NATURALIZATION LAWS IN MAIxE.-Thc

NATURALIzATIoN Laws IN MAIyE.-Ths
Legislature of Maine, which recently adjourn
ed, passed two acts relating to naturalization,
which contain some important changes. One
act provides that no person Of foreign birth
shall vote in the State unless he shall, within
three months at least before the day of eec.
ton, exhibit to the regularly constituted "u-
thOrities of the town or city in which he re-
sides, his naturalization papers, and the au-
thorties shall enter his name in book, to be
kept for the purpose, together with the date OF
the issue of the papers, and the court by which
the same are issued. The authorities are not
to enter his name in the book, nor enter Lis
name in the check list, if they are satisfied
that the naturalization papers are not genuine,
or that the person producing them is not tbs
person to whom they were issued. Another
act annuls the naturalization power of the
Courts of the State, and declares that no court
Of the State, nor any functionary of any Court
created by the authority of the State, shall
hold or exercise any jurisdiction in the admin
istraton Of the laws of Congress known as the
naturalization laws, nor shall any Court take
cognsance of any application of any alien to
be admitted to become citizen, to make any
record Or grant, or issue any certificate on 9th
er document or paper, whereby any alien
shall be naturalized or made a citizen Of the
United States. These acts have been approx
ed and are now in full force.

PASSION FOR GAMBLEHG.-The man
who some time ago had his legs torn of
by threshing machine near Marysville,
has been going through the mountains
raising money to procure pair of cork
legs, but as soon as he raises hundred OF
two dollars, he bucks it away at some
thieving gambling table; this has been
the case both at Minnesota, Forest City
and the neighborhood of Galena Hill. The
man seems to have an uncomfortable pass
ion for gambling, and his is certainly a
case worthy of commiseration, and instead
OF giving him money to make him game
for swindlers, he should be sent to hospi-
tai or asylum to be taken care of. We
have seen some deprayity in our time, but
we did not think there were in the noun
tains gamblers mean enough to allow a
man without legs, who is forced to trail
himself along the ground on sticks and
stumps, to buck at their banks, worming
out of him thequarters and halves bestow-
ed by charity Such wretches should be
kicked out of the doggery, by gambler.

MELANCHOLY SUlcIpE.---A young man
named John Reed, who for the past two years
has worked in the State Journal printing Office
as compositor, committed suicide under the
following painful ci cumstances. He has had
for many months en- unsuitable passion for
gambling, and every dollar that he has earned
has been thrown upon the gaming table. and
lost almost as soon as put down. On Satur-
day, after receiving his weekly wages he ilas-
tened to the ''hrcadc Salooa," and Ii less
than ty enty rnnutes-as dsual--had lost all
his money He then borrowed two dollars Of
a bystander whom he knew, vent to drug
store on X street and purchased quantity OF
strychnine,--one Of the deadiiest poisons known
then went to the printing Office and inform
cd the men that ne was going to commit sui
eide Not supposing he was serious they
laughed at it, but be assured them it was SC,
and in a short time they saw him drink some
thing from tin cup, when he said was poison.
He then took off hls coat shook hands with
all and bidding them good bye, laid down Oh
table, as he said, to die. Some of his friends
fearing that it might not be joke as they ox-
pected, sent for physician, who came IN
short time, but ere he arrived druggist had
examined the settling Of the portion swallow
cd, and upon analyzirg it, pronounced 1t
glauber or EPSON salts. The physician upon
his arrival was told of this, and feeling that h0
had been hoaxed, left, after examining the pa
tent and discovering no appearance Of poison;
but in short time he (Reed) became con-
vulsed, and when medical aid was again called,
il was too late and he expired at nine O'Clock.
P. NJ He was perfectly calm and collected
throughout the scene, declaring in the most
positive manner that ht was in his right mind,
and wanted to die as he was tired of life. -
Before he took the poison, he wrote letter
and gave it to brother printer, in Which he
stated that he could not live as he vas living
now--that he had an Unsuitable passion for
gambling that was uncomfortable, and in dy-
ing he should injure none but himself. He bid
his friends all goodbye, and wished them to
think kindly of him when gone He was
buried on Sunday, from the house of Engine
Company No. 3, of which he was a member
He was native Of Virginia--has been in Cal
iforna about five years, and was only % years
old. He was good printer, steady and ten.
perate in his habits. kind and generous in his
disposition, and beloved by I'll who knew him.
He had but one fault, and that vas his ruin.
hat an argument does his death present
against the Internal practice of gambling, It'
powerld destinations had such hold upon
him that he could not escape from it, except
by death, and that he sought at last Siats

