lTThe editor Of the Providence Tri-
bune says that if our article in regard to
the Maine Law did not manifest revolu-
tonary spirit, then he cannot correctly con-
strue or understand the English language /;
he now assumes a proper ground, and
gives the true reason for his mistake. He
further says that H. does not know that the
Maine Law is openly violated in the city of
Providence, or that it has been productive
of great mischief and bitter feelings which
will exist long after the Maine Law has
become dead letter. In reply, we have
only to say that the editor must have en-
tombed himself from the world for the past
year OF two, and that he cannot know what
is taking place around him any more than
he would know W hat Vas going on on this
mundane sphere, if he was an inha tint of
the Moon. The General Assembly may
make the Maine Law still more stringent,
if they please, but it cannot be enforced no
law can be executed when public opinion,
to considerable extent, is opposed to it,
1t is useless to argue upon this matter, be-
cause the experience of every day, and a
knowledge of human nature, irresistaby
convince those, who are not wiluly blind +,
of the truth of our assertion.

IL We are frequently asked the qucs.
tion why we DO not give an account Of the
difficulty in the Gas Company. In reply,
we simply say that The whole matter is to
be legally investigated, and we therefore
have no disposition to comment upon the
matter in our columns, at present We
shall wait until the decision of the Court
is given, and shall cheertully abide by it,
Then we shall endeavor TO give candid
and impartial history Of the whole matter,
doing justice to all parties, particularly to
the most extraordinary conduct Of Henry
Balls the community shall behold his pic
ture. We know the man, root and branch,
and we mean that others shall know his
true character a. it has never yet been
known and we shall do this by simple
statement Of facts connected with this mat

who seem to get all the Official prizes un-

appoin ment of Mr.. Dodge, is, indeed, a
mere political job "sop" from the Presi-
dent to make amends for the slap he has
received from The People, for his vote in IA
vor of the Nebraska Inquity Thus it is
that Federal patronage, as dispensed by

obnoxious mcaSurcs through Congress,
and to reward those plan, Senator's and
Representative who sell their constituents
and betray their country, at the behe.t OF

Rogers had all her brother's taste for art
ard literature. Her house in Hanover ter

PROFITABLE OFFIcR.-It is not probable
that the keepers OF the prisons in MurIha's
Vineyard will need any assistance at pres.
ent For the year ending Nov. 1854, the
fees for turnkey and board at the County
Jail in Edgiuown, amounted to ONE DoL-
LAR AND rHRrY CENTS, there having becn
but one person sent there during that year.
The populationof the vineyard is 45iO. In
Edgartown there are 1890; Chlmark 757,
and T.bury 1903 The inhabitants Of the
island are almost exclusively native-bbrn
Americons, there being only about 80

D- The business Of presenting plate
seems rather likely to run itself into the
ground at last. II it has not already reach
ed the ridiculous point which will work its
own curse, it is fast verging TO it, and some
young converts" in Massachusetts, have
succeeded in making it look about as foolish
as it can. A class of these simpletons
have recently presented silver pitcher TO
the clergyman who converted them-in
testimony of the service thus rendered.
Now it may BE- all well enough TO give sill
yer to their clcrgymen, but it seems TO us
that it savors considerably of the ridiculous
aud rather too near the proane TO give
such a reason for presentation OF this
sort. II any OF the converts" should
chance to fall from grace" some Of them
might boerudgo the silver, and possibly be-
Tor getting it back.-NeW London Chron.

~ Clark Stanton, young f glish sculp-
tor at Florence, returning to his studio one
day, fouad his clay model Of statue in
