entire time of the Tigress in the neighbor-
hood OF Lttlcton Island was only five
hours. The Esquimaux were not sufii-
GENTLY Intercepted. When first seen from
the deck of the Tigress. these people on
shore were in the uniform of sailors of the
United States Navy. but they subsequently
changed their clothes, and redonned the
Esquimaux apparel. an action that looks
very suspicious. The Esquimaux. more
over. had but little provisions, their food
being nearly all consumed, neither had
they any boats. Under these circum-
stances, they asked. through the medi I'M
of Dusky Joe, to be taken OH board the
Tigress. Commander Greer declined to
do this. There was certainly a lack of
humanity in this refusal.

The New Party Movement.

The democratic leaders in Hancock and
emitting the usual democratic county nom

ment with all elements of disafection
The result is that the new party is worse
defeated than the democratic party. ha>
usually been in in of years. The republi-
cans carried Hancock in 1870 by 397 ma
jority, and in 1871 by 33i majority. This
year they carry it by Az majority. The
republicans carried Washington in 1870 by
lS9 majority, and in ISL by PIG majority.
This year they carry it by go majority.
About one-third of the democrats yo.ed tor
Williams, giving him 423 votes, to 1927 for
Titcomb. and 2349 for Dingley.
The effect of a movement to form a new
party in Hancock and Washington. seems
TO have been to cause more democrats TO
Join the republicans than the republicans
lost from any disaffection. In Aroostook
aud Somerset. the coalition movement was
somewhat stronger; but this resulted. not
from any desire on the part of the people
to renounce republican principles, but from
local quarrel in the former county over
custom house appointment and in the
latter county over the shre-town question.
Setting aside the disturbing effect Of mere
" local and transitory difficulties over
questions that they do not at all affect re-
publican principles. the election docs not
show the least desire on the part of the
people. to change their party relations.
Indeed. the democracy did best where they
fought singlehauled. And this comes
from the very good reason that no issue Of
principal has arisen. or i. likely for some
time to arise, that would incline men to
change their party association Lewiston

Sunday was bright and cool and all the
churches were re-opened, after the long
summer vacation. II was pleasant to see
the old familiar faces >though very brown
in their accustomed places, and the bright
bouquet, of flowers upon the desks and
affairs. The sermons delivered were ably
written and tile topics discussed were those
suited to the occasion. The Rev. W. H. H.
Murray occupied the Park street church
pulpit and spoke as usual to crowded

profound attention by very Intelligent and

LECTURE NOTES.
Everything bids fair for a lively season
in the lecture field. Managers are adver-
Using such lists as never before, and in
looking over the names which are publish
ed by the American Literary Bureau, we
find they can furnish committees with bril-
limit courses of lectures. Gen. Banks has
at last decided to devote the winter to the
platform. so his fine voice will be heard
among the orators of the season. Bret
Harte has new lecture on 'Some Bad
People" Miss Kate Stanton will lecture on
the Abolition of Poverty OF course
everybody will want to hear how that Can
be abolished.
Prof. Geo. W. Blish has acquired fine
reputation this summer at the seaside and
mountain hotels as a reader of great elocu-
tionary power. He excels in the humor-
Gus and dialectic. The lecture season in
Boston will open the first of October.
DANBURY NEWS.
1t is perfectly wonderful what reputa-
ton one will soon gain by the possession
and use of wit. The editor of this small
paper was year ago, scarcely known
beyond the now famous town of Danbury.
Indeed, there were but few who ever knew
where Danbury was situated. This paper
is now sold by nearly every news dealer in
this city. Its funny squibs and hilarious
sketches please and amuse all lovers of
humor everywhere, and the fame of the
Danbury Ne,es Man has extended far and
wide.
r POLITICS.
Everything and everybody has finally
settled down into quiet and the old style

ventiOn and Washburn's nomination; but

of anything else than Butler and Wash