A MODEL DUN.-An editor "out Vest
thus talks to his mon-paying subscribers
and patrons:
Friends, Patrons, Subscribers and Id
rertisers: Hear us for our debts, and get
ready that you may pay; trust us, we are
in need, and have regard for our need
for you have been long trusted acknowl-
edge your Indebtedness, and dive into
your pockets, that YOU may promptly
fork over. IF there be any among you,
one single patron, that don't owe us some
thing, then to him we say-step aside
consider yourself gentleman. If the
rest wish to know why we dun them, this
is our answer: Not that we care about
cash ourselves, but our creditors DO.
Would you rather that we 90 to Jail,
and you go free, than you pay your debts,
and we all keep moving As we agreed,
we have worked for you; as we contract
ed, we have furnished our paper to you !;
as we promised, we have waited upon
you; but, as you don't pay, we dun you
Here are agreements for job-work con-
tracts for subscription; promises for long
credit; and duns for deferred payment.
Who is there SO mean that he don't take a
a paper IF any, he needn't speak-we
don't mean him. Who is so green that
he don't advertise ;-Ifany let him slide
he amt the chap either. Who is there
SO bad that he don't pay the printer IF
any, let him shout, for he's the man we're
after. His name is Legion, and he's been
owing us for one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven and eight years-long enough to
make us poor, and himself rich at our ex-
pense. If the above appeal to his con-
science doesn't awake him to sense Of
justice, we shall have to try the law, and
see what virtue there is in writs and con-
stables.

might be urged, and that was, after every
heavy rain he found gully in his garden
path, and several cart-loads of gravel in
his cess-pool. Besides, the pipe was of
an equal width, and one obstruction led
to another sometimes it was silver
spoon and a child's frock; sometimes it
was a scrubbing-brush, a piece of soap,
and handkerchief 1 said that if he
had made square wooden trough, grad
ually widening from end to end, it would
have cleared itself, and then | thought it
would be good thing for me to have
such one myself Then | had cess
pool built at the bottom of the wall, under
the bank, which is about one hundred and
fifty feet from the kitchen, and told my
carpenter to make a trough of that length.
Carpenter asked me how big [ wanted
it:' l told him about eight inches in di-
ameter at the end nearest to the house,
and then gradually widening all the way
for the whole length. AS said this, my
carpenter smiled, and said he never heard
of such thing l told him no, that the
idea was an original one of my own. He
asked me how much would like to have
it wldened. | thought for moment, and
said, 'about half an inch to a foot He
said very well, and the next week he came
with two horses and an edifce in his cart
that looked like truncated shot tower
| asked him what that was? He said it
was the big end Of my pipe. When he
laid it on the ground on its side I walked
through it, and could not touch the upper
side with my hand Then I asked the
carpenter what he meant by it, and he
said it was made according to directions.
| said not all, that l told him to increase
the diameter at the rate of half an inch
to the foot, and he had made it about
foot to the foot, as near as I could judge.
'Sparrowgrass,' said he, little nettled,
Jest take your pencil and put down eight
inches well, that's the diameter of the
small end, / believe > l told the carpen-
ter he was right so far. Now, for every
foot there is an increase of half an inch in
the width; that's according to the dircc-
tions, too, amt it = Yes We'll, then
put down one hundred and fifty half inches,
how much does that make, altogether, in
feet' Six feet eleven inches. Now
said he, Jest you take my rule, and meas
ure the big end of that ere pipe Car
penter,' said I, Il see it all the next
time | build an aqueduct l will be little
more careful in the figures Sparrow
grass said he, pointing to the pipe, did
not you tell me that that was an original
idee of your own = l answered that l
believed [ did make remark of that kind.
