FOREIGN NEWS.

Paris, S. The speech of Duke de Audiffert
in the national assembly on Saturday, wherein
he pointed out the abuses practced on the
army by contractors, has created great
sensation in government circles.

around Paris is announced for the 10Th in
slant.
The municipal council of Paris has re-
solved to rebuild the Hotel de Vile DESTROYED
by the Communists. The new structure will
cost 6, 1900 francs.
The legitimist journals here insist that the
battle of Aroquieta was not decisive of the
fate of the Carlist rising.
Don Carlos writes that the prospects were
excellent and that he could announce good
news but refraned from prudential motives.
The Carlist organs deny that Roda or any
other leader has returned to France and as
sert that the insurrectionary forces are mas
tiers over all Biscay and important points in
QuipuZercoa, and hold possession of the rail-
way between Miranda and Iran and that the
bands under CASTILLO and Allegro are active
in the Caledonia provinces and others are
lowering on the borders of Temel and Tar
ragsna.
The latest news received by the friends of
Don Carlos is that he has from 1000 to 5000
men in Biscoy, well armed and well supplied
with provisions and munitions. Elio COM

The Provincial correspondence reports

London, s. The Echo contains a critical
article upon the performances of the Atlanta
boat crew of New York, who practice daily
on the Thames. The writer says that their
! performances are exceedingly good; that
their action is fine, and that their time and
feathering are simply perfect. They are
nevertheless somewhat efficient in dash and
power, betray disposition to hang at the
finish of the stroke, and don't pick out the
blades clearly and promptly. Practice will,
however, rectify these faults.
The London boatmen all regard the New

Arrangements for the state Fair.

The Trustees of the State Agricultural
Society continued in session during the day
yesterday, but adjourned at o'clock in the
afternoon. Among the details of business
arranged during the day we may mention the
following: The Trustees decided upon an
entrance fee of one dollar for each entry
made for exhibition at the grounds, on all
premiums under ten dollars; above that ten
per cent. of the first premium in each class
in which entries are made, this rule how
ever does not apply to trotting horses. Forthis
department the sum of 50 500 is to be offered
in premiums, 5000 of which is to be given as
sweepstake purse open to the world, the re-
mainder to be given in other classes of pre-
miums as is usual at State Fair. A 500
sleigh has been decided as the prize for the
best gentleman's driving horse, open to all
horses that have not trotted in public for a
compensation,-spee alone is not to govern
the award, but other desirable qualities of a
gentleman's horse are to be taken into con-
sideration. 1t is probable that liberal purse
for green horses, or horses that have never
trotted in public will be arranged.
Grand Gold Medals, for the six classes of
Thoroughbred Cattle, have also been decided
upon, as sweepstake premiums; competition
open to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and the
Canadas. This it is believed will draw into
our State Exhibition the best class of Provin-
cial breeders, and while it will render our
fairs more attractive, will also be of direct
advantage in other directions.
Additional encouragement than heretofore
is also given to the different branches of man
ufacturing industry in our state, and gold
medals are to be offered for the best display
of cotton and wooden goods manufactured in
the state within the present ye;r.

w WASHINGTON, :.
Iiorsr.

The question of free tea and coffee gave
Use to a lengthy debate. which was partici-
pated in by Messrs. Kelley, Beck, Wood
Cox, Kerr, Randall, Banks, Morgan. Potter
and Farnsworth, at the close of which the
duties On tea and coffe g were struck from the
bill.
Mr.. Richie moved to increase the duty On
bltuminous coal and shale from ffty cents to
one dollar.
Mr.. Foster moved 10 strike out the whole
paragraph.
After lengthy discus sion Mr.. Richie
amendment was rejected.
Mr.. McGrew moved to make the rate :,
cents ton, which was agreed to.
Mr. Fosters motion was rejected.
On motion of Mr.. Dawes a new item was
inserted as follows: On culn of coal 10 per
cent. al valorem.
Mr.. Dill moved to amend the item of salt
by making the duty twelve instead OF eight
cents per pound.
The salt question gave rise to another long
discussion, which was not closed when the
committee at 80 rose, and the House took
recess until 30
The evening session will be for business Of
the military committee.
SENATE
The amnesty bill was taken up foe discus
sion.
MIR. Morton moved to amend so as 70 pro-
vide that before any person shall be entitled
to the benefit of the act he shall swear that
he is not and has not been at any time within
two years preceding the passage of the act, a
member OF any branch of the Ku Klux Klan.
Mr.. Hill moved to amend the bill SO as to
grant universal amnesty.
Mr.. Sherman advocated the adoption OF
Mr.. Sumner $ bill as a substitute for the am
nesty bill, for the purpose of giving the
House an opportunity for a fair vote on the
question of civil rights, and said that he be-
lIeved If that question was out of the way the
general amnesty bill would pass the Senate by
three tourhs vote. He thought, however,
that there was very little chance of the am
nesty bill passing the Senate till the House
should have an opportunity to vote on the
civil rights bill.
Mr.. Trumbull said that when he heard Mr.
Boreman, one of the earliest and most zeal
Gus advocates of prescription, call up and ad-
vocate the bill this morning, he hailed it as a
sign that the time had come at last when all
political disabilities were to be removed, but
like its predecessors was to be tempered with
and killed by indirecton.
Mr.. Sherman said that both the civil rights
bill and the amnesty bill were necessary in
order to produce peace and harmony through
out the country.
Mr.. Stewart expressed the opinion that a
| policy Of exclusion was unwise and that it
had operated as great obstacle to the sue
cess OF reconstruction. He therefore IA
vored the passage of an amnesty bill and OPP
posed Mr.. Summers amendment.
| Mr.. Foreman said there were some things
| in the civil rights bill that he favored but he
certainly would not vote to substitute it for
| the amnesty bill.
Mr.. Morton withdrew his amendment.
An agreement was made that the general
debate on the bill and amendments termin ate
at 3 o'clock to morrow and that the bill shall
be sci out.

