The House, by strict party vote, has
passed the revised printing bill, against
which we have demonstrated The bill
was substantially the conference measure
reported at the last session, and is the
rates prescribed were the result Of an ex-
animation by committees OF both parties
into the necessary cost Of labor and ma
terials. We could not have objected to it
as an original proposition; the objection
Is that The present rates ought TO have
remained in force until it had been shown
that the present Printer would not have
performed the service under them, and
that it could not have been done at as
low rates under contract. The new bill
contains the irrelevant section before
mentioned, increasing the pay of the
Supreme Court Reporter from So as fixed
at the last session, to S5 per page.
The compensation under the law as it
before stood, was 81 so per page.
The (majority) report from the com
mittee appointed to investigate the s17,-
900 Map Job, is a withdrawing affair
Our readers, who had previously exam
ined the minority report of Mr. Goar,
will need no assurance of this fact We
are compelled to the belief, that as the
majority are not free from the influences
that control ordinary mortals when not
overruled, their partisan Partially and
personal sympathy have operated to coz
troll their decision. The testimony itself
is not as full as it ought TO have been !;
and the opinion that the law is vague
and indefinite under which 1.-the mer-
camille transaction" was effected is sim
ply preposterous. The law positively
forbids the purchase Of maps for schools
except on the recommendation of Coun-
ty Superintendent. The State Super
intendent set this clause at defiance.
He not only acted without authority of
County Superintendent in many in
stances, but in violation of their opinion;
and the consequence is an overstock of
maps, and Il requisition on the treasury
for $17,00 Who were the benefci-
aries of the job is not known, but it
ought to have been. The inference is
unavoidable that there were several. We
shall turn from this whitewashing affair
in the hope that the matter will receive
more impartial inquiry and thoraagh ex-
posure at the hands of the Senate ccm-
mittee, of which Mr.. y. T. Morgan is
chairman

POETRY.

The family of the brilliant young Freder-
w. Loring, who was slain by the Apaches
November, 1871, have recovered the effects
It were on his person when he fell. In his
along with some unfinished
,tches, were the following graceful verses:
Do You ask me, starry eyes,
To describe the lover true?
Wonder not at my surprise,
Who should know as well as you.
Think Of all that you have seen,
All the lovers that have been;
He is true whose love is shown
For her sake, and not his own.
What he does, he docs alone;
Yet he hopes it wins her thought,
All that in his soul has grown,
TO her sovereign feet is brought;
To his soul her image clings,
She seems woman in all things,
And each thought that in him stirs,
Is not for his sake, but hers.
For her sake he will endure,
For her sake will sacrifice;
Bravely bearing, her love sure,
Censure SANDER, scorn, advice.
II another wins her heart,
Sadly he will from her part
Sadly, bravely, true love is
For her sake and not for his.
This is the true lover, sweet
True as ever l am true;
For my love is all complete,
Perfect, since it comes from you,
Darling, yet it's not true-no,
For could not let you go,
must keep you where you've grown,
For my sake, and for your own.
For your own because love
More then any other can;
More than ever love could move
Heart of any former man.
Look at me and then agree,
None have ever loved like me;
For whatever may do,
Is because live in you.
Kiss, and SO shut speech away,
When old age cur life has spent,
Twill be time enough to say,
What is love in argument.
For the present all stars shine;
You are here, and you are mine.
Love makes light, and song, and flowers,
For whose sake? Dear love. for ours.

A few words on Rheumatism
OR HOW BECAME ENGAGED in THE
UNIVERSITY MEDICINES.

Some eight years ago. (after returning from the
sickly climate of Southern Chna) was attacked
with Rheumatism and for four years was unable to
dress myself and most of the time my suffering was
so great that would have given all possessed or the
wealth of the world if had it, to be relieved from
my sutferings. 1 tried all remedies knew could
hear of but received no benefit. had about given
up in despair when received of the University
books. thought it a humbug at first, but after
areful perusa it looked reasonable like drown
ing man catching to straw, sent for the medicine,
and in one week after commenced taking it felt
some relief. In one month could move about with
ease, and at the end of two months was perfectly
cured. l tried the medicine on several others af-
hicted with Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Dr0psy. &C., with
the beneficial effect. After testing the medi-
cine to my satisfaction and finding it far superior to
any other medicine for all chronic diseases obtain
ed the general agency for the State Of Maine and
New Brunswick and moved to Portland some three
years ago. And of the thousands of patients have
treated have met with almost universal success.
do not expect to cure all. and when / see patient
that think cannot cure tell them so, for above
deceive and rob the sick. As there are thousands
suffering with rheumatism wish to impress the
minds of such to not despair; their case is cur
able. When l see the patient and apply the
direct Mediator, can relieve the pain in few min
utes, and by taking the University Medicines. If not
cured in month there will be great relief, and it
must be very stubborn case that cannot cure in
two months. Why dwell SO much on Rheumatism
1 know too well how to sympathize with those that
are its victims, and know they be cured. If
the above statement with the following certificates is
not enough to sufficiently satisfy those that are suf-
fering with it, God help them.

Torrance was the exhibition of these Long
Noses-Wonderful equilibrists-who had new
er visited Europe. The Long Noses were
particular company placed under the special
care or direction of the God Tingow. They
were dressed as the hero's of the middle age
and wore upon the shoulders splendid PAIR
of wings. But the distinguishing feature was
the long nose, which ornamented their races,
and the use they made of it.
The noses were made of bamboo, fve-six
-ten---feet in length-some straight, others
curved,-some smooth, others knotty. 1t
was upon these appendages, securely fasten-
ed, that they performed their strange feats.
Twelve of the followers OF TingOw stretched
themselves on their backs, and their comrades
sported upon their noses, -erected like light
ming onductors-jumping, flying from one
to another, performing the strangest feats.
To close the entertainment, they had an
nounced to the public human pyramid, in
which 30 OF the Long noses would represent
the Car OF Juggernaut, taking for support OF
the pyramid, their noses instead of the Shout
ders as is customary. One of those who
formed the base of the Car had left the troup
and, as it suficed to be vigorous and agile,
Passepartout had been chosen to replace him.

themselves upon these long points-then a

The applauseredoubled and the orchestra
burst forth as so many thunders, when the
pyramid shook, its equilibrium was broken,

monument fell down like a house of cards.
Passepartout had abandoned his post,
