The Suffrage Question.

Nearly every religious paper that comes to
our Office takes strong emphatic and unmis-
taxable ground in favor of equal suffrage, suf-
frage based on manhood, irrespective of race
or color. Toms Herald, the organ of New
England Methodism, closes an excellent arti-
Gle on the late suffrage vote in the House OF
Representatives, as follows:
If any wish to restrict the right of suffrage
tocertain reasonable qualifications, which may
be necessary to the safety of Republican In
situations, we will not object, provided no dis
elimination is made against the color of the
skin. When it bears equally against the for
eigner and the native born white man, we will
meekly submit, but until then, never. We
believe the God of nations requires, demands
this at our hands, holds the church and the
nation responsible, and will in due time pun
ish both, should they prove false to this i'm
portant duty.
II any of our readers are unwilling to grant
suffrage to the colored man on precisely the
same principle as to the white man, we invite
him to reduce his arguments to writing and
send them to us for publication. If not too
long drawn out" we shall be glad to pub
lish them to the world.

there was an unusual vivacity, enjoyment and

The Cattle Disease.

The fearfully rapid spread of this mysterious
plague in England has, of course, turned the
attention of all scientific medical men in the
one direction of inquiry into its nature and
origin. Opinions are greatly divided. The
distinguished DR.. Murchison has expressed
belief that the "rinder-pest," as it is called, is
nothing more or less than virulent small pox
He shows the identical character of the symp-
toms, and suggests vaccination as RENE
dy, his conviction being that cattle which have
had kline pox are exempt from the malady.-
The fact that the proportion of fatal cases is
so much larger than among human beings at
tackled by the disease, he attributes in part to
the thickness of the hide which prevents the
pustules from appearing, and in part to the in
judicious treatment of the practitioners who
have failed to recognize the disease. The
London Lancet endorses this opinion of DR..
Murchison; and there are not wanting other
supporters of the theory among scientific men
The subject is certainly one of the utmost
Importance, since the disease if not arrested
bids fair to deprive whole nations of their
chief supply of animal food. No measures
should be deemed too stringent which can have
the effect to prevent its introduction into this
country. '

THE LIGHT BREAKS IN.-The Gas Com
pany's Committee have proposed to the city, to
reduce the price of gas to $50 per NJ. This
is reduction of so cents on every $500, or
z IL per cent. The Gas Committee declined
to make any discrimination in favor of the
city, holding that the citizen is entitled to the
same privilege as the city in this respect. Il
the price is fixed below 1910, to the city, the
citizen must pay proportionally more, which IS
not deemed Just or equitable, and will netzBe
consented to by the directors. II the<el&

swiftly round We wheels of time" and knock
down, not only this article of prime necessity,
but many others, to within hailing distance Of
what they were before the war.
We are informed by the officers of the com
pany, that the imperfect light from gas in the
early part of the evening, for the last few
nights, has been owing to the necessity OF max
ing some connection of large pipe, at the works,
and the unavoidable admission of air into the
pipes. Difficulties of one sort and another are
liable to occur-especially in the cold season
in delivery of gas; but they viii be prevented
and remedied by the company as far as posi-

Compliment to q Canadian.

The Philadelphia Press thus speaks of Hon.
A. T. Calf, a Canadian Cabinet Minister, now
or recently in Washington on official business
connected with the commercial interests of
the two countries. Mr.. Gait is well known to
many gentlemen of this city. Says the Press:
One of the ablest of Canadian publicists,
perhaps the very ablest, who is head of the
has a seat in the Canadian Cabinet, as Minis
ter of Finance. He is a friend and pupil of
Mr.. Francis Hincks, once Premier of Canada,
and now Governor of British Guiana (which
includes Demerara, Essequibo, and Berbice),
was a member of Sir Allan MacNab's Govern
ment, in 1856, and, indeed, has been Cabinet
Minister almost through the last ten years.
His father, well known as a writer of clever
Scotch novels, (among which the best are
"Sir Andrew Wylie,") came to British North
America, in 1926, las agent for the Canada Com
pany, built the town of Guelph, in one of the
forests of Canada West, was recalled in 1929,
and, after his departure, received the local
compliment of having the newly-built town of
Gait named after him. The son, who received
an excellent education, all that his father
could give him, adopted Canada as his coun-
try long years ago, and is as well acquainted
with its capabilities, feelings and interests as
any man now living In negotiation, whoev-
er has to deal with A. T. Gait will have to
mind what he is about, for he will be opposed
by gentleman of high culture and unaffected
manners, quiet in conversation, logical, but
never vehement in argument, master of all
the facts on every side of the question, I'M
pressive from his very calmness, carefully nom
committal on his own side, and very vigilant
in noticing any slip upon the other, never aim
ing at oratorical display, but able to arrange
his facts and reasons with an exquisite clear
ness, which, while it appears plain and simple
to degree, really is the very perfection of the
art and craft of craftsmanship. 1t will not be

The Lost Tales of Miletus, is the title of
new work by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton soon
to be published in London.
One Of the most singular photographed
curiosities extant belongs to the family of the
Prince De Ligne, in France. 1t is entitled
"Liber PASSIONS Nostri Jesu Christicum char
acteribus mulla materia compositis." This
book is neither written or printed The whole
letters of the text cut out of each folio upon
the finest vellum; and being interviewed with
blue paper, it is read easily the best print.
The labor and patience bestowed on its compile
ton must have been excessive, especially when
the precision and minuteness of the letters are
considered. The general execution in every
respect, is indeed admirable, and the vellum is
of the most delicate and costly kind. Rodol-
plus II. of Germany, offered for it in 1910,
II 900 ducats, which was probably equal to $780,,
900 at this day. The most remarkable circum-
stance connected with this literary treasure
is, that it bears the royal arms of England, but
it cannot be traced to ever have been in that
country.

