Death Of General Armstrong.

Gen. Robert Armstrong, proprietor Of the
"Union'' newspaper, died suddenly at Wash
ington a few days since. lie was printer to
the House Of Representatives, and since his
death Mr.. Nicholson, his partner, has been
elected printer by the House.
Gen Armstrong died of congestion of the
brain, at his own residence in Washington,
surrounded and solaced by most of his chill
dren. His age was sixty-three. He was the
bosom friend Of Gen. Jackson, and the man
selected by him as the depository and keeper
of his sword. His distinguished and valuable
services in the war of 1912, are matters OF
history. His courage was cool, his judgment
sterling, his integrity stern and his patriotism
devoted. In the private relations of life he
was attractive and kind. He enjoyed the I'M
limited confidence Of Presidents Jackson, Van
Buren,, Polk and Pierce. A Washington cor
respondent of the Boston Post pays the follow
ing tribute to his memory -
" You have already recorded the death Of
General Robert Armstrong. The war-worn
veteran sleeps In peace. Wounded In the ser
vice Of his country, inheriting the sword Of
Jackson, the prominent events of his life are a
part of his country's history. We knew him
well. We first met him in foreign land.
None ever approached him without appreciat-
ing his kindness of heart. Perfectly unosten-
tatious and unaffected, he was ever ready by
his acts to do good, and by his purse to assist
the necessitous, to aid every good cause
Many Americans who had intercourse with
him while he was consul at Liverpool, will
testify to his genial manners and his open,
frank and obliging disposition. Possessing
business talents of high order, and the
very soul of integrity and honor, he is per-
haps as extensively and favorably known to
the business men of England and America as
any man now living. Many, many, who have
received his words and his deeds Of kindness,
will mourn his death as that Of benetactor. -

Justice done to Gov. Dorr.

We rejoice to be able to record that the I'M
just sentence passed upon Gov. Thomas Dorr
by the Supreme Court of Rhode Island in
1914, has been reversed and annulled by the
Legislature of that State. That sentence was
a disgraceful act of political tyranny, worthy
Of the darkest ages of the worlds bigotry 1t
was on par with the dsgraceful action of the
U. S. Senate, when that noble old Roman,
Gen. Andrew Jackson, was condemned I'M
heard. The interchangeable exertions of Thorn
as II. Benton, aided by the outspoken voice
of the nation, reversed that outrageous SIAN
der upon great man and pure patriot, in
the "expunging resolutions and now the
envenomed malice OF the "algerines'' of Rhode
Island is turned back on their own heads by
the enlightened verdict of the people.
The black and dastardly record Of treason
is TO be written upon as follows
60 Revised and Annuled by order of The Gen
erdl Assembly, at their January Session, A. D.
1854
The Providence Post remarks that
"The above are the emphatic words that
are to be written across the sentence which
was passed upon Thomas w. Dorr in 1874
A few months less than ten years have elapsed
since majority of the people of this State
were, in the person of their representative,
convicted Of treason in the courts of Rhode
Island, and sentenced to Imprisonment for
life. His crime and their crime was an effort
to secure the rights and principles enjoyed by
their fellow citizens of the other States of the
Union, and guaranteed to them by the insti-
tutions of their country. Ten years of thought
and rehectian have passed, the excitement of
the occasion has cooled, and the general as
sembly write upon that sentence their verdict.
Hand in hand will pass down through the his
toric page the sentence and its annulment.-
They properly hereafter will make one record.
This is as it should be. The triumph of truth
over error will be made apparent to these
who shall come after US. We are content"
The Providence Post of Friday thus an
nounces the consummation of the act annull
ing the sentence of treason against Mr.. Dorr
" We received telegraph despatch from
Newport last evening, stating that George G.
Shaw, clerk of the supreme court for the coun-
ty OF Newport, having received an official
copy of the act requiring him to write the
words reversed and annulIed by order of the
general assembly, at their January session,
1854, across the sentence passed upon Thorn
as William Dorr, had performed that duty.
Knowing something Of the sentiments of Mr..
Shaw, of the warmth of his heart, and his
excellent penmanship, we can safely assure
our friends that the work is, not only done,
but nell DONE"
Well, yes, MOLLY done, glorious little

Miss Lucy Stone.

