The election in North Carolina, Vermont
and Maine have subjected the Administration
to prodigious train, and we confidently ex-
pect the October battles to be decided in our
favor. Heretofore, the National Democracy
have done very little, but in PENNSYLVANIA and
Indiana we expect to see them meet the enemy
on every field. The results in those elections
will decide the Presidential contest, and both
the Democrats and Liberals will come to the
front animated by hope and determined to W; n.

Where the Moosatoc>Inaguntic

When a lover, bold and true,

Turned and vanished Hiram Hover;
And, before the wear was over,
Huldah, with tho yarhs she sold,
Bought cape against the cold
Black and thick the furry cape was,
ora stylish cut the cape was,
And the girls in all the town
Euvied Huldah up and down.
Then. at last. one winter morning,
Hiram came without warming;

Huldah, or you've changed your mind

Yet you take the skins for garments;
Since you wear the skunk and mink

"Well," said she, I'VE will not quarrel;

Locomotive Explosion.

At half-past I o'clock this morning
the eastern and central portion of our
city were thrown into state of great
excitement by terrible rumbling
crash. Interest at once centered in the
locality of the depot Of the Utica and
Black River railroad. Here the cause
was plainly TO be seen. All that re-
NAMED OF the engine "Charles Miller"
stood upon the track, directly in front
of the depot. Such portions of the 10.
connective as were not visible had been
distributed all around the neighborhood
for quarter Of mile. The scores of
flues lay exposed to view, and there was
scarcely square foot of the boiler re-
naming in position. The smoke-stack
after trip of 200 feet into mid air.
came down about 80 feet from where it
started, between a couple of freight
cars. One of the heavy driving.wheels
was thrown 10 feet, and the steel con-
nectingrod which held the two driving
wheels was twisted like Irvine.
The windows Of the houses near by
show the force of the conclusion. The
block on the corner of Mill street and
the square bore marks in the shape of
demolished glass, one store losing every
front light. On the north side Of the
Baptist church not a pane Of glass re-
mains, and the sash in many cases is
stripped entirely out. The depot build
ings were badly shattered, fragments of
iron penetrated the roofs of several
houses, and the inmates rushed to the
street in panic. A piece of the boiler,
weighing fully half ton, landed in the
door yard of residence 40 yards from
the scene of the explosion; the bell of
the engine came down in yard some
rods further OFF, The engine is total
wreck. Those who witnessed the ex.
plosion describe the sensation as most
peculiar and bewildering. The air
seemed filled with fragments, large and
small, which traversed the atmosphere
with the rapidity of lightning-and the
wonder that no person was injured in
creases, as we learn where the different
pieces struck, and, in some instances, of
their vast weight Waterto'on ". ~

Great Fire at Yedd0, Japan.

A terrible fire at Yeddo, the principal
city of Japan, and, under the Tycoon
Government, the capital Of that empire
recently destroyed a section OF build.
ings two miles by three, or about six
miles in area. This is larger by halt
than the area burned over by the Chi
cago fire of last October; yet the loss
was doubtless no more than 1.-THE of
that caused by the Chicago fire. In
deed, the contlagration does not appear
to have visited the densely populated
portion of the city, as we are told that
only 10000 people were rendered home
less by the catastrophe. Some of the
attendant circumstances were heart
rending to recount. The extensive
spread of the flames seems to have re.
suited from the same cause as at Chi
cago-a tornado, sufficient in force to
watt frebrands a distance of a mile or
more, there TO kindle new conflagra-
tons. Yeddo has suffered much by
fire, having been devastated by gem
eral contlagration in 1859; yet 1t seems
as if the present disaster were TO be a
source of benefit to the city, since it
has prompted the Government to open
the metropolis to foreign capital and
enterprise, and to see that the burnt
district is rebuilt on much better and
more civilized plan than it was before.

ming in a week.....The story that ten Japan
csc intended assass inating the Mikado is not
believed. The country enjoys profound
peace, reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. The japanese fair is to be opened
soon at Kioto, the former residence of the
Mikado, and hot-bed of the Anti-Foreign
party. Foreigners, on depositing $500 TO
their Consul for good behavior, may visit
here for seventy days. This move is made
to test the foreign element in the country.
If the behavior is troublesome to the Govern
ment, no doubt Iwakura will be ordered to
keep Japan sealed book somewhat longer.
IA dispatch from Rome, dated May l6

Capt. Patty, of the schooner Flirt, from
Martinique, reports the massacre of whole
family OF ten persons named Fougier, in the
French settlement of st. Peters, on that
island. The Fouger family had inherited
six million francs from relatives in France,
and the massacre was committed by Louis

aid of two hired assas sins, accompanying
him from France, in order to obtain posses

his accomplices have been sent to France
for trial.

