In 1862 the falling off was greater than
Il was this fall. There was more ground
for Democratic hopes for the Presidential
election of 1868 than there is now for the
one In 1879.
Thus careful analysis of the subject
shows beyond a doubt that no party in
power ever so successfully combated the
"off" evil as the Republican party in the
election just closed This is fact that
defies refutation, and shows the absurdity
of all talk about third party to rise upon
the ruins of the one now in power. chi

also, that the estimates made by several depart

1t is anoticeable fact that the estimated expendi-
tures for the next fiscal year, including payments
on account of the sinking fund and for interest
the public debt are nearly equal to the receipts
as to justify and demand the greatest caution in
dealing with the revenues and business of the
country. 1t is apparent that a disaster, or even
serious check to business, would reduce the reve-
nues below our necessary expenditures. 1t Is ap-
parent also that the prosperous condition of the
country is largely due to the revenue system in
augurated during the war by which manufactures
and the mechanic arts have been extended and es-
tablished. This policy cannot now be rashly aban-
doned or suddenly and radically changed without
great injury TO business and labor and serious

1t will be seen that Maine does not stand
quite so well as we had supposed. Her
population in 1870 is only .7l9 against
62s, 900 in ls60-a gain of only 1l9. Ii
will be seen that Androscoggin. Aroostook,
Cumberland. Penobscot. and Washington
have gained in populat,on-Androscog
and Aroos.ook taking the lead; and that
Franklin. Hancock. kennebec. Knox, Lin
coin. Oxford, Piscataquis. SagadahOc,
Somerset. Waldo and York. have lost
Sagadahoc, Lincoln and Franklin having
lost the most proportionately. The ship
building counties, it will be seen, have
suffered the most. and the strictly agricul-
tural count,es come next. AvOOstOok is
an exception to this. but as she is q new
coun,y. just being opened to settlement.
she does pot come within the rule. The
increase of population can be traced in
almost every ins auce to the development
of water power, which has not only fur
nished employment for young meu and
women who would otherwise have left the
Safe, but has suDolied home market for
the agricultural region surrounding it.
The census speaks to us in eloquent terms
Of the importance of developing our wafer
power.
As the population of the whole country
has increased at least 25 per cent, Maine
will lose 4 member of Congress in the
next 2pport tiOnment. unless the number Of
membe.s of the National House shall be
increased. as is perhaps probable. As our
Legislature will be called upon this win
ter to re-appo, ton the STATE for Council
lors, Senator'S and Representatives on the
basis of the new census, il will be seen
that The political power of several coun-
ties will be increased, and that of others
reduced. Looking for a moment at the aI,
portionment of 81 Senators. we see that
Androscoggin will have two; that Knox
must lose one; and that the increase Of
the population in Aroostook and Penob-
scot may lead TO The relation of the sena-
to.ial representation of Waldo, Somerset,
Oxford. or some other counties. The

The barn Of Joseph Deering. Esq. G

The barn of Joseph Deering, Esq, Of
Guilford, was consumed by fire on the
night Of the 18th, inst, together with
twenty five tons of hay, six cattle, horse,
carriage, harness and farming tools. From
the fact that the fire occurred late in the
night when no one OF the family had been
to the barn since early in the previous
evening, it is presumed to haye been the
work Of one or more incendiaries, and
strong suspicion falls upon some prowling
vagabonds who had been refused the
privilege Of sleeping o. the hay NOW.

Not long ago newly-married couple
from the country established themselves
at fashionable hotel il one Of our West
ern cities, for the purpose Of "seeing

pretty, the husband honest and Eerdant.
The pair had been in the hotel some
twenty four hours, when the bridegroom
walked up to the clerk and remarked :
"That's my wife that stnps In the
room with me-"
Eyes, supposed so." was the bland
reply of the clerk.
"Well, I thought I'd mention it, con-
tinued the man, " so you wouldn't think it

The Origin OF Petroleum..

The origin Of combustible volatile and
liquid mineral products, such as gas,
oil, tar, asphalt, is still an open question.
The presenceof large bodies of anthracite
coal lead to the suspicion that. oil was
derived from the distillafion Of bitunin.
GUS coal by volcanic action. Explosions
in coal mines indicate that gases can be
produced in the beds OF coal without the
heat, and according as the gases have a
vent TO escape, or are under heavy pres.
slre. can they remain volatile, or form
liquids. Petroleum usually occurs in
porous fosilifarous limestones, Oh in
such sandstones as ara evidently Of mar,
inc origin. This has led geologists to
look upon petroleum as Of animal origin
and recent observations in Egypt have
served TO sustain this view
There are in Egypt natural petroleus1
springs now in actual formation. The

Near Erie there lives colored per-
son by the name of James Stewart,
whom the community by common con-
sent have dubbed Commodore Stewart.
He is talented but excentric indiyidu-
al, and has weakness for chickens.
On one occasion. being found near a
poultry-yard under suspicious circum-
stances, he was interrogatsd rather sharp
ly by the owner Of the premises as fol-
lows:
well, Jim, what are You doidg
here 2''
"Oh, muffin, muffin /; jess walkin'

"What do you want with my chick
ems p
"Nufin at all. I was only lookin'
at 'em, dey looks 80 nice"
This answer was both coneiliatory
aid conclusive, aud would have been
satisfactory had it not been for Jim's
hat. This was o rather wern soft teit,
good deal to large for it's wearer's
head and it seemed to have motion
entirely unusual in hats, and a mani.
festly due to some remarkable cause.
It seem.d to contract and expand and
move of itself, and clearly without Jiln's
velition So next the inquiry was
What 10 the matter with your hat I"
my hatf OATS an ole hat. Use
fond of dat hat"
well, take it OF and let's look at
it."
"Tske off dis hat = No, sab. I'd
ketch cold in my head, sartin. Always
keep my hat on when I'm out O. doors"
And with that.Jim was about beating
a hasty retreat, when, at his first step,
a low kluk. klnk, kluk," was heard
coming only too clearly from the region
of his head-gear This was fatal; and
Jim vas stopped and forced to remove
his hat, when a plump half grown chick
en- jumped out and ran hastily away,
The air with which the enlprit gazed
after ii was study for a painter, it
expressed to perfection wonder and
perplexity blended, but nota trace of
quilt slowly he spoke, as though ex-
nla;nipg the matter to himself, and ac-
counting for so remarkable an incident.
