counted on a victory there, or at least
large reduction of last years admins
tration majority, and thereon based its
hopes of party encouragement and
valuable reinforcement of recruits. In
the absence of victory and in the SUBJ
stitution of large increase for the ex-
pected large reduction of last years ma
iority, the cheerful organ now propounds
its magnificent theory of four and half
per cent. for the encouragement of its
party and as stimulus to the recruiting
service.
But even the dismal attempt at COM
fort, small as that comfort would be, is
as vain and shadowy as the exploded
predictions of tidal waves and the like.
If, instead of taking the Republican ma
jority of four years ago as the basis of
its calculation, the Tribune would adopt
the much fairer test of taking the aver
age majority of the last five years, it
would find that the late election, instead
of showing Democratic gain of four
and a half per cent. upon the Republi-
can vote, shows a Democratic loss of
Just that amount, and, therefore. utterly
upsets its theory of carrying the closely
contested States for Greeley. Whatever
is done in any of these States to build
up the Tammany and Ku-Klux combin-
alton must be done without breath Of
inspiration from Maine, and the arith-
metic man might as we'll lay aside his
slate and pencil and 60 to work with
what heart he may.-Bostoe Globe.

A THRIVING CITY.

To the American economist there is
no more remarkable and interesting
phase of national growth than that
shown by our manufacturing interests.
Especially in New England have ham,
lets become villages, and villages be-
come cities, within the present genera
ton. Thirty years ago there was great
propriety in Lowell claiming to be dis
tinctly the City of Spindles; but she
must waive that claim now in consider
alton of the great mills at Lawrence,
Nashua and Mancfe ester, and the more
than successful rivalry of Fall River,
which has outstripped them all. Nor
is Fall Rivers growth limited by the
present time: the same elements of sue
cess that have made the city what it is,
will make it far greater than it is. Even
within twelve month, unless some I'M
expected commercial revulsion shall
transpire, there will be more cotton
spindles in operation at Fall River than
in any other city in the world.
The mills of Fall River were at first
run by water-power, which was supposed
to be more than sufficient for the utmost
possibilities of the business of the place !;
but long since the water-power was all
taken up, and now, while the old mills
are still operated as before, when water
is plenty, they have more or less steam
power at their command to meet the ex-
igencies of drought All the new mills
are run entirely by steam, the engines
being of immense power and tho-mos
perfect workmanship. The mills, being
thus furnished with power, are not nee
essarily crowded together along canal
banks and river sides, as in Lowell and
other places, but are scattered here and
there about the city; especially are they
located in proximity to the railroad and
wharves, thereby gaining facilities in
the transportation of COAL cotton, and
manufactured goods. Another great adj
vantage secured is, more ample space
for the dwellings of operatives, matter
of far too great Importance to be over
looked.
AS in England, so with US, the ques-
ton for providing for factory operatives
is becoming one of the vital ones of the
day. 1t shares in Importance the con-
sideration of morals and of sanitary laws,
as well as Of civil rights, and the time
has fully past for setting it aside by the
unjust decision that operatives are mere
ly part of the machinery of the mill
In Fall River, operatives have Jared {
thousand times better than in almost any
of the English manufacturing towns, bu
have still been insuficiently supplied
with tenement Accommodations. Unde,
the present municipal government, sew
eral important improvements are in prog
ress, and there is general disposition
both on the part of the mill proprietor
and the authorities to render exact jus
tice to the handwriting mill-hands
who, having had a part in making tn
city what it is, should now be sharer
in its advantages and in its prosperity

FOUR AND A HALF PER CENT,

The present hope of success in elect
ing Mr.. Greeley as President is no long
er ''tidal wave or a "great moral
earthquake for the late State elections
have dissipated all these wild dreams
and driven the dreamers to their slate
and pencil. Since the result in Maine
the New York Tribune has gone into
very close calculation as to how much
the Republican majority in the year
1868, and arrives at the comforting con-
clusion that the Greeleyites have gained
about four and half per cent. of the
entire Republican vote of that State. =
This, then, is the substitute for the .ti-
dial wave" which was to carry Greeley
into power; a modest four and a half
per cent. gain upon the Republican forces.
But this very gentle and mannerly earth
quake, this measured and limited upris-
ing, the Philosopher thinks will do; for
he says in his Tribune that even SO
scanty gain as that will give him Penn
sylvania, Indiana, Alabama, California,
land these added to the solid Democrat
&c column, will carry US triumphantly
through"
This sort of whistling to keep one's
courage up is very amusing when the
four and a half per cent. theory is con-
trasted with the pompous announcements
of assured victory which were put forth
by the Tribune at the time of the Bal
timore nomination, and with the subse
quent prophecies of uprisings, floods
and earthquakes. Even up to the time
of the Maine election the Tribune woult
have scorned such a meagre meas
ure of success as four and half De
centage of gain ON vote of four year
ago. 1t was but a few days before tn
! recent contest in Maine that the Tribune

ing at which there was a good attend
ance. The street parade, or outside
show, headed by band of music, and
followed by twelve wagon loads of
growing animals, two poney and one
zebra team; the rear being brought up
by five sprightly little elephants and a
monstrous chariot. drawn by twelve
horses, was as good as could be expected
upon rainy day. The carriages were
well ornamented with paintings of For
eign and Home scenery, the work Of a
skillful artist, who, apparently has had
faint glimpses from the wilds of Asia,
the hot sands of Africa, and also the
Garden of Eden sometime before the
discovery of the fig leaf. The inside
show was quite good. Some called it
the best they had ever seen, while others
thought it just ''fair to middling.' The
horses were fine ones, and the animals,
though not large collection, were fat
as hogs, and looked good enough-some
of them-to eat fellow up. Taking
all in all, the show was as good as is
often seen travelling through the country,
and all connected were gentlemanly and
civil sort of fellows.
DIED.-In Barton, August "a, Amos
Hunt, aged 81 years, 5 months.
Brother Hunt was born in Kingston,
N. H., from which place his parents
moved with him when he was quite
young to this state. When he had
reached manhood he moved to Haverhill,
Mass, where he lived until sixteen years
ago, when he came to this village. Since
that time he has been known to the peo-
pie here only to be most highly respect
ed. Early in life he professed faith in
God, and for a number of years has been
an esteemed member of the M. E. church
in this place He was one of strong
trust in Jesus, which at times gave him
the deepest peace. His voice in prayer
and exortation in our meetings savored
of a sincerity and earnestness which was
encouraging to US all. At the COM
mencement of this year he was deemed a
most suitable person for steward and
was unanimously elected such of our
church. But when we thought not his
voice was hushed in death, but though
unexpected, he was ready. He told me
in the early part of his illness that ne
was ready and willing Shortly before
he died he sang 1--WE are Coming Blessed
Jesus" His wife then said to him, you
are almost home, are you not? Yes, said
he, almost home. An aged brother in
the church asked him if he had any
doubts about his acceptance with God
He answered with delight and utmost
confidence, No! At the last, with his
hands folded as if tired, he fell asleeE
without struggle or groan. He
leaves wife who mourns deeply hel
loss. A large circle of relatives and
friends feel deeply their bereavement
Our church realizes that one worthy ha:
fallen from her ranks and yet our hearts
grow light with hope as we seem to heal
Jesus say, "well done, thou good anc
faithful servant"
