LORD LYTToN, whose death is announced by
cable, will be chiefly remembered as the novel;
ist Bulwer. He was born of distinguished par
ents. in Nav, 1905, and began authorship at
the rather juvenile age of six years. He grad
uated at Cambridge in 1876, since which time,
until within few years, he has been most
prolific writer Down to 1857 he had published
no less than forty-eight volumes. Since that
date he has issued several additional works.
His first great novel was 'Pelham." first given
to the world in 1927, which was followed by
the Disowned, "Devereux," "Paul Clifford"
Eugene Aram, The Last Days of Pompeii,'
and after long interval ''The Cations" my
Novel, and "What will he Do with it?'' Some
OF his plays have been among the most success
tul In the history of the modern English drama,
the best being the sLady of Lyons" 'Riche-
: lieu" and Money The most recent of these
plays, 1.-THE Rightful HER, is a reminiscencs
of his earlier unsuccessful play, ''The Sea Cap
tain" In 1881 he entered Parliament as a
liberal, and during his earlier political career
he was decided radical. Losing his seat in
1871, he did not re-appear in Parliament until
1852, when he took q seat on the conservative
side. In 1858, he was colonial secretary in the
Derby administration, but on the fall of that
| ministry in June, 1859, he retired from Office
forever. He was made baronet ON the acces.
sion of Queen Victoria, and was elected to the
peerage during the Derby administration in
1866. Lord Lytton's family relations were I'M
fortunate, and he parted from his wife, who
was highly cultivated Irish lady of a passion
ate temper, in 1881 after union of four year
Afterwards she published two novels in which
Lord Lytton was made the dark character

The Woods Circular.

The presentation of the name of Hon.
Noah Woods of Bangor, as candidate for
the Governorship of Maine by several of his
fellow townsmen, in circular which we pub
lished in OR Geographic columns on Satur-
day, naturally attracts a considerable degree
of attention and comment. OF the twenty
six gentlemen whose names are attached TO
the circular, considerable proportion are
well known and highly respectable citizens,
and their manifesto is entitled to respectful
consideration. Without discussing the taste
and propriety of an attempt to forestall pubhc
opinion on so important subject In SUCH 90
unusual manner-which is certainly open "
serious criticism-we call in questioh WV
merit of the gentleman who is thus preSon'
ed to the State as suitable caiuiu'''N
highest place in its gilt
Mr. Woods is undoubtedly a Hal "a high
thereafter distinguished ability and great IA
,,;l;.ritv with men and things. He is very
uro,l Known in the State, and enjoys very
enviable reputation for his many admirable
Qualities. While all this is readily conceded
on all hands, the prevailing sentiment in this
part OF the State is clear that his connection
with the European & North American Rail-
road is sufficient in itself to render it highly
improper and impoltic 10 make him Cover
nor. The State is in dispute with the corpor-
alton about matters involving a large and i'm
portant interest, and Mr.. Woods long and in-
innate relations with the road should inca
pacitate him from assuming control of affairs
which must be urged in opposition to his
long time views and interests. However i'm
partial he might try to be-and his integrity
is beyond qUestion-it would be simply i'm
1 possible for him or any one else, under the
circumstances, to avoid the influence of ac-
customed associations and habits of thought.
The E. & N. A. Railroad Company may
possibly be right in their controversy with the
State, but we ought MOTTO concede everything
in advance by putting our case into the hands
of one of the foremost men of the opposition.

IHE NORMAL SCHOOLS of the State have
gone about their work so quietly and success
fully that their Importance in our education
al system has been quite overlooked. The
State has already received scores of good
teachers from both the Pennington and
Castine schools, but this fact is among the
least important of the results, for each Of
these teachers going into the country with
improved methods Of teaching has impaired
the results of his study to many others who
will soon be or already are teachers. We

THE NEW COINAGE BILL.


Under the new coinage act, which the Sen
ate passed Friday and returned to the House
with several amendments, the new silver dol
lars of the United States will be precise
equivalent in weight and fineness to the
French five-franc piece, and exactly inter-
changeable with the English shilling. Hereaf-
ter, in addition to the eagle, there will be in.
scribed on all silver coins their weight and
fineEess, one Of the main objects of the
change and bill being to facilitate information
al coinage. Senator Sherman made an effort
to have the eagle entirely omitted from all sill
yer coins in future, but Mr.. Casserly opposed
it, and was sustained by two majority in the
Senate. For the convenience of the Pacific
coast States trading with China and eastern
countries, the coinage of trade. dollars weigh

may be recoined in s.andaed coins on the paw

Safety of Passenger Travel.

Last S turday, in speaking of the bill in
troduced into the Senate by Senator Butler of
York, providing for the better safety of pas
senger railway travel, the Argus hoped that
the bill is not designed to legislate into favor
any particular patent, and that the committee
will give parties chance to be heard. Our
neighbor could no, have been in doubt had
he read the bill. 1t provides that all rail way
passenger trains shall be provided with the
Miller platform end operated by the West;ng-
haus' air brake, or their equivalents, and pro-
vides that any doubt arising about ''equiva-
lents' shall be settled by the Commissioners.
In introducing the bill the Senator also NOV
ed the that the bill be printed, that all
might become familiar with its provisions,
and he has not yet called up the bill now on
the docket of the Railroad Committee
We trust that the object sought to be at
tanned, viz. The abolishing by law of the use
of the present platform on cars, called, we
believe, the Prown platform, will be secuted.
The Miller platform has been adopted by every
first class road in Massachuse- is, and is con-
sdered by all railroad men as an absolute pre-
ventive against the telescoping of cars in
cases of collision. Now,,if there is any other
platform better than this, lett us have that; if
there is another equally good, let our railroads
choose between them; but at any rate let us
forbid the use of the platform now in COM
mon use
