IT seems mistake to call Republican gov
eminent in France an experiment. Surely
government which in three years has raised a
nation from the lowest depths of depression,
has paid a thousand million dollars trioute,
has suppressed a gigantic revolt in its capital
city, has restored its finances to fourishing
condition, has recorganized shattered and de-
moralzed army, has promoted manufactures,
and has stimulated trade at home and COM
merce abroad, deserves to be regarded as the
greatest success Of the century,-a success
which no monarchy or empire or olgar-
chy in any stage of the worlds history ever
achieved. Were one DESTROYS to point out
the most conspicuous and shining example of
the advantages of a Republican form of gov
eminent he could not do better than turn to
France at the present moment. The stability
of the Republic may by called in question,
but its success admits Of no denial.

The Railroads and the Legislature

The members of the next Legislature may
as well understand fully that very strong
railroad pressure will be brought to bear upon
them by the agents and appliances of the
conflicting interests. The veteran lobbyists,
who have managed for one side or the other
for several years, say in an off-hand and care
less way, that there will not be much excite
ment--that it will be the quietest session for
years. and that they think it doubtful if they
go there; AID yet their operations have al
ready be 4un-began long ago in fact-as is
clearly perceptible to one in a condition to
watch their movements. They have secured
headquarters" in the most eligible places in
Augusta, they are taking the ordinary steps
TO secure the good will of the individual mem
bers and are making the usual preparations
for vigorous winters campaign.
A prominent director of one of the antag-
onistic roadS--a man who does not talk at
random too-said a few days ago that he had
no doubt but that each of the roads would
put out an hundred thousand dollars at Au-
.gusta this winter, and spoke of it as bust
ness transaction just as legitimate as.the pur-
chase of coal or the building of bridge.
Two hundred thousand dollars is a good deal
of money to spend Oh Maine Legislature to
help its judgment on one question, however
slight it might seem to a Pennsylvania or
New York Legislature. Of this sum very
little, of course, is assumed to go to the leg
islatols-it is merely to be employed in sur
rounding them with proper influences and
to afford them means of information. I'm
cormon civil of the Railroads, to put them
selves to so large expense in the dissemina-
ton of useful knowledge! Present appear
ances indicate that the new Legislature is
generally made up of representatives of the
people; there is apparently a much smaller
proportion, than some former years have
shown, of representatives of the railroads
labelled men-and it may be that this expen-
diture of money viii prove vastly more ad
vantageous to the lobbyists than to the roads
"a question interesting to the stockholders.
Meanwhile members of the legislature would
do well to keep clear of any obligations or
commitments in the matter, which are likely
to be incurred almost imperceptibly, for the
lobbyists--the professors of skilled talent as
New Workers call them-are willy folk.

Mr. Jay Gould has been interviewed and
expresses himself very effusively and ALTER
atvely in regard to the purifying process of
the panic" This great and good man has
profound faith in an advance of prices. He
says they are now too low, and that in good
dividend paying stocks very large advance
is necessary to bring them up to their actual
worth. In his opinion there are compare
lively few stocks now quoted except thote of
real value. It is quite safe to infer from
these remarks that Mr.. Gould holds a large
amount of stocks winch he bought very low
and is anxious to sell very high. However
little dependence we may place upon the dis
interestedness OF his advice. it is safe to rely
upon his sagacity in stock operations.

THE SEARCH.
DIoGENEs, the searcb's not DER;
An honest man is wanted, more
Than when thy trembling footsteps sought,
Among the gloomy shades, for aught
That would slight resemblance bear,
To him, who is honorable and fair,
In all his dealings with mankind,
And whom you sought III vain to find.
Now, bring your lantern down this way,
unless you come in open day.
And possibly, one may be found,
Who, "on goose is always sound"
And sells a WALNUT CHAMBER SET,
As low as Painted Pine, "you ,et;"
At MERRIAM's Store, near woodman Block,
Where you will find splendid Stock.

THE very latest instance of the proverbial
American ingenuity is afforded by convict
at Sing Sing who established distilery in
the quarry grounds, where from a mash OF
bread, corn, tomatoes, apples, potatoes and
carrots, be produced an alcoholic beverage
which he doled OUT to fellow convicts and
keepers for triding pecuniary consideration.
By his honest industry he realized six humid
red dollars before the still was discovered.
Here is another proof that some of the quick
est brains in the country are to be found in
the craniums of the criminal class.

An instance of what must be regarded as
very sharp practice has come to light in con-
nection with the German evacuation of Yer
dun. After the last coin due from France to
Germany had been paid, and the last forth
fed place but one evacuated, an agent ar
rived at Verdun with a dispatch from the
War Department stating that for time after
the close of the war the French postal SER
vice was disorganiZed and the German field
post was forced to supply its place. For this
service one million francs were demanded,
and the men from over the Rhine refused to
wend their way homeward until the sum was
paid in hard coin. The French desired the
particulars Of the account, but were CURLY
told the German post Office had made a pre-
else calculation, and that there could be no
discussion or Interior settlement. The de-
mand was telegraphed to the authorities at
the Capital, and they fearing disturbanceii the
German occupation continued, gave orders to
pay the money. Pocketing the 100000, the
Germans marched out of Verdun and babe
farewell to French soil.
CHARLES Bradlaugh and Wilkie Collins,
the one a sensationalist in politics and the
other ia literature met for the first time last
Saturday night at the Lotus Club in New
York. There was wild outburst of enthu-
siasm and prolonged cheers, say the reports,
on the part ofthose who witnessed the greet
ing. Why they cheered it is difficult to sur
mise, for if one were to search the world over
about the most unlikely spectacle he would
select as fitting subject to awaken enthu-
siasm would be the meeting of two English
men who were strangers to each other. Mr..
Bradlaugh gave as the reason why it was
necessary for him to travel three thousand
miles to meet his fellow of the tight little Isle
the fact OF the broad class distinctions of
English society. An American Club had
given him the first opportunity Of his life to
meet countryman whom he was glad to
know and to say word in praise of.
