JAS. /. FELLOWS, Esq.--Dear Sir; We
are receiving orders almost daily from the
Outports for your invaluable Syrup of Hypo-
phosphites, and the sale is steadily increas-
ing. l firmly believe it has done more good
than any medicine yet discovered in the cure
of consumption, bronchitis, asthma, whooping
cough, and kindred diseases. 1t is the only
medicine we have which cures these diseases
by strengthening the nervous system; and as
it is also what we call sound chemical prep
aration, predict for it more extended de-
mand than any other remedy in existence.
Yours, very truly,

Hon. Gideon Welles. in the October
number of the Galaxy" regrets that Mr..
Charles F. Adams, in his Memorial Adj
dress on the Life, Character, and Services
of William H. Seward" should have per-
m;tted himself to do injustice to Abraham
Lincoln. Any attempt to canonize Mr..
Seward by detracting from the merits OF
his chief weakens the enconiums bestowed.
A greater error could scarcely be commit

chad to deal with superior intellectual
power" when he came in contact with Mr..
Mr.. Seward. The reverse was the fact.
In mere scholastic requirements "Mr.
Seward, never learned man." may have
had the advantage, though in this respect
there was less difference than is generally
supposed; while sin breadth of philo-
sophical experience and in the force of
moral discipline" the almost self-taught

surmounted difficulties and disadvantages

tentious himself, Mr.. Lincoln was the last
person to wear borrowed honors. He was
not afflicted with the petty jealousy of mar
row minds, nor had he any apprehension
that others would deprive him of just fame.
He gave to Mr.. Seward, as to each of his
council. his generous confidence, and pa
tiently listened if he did not always adopt
or assent to the suggestions that were
made. To those who knew Abraham
Lincoln. or who were at all intimate with
his Administration, the representation that
he was subordinate to any member of his
Cabinet, or that he was deficient in execu-
tive or Administrative ability. is absurd.

A WORD TO THE PORTLAND AID.
TERTISER

TERTISER
We extract the following from the Port
land Advertisers reply TO our article of
Thursday:
''The partisans of Mr.. Hamlin had boosted
of their intention to defeat Mr.. Haynes at the
caucus. What other republicans had an in
terest to defeat him at the polls? The infer
ence is plain aud inevitable, but we are not
left to inference. One of Mr.. Hamlins
spokesman at Augusta has openly boosted of
the success of this operation since the cleo
ton. Another, being asked if there is not
danger that Mr.. Haynes may retaliate with
damaging effect next fall, replied, we have
counted the cost; we are not afraid of him.
Republicans Of the highest standing in Au-
ousta agree in the opinion that Mr.. Haynes
owed his defeat to the desperate revolt of the
Hamlin faction"
This is the usual style of the Advertisers
substantiating its charges. 1t belongs to
the mode of proof known as that coming
from the reliable gentleman" and the Gin
telligent contraband" both of whom dealt
so largely in mung news--during the war.
Pray tell US who was that spokesman of
MIR. Hamlin's at Augusta that made the
open boast" referred to? Condescend to
inform us who was "Another" that had
counted the cost" &c. who are the "re-
publicans of the highest standing in Au-
gusta, that agree in opinion that Mr.
Haynes owes his defeat to the desperate
revolt of the Hamlin faction?"
Among such a cloud of witnesses the
Advertiser surely should be able to give
one name. We have never known the Ad-
vertiser to refuse the free use of names
from any false delicacy. and in this case
unless it produces one witness. it will be
simply cenfessing the utter groundlessness1
of its charge. In very fact the witnesses
are men in buckram, manufactured in the |
editorial rooms of the Advertiser, and
palmed off on the public with cheap i'm
pudence which is but sorry substitute for
candid truth.
In the town of China, which gave a |
large majority for Mr.. Dingley, the repub-
lican candidate for representative, pre-
sumed friend of Mr.. Hamln, was defeated
by considerable vote OF course, &C.
cording to the logic of the Advertiser, the
friends of Gov. Perham conniyed at and
produced the result In simple truth the
result was produced just as was the defeat
OF Mr.. Haynes, by local and personal
causes that had no more to do with the
senatorial question than the survivors of
the Polaris had with the failure of Jay
Cooke.
And we here deliberately repeat that
Mr.. Haynes did not lose single vote by
reason Of his position on the Senatorial
question, or by the efforts or connivance
OF those republicans in Augusta who NAV
rank themselves as the special friends Of
Mr.. Hamlin. OF the local and persona,
causes leading to the untoward result !,
is not necessary to speak here and now
We know them only to deplore them and
to seek to correct them in the future. The
Advertiser is necessarily ignorant of them
altogether, and misrepresents them with
recklessness which we cannot permit to
pass without rebuke.

