The nIain,. EI.ction.

Maine votes to-day for Governor and other
State officers, for members Of Congress spd a
State Legislature. No sne, of course, expects
anything else than the success of the Repabl-
cans, but great degree OF interest is felt in the
result in that it is looked to for the development
of the Liberal Republican strength in the state
The more sanguine Of the dissfected estimate
the poll OF that wing Of the party at 1000, but
we opine that the returns will show a much
smaller degree OF strength.
The canvass has been very active on both
sides. Political meetings have been OF daily oc-
currence. which have infused an interest and
enthusiasm in both parties which will be likely
to bring out the full vote OF the State. The Re
publican majority, last year, on the Governors s
vote, was lO,63l. This year the same candidates
are running Governor Sidney Perham. Repub-
lcan, and Chas. p Kimball, Liberal Democrat.
Hon. James G. Blaine, Speaker Of the House, is
a candidate for reelection in the Portland Dis
trict of Maine. That State has five Republican
members in the present Congress.

Thoughtful and observant men examine the

view to applying practical test to the question

meDts rapidly and proftably developed under
the beneficial aid Of the general Government,

seven hundred and twenty millions since the
close OF the war, twelve millions OF public debt
paid off during the same period, the national
credit now established upon a firm basis in the
money markets Of the world, and public securi.

examination into the state of the material inter

TIE TABLED CoMET.-We have reason to
know that many weak people have been
alarmed, and many still weaker people made
positively ill, by an announcement which has
appeared in almost all the newspapers. to the
effect that Professor Plantamour, of Geneva,
has discovered o comet of immense size, which
say, with our planet on the 18th of August
next. We fear that there is no foundation
whatever for the rumor. In the present state
of science nothing could be more acceptable
and the nearer it comes to us the better, for the
the whole genus hish mp to this Ere;tIs
not too much to suppose that the laymen in
these matters imagine that discovery would be
too dearly bought by the ruin of our planet.
Kepler, who was wont to say that there are as
many comets in the sky as fishes in the ocean,
has had his opinion endorsed in later times by
Arago, who has estimated the number of those
bodies which traverse the solar system as H.
that comets are very harmless bodies, or we
should have suffered from them long before
this, even if we do not admit that the earth is as
old rs biologists would make it. But this is
their number which have withal put on q very
portentous appearance are merely the celestial
equivalent of our terrestrial "wind-bags"-
brought down to their proper level they would
have shrunk into very small dimensions in
deed. But there is more comfort STILL The
comet Of 1910 positively got so near to Jupiter
that it got entangled among his moons, the
diameter of the smallest of which is only some
5000 miles; but the moons pursued their course
as if nothing had happened, while the comet
was so discomfted by the encounter that it
returned by another road e., automatically
While, last of all, in our correspondence this
week, will be found one fact the more in favor
of the idea that, in 1861, we actually did pass
through a comet. We have q suggestion for
those weak people who are still alarmed by
these celestial portents, and steadily refuse to
acquaint themselves with the most elementary
work on astronomy, which would convince
them how groundless their fears are. In India,
during the last eclipse, the priests reaped mag
nificent harvests from the offerings of the
faithful. In England, possibly, it would be
considered incorrect to make such offerings to
the priest; but let them still be made-to the
Royal Astronomical Society. In this way the
English Philstihe would approach nearer the
standard of his less-civilized brother; science
would be benefited, and, doubtless the omen
would be averted-at all events they always
have beep.-Nafure.

BRooMs AND SwEEPING.-If brooms are
wet in boiling suds once week, they will
become very tough, will not cut the carpet,
last much longer, and always sweep like a
new broom. A very dusty carpet may be
cleansed by setting pail of cold water out
by the door wet the broom in it, knock it
to get out all the drops, sweep yard or
so, then wash the broom again as before,
and sweep again, being careful to shake ali
the drops off the broom, and not sweep far
at a time. The water may need to be
changed once or twice if the carpet ia very
dusty. Snow sprinkled over q carpet and
swept off before it has time to melt and
dissolve is also nice for renovating soiled
carpet. MOistened Indian meal is used
with good effect by some housekeepers.

LET JUSTICE DE DoNE.-The eternal
principles of Justice ought to be indicated
at whatever cost, and il the vindication is
made by due process of law it generally
costs fully as much as it comes to. Yates
City, in Illinois, is engaged in prosecuting
a man for a tax of two dollars which he de-
clares he has paid. He beat the city in the
suit the first time, and the case was ap-
pealed. A few days ago it was tried on ap-
peal. There were Eve attorneys employed,
the jury heard evidence for three days,
and then wraugled over the matter for
twenty -four hours on empty stomachs, and
finally disagreed, standing six 20 ak. The
costs now amount to several hundred dol
lara, and there is to be yet another trial.

SALARIES OF FRENCH GENERALS. - A
Paris letter writer says:
1t may interest you to know how the
higher grades in the French army are paid.
The figures are often spoken of as enor-
nous, and are as follows, taken from the
budget: Marshal MacMahon, commander
in chief of the army of-Nersailles, received
10000 francs a year (S14 ,000); each of the
Inarshals not holding a command, 10000
francs ($6000); Gen. d'Admrault, Governor
of Paris, $4,000 francs ($I0OOO); Generals
francs each (S7000); Gen. Bourbaki, COM
mander of the army of Lyons, 81. 200 francs,
and each of the generals of divisions, who
are members of a committee, 10000 francs
($4140).
