The story Of an eccentric and persistent SUI
icide is told in the Paris papers. One morning,
near Havre, France, cap was seen in the wa.
ter with a string Of corks around it, and label
upon Which was written "Pull the string
am at the end OF it," The string was pulled,
and sure enough there was the late writer of
the label, with paper detailing the cause of
his having made way with himself, corked up
in bottle in his pocket, with his name and
address, "Francos Fooit, of Vandrimare."
The famous Donnybrook fair, which for a
long time, was held at Donnybrook, near
Dublin, where the Irishman dragged his coat
tail on the ground and challenged the other
fellow to step on ii, has at last been abolished.
1t had become an annual gathering of infamy
and depravity. The archbishop OF Dublin or
dered his people to stay away from the fair,
and the authorities took efficient measures to
keep the crowd from the fair grounds.

The Boston Bee is making its periodical
levy of black mail upon the party whose candi.
dates it processes to sustain. Every two or
three wears, since that paper had an existence,
it has threatened to expire or change its poll.
tics, unless certain sums of money were raised
for its benefit In several cases, these demands
have been complied with. Now it demands
$4,000 Of the republicans for continuing to sup
port that party, under threat to sell out to
the Bell and Everett party, who IFS friends
say, are ready 10 give $4,000 for its support
of their candidates. The party or the men,
who accede to such demands, will very natur
ally be marked by the independent press as
the worst enemies of its honor and its influ.
ence, and unworthy to receive its favor or sup
port We do not believe the republicans of
Massachusetts, need to bride or buy newspa.
pers in order to sustain their power; and this
time, we predict, the Bee will have an oppor.
tunity to carry out its threatened alternative.

MAINE ALL HAIL!

The news from Maine is glorious beyond
expectation. Washburn has 1900 majority,
and all the republican candidates for congress
are elected. We and others had feared some
disaster in Maine,-some lessening of the ma
jorities, and the loss of one or two congress
men. We had prepared ourselves to hear
that the democrats had carried the Portland
district, and perhaps the third or the sixth also.
But II 900 majority, and all the congressman
All well, now let all concerned prepare to see

SABBATH School UNION MEETING.-A
meeting of the Worcester Sabbath School
Union was held at the lecture room of the
Salem street church, last evening. 1t was a
meeting of unusual interest Mr., Martin
Stowe presided, and Mr.. j. c. Newton was
secretary. The question discussed was
"What is satisfactory evidence OF piety in a
child 2" Rev Mr. Richardson opened the
discussion, by stating that the evidence Of a
right heart in child was the same i'll sub
stance as in an adult. He stated some OF the
leading points in such evidence, and proceeded
to show that according to Gods covenant we
are to expect divine influences to attend the
parents fidelity. God appointed the mother
as the rightfu authority over the child, and
until the child was old enough to know God
and his will, right towards the mother was
pleasing to God.
Mr. Chas. Ballard illustrated the conversion
of the child as the grating of the tree, and
spoke in an effective manner on the subject.
Rev. Mr.. Reynolds thought that when
a child loved Christ, and delighted in obeying
Him, then the child could be called Chris.
tan.
Interesting and instructive remarks were
also made by Rev Mr., Metcalf, Mr. d. Blais
dell, and others, on the question, and all in
the right spirit. The meeting was full one
and we judge, from the interest manifested, it
was profitable discussion for sabbath school
teachers. For those who instruct children in
the principles of the Bible, such meetings
must prove of great value. The meeting adj
iourned for two weeks, when the question for
discussion will be, "What are the gospel evil
