The political writer for the November
Atlantic Monthly makes a marked error in
statement of political history which is espec-
tally noticeable in a magazine article, a style
of literature purporting to be more exact in
statement of facts and more deliberate. fair
and precise in tone than daily journal ar
ticle. This writer criticises Horace Greeley
very severely for taking the stump in his own
behalf, as gross error in taste as well as
Judgment, and adds, ''We think that General
Scott is the only modern instance of (presi-
dentiaD candidate soliciting the favor of the
people, and his success was really so small
that it did not establish precedent" Now
everybody who has the smallest smatterlng of
political information remembers that Stephen
A. Douglas made general speech making
tour when he was presidential candidate in
1860 and that Horatio Seymour was put upon
the stump in 1868 as dernier resort between
the October and November elections. The
blunder is really objectionable in the face of
two so'recent and conspicuous examples; but
this lofty essayist, who broods for month
upon each of his literary eggs, is so sublimey
disdainful of all parties and all measures and
talks so severely of the ''minor evil'' business
that he cannot be expected to trouble himself
about such prosaic things as facts Viewed
from his heights of purity and statesman
ship everything in actual life is poor and
shabby, and hrgh-toned philosophers must
cen make the best of it with a sigh over the
weakness and littleness of humanity.

In no part of Continental Europe has rail-
wayism made greater strides, of late, than in
Russia. In 1s4S the railway system of that
country consisted of only two lines of an ag-
gregate length of 452 miles. In 1858 the de-
velopment of that system began to form de-
cided feature in the policy of Gar Alexander
II. The total length open for traffic at the
close OF 1858 was $50 miles, By 1866 this had
increased to 2,451 miles, while at present the
total length actually open amounts to 7,746
miles, and there is now in construction an
extent of 1904 miles more, at least third
OF which will be in working condition in the
course OF 1872, making total of nearly
10000 miles.

The FIRST COTTON FAcToRIEs.-Thc
first Cotton Factory in the United States was
started in Beverly, Mass, in 1873 and con-
tinued in operation about twelve years. Hon.
Joshua Herrick of Alfred, Whose father had
an interest in the factory remembers it dis
tinctly and tells some interesting reminis-
cences relating to its operations, machinery,
ETC., which contrasts widely with that in use
at the present day.
The first Cotton Factory put in operation
in this State then District of Maine( was at
Brunswick in 1910 under the auspices of the
late Gov. William King of Bath, and other
capitalists of this State and Boston. Colonel
Herrick was subsequently connected with
this factory as its agent, and probably there
are but few, if any, now living who are in
possession of so many facts relating to the
early history of the manufacture of cotton in
this country as he. .er - Cor.

CALEB CUSHING ON THE ARBITRATIoN.-Ca-
leb Gushing, one of the Geneva Board of Arbi-
tration, who arrived in New York Wednesday,
said in an interview with a Herald reporter
wednesday night, that the settlement had been
a great success and one of which we should
feel proud. Fifteen millions of dollars is
large sum, but it is not so much the money
value OF the award as the points settled by the
controversy which gave us such a great tri-
unph. He had not been to England but
throughoutsFrance and where he had travelled,
the general opinion expressed was that the
OHlted States had achieved signal victory and
one which she deserved to achieve The Brit
ish claims now under consideration by the mix
ed commission made by English subjects, will
altogether but little exceed one million Of dol
lars, leaving us very handsome margin.
Mr. Gushing added that there was no debat-
ing or argument during the session of the board
Everything was written and presented to the
board in printed form, making in all twenty
hve volumes. A pleasant social feeling pre-
vailed among the members, but he (Cushing)
never engaged in dryer work q

