The tragedy on the Western PrOmenaae last
week has attracted much attention, ana eoi-
tors in all parts of the country are discussing
IL IL has eiven Portland an unenviable repu-
tation. rhe following Is from tho Albany
Evening journal, and If it can fairly be al
legged that the Journals humor converts the
whole affair into a farce, it must be confessed
that Mrs. Bakers probable recovery permits
the undeniabe comcality of some OF the Incl
dents to be so regarded by the public:
''Down East in Maine, the wife OF Irving
herself by putting three bullets into the body
~ Mary A. Baker, O milliner, who it is sup
posed will die Of her wounds. Mrs. Parker
was prompted to this bloody and unwoman-
like deed by q suspicion that the pretty milli-
ner, her unfortunate victim, sustained improp-
erly intimate relations with her husband.
This case presents in o new aspect q moral
and social problem which vexes the minds of
jurists and reformers. 1t is common to hear
that some mad iened husband, learning OF the
ruin and dishonor of his wife, has taken the
law into his own hands, and visited capital
punishment upon her paramour. Modern
iuries have a habit of shutting their eyes to
the guilt of these deeds, and declaring upon
their solemn oaths that such killing IS no
murder. If a husband has this overwhelming
interest in the chastity of his wife, why may
not wife feel that she holds q similar s.ase
In the honor and integrity Of ne5 i;s.ui
And If a husband is justinaDic II uenpsrapeiy
taking the life of one who seduces ms VIE
from Daths NJ rectitude, why not give the wife
s,ro;,ar i;cense to slay the Delilah who be-
cniles her husband from her side, and makes
5er life wretched by the consciousness of being
deserted and unloved by him who is bound TO
her in the most sacred OF human relations? If
the pretty miIliDer has brother, would not

ordinary practice in the Courts warrant him in

THE HIGHLAND CADETS The first public
drill of this celebrated school, situated in Wor-
cester, Mass, took place in 1859, on Worcester
Common, the company being reviewed by
Mayor tnow EX-GOVERNOR Bullock. Ever since
they have taken an annual excursion, have
visited Boston, Providence, Lowell, Spring
field, New York, Salem, Newport and other
cities, where they have been reviewed and
criticised by prominent military officers. The
Boston journal in 1865 said:
The exhibition and drill of this famous
youthful military company, at the Boston
Theatre, Wednesday afternoon and evening,
was a very interesting and bVou affair, and
proved worthy of all the attention that could
be bestowed upon it by our citizens. With the
exception of that by the Ellsworth Zouaves, we
have been favored with no exhibition so truly
military, and withal SO attractive, in many
years. Beyond this, we may safely assert, as it
must have been evident to all spectators, that
there was no straining for effect, but rather an
intention and disposition to display only mill
itary in their strict sense, leaving out
show altogether. Look where you would or
where we might, even at the closing exhibi-
ton of their skill after long labor, which was
1 arduous in the extreme, especially on such a
picturesque beauty in tue bayonet exercises
that riveted attention and excited warm enthu-
siasm.
We are confident there will be great interest
and excitement shown in this city to witnes:
the evolutions of this company of young men
from nineteen to fourteen years of age, and We
feel confident that the City Government, and
both our milit Try companies--who will act al
escort-will give the School no cause to regret
having visited Portland.

IF THERE be no doubt in the minds of CAPT.
talists that the bonds will be paid in gold, can
the Press or anybody else tell us why the bonds
are not largely above par in gold?--E0ster"
argus.
The Press can, and everybody else can ana
has. Even the Argus betrays itself INTO an
swering its own question, attributing the de-
probation to the "recklesS ertravagdnce" and
ssreeki,,q corruption" of Radical rule" Other
solutions of the question have been scarcely
more wise and satisfactory.
What made our bonds depreciate? Why
are they still below par in gold? They were
payable in gold five years, ten years, twenty
years, forty years after date. The same cause
that made our treasury notes that were pay
able in gold on demand, depreciate and keeps
them deprecated. There was great supply
of them thrust on the market; there was but
limited amount of cash to lend. The gov
eminent wanted more money and wanted it
oftener than people had it to lend The Argus
and it's friends did and said what they could
to possess capitalists with the idea that they
would never be paid The result was, money
was only offered at high rates afE
These rates have been gradually falling
The reason why the assurance that the bonds
are to be paid in gold, and even the beginning
of an actual payment Of them does not bring
them to the par Of gold, is that there is still a
feeling that the government is paying them
prematurely to avoid paying them in full, and
because the transaction affects the national
credit just as it would affect merchants
credit, who closed his doors against his grocery
bills and his notes for borrowed money, but
sent out runners TO buy up his mortgages at
Is per cent discount. se..s stss Is ~,
1t surprises the. Argus that we doubted u
strengthening the credit of the government
would enhance the market value of bonds =
This market value has always been quoted in
currency. Such strengthening of the govern
ment credit as would make greenbacks equiv
alent to coin, we think will lower the market
value of bonds What will induce any man to
give more than one or two per cent. premium
for 500 bond payable any time at the option
of the government, when currency is easily
exchapgeable for gold? WIN the Argus tell
