Bates College,

The prospects of this Institution are
highly cheering. We are reliably in
formed that the energetic efforts of l'resi-
dent Cheney are likely to be crowned
with success. Last April the friends Of
the Maine State Seminary met at Lew
iston in Convention, and by appointment,
certain wealthy gentlemen from Boston
met with them. These gentlemen gave
strong encouragement that if the friends
Of the Institution would raise $4,000
there could be raised in Boston, an ad-
ditional sum Of 1000 for the purpose of
elevating the 5 eminary to the grade OF u
College. In view Of this substantial en-
couragcmcnt, at the present session Of the
Legislature, the name of the Maine State
Seminary, was changed to Bates Col
lege and in order to assist its friends
in raising the required $4,000, the sum
of $4,000 was appropriated out of
the proceeds Of the townships of land
upon condition that $4,000 should be
raised by private subscription. Of this
$50 600 we are we'll informed, that near
ly $4,000 has been already subscribed,
leaving only about ll000 to be raised to
entitlc the College to Il fund of 100000.
The friends Of the proposed College will
see the necessity of raising the amount
at once. The Boston gentlemen to whom
allusion has been made, have started
their subscription, which is headed by
Mr.. Bates with the sum of $4,000, aud
there is no doubt that the entire amount
desired will be promptly subscribed
There are the best reasons to believe that
the $4,000 promised by the Boston
gentlemen will be ready quite as soon as
the authorized agents of the College will
be able te receive it.-Kcmne5ec Journal.

'' Whisky Bill"

Who is whisky Bill !" about whom
such fuss is being in Congress! Can
any one inform us A few years ago a
bIoatol, wreck of humanity, bearing that
suggestive title, frequently ornamented
the police court in Cleveland, but he
went to the pententiary for the glaring
error Of mStaking some other mans
house for his own when he hadn't any
house, AMI never had--burglary it was
called. Has he gore to Congress We
can hardly think it, although he was
pretty low the last We know Of him, and
it is doubtful about prison life having
worked any reform in this case.
Tnc last account that we have from
Whisky Bill in Congress is that he " has
been got off the Speakers desk and re-
ferred to the Ways and Means Commit.
tce." Up to his old habts-sleeping
anywhere but in an honest bed. How
often has Whisky Bill been found taking
his snoozo in doorway or dry goods
box, and luggage to the station house by
the watchful (parent orr guardian of the
night. Sometimes he could be seen of
morning with spears of straw hanging
from his hair, which indicated that he
had been obtaining consrabanl sleep IN
somebody's stable, a great luxury for
William.
Since getting into Congress he seems
to have acquired pass on for mapping it
on the Speakers desk, and we judge that
considerable difficulty was experienced in
Citing him off. He has probably too
drunk to " make notion himself, and
was only got OF by the resolution of tho
House. Resolution" will accomplish
most any thing-some think it will re-
store the Union, hut we think u little
vigorous fighting must be added.
Referred to the W. and NJ. Commit.
tee W. Bill long ago exhausted all the
'rayS and means of living, and it will be
a great relief to him to be handed over
to committee like the above. lie is
making a great sensation to Washing
ton. Gonscripton Bill, Confscation Bill
and the many Williams Of the Abolition
family are completely overshadowcd aud
cc!ipsed by Whisky Bill. Some want
him to pay heavier taxes than any OF his
ncighbors, and others Ito whom Bill is
supposed to be heavily involveI) are in
favor of letting him off lightly. There
hundreds Of people who have come to
Washington to look after him, regardless
OF travelling expenses and the hig gh price
of board, while his career in Congress is
watched with the keenest interest by
thousands in all parts of the country

Curiosities of Newspaper Lit
eratllro.

Newspapers, as we have them now are
singular affairs. Could one of our grand
fathers, who died fifty years ago, return to
earth, few things would astonish him more
than these products of the daily and week
/ ly press. Even we ourselves, if we will
only consider the matter, may find food
for wonder in our ephemeral literature
What, Tor example, Is more worthy of ex
citing our astonishment than "a copperhead
newspaper :! Take for instance the last
Machas Unton and examine it but not
tooc losely lest disgust follow smazement.
First we have an article headed the
Florida Expedition exulting in the mis-
fortune which befel our little army there
and in the loss of 1900 brave men, and ac-
cusing President Lincoln of having caused
it in the endeayor to have delegates cho-
sen from that state, favorable to his own
denomination. :. Nobody" says the Union
" denies the statement, hence it 10
believed to be true !" There is logic for
you. Now we have often heard the Union
editor accused of being u liar and nobody,
TO our knowledge, ever denied the state
ment hence, to use his own phrase, it is
believed to be true.
Article second prophesies that the ad
ministration will devote much more Of
its time its money and men to electoneer-
ing purposes than it will to fighting tho
enemy, as, for instance. the Florida at
tempt and failure.'' Truly, "a second
Daniel come TO judgmcnt;' again, observe
the logic, an example of an unsuccessful
attack upon the enemy given to show that
the administration will not try to fight
them. The next column contains another
accusation. this time assumed as an ad-
mitted fact though, as the editor has shown
above, only derived from an irresponsible
newspaper writer that 1000 or more
lives were exchanged in Florida for three
votes.
Next we have a truly original attack up
OH the administration by a correspondent.
\ fellow i'll Brooksyille was drafted and
concluded to pay no attention to it. TIE
proper authorities tried to arrest him, hs
endeavored to escape and was wounded.
IS The whole of HoWards offending"
says the writer, is that he was drafted
and did not attend to it, That is, only
the law, and, for that, the author
tiles endeayored to punish him. Is not
that specimen of m0ustrous tyranny
Suppose he bad only stolen watch that
he happened to fancy would it have been
tyranny to arrest him for it -
But why 20 on to more nauseating dc

malignant libels and dirty lies
is enough and more than enough for most
e0ple.-Nachtds Republican.
