The Mixed and Striped Ticket.

We understand that Peleg o. vickery and
Judge Rice constitute the ticket Of the oppo-
sition for members of the Legislature.
1t was made up at secret conclave Of the
so-called Labor Reformers, at which only
those were admitted who could give the signs
and grips.
We understand that there is to be no DEM
ocratic caususl How are the mighty fallen
To think that the Democracy Of Augusta have
a ticket dictated to them by small gang of
malcontents led by P. O. Vickery! And they
have to submit and place the name of Judge
Rice second to that of the illustrious Chief
Engineer of the Augusta Fire Department!

money paid into his hands enthusiastically
BY the Railroad Company, for the use of the
city's fire department property, and for which
money the Treasurer Of the Company holds

Of it has ever gone into the city treasury to

THE MAINE CENTRAL RAILROAD.

Inc MAINE Centr2l hallroad ana the fOrt
land & Kennebec before it, have been support
ed cordially by the republicans of Augusta.
They have done this for no party purpose.
Their motives were honorable. They neither
asked nor expected any partizan reward.
But it is now rumored abroad that the
President of the Maine Central has been nom
mated by the democrats or Labor Reformers
(the same thing in secret caucus, and that
through him the Maine Central is to enter the
field against the republican candidates. That
Judge Rice should be candidate on such
terms as only to carry his proper personal
character into the contest, is q matter to
which nobody would object; but if he throws
or attempts to throw, as 1t is said he will, the
prestige and influence of his official position
as President of the Company into the scale,
then the republicans will have the best reason
to complain, and the friends and stockholders

The democrats are losing the few places
which they held in the country. At the late
election in Wilmington, Delaware, thii
stronghold Of democracy was carried by q
large majority for the republican ticket. The
late news 10 not very encouraging to demo-

"He shines and STINKS and
STINKS and shines like ROT
TEN mackerel by moonlight"

We do not wish to deprive Mr.. Pillsbury o
any of his henors, and we therefore reproduce
the extract in full. 1t was considered at tn,
time one step lower than Brick Pomeroy hat
gone, and so the Lacrosse Democrat, unable
to surpass Pillsbury, could only admire and
quote him.
We hear that Mr.. Pillsbury has been en-.
gagged by Superintendent johnson to go round
this autumn and lecture before the Teachers
Institutes in the various counties. We sug-
gest the above paragraph as q select and ele.
giant extract to be given out by Mr.. Pillsbury
as an exercise in parsing.
And for an arithmetical exercise, Mr.. Pills
bury might PROFOUND this:
"If take the Attorneyship and agency of
n Land Company in West Virginia, in 1866,
when the shares Of said Company are selling
at 60 to 70 cents, and after five years of my
services said shares can be bought for or 10
cents, how many of said shares must Re-
publican, actively engaged in politics, own
and possess, in order to constitute him 'enor-
mously wealthy"
And as question of morals and political
economy, Mr.. Pillsbury can submit to the In
stitutes the inquiry whether there was any
connection between the decline in the market
value of the West Virginia property and his
own attorneyship; or whether the one event
merely followed the other in point of time,
and not as effect following cause whether,
in short, it was a case of post hoe or propteg
hoc' The little boys in the Latin grammar
classes at the Institutes will translate these
phrases for Mr.. Pillsbury, and he must mo-
think there is any abuse in them till they arc
fully explained to him. Daniel O'Connel
MORALLY wounded the feelings of an Irisl
truckman by calling him an "indisputabl,
parallellogram." We intend no similar
harshness to Mr.. Pillsbury.
And finally, as rhetorical specimen, Mr.
Pillsbury must carry to the Institutes ant
read to them his late four column, triple shot
ted, "double hextra" pyonunciamento, as &
specimen of high style. 1t combines the Sc
verify of Junius, the smoothness of Addison
and the lofty dignity Of Tillotson. Compared
with it the productions of Daniel Pratt and
| the illusions of George Francis Train are
weak and drizzling compositions. The Insti-
tutes will be charmed with it.
By the way, had Mr.. Pillsburys engage
ment by Mr.. johnson any thing to do with
that fulsome compliment with which the
Standard of this week seeks to injure our ex-
cellent Superintendent of Public Instruction

How the Mnm Who Was Going 10 Set the

Pacific Ocean Fire was Disposed Of
Some time ago man named Gregory Sum-
merfeld was murdered by being pushed from
the platform of a car on the Union Pacific
railroad at Cape Horn, and falling down a
thousand feet on the rocks below. Summer
field was man of extraordinary literary and
scientific attainments, and was always known
before his death as "the man with the secret"
The only person on the platform with him
when he was thrust down the preclpice was
Leonidas Parker, Sacramento lawyer of
talent and excellent refinement. He was
twice tried for the murder, and each time
mysteriously acquitted. Recently he died,
but left behind him an explanation of the
whole transaction. A short time before Sum-
merfield's death he came into Parkers office.
that being his first appearance in San Francis
co for number OF years, and told him that he
had fathOmed the mighty secret of making
water burn by means of preparation of po-
tassium, which would separate the particles
and ignite the liberated oxygen, thus creating
and recreating its own force, and proceeding
until all the particles were destroyed.
Possessed of this terrible power,he demand
ed $1O00,000 TO be raised in San Francisco,
or he would set the Pacific ocean on fire. and
let the world take the consequences Parker
thought himself dealing with lunatic and
treated the matter disdainfully, bat offered to
try one of his potassium pills in a wash bowl
of water, which skipped and hissed around as
| it always does, and seemed about to expire,
when sharp explosion took place, and to
his surprise, the liquid blazed in livid flames
| to tie ceiling until every drop was consumed
Deeming this worth considering, he impaired
| the discovery with Summerfield's condition,
| to a leading banker, a bishop, a chemist, two
State university professors, a physician,
judge and two Protestant divines, who, with
himself, witnessed the experiment on q
grand scale in mountain lake ten miles from
| San Francisco. In fifteen minutes every
| drop of water in the pool was consumed, and
| the committee became alarmed, while Sum-
merfield became importunate.
