SPEAKER BLAINE has written a letter
stating that he will not be candidate for
United States Senator from Maine. He
saws that it appears to him quite evil
dent that should he consent to lac a can
didatc and even be elected it would tend
to produce discord among those who
have heretofore been friends, and might
possibly mar the harmony Of the Re-
publican party in Maine. Mr.. BLAINE
is remarkably patriotic. Perhaps none
of his friends have called for him.

SAILING OUT.

We are sailing. sailing outward,
Ger the restless sea of life,
To calm and peaceful haven,
Free from tempest, storm and strife.
All around lis rise the breakers, 6ss
All around are hidden rocks,
But our Father guides the vessel.
And we feel no sudden shocks.
God, be Thou our pilot ever,
Steer our vessel, weak and frail,
In the evening and the morning,
In the sunshine and the gale.
When the skies Of life are fairest,
Or when cIouded darkly Ger,
Guide us safely through the breakers,
To Thy peaceful, stormless shore.
De Thy love our dimless beacon,
Shining out SO clear and bright,
In the gloom and through the tempest,
And the widest, darkest night.
May We sail right ON and onward
To the Country of the Blest,
Some glad day t. cast our anchor
7 In the port of endless rest.

SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING
We find in an exchange the following
simple remedy for house-ants, which
we commend to the attention of house
keepers troubled with these pests:
Procure a large sponge, wash it
well and press it dry, which will leave
the cells quite open and sprinkle over
itsome fine white sugar, and place it
where the ants are troublesome. They
will soon collect upon the sponge and
take up their abode in the cells.
Its only necessary to dip the sponge in
hot water which will wash them out
dead. Puton more sugar and set the
trap for new hanl. The process will
speedily clear the premises Of oyory
ant"

scene occurred the other day at the
citadel Of Dover. The l02d Regi-
ment haveia very fine tiger just come
to this country with the regiment from
India. He is very tame, and is daily
taken for walk, and he also goes
round the mess table getting tit-bits.
The other day his keeper got the worse
for drink, and made his way to the den,
fearing detection. An officer seeing
that the man lay asleep, and the tiger
sitting by him, sent for the picket, who
at any other time can do what they
please with the beast. The moment
they attempted to go near the keep
! er the tiger growled, and very soon
let them see they must keep eff
For two hours the tiger kept guard
over his keeper, who, on awakening,
was surprised to see no one dared to
come near his charge.

evening reported a terrible struggle as
going on at six o'clock ON Thursday even
ing, on the eastern side of Paris, where
General Troohu's forces had fiercely at
tackled that portion of the investing line
held by the Saxon and Wurtemburg
troops. A telegram from Tours contains
intelligence that General Duorot with one
hundred thousand men made a great
sortie from the city, which was complete
" successful, and that the French army
had crossed the river Marine. A dispatch
from Versailles, however, dated Wednes-
day night, while reporting sortie and a
sanguinary engagement, states that the
French were everywhere repulsed, which
il would seem must have been the fact, or
il would not have been possible for the
Germans to maintain telegraphie commu-
nication with Versailles. The battle may
have been continued on Thursday and
Friday, as one telegram reports that the
Prussians have evacuated Amiens, and
retired upon Paris, before which city it
was believed great struggle was going
on.
