BONE FELoN.-Of all painful things, can
there be any SO excruciatingly painful as a
bone felon? We know of none that flesh is

and subject of much earnest consideration,
we give the latter recipe for its cure, which
is given by that high authority the London
Luncet: GAS soon as the disease is felt, put
directly over the spot fly blister, about the
lsize OF your thumb nail, and let it remain fol
six hours, at the expiration of which time dl

seen the felon, which can be instantly taker
out with the point of a needle or lancet. ~

Who NAMED THR PACIFIC OCEAN p
1t was Ferdinand de Mag haens, or MA

named the Pacific Ocean. Balboa dis
covered it, from the Isthmus Of Darien,
several years before, but dc not give it
the name. Magellan was native of
Portugal, but had been several years in
the service of Spain, when he formed the
design of going westward from Spain to
the East Indies. He started with five
ships III 1919; reached South America in
aiety, but had to queIl q mutiny among
his rascally crew before proceeding fur
Their. Then, continuing his voyage, he
passed through the remarkable strait
which bears his name, thus saving hun
dreds Of miles Of navigation around Cape
Horn, where it is said, Forever and ever
the widest winds Of heaven seem let
loose to- vex the ocean into madness"
Then finding the waters so much more
placid than the Atlantic, he named the
ocean Pacific He reached the Ladrone
Islands, and thence the PHILIPPINE Islands.
here he was killed in quarrel among

being the first that had circumnavIgated

POLITICAL NOTES

The Massachusetts, Republican State Com
mittee resolved not to change the time OF
holding the State Convention. To have done
otherwise would have been quite unwise.
The republican candidate for President and
Vice President will not both be from the West
in the next election. The West will not ask
it, and plain prudence is against it.
Jake Thompson, the Secretary of the In
terror under Buchanan, has been interviewed.
He says he is disgusted with public affairs,
and willing that the northern democracy shall
lead whithersoeyer they will in 1872, even to
taking the new departure. He has taken to a
planters life in Mississippi, and is not dis
turbed by Ku-Klux, but is alarmed lest Cen
eral Grant may upset the Constitution.
Mr.. Doolittle advises the democrats to NOM
mate some conservative republican for Presi-
dent. 1t is thought his description of a
candidate bears very close resemblance to
himself, and for this reason his disenterested
advice has already been rejected by some
leading democratic papers.

claim that he has great political strength in
Central and Western Massachusetts,. The
friends of Messrs. Washburn, Rice and jew
ell combined greatly outnumber the advo-
Gates of DR.. Loring, while General Butler
has but little real strength in the Republican
ranks. His followers are really the odds and
ends of several small parties, most of whom,
like Wendell Phillips, are antagonistic to Re-
publican supremacy in Massachusetts,. The
Young Democrats, who appear to have be-
come masters of the situation and to have
stirred their party to its foundations, are in
favor of an entire change of the state ticket

have but little sympathy from them"

REPUBLICAN NOMINATION..
SNOW THEN AROUND.

The democrats who have stoutly denied
the existence of the KuKlux. will we hope
have an opportunity to get rid OF Their I'M
belief. When the first reports were re-
ceiyed of the terrible animal known as the
gorilla, they were not credited, but were
supposed to be mere sensation stories
started to amuse and cajole the multitude.
But when specimen was caught, Gagged
and exhibited, there was an end OF doubt;
those who saw the animal with their eyes
believed.
We learn that at Swan Station, on the
Chatham railroad, in North Carolina, there
were recently captured ten KuKlux in full
uniform, who have been exhibited in Ra-
leigh and are held to answer the charge
of numbering several negroes. They are
pronounced to be the real live animal, and
no mistake,l bearing upon them all the
marks and signs of the frightful livery or
costume which they have invented and
chosen to serve the devil and the demo-
cratic party in.
Now we hope that this half score OF
imps, instead of being turned over to the
hangman, may be sent into these northern
States and exhibited free in every city
town and village. Let them come in then
full internal regala. without streak OBJ
liberated, or shorn Of horns, hoofs or tail
All doubt about them will disappear in
the real presence, as about the gorilla
aforetime. They might thus be made tt
serve the cause of truth and humanity
and put money into the pocket of The
Snowman. We think there are few de-
cent democrats who could look upon sucl
specimens of their 'sdear southern breth
rem" as they appear when prowling abou
the huts of the ignorant negroes to terrif
or murder them, that would care to kee
up the relationship. By all means let thei
be passed around. 81"

STATE Politics.

In Cumberland county the republican con-
yention will be held to-day.
In York county the democratic convention
was held yesterday, and the republican con-
vention takes place to-day.
A publication called the Free Trader is
taking an interest in our Maine election in
behalf of Mr.. Kimball. Will it please explain
what its candidate means when he quotes the
duty on plush as an example of the evils of
protection. Let that be the first lesson.
The Argus learns that there are great
many workmen employed in the granite BUSH
ness near Roekland, and invites them to vote
the democratic ticket next September. When
these laborers remember that democrats in
Congress and out have opposed appropriations
for public buildings, and thus would have de-
stroyed business upon the granite lodges of
Maine, turning the mechanics employed there
out Of work, they will probably conclude to
support the democratic party ''over the left"
We trust the hard listed laborers will vote,
but they win not vote for Kimball if they
understand themselves, and we think they do.
The Kennebec republican county conven-
ton placed in nomination yesterday an ex-
cellent ticket Mr.. Foster of Waterville and
Mr.. May Of Winthrop are the senatorial can
didates. Mr.. Foster has been Speaker of the
House and served one term in the Senate.
He is able as well as experienced and rising
young man. Mr.. May is one of the best clti-
Gems of the enterprising town to which he be-
longs, has served with credit in the House,
and in various public capacities, and will
honorably represent his constituents Mr..
Young of Pittston has proved his fidelity to
the interests Of the county as County Com
missioner. No better man could be nominated
for the position. Mr.. Stratton, nominated
for Clerk of Courts, is model officer, expert,
sound, gentlemanly, and has become SO nee
essary to the courts of our county that ne has
been elected term after term and the end is
not yet. Mr.. Fogler, the nominee for Regis
ter of Deeds, is a brave soldier boy, was
severely wounded in the army, served as
Secretary to the Governor and Executive
Council during the term of Governor Cham
berlain, and was appointed by the Governor
to the vacancy in the Register of Deeds Of
fee which he is now filling. He is an accom-
plished officer, and worthy man. Mr.. Starks
fills the responsible place of Treasurer with
scrupulous fidelity and integrity. There is no
fear that the funds of the county will not be
strictly taken care of in his hands. He has
filed this and other important positions, and
always with credit and success. The ticket
deserves and will receive the entire support
of the republicans in the county.
