We have not got two parties, equal in re-
gard to endowment, intelligence and social
standing whose ranks could alternately re-
cruit the Government, in accordance to the
oscillations of the majority. We have, in
deed two parties, but only one of them
represents true and general ability, the
other being formed of men altogether I'M
able to hold the reins of government
most OF whom could, probably, never be
elected members of parliament in any
other country but Denmark. The late
King gave US such freedom that a very
great part Of the members of the second
chamber are peasants or people without
higher education, yet, nevertheless, the
classes from which these men come, are
not content, but oppose steadily the first
chamber, the Kings perogativeS. Fortu-
nateIy tor the country, they will never be
able to raise a revolution, but they will,
for a long time, succeed in creating diStur-

PRoF. BARps EXPEDITION Baird
has arrived i'll this city and will soon begin his
Iabors of investigation. His party consists of
his own assistants, DR.. Palmer of Howard Uni
versity, Washington, formerly of Gardiner
and Professor Thomas Gill of Washington,
whose duties relate chiefly to the food-fishes
and the fisheries. Then there is geological
party OF which Prof. Verrill Of Yale College, is
the head. Prof. Verrill will take charge of the
dredgings and will be assisted by Prof Smith
OF Yale; Prof. Fernald, of the State College at
Orono; Prof Todd Of Taber University, Iowa;
Prof. Nelson of the University of the North
west; and Prof. Good of Middletown Universe
ty. Prof Baird is, of course, the head of the
expedition. Mr.. Emerson, of Salem, is the ar
fist of the party, and Mr.. Rockwell the photo
grapher. All told, there are some twenty or
thirty scientific men connected with the expe-
dition, and the headquarters will be fixed on
Peaks Island at the residences of MIR. Skillngs
and Mr.. Trefethen.
The object of the expedition is to make
thorough exploration of the sea along the cas-
tern coast and solve any and all questions of a
scientific nature that may present themselves.
The central idea is a careful inquiry into the
food fishes and fisheries of the coast; their sta
tstics aud their relations to each other; and the
economy of tneir nature. An attempj will be
made to improve the stock when it appears to
have degenerated. An enquiry will also be
made into the natural history of the coast. Ihe
researches will be confined chiefly to the sea
between the mouth of the Penobscot and Ports,
mouth harbor. Prof. Baird considers this bend
of the coast as possessing the deepest interest to
the scientist.
opttar ssWcCulIoch" are to be at Prof. Baird s
service. A full collection of everything gather
ed by the expedition will be sent to the Smith
sonan Institute, and complete duplicate will
be left with the Portland Natural History So
ciety, thus enrching that museum to an extent
almost incalcuable. The expedition will remain
in those waters for several months and will be
present in Portland harbor during the meeting
of the Association for the Advancement of Sci
ence, in this city next August.

A MINNESOTA paper SAYS:

A MINNESOTA paper says:
In little more than twenty-four months of
working time, the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company has accomplished the following re-
suits:
1. 1t has built and opened to business more
than 5000 miles of its line of Road. besides an ad
dltional section of 100 miles put under contract
and now being constructed,
2. 1t has completed the entire Eastern Divis-
ion of its Road, uniting the commerce of the
Lakes with the navigation of the Upper Mis-
souri,, and has formed favorable connections
with lines of steamers eastward from Duluth to
Buffalo, Erie and Cleveland. and westward
from Bismarck (where the Road strikes the
Mssouri,) to Fort Benton in Western Montana
thus opening new and direct east and west
rou of travel and transportation $500 miles in
length. by lake, rail- and river, between the
Atlantic States and the new Northwest.
3. 1t has secured-by reason OF the short
ness and directness of its line-the trade of the
North vest including the transportation of Ar
my and Indian supplies.
4. 1t has earned title to nearly ten million
acres of lands granted by the Government to
aid in the construction of the road. and these
consist main v of good prairie, farm and graz
ing lands in Central Minnesota and Dakota,
and valuable timber lands about Puget Siund.
5. 1t nas fully organized its Land and Emil
grafton Department, and successfully begun
the work of selling and settling its land grant,
1t has realized from lands thus far sold an aver
age price Of nearly six dollars per acre,
and from the proceeds has already begun the
purchase and cancellation of its 7-30 first mort
gage bonds
& 1t has opened to the landless citizens of
this and other countries, and to the markets of
the world, 100000 square miles of the grain belt
of the continent, from which the bulk of tn
wheat export of the United States must, ere

The mob knowing the desperate character of
the man, procured balls of Irvine. saturated
with coal oil and turpentine, and threw some
of them into the CELL They threw the Others
forward on the ends of long poles and set them
in blaze. Having thus lighted up the cell,
bringing the victim into full view, the mob
Opeued fire upon him. Some twenty shots were
fired, one of which entered his 1reast and an
other broke his arm A rock was thrown at
him, which struck on the head and knocked
him down. Before he could recover he was
feized, tied and dragged out of the JAIL He
was Immediately taken to covered railroad
bridge, about thirty feet high, about two
squares from the Jail, where he asked twice to
pray, but the ynchers replied that they could
not wait: rope was put around his neck and
he was thrown over the rafter of the bridge
Hetferen was then pushed off. As soon as he
was dead the lynchers returned to jal gather
ed up everything they had left that could af-
ford clue to their identity, released the sheriff
and guards and scattered in every direction
None were recognized, and no person knows
what road they entered or left the town.

Wagner Taken to sacO,

ALFRED, Me-, June 3O.-Wagner, accompa-
MED by the officer, arrived at this place at 40
a. M, this morning and was remanded t. Jail
and strongly guarded this afternoon when he
was taken in charge by deputy sheriffs Durgin
and Stevens, and conveyed to the Jail at Saco,
where he is now safely lodged, it being consid-
cred more secure than the new Jail at this place
Wagner converses freely, and has amused
your reporter and his attendants by his de-
scrip ion of his unlocking his cell aud making
his escape. He says be has no disposition to
again try the experiment, were the doors
thrown open before him. He adds, his inten-
ton was to return Wednesday night and & t
into his old quarters, and call for his breakfast
Thursday morning, His strange manner of
conversing seems to indicate a lack of intellect,
and many are disposed to believe him partially
insane or at least not as shrewd as has been
considered.
By order of Sheriff Warren Wagner was TAX
en- from here this afternoon by deputy sheriff
Obadiah Durgin and Robert M. Stevens, and
lodged in Jail at Saco, where locks are believ-
ed to be more secure Wagner says he escaped
about 10 o'clock at night, the Waterman being
in another corridor conversing with a prisoner.
and that Mccarthy and Harrington who are
still at large, went out half an hour in advance
of him. Sheriff Warren is said to be in crti-
cal condition at OldOrchard Beach, induced by
the injury to his hip and general prostration OF
