An EncOuraging 2 Statement.


Two of the greatest manufacturing
centers in the United States are Lew
iston, Maine, and Fall River, Massa-
chussetts. At the former there are
eighteen manufacturing corporations,
including ten cotton mills, running a
quarter of million spindles, and
consuming annually $4,000 bales of
cotton Together with the other
mills of Lewiston they employ 1900
men and women, disburse S2,6OO,OOO
annually in wages, and produce S11,-
OO0,0 900 worth of manufactured pro-
ducts. These mills are now running
full force, and more than that, are
preparing to enlarge their capacity.
Tao cotton mills at Fail River have
4,47O,OOO capital invested, run
1,2O9,664 spindles, employ 14,37O
worllmen, disburse in wages S461, 500
monthly andmanufacture 80, ,625, 900
yards of cloth per annum. These
mills are now running on half time,
as precautionary measure, but con-
tidently expect to resume full time in
December. The corporations owning
them are perfectly sound financially,
owe nothing to speak OF, and antici-
pate at no distant day the best trade
they have ever had. In short, these
great establishments expect to go
right along as they are now doing in
spite of the financial furry, which
they believe will be only temporary,
and about which they have no grave
apprehensions. .

A Paris letter tells Napoleonic anecdote
which is good, if not original The late
Napoleon III never had lively admiration
for his relative, Prince Napoleon. The
Prince imperial, then not more than six
years old, asked his father, ''what is the
difference between an accident and mis-
fortune" ''If, " replied the Emperor, ''your
cousin fell into the Seine, that would be an
accident; if any one would pull him out,
that would be misfortune"

A steam canal boat has arrived at New
York from Buffalo; having made the trip,
SOP miles, in just six days. Her cargo
consisted of seven thousand bushels Of
wheat, and the entire expenses of her voy-
age amounted to SlO9.62, or only one mill
and four hundredths ton per mile. The
cost by railway is estimated at cent a ton
per mile. The voyage was an experiment.

AT the Interior department. on the
Sd inst, Commissioner Smith endeay-
oreG to make peace between the Utes
and the Arrapahoes in novel man
ner He stated that the United
States would allow of no more fight
ing between the tribes, and suggested
in very emphatic manner, that the
representatives of the two tribes, who
Were present should settle all Difficult
ties by an amicable shaking of hands.
This was done, but as can be imag-
lned with no great display of affec-
ton. Powder Face remarked that
the Lord only knew whether this
was right or not, and Ouray sug
gested that time would tell, while
during the entire interview both of
them looked as though it would give
them much more satisfaction to be
taking each others sealps. The
friendly feeling engendered by Com
missioner Smith will probably last
until they reach their tribes and no
longer.

| Scene In Plymouth Church.

What scene there was last night in
Plymouth Church, when its pastor bespoke
;or Cuba, Liberty and the help of every
honest heart on the globe!' Women waved
their handkerchiefs and wept, men rose up
N their places wild with enthusiasm, ap-
plause vehement and long echoed through
the church, and for moment or two the
spectacle reminded one of those great out
bursts of patriotism with which now and
then few years ago the public thrilled
when there came the news of some great
victory for the Union arms. Mr.. Beecher
speaks again this evening at Steinway
Hall

We heard an anecdote of a school boy
the other day, which illustrates the honesty
of youth.
The little fellow had dirty face, and his
teacher told him to go and wash it.
He went out and stayed for a few min.
utes, and then came back with the lower
half of his countenauce tolerably clean, and
the upper half wet and dirty.
Johnny" said the teacher, ''why did you
not wash your face ?" e.
Il did wash it, said Johnny.
s.why did you not wipe it, then, all
over?"
Il did wipe it as far as my shirt tail
would reach" was Johnny's conclusive re-
ply.

A gentle Quaker had two horses, a
very good and very poor one. When
seen riding the latter, it turned out
that his better half had taken the

only reply was: "Friend, when thee

BT JOHN HOPLEY.

