Letter from Augusta.


While On lnt W III pain, ms HlDCtdSlI7 nave II tp
pened to light on anybody's corns, he sincerely
regrets it-but it seems he has been and gone
and done il. The apology offered Is this If
it be, Az the Portland Advertiser said, The
scoundre shoots pos ned arrows" it Is only
because the arrows necessarily become poison
ed by contact with the objects aimed al and
hit. Radical, and consequently sanity targets,
are SO numerous that you can't help hitting one
If YOU tire over your left shoulder with both
eyes shut.
Legislative wheels are beginning to move
ana the time for adjournment is already being
discussed. A notion for final Adjournment
on the 10Th of February, found among others
an opponent III the person Of Peter Charles
Keegan, who comes all the way from NADIA
waska and everywhere else in that region
where he ha, a chance 70 count the votes and
sign the returns. 4 suggestion from the infant
from Island Falls, who weighs the trihug
amount OF three hundred and seventy pounds,
land not much Of year tor pounds either that
his young friend from Mad4wa.ka ought TO be
addressed by the Speaker rs the member from
the st. Johns River, and also \ few remarks
from Mr. Woodbury. 81 Houlton, to the effect
that long session would prevent The said
Peter Charles from getting home soon enough
10 >uperintend the spring elections, and thereby
endanger his chances for u return " u lawmak-
er caused some merriment. Mr.. keegan re-
ponded and very gracefully accepted the stu
alton. When people pick up as fiat the man
who has swamped King Dickey," they are apt
to take in bigger washing than they can hang
out
ON the question of taking from the files the Pc
tiion presented TO thu Legislature Of 1871 for the
repeal Of the school laws relating to County ST.
perv-orS, Mr. Carleton said ~ am deternlu-
Ell that the voice of the people shall never be
squat ont By the cloud Of oppression." Good
for Mr.. Carleton When clouds squat out the
voice of the people,, somebody ought to inter
tere whether Catholic meeting houses or school
houses taxed or not.
