ASTRANGE RESENTMENT. The Ban
gor Wing says that musician named
Charles Berry, of Augusta, played at a
ball at Kendall's Mills last Monday eve
ming, and after the ball retired to rest as
usual, but was restless and unable to
sleep, aud a sensation of dread of some
thing wrong took hold of his mind. He
tried to shake it off aud courted sleep in
vain. So strong did this uneasiness be.
come, that he at length arose and took
the first train for Augusta and imme-
diately went to his home, where he found
bis wife and little son of four years OF
age both nearly suffocated from coal gas.
1t was long time before they could be
revived. Had he been absent an hour
longer they would doubtless have both
been dead.

The Presidents Message, of which we
give the main points in another place, is
received with very general favor, except
of course those who would find fault in
any event. Even those republican pa

the Presidents denomination, acknowl-
edge its excellence and general common
sense. The financial exhibit is very ia
vorable, and there has not been month
since the present administration came in.

ARTHUR's- LADY's HOME MAGAZINE.
The publishers of arthur" claim for
it the high distinction of being "The
Queen of the Ladies Magazines :" and
taking the December number now before
us as specimen, we will not dispute their
claim. The special charm of the Home
Magazine lies in the excellent quality OF
its reading matter. Speaking of this, the
editors say: While We claim for our
serial stories power and interest UNI l.
vailed by any of our contemporaries. we
hold our magazine to be in advance OF
them all in the moral purpose underly-
ing its conduct. The thousands in whose
homes it has been for so many years a
visitor, can testify to its answering low
atty to all things pure and true and no
ole in human conduct" This claim of
the publishers the press has long since
conceded; and it is gratifying to know
that the people themselves recognize the
claim and give the "Home" wide and
cordial welcome. Now is the time to
send for this Magazine. Terms $500 a
year, with large reduction to clubs and
splendid premiums. Specimen numbers,
10 cents. Address, 7. S. Arthur & Son.

Congress met on Monday. Both Hous-
es were promptly in working order. Sen.
ator Edmunds of this State introduced
bill for civil service reform. Some ofthe
democrats in the House, manifested that
their corns had been trod upon, in the en-.
forcment of the Ku-Klux law in South
Carolina, and wanted to know by what
authority the president was suppressing
that tender organization, and then subsi.
ded. As this delicate society are owning
up, much to the chagrin of their north
ern friends, there are to-day hosts of good
democrats who hope their party are not
now to be required to act as wet nurse te
the Ku-Klux Khan.

The CHILDREN's HoUR.-In their De-
cember number, just received, the pub
fishers of this beautiful magazine say :
"We will not promise to make the HOUR
any better or handsomer next year than
it has been in 1871, for we do not really
know where to improve it. But we will
promise to keep it fully up to its high
reputation as the best and purest, and
most attractive of the children's maya
zines Now is the time for all who wish
to get the very choicest reading for their
little ones, to send for the CHILDREN s
HOUR and secure its visits from the
commencement of the new volume. 1t
is one of the few periodicals that all may
place in the hands of their children and
feel sure that not a line will be found
therein not fraught with a good infiu-
ence. The illustrations in this number