This lady having made her appearance in
Maine, few facts relating to her history and
appearance may prove interesting. She is a
naive OF West Brookfeld, Mass, which place
she no" makes her home. She has finished
educauon' and very few Of our best educated
men can excel her in an off.baod ox,ar,..o
Gus performance. In 1877, Miss Stone oradu-
ated from Ooerlln College, having, in connec-
ton with her scholastic accomnEsbn.,.
bbed the heightened radicalsm Of ,ba, Ina,;,,
ton. Since that time she has devoted horso,e
to the cause of the oppressed Of her sex and
the advocacy of sentiments belonging 10 the
Greeley and Garrison reformers. She has
lectured to crowded houses in New York and
other cities, and last season made tour 10 the
west. where her accomplishments and elo-
quence raised up hosts of admirers.
Miss Stone is the eloquent advocate of many
really desirable reforms. She demands the
same educational facilities for women as for
men-a greater scope for the exercise of wom-
ans industrial capacity, and a compensation
equal to what men receive for doing the same
work. She demands that woman should be
protected by Legislation in her property-that
the legal disabilities under which she labors.
in some of the States, should be removed, and

that the law should give her a right to her
personal property and earnings, even against
the claim of her husband. But she goes fur
Their, where we cannot follow her. She de-
mands that woman should have the right 10
uOte Here we are sorry to be obliged to part
company with Miss Stone.
Miss Stone came into Maine las. week, and
has lectured to crowded houses in HallOwell
and Gardiner. She is youthful and cookbook
ing, though not handsome. In her lectures
she appears in medium Bloomer costume of
silk, with bifurcates of the same material fas-
tened neatly around pretty ankles and feet.
Her hair. glossy as the raven, is combed back
with nicely and neatness, and her face has the
roundness and freshness Of maiden of twenty
years. There is that midness and intelligence
in her eve which has conquered thousands Of
our unfortunate sex, and when she speaks, her
words flow with honied sweetness. Her voice
is not strong, but her articulation is perfect, so
that no difficulty is experienced in catching
every word. When she rises TO address an an-
dience, every movement carries with it an air
of grace aud modesty-her gestures are easy
and apPr"Priaie-her speech fluent, and her
language chasie and elegant. She never uses
notes, yet every sentence is perfect, and she
sometimes scars high on the wings of surpass-
ing eloquence.' Very many young bachelors
on the kennebec are already about 'done for,
and as she is going to Bangor, we shall ex-
pect to hear of tumulluous moving among
the "dry bones Of bachelorism on the Penob-
scot.

The congregation connected with Beacon
ST. Church in this city, subscribed last Sab
bath, more than $40, for missionary purpos-
es. When it is remembered that this Society
is not yet one year old, and has recently been
burdened with the expenses Of a costly house
of worship, the above named contribution will
be regarded as pledge Of an intention to take
rank with the foremost of our Churches, in
christian liberality.

"FIDEs." This is the title of an an0ny-
nous scribbler in the Tribune, who is out pell-
nell on the Times. If the BLACKBOARD dia-
tribes Of this writer,-whO lies low behind the
scenes because he dares not come out like a
man and show himself,-were of sufficient con-
sequence, we should answer them in detail.
But ammunition spent upon an antagonist too
cowardly TO appear with an individuality by
daylight, is ammunition lost. The discources
of this writer will rank well as specimens Of
blackguardism, though we cannot perceive
whom he intends TO hit. That is owing prob
ably to the darkness in which he envelopes
himself A writer who strikes and then runs
away under the covert Of an anonymous scrib-
bier, is hardly worth chase. We are re-
sponsible for the political course Of the Times,
and we never had an office, and are not like tC
ee, one. When "Fides" directs his battery
at us, and gives himself personality, we'll meet
him with his own weapons, which we do not
like 10 use but we are sometimes obliged iC
do il, because blackguards and towards are
