REMAINS OF ANSON BURLINGAME.

The remains of Arson Buringamc arrived
in Boston on Thursday. They were accom-
panied by two gentleman detailed for the pur-
pose by His eXcellency the Governor of the
Commonw ealth, the members of the commit
tee of government appointed for the same
purpose, and Mr.. Edward l.. Burlingame, son
of the deceased, Mr.. Edward Livermore, and
one or two other relatives.
Awaiting at the station were His Honor
Mayor Shurtleff, Alderman Pierce, Alderman
Jacobs, President ingalls, of the Common
Council and Messrs. Gray, Mout0n and Will
liams of the same branch of the City Govern
ment. Alderman March of Cambridge and
President Converse of the Cambridge Com
mon Council were present representing that
city, and Alderman Fletcher representing the
city of Chelsea. As a committee represents
ing the family of the deceased were Hon. H..
A. Rice, Hon. George b. Upton and Sheriff
Clark of Boston.
Upon the train, in addition to those already
named, were Gen. n. p. Banks and number
of the officers of Newport line of steamers.
A detachment of police took position oppo-
site the car containing the casket and kept Il
space clear from the intrusion of the curious
vet orderly and patient crowd who had
thronged into the depot. The casket, having
been enclosed in heavy wooden case before
shipment, was found to be both too heavy and
too large to be put into the funeral car, weigh
ing as it did altogether about twelve hundred
pounds. About quarters of an hour
was occupied accordingly in removing this
exterior casing which was made of heavy
plank about two inches thick and heavily tas-
tened. BY this means the weight was rcduc-
ed some two or three hundred pounds and the
size in equal or greater proportions. The
casket was then lifted from the train into the
funeral car by number of the most stall
wart officers Of the police, who Immediately
after took position on each side of the vehi-
Gle and marched as guard of honor as the
! procession slowly moved by the most direct
route to Faneuil Hall.
Following the hearse were eight carriages,
the first being occupied by His Honor Mayor
Shurtleff, Alderman Pierce, and Messrs. +.
l.. Burlingamc and Edward Liycrmorc. the
second by Aldermen Jacobs, ex-Mayor Rice.
Gen. Banks. and Hon. Geo. b. Upton, and
those following by the gentlemen already
named, and others.
Upon arrival at Faneuil Hall the casket was
removed without delay or ceremonial from
the hearse to one of the smaller apartments o.
the hall, where it remained in charge of the
family of the deceased, and from which the
| public were excluded.

TEFOCNDED INPUTdTiON.

We find the following remarks i'll the
Ellsworth American Of last week, in an ar
ticle upon the question of a candidate for
Governor:
..Wbether il is true or not many well mean
ing persons, who are not particularly OF a]cal-
Gus cast of mind, think Mr.. Blaine was the
cause of Mr.. Morrilps defeat winter before
last and no amount of plausible excuses, nor
of probable palliating circumstances for the
Kennebec detection at that time, will make
them see it otherwise"
We deem it our duty for the sake of
truth and justice, and for no personal con-
sideration or bias, to deny without quail
ification the truth of the charge made in
the above. 1t is an imputation totally
without foundation, the product of igno-
rance of facts, incorrect reasoning from
false premises, and unfair motives; and
must be as annoying to Mr.. Morrill, as un.
lust to Mr.. Blaine. We feel authorized tC
say that the warmest personal friendship
and confidence have existed and still eXis
between the two gentlemen mentioned
(Which could not be possible if the abov,
charge were true) and that neither this
SANDER nor anything at present probable
in the future will avail to break or disturb
the cordial relations between them. We
do not charge the Ellsworth American
with any unjust intent in its remarks above
but seeing the SANDER which sprang from
irresponsible sources reiterated in tho
columns of what we have always taken t.
be fair, straightforward republican jour
nal, we deemed it proper for us to MAKE
this statement, We have a better opinion
even Of the opposition papers than to sup
pose they would wilfully repeat for any
malicious purpose charge so false rs this
is. Were it true we should be the last to
deny or attempt to excuse so gross an act
of treachery as it implies.

POLITICAL.

