The Knowles school-house (so-called) in Lex

We notice that movement is on foot at
Lewiston for an extension of the Androscoggn
railroad to Danville Junction. The lewiston
ties perceive that the extension of the Maine
Central to Portland and the practical consolida-
ton of ;he Maine Central and P. & X. railroads
creates a monopoly of the transportation be-
tween Lewiston and the rest OF the world. In
view OF this fact they naturally cast about for a
different result; and the most natural and

U Bisn1ark's effort to compel the
Roumanian Government to pay up the
interest on the State railway bonds
was movement which threatened to
reopen that eternal wrangle, the Eas-
tern question. What special advan-
tage the reopening of that question
could be to Germany, at the present
crisis, is not apparent. 1t is suggest
ed that Bismark, seeing another war
impending in which France and Rus
STA will probably be united, is dispes-
ed to precipitate the crisis before the
former shall have recovered from her
late terrible disasters. The Gastein
Conference, and the alliance of Ger
many, Austria, and Italy will most
probably have sedative Influence
upon the belligerency of the other
European Powers.

A CURIOUS DOC CAsE.-The latest
English Journals bling long and in
teresting report of an action for the
possession of a Newfoundland dog,
tried at Croydon, be'ore Baron Bran
well. The defendant who had actual
possession of the dog, claimed that he
was seven years old, was lost in 1867.
and was recovered in April, 1871, hav-
ing been found in railway refresh
ment saloon, at Richmond. On the
other hand, the plaintiff, who was the
widow Ct the late Lord Justice Selwyn
commended that the dog was only two
years old, and had been brought up
from his infancy by her and lIer per-
sonal attendants. Both parties swore
positively to this state of facts respect
lively, and appeared to be firmly con-
vinced of the Justice of their cases.
The wi ness, however, of tlie greatest
force and weight was the dog. By or
der OF the judge, he was brought into
court, and, although he mad been in the
custody of the defendant since April, he
evinced the most lively signs of recog-
milton ofa personal attendant of the
plaintiff, who, it was claimed, had had
him under her care when a puppy.
Baron Bramwell summed up the mer-
its of both sides of the case in a neat
and succinct manner, the immense
Newfoundland dog of jet black color,
with white chest and paws, being seat
ed at his side during the whole time Of
the delivery of the charge to the jury.
Under the charge of the court. the jury
found verdict for the plaintiff. being
influenced by the undonbted testimony
of the dumb animal.

IT think it must be jolly thing to

mark, the other day, in group of
laughing girls. l think remember
saying such thing myself in the care
less girlisl' times.
Do you know, girls, what it is to be
widow7 It is ten times more open
to comment than any demoiselle could
possibly be. 1t is to have men gaze as
you pass, first ut your black dress,
then at yonr widows cap, until your
sensitive nerves CULVER under the in
Fiction. 1t is to have one ill-natured
person say, 81 wonder how long she
will wait before she manies again r.
and another answer, "Until she gets
good chance, suppose !" It is. now
and then to meet the glance of real
sympathy, generally from the poorest
and noblest women that you meet, and
feel your eyes fill at the token, SO rare,
that it is alas unlocked for. 1t is to
have your dear, fashionable friend con-
dole You after the following fashion {:
"Oh, well! its dreadful loss. We
knew you'd feel it, poor dear" And
in the next breath, "Yon will be sure
to marry again, and Your widows cap
is very becoming to you.'
But it is more than this to lie Wild
ow. 1t is to miss the strong arm that
you have leaned upon; the true faith
| that you knew cOnld never fail you,
though all the world might forsake
you. 1t is to miss the dear voice that
uttered your name, with a tenderness
none other could give it. 1t is to hear
never more the well-known footsteps
that you few so gladly once to meet.
To see no more the face that, to Your
adoling eyes, seemed as the face of the
angels ofsGod? To feel no more the
twining arms that folded you SO low
ingly the dear eyes that, looking into
your own, said so plainly, whatever it
might seem to others, yours was the
| fairest, earth held for him. 1t is to
flight with mighty sorrow as man
fights with the waves that Overwhelm
him, aud to hold it at arms length for
a while, only to bave-in hours OF

C0rean Trophies Taken by the
French.

