THR Register OF yesterday morning,

tract from the Boston journal we hope
will answer the question satisfactorily

although the Democrats of Maine
have in many localities increased their
vote over that OF last year. 1t would be
entirely safe TO offer II bounty for any

the real explanation of the election. In
Maine, while the prOhibttoTy system Of

and ack uowlsdged policy OF that state,
there has always been section of its
advocates who have striVsn TO ehgrait
upon IL extreme provisions. When ma
lIonnI issues are pressing. these men
vet no hearing. But at other times,
their peTsIstency ana unity of action
give them success In the legislature
as happened last winter
"Thts same experience has been gone
over before. The legislature OF 1850, by
iIa unwise temperance legislation,
brought on "a reaction at the polls that

FRB.-About 4 o'clock, Monday
morning, smoke was discovered issu-
ing from the doors and windows of
the two-story wooden building located
at the corner of Meeting street and
Burns Lane. The alarm was given,
and the Fire Department succeeded
in quenching the flames, but not
until the building had been seriously
damaged. The lower floor was occu-
pied by Mr.. e. W. Eberhardt, as q
grocery. and the upper as his resi-
dence. It made such rapid progress
as to compel Mr.. Eberhardt to effect
his escape by leaping from the win
dow of the upper story, which he did
without suffering any injury.

! TIE Woo1 MARKET. The follow

Southern man to his Northern friend
You say you went into the wool
business during the rebellion. Well,
Iwent into it just before, to the tune OF
$12, 600, and have not now q lock to
show for it. But I suppose there
was this difference. you bought white
sheep and I black ones, My sheep
were never sheared, but they were
very profitable stock. And now one
of, them has strong inclination to
run with me for the convention.
e You insinuate that.you would like
to. know on which side I lost my
property. It was somewhat on both
sides. The secesh burned my cotton
and the other side took my slaves,
and every poor devil in the country
who had bag, helped to distribute
my corn. My mules and horses
Straight stole first, and then Forrest
restole them from Straight.

MORE ISLANDS CRDED. "A despatch
to the New York papers, from San
francisco, states that the King Of the
Eeejee Islands has ceded to the
United States three small islands in a
group, one of which possesses fine
harbor, capable of being converted
into naval station. There have re-
Gently been troubles in these islands
between the natives and American
residents, and the United States
steamship Tuscarora has been cruis-
ing in these regions to investigate the
troubles. Whether the cession of
three islands was intended as an
atonement for any wrong done to
Americans, or whether twas made in
consequence of direct solicitation
from Washington, is not stated. The
King even offered the protectoratel of
all his dominions to the United
States, but Capt. Stanley declined
accepting it, believing that he did not
possess sufficient authority. The
Feejee Islands are group of islands
IN the South Pacific Ocean, East of
the New Hebrides. The entire group
comprises altogether i54 islands, OF
which sixty-fve are inhabited. The
total population is estimated at 1885,
900.
