The Washington Star, in the course of an
article upon Maine politics, says: "From what
we can gather of recent date, the Republicans
will do better in Maine at the September cleo
ton than seemed likely some weeks ago. In
the 1st Congressional district (Lynchs) J, where
the Democrats have been iubilart over the
disaffection of few Republicans in York
county, matters have now settled down to
some definite form, and there can be little
doubt but that Mr.. Lynch will be elected by
handsome majority. In all the other districts
the Republican majorities will be large For

DIXIE AT THE CAPITAL-RADICAL DEs
PERATloN. The correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette, writing from Wash
lngeon under date of December l, has
the following:
1t is hard to imagine the extreme to
which the Radical leaders will go in their
desperation. They excite negroes to
murder nnoffending white citizens; they
control the judiciary by placing it under
military surveillance; to protect the dupes
organizations, the military power is in
voked to control elections, and here, in
Washington, they would exercise q CEN
sorship over places of amusement, and
allow only such pieces or. such tunes TO
be played as meet the appreciation of
the powers that be. The organ, this
morning, no doubt by authority, pub
llshes the following pronunciamento,
which give to show the audacity of
Radical recklessness. 1t reads thus:
"One Of the troupe, who performs
upon what is called 'tumbleronicon, )"
and from which he gives really sweet
music, has for the last three nights pam
pered to the tastes of the rebel spirit
existing in Washington, and played
Dixie This mir, which became tho
national hymn of the G. S. A., is re-
ceived with uproarious applause in the
capital Of the nation. Where more than
two-t thirds of the people receive their
support from the Government, Dixie
is an insult. If, during the war, any
performer had dared to sing or play
Dixie in a theatre of this city, he
would have been hurled from the stage
by tho loyal soldiers present We pub
licly request that this rebel air be hero
after omitted from the programme at our
theatres
OF course the managers will obey the
order thus issued, for should they refuse,
the Government, with the military, might
compel obedience. The nllusion to the
time when no one "darcd to sing or plav
Dixie" is very happy, and it is also sug-
gestive. A time may como when no pa
per or party. will dare insult the people
OF this Republic with such menaces

V$HYR of OarIvIe aa n writer.

EyssEeof Carlyle as Q writer:
is s:AIl who speag the English tonane
ARE ready to deyopr any Eesh sexhibiSion
Fpf his phantasmegorio Intellect. A fsith-
fnl painting Of D catamount and aIwelf
done by ever SO skillful an artist, is q
dull picture compared with their images
on transparent slide. projected upon 3
wall by powerful magic-lantern. We
look at the huge images not for instruc-
tlon, but entertainment. It is the mag
nitude, the coloring. the strangeness i'm
parted to them by tho optical apparatus,
that make them noticeable. A land sur
veyor, whose object is truth, would not
choose to look at hills and dales through
prism or q colored glass; but seekers of
amusement love to turn their eyes from
the landscape as it lies in simple day
light to the brilliant distortions and CO.
loring thrown upon it by curious optical
appliances. It is not in Carlyle's nature
to shed upon any object what Lord Ba-
con called the dry light of the intel
lect. Whatever interests him sets his
mind into tumultuous whirl. The
lashing of tho waters stirs up SO much
sediment that the waves lose all trans
parency in their tossing, tumbling mag
nificence. None of us read Carlyle for
what we learn from him. The pleasure
>he gives US is like that of being at sea
Aen mighty waves henve benentl. the
prb. They exhilarate us with sense of
Ssheir power, while they drift hither and
sthither without any progress towards the
END of our voyage.
''Mr. Carlyie's admirers will rejoice to
find how little, in lis old age, his won
derful powers of convulsivc rhetoric are
abated. He is one of the most astonish-
ing masters Of tho English language that
ever wrote it, No elephant, hugcst of
creatures, ever succeeded in performing
so many of the gambols Of a monkey.
No writer ever combined such massive
exhibitions of eleplantine strength with
SO much monkey-like agility and gri-
mace. So much power was never before
united with so much caprice. It is as if
the ribald soul of Thersitcs had found
expression through the poetic rage Of
Pindar. He has something of the jerky,
Jagged abruptness of mngnified George
Francis Train, united with the decama-
tory splendor of Chatham, and the know
ledge of Burke, with humor as grim as
Swift's and grotesQue rs that of Rabe-
lais. A most surprising intellectual phe-
nomenon; a dumb founding comet, whose
glare astonishes the nations, because it
is 80 different from the steady lustrc OF
the stars. It moves in no regular orbit,
and conforms to none of the settled har-
monies Of the solar system. Not q pole
star to guide the navigator, but never
theless o magnificent accession to the
scenery of the armament.

SAD DEATH FROM KEROSENE. Sunday
afternoon, little Mary, daughter of Mrs.
Hanley, who resides on tile corner of
Joachim and Fahm streets, met q sad
fate under circumstances most painful
1t appears that about o'clock she ex-
perienced some difficulty in making the
fire in tho kitchen burn to her satisfac-
ton, and being somewhat discouraged,
concluded to pour kerosene on the wood.
No sooner had the fluid reached the fire,
(being poured from half-gallon can
which had been filled only the day be-
fore,) when an explosion took place.
She was lenning over the fire at the time,
and the burning fluid reached her face
and breast-tearing her eyes from their
sockets and burning her body in most
awful manner. Medical. attendance was
summoned, but the physician pronounced
the case beyond his control The little
girl bore her pains with remarkable for
titude, until half-past 4 p. M, when
death put an end to her sufferings.
