Where the Peoples Money Goes.

"The public printing Office has just
turned out one of the finest pieces of ty-
biographical workmanship ever executed
in this country. 1t is a volume of $40
pages, about the size of a large pulpit or
family Bible, bound in the highest style
of Turkish morocco, costing thirty-seven
dollars a volume. Its contents are the
expressions of coincidence, abroad and at
home, on the death of Mr.. Lincoln. 1t
embraces everything on the subject, from
Queen Victoria letter to the resolutions
Of town meeting in Boone county, Mis-
souri,. How many of these costly vol
umes were printed | do not know. Every
Congressman has been furnished with
one, and | am told the amount of mouey
expended upon it exceeds hundred
thousand dollars. Public money is sell
dom so uselessly squandered as in this
outlay. A Democratic Congressman told
me the other day that he would want no
better argument for his constituents than
the simple exhibition of that volume, to
prove the reckless extravaganza of the
administration. He added that he should
carry his copy round with him in the
next campaign, and show it to the peo-
pie, to let them see what they have got
for their hundred thousand dollars
The above is an extract from Wash
ington letter in the Commercial The
costly volume to which allusion is made,
is, we understand, after all, incomplete.
A supplement is being talked of, and will
probably be issued ere long. This sup
plement, it is said, will contain an inven-
tory of Mrs President Lincoln's ward
robe, which that amiable lady endeavored
in vain to sell in New York few months
after Eincoln's death, under the assumed
name of Mrs, Clark. II viii also contain
some of the spicy disclosures of Mrs.
Keckley's book, she being a negro do
mestio in the late lamenteds family,
which has been recently published, and
throws much light upon matters and
things preceding the assassination. In
this Lincoln testimonial, also, there have
been omitted many of those highly tia-
vorcd jokes which gave such zest and
piquancy to his administration. This
omission will have to be supplied IN the
forthcoming supplement bingham's
speech in Congress, showing that an In
nocent woman-Mrs. Surratt-was exc
cuted upon the false charge that she was
concerned in Mr.. Lincoln assassination,
will appear in the supplement, having
been strangely left out Of the original
volume. The supplement will no, cost
half as much as the first volume, but viii
be far more interesting. and its appear
ance will be looked for with interest

A Snake Fancisr Dies from the Bite OF one
Of his Pets.

Of his Pets.
From the Baltimore Sun. May ltt.l
Mr.. John Brooks, well.known bird
and snake fancier, residing at No. &c
East Fayette street, about o'clock yes
terday afternoon, whilst playing with a
pet rattlesnake, was bitten by the rep
tile, and died within fifteen minutes.
Coroner Sutzer held an inquest, the
jury rendering verdict Of death from
the bite OF snake" II was in evidence
that the deceased was exhibiting his
snake TO some friends, when it turned
upon him and bit him on the left cheek,
high up toward the eye. He at once
replaced the snake in its cage and took
a strong stimulant, remarking to his wife
and daughter that his time had come.
They assisted him up stairs, where he
took an affeetionate leave of his family,
and expired in few moments.
DR. Liebmann, who was called in, was
Of the opinion that the poison from the
reptile at once reached the brain. Mr..
Brooks was in his forty.ninth year, and
leaves a wife and six children. He had
been for many years engaged in the bust
ness Of suffer and preserver Of birds aud
animals, and had on several previous oc-
casions been bitten by reptiles about a
year ago by the same reptile that caused
his death. On the former occasion he
was bitten in the arm. and by the use of
stimulants, binding the arm and bathing
il, he then recovered in few days. The
scence presented where the deceased lay
was not often met with. Every portion
of the apartment in which was the corpse
appeared to be filled with stuffed reptiles,
birds, dogs, etc., presenting the appear
ance Of a curiosity shop. The deceased
thus died as he had lived, surrounded by
the varied specimens Of the animal crea.

Pennsylvania and the Presentation ofNew
York's Fancy Presidential Tickets.

