MISCELLANY.
Requisites of Citizenship.

On Saturday last John H. French, ESQ.,
presented an applicant for citizenship with
two witnesses, who were asked the usual ques-
tions. SIS he man OF good moral character.
attached to the principles of the Constitution
ofthe United states and to the good order
and happiness Of the sGn,e?" 1t was very evil
dent that Judge Cutting did no consider these
legal requisites Of citizenship mere matter of
form, to be answered by the usual evasive
MIGHT'VE: "As fan as know;;" that lie con-
sidered that man who got intoxicated ence
week might not be man OF good moral
character, that man who was under prose-
Ncution for riot or breach of the peace might
not be in favor of peace and good, order;
and that a man who was known to favor the
rebellion could not be violently attached to
the Constitution"
Accordingly he subjected the witness 20
the following interrogations:
Judge.-"ls he man Of good moral char
ter"
Witness.---I believe so.'
- Judge.-"A man Of sober ife"
Witness thesitating) II don't know exactly
~ he is"
Judye.-"Does he get intoxicated?"
Witness.-"I have known him TO-"
Judge.-Habitually
Witness--"0ccasionally
The other witness not being able to clear
up the character oil the Candidate, the Judge
took his seat remarking that the evidence was
not sufficient and turning to the man said:
"If you come back here next year and can
show the court that YOU have kept sober per-
haps you can be admitted" "a
We are not sure that any Judge on the
bench has ever applied the law so faithfully to
this class Of cases. The people will more
readily sustain and commend his course be-
cause Judge Cutting has never been under re-
proach of being a partisan or fanatic.

A STUMBLING HIGH BINpER.-The Hon.
Erastus Corning, President Of the New

remarkable activity, is lame. He was one day

the track, sang out with marked Celtic ac

"ELM HOUS En-
A NEW DISCOVERY!
A Patent Compound for the Cure
Of the PILES!
by VIM. CARR, Bath, Me.


A FTER suffering sixteen years and trying every.
IA thing that could be found In the market recon-
mended for that complaint without finding any
lief, the inventor this compound thought he would
try an experiment. and finally succeeded in findinga
remedy that has effected permanent cure. After
waiting four years for the purpose OF asceraining
whether the cure was perfect, and not having had
the slightest touch of It during that time. lie then
advertised 1t in the Bath Times for year. Since
Its introduction II has proved itselfto be the best
edy ever brought before the public complaint
Its made of different things that grow In the
fields and pastures that good for any take.
II has been taken by children but three years old,
and from that up to people of seventy years and has
effected cure in almost every case. Some people
are troubled with other complaints in connection
with this, and he does not claim that this medicine
will cure every disease that people are subject to- but
those troubled with the Piles need not despair. Many
who have been troubled with the Piles but few
years have been cured by the of single bottle;
but for those who have had the disease in their blood
twenty or thirty years it will require more.
This medicine has been taken by hundreds in the
city of Bath and its vicinity and has proved to -
the BEST REMEDf ever discovered for the above
complaint. IL got up expressly for the Piles, but
for Inflammation of the Bowels II is second TO none.
The inventor wishing to send il TO other cities and
towns TO let the people satisfy themselves of its heal
ing and cleansing virtues has been at the expense OF
securing patent.

Gold by the ShOveIfull.
From the Dallas (0regon) Mountaineer.


A tradition has been current for years,
that some lost immigrants, in ls45, while
wandering through the country drained by
the Malhenr, discovered mines where gold
could be raked by the shovelfull. At the
time, the discoversrs were ignorant of the
characteristics Of gold in its native state,
and accordingly they passed on, regarding
the metal as worthless. Afew years later,
some of these men were attracted to Cali
fornia, and on visiting the mines there,
almost the first remark was, that
they knew where bushels of that kind of
stuff were to be had. Since that date,
scarce a year has passed, that did not wit
ness the departure of companies of men
who were sent for the purpose of discover
ing the country described by the immi-
grants. These exploring parties have uni
formily proved failures, owing, in great
measure to the hostility OF the Indians,
who have resolutely refused to allow the
white man to prospect their country At
last, however, party more fortunate than
the rest have succeeded in finding the long
lost goldfeld, and, if reports are to be be-
lieved, the story of its r lchness has not
been exaggerated by the original discov-
erprs