Amateur TIieatricals.

A London journal iaments the evi.
dences that amateur theatricals have
become epidemic in that country. 1t
says: " Perhaps We should not be far
wrong in assuming that 5000 of these
harmless lunatics are spouting, shout
language of so many estimable authors
ing, raving, giggling, and forgetting the
every week, under the impression that
they are doing themselves much credit,
amusing their friends, and advancing
the drama" The mania is not less
prevalent in this country, and is dis
tributed with alarming impartiality from
metropolis to hamlet. And the symp-
toms are about the same everywhere.
Perhaps there is, on an average, one
person in each company of amateurs
who possesses some real talent, but he
or she is supplemented by lot of peo-
pie who are only useful in showing what
the author could not possibly have
meant, and how no human beings could
possibly deport themselves under the
circumstances that are supposed TO be
represented. How useful part these
exhibitions perform as feeders for the
regular stage is doubtful. Unauestion-
ably they contribute an occasional per.
former who proves a valuable accession
to the profession but they contribute
many more who had better, for their
own sakes and that of the drama.
adopt any other pursuit. Altogether,
the amateurs who fail, even with the
generous and sympathetic audiences
who attend that class of exhibitions,
are rather to be congratulated than
those who succeed.

The Khediye's Harem Burned.

A letter from Cairo says: "The harem
of the new palace at the Abbasiyyah
near Cairo, was burned on Tuesday
night, the 9th of April. Thirty rooms
were consumed, but no lives were lost
The women were all sent off by night
to another palace, and the Viceroy fol-
lowed them early next morning.
The fire broke out at l:30 p. IN.
His Highness is said to be greatly an
noyed by the event. 1t was only a
couple of years ago that the palace at
Er.Ramleh, near Alexandra, was burned
just as it was finished, and there was
a considerable fire in the palace at
Ras ct Tin. Whatever may have been
the cause of those fires, this is said TO
have been occasoned by gas. 1t could
hardly have been caused willfully, seeing
that it commenced in the women's
apartments, to which there could be no
access from without"

Earl Granville's proposition, as telegraphed
by Minister Schenck Whereas, Tho Gov
eminent of her Britannia Majesty has con-

follows, namely: That such indirect claims
as those for national loss, as stated in the
cases presented on the part of the Govern
ment of the United States TO the Tribunal
of Arbitration at Geneva, to have been sus-
tanned by loss in the transfer of the Ameri-
can commercial marine TO the British flag
enhanced payments of insurance a pro-
longation of the war, and the addition of a
large sum to the cost of the war, and the
suppression of the rebellion, firstly, were
not included in the Treaty Of Washington
and secondly, should not be admitted by
particular vessels alleged to have been en-
abled to commit depredations upon the
shipping Of a belligerent by reason of such
want OF diligence in the performance of the
neutral obligation as that which is imputed
by the United States to Great Britain and
whereas, the Government Of her Britannia
Majesty has also declared that the prin-
ciple involved in the second of the conten-
tions, herein set forth, will guide their con-
duct in future and whereas, the President
of the United States, while adhering TO his
contention that said claims were included in
the treaty, adopts for the future principle
contained in the second of said contentious,
so far as to declare that it will hereafter
guide the conduct of the Government of the
United States, and the two countries are,
therefore, agreed in this respect. In consid-
Grafton thereof the President of the United
States, by and with the consent of the Senate
thereof, consents that he will make no claim
on the part of the United States in respect
of indirect losses, as aforesaid, before the
Tribunal Of Arbitration at Geneva.
