REMARKABLE ERUDITIoN.-We have been
particularly impressed with The keen penetra.
ton as well as enclycopedic in formation very
frequently displayed by the ADVERTISER. Al
most dalv we see paragraphs of this kind
which we cannot sufficiently admire:
The Kennebec Journal says that there were
16 deaths there N the months of October,
averaging more than one Tor every day." We
should like to know how many days there
are in October as they reckon in Augusta.
Now TO say that this is witty or humorous
does not do it justice. It's erudite, and none
but a "mighty knowiL'" journalist could
write it. The common reader glancing at the
Kennebec Journals paragraph might be de-
celved-might conclude that there are less
han is da in October. But the editor of
the Ad1ertiser-he kne,o better; he said at
once that there was mistake, and. looking
at the almanac, confirmed bis first impression,
that there are 81 days in October. And so he
saved the world fiom falling into grave error
by settling tn. matter right.

Stokes bave been renominated, and 30, We
grieve to say, has Roderick R. Butler, who
has bet charged with even more serious Of
lenses than those which caused the expulsion
OF Whttemore from the House. However, a
negro named Alfred Kinney is running as
Republican candidate against him, and it is to
be hoped that he. or even the Democratic can
di1ate will be elected In preference to the reg
rlar Republican nominee.
1t is said that in Virginia the Republicans
are working more tremendously than former

first DR.. l.. M. Norton, colored, is running

A Nrw SUMNER HOTEL IN Yonx cor.r,

A NEW SUMNER HorEt IN YoRx Courrx.-
We were shown, a few days ago, tho plans Of
q new hotel which Hon. N G. Marshall |. now
engaged in building in the town of "O,d
York, at Short Sands Beach, on Stage Neck,
near the barber. The style of architecture is
simple, with the fronts broken Just enough by
miror projections to relieve them from fat
s.. The new building is to be L-shaped. the
fronts to be 100 feet long, and the inner sides
OF the l. measuring 65 feet each. The struc-
ture will be three stories high, covered with
Mansard roof, which will give four floors, with
10 2. 9, 9, and 9 feet respectively in the clear
between them. verandah eight feet wide
runs entirely around the building. The pripci-
pal entrance opens into fine long ball, Ii eet
wide, within which is the principal staircase in
the rear, descending directly at the door the
dining room. On the left of the ball is the Of
fee, Is by 20 feet in size, interior windows in
which command a view of the hall. Tho
ladies' parlor in the corner Of the building, still
further to the left of the Office is 20 by IS feet
and connects with the dining room by large
sliding DOORS The last Damed apartment
measures 50 by 40 feet, and its windows COM
dining room, in this wing,are the kitchen, store
rooms, SC. On the right Of the main hall are
a large reading room and two suites of elegant
private apartments, commanding view of the
bay on the other side of the point. On the Sec
ond story are twenty-eight guest rooms, OPEN
ing out of corridors five and half feet wide.
Over the kitchen are the servants apartments.
The third and fourth stories are similar 10 ar
rangement to the second. There are, in the
house, over ninety guest rooms, most of which
are by Is feet in size; some fifteen or twenty
however, measure Is ty 20 feet and there IS
considerable number arranged to be thrown in
to suites.
The location is s,id to be one of the finest
sea-coast sites IN Maine. The house stand on
an elevation on the point, with the open sea on
one hand and beautiful bay on the other, and
from all parts of the house TIE mos. charming
scenery is presented, Cape Ann, Boon Island,
Isle OF Shoals, Cape Porpoise being all within
view. In general outline it reminds one of
Newport. It i5 only mile from Old York
and seven from Kittery, on the old stage road
from Portsmouth TO Portland. The place is rich
in h'siotic ipterest,the old fort at York harbor
being close by, tue remains of which a'e still 10
be seen. The work is being pushed onward
with rapidity, and it is intended to have the
house ready for company in June of next year.
The landlords are to be Mr.. Marshalls sons,
E. S. and s. b. Very satisfactory arrange
ments for transportation from Kutery will be
de in time, and as soon as the house be-
comes known it will, we predict, b. one Of the
most popular summer houses on the New Eng
la"d coast. Those familiar with the place
know it to be most delightful spot. Mr.. Geo.
M Harding of this city is the architect in
charge of the new building.

A LITTLE while ago Garibaldi was received
by rhe populace of Tours with an enthusiasm
that created some jealousy on the part OF Gam
BETA; and tie friends of freedom who remem-
Der his career in the cause of Italian libeBty
placed great expectations on a corresponding
success in the important field to which he was
assigned. But Garibaldi soon found out his
mistake He quickly learned that the cause
which be had come to support was misdirected
BY Incompetent and Jealous leaders. Bis re-
ception at the Vosges was cold and unenthusi-
a'tic. ard all his attempts in the field have
been failures. For want OF sufi cient strength
he has been unable to hold the Southern Vos-
ges, and Dion is occupied in force by the
Prussians, who intend. from present indica-
tions, to augment their strength with large
part of the troops relieved from the invest
ment of Metz. The capture of the city is an
important strategic movement on the part of
the invaders. 1t interposes a German army
between Tours and Lyons, threatens Bourges,
and will compel the evacuation of the unforti-
fed towns along the railway line north and in
the passes of the Vosges mountains. It is a
long step towards Lyons, and indicates Wig
orous winter campaign.
The captured city is at the head of the broad
est and most beautiful valley of Eastern
Frauce-that of the Saone and Rhoue, in
which are situated Lyons, Valence and Mar
settles. 1t is distant but 100 miles from Ly-
ons and $50 from the Mediterranean Sea. The
concentration Of German troops at Dion will
form a column that the French can hardly
hope to resist in the open field. Our accounts
from Garibaldi's army represent it to be small
in numbers and poorly supplied with arms and
ammunition. The fortified cities on the Saone
and Rhone may, however, resist the advance
of the Germans for several weeks; but this de-
tense will not save the departments from the
so'ation and ruin consequent upon for
ward movement from Dion.

When the Radials tell you
they have reduced taxation,
make them explain how it is
that the taxes paid in 1870
will exceed those of 1869 over
thirty millions of dollars?-
Ask them how it happens that
the internal taxes collected in
1869 amounted to $l59, 1884,
1876, while those of 1870 will
exceed one hundred and eighty
four millions Of dollars? Ask
them how it is that the people
from 1861 to 1865, during the
entire period of the war, paid
only seven hundred and ninety
two millions Of dollars in taxes,
while in the five years since
the war closed they have been
called upon to pay two thous-
three hundred and forty
three millions? These are facts
shown by the reports Of rad.
ical officials, while the party
leaders are harping over the re-
duction of taxes.
