Summer Made to Order.

Mr.. Babinet is undoubtedly a revolutionary
Frenchman who, having no taste for the real
thing in which his countrymen sometimes en-
gage, proposes to interfere with some of the
matters of nature. He conceives that eter-
nal summer is the one thing especially deslra-
BILE to mankind in general, if not to the Penn
sylvania coal ring. Accordingly, he has con-
ceived bold plan for giving to western Eu-
rope an eternal summer. To do this, he first
proposes to have submarine dixie construct
ed below the last of the Cape de Verde Is
lands, the effect of which will be to concen.
trate the calorifc influence of the Gulf Stream
on the British Islands, France and Spain.
This dixie he tells us will have to be but three
and three-quarters miles in length, and to
build it he has set aside one of the smaller
of the islands abb , named, which he propos-
es to dig up and dump into the sea something
after our Portland style of building the Mar
ginal Way out of the northern end of Mum
Joy hill. Lest this turning of the Gulf Stream
should furnish too much caloric for the coun-
tries named, in the second place, he proposes
to regulate it by employing five or six i'm
mense steamers to capture number of the
huge icebergs that annually float down from
the Polar regions and tow them TO places
where in melting they will be found to best
serve the purpose of supplying the needed
moisture and the cooling that they now fire.
quently afford us. If the season is wet and
cold these icebergs will be towed out of the
way; if on the other hand, it is dry and hot,
they will be placed near these favored spots
and where the damned Gulf Stream will be
and languishing denizens with cool and album
dant showers.
The original plan of M. Babinet has not
yet been tried and of course, it is not known
what effect this infringement upon the rights
of the Gulf Stream may have upon this coun-
try or what damage the appropriation of the
icebergs which in the high seas, are the prop
erty of the world, may infect upon the West
ern Hemisphere, consequently this revolu-
tionary Saudnt should not undertake his ex-
pertinent until some board of arbitration or
congress of the great powers is called to de-
fine the rights of nations in the Gulf Stream
and icebergs.
In the meantime M. Babinet is warned that
the Gulf Stream is exclusively an American
product, and it won't be any safer for him to
go fooling with it than it was for John Bull
to afford the Confederates the means of burn
ing our ships in the late unpleasantness.

ALONG THE PORTLAND & OGDENsBURa.-Our
correspondent on the Portland & Ogdensburg
Railroad writes the following:-A man named
Clough living in a small house near Conway
Corner, N. H., was arrested Saturday for COM
uniting rape on young lady the same morn
ing His examination was not concluded Sat-
urday and will be continued Monday at Conway
Corner
Eland Lowell, boy aged fifteen, was drown
ed Sunday while in bathing below the falls at
Hiram. His body was recovered in about two
hours.
Mr. Hartshorn, conductor on the P. & o. R.
R. captured a rattlesnake by the road side in
Bartlett, N. H., Sunday. He adroitly secured
his snakeship in box with glass top and
brought him to Portland, Monday morning.
He is about two feet long and has three rat
ties, which would make him six years old. He
was great curiosity to the people living there,
as such reptile is scarcely ever seen.

1t would be far better for the Spanish Re-
public if its only difficulty was in its present
inability to crush the Carlists than it now is
with the many complications and disasters
that now threaten it. The existence of pow
erful rebellion, with which it at present seems
unable to cope, is serious affair but no more
than all other nations have met and over
come; but when there is lack of harmony
in the Cabinet, incapacity and want of devo-
ton on the part of leaders, lack of discipline
in the army, and discomfort and even violence
on the part of many of the people, it is to be
feared that the days of the Republic are num-
bered and the old despotism and religious
bigotry will soon be re established.
THANKS to the careful provisions of NUM-
cipal authorities and the better judgment of
their foes, the Orange parades on Saturday
were the cause of no disturbance in any part
of the country. 1t is very doubtful if half of
those who wear the uniform Of the organiza-
ton could tell why they should do it. Hav-
ing gained their point, why cannot these men
as American citizens celebrate the 4th instead
of the 18th of July.