The Impeachment trial of Judge Barnard
concluded Monday. He was found guilty,
removed from office, and disqualified from
holding office In the future. The vote for
removal was unanimous, and for disqua i
tication, 50 yeas to 2 nays. the Phlladcl-
phia Ledger's New York correspondent
describes the feeling in that city on this
action as one of relief and quiet rejoicing,
and says "Tho expectation was that the
verdict would he such as not TO deprive
the accused Of eligibility to any place to
which his friends might nominate hlm, but
the Judgment of the Court has spoiled all
that, aud 50 whatever may be the fate of
the other "ring" magistrates who have
still to be tried There is an end, al last. to
Barnard. With Barnard turned out of
office, ,CardozO resigned, and McCunn dead,
the Judicial pillars of once powerful
combination are thoroughly destroyed, and
the punishment which has overtaken them.
let us hope, will be warning to all cor
rupt aud unjust Judges for all time TO
come. Barnard's personal friends were
unprepared for so sweeping IA verdict, and,
thpngh never douhting that he would be
removed, they had confidently made M
their minds 10 compensate him by running
him for office this fall, but the "disquali.
hoatlon" clause puts an exlinguisher on
al arrangements OF that kind"

Our Water Supplv.

MeSsrs. Editors As you remarked in a
recent paper, 1t was even so, we did trem-
BILE at the thought of fire while our city
was without water. If fire had broken
out, our beautiful city would now in all
probability have been In ashes. Yes, but
you say ii did not break out; but we should
feel very grateful for such an escape, for
il was dreadful position to be held In for
twelve or even four hours. If such a
irightful predicament can he prevented
from repetition by the expenditure Of hum
drcds of thousands, we would be amply
justified in the expenditure.
But how to best accomplish it is the
great question. If our city grows as fast
for the next twenty years as il has for the
last ten years. the whole of the Brandy
wine Creek will not be sufficient for our
supply. And should we have very dry
season, rs we do have and are liable to
have any season, the supply will he wholly
inadequate, and We must be continually
short OF That most necessary element under
our present arrangement, aud add to our
present difficulty a long drought and our
supply will not he even sufficient for
health, to say nothing Of the inconvenience
ana great loss TO our manufactures and
the dreadful peris of fire.
In consideration of these things would
II not he the best wisdom to at once uban-
don the seemingly unwise plan of con-
structlng a new basin in hollow, as is
proposed, which will not still supply our
city highlands with water. And 80 at once
up the Delaware river and build a basin
large enough to supply all our wants and
render our future supply absolutely GER
tain
II will bc objected that we will have
tide water from that source well it seems
our chcfpump now depends on tide water
for a supply, and with all due respect,
think settled tide water would be superior
to The admixture Of filth from the inhabi-
tants and factories which we are now
forced to drink.

Fair city by the water side,

As ocean ebbs and flows away,

Children are playing on the sand
The viewless fingers of the air

Wavelets are playing with the land.
Maidens are dancing In the halls.
Aud there is revelry by night,
And diamonds flashing In the light
That flashes from the spacious walls.
And music's sound IL In mine ear;
Hut from its notes turn away
To hear Gods deep-voiced organ play
An anthem endless M the sphere.
| love to hear the wide waves roll.
No discord mars their harmnnies
fOr natures hand IL On the keys:
blllOwa OF music hathc my soul.
Lift me beyond discordant cfeeds,
SHOW me the truth, a. broad aud free,
As the stars know IT, and the sea
A truth Of living, loving deeds.
OF deeds, alas remorseless seai
saw you snatch n life away.
And give back naught hut sia ahtless ciay
Yet weep no tear Of sympathy.
The stars shone out that night ON hieb
And following Ia the mOonhram's track
The tidal waves came rolling back
u! cruel sea! Ol fearless ski
Nay ye sre wiser than our tears
That now for loss of life ahl breath,

While VIZ, we only know our fears.
Nature is harmony not strife,
why should she grievc for human pain !
Or weep for loss she knows Is gnin5

a Selkirk on this crowded isle
with only you to clasp my hand.
You'll sport with me and not hetray

In search twhere sand and water meetl
For Jems the tides have thrown away.
All! sportive wave. anu sunshine sweet +!
How Yer humAn-like you are,

And there are blistera on my feet.
Not less I'll love you, sunny beach.
Though you repay my love with pain,

But heed the lesson that you teach.
