POLITICAL.

The subject of our new amendment to the
constitution continues to excite the deepest
interest throughout the West, where the Re-
publicans are compelled, purely in self-defence,
to disclaim all sympathy with it, and to de-
nounce the principle involved in it, We have
before us letters of Abraham Lincoln and
Lyman Trumbul of Illinois, of L. n. Arnold
Chairman of the Republican Central Commit
tee of Chicago, of VIM. H. Herndon, one of
the Fremont electors of the same State to-
gether with the proceedings OF several public
meetings, at one of which, held in Peoria, the
terms.
The squatters in the county of Arrapahoe,

Creek region, held a convention on the 18th of
April, and resolved to organize new State, to
be called the State of Jefferson. The Consti-
tutional Convention has been called to meet on
the first Monday in June.
The political campaign en- Ohio opens to-
day with the meeting of the Democratic State
Convention. 1t is conceded that VIM. Denni-
son of Columbus will receive the nomination
of the Republicans for Governor. His election
is matter of course by large majority.
Gov. Chase will probably succeed Pugh in the
United States Senate.

ART IN WoRcEsTER.-It is with no ordinary
degree of satisfaction that we are enabled to
announce another highly successful effort in
sculpture, by our townsman, b. F. Kinney,
Esq. We have already noticed the fact that
he was engaged on bust of the late Isaiah
Thomas. The original model of it having
been completed, he has made 4 cast from it,
which, since it was finished, is pronounced by
good judges the most successful of his works !;
and this is no small praise. So perfect is the
ikness, that it was instantly recognized by
one of our elderly citizens, who, for years, was
on terms of the most intimate acquaintance
with Mr.. Thomas and this recognition took
place without his being aware that any such
work had been attempted, or even that it was
contemplated.
1t is fortunate that Mr.. Kinney has been thus
successful. Mr.. Thomas was man of mark
in his day, and did more than any other man
of his time for the prosperity and growth of
Worcester. For long time he was the most
extensive and most distinguished printer and
bookseller in America He took an early and
aCGlFe Slilllu against euCTOdCHineHIS OF Une
mother country upon the rights and liberties
OF the people, and in advocacy of the cause of
freedom, established the Massachusetts, Spy,
now the oldest paper in the State, and took
high and commanding position on that side,
not only during the incipient stages of
the dispute, but throughout the whole
contest, till the consummation took place,
which he so much coveted, and for which he
had made such efforts. Later in life, he es-
tablished and endowed the American Anti
quarian Society, an institution the establish
ing of which, had he done nothing else for the
world, or for the place of his adoption and resi-
dence, would have carried his name down with
honor and respect to future generations.
Mr. Kinney, therefore, could not have Sc
lected more fitting subject for the trial of his
skill, and the success which has attended it
must be peculiarly gratifying to the citizens of
Worcester, with whose history and prosperity
Mr.. Thomas was SO largely identified. AS
work of art, the bust is creditable to Mr..
Kinney's talent and skill-as a faithful repre-
sentation of such a man, it is invaluable. Mr..
Kinney will be happy to show it to any who
may call at his studio, and we feel fully assur-
ed that none who do will think our commenda-
tons of it overweight

SAD CALAMITY IN B1AoKsroxp-Tuesday

SAD CALAMITY IN BLAoKsToNE.-Tues
afternoon, Mr.. Thorpe, of the firm of
Thorpe, Benson & Baker, of Blackstone,
and two young ladies, Misses Frances Ca
dy and Georgiana Brown, went on pleas
ure excursion upon Blackstone river, when
the boat was carried over the falls at
High Rock, and the two ladies were drowned
The boat was drawn into the rapids, and wss
beyond their control before they were aware of
their danger. Mr. Thorpe reached the shore
insensible and exhausted, and continued delir-
ious for considerable time. The bodies of
the ladies were not recovered till Wednesday
morning. Miss Cady was the daughter of
Mr.. John Cady, formerly postmaster, and was
about twenty eight years of age Miss Brown
was a school teacher in Blackstone though her
home was in Pawtucket. Both were held in
high estimation by large circle of acquaint-
ances and friends; and their sudden and mel
ancholy death has filled the whole community
with feelings of bereavement and sorrow

