We would again remind our readers OF the
grand Cary concert to be given at Granite

There are three good reasons why there should
be crowded house-to help swell the library

A young man named Ellis was yesterday
afternoon swept over the Kennebec dam in
boat lie was crossing the river just above
the dam, and was carried by the wind so far
down stream that he could not turn his boat
back, and so made the terrific plunge. He
was lost from sight for several minutes, and

came to the surface, clinging to his boat,

was rescued by relief boat sent out from the
schooner Katie Mitchell, lying at the wharf
near the foot of Market square. He jumped
from the boat and appeared as risky as a cat,
his clothing dampened slightly, but his spirits
buoyant.s

TO the characters of the per-
sons whom the President did
not personally know, but who
were pressed upon him for ap-
pointment by some of the very
gentlemen who now urge
against him the character of
some appointments that he
has made. We shall he very
much mistaken II the same
gentlemen do not receive the
Presidents project nf reform
of the civil service with a smile
of utter incredibly, not be-
cause they think the scheme
Objectionable, but because
they do not believe that he
will put it into execution. -
When he does that, it will be
remarkable if the Presidents
action, however sincere and
honorable, is not derided as in
tentionally inefficient. Indeed
those who have declared that
they think the President unfit

those who wish his renonina-
tlon will not be a very large
number, But II the atlemp'
fails, they will be the entire
Convention. For an effort to
discredit the Chief Magistrate
Of this country does not end
with its success or its failure.
If it succeeds, he is utterly
disgraced. If it fails, those
who attempt it lose the respect
of honorable men. We must
not be understood as charging
malignant motives upon those
who sincerity move for investi-
gations into alleged u1uses.-
But the character Of the Presi ..
dent belongs to the country,
and when that character is tain
ed the country is sullied.-
Therefore the investigation Of
the charges which have been
made must be thorough and
unsparing. the general order
system must be and will be
completely exposed. If abuses
are discovered, and the blame
can be justly laid upon the
President, there will be reason
TO denounce him. The noble
warfare upon his cigars and
his horses will then end, and
We may all well be aghast at
real reasons of opposition.

The Campaign OF SANDER.
1t is unfortunate that there
should have been an Impress

that any Republican Senators
wished to hide corruption or

methods and expenses OF the
Government. There is no such
disposition in the party There
was none such upon the part
of the Senators who opposed
Mr.. ,Trumbull's resolution
That there is none upon the
part Of the President is shown
by the fact that he has put
himself at the head of The
movement for civil service re-
form. 1t Is, however, the poll

THE AGILE POISON.

NJ. P. Bolestra has communicated
to the French Academy some Obser-
vatiOns on ague poison. He esays that
in examining marsh water he always
finds, in proportion to its degree Of
putrefaetiOn, a granular mierOphyte
somewhat resembling in form the
Cactus PerUUidnIs. 1t is always ac-
eOmpanied bya considerable quantity
of small spores 1-1000 of a millimeter
in diameter, greenish-yellow and
transparent, and also sporangia or
vesieles containing spores from 2-l00
to 2-300 of a millimeter in diameter,
and of very characteristic form. This
plant grows on the surface of the
water; when young, it is rainbOw-Iike
in tints, and looks like spots of OIL
At low temperature of cellars and in
water containing no vegetation, it de-
volOpes slowly. but in contact with
air and exposed to solar rays in the
presence of deeompOsing vegetation, it
grows fast, disengaging small gas
bubbles. A few drops Of arseniOus
acid, sulphate of soda, or, still better,
neutral sulphate of quinine, stops its
vegetation at the surface Of the water,
the spores become thin and transpa-
rent, and the spOrangia alter so that
they would not be recognized. These
changes may be seen under the mi
crOscope. NJ. BOlestra states that
these spores can be found in marsh
air. He caught agues twice during
his researches-OIee after having been
exposed to air from water in fermen-
tatiOn covered with fresh alg9 in full
vegetation, mixed with an extFaOrdi-
nary quantity of spores. He thinks
these spores constitute ague- poison.

SAGACITY OF A MARE
Virginia City Mountanian,

! Virginia City Mountanian, :
A remarkable instance of the sa-
gacity lis it not reason p of a horse
has come to our notice, Mr.. John
| Fletcher, Norwegian, owns an unbrO-
ken cayuse mare, which runs in q
pasture adjoining his house. The
mare, which il very wild, has young
colt at her side. A few nights since,
after Mr.. Fletcher had retired, he was
aroused by the mare coming to the
window of his house, and by paving,
neighing, and in every way possible
trying to get his attention. This con-
tInuiug for some time, he got up and
went out and drove her away, and re-
turned again to bed but she immedi-
ately returned, and if possible increas-
ed her demonstrations he again
went out, when the mare came up TO
him and rubbed her nose against him,
although always before she had been
very shy of allowing any one to come
within reach Of her, then ran on a
few yards before him continuing her
neighing; then as he did not follow
her, she returned to him rubbing
against him in the most demon
strative manner. He attempted to
drive her off, struck her with stick,
and followed her a few yards to
freighten her. away. As soon, how
ever, as he returned toward the house
she returned and tried in every way
to prevent hln from doing so. He
then remarked that her colt was not
with her, fact he had not noticed
before, it being quite dark. Il occur
red to him then TO follow her, which
be did. Soon as she saw he was do
ing so she ran off before him, stopping
every few yards, turning around to
see that he was still following, then
again running on, keeping up her call
ing, until she reached u distant part
of the field, where she stopped ut an
old prospect hole" On coming up
with her she again commenced rub
bing against him, and drew his atten-
ton to the hole, where he soon dis
covered the colt. 1t appears il had
slipped into the pit and was unable to
get out, and the mare had taken this
method TO obtain assistance. Being
unable to get it out alone, Mr.. Fletch
er went for some of his neighbOrs,
and with them returned While they
were taking the little fellow out the
mare manifested the nOst'interse de-
light, and seemed almost beside her
self with joy; aud afterward, when
the men had got il out Ofthe hole, she
came up to Mr.. +. and placing her
nose on his shoulder gave every sign
of gratitude that a human mother
might under similar circumstances
Who will say that a horse does not
reason?

A srATE RuLED BY KONEN.

Among the Holland possessions
there is a remarkable little State
which, in its constitution and the
| customs of its inhabitants, suFpasses
the boldest dreams OF American
emancipation ladies. Upon the is
land OF Java, between the cities of
Batavia and Samarang, lies the little
kingdom of Bantam. Although trib-
utary to Holland, it is an independ-
ant State, politically without import
ance, yet happy, rich, and since time
immemOrial governed and defended
by women. The sovereign is indeed a
man, but all the rest of the govern
ment belongs to the fair sex. The
King is entirely dependent upon his
state council, composed of three
women. The highest authorities, all
State officers, court funetiOnaries,
military commanders, and soldiers
are, without exception, Of the female
sex. The men are agrieulturists and
merchants The bOdy-guard of the
King is formed of the female cite.
These amazOns ride in the masculine
style, wearing sharp steel points in
stead of spurs. They carry pointed
lance, which swing very gracefully,
and also a musket, which is dischsrg-
ed at full gallop. The throne is IN
heritable by the eldest son, and in
case the King dies without issue a
hundred elected amazOns assemble,
in order to choose a successor from
among their own sons. The chosen
one is then proclaimed lawful king.
The capital city of this little State
lies in one of the most picturesques
parts of the island, in a fruitful plain,
and is defended by two well-kept fort
.resses.-FFODl "Ars american Less
