The time and attention of the Senate
has been principally taken up with the
ofthc case Ex-senator Cald
well of Kansas on the charge Of bribery
in lis election. His case was peculiar
since it did not appear that he had
paid money for votes, but that he
bought or a rival candidate, giving him
quite a sum Of money to withdraw from
the field, and thus secured his own
election This, he claimed, was a
legitimate way OF proceeding, and did
not constitute bribery, butithe Senate
did not, generally, so regard it and the
pressure upon him was so great that
Caldwell was forced to resign, which
ended the matter, except, perhaps, his
friends will give him public reception
when ho goes home as they did Colfax
aud Cakes Ames, and here is where
we think the people are at fault. If a
man does his duty faithfully and con
saientiously, very little is said, on the
ground. perhaps, that virtue is its own
reward but If a man in public life gets
into a mean scnpe and steals a few
thousands or millions of the public
money, or sells his vote and influence.

This town is the County seat Of Mis-
sissippi Co. and located on the st Louis
Il Iron Mountain Railroad, seventeen
miles above It's terminus at Belmont
opposite Columbus, Ky, and on the
Mississippi river. 1t contains about
1000 inhabitants and is situated in the
midst of a very fertile agricultural re-
gion Corn is the great staple here,
and is raised to the exclusion of nearly
every other product of the earth. By
a little inquiry, l learn that not less
than six hundred thousandIbushels are,
on an average, shipped yearly, from
this station, and that this is hardly one
fourth Of the quantity raised in this

Maine believes in her temperance
laws aud brings forward some stubborn
figures 10 reiute the assertions that
there is more liquor drank now than
there was under license, and that tenn
perance has not been attended by any
decrease of crime. The census, says
the Le,essi1a Jomaai, shows that there
are not one quarter as many liquor
saloons 10 Maine as there are in license
states and not one eighth as much liquor
sold per caput. The Atlorney-General
reports that ninety per cent. of the
criminals are made so by liquor, and
gives the following interesting stats
tics Of the decrease Of crime in the
state growing out OF prohibition and its
enforcement; during the year 1866 the
prison jail and reform school received
2o3 criminals; in 1867 157; in 1868,
III; in 1869, ls9; in 1870, $50 in
1871, lj2, and in 1872 only 100. This
proves that in 1872 crime has shown a
decrease Of SO per cent. from the aver
age Of the last seven years, and is so
per cent less than in 1866. What good
Maine has obtained from the prohibi,
tory laws she must credit to cnlight.

NJ. Edior:
In recent visit to Saratoga Springs
I.learned Of an accident that ought to
serve as a warning to all boys who at
tempt to steal a short ride on the cars
John Scanlon, about fourteen years Of
age, eou ol James 9cauioa, stone
mason, while attempting to jump on the
front platform of the rear car, was
caught and dragged to the Broadway
crossing, where he was thrown under
the wheels and both limbs cut off close
to the hip. No one saw the terrible
accident and it was only known when
a passer by was attracted to the place
by the boys cries On reaching him,
he said, Take me home. / want to
see my father and mother before | die,
He was taken home where he bore the
dressing Of his wounds heroicalIy but
survived only few hours. This is a
horror that thousands Of boys subject
themselves to every day and arc only
avoided by the heartlessness of the
breakman in driving them off aud de-
priving them of a ride that would not
hiuder the train in the least.

servant, however, took occasion to be
near-sighted, and would not find it
until her mistress put her finger down
to touch it.. After the wire edge of
elevation had been worn off, she made
a most excellent wife; and when the
Governor died, in l770 he gave her
his entire estate. Her two sons had
died in infancy before their father.
The widow did not long mourn in
solitude here. Friends came to this
parlor to impart consolation. And
most acceptable was that consolation
which was soon found in the offer of
the hand and heart Of Michael Went
worth, a retired Colonel of the Brit
ish army, who came from England in
1776 They were married and had
one daughter, Martha Wentworth.
In 1889, when Washington came
to Portsmouth, he visited the Went
worth mansion by water, was received
with characteristic hospitality by Col.
Michael Wentworth and lady, and
came TO the town by land. The Col
onel was a high liver, and spent near.
ly all his own and wife's property.
He prided himself on his horseman.
ship. One afternoon at six o'clock,
he called at the house Of Mr.. Jacob
Sheafc, in Portsmouth, bearing the
Compliments Of Madam Hancock,
whom he left well at Boston at eight
that morning, having performed the
whole! journey on horseback. 1t was
a great feat in those days. In 1895
he died suddenly in New York, it is
supposed by suicide. His last words
were--''I have had my cake and ate
it"-reterring to the bankrupt state of
his affairs.
Sir John Wentworth, an English.
man, who was a lawyer in Portsmouth,
in 1900, Married Martha Wentworth.
and they occupied the house at Little
Harbor until 1916, when they went to
Europe. He died in France some
years since, and his wife died in Lon
den in 1851.
