The democrats of Maine are very conf.
dent that they will elect majority of the
members of the next legislature, and that
there will be no election of governor by
the people, in which event the Legislature
must elect.
The republican party in that State is
divided, aud has rot only opposing candi-
dates for governor, but for all the State
and County officers. The division was
caused by the temperance question, and the
prohibitionists are more bitter toward the
regular republican organization than
toward the democrats.
Franklin Smith, the democratic candi-
date for governor, is an honest and able
man, and one of the most popular men in
the State. Both wings Of the republican
party in Maine frankly admit that he
would make good governor, aud this,
together with 'loyar' discussions, greatly
encourages the democracy.
There is good reason not only to hope,
but believe, that in November, Maine,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Mississippi,
Tennessee, and Texas will all have enroll
ed themselves under the democratic ban.

"Give negro watermelon and an
umbrella and he is a happy man," is an
old Southern adage. II was curiously
illustrated the other day. Old Uncle Tony
who is very religious, was seated in his
door gazing at the starry skies, when Mas
John came along and remarked, "Well,
Uncle Tony, the end of the world hasn' t
come YETI "No, Mas John an was
just thinking how good de Lord is to us
poor niggers, to put it off till arter water

A promising young shaver of five or six
years, was reading his lesson at school one
day, in that deliberate manner for which
urchins of that age are somewhat remark
able. As he proceeded with the task he
came upon the passage "Keep thy tongue
from evil and thy lips from guile.'
"Keep-thy-tongue-from-evil-and-
thy-lips from girls"

what their future lives were to be, would
MT it increase the list of old maids still
further,?"

HuxBoLDr's PoPULARITr.-The follow
ing incident is related by an eye witness
It was toward evening Of the 18th Of
March, l84S. The streets of Berlin were
in an uproar, and excited groups rushed
from house to house searching for and de-
manding arms. One of these uproarious
mobs came in front of the house No. 81
Oranienburger strasze, crying for arms; a
gigantic laborer seemed to be most prom
inent in the party, and forced open the
closed doors. Arriving in the first story,
the excited throng was met by white
headed old man, who asked what they
wanted. "Give us arms?'' was the an
swer. "Arms, 1? my good people where
shall get themY' "Who are you 2" de.

disturbed you.' Then turning around
he commanded, "Four men remain and
guard the house of our great fellow citizen,

THE REASON WHY.


Some of the reasons why DR.. Robaek g Blood
Pills should be kept in every family are.
Because! they can be employed in all cases
where a ''family physic" is required. and arc
perfectly safe in their administration at all
times.
Because! they act promptly in removing
all distractions from the bowels, affording
immediate relief in cholic or other pains.
Because they are Liver Pill, acting dis
rectly on the spleen and liver, removing the
bile and assisting digestion.
Because! in taking them they do mot inter-
fere with the regular avocation of the patient,
or leave the bowels constipa ted.
Because! they are made both with and
without sugar coating, thus adapting them %
the use Of every body.
Because! they being purely vegetable are
perfectly harmless, and can be taken by chi l.
dren or adults at all stages or periods of life.
because! they are especially adapted to
the use of persons of sedentary habits, and
to the use Of females about TO become
mothers
Because! they are what their name indi>
Gates, Blood Pill, searching out diseases of
the blood, leaving the system in the full vigor
of health.
Because! they arc perfectly gentle in their
operation, causing no gripping, and are a safer,
sarcr, and every way better purgative pill
than has ever before been offered to tho pub
lie.
Because! when followed in their use by
Koback $ Stomach Bitters, they cure the very
worst cases Of dyspepsia.
because! they can be purchased at any
drug store at the extremely low price of
twenty-five cents per box. [y3n2Ow4

A stroll around town, few DAYS
ago, informed us OF many improve
ments going forward. New sidewalks
are being laid, new roofs are being put
on, and additions made to, buildings,
new fences made, and otherwise the

A 4oSuMrsr To THE soLpIrR-prAp.-.This
subject, We are glad to observe, has been un :
der discussion for several weeks. All concede
such memorial to be fitting and urgently
called for. How shall il be done? Shall the
expense be borne by private contribution, or
shall the County provide the means? Most
concedc that the Board of Supervisors ought
to carry forward the work and pay all the
expenses thereof Such monument rs is
lifting and eminently proper should cost FIVE
thousand dollars. Cedar County, We believe.
raised one costing that amount, and lama
County should do no less. We believe that
the matter should not be left to private mn.
nificent aid, but that the County, as body
corporate, should do it. This is q subject in
which, surely. all the inhabitants of Tama
County are interested, at least in which all
shoutdb be interested, and we believe that nil
who feel grateful to the soldiery Of the land
for the work they achieved will not hesitate
70 aid In erecting some however Inadequate,
memorial Of that gratitude. There can be no
objection, We conceive, to the County donr
this work. During the dark days of the re.
bellion, when more men were needed to com.
plctc the overthrow Of that vas. conspiracy.
and volunteers did not prefer themselves in
adequate numbers, we believe the County, as
body corporate and body polite, did not
hesitate to employ the public money in the
payment Of bounties in order to save the
County TOM the operations Of the impending
draft. We hope the County will now be as
prompt and generous in the utterancc of
some expression Of its gratitude for the ser.
vices these soldiers, some of whom never re.
turned alive, rendered tho whole County. We
beg the Board of Supervisors 10 let no false
seeming notions of public economy arrest
their votes for the beneiccnt and truly patri.
otto deed.
We trust that We express on this subject,
the general sentiment. Atany rate. we shall
be glad to hear from others. All have ms good
q right to speak out in meeting as We have
