To the Polls.

tits the duty of every Republican not only
to go to the polls Monday himself but to see
that his Republican neighbor does not forget
that there is an election this year and stay at
home Generally Speaking the party nomi-
nations are worthy OF support. Ii there is
now and then man who is not, we are the
last to advise our party friends to give them
their support.
In relation to Hon. NELSON DINGLEY,
Jts. our candidate for Governor, there need
not be shadow of doubt respecting his emf
nent fitness for the position. Mr.. Dingley is
a man of positive opinions, thorough convic-
tons, wide information and unquestioned in
tegrity As one of the leading journalists of
the State, he ever labored to elevate public
opinion, to extend and enlarge the means of
public education, and to inspire Maine people
with the idea that their native State is worthy
of them. In political matters, he has warmly
advocated the principles of the party to
which he has always been attached, but has
always been fee to criticise unworthy men
and schemes of his own organization. He is
attached to no ring and is in no sense trad
ing politician. Few men in Maine know
more of the capacities and resources of Maine,
and few are better acquainted with the wants
of our people and in fuller sympathy with the
reforms they demand. A pains-taking and
prudent man in the management of his own
affairs, he will bring to the discharge of his
official duties that care and industry that will,
so far as his power extends, ensure the State
an economical and pure administration of its
affairs.
Elsewhere will be found the resolutions of
the Bangor Convention. They embody the
sentiments and purposes of the Republican
party of the State. 1t is needless to add that
Mr.. DingIey is in the fullest sympathy with
the spirit of the platform upon which he
stands.
Republicans of Maine You have can
didate worthy of your best efforts, and with
little effort in every locality, he will be
elected next Monday by majority of TEN
or TWELVE THOUSAND votes.

A WILD Notwithstanding of a romance
is connected with the recent return to MRS.
Buckner, the wife of Gen. S. j. BIckner, the
ex-Confederate General of Kentucky, of Ger
tain large property, which when the war broke
out she had conveyed to her brother. When
Gen. Buckner entered the confederate service,
and before Mrs. Buckner joined him there. she
conveyed the property to her brother under
deed of trust The young man married, became
father, and entered the Union service. The
question now was, what would be done with the
property. If he should die or be killed without
making will, re conveying to his sister the
property she has decided to him, his child would
inherit the fortune. On the eve of the battle
of Sharpsburg. however, he made will of this
character, and at the battle named was killed.
Gen. Burnside, who commanded the corps in
which the young man served, knew that this
will had been made. He kept the secret, and
after the war informed Gen. Bnckner of it, and
the latter, by his aid was enabled to recover the
will. The testamentary proofs having been OBJ
tanned, Mrs. Buckners title was fully proved,
and the fortune which seemed at one time to
hang upon a slender thread. was restored to

LEE LAND SLIDE In PERU.-A correspondent
OF the Panama Star furnishes interesting par
tculars of the great land slide which occurred
on the route of the Oroya Railroad in Peru on
the 3lst of July. The locality is sixty-three
miles from Lima, on the left bank of the river
Rimac:
'.At this point narrow gorge intersects the
valley at right angles, running back at very
steep inclination until it ends in plateau OF
about a mile in depth and half mile wide,
surrounded by high walls of schiSt, partly de-
composed and mixed with brownish clayey
earth. This tableland is occupied By number
OF small cultivated estates, watered partly by
natural springs falling over the face of the sur
rounding cliffs, and partly by large aqueduct,
SIX feet in width, the excess of water hltering
through the soil and finding an outlet in the
narrow gorge leading to the river
Various small slides have previously occurred,
due to the softening of the lower strata by per-
collation.. The disaster, which occurred at 8 p.
M, was undoubtedly the result Of the soil. At
that hour rumbling sound was heard in Ma
tucana, and slight vibration of the ground
felt by the inhabitants. This was supposed to
be slight earthquake. The sight viewed from
the opposite side of the valley must have been
one Of awful grandeur. Unfortunately, none
who saw il lived to tell the tale. An ocean of
mud, earth and stones poured through the mar
row mouth of the gorge, dashed through the
river bed more than thousand feet across the
valley, and hurled millions of tons of material
up the opposite side. The earth wave extended
three hundred feet above the river bed, and
then subsiding, formed solid dam across the
valley, apparently 1900 feet long and as many in
width 1t oblterated the mule road on the
right bank, overwhelming six men and one
woman, with the animals they rode"
