Onthe 10th inst.-the ninety y-second anniyer-
sary of the battle of Lexington and Concord. a
monument was erected in the latter town to
the memory of the heroes who fell, not in the
Revolutionary struggle but, in the late war
Mr.. Ralph Waldo Emerson made the dedica-
tory address, from brief report OF which we
copy the following;
This monument was an evidence of the
truth that no State could live in which an in
jury to the least member was not damage to
the whole. The war was an angel in disguise
which heaven sent us, as it did to natlous that
need the lesson, and it made the divine provi-
dence credible TO many who did not believe be-
fore that the good heavens were quite honest
1t was found, contrary to belief, that the couu-
try was at heart aoolitionist. Armies like cit.
les, generated vast heat, and lifted soldiers TO
the boiling point; and 50 our soldiers carried q
higher civilization to the South, their Invasion
cate that section. The New England farmers.
who went to Kansas peaceful men, and turned
pale at cut finger, when they saw the butch
cries of women and babes became beside them
selves with rage, and were changed into terri
BILE avengers.
Mr.. Emerssn said this obelisk was a record
only OF the dead, but there was something par.
tial in this distribution of honor. Ihose who
went out and came not back deserved all the
honor we could pay; but those who went and
returned deserved as much. In other Countries
medals would be bestowed upon them. He
hoped their disuse here was because the COM
Inunity acknowledged their indebtedness 10
the soldiers, and deemed that their claims to
gratitude did not need such recognition. He
hoped that they would be permitted to rest with
the laurels OF one war; but ii another should
come, the knowledge OF their presence would
be as wall or fire around u.s. Tuouoh
the cannon volleys of this day had q funeral
echo, he was sure the surviving soldiers would
hear through them the beneaiotions of their
country and of mankind

In the discussion Of the budget in the Eng
hsh House Of Commons on the 4th inst. Mr.
Gladstone in commenting on Mr.. Disraeli's
plan for reduction of the national debt spoke
as follows of the financial management of tha
United States
"Let us not be ashamed to follow a GOOD ex-
ample wherever we may find it, or to render q
just tribute OF admiration to the courage and
forethought OF the American people, who ara
at this moment bearing large burden OF tag
alton, both in its amount and kind, which IN axes
their conduct marvel, because they believe
that the true secret of their future power lies
in the steady and rapid reduction OF their debt,
[Hear, hear 1t is really worth while to con-
slider what the Americans have done. Tho
highest point OF the American debt was reach
ed on the 31st August, 1866, when
it stood at 2757 million dollars
Immediately after that the process of reduc-
ton commenced, and on the 30th June, 1886.
the debt had been reduced to the amount Of
1850 million dollars. On the 3lst October.
1886, it was reduced to 2,543 million dollars.
Ike total decrease of debt between August
3lst, 1865, and January 1st, 1867, was IA IL
million dollars, or nearly &43 300a 900 sterling
and this amount has been taken out of lie
taxation of the country in the period OF six-
teen months. Passing by the argument uf INV

peOple, Anu Will Tie IOTluluaDAe cnar&cter of
the conflict which we or any other country
must sustain in war with tlem. The people
have not idly and vainly imagined that
the true secret of their success is In
time of peace to keep up huge armaments.-
[Hear, hear.l believe that they have Judged
rightly in determining that the true bass of
their national power is to husband ana save
their resources in ordinary times, and to devel-
op them without stint So tar from acceuipr
to the doctrines OF my honored irieud [Sir e.
Bowerl cherish the hope that this nagni-
cent example set by the American peoplo will
have its effect not only in this country but in
Europe, and will shame the nations on the soI,-
tinent out of that suicidal policy by which
they have not only wasted their resources by
creating standing armies for idle parade, but
what is worse, have created serious and posi-
tive danger, as being ready means of conflict.
tHear, hear. am sure the prevailing senti-
ment of the house will be to convey to tho
American people, to the authorities there. a.d

to apply the same vigorous and prudent hand

State Of New Hampshire, to some ra;lroo,, :,
the State OF Vermont, which has been or eLsI

line of railroad from Portland 10 Oeds nsfnra

If our bonds are not to be issued to aid said
Railroad within year why should we be cali

Jority OF the Aldermen. What viii they con-

And ii the majority of said Aldermen shall No
come satisfied that such a railroad will bo cor0-
pleted, does that give our people any assurance
that it will be completed? II we vote in tho
affirmative on this question, can it be said wa
we have voted to make the loan? No; we vote
to delegate the power to the Mayor and Alder
men to determine the very questions, that ths
law contemplates, the people shall determine
by majority OF two-thirds.
If we make these loans, we must raise in
each year three per cent. of the amount Of the
loans, In addition to the interest, commencing
the third year after the loans, unless the same.
shall be satisfactorily provided for in some 9TH
or way.
This is not the place to discuss the question.
But we think a much shorter and better road
to the West can be obtained from Gorham N.

cost to Portland. True, this involves a con-
nection with the At & St. Law. RI Co. On

SMOKING TOBACCO.

SMOKING TOBACCO.
The cHINaARoRA ToBACco.g ows from the
rich soil of the "oRIENT." and Is possessed of Pc
cuariy delicious lavol entirely unknown to tho to-
bacco Of all other climes. But its unprecedented
popularity has sprung from the fact of the entire ab
sence of that deadly poison Nicot, which permeates
every other tobacco and which Is the one and sole
cause OF the distressing nervous Diseases dyspepsia
&C., which most invariably sooner or later follow
the indulgence of the pipe and cigar At the recent
analyzation of tobacco from all parts of the world
at the Academy Of Sciences. in Pnris the renowned
Chemist, M. LAMoUREAUx, declared that while Eu-
ropean and American tobacco contained fully eight
per cent, and the purest Havana tobacco from two
to five per cent. of Nicotin, the CHINGARORA did
not contain discoverable particle of that deadly
poison, drop OF which, extracted will destroy life.
Our Agent at BOMBAY has shipped us large guam
titles of the CHINGARORA during the past two
years, and although we have been pressed to supply
the demand for this delicious luxury to the veteran
smoker, yet now prepared to offer it in unlim-
tied quantities, at price much lower than some
American tobacco of far inferior quality.
A connoisseur has but to smoke the American to-
bacco and segals, which are Invariably chemically
favored, to be disgusted with the medicinal taste
mouth, and in time seldom fails to shatter the nsr-
vous system. T.f.
The natives OF the "ORfENT" smoke the CHIN
GARoRA from morn till night, nom youth to age,
and are happily unconscious of ths wild, distressing
fire which courses through the veins of the inhaler of
the fumes of tobacco containing Nieotin.
We invite every lover OF the weed to try the CHIN
GARoRA, and guarantee unprecedented pleasure In
its delicious favor.