THE SUN SPoTs.-The following appeared
in the London Morning Star:
aThe SIM for some time hes been in a con-
dit;on of considerable quietude; few spots
have been seen on its surface; but at the pres
emit time spots of considerable magnitude are
reversing its disk. To-day TUESDAY, Oct. 81
7 examined the disk of the sun, and observed,
nassing off the western limb, very large, ex-
tremely well-defined and very symmetrical
spot. The nucleus was large and intensely
black, and the penumbra formed well-mark-
ed border Of considerable breath. estimate
roughly that the diameter of the nucleus was
thirty thousand miles, and that of the pc
numbra fifty thousand miles. l never saw a
single unbroken sun-spot large, bold and we'll
defined. On the opposite or eastern limb
another large spot was making its appearance,
and the luminous philosophers of the sun near
it had that peculiar frilled and pulled appear
ance which often characterizes it when large
spot is either entering upon or passing off its
visible surface. The luminous matter round
the spot presented the appearance Of rolling
and undulating pillows.
I do not belieye that those spots which are
occasionally, as in this instance, tolerably per-
manent are at all compatible with the modern
theory of combustion on the sun, or indeed
with any theory, electrical, incandescent, COM
bustive, meteoric, or otherwise, that has yet
oeen suggested.

Adelaide Anne Proctor.

In the spring of the year 1858, observed,
as conductor OF the weekly journal Household
Words, short poem among the proffered
contributions, very different as 1 thought,
from the shoal Of verses perpetually settling
through the Office of such a periodical, and
possessing much more merit. Its authoress
was quite unknown to me. She was one Miss
Mary Berwick, whom had never heard off;
and she was to be addressed by letter, if adj
dressed at all. at circulating library in the
western district Of London. Through this
channel, Miss Berwick was informed that her
poem was accepted, and invited to send anoth-
er. She complied, and became regular and
frequent contributor. Many letters passed
between the journal and Miss Berwick, but
Miss Berwick herself was never seen. How
we came gradually to establish, at the office of
Household Words, that we knew all about
Miss Berwick, l had never discovered. But,
we settled somehow, to our complete satisfac-
ton, that she was governess in family !:
that she went to Italy in that capacity. and re-
turned; and that she had long. been in the
same family. We really knew nothing what
ever OF her. except that she was remarkably
business-like, punctual, selfrelant. and reIia-
Die SO suppose we nSensibly invented the
rest For myself my mother was not a moro
real parsonage to me, than Miss Berwick tbe
governess became. This went on until De-
cember, 1854, when the Christmas Number
en- tiled, "The Seven Poor Travellers went
to press.
Happening to be going to dine that day
with an old and dear friend, distinguished in
literature as Barry Cornwall, l took with me
an early proof OF that number, and remarked,
that it contained very pretty poem, written
by certain Miss Berwick. Next day sent
me the disclosure that | had so spoken of the
poem to the mother of its writer, in the wri-
ters presence; that L had no such correspon-
dent in existence as Miss Berwick; and that
the name had been assumed by Barry Corn
wars Oldest daughter, Miss Adelaide Anne
Proctor.

The Suicide of the Spanish Admiral.

If it be fact that Admiral Pareja has made
his brains of no further use to him by scatter
: ing them with a pistol-shot, he has Certainly
done one thing for which the ChiIlian antbo,.
tiles will hold him in high respect he be-
haved with all the hauteur of an old stvle
Don toward Chill; and consistent maiaten-
ance of that kind of pride would rather require
him to play the dramatic part which is Thought
by many to be at once its proof and sequel
We have no suspicion that there was any
"guilty conscience" about this affair. 1t was
nothing but mixture of Castiian concet and
twisted moustaches. The Admiral might
have stood in fear of having forfeited the IA
vor of his Queen and royal mistress; and it is
pretty certain, too, that he felt the humilia-
tlon OF the late Gillian navy victory; crowd
ed between these two considerations, he saw
only room enough to draw his pistol and use
it upon himself. So the Chilians NAV fairly

CHANCE To "STRIKE ILE."-We take pleas
ure in directing attention to the advertisement
in this paper of the "Androscoggin Land and
Petroleum Company" company chartered
by the Legislature of this State, and of which
Gen. Virgin, President of the State Senate. is
the President. We feel quite sure that the
gentlemen whose names appear in connection
with this company, would not knowingly lend
their names and influence to any swindling
concern or doubtful speculation. They are
honest men, and have unbounded confidence
in the success of the enterprise in which they
have enlisted. ..
Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., Esq, the treasurer of
the company, gentleman not unknown to the
readers of light literature, is now in the city
for the purpose of directing the attention Of
our people to this matter, and as he is fsza-
tleman in every sense of the word-intelligent
genial, urbane and candid,-those who call on
him viii not only be able to get well posted,
but will gain from him a vast amount of infor-
nation which his opportunities and converse,
tional powers have eminently fitted him to
impart.
The advertisement or prospectus" referred
to above, was written by Mr.. Cobb, and we
commend it to the reader, who will do well to
examine it with care.
