"Percie," Mr.. Kimball displayed an original
conception of the tariff question which may
enable him to inform the public by what
means he is able to figure up the duty on coal
to be 65 per cent ON the cost. The tariff
act states that the duty on bituminous coal is
81. 25 per ton; on all other coal except anthra-
cite forty cents ton. Anthracite is free of
duty The bituminous and semi bitumiHous
are mostly used for steaming purposes, whle
the poor or rich man makes his fire of anthra-
cite. Will Mr.. Kimball explain? There are
other similar Inaccuracies in Mr.. Kimballs
borrowed PICTURES but this one is the most
glazing. INQUIRER.

SHARP DoDGE.-Tbe Democratic State |
Committee are sending out large numbers of
circular or paper conducted by Joseph B. Hall
of Portland, formerly Secretary OF State, IN
which Mr.. Kimball the Democratic candidate.
is nominated as the Acknowledgements candidate
for Governor" The sole Importance OF this
announcement, above similar assertion IN the
Argus, is found in the fact that Mr.. Hall was
frrmerly Republican, and now assumes to ad-
dress Republicans as one who has mad DIS
"eyes opened, and has concluded to cast his
lot with the Democracy. Persons who know
this Mr. Hairs movements since the Republic
can party failed 10 continue him Ill Office I'M
derstaud how much Importance to airach to
his claim of being ian honest Republican with
his eyes opened" especially as he gives no dis
tinct reason for such an Opening" 1t is to be
feared that he is influenced by the same con-
sideratOns that another Portland gentleman
was, not long since, who, IN failing to secure a
reappontment to an Office which he had held
nine years, suddenly discovered that the useful
ness of the Republican party expired with his
Office.
| Iha idea however, of Mr.. Hall of all men
putting himself forward as "workingmai,"
aud assuming to nominate Mr.. Rim ball as the
| wUrklngmen's candidate for governor of Maine
| is peculiarly ridiculous, aud will be so con-
sidered by every intelligent nottingham.
| Pray, why ought Mr.. Kimball to receive the
| votes OF workingmen in preference to Mr..
Perham? True, Mr.. Kimball has been a sue
cessful business man, and has amsssed large
property, much larger than Mr.. Perham has
amassed for the reason that the latter was a
farmer and teacher for many years-cccupa
tions in which the gains are slow but sure.
But there is nothing in this to make Mr.
Kimball the workingmen's candidate tor gov

scend to the plane of such demagoguist
| appeals as are used by this sheet sent out BY
the democratic State committee, it will not bt

he has always been drawn into far closer re
lations and sympathy with the toiler, than i
was possible Tor Mr.. Kimball to be.
Let us then hear no more of the democratic
dodge of procuring some one to put forward
, | Mr. Kimball as a workingmen's candidate

the use of such articles is contrary to the
teachings and practice of great majority
of the regular line of N. D.'s, butt see no

IT is stated that the agricultural stats
tics of the census returns will be ready
for publication at an early day, and will
show many interestieg facts now not gen
orally known. They viii prove that
there has been considerable decrease in
the amount of live stock raised in New
England since 1860, while the business
of market gardening, in the vicinity of
the cities and villages, has grown very
rapidly. One consequence of this is a
marked improvement in the style of liv-
ing afforded by the middle classes, as
shown in the greater variety found on
the tables of mechanics and improved
modes of cooking. It is thought that
this will result in a noticeable improve
ment in the health of the people. The
mortality statistics will be very much
more complete than those of any previ-
GUS census, and though the death rate of
1870 may appear greater than that of
1869, which was reported as ! in 30, it is
supposed that this will show rather a
more faithful record than an increase OF
mortality. The bane of all vital statis-
tics is the unknown" column, and this
Gen. Walker expects to reduce from so
to 60 per cent below that of 1860.

The Wandering Jew Interview
ed Again.

A curious rumor come from an OBJ
scure village in the neighb,rhood of Ant
Eerp, that the strange, sad weary figure
Of the Wandering Jew has appeared in
its vicinity. 1t passed through the mar
ket-place, carrying its historical staff IN
its hand, with the old Roman costume,
wern and dingy draped absut it, bare
footed, and with its long beard streaming
in the wind. Adults fed fpm it in af-
fright, but some children followed the
figure to the outskirts of the village,
where it paused and addressed few
words to them. It told them to go back
and tell the people that a new ruler had
arisen in Europe, who would bring Bel
GUM, Holland and other powers under
his rule; that the present year would wit
ness many vicissitudes aruong the peo-
pies, and that many heads now loftily
held will have fallen before its close
Upon being questioned by the children as
to his name, the mysterious stranger re-
sponded: "Seek not to know. L have
been here before in the past. Ishall be
here II - 80 :.s-:. - ;s.y. %s.sy.
ffon:s en-, aud took up its plodding way,
gradually disappearing from their sight.
This singular event has created much
excitement in the neighborhood in which
it is said to have occurred, and the sen
sation caused by the rnmors of this mys-
terious parsonage has spread to Antwerp
and other cities of Belgium. The Wan
dering jew was last seen at Brussels, in
1874. Previously TO that he had been
seen at Strasburg. in 1880. and later in
1880 In some quarters there is a belief
that this person who lately appeared in
Belgium is an imposter, but the accounts
that are given of the sad expression of
his counteuance, the dignity of his bear
ing, and the almost supernatural expires
sion of hiseye, forbade the supposition
in the minds of those who witnessed his
sudden appearance in their midst, that
he was other than that strange mystery
of the ages, doomed for contumely to our
Saviour to abide on earth until he shall
come agaiu--the Wandering Jew.
