The Canned Corn Trade.

My attention has often been attracted to grea
four horse teams, many OF them coming int,
town laden with neat looking boxes that seem
ed to make heavy load for the cattle, so in
| CURED one day of driver, "What have yot
there, my friend?' Canned corn" 'Whert
| does it come from?' "From John Winslow
Jones' factory in Falmouth, near Pride,
bridge" And so L resolved that would &C
some fine morning and see it.
took an old friend into my''tJump Seat
one charming day, recently, and set out for the
'Corn Factory" We did not follow the direct
route, but wandered around through many cir
cuitous roads that were familiar to us many
years ago, and enjoyed every rod of our drive
in noticing the great improvement everywhere
to be seen in the farms, the fences, the barns
and the houses We remembered well, in the
old rum times, when everything was pool,
mean and.shabby along the roads we followed;
the people shabbier than the houses they lived
IN; shingles off the roofs in numerous patches,
e'.ihs III ram and snow; clapboDrds loose, clat-
'e',ns III ehe wind, many of them hanging by
single nail at one end: the windows yariegat-
ed with many squares of shipgle instead of
glass; some of the broken lights stonn.d With
old hats or old coats; boards off the barns tho
doors hanging by one hinge-often no HING. at
all; the fences down in msny places; the uo-
men screaming tor the dog because the hogs
were in the garden and the cattle in the corn
in those old rum times; those good old rum
times; the men hanging around the country
grog shop, in those old times. But we found
all this changed. The houses are nicely paint
ed, and many of the barns; implanted houses
are the exception, and wherever they are seen

Political Notes.

The Louisville Courier says Grant is a
dead letter in Kentucky. Dead letters, says
the Toledo Blade, are always sent to Wash
ington. ....... .....g
The New York Tribune tells the Liberals"
that their present policy is "great blunder."
Of course it is; Why don't you.tell them some
news? s .,..-
The Albany Journal says: "New York
will cast her vote for Grant by majority as
overwhelming as was ever recorded for any
Presidential candidate in the State.
The Greeley managers held q ratification
was large attendance. Among the speak
ers was Gen. Banks, who spoke of the exer-
else of military despotism in the Vermont
and Maine elections! i
Portland and Scarborough are indebted to
the laborers on the Boston & Maine Railroad
for good quota of Democratic votes. One
man whom the selectmen of that town would
not allow to vote there because he had no
on some name.
Four Democratic repeaters in Biddeford
have been arrested for their ''liberaI' services
Monday.
A prominent Saco Democrat got enough
of the coalition Monday and says he wilLdo
nothing for Mr.. Greeley in November. The
woods are full of this kind of Democrats.
The intelligence from Colorado indie ates
that DR.. Chaffee, the Republican candidate
for Congress. is elected by at least 1900 ma
jority. When are the Greeleyites going to
commence to carry State ?

The Fifth District.

All of the Congressional districts far ex-
ceeded the expectations of most Republicans
last Monday: but the result in the Fifth must
have surprised even the most sanguine OF
Mr.. Hale's supporters. 1t had been believed
by all but the deluded Piketes that Mr.. Hale
would secure his majority of 1870, but few
really expected more than that. Imagine the
surprise of both Democrats and Republicans
when they see the doubtful Fifth rolling up a
majority that vies with those usually given
by the Penobscot and Kennebec districts.-
To be sure, Mr.. Greeley's organ says Mr..
Hale squeezed in" but we are willing to
accord the banner to those who so CALAMITY
rolled up 5000 majority, if that is squeezing
in.
The fact is Mr.. Pike, when nominated, ex-
pected, beyond question, to be elected. Two
years ago he made up his mind to again be a
Congressman. There are few men more am
bilious than Mr.. Pike; but when ambition
failed to inspire him, his malicious hate, his
most prominent characteristic, goaded him to
work with desperation. ..
1t is not worth while to go over the tortu-
Gus path which has led Mr.. Pike to his
political precipice. He forced himself upon
the Democratic party. The little band of ex-
Office holders that surrounded him he mistook
for a movement of the people and he actually
left the Zebra conventions at Belfast, belev-
ing that his ell ction was certain. He made
himself believe that the Republicans of the
Fifth District would follow him into the
camp of the Democracy. Mr.. Pike count
ed without his host. They had rallied about
his standard when he was the approved Re
publican leader; but now they were too intel
ligent, too patriotic to turn their backs upon
principle to crafty Mr. Pixies inordinate ha-
tired of Mr.. Hale. Consequently hundreds of
men who in the past have been warm partiz-
ans of Mr.. Pike went into the contest against
him with redoubled determination, and to
scores and hundreds Of these sturdy Republi-
cans is the brilliant and even marvellous vic
tory due. Mr.. Pixies Republican support was
pititul, while the vote shows that the Demo
Gratis failed to give him cordial support, just
as these same men, in more marked degree,
will fail to support Horace Greeley in No
vember. All honor to the Republicans of the
doubtful Fifth!
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1872-09-14
The HectiOn.

The returns from the back towns continue
to show grasifying Republican gains. Gov.
Perham's majority will be over rather than
under 16,500. The aggregate majority for
Congressman is somewhat larger. Mr.. Bur
leishs majority is nearly 2200, Frye's 1000,
Blaine's $500, Hersey's 5000 and Hale's 5000.
The Democrats and Liberals will have but
twenty-four members in the House OF Repre-
sentatives and possibly one Senator from
Somerset, owing to the Norridgewock defec-
ton. 1t is quite probable that three of the
Republican candidates in that county are de-
feated on the same account. 1t is reported
that Madawaska gives 470 Democratic major
ity, but the Republicans of Aroostook reach
that bsnighted region with nearly 900 major
ity, so that the county is safe.

A Rio JANEIRo letter tells Olga man in that
city who lately tried, but unsuccessfully, to
commit suicide by driving a longish nail into
the top of his head with the lid of a cask. The
nail was conscientiously buried up to the head
in his scull, yet the doctors say he will recover
and be as good man as ever. The case has
caused much excitement in medical circles,
but the only reason for the failure of the sui
eide that the doctors can assign is that the man
is German, and that Germans are proverbial-
iy "hard-headed" But the reason limps, for
IL rather seems to have been, not the want of
so1tness of skull, but the want of brains, that
saved the man.

A SrRoEE OF LIGHTNING MADE TO oRpER-
A remarkable case of lightning stroke occurred
of late in the province of Rio Grande de Sui,
Brazil Some men were jollifying in hotel

The True Road to Reform.

II ia true that hundreds who voted the
Republican ticket on Monday did SO as a
choice between two evils. They voted with
a party that is undeniably feeling the cor
rupted influence of a protracted tenure of
power and of uniform success for long.se-
ries of years, only to defeat aparty that is in
finitely more corrupt and from which infinite
ly more is to be dreaded And it would not
be at all surprising if the party which is now
assured of four years more OF supremacy
should, at the end of that time, find itself III
hopeless minority, unless it makes use OF
its new lease of power to put Its pest men III

And the best way to effect these reforms is
