News ITEMs.-In England an earnest move
ment is now making to return Mr. Gladstone
to parliament from Greenwich This is one of
the largest and strongest liberal boroughs, and
Mr.. Gladstone can be elected without difficulty
if he will stand. 1t is not intended that he
shall abandon the contest for his present seat
from South LIZ ncashire, but there is nothing
to prevent a man from being chosen by two
constituencies at the same time.
Hon. Sidney Perham announces that the ap-
pointment to West Point for the second dis

Dispatches received at Military head quar-
tiers from Alaska state that the troops are in
excellent health. The Indians now regard the
occupation of Sitka and other places with not
unfriendly interest.
Illinois, Iowa and Winconsin represent the
crops to be in very favorable condition.
The crop prospects at the South are very
encouraging indeed. Though from ten to fif-
teen per cent. less land is planted to cotton than
last year, the yield will probably reach three
million bales.
The harvest has commenced in Connecticut,
and all the crops are uncommonly good.

DEATH OF A PUBLIC BENEFAoroR.-Am,

DEATH OF A PUBLIC Observation-Disclosures

Was that of DR.. w. L. G. Morton, who shares
with DR.. G. Z. Jackson the honor of discover
ing the use of ether as in surgical operations
and applying it to its beneficent work of les
SEEMING human suffering. He was born in
Worcester county in 1919, was a farmer,
clerk, school teacher and dentist until his
twenty fifth year, when he began the study of
medicine IN Boston, In the course of his
studies he learned, from DIR. jackson and 9TH
ers, the chief properties of sulphuric ether,
and in 1876 applied this acquired knowledge
successfully to the removal of teeth aud tu-
mors without pain. Whatever may be thought
of his claims as discoverer, he deserves great
credit for the application of an important dis
covery, and his sudden death will be much Ia

MIsTAKE.-We have bevn waiting ever
since last Tuesday for the Argus to correct an
egregious blunder that occurred in its tele-
graphic columns of that morning. The mis-
take occurred in the following unaccountable
paragraph:
BY Mr.. Lynch-providing for Board of
Examiners to examine the navy yards at
Charlestown. Mass, and Kittery, Maine, and
to report at the next session of Congress as to
the exDediency of disseminating the yard at
Kittery
We do not suppose that there was any in
tention to injure Mr. Lynch by representing
him as proposing to discontinue the navy yard
at Kittery instead of that at Charlestown, but
mistake of that kind ought to be promptly
corrected

THAD. STEVENS AS A DEMOCRAT A touch
of iniamy secures the instant adoption of a
man into the Democratic fold. For his devo-
ton to liberty and equal rights Mr. Stevens
has been denounced by the Democracy with
fervor never before equalled. Friday, during
the debate in the House on the funding bill.
Mr.. Stevens suddenly broke out in his intern
perate way with declaration of his well
known views on the greenback question, de-
claring that if he did not believe that the Re-
publican platform meant payment of the five
twenties in greenbacks he would vote for Sey-
mour and Blair. Thereupon Mr.. Ross an II
hnois Democrat rose and said: "The Demo-
cratic doors are still open and the gentleman
can be taken in." r ra
1t is hardly probable that this arrangement
will be consummated, for Mr.. Stevens has not
so far taken leave of decency as to endorse
revolution and the prescription of the laboring
classes in the South, but it is curious to note
how the cropping out OF depravity in single
direction will instantly reconcile Democracy
to lifetime of labor in cause which thew