Sojourners at Boothbay during the warm
months must have vivid recollections of the
odor Of porgie chum that has come to them
with the sea breezes, from the factory of Mr..
Maddocks. The Bath Times says that this
annoyance is to be removed by a new plan
which the proprietor propose to adopt in pre-
pairing the fish. If the plan doesn't work the
citizens of the place are bound to have "the
cuss removed" as they are fearful that the

It seems by the following extract from the
Lynn Reporter, that the Massachusetts boys
are getting ready to return with compound
interest the courtesies received last summer
in Bangor and Augusta:
Our readers will remember that the Woold-
ridge Cadets, Company /, of this city, took
an excursion to the Pine Tree State last sum-
mer, and were received by the Capital Guards
of Augusta, and the Jameson Guards af Ban
gor, in superb manner, everything possible
being done to render the stay of the Ly an
boys agreeable. The Cadets came home
thoroughly convinced that their Maine COM
rades were hard to beat, but they were firmly
resolved to do their level best to keep up
their end Of hospitality, should an opportuni-
ty ever occur in which to reciprocate the
many favors they had received. 1t is the de-
sign of the two Maine companies to visit
Lynn some time during the approaching sum-
mer, and we are informed the members Of
Company l" have already commenced max
ing preparations for giving them a reception
which shall be worthy of their guests. That
there are enough ways to enjoy visit to our
pleasant city none can deny, and that the
Cadets are just the boys to show up Lynn to
its best advantage and provide pleasant en-
tertainment for the sons of the Dirigo State
is equally true. We will not say chat will
be done in the way ola reception, as the ''cat
under the meal" has not yet made her appear
ance, but when she does come out it is safe to
say she will make a creditable show. At any
rate, if our Maine friends do not get Justice
done them for the tricks they served our
boys in blue, we shall be much disappointed.

The following story of sorrow and absence
of mind is told as a fact by the Portland Ad-

and the bereaved mother was convused with
grief over the little casket and sobbing, laid

The fourth State Sunday School Convention
in Maine occurs at Dexter, May 22d and Esd.
1t is expected that this session will be in adj
vance in interest of any previously held.
Rev Smith Baker, formerly of this State will

of the exercises. An interesting programme
is projected, and reduction of railroad fare.
The Sunday schools are earnestly invited
to send delegates. The Dexter people will do
their best at entertainment, and on the whole
we think the live Sunday School men and
women of the State cannot well afford TO fore
go the advantages of attending.

YEAS AND NEIGHs.-If horses could make
themselves understood in human language,
they would signify by universal Yea"
their assent to the statement that the Mus
TANG LINrMEST is the best remedy extant for
all these external ailments, and by most
emphatic "Neigh," show their displeasure at
every attempt to use any other preparation in
its stead. Ever since its introduction at ST.
Louis, at the close of the Mexican War, in
ls49, it has proved a signal blessing to horse
and man-curing, with absolute certainty and
wonderful despatch, such equine diseases as
SPAWN, ringbone, poll evil, scratches, hoof-
ale, &C., and relieving and finally removing
the painful affections which attack the mus
Giles, sinews and exte rnal glands of human be-
ings. 1t is a.fact beyond contradiction that
for all injuries or complaints of man or quad
rupid to which an external remedy is appl-
cable, the MUSTANG LIsIMEST is preferable to
