The Albany Argus is in favor of a bold
and aggressive campaign against the dem
ocrats in New York. 1t says, and so say
we: "The course of the democrats all
through the late session of Congress does
not present a single tangible line of de-
tense. Even upon the questions of grey
enue reform" and the revival of shipping,
which they seek TO bring to the foreground
they can make no claims whatever.
They were more anxious to embarrass re-
publicans than to put themselves in a
strong and just position. Their course
was one of indiscriminate, and unreason-
ing opposition to the majority, careless OF
its own consistency, Indifferent to its own
rightfulness and guided by no higher or
statesmanlike purpose than to quarrel with
the republicans. And 50 when when we
come to examine their record we find it
utterly indefensible. They voted against
the bill for the reduction of taxes. They
voted repeatedly for the payment of the
debt in greenbacks in violation of the ma
tiona faith. They deliberately voted that
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments
had not been legally adopted. They de-
feated the bill to help our shipping. In
the face of such a record, why should re-
publicans remain on the defensive ?"

of the several States were made as tc
health, physical and mental strength, and
all the conditions which make life COM
Portable and happy, it would reveal the fact
also that Maine is good State to live in.
The war and the enticements of the west
ern country have made heavy drafts upon
our young men, but the tide of emigra-
ton is being checked, and many who have
gone elsewhere to seek their fortune are
returning to spend their days in Maine. A
larger proportion of those who have gone
abroad within the last ten years TO get 8
living have failed. than those who remain
ed and took their chances at home. Any
neighborhood in the State can settle this
question for itself BY glancing at facts

An exchange relates that Foxcroft man
having occasion to cleanse a cider barrel
thought he would use quick-lime. So he put
quantity into the barrel and turned water
upon it, and to make the work more perfect,
put in the bung to keep the steam in. Find
ing, however, that the strain upon the barrel
was rather severe, he undertook to take the
bung out again and while doing so the barrel
exploded, covering him with hot lime and Sc
riously scalding him. His children who were
watching the operation, came in for share
of the spoils rather to the detriment of their
clothing.

The hope now is the city will be starved out
The cable says the French are going to ea

make them perform any worse antics than
they already have as a nation.
The telegraph has gained a good many vic
tories and done wonderful things for the
French. but the rascally Prussians will keep
marching on.
The French have their wits at work. They
are inventors as well as warriors. A grand
balloon is in process of construction for the
purpose of lowering over the suburbs and re.
viewing the operations of the Prussians.
The idea Of the concern is very unique. The
body, or inflated bag, is made of silk, in
the shape of fish, and when it rides in the
air it has similar position to that of fish
in undisturbed water. An engine, with boil
ers, is attached, of very ingenious pattern,
and these together only weigh about $50 lbs.
The balloon is so constructed with the car
and attachments that twelve persons can as
eend at once and still be at perfect liberty.
A novel apparatus propels the monster
through the air, and steering gear regulates
the motions, determines the direction and
modifes either the ascent or descent. De-
string to rise the manager goes up an inclined
plain, the same as fish would in trying to
make the surface; and likewise in going
down the movements are reversed. The
builder conceives that he will be able to bring
the balloon to a state of rest; sail it either
against the wind or at very acute angle
with its direction, and that he can maintain
any given position at liberty. Great conf
dence is expressed in the ultimate success OF
his project
