either the South German Confederation or the
North German States. This little country is in
the enviable condition of being dehfess. The
ace OF its monarch is thirty-two. He has pos
sessions in the Austrian dominions much larger
than his own kingdom, and derives from these O
very large income.
A geographical mystery has been cleared up,
and an illusion of commerce dissipated, by the
explorations of some French travellers, whose
narrative has just been published. NJ. Louis
de Carne started in the summer of 1866 from
Saigon in French Cochin China, to track the
great river of Cambodia, the Mekong to its
sources. The hope of the French colonial office
was that this large stream, unknown like the
Saween, the MeinAm, and the Tonquin, might
offer an available water road through Laos and
Gunan to the back of China, and give to the
Cochin China delta which is held bv France, the
commerce of a second Nile or GangeS. This
hope has failed; the Mekong, which the French
man traced at the cost of terrible hardships and
great sacrifice of brave and valuable life, is an
"impaSsable river, broken at least thrice by
furious cataracts, and having q current against
which nothing could be navigated. The dis
coyery, purchased at the cost OF existence by
the leader of the expedition, and by NJ. de
Carne, whose story is pOsthumOusly publIshed
takes away half the value of Cochin China.
very characteristic anecdote is related OF
Charles XIV, late king of Sweden. As is
known, he treated all rules of etiquette with the
utmost levity, and was never happier than
when he could pass himself off as some other
person. His favorte place of residence was the
castle called Ulnksdale, situated in the environs
of Stockholm. Here be passed his summers,
and not ufrequently part of the winter One
day, alone, and dressed in a simple summer
costume, he took a walk in hts park, which was
always open to visitors. Here he encountered a
family OF strangers who, not recognizing the
king, walked up to him and asked if it were
permitted to visit tie castle. "Certainly," said
the king, "be so good as to follow me-" And
he conducted them from hall to hall, explaining
everything in a manner to do credit to the most
yOluble cicer0ne. The strangers were Intelligent
and pleased the king, who pleased them in his
turn. At the moment of separation they begged
him to tell them in what manner they could
show their gratitude. 81 like photographs very
much" said the king. "Let us change pOr-
traits" They agreed to this, and in the eve
ning, when the strangers returned 10 their hotel,
they found large Photographic portrait await
ing them, at II G foot OF which was written the
words: From Charles XIV, king of Sweden"

Good!

Now that the 'hurly burly's done" and
''the battle lost and won,' we have breath
ing spell to look over the results, one of the
most cheering of which is the transformation
of several Republicans into Democrats. The
Republican party Of Maine will be purified
aud strengthened by the departure of just
about score of men who have brought dis
credit upon it by regarding it as mere in
strdment of their personal ambition. Office
getting has been to them the only real, tangi-
bic, valuable result Of political controversy.
They have done all they could to debase the
party of progress and justice by their cease
less clamor for "recognition'-their insensi-
bility to all considerations of right when their
personal interests were at stake. Let them
go! The air will be purer in the Republican
camp when they are gone.
But perhaps they imagine all the men they
have misled in the present canvass will con-
tinue following them. Here they err. The
most of the associates of these twenty odd
ofice-seekers went into the Greeley move
ment honestly supposing that they were pro-
noting the cause OF reform. And this is what
they have had a chance to see:
They have seen the most open and shame
less political trickery ever attempted in this
State. Papers with hundreds OF forged sig
natures have been circulated and published by
those who well knew that they were not gen
Hne. Conventions have been held at which
hardly 1.-THE of those in attendance belong
ed to the faction ostensbly holding them.
They have seen the leaders of one faction
of the reform party make an open bargain
with the leaders of the other faction, by the
terms of which the former sold themselves to
the latter, the consideration being offices on
the one side and votes on the other
They have seen the ''reform" party make a
systematic use of not only of the most dis
equitable tricks hitherto known in party
warfare, but of new and strange ones invent
ed for the occasion.
They have seen the worst men in the Re-
publican party fwrite down list of their names,
you who doubt raise the cry of reform
abandon their flag and plunge into political
excuses new and strange even for them.
1t is with profound Indifference then, that
the Liberal masses-if there are enough of
them to constitute ''mass"-will receive
this dictum of the Star: "The Liberals have
made an alliance theyexpsct to keep and their
former ways will know them no more-so it
is decreed.''
The farewell which the Republican party
bids to these dessrters IS one of the most cheer
full exercises ever INDUCED in by political hui
final Goodbye. We have seen that we can
get on famously without any such comrades

THE TORNADO OF SUNDAY AT GoRHAM. N.
H.-A friend who was at Gorham, N. Fl n,
Sunday describes the tornado which PASSED
over that region about 3 o'clock in the after
noon az one of the most awful commissions of
nature he ever witnessed. The cloud eame nm
over the Pilot range almost as black as mid
night, rendering the town so dark that liqhts
were necessary in the houses. The storm
burst suddenly and with terrific violence. The
wind blew hurricane and the rain was 40
dense as to shut out the view of objects forty
feet Off Immense hail-stones accompanied the
storm, and driven by the wind they would strike
some projection and dash away two hundred
feet. One was driven through his chamber
window with such force that it it left clean
roundihole the size of itself in the pane of glass:
just like bullet discharged from pistol He
picked it up and it measured two and quar-
ter inches in diameter; an irregular sphere of
transparentic ice Mr.. Larry, at whose house he wa,
stopping picked up six after the storm, so large
that it required both hands to hold them. A
gentleman picked up one that weighed three
quarters of pound. They pounded on the
roof like so many heavy hammers and came
down like intermittent discharges of musketry.
Forty panes of glass were broken in Lary's
house before the inmates could close the blinds.
AT Peabody Cottage every pane of glass expos
ed to the storm was broken. new house.
just covered and shingled, was blown down, the
hail-stones breaking through the roof. A horse
that was driven under shed at Peabody Cot
tage for shelter was so frightened at the noise
of the storm that the driver was obliged to cut
part of the harness to get the animal out of the
shafts to prevent the carriage from being kick
ed to pieces. The corn in some of the fields
was cut off as clean as if done with a scythe.
The track of the tornado was only about quar-
ter of mile wide. The Peabody Cottage and
Lary's were in its pat h; then it swept over to-
ward Mount Hayes and saved the village of
Gorham from its disastrous visitation.
