E TRUTH UNWILLING FALsEHooD. This splen-
did painting is attracting large crowds Of visit
ors to Hale's Gallery, whoexpress their delight
freely; and we have heard from many sources
the remark that our citizens ought to wake up
to the work Mr.. Hale is doing to cultivate a
taste for the fine arts among them by the choice
gems and great works of celebrated artists he
isconstantly placing on exhibition. The paint
ing will only remain in the city short time
longer, and we would advise our different Sab
bath School Superintendent, as well as the
teachers in our public schools, to make ar
rangements so that the children may have an
opportunity to look at this Instructive moral
allegory.

Gov. CHAHBERLAIS delivered the address at
the dedication of the soldiers monument at
Plymouth Mass, on Saturday. He began by
quoting from Napoleon-'Dead on the field of
honorr' and asked if the whole land was not
now a field Of honor. 1t is not that these men
are dead, but that they are SO dead mot as if
they fellty one Of the thousand chances of this
mortal lot, but that they offered themselves
willingly to die in a cause vital and dear to hui
mainly" a
The address was a beautiful eulogy upon the
soldiers who had died for their country, and
concluded as follows: "Stand, them, o Mon
ument. Resist the shock of elements and the
touch Of time-eloquent with these deathless
names Andye, o Martyrs, tell teafter ages
what virtue was in this; tell to our delivered
country how precious are her foundations;
tell to enfranchised humanity that liberty can
not die'' 10

THE JUNIOR BASE BALL CHAMPIONSHIP
Nearly all the Junior Clubs belonging to the
State Association have been recently to Au-
gusta with hopes to win the gold mounted bat
/ which is the emblem of the Junior Champion

the North Star Club in this city last season
Thus far all have been defeated and thesAu.
gusta boys hold undisputed possession OF the
prize. This morning the Resolute Club of this
city 60 to try their luck, and if fair play is
shown them we can expect to hear good re-
| port from that quarter tonight
As the Eons had laid aside the bat for the
present season, Mr.. Abbott, their efficient
catcher, being anxious to continue in the field,
joined the Resolute club after the senior tourn-
ament, and is now their captain. We have
heard much complaint Of unfairness from the
Augusta people toward the clubs going there
and we have been told that a fair trial cannot
be had at that place. We trust that such will
not be the case to-day, and il the Dirigo club
are confident Of their ability to retain the en-
blem, they should certainly desire fair game

never depart. The hawser that holds the old

Democracy last year, when it counseled
strongly and convincingly against any move
ment except an abrupt retrograde one, its com
maids are not now needed. There is no re-
Spouse from the rural districts. The provin

great heart CT the party, unmoyable in its
traditional hatred of the niger beats res
ponsive to no other note. The Tammany
movement has fallen absolutely stiil-born on
the country, and it is no more remembered. ;.
No recent event has so clearly indicatedthe
terrible prostration Of Democratic energy as
this formal endeavor Of Hoffman, Tweed, Hall
and O'Gorman to lead the party by new
way to new conquests and the instant and r.
retrieyable failure Of the effort. 1t was only

oblivion covers their undertaking. Rooted in

elements ofthe body polite, adhering to AL

old Democratic party only that old, old de-
