NORTHERN MAINE.-Mr. j. w. Lang,
Secretary of the Brooks Farmers Club,
says that Aroostook county contains much
first-class farming land, and will receive a
large immigration this spring. A colony
has been planted there, of Swedes, by
State authority and expense. State lands
are actually given away to settlers, fifty
cents per acre, paid in work upon roads to
convenience the settler; and farms, with
some improvements, can be procured cheap.
Wheat, corn, oats, rye, potatoes, hay, and
other products are largely produced.
Stoek-raising is leading feature. Orchard
ing yet in embryo. Schools, mills, and
social privileges abound.
The act to promote immigration and the
settlement of the wilderness portion of the
State, passed by the present Legislature,
probably provides for all the expenditures
of money that will be necessary for the
State to make in this direction. The
Swedes are proving themselves industrious,
economical, and enterprising. That they
have true conception of what is needed
to develop the resources of their chosen
homes, is shown by the fact that they are
to erect a steam mill for the manufacture
of lumber.

NOSE MACHINE.

The French beat the world in contri-
vances of one sort and another. Even the
cutest Yankee is thrown into the shade by
French ingenuity. We know that all the
marvellous powders and lotions for making
woman look thousand times sweeter and
prettier than she otherwise would, come
from the inventive genius of the French
man. Whether this is because the French
woman is not, distinctively, as beautiful as
the English or German, we are as yet un-
able to say. Certainly there is no higher
incentive to genius anywhere than that in
spired by the desires and wishes of the OPP
posite sex, and if the French women really
stand in greater need of rare cosmetics
than the rest of the world, it is most po-
tential reason why the demand should be
supplied by Frenchmen.
But the rare novelty to which the atten-
ton of the world is now called, is a "Nose
Machine" or unique little contrivance,
which, applied to the nose, and worn for
few hours each day, will soon make the
most ugly and deformed nasal organ as per-
feet a Grecian nose as was ever set upon
the " human face devine." The work is
quickly done, which is great desidera-
tum, as it is one of those jobs which
"When 'twere DONE 'twere well 'twere done
quickly"
1t costs only ten shillings six pence sterl'
ing to replace the ugliest ''pug" on wo.
mans face by the neatest and nattiest lit.
tie nose out. Those having deformed noses
and desiring to improve their charms in thu
matrimonial market, should at once avail
themselves of the advantages of this new
invention.

THE HON. CHARLES FRANCIS
ADAMS, whose sudden return home and
prompt appearance thereafter in Washing
ton, has led some Of the political wiseacres
to shrewdly guess at the object of his re-
turn, comes, it seems, solely on private
business. He was in Naples when letters
reached him inducing his return, and heard
nothing of the Geneva "Aare-up" until he
reached London. He is now in Washing
ton, and has nothing to lay before the
State Department but such information in
regard to the treaty excitement as he picked
up in London while there. The wiseacres
are again at fault.

RAILROAD CONSULTATIONS.

The question of railroad consolidation"
is again receiving some attention at the
hands of the press, from the organization
of company in Boston TO take under one
control and management all the railroads
Of New Hampshire and Maine, and make
them tributary to Boston as the CONNER
cial center Of New England. This COM
pany proposes to secure capital of SILL
100000 for the purpose of purchasing
the stock of these roads, or at
least the controlling interest in them
run them until the year 1900, and
then transfer them TO the State on the pay
ment of their par value. The question is
one of monopoly, either by the corporation
thus formed or by the State government,
and will revive more or less of the old
hue and cry against irresponsible and
soulless corporations" which we have
been accustomed to hear, at con-
venient intervals, for the last gene
ration or more in our political his
tory. But if corporations have no souls,
they have bodies into which something
like soul may be infused by legislation ;
and so many advantages manifestly accrue
to the travelling public from bringing the
several railroads in State under one
effective supervision and management, thai
it will hardly be objected to by the people
if some equally effective legislation can be
devised by which the roads shall be run
as they should be, in the interest of thos
who grant them their splendid franchises
1t is in the power of each State to fix tn
mileage rates of these roads, bot
for passengers and freight; and if there
virtue enough left IN the people to de
mand the expulsion of all Hobbies an
lobbyists from our State capitols, and max
it State prison offense to approach an
member of a legislative body with a pecu
mary consideration for services rendered
8 we shall have no fears but that railroa
corporations will be as harmlessly ru
t without souls as any others.

1t appears from the report of the United
States Commissioner of Educatian that the
American teacher is to be found in almost
every country on the globe. In China and
Japan educational institutions are presided
over by American educators. The school
system and the civilization Of the Sandwich
Islands are entirely the outgrowth of the
efforts Of our citizens. Oahu College, at

The Constitutional Convention held in
West Virginia, has stricken out the proyi-
sion in the first constitution of that abnor-
nous State, providing for the adjustment,
with Virginia proper, of the State debt as
it stood at the time of ACKNOWLEDGMENT;
leaving its Legislature to provide hereafter
for any settlement or not, as it may choose.
This is taking the financial bull squarely by
the horns, or virtually saying that, if he
comes into their enclosure, he will be thus
pertinently dealt with. We admire brass
in whatever shape that metal may be
moulded, but especially admire it when
handsomely worked up with financial
value to it, such as this proposition of
West Virginia would seem to give.
We have struggled toughly, they would
say, through our brief political existence,
and have got proudly rid of the Old Do
minion, so far as territorial possession is
concerned, and now we will as bravely
throw off our obligations to pay any part
of the public debt contracted by us in COM
mon with her. At all events, we will ac-
knowledge no obligation on our part to pay
any portion of this debt, since it nominally
rests upon another and not upon us.
Well, we are content with its taking this
position in fact, we rather like it. II
promises to open up, by and by, another
inquiry which will go to the bottom o
constitution-making in that so-called State
When this inquiry is once vigorously push
ed, we shall see upon what fiimsy ant
thoroughly unsubstantial foundation all tn
rights and privileges of that neoplastic Stat
rest. What a Republican Congress SHOULD
have done Immediately on the close of tn
war, it may do then-remand its territor,
and government back to the jurisdiction Q
its rightful State sovereignty. This ques
ton is only held in temporary obeyance