ARcHA1LoGIcAL.-The following paragraph
translated from the Star of the East, published
at Athens, Greece, of the 29d of April, APP
pears in the Providence Journal
In the month of March there was found on
the north side of Propyl@a, column of Pen
teic marble, on which is inscribed decree of
Lycurgus, q well-known orator and civilian,
the son of Lycophron, of the demus Butades.
He was contemporary of Demosthenes.l
The decree is in behalf of one Euchemas of
Plattea who had given a thousand yoke of
cattle towards the building of the Stadium and
the Panathenaic Theatre, and had forwarded
the whole amount according to promise, be-
fore the Panathenaic festival. Wherefore the
city of Athens praises him, and crowns him
with wreath, gave him the title of benetac-
tor, allowed him to own lands and houses, to
do military duty with the Athenians, and to
contribute to the expenses of the State. The
decree is published in the Archaeological paper
with explanatory notes.

this morning large number of letters from
different portions of the West, giving most
cheering account of the prospects of the grow
ing crop. They refer to wide extent of
country, all lying North of the latitude of St.
Louis Our advices from Southern Illinois are
equally encouraging In week or Two the
harvest will have fully commenced there, and
we hope soon to announce that the crop is
safely gathered. One of the editors of the
Press and Tribune visited Madison, Wisconsin,
last week, and all along the line on the St.
Paul and Fond du Lac and the Milwaukee and
Mississippi Roads, the wheat looked finely.
Most of il was Spring, of which very wide
breadth has been sown in this section Pre-
parations for corn also appeared to be very
extensive. Accounts generally from Wiscon-
sin agree that the prospects were never better
for an abundant crop"

WRETcHED END OF SEDUcER-The
recent wreck o the cmigrant ship Pomona has
brought to light one of those dark domestic
episodes which would rest far better in the
depths OF oblivion, were it not that, in this
case, we have striking instance of the ulti-
mate fate which follows domestic perfidy and
crime. For some few years person named
Montgomery carried on business as passen-
ger broker in Liverpool. He had wife and
several children, all comparatively young.
From low position in life he raised himself
into comfortable circumstances, and those
passions which necessity once curbed and
held in check soon broke loose, and
the whims and frolcs of the libertine
soon subverted paternal love and affection.
Previous to his departure he had contracted an
alliance with young girl, a bar.maid at re-
spectacle hotel in Dale street, Liverpool. He
told her he was single, offered his hand and
unfortunately, she accepted it. Matters were
delayed, and, under the guise Of paying a visit
to the Pomona, he took her on board in the
Mersey the vessel sailed, and in it the betray-
er and the betrayed. He was not, however,
destined to escape with impunity for the
storm which ragged along the Irish coast on the
night of the 29th ult,, drifted the ship ashore
near Wexford, and the fate of the crew and
passengers is already too well known to be here
recapitulated. Out of the crew and passen-
gers, numbering four hundred and fifty-seven
souls, only twenty escaped and, the day after
the wreck, the torn and dilapidated form of
Montgomery was tossed on shore, as if the
waters had rebelled against being tainted by SO
foul carcase.

SEWING MAoHINEs.-We are often asked
which is the best sewing machine. But while
we have to confess that we know nothing
about it ourselves, the following facts gather
ed from the New York Tribune may aid our
readers in forming an opinion
at seems that of the three leading machines
before the public, Singer & Co. sold in a given
three months, 1900 machines. Grover & Ba-
ker 1900 in the same. time, while Wheeler &
Wilson sold in one of the same months 2300,
or nearly as many in one month as both the
other firms in three months. And when it is
recolected that Wheeler & Wilson's are ex-
cusively family machines, while both the 9TH
ers manufacture largely other patterns for shoe
makers and taiiors, the testimony in favor of
Wheeler Wilson's seems to preponderate
the more strongly as the best family machine"
They are now manufacturing over 5000 ma
chimes each month, and are still unable to sup
ply promptly and fully their increasing orders
