erWhen at Portland on last Friday
night, we were assured by many Re-
publicans, that many Dem ocrats were
coming over to our ranks. They gave
the names ofsome Of fthem. and assured
us that from twenty FIVE to thirty had
recently turned in Jefferson and Madi-
son townships. They claim that Jeffer-
son will not give less than 200 Repub,
lican majority. They say that such an
anomaly as Welsh Democrat will
soon be unknown in that locality.

Backing Out.

Irvine DUNCAN challenged John L.
Jones to debate with him. Mr. Jones
promptly accepted the challenge. Mr..
DUNCAN then backed square out, and
said that'a general challenge would be
given. The Democratic Central Com
mittee then published a series of Demo
cratic meetings, and invited the Repub-
LEANS to come and discuss with them.
They knew well enough that the Re
publicans would not interfere with
their meetings. But II they desire
discussion, they can have it at any
time, when they propose it on equal
terms Will you do thisl If SO, see
our Central Committee.

sFou last Thursday might've debated
with DR.. l T. Monahan at Berlin, aud
on Friday night Portland. The rains
prevented many from coming, but we
had fair number present at both
places. At Portland the heat so over
came us that we did not speak our full
time.
The DR., is Dragging about how he
beat us. We expected that, A man
who is so vain as to think that he used

entirely used up, We leave the peo-

srThere is a great deal of talk in the
papers about the correspondence be-
tween Gen, Rosecrans aud Gen. Lee.
IL was about this ways Gen. Rosecrans
went to White Sulphur Springs, Va,
and met Lee, and other traitors He
wrote to Lee that he came with his
heart in his hand, and wanted Lee to
tell him what the rebels wanted. He
told Lee that he, Lee, was a great pa
triot, and a great friend OF the consti-
tuition and the Union, Lee answered
that the rebels did not want the negroes

A APPROACHING NoRLEmAN.

Lord Radstock is preaching in Paris and
making an impression in some circles. Be
sides discourses in the American and Wes-
leyan chapels, be has been addressing a
fashionable assembly once a week in the
elegant drawing-room of Lady Cowper,
where seventy or eighty people meet to
hear him. At the close he invites those
who wish to have religious conversation to
remain for thatpurpose, when he gives them
personal instruction in the way Of life
This remarkable young English nobleman
Is the grandson of the Hon. Admiral
Waldegraye, who was raised to the peerage
of England in 1900, though he was then
the scion of still older family of the no
billLy. Lord Radstock himselfis not much
over thirty years of age, and having be-
come deeply interested in religious things
he has been identified with the Plymouth
brethren, people who do not recognize
the need of any ordained ministry
every Christian, in their view, being called
to preach according to hisgifts any opportu-
nifty. Lord Radstoek has gifts, and the graces
of an earnest, spiritual, devoted Chris
tian. Had he been born in humble life be
might have become a first rate preacher
AS it is, in spite of the disadvantages of
high birth and culture, he is an interesting
speaker, and the deep sincerity of his
heart and manner carries his audience with
him. In many parts of England he has
enjoyed great reyivals of religion, with
multitudes of conversions, and his labors
are sought widely. But he prefers to work
in neglected localities, and mainly among
the poor and ignorant. On the continent
he has travelled extensively; and he loves
to gather the poor and address them in
their own language, If it is one that he can
speak, or by an interpreter, il he cannot.
And the direct, simple and affectionate
manner in which he offers the gospel to the
multitude commends it to their acceptance,
and much good is done in the name of the
Lord Jesus. That he will be equally sue
cessful with the ''ladies in elegant morning
toilets" who throng the salon of Lady Cow
per, on avenue Friedland, in Paris, we
have some doubts. 1t is trne that "not |
many mobiles are called" and the preacher |
himself is one of them; and as the grace
of God is not limited, we may hope that |
the fashionable world of the gayest city in
the world is not so wholly given to pleas
nre as to be impervious to the spirit of |
truth

THE FASHIONS IN THE TIME OF
GEORGE III

OF the fashions in those days, we learn
that though the drapery worn was of the
scantiest, il was not considered delicate or
refined to uncover the forehead. Some
young ladies who had been abroad were
considered bold looking, because they wore
their hair Madonna fashion. Ladies not
in Ia premiere jeunesSe, very generally wore
wigs; the princesses had their heads shaved,
and worewigs ready dressed and decorated
for the evening, to save time for the toilet
Widows almost always shaved their heads :;
Lady Murray says her mothers beautiful
hair had been cut off for her deep MOURN
ing, and she never wore anything but wig
in after years, At Windsor Castle, in those
days, luncheon was not, as it is now,
general meal. Each lady had chicken, a
plate of frnit and bottle of Kings cup
(the peel of lemon put to soak for some
hours in cold water, and then sWeetened
with sugar. brought TO her room every
day. Those were the days for servants
perquisites On all the highest saints DAYS,
a tinsel cross Of divers colors was placed
on the tables of the ladies, or sent to their
residences, and guina was understood to
be due in return. A bottle of wine every
two days, and unnecessary wax candles
were the perquisites of the ladies' maids.
Candles were extinguished as soon as lit, to
be carried off by servants; pages were seen
marching out before the royal family with
a bottle of wine sticking out of each pocket;
and the state page called regularly upon
each person who attended the drawing
rooms, with his book, to receive the accus-
toned gratuity.

CHARTER ELEcrIoNsrN GEORGIA

The Macon Journal and Messenger of
the Goth ult, says:
Upon tlie arrival of General Meade ON
Tuesday evening, he sent for Mayor Obear
and had friendly talk with him. The
General stated that he would soon issue an
order postp oning the charter, elections in
Georgia until some time after the 10th of
April-the precise day he had not yet de
termined upon. That his reasons for so
doing were that he intended that the eleo.
ton should be perfectly fair and that on
the 20th, negroes from all around the cities
would be in town, and would, he appre-
hended, illegally vote the municipal ticket
which he did not intend to allow. Before
that election correct registration of all
voters living in such corporations would
be ordered. He was very earnest in declar-
ing that the elections should be conducted
fairly, and nothing illegally permitted if
he could help it."

THE MINES OF THE LAKE SUPE-
RI0R DISTRICT

The following interesting statistics in
regard TO the production of iron in the
Marquette district we gather from the
Lake Superior Miner: Rapid as has been
the development of the iron interest of
Lake Superior, the year 1867 stands ont in
its history as unprecedented. A decade
has scarcely passed since the first shipment
of iron ore from the mines Of Marquette
county was made and yet the grand result
of the year Just closed is half million
tons-equal to one-fourth of the entire
product of the United States. The popu-
lation Of the country, as made mp from re.
liable estimates, has been increased during
the year by about 1000. The total popu-
lation now cannot fall short of 1900,