MOSADNOCK.

Directly opposite this village, rises high
mountain, called Little Monadnock, there be-
ing another Monadnock still higher in south
ern New Hampshire. This eminence is on
the Vermont side, and raises its frowning
front over against Colebrook, overlooking
whatever takes place in the village near its
base. If it has, as the ancients tabled, gen.

into mems hearts and houses, it may be that
he sees many things which would not be pref

said that during the past season one of the
citizens of Colebrook climbed the mountain

noon, bat becoming confused, he wandered
about until the next day before he was found

people from church who had desire

totkeep people from church who had desire
to attend. We heard two sermons from the
pastor, very sensible, practical and impressive
particularly that in the afternoon, from the
text, 'Be we steadfast, unmovable, always
Astounding in the work of the Lord" &c. The
house was not full, but probably this deficien-
cy is not confined to Colebrook. Our party
consisting of several different persuasions,
were much interested in the services. The
Sabbath school was held at noon, and we all
dropped into an adult class instructed by the
pastors wife, and were quite captivated by
her clear headed, intelligent, modest, and
practical teaching. AT the evening prayer
meeting, the vestry was well filled, and the
meeting was carried on with much animation
and interest. 1t was noticeable that several
OF the sisters were quite gifted in offering
prayer, fully as much so as the brethren. We
cannot but think it highly desirable that fe
male gifts and talents should be oftener called
into use in social meetings. The singing in
the church we voted to be better when the
whole congregation joined, than when only
the choir officiated. In the prayer-meeting,
all joined, as a matter Of course, and the
spiritual songs were very inspiring, especial
ly when the ehoruses rang out, such as Hap
Ply day, happy day. when Jesus washed my
sins away" and II am so glad that Jesus
loves me" sung to a tune which may well be
called "sweet music married to immortal
verse"
A public house is not. usually, the most IA
vorable place to spend the Sabbath. Most of
the employees and loafers about the premises
seem to know no difference between one day
and another. There is always more or less
coming and going. And in any large village
there are classes of people who, so far from
regarding the Sabbath, like Gallo "care for
none of these things" But after all, there is
an impressive stiffness pervading the streets !;
the haunts of business are mostly closed; the
hum of travel and trade is in a measure
hushed, and nature seems to pause and invite
the mind to serious thought and contempla-
ton. The sound of the church going bell, the
reverent demeanor of those who obey its sum
mons to the sanctuary, combine with the Sab
bath silence to admonish the most careless
OF their duty to worship their Creator and
obey his commands. May the New England
Sabbath never cease to exert its hallowiug in
fuence in the midst of the strife and tumul,
OF this busy pleasure seeking, money loving
world

Fire Alarm Telegraph.

The New York Graphic thus describes
the fire alarm system in that city. More
than year ago the Board of Polio; Com
missioners instructed MI Weeks, the active
and efficient chief Of the fire alarm bureau
in this city, TO procure striking machine
of this character. 1t is being made, and
will doubtless be placed in operation in this
city in few months:
1t is wonderful how many things the po-
liceman sets in motion when he pulls down
that little spring in fire alarm box. AT
that moment a bell rings in the central
office on Mercer street; an intricate LOOKING
machine. about three feet long and two
feet high. and made up Of wheels and mag.
nets and little hammers, begins to growI
and rumble, certain number is struck on
on a gong, and, at the same time, series
of dashes appear on paper RIBBON, unmls-
takabiy recording the number.
The verdict of the machine is unimpeach-
able. If anything is wrong it sets uP ter
rible racket on a smaller gong that is cal
culated to startle every man in the build
ing until the fault is corrected. As soon as
the first alarm is struck one OF the two
attendants turns around, takes brass but
ton with the number of the alarm marked
on it and with certain notChes cut on the
dred others. This is fitted into place pre-
pared TOR it on another machine, a spring
is touched, another growing and rumbling
of lnnumerable little wheels takes place,
and every steamer-hOrse ON Manhattan
island starts in his stall.
In some cases the electric current is made
to unloOse the horses. The well trained
animals Immediately daIt back out of their
stalls, and, with their harness already on

poll of the steamer. In one minute from
the time the policeman pulls the box" the
steamers can be on their way out of tie
house to the fire.
la the central part of the city five
steamers generally respond to the first
alarm, three to the second and three to the
third Thus, AZ large fire, eleven streams,
usually one inch in diameter, can be
brought to bear in very short time.
They supply as mach water as could be
