"A SUFFERER" gives elsewhere his views
on the subject of dishonest domestics." Ev-
erybody remembers what the lion said when
he was shown picture in which a man was
represented as triumphing over one of the le-
onine family. His remark was to the effect
that if lions were painters they would present
another side of the case. All their lions
would be represented standing over some
PROSTATE man. We imagine that il servan,
girls were writer's they would so present their
case as materially to modify prevailing opin-
ions. They would no doubt tell of the pride,
arrogance and inhumanity of their masters
and mistresses-of the inadequacy of their re-
muneration-of treatment that, if dumb ami
mails were concerned, would raise up Prof
Bergh in every city-of the temptations to
which they are often exposed by unprincipled
employers, and of many more WRONGS and
grievances. No doubt the gentleman who
furnishes the communication treats his do
mestics with kindness and consideration. and
has suffered, like many others, in the way he
describes. What we insist upon is that there
are faults of not less magnitude than pilfer-
ing. Except in some cases, nothing is done
to improve the intelligence or moral qualities
of "demestics," and the employer thinks he
has performed his whole duty toward them
when he has obtained from them the greatest
amount of physical toll for the smallest posi-
BILE compensation. There is no one thing
that measures the low standard of modern
civilization and our distance from the milen-
mum so perfectly as the low, aoickedly low
wages paid to servant girls.

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE IN LISBON, MAINE.
"A singular phenomenon occurred last week,
in the field of John Gould, Jr., in Lisbon. A
loud noise was heard in the vicinity, on the
same day the shock of earthquake was expe-
rienced at Richmond. People rushed out of
doors and looked around to discover the cause
of the noise, but nothing unusual was to be
seen. Since then, it has been tonnd that a
largo of earth has been lifted from its
place, in Mr.. Gould's field, by some unknown
power-unless the earthquake may have had
some connection with it, The earth remov-
ed is nearly in the form of parallelo-
gram, on the surface. It is about twelve
feet long, and four wide, and is fully a
foot thick, or to the depth of the frost. Il is
as regular, and the corners are as well defined
as though cut by a saw, and was thrown out
apparently by some tremendous power exerted
on all parts alike, as it was deposited "right
side up" half its width from the place it for
merly occupied. The ground on one side Of
the hole, is puffed up about six inches, to the
rising land, about rod distant. The place
has been visited by many persons, and all pro-
n0unce it remarkable and unaccountable oc.
currence.
