Its career, during a period of 80 wears,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part OF
the world, are, when carefully selected.
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged

valuable it is-to try to place the pre-
sent position plainly before your hume
rOUs readers.
There can, | fancy, hardly be a doubt
but that the present Continental crisis
must lead to a complete change in the
so-caIled balance Of power on the CONT
nent; and, small nation though we be, we
are by our geographical position and the
proportionateIy greater power acquired
by any nation who might annex US,
still of some weight when the great scale
Of nations is to be balanced.
For US to remain as we are at present,
having lost after the late war with Ger
many nearly onehsIf of the kingdom, with
hundreds Of thousands of Danish-speak-
ing and Danish-feeling men and women
governed by Prussia, is in my opinion i'm
possible. There will ever be agitation
and dissatisfaction, and at every cOmmO-
ton on the continent we shall be in the
painful p~oSiDioa If being neither at peace
nor at war, mourning r%uinous expenses,
and worst of all with agitation and pOpu-
lar demonstrations at home. There are
as far as | can see, but the following
courses open for Us Firstly. 10 JOIN
Sweden and Norway as q Scandinavian
kingdom. But, without taking into con-
sideration that a great part Of the popu-
lation is greatly opposed to such a union
would Russia or even Prussia consent TO
this, even if Prussia was quoted by an
nexing Jutland which would in my idea
be a great mistake, both morally and po-
l"iticaIly2 It would never suit any of the
great powers that the keys to the Baltic
should be held by any one nation, 80 as
to make this important sea an inland lake.
Secondly. We might enter the North
German Confederation, and become the
admiral state, as it was proposed years
ago; but, besides the objection by other
powers, no government that would pro-
pose this to us could last an hour. 1t
would be more than human for us to be
expected to forget and forgive so soon all
that we have suffered.
But there remains, as far as | can see,
q third and natural solution to this ques-
ton Why not make us a neutral state
like Belgium Let Prussia give US back
our natural frontier by Dame werke,
which, a thousand wears ago, was mark
ed as "Finis Imperii ROmani." Let a
mixed garrison Of Danish and Prussian
troops occupy Alsen and Duppel, the
great military positions: it would not,
perhaps, be pleasant to US but our role
is played out as a power in Europe and
we must swollow the pill however bitter.
Let Germany now treat US kindly, let
them hold out generously the right hand
of fellowship, and, instead of being enc
mics, they would soon find us their truest

WHAT is VITALITY ?-Some philosophers
,all it Animal Magnetism, some Nervous
Force, others, Caloric, but by whatever name
may be called, the thing meant is the main
'pring of existence, it is The principle we in
lerit, and which may be nourished by proper
attention to the requirements of the body and
he avoidance of excuses; it is wasted or
destroyed by over-taxing the mind with study
n anxiety and incorporate indulgences, in
Iced. it requires an expenditure of vitality
or every thought or action equal to the mag
iitude of the thought or action. When the
,ody and the brain are well balanced the
,tomach is capable of restoring the waste;
tut when the brain is large in proportion the
'tomach is incapable of supplying it; in other
words, the expenditure is too large for the
income. Here lies the cause of SO much sut-
ering from diseases of the Heart, Liver,
stomach and Lungs, and FELLOWS COMPOUND
SYRUP OF HYFoPHosPHiTEs is the only pre-
.,aration known which imparts this vitality
iirectly, and consequently the power to over
come disease. novS-t&wlw

RAILROAD DISASTER.
Narrow Escape
Several Persons Injured but
Nobody Killed.

As the train which left this city at 4, P. NJ.
yesterday, for Bangor, was passing round a
curve this side of Riggs Brook, about two
miles eastward of Augusta, it ran upon an OK
standing upon the track, throwing the cars
from the track, capsizing aud smashing them
and injuring quite number Of passengers,
though fortunately none were killed and
few injured severely. The train consisted OF
three passenger, one smoking, and two bag
gage cars, and one locomotive. The locomo-
tive and baggage cars were not thrown from
the track but the smoking car went off, and
though the Stacking broke between it and the
passenger cars, the latter were capsized, and
piled up in strange shape. The passenger
cars were full, and how the passengers escap-
ed as well as they did is surprising. Those
who were able sprang out through the win
dows and other passages that would permit
escape, to wonder at the sudden misfortune
which had overtaken them, and that their fate
was no worse. The wounded were taken out
of the ruins and attended to as well as they
could be under the circumstances. A messen-
ger was Immediately despatched to this city
with the news of the disaster, and relief
train at once started with. physicians and all
needed help. The injured persons are as fol-
lows:
George Shepard, Somerset Mills, wounded
in head and leg-slight.
Jonathan Snow, Vassalboro, scalp head,
leg and arm-severe.
Mrs. Tinkam, Augusta, eye and forehead
severe.
G. V. Brann, Madison, arm and head-se-
we're.
The injured were brought to the city and
attended with the best of care, and will re-
cover from their wounds in short time.
The train, after the accident, presented a
sorry sight. The OK was shattered into frag.
ments. His carcass rolled along under the
locomotive and baggage cars and did not get
to the rear Of the smoking car. The smoking
car capsized and was dragged about 800 feet
on its side, ripping up the track, and tearing
down telegraph poles and fences in its pro-
gress and making a wreck of itself. The first
anu eeCUuu passenger CARS NSIe UPSET, anu tbe
second ran into the first several feet; while
the third was left at an angle across the bed
of the road. Floors, windows and seats, ere
demolished, and that the occupants were not
demolished also is a wonder and mercy. One
instance will show the nature of the accident
Lyman A. Belknap, of Boston, was sitting on
his seat, he was thrown forward violently, the
seats and floor were completely stripped
around him, and he escaped through win
dow. About thousand feet of the track was
TORN up, and will have to be repaired before
trains can pass. No blame can be attached to
any one.
LATER. A gang of men were Immediately
set to work on the wreck, and by l2 o'clock
this morning all was cleared up and brought
to this city. and the track made good tor to-
days trains.

Supreme judicial Court.


Tried yesterday, No. $40, Lawrence A.
Lynde VS.. Joseph T. Patterson. This is an
action of trover to recover the value of a gold
watch and chain, alleged to be $3.50. Some
special interest attaches to the case from the
fact that the parties are both blind. The
proofs offered were mainly their own testi-
mony. The question at issue appeared to be
whether there was bona flde sale and de-
livery of the watch from the ptf. to deft., or
whether the deft. got it in his possession by
pretended purchase, with the secret pur-
pose of compelling the ptf. to receive in pay
ment thereof certain stale demands which the
def. held against him. Foster for ptf.,