The following interesting description
Of the trophies captured by the French
in their Corean expedition, and now
on board the Admiral's vessel, awaiting
transportation'to Paris, is given in late
Shanghai correspondence
The library of the Kang-hoa was al
so transported on board the Admiral's
ship to be sent to Paris. 1t consisted
of about three hundred volumes. The
most curious of the spoils of Kang-hoa
were a series of folding white marble
tables, incased in gilt metal, highly
chased, and edged with crimson silk
damask, with gilt Inscriptions incised
in the marble. They were found in
the temple Of the royal residence. The
execution of these tablets resemble
more work of classic art than the
production of people supposed to
have only the tastes of .barbarians
The inscriptions were in the written
characters common tn China and Japan
and were found to be a code of moral
law. They thus resemble the COM
mandments of the old law, craven on
tables of stone, and preserved in the
temples. A specimen helmet brought
away by the French shows that the
Corean amorers are no mean handi-
craftsmen, while its lining. OF leather
showed workmanship equal, if not SUI
pelior, to any article of European leath-
er work. The manufacture of arms is
doubtless unders' God by the Coreans,
and many specimens of their short
swords of soft iron, bnt not sharp, were
brought away. A Corean musket sent
to Paris exhibits silver enamel set
into the breech OF the barrel, betokenl
ing certain knowledge of art, while
the Octasonal shape of the barrel, and
the neat finish OF the stock was pro-
nonnced most creditable job for these
barbarian artiticers. Strange to say
some of the cannon found at kang -hoa
were breech leaders. These were con
structed by the Coreans in a most sim
pie manner. A small cannon, equal in
length to The charge aud shot, is placed
in a cavity of the breech, similar in
shape to the Snider-Enfield breech-
loading rife. About thirty thousand
taels weight of silver, in ingots, was
fonnd evidence of the existence of sill
yer mines in the country.

Il A correspondent OF the San Fran
CISCO Chronicle, who signs lerself" Tor-
mented Woman" defines her position
thus:
81 am pestered with offers. Now
never offered to marry man; ! never
had the presumption to say to gen.
tleman: If you will be my exclusive
companion for life, l will support you /;
viii be mother to your children.
AS to congeniality, why, I've only
seen yon in company dress, but yon
please me in that, and I'll take it for
granted that in all their intricacies and
complications our natures will come
into perfect sympathy and consan-
guinity with each otl,er.' But men
will make such propositions after a
six weeks acquaintance, when in reali-
ty they know no more of the woman
whom they ask to marry them than
they do of the man in the MOON
There are men who will propose mar
riage to us, whose business would keep
them two-third of the time in. the
wilds of the continent. They seem to
imagine that the honor of their name
and alliance would be sufficient COM
pensation for a life spent two-thirds in
the condition of grass widowhood, or
of one entirely subject to the privations
Of the back woods. There are others
confirmed iutalids, who, because we
are-pleasing to them, elect US to the
station of their nurses for lie. Others
are as poor as poverty, yet not for a
moment do they hesitate to offer us
shares in their like poverty,
"You men. are deluded on this sub
ject of matrimony. You meet a wo-
men attractive to you, and forthwith
you conclude that the be-all and end
all of her existence here is place in
your own private cage, where she is
to sing for your own exclusive benefit.
We propose soon to take hand in
this worlds little game; we're trying
to learn from you how you've managed
SO long and so successfully to stock
The cards; we propose to trump orr
share Of the tricks and see that the
honors are more evenly divided; we
may not all vote, or shrek, or officiate,
as platforms statuary for a Stanton
or an Anthony, but things are work
ing; a new deal all. around is being
quietly Stuffed out, and in a year OF
two more some of you gentlemen who
deem all woman's fitness to be for
making your beds, cooking your food,
scrubbing your floors and rocking your
cradles, will be astounded by the pos,
tons held By u.s.
