundred
pounds of pure galena were thrown out with
the quartz, together with some sulphuret of
iron and very few small particles of gold:
but whether gold or lead will here be found
in sufficient quantities 10 pay for working, il
yet probematical.'

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE. The Circumstance
es attending the suicide Of Olinda Doane,
who drowned herself on the 23d ult., in Har-
witch, are extremely affecting, and ought to

" For year or so previous TO her mar
rlage, she had received visits from a respect
able young man by the name of Hall, TO
whom she engaged to be married. Her pa
rents opposed her choice, and favored the
suit Of widower of considerable property,
named Doane. Hall soon after married an
other, when the parents OF the deceased, pre-
vailed on her to marry Doane. The friends
were invited, but before the time for the GER
emonies 10 commence, the youEg lady ex-
cused herself and retired. Not returning,
her sister went to her room, saw blood on
the mirror and on the floor, went 10 the bed
and turning down the clothes, found her sis
ter with her throat cut and her bridal robes
saturated with blood. Assistance was called,
her wound dressed, and she recovered

time she has been occasionally derangeG.-

SHIP CANAL. The Maryland Legislature, at
its last session, granted the charter for ship
The canal is to be at least one hundred feet
wide upon its surface, and sixty feet wide at
the bottom. 1t will be twenty-five miles long,
and capacious enough to receive ocean steam
ers of the first class. The main purpose of the
projectors of this canal is to spare the western
commerce, that naturally discharges itself at
Baltimore, the sircuitous voyage down the
Chesapeake and around Cape Charles to New
York, Boston, and Liverpool. The canal will
open direct line of transit from Baltimore to
the ocean, at point about on parallel with
Cape May, by which the trip to New York is
abridged some $50 miles.

New Hampshire.

Gov. NOAH MARTIN of New Hampshire, one
of the best governors the old granite state ever
had. and who has administered the Office with
such wisdom and prudence as to increase his
own popularity and promote the best interests
of the state, delivered hismessage to the New
Hampshire legislature on Thursday, cautionins
them against multiplying and too frequently
altering the laws. The bank capital of the
state is $S,226, 900, and the governor would be
slow to increase it, referring TO the severe les
sons of 1887 and 1910. He invites legislation
for the more careful management Of railroads,
making carelessness in the employees an indie
table offence when life is lost; and he does not
advise an extension of facilities to railroads.
As to intoxicating liquors the governor thinks
if the present laws were energetically admins
tered we could soon decide whether they are
deficient or not "ultra measures often fail in
answering the expectations of their projectors"
There are 100 convicts in the state prison, and
that and the asylum for the insane are econo-
mically conducted. The legislative session of
of last November caused an increase in the
state debt from $50, 1875 to about $4,000. Ed
vocational institutions are fourishing the num-
Der of schools is 1894; amount applied to edu-
cation $27I,747; teachers and scholars 92,s3S.
Mr.. Martin again recommends the appointment
Of a commissioner Of agriculture, and gives ag-
ricultural and manufacturing statistics showing
2,25I,4S8 acres improved, value of farms $55,-
245 1897 !; farming implements $2,3l4,125 live
stock 1851 ,90l; orchard products $24s, 1858;
domestic manufactures $393, ass; yearly pro-
duce OF wool los, 476 lbs 6,977,O56 lbs Of

of maple sugar. Cotton factories "A; invested
therein $1O,95o,5oO. Woollen mills 81 inves-
ted in them So, 437,7 700. Value of cotton and

notice of the late Vice President King, and de-
clines a reelection.

FOT The EdSteFn IIMeS
Democratic Convention.

The approaching Convention of delegates
from the Democratic party. in Maine, to be
holden at Bangor for the purpose of nominat-
ing candidate for Governor for the ensuing
year, is one of much Importance to every well
wisher of the cause of democracy, and it is to
be hoped that it will be conducted with that
good feeling and spirit of Cancellation that have
on most occasions Of the kind been manifested.
To avoid the possibility OF defeat, from the
principal cause that occasioned the prostration
of the party the last year-the first business
after the organization of the Convention,
should be to devise some equitable mode in
which future nominations shall be made, in
default of Convention. The assumption Of
that prerogative by the democratic members Of
the Legislature, has never been satisfactory to
a large proportion of the party; and by great
numbers has always been protested against |;
and to this and other minor questions may just
ly be attributed the condition in which the
party now find themselves in the State govern
ment. legislative nomination is unequal,
and unjust to very large proportion of the
party in the State, and particularly in the coun-
ties of Kennebec and Lincoln. Witness Bath,
Brunswick, Gardiner, Hallowell, Augusta and
Waterv;lle. In these towns the democrats are
disfranchised. 1t may be said that it is easier
to find fault with old measures than to devise
new ones. This is no doubt true, but can
but believe that the intelligence that will be
brought together at Bangor, will be able to de-
wise some mode without resorting 10 legisa-
tive nominations if an annual convention for
the purpose, should be thought too onerous.
From whatever part of the State the selec-
ton of a nominee may be made, it is most fer
vently hoped that he may be man of sound
democratic principles, of intelligence and ster-
ling integrity and free from the control of any
petty clique. Such man should, and no
doubt will be nominated, and will be elected
by an overwhelming majority and raise the
democratic party, and place them upon that ele-
waited ground from which they never should
have fallen. Nor would they, but from open
enemies and injudicious friends. am as ever,

DIR. KING IN GREECE. Mr.. Bryant, editor
of the n. Y. Evening Post, writes, that while
at Athens, he was curious to inform himself of
the controversy between the Greeks and DIR.
Jonas King, the American Missionary. The
following is the result of the inquiry:
At present the triumph seems to be en- the
side of DIR. King. The Greeks are in fair
way to learn religious federation. He is under
an ecclesiastical curse, as nobody can even
speak to him without mourning the censure of
the church; yet everybody now speaks to him !;
he is exiled for his religious opinions, yet he
remains at Athens, and breaches every Sunday
without any reserve in the expression of his
religious views. He has behaved throughout
the whole affair with the greatest intrepidity,
and if we may judge from appearances, has
brought his adversaries at last to the conclu-
sion that their best policy is to let him alone.
l admire his courage, and rejoice in his sue
cess"

"OUR FLAG IS THERE" Mr.. BRYANT. in
letter from Athens, describing the difficulties
Of DR.. King, the American missionary, with
the government, says
"One Sunday large crowd of Greeks, led
by priest of their church, assembled in his
house and garden to hear one Of his discourses.
His subject was the duty Of religious tolera-
ton. At the close, the priest asked a ques-
ton concerning some things advanced in the
discussion, to which DIR. King gave a prudent
answer. The priest then demanded an expla-
nation OF certain positions laid down in another
discourse, which DR.. King declined giving at
that time, observing that he would agree TO ap-
point almost any other day for the discussion.
The multitude Immediately joined the priest in
demanding that the discussion should 90 on at
that moment, with snch fury and noise that
his friends thought his life in danger. It hap
pened at the time that the American consul
was absent from Athens, and the functions of
that Office were delegated to DR.. King An
American flag, day or two previous, had
been received by DIR. King from Washington.
To the midst Of the tnmult, at the very moment
when the multitude seemed ready to tear him
to pieces, he bethought himself Of the flag, and
hastily unrolling it, let it stream from one Of
the windows. As soon as the mob saw il.
they began TO dispense in the utmost haste,
and in five minutes not one of them was left in
the house or the garden.''