Two MAINE CONGRESSMEN.-IHe NuttOH,
which has come to be political dyspeptic of
the most confirmed and hopeless character,
in speaking of the Bangor Convention, styles
Two of our Maine Congressman as 'better poll
ticians' and in more cheerful vein than usual
continues:
Perhaps it may be taken as the rising of
very small star in the east that Mr.. Hale's or
Mr.. Blaine's convention in Maine did not con-
fine itself wholly to the works of the past and
glories of the future, as is the well-established
custom of political conventions, but did hint at
one piece of work to be done in doing away
with the reckless legislation to which we have
grown accustomed in the last days of the session
These last days of the session have so long been
regarded as the explanation and apology and
justification of whatever is very bad in Con-
gress, that doing away with them must GER
tainly strike the average Congressional mind as
very startling and dangerous innovation. Of
men in Congress from whom the country might
expect effective aid in the way of practical re-
form, Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Hale are examples.
The one, powerful courageous and effective, as
is shown sufficiently by his administration as
Speaker. and his handling of Bntler; the other
young man, and with fair share of deter
mination and ambition. Fifty years ago, with
their present experience, they would have risen
to the rank of intelligent legislators; now, they
have dropped into 1.-THE class of our better poll
ticians." Both, unfortunately, have positions
to maintain within Congress; the one is Speak
er, the other chairman of an important COM
mittee, and neither is free to attack Congress,
and use the power of public opinion toward
forcing unpalatable work upon those procras-
tinating bodies. The result too, of their expe-
rience is unfortunate. the result of their Con-
gressional training being to set a man to solve
the problem of what can be carried through
Congress, and not the problem of general legis-
lation for the future welfare of the country
Nevertheless, no one will be indisposed to hope
that these gentlemen may now be endeavoripg
to turn public attention to one practical re-
form, and, without quarreling with Congress,
are attempting to bring power to bear upon it
that will be the entering wedge for better leg
islative system.

A SCENE AT THE GOODRICH INoUEsT-The
II e

A SCENE AT THE GOODRICH INoUEsr.-The
New York Herald of Sunday, says:
A strange female group was that which sat
at the inquest yesterday in the Goodrich case,
when Lizzie Lloyd King, the woman know as
"Kate Stoddard'' was found by the coroner's
jury to be the murderess of her quondam para
mour. New York, in its busy round of life, is
well used to scenes that epitomize the most
grievous problems of humanity, but it is long
since it has seen so near it picture like that
wherein calm. pale. self-confessed murderess
met the tear-flled gaze of woman-Miss Ada
laide Palm, : who had been the fancee of the
murdered man. Before that woman. widowed
of her love, sat a third female, -Lucette Myers
with cold, quick glancing eyes, who had been
the rival of each of the others in the passions,
not the heart, of the man slain last March. A
fourth woman looked coldly composedly on
the amateur female detective, who gave Lizzie
Lloyd King up to the police. 1t would seem as
though the spirit of female honor had arranged
the tableau in revenge for the wickedn that
a man had wrought.

have no personal grievance against Mr..
Beechers traducer. l deal with him simply
as a common enemy to the peace OF the COM
munity. In these days of evil speaking and
heartless assaults upon the good name OF in
nocent citizens, it is necessary to the general
welfare that reprobation swift, sure and re-
morseless should overtake the man who
seeks to destroy the reputation OF a fellow
being, by unfounded aspersions upon HIM.
We had great deal too much of that sort of
thing during the last Presidential campaign.
1t was overdone so grossly that il recoied
upon its authors. Nevertheless, the practice
has not ceased and lying about political OPP
ponents has become so general, that one does
not know what to believe. But while this
decentralization may weaken the force of
every philippe against actual wrong doing,

none the less an imperative duty to visit con-

toned ''to treat with the civilized Gov