One Daniel Pratt is urged by many Ala
bama papers as the Democratic candidate
for Governor of the State.
In Delaware the colored voters have ably
answ cred Bayard's speech and the subse-
auent resolutions by resolving to have no.
thing to do with the Democratic party.
The New York World intimatcs that
it wants to make no further issue on the
Fifteenth Amendment. 1t says it will
accept the judgment of the Democratic
State Conventions this summer, which it
thinks will be expressed by "silence."
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune says that the Republi-
cans of Maryland are preparing for stir
ring campaign this summer and fall. and
they express themselves confident of be-
ing able TO redeem the State.
The Illinois Constitutional Convention
has been served with IA protest from 1880

Gen. Forrest denies having said there
are &c, 900 Ku-Klux in Tennessee, as re.
ported in the testimony of Gov. Senter be-

yention, nineteen Democrats voted against
it-seventecn were absent-while but two

and voted with the Republicans.
The Boston Advertiser insists that the
right of a State to rescnd its ratification
of constitutional amendment is a ques
ton which ought TO receive the early at
tention Of the proper authorities. SO Ions
as it remains open, it says, it is posi-
bic source of controversy and even of dan
ger.

SPRING. TINE.

The season of seed time is opening with
excellent promise, calling upon the plough
man to drive .'his team afield," and all
hands to commence active labor in pre-
pairing the ground for crops. The genial
sun begins to have warmth in his rays
that invites to out door work, the breezes
smack of balm as they pass along, and the
melody of birds is heard in the morning
giving notice of coming joys. The life of
the well-to-do farmer is the happiest in the
world if he would but believe and be con-
tent. Many who have left the plough to
engage in other occupations know this by
experience, but unfortunately they are sell
dom able to make their experience answer
for others. who look with dissatisfaction
upon the fields they are obliged to till and
sigh for some business that seems to pro-
mise them more surely fame or fortune
This is the history of the world we be-
lieve. The young man leaves his rural
home, Disguised with the hoe and scythe
and farmyard, and takes his way to the vii
lage or city to find employment as clerk,
apprentice, anything that does not remind
him of the barn Oh bayfield,. If he be-
comes a mechanic he has life of toll be-
fore him, if q clerk he enlists in game of
chance, and if he enters profession he
finds the way to honor very uncertain, and
the struggle for a livelihood with the nu-
merous competitors he meets one that
tasks soul and body and makes him feel at
last, even though successful that the hum
BILE life which he left was the path of wis
dom. But all this has been repeated many
times, and will be again, and still it has
not made and will not make the farmer
more contented, the boy less ambitious to
rove, or impress him with the advantages
he rejects and the difficulties he hastens to
embrace.
Nevertheless, while the earth is putting
on her robe of green and the sky is chang
ing to the season Of pleasant sunshine and
gentle rains, we commend the farmer to
his plough, upon which not only he but all
must depend for support. There is no
fear that his products will not be wanted
be his harvest ever SO abundant. The soil
Of Maine is stubborn but strong, and a
market is never wanting for what it brings
forth. And while we thus speak to the
hard listed toiler, we admonish the mar
of books and indoors work generally
to be "up with the lark" or robir
these mornings and try his hand in tho
garden at spade, hoe or pruning knife
Let him not stand and look on with gloveC
hands as some hired workman stirs The
soil, but bury his own digits in the dirt ant
bend his back to the spade till the swea
runs freely and his bones ache. An houl
or two given to this each day will enable
him to accomplish more the remainder o
the day at hisregular business, and suppl.
him with new life, health and strength
making him feel vigor to which he is un
accustomed without such exercise. If tn
members of the household find an opportu
nifty to try their hand at the flower garden
they will catch bloom upon their cheek
from the beauties around them that no al
tificial dyes can rival, and make their day
in the land many and happy

tribute to the merits OF lIelmbods Buchu, and for
the benefit of those similarly afflicted as myself, to
say that after cons tlng many eminent ply icians
and trying nearly all the best advertised remedies
in the vain hope OF finding relief from aggravated
kidney and bladder diseases. from which have
suffered excessively for many years, good fortune
finally suggested to me Helmbold'a Buchu, which
commenced using with little faith, and no apparent
beneficial results for about a month. At the eXpir
alton of that time, however, thought commenced
to experience slight relief which encouraged me to
persevere in its use, and now, at the expiration of
four months, although j am an inirn OLD man,
nearly % years of age, and consequently medicines
cannot be expected to favorably affect me as they
otherwise would, have found such unspeakhble
relief and permanent benefit from Mr., Helmbold's
valuable discovery, that feel ought to publicly
record the fact as an acknowledgement to him and
a valuable suggestion TO the public.
