gained by his own efforts in a long and honor

GEN. BuTIERs plan for securing peace in
Georgia is characteristic one. He says that
when murder is committed for political reas-
ons' ne would destroy every green thing within
q circuit OF ten miles about the locality, unless
the people OF the place delivered UP the mur-
derer and furnished evidence to convict him.
1t would be an admirable arrangement if Mr..
Butler could be excused from his Congress;on-
al duties, which perhaps might as well be nsr-
formed by somebody else, and placed in com
mand in Georgia.

THE Argus enjoys a green old age. It's
credulity is SO astonishing that it lis wonder
somebody doesn't make it believe that the re-
ported death of Thomas Jefferson, its first can
didate for the Presidency, is "blasted. Black
Republican lie." The poor old thing actually
swallows the story of Summers quarrel with
Grant on point of etiquette. 1t says that it
all arises from the fact that Simmer has made
the President no PRESENT. The fact is that the
whole thing is in some one of the Argus hun
dred blind optics. Doesn't mythology tell us
that Juno gave the eyes of her disrepqtable
spy to the peacock and placed them in the tail
of that Yainplnrinus bird

SWISS BELL RNGERs.-We would urge upon
our readers not to fail to attend the concert at
Deering Hall tonight Apart from the de-
lightful music of the bells the performance of
Miss Georgia Spaulding on the harp, the comi-
calities Of Mr.. Eades-the great London sem
sation-the vocalism of Miss Bailey, the violin
playing of Mr. Beadle, and the manifold ac-
complishments of Mr.. Spaulding, are alone
worth the price of admission.

A NEW CLAIM.-Sir Francis Head formerly
Gov General of Canada has sent a letter to
the London Times on the Alabama claims
question, in which he cites the action of our
government in the Canada rebellion of 1887 as
precedent for England's course to-day. Mr..
Galt it will be remembered undertakes to file
the claim for damages by the Fenian invasion
in Offset to the Alabama claims. II there is
anything in international law in the nature
of statute of limitations Sir Francis bill is
barred thereby. II not, the easiest way for
England to escape from her dilemma is to
compute the value of the provinces lost to her
by the action of our fathers in 1776 and make

SUDDEN DEATH.-Saturday forenoon Pat
rick Connely, hostler in the employ of Mr..
VIM. Baldwin, went into the cellar to split
some wood. About half an hour afterwards
Mr.. Baldwin returned home and called to Con-
nelly to take care of his horse. Not receiving
any answer he went into the cellar and found
Connolly on his knees, with his face in his
hands. prostrate on the ground, dead. The de.
ceased had complained, for several days, of a
pain in his side. He was unmarried and leaves
two sisters, one residing in Biddeford, the
other in Hollis. He represented his age to be
43 years. Coroner Hall was called, but deemed

Dz0oRArroS QAx.s~rt Is to be hoped that
Dur citizens will contribute literally in flowers
and money towards the decorating of the
graves of those who laid their all upon the al
tar of patriotism. When the nations life was
in danger 1t seemed as if there was not enough
that the people could do to encourage the
strength and manhood of the country to take
up arms in its defence. Women, both the gem
tly nurtured and those accustomed to labor,
side by side worked their fingers to the bone
to equip the brave volunteers; and those busi-
ness men who could not go-either from age,
disability or the calls OF business-gave freely
and frequently of their wealth to furnish sup
plies of all kinds. Many of those brave war
riors now sleep peacefully in the thousands of
cemeteries scattered all over the country.
But the soork that they have accomplished
survives them and to-day instead of divid-
ed country we see the stars and stripes waving
over every foot of land from the Canadian from
tiers to the Cult of Mexico, from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. If then we could do so much
for those when living, who have done so much
more for us, is it not proper that on one day in
the year, if not oftener, we should drop at
least sprig Of rosemary or cluster of pam
sizes upon their graves to prove that their gall
liant services are not forgotten We are aware
that the season is not far enough advanced in
Maine for a great variety and profusion OF
flowers, but let each contribute whatshe or he
can and let them remember also that their as
sistance in making up wreaths and bouquets
at Grand Army Hall from Wednesday to
Saturday will be thankfully received.

Please allow me through your columns to
give an item of information to those who may
be interested. On the last trip but one of the
steamer Carlotta to this city she brought
lad, about thirteen years of age, who told the
eaptain that he came from Bangor; to others
he said he had nearly always lived in Port
land, latterly with Mrs Delano, at S8 Frank
lin street, had attended Baptist Sabbath
School, superintended by Rev. j. H. Hall; his
teacher, he said, was Mrs. Rose; he gives his
name as Frederick Chamberlain. He appeared
to be in search of two aunts, whom he said re-
sided here Kind friends looked after him,
got him into employ, &c., but he has developed
pilfering habits and will be placed in the In
dustrial School Being resident of Portland,
was called on to examine him, and found his
replies to my questions very unsatisfactory. If
he has friends who care for him, any inquiries
addressed to Joseph Bell, Esq, of this city, or
to myself will be promptly answered.
