trne that we continually read about the num-
ber of women who cannot marry, Il Is no unfit
question for the more resoluGe souls among
them, whether they should not make up their
minds that they will not marry, and thus quail
fy themselves by one severe yet effectnal
effort for an existence resembling that Of
man. By this means alone can they procure
enable chance of success In any profession.
But this is penalty which perhaps not one
of all their male fellow-students would
undertake to pay; and 1t is the most cruel
remuneration which can be eXacted from q
human creature. Thus success Is profession
nay, the mere initfatory possibility of success
requires from woman not equality with man,
but on amount Of intellectual and moral supe-
riority over him, which can only be found In
the rarest and most Isolated cases. To him
the prospect of marriage is the strongest In
simple ruin, so far as her work is concerned.
If then she has the magnanlmity and selfde-
votion to cut herself of from all that Is popu-
larly considered happiness fh life-from all that
youth most dreams of, and the heart most
cares for-she is free to enter into and pursue,
and very likely will succeed In profession,
which men, with all solaces of love and help of
companionship, pursue by her side at not half
the cost. Perhaps, even then, after she has
made this sacrifice, she will find that she Is the
pot of earth making her way among their pots
of iron; and that their superior physical pow
ers and bolder temperament will carry them
beyond her, notwithstanding the superior de-
votion she has shown, and the price she has
paid. But this is the best we can promise her
when all is done-to (perhaps) succeed as
well, at the cost of everything, as her compeh
tors who 90 into 1t with the cOmmonest of mo-
tives, and at no cost at all.

and forty-nine thousand nine hundred and
eighty-tWo feet of lumber were used. The
work of preparation was completed on Friday
afternoon, August 20, being two months and
twenty days from the commencement.
Everything being In readiness, on Saturday
morning, August q, Iuan was stationed at

lines of the several walls to watch the rollers

they having to be changed every two inches
the building moved. At signal given by the
superintendent, every man at the screws made
one quarter turn, which carried the hotel west
ward about one-eighth of an inch. The rate OF
moving was about an inch IN llVe minutes; the
greatest speed was two inchcsin four minutes
1t took about an hour and three-qnarters to
move the length of the screws, which was
twcnty-one inches, and when this distance
was accomplished the work was suspended
each time To arrange the screws and blocking.
The distance accomplished the first day was
thirty-six inches, the second day five feet,
third day forty.siX INCHES, and the fourth day
two feet: the whole distance, thirteen feet and
ten inches, being completed on Wednesday
morning, August 25, at twelve minutes before
ten O'Clock. The actual time of moving was
thirteen hours and forty minutes.
After the building was in is destined place,
the interior braces and ties were cleared away,
the iron tramways taken up, and such Of The
rollers as were loose taken out; the others
were LETT in their places, the wooden guides
being removed, and the spaces between being
filed in solid with Portland cement. Four

labor were spent in performing the work, and
the whole cost was about thirty thousand dol

raised. but none of equal size removed. Nov

who had it in charge.

THE COMING CANVASS.
From the Laurcnsville Herald.l

It Is an old maxim, In which there Is much
of sound philosophy, Sin time of peace pre-.
pare for war" The political campaign for 1876
is soon to open, and the destinics OF com
monwealth are again 10 be put up as the prize
When we contemplate the results at stake, is
1t not high time that the leaders of the Dcmoc
racy were planning for the battle, and prcpar.
Judgment? Let the plans be broad and un.
mistakable; let them bc free from mOngrel-
ism, for late efforts in other States show that
such can. only end in division and defeat,
There Is no common ground upon which De-
mocrats and Radicals can meet--thcre Is moth.
Ing of sympathy between such opposing elc-
mcnts-thcir principles are as dissimilar US the
features and faces that compose their ranks.
Let us then avoid anything like hybridiSn; lei
US boldly proclaim the good old principles oi
our fathers that held sway in the carly days
Of the Republic, and make fair, square and
manly struggle for the victory.
In this county the victory is our own, if we
really wish it. We have only to make o long
pull, a strong pull, and pull altogether, and
we win beyond doubt II, however, we have
any dlscord in our ranks, we are just as GER
tain to meet with failure and disgrace. We
must move forward shoulder to shoulder, and
as one man strike for the mastery. The enc
my is solid phalanx, and we must be the
same in opposition. The old idea that VIC
all formerly cherished. that this or that friend
must be nominated for Office, or that the
claims of this or that section OF coun ry must
prevail, must give way to the necessities OF
the times. We now struggle for principles,
not for men; and private preference must yield
to the public good. 1t is only by regular
nomination that we can hope for unanimity,
and in combined action alone can We
hope for victory. The Romans learned some
of :iIeir most valuable arts Of war from their
enemies. Let us do the same. The cncEess
of our political foe, cemcnied by ignorance,
has been the surprise of the white man. To-
gether Radicals stand or fall-tley allow no
division in their ranks, and here Is the secret
Of their success. Cannot the intelligence and
interest of the white man form as strong a
cement as the ignorance of the negro? Let,
then, private wishes and local influences be
forgotten in the common good, for there must
not be any division if we would avoid defeat
and consequent disgrace. As one man, then,
let us conduct the coming canvass. The enc
my are beginning to show signs Of animation

The meanest and measliest of Door crea-
lures that 60 about this queer city are not the
lobbyists, the claim agents, the cadet brokers,
or the land SPECTATORS; but those ex. Con-
gressmen elected to stay at home, who sneak
back to the scenes of their former iniquity, to
finish up the little trades ard steals which
they had not concluded while serving the peo-
pie as accredited members. They look mean
and feel mean, and they know that men know
it. The mistaken leEity of the House per-
mits such to have access to the floor of Con-
gress and to the private lobbies, and there you
see them scouting around, whispering, nudg-
ing. drawing their confederate pimps back in
to cloak rooms and alcoves, and seeking with
all the avidity OF greed to cench the schemes
which they set running when they had taken
the oath of Office. / have several Of these
self-convicted apparitions of their former
greatness in my eye as l write. Here is one
whom may call Montpelier Footpath, ex-
honorable from the Androscoggibus district.
His hair looks like blasted red heath, pair
of spectacles, which nearly blind him, serve
to conceal the avaricious twinkle of his little
pale eyes. He is the possessor of three sole

something upon this genuine stock, Montpel-
Ter Footpath visits his ancient haunts, and he
slips past the door-keeper with the most cleri-
cal countcrnance he can assume, saying, "Ex-
member" at which password the door-keep-
ers wink at each other and Significantly slap
the site of their breeches' pockets. Beau
Hickman, who had been standing by the door
keepers for some time, hoping to see some
member emerge from whom he might demand
a quarter, observed the Honorable Montpelier
60 in and out by using the magic word: SO
Beau resolved to make a bold push for the
floor himself, and, therefore, giving his long
mustache military twist, running out pair
of spectacles, and stuffins bundle OF Con-
gressional documents under his arm, Beau
strobe up to the door-keepers and said in i'm
perious tones, .Ex-member." "Go in, Beau