BT JOHN HOPLEY.
john IIopley of the Bucyrus (Ohiol journal
euth;r of "The Copperhead" and other notabl
political poems, gets off the following good thin
on the result of the recent election campaign in thi
State. 1t is parody on Tennyson's celebrates
Buglc Song. and in order that our readers may en-
joy the parody better, we give Tennyson's prOduc
ton irst:
THE BUGLE SONG.
The splendor falls on castle walls,
and snowy SUBMITS old in story,
Tha long light shakes across the lakes
and the wild cataract leaps in glory.
CHORUS.
Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
Blow, bugle, answer echoes, dying, dying, dying.
Oh bark, oh hear, how thin and cle4r,
And thinner, clearer, farther going,
Oh sweet and far, from cliff and scar,
The horns of Elnand, family blowing.
CHORUS.
Blow, let US hear the purple glens replying.
Blow, bugle; answer echoes, dying, dying, dying.
Oh love- they die in yon rich sky,
Then faint on hill, on field, on river;
As echoes roll, from soul to soul,
And grow forever, and forever.
CHORUS
BLOW, bugle, blow, sc: the wild echoes flying,
And answer, echoes answer, dying, dying, dying.
Abcautiful song, certainly. Now for the parody:
ALIENS FoG-HoRN SONG.
The ballot falls in township halls,
Aud voting precincts, just as ever;
Each well known face appears in place,
And all TO gain vote endeavor;
Come freemen, come set the white ballots falling;
Come, freemeD, come, your absence is appalling.
Oh zee oh note, how light the vote!
How many duty haveneglectedi
Thousands awsy, have lost the dag
For Noyes, and Allen is elected.
Blow, Fog horn, blow; how lager by the gallon,
And Fog-horn answers Fog-horn, Allen, Allen,
Allen!
Careless they roam, or stay at home,
Thousands about their business going,
So sure for Noyes each one employs
BIS time, nor thinks his vote worth throwing,
Blow, Fog-horn, blow; let Democrats be jolly
Der Noyes o'erthrown by folly, folH, folly.

EVENING hymn.

We, Thy children, humbly gather,
While the evening shadows fall,
At Thy mercy seat, o Father,
Lord of Heaven and Lord of All.
Through the day by Thee befriended,
Tributes to Thy love belong;
BY Thy grace The day now ended
Bears to Heaven our grateful song.
For all sins of viii and weakness,
Written to our charge to-day,
Lord, confessing them with meekness,
B OF them IRON Thy book, we pray.
If 10 Thee our steps draw nearer,
With the waning of the light,
Thy dear grace will grow the dearer,
Through the watches of the night.
Keep us while the night-gloom thickens,
Keep us, Father, till it flies,
And when dawn the darkness quickens,
Open on Thy smile our eyes.
Day by day, Thy gifts repeated
Night by night, our song wen raise;
Till, life's service all completed,
We shall sing in endless days!

breaches a plain and pointed, but
true and timely sermon in the fol
lowing:
There is gambling in our house
hold and personal expenses as un-
justifable as in our business ventures.
1t is gambling to live at high rate,
trusting to luck to meet the bills; to
occupy heavily mortgaged house; to
dress wives and children in finer
clothing than we can pay for; furnish
our parlors with handsome upholste
ry on credit; and to keep a loose,
running account with our grocer and
butcher, knowing, if we would only
stop long enough to know at all, that
we cannot pay for what we purchase.

the death of his brother aud family, the
property would fall to him. This is

were absent on a visit. The inmates

wife, aged %; their children, Ira B.,

Anna, niece, aged g.; John T." the

o'clock .. m. the latter was awakened
by the shrieks Of the little boy, and
ho immediately discovered that the
house was on FIRE.
He informed the neighbors, and the
flames were extinguished without much
damage. The bodies of the. father,
mother, and infant, who occupied the
same bed, were. soon found, mangled
and schorched, as to be hardly recog-
nizablo. The little boy, who slept IN "a
crib in the same room, was, severely
wounded, but may survive. The bloody
deed was evidently committed with an
AK, which was found on the premises. ;
The wounds Of the three murdered
persons were inflicted on the head, and
must have caused instant death. The

not so far come to light. With two
Senators--one with prestige lost, if he
retains his seat, and the other with no
action, we are not in position where
by our interests can be taken care of;

part of large and influential class,

that Democrats have no influence in
Washington and therefore vote for the

not stand good, and Republicans must
not expect to carry the coming election |