The Philadelphia Age has a very
proper notice of some of the fancy Pres
idential tickets which have lately been
presented to the people by certain New
York politicians The Age says;
As Pennsylvania casts over oRe-tenth
of the vote in the Electoral College,
weuld it not be well, in making these
little arrangements, to wait until she was
present to assist Of one thing our
New York friends may feel assured, that
Pennsylvania intends to be consulted In
this matter with no undue claims, but to
the full extent of her importance, and
the weight of her position in the coming
contest. There are those-we do not
say that we share in their opinion-who
think that New York has too much in
huence in the National Convention of
the Democratic party. With this senti-
ment prevailing, aud much more largely
held than our friends in New York think,
we should be sorry to see any thing which
could give color to charge of undue in-
reference on their part, or which looks
like prearrangement or forestalling the
action Of the Convention. In July, IN
New York, there will be plenty Of good
and true men from all over the land.
Their judgment and combined opinion
will be Of more value than that OF the
Manhattan Club. And Pennsylvania
will be on hand to have her say in the
matter. Until then we think the Demo-
Gratis Of New York had better wait

No Reaction.

When we say that the spring elections in the
different States show no reaction favorable to
the Democratic party, we do not mean that
claims of that kind have not been made. In
New York, the claim is founded upon special
dispatches to the New York World. From the
local papers in the counties where these cleo
tien have been held, and from the New York
Tribune-a paper that gives election returns
which all parties concede to be accurate-we
learn that these returns are false. Utica has
20less Democratic majority than last year; Au-
burn has increased its Republican majority:
Ithaca gives Republican gain of 113. In some
other towns and cities the Democrats have
made corresponding gains, leaving the two par
ties, SO far as can be determined by elections SO
much affected by local causes, of just about
the same relative strength as last fall. 1t is
poor policy to pervert election returns to par
tisan purposes, for the detection which speed
lily follows destroys all public confidence in the
papers that are guilty of the trick. The Buffalo
Express exposes the fabrications of the DEM
ocratlc papers as to elections in Western New
York, and shows that the Democrats are acta-
ally losing ground. They claimed gains in
Batavia and Corning; but in fact Batavia
shows a Democratic loss and Corning a R, :
publican gain.
Democratic papers have manipulated the re-
turns from our own municipal elections in the
same way. The Argus claimed Cape Eliza
beth by75 majority, and has not retracted the
statement although we have shown that no
election took place in that town. Saco was
put down as Democratic gain. The local pa
per shows a Republican gain of $50. Why
doesn't the Argus correct its mistake? Again,
what reader of the Argus but believes to-day
that Newcastle, New Hampshire has increased
its Democratic majority? The returns show
Republican gain. So do the returns from
Newport, Kentucky, and Omaha, Nebraska
The latter town has heretofore elected Dem
ocratic officers.
In the Argus of yesterday no mention is
made of Republican triumphs in Memphis
and Nashville, Tennessee, while news of the
Democratic success in Lexington, Kentucky
which came on the sams tslegraphic sheets, is
printed. To all Of these facts We hope the Ar
gus will make some better reply than might
be expected from the La Crosse Democrat, the
refined and classic vocabulary of which the
Argus has been stealing the last month

RocKLAND, March 9, 1868.
To the Editor Of the Press
Fire broke out at IL O'Clock Yesterday
morning, in Warren Fales's lime shed. ON
Crockett's Point Several kilns are connect
ed, standing on the south shore of the bav.
The wind was nearly south and the engines
were promptly on hand, so that the fire was
stayed before all the sheds were consumed
Four sheds, with the wood and casks of lime
contained in them, were destroyed. The kilns
were injured. The losses, as accurately as
they can now be stated, are as follows:
Warren Fales loses in all from $4,000 to
$4,000. Insured for $500. Saves some limel
perhaps enough to cover loss.
Cornelius Hanrahan loses $1,000 or more.
Insured for $4,000. Expects to lose totally, af-
ter saving lime, nearly $4,000.
j. w. Soules loss, some $4,000. No insur-
anca.
William McLoon will lose about $1,000.
mf. Wheeler, who occupied McLoon's kiln
ana shed, loses $500.
'eSsrs. Hunt and Wilson & Son were busy
III removing empty casks and casks of lime,
but the nre was stayed before reaching their
sheds. The wharf was lined with scboopers
which stood IN imminent danger. but did not
take fire. The hydrants contained no water
but fortunately it was food tide. The steamer
more than paid for ITSELF
