The Tide Strong in Hamlin's favor.
Letter from Hon. John Lynch


Especial Dispatch by International Linel
AUGUSTA, Jan. 1S.-Since morning the tide
has been tending very strongly in favsr of Mr.
Hamlin. The Kennebec delegation has quite
generally sigrified their intention to vote for
Mr.. Hamlin, but the more viruent leaders of
the faction from elsewhere are making strenu-
Gus efforts to enlist the grand army of the re-
public to form coalition with the Democrats
on Gov. Chamberlain. 1t is said that the
friends of Mr.. Fessenden are quieted by the
assurance that if the Governor is elected he
will move at once to Bangor. 1t is believed
by the best judges that Mr.. Hamlin will be
elected in both branches tomorrow by an
overwhelming majority.
Mr.. Morrill, left for Washington this noon.
Tonight a letter was received with reference
to the Senatorial caucus from Hon. John
Lynch, in which he says:-"Precisely the same
thing occurred in the nomination of Postmas-
ter of the House at the present Congress as
happened al your caucus, and the blank was
rejected without question. Counting the

THE INFLUENCE OF SLEEP-In the Rev. DR..
BUSHNELL volume on the ''Moral Influence Of Dark
Things" we find this truthful and suggestive pas
sage:
After some years, prejudices begin to be tired Of
being slept over. Jeaousies rankle as long as
they stay, but they get tired Of staying when we
do not stay with them, but go to sleep over them.
We cannot hate an enemy, save intermittently, but
have to begin every morning which we have less
and less appetite for, and finally come to like that
morning best that does not begin it at all We're
it not for this arrangement, our maignities might
burn us up. But the taking away of our con-
science is kind of compulsory Sabbath or truce
of God. No hatred burns in the unconscious
man; no revenge or jealousy lowers on his face in
that soft hour of oblivion. If he went to bed
heated by an ugly conversation, if he was severe
and bitter in his judgment, if all charities are
scorchedaway by his fierce denunciations, he will
rise in the morning cool and sweet as the morning,
and the gentle cheer of his voice will show that ne
is clear of this bad mood and likes to have 1t
known. A man must be next to devil who wakes
angry. After bis unconscious Sabbath he begins
another day, and every day is Monday. How
beautifully thus are we drawn by this kind econo-
my of sleep to the exercise of all good dispositions
The acrid and soured ingredients of evil, the
grudges, the wounds of feeling, the hypochondriao
suspicious, the black, torments Of lnisanthropy,
the morose fault-fndings, are 80 far tempered and

recently published in England, the annexed ex-
tract on the buoyancy of the waters and the appear

Though in breadth not exceeding ten miles, the

as they break upon the int-strewn shores, togeth.

there was no exaggeration in what l had heard.

the chief difficulty was to keep sufficiently sub
