This will show how at least one Of the
Chamberlain organs has swung around the
circle on the question. One side of the col
umn is cold water, the other rcctifed wills
ky. Is there any wonder that the temper
ancc men were suspicious Of such tainted
vessels?
But this hypocrisy is moderate and blame
less compared with that which protested to
stand by and support the Bangor resolutions,
which declare for prohibition, and at the
same time deliberately and bitterly assal that
very principle. This is just what the Prog.
Age does, and just what nearly all the
Chamberlain papers of the State are doing.
At the same time, they assal and abuse Mr.
Hichborn and his supporters because, being

A lIORRID AFFAIR was the hanging OF
Chas Orme, the murderer at Stroudsburg,
Pennsylvania, on Wednesday. The murder
was committed on the 10Th Of Sept last. and
Ormc, with his confederate, was arrested the
same day. The trial began on the 2sth of
December and they were sentenced to be
hanged on the Goth Of january. The case was
carried up to the Supreme Court however

but was detected and foiled. He also saved
up a quantity of morphine from the prescrip-

contemplated suicide, but gave it up vol
UNFAIRLY TO gentleman who visited him last

The ceremonies were of the usual character,
and Orme made long and rambling speech,
SAYING that he had been unfairly tried and
convicted on false evidence. He also COM

when the sheriff stepped forward and had a
dispute with the prisoner Oh the subject,
which WIS stopped by the bystanders. There
being some hope that a reprieve might arrive
Nv the next mail Il demand was made that
the execution be postponed until that time,
and another wrangle took place, which was
finally ended by the proposition being ac-
cedcd to. The prisoner descended from the
scat1old, and the spectators adjourned for dim

places. The arrangements were very clunl-

Of the moose struck the mans throat directly
under the chin, and his struggle with death
was consequently prolonged one. To add
additional horror to the scene the muslin that
bound his arms behind him had not been tied
tight enough, and several times, while the
body was dangling in the air, the right hand
was raised to the neck and clung convulsive-
v to the shirt bosom, near the throat. The
left hand also. as the body swung against the
drop, @rasped hold OF one side of the plat

From the Prog. Age, July from the Prog. Age, Aug


Liquor drinking is a habit
and one of the worst habits.
There is not one person in
ten who is not better OFF in
every sense by letting liquor
alone. How many of our
laboring people have money
in their pockets and every
thing comfortable around
them at home, who, if liquor
was allowed to be sol Id free
ly, would have no money in
their pockets and whose
homes would be the abodes
of wretchedness. 1t is a
mercy to many poor hard
working men, who have the
misfortune to have appetites
for liquor, that it is placed
beyond their reach. With
liquor at its present high
prices, no man in moderate
circumstances can afford tC
buy it; still if it is within
reach, many will have it, and
thus keep themselves poor
and miserable.

against the Senator is that of having voted

The BEAUTIFUL SNOW A Rockland cor
respondent, whose appreciation of good
poetry led to reading of the poem we pub
lshed last week, with the accompanying re-
marks writes to us as follows
some len or twelve years ago Lewis GAYLORD
Clark, who is supposed to know something about
literature, asked who wrote beautiful snow?
The story copied from the Omaha Republican is
al very Wen ana very pretty. but the poem was
war;
The Snow" has lost some of its beauty and
purity in its travels; Perhaps the lewd woman in
whose carpet-bag Mr.. Reed found it has soiled it
somewhat. The original reads
For of all that is on or about me [ know
There's nothing that's pure but the beautiful snow''
There are other alterations and omissions which
not improvements butdo not 50 much in,lrc the
sense and beauty of the lines.
The poem was enclosed to US with a re-
quest for publication by lady Of literary
taste We were glad to comply, as the pro-
duction is one Of remarkable beauty. We
have no doubt that it had a different origin
from the one ascribed to it in the preface we
published last week, although its real author
may never be known. 1t is strange how
easily such matters may become questionable
by lapse of time and the persistent assertion
OF claimants. The authorship of that touch
ing poem crock me to sleep, Mother,n is
still disputed by Mrs Akers and a gentleman
IN New Jersey who is not so well known to
fame, but whose abundance of grcenbacks
enabled him to hire whole page Of the New
York Tribune and fill it with small type in
the endeavor to prove his title to that which

highly gifted one, could have written

THE BOILERS JUSTIFIED.

The temperance men of the republican par
ty, who distrust Chamberlain and believe that
the mass Of those who were active in his re-
nomination are not true friends of the cause
Of temperance are afforded daily evidence of
the correctness of their theory. The cloven
foot is more and more plainly to be seen.

trcmest radicalism on the subject of rJm-scl-

That p'rtial intoxication
causes crimes, in some iG-
stances, to be committed
which otherwise would not
have been committed is,
doubtless, true. But the
charge that nine tenths or
even a majority of the crimes
committed are the direct or
even the proximate effect of
intemperancc, cannot be sus-
tanned by facts. Nor is the
assertion that nine-tenths of
the pauperism which exists
is caused by intcmperance,
any nearer the truth. Is it
not rather true, that power
ty, in a large majority of
cases, is directly traceable to
misfortune, ,aziness, shift
lessness? That intempcr-
ance is frequently found in

tue; but 80 arc idleness and

From the Age, Aug. 10, 1869.
The temperate or restrict
ed use OF alcoholic stimu-
lants is not harmful. Their
beneficial use as a medicine
to recuperate and repair the
physical system, is almost
universally admitted. Nor
is the moderate or temper
ate use, as a beverage, i'm
moral any more than tea or
coffee.
But it is to be borne in
mind that these results
spring from the Incorporate
use OF intoxicating liquor.
1t is evident that if nobody
drank such liquors to excess,
few if any of these results
would happen.
Nor can it be shown that
the use, or cvenIntcmperate
|of use, alcohol is the cause Of
nine tenths of the crimes or
even the majority of crimes
which are committed. The
cause of crime is the cor
ruption Of the human heart.
