QUERY ANswERED.-The American
Newspaper Reporter says: We have a
poetic production from one of the craft. 1t
is entitled "The Printers Love-" 1t COM
mences:
"And will my loved one leave me thusa"
We cannot say. She may or she
may not. Much depends upon the
personal attractions, circumstances or
habits of the poet. If he writes such
poetry as this, We should say that
she would leave him at once. We are
equally puzzled about the "thus." She
may leave him thus, and again she may
leave HIM in scratched condition, or mi.
nus his hair. Or if the "thus'' refers to
her manner of going, we may suggest that
there are several ways by which she might
leave him, She could walk, or ride, or hire
wheelbarrow. On the whole, we would
rather not have such questions.

New Hampshire Politics.

CONCORD, March 1.-THE present polit-
zeal canvass in this state, though involving
the election of three congressman and the
governor, is the most quiet ever known
here. The Republicans claim that they
will carry the state and re-elect Governor
lsham by 1880 majority. Per contra, the
Democrats are confident on a full vote
of electing Weston governor and their con-
gressmen in the first and third districts.
Much will depend on the amount of money
spent by either party. The Credit Mobilier
business and the increase of salaries bill
have damaged the Republican cause here.

EXCEPTION IN COLONEL GREENE's
CAsE.--President Grant has excepted
Colonel R. G. Greene, who, as our readers
well know, is the efficient postmaster at
Petersburg and also valuable member OF
the state Senate, from the operations of the
late proclamation prohibiting federal office
holders from occupying positions under
state or municipal authority. Colonel
Greene will, therefore, serve out the term
as Senator for which he was elected, and
also continue to discharge the duties of
postmaster of Petersburg. The Peters,
burg papers can now cease their efforts to
find successor to either the one or the
other position.

The SUICIDE THURSDAY NIGHT
The coroner's jury last evening, IN the
case of Catherine Mailey, who hung her.
self in the penitentiary Thursday night,
rendered verdict in accordance with the
facts as published in the STATE JOURNAL
last evening. The evidence developed the
fact that Mrs. Mailey had been twice mar.
ried, her first husband having been MUIR
dered. She married Mailey and brought
to him small fortune of about So 900.
They moved from Baltimore to Isle oil
Wight county, two or three years since.
and it is said that both exhibited
violent dispositions and were known
as disorderly characters. She leaves
a little girl, who is at an orphan asylum in
Norfolk, and the last words of the unfor.
nate woman on Thursday were that, if any.
thing should happen to her, her property
might be saved from her husband for her
child. Since she has been at the peniten.
tiary she on one occasion attempted to sci
fire to her cell. She was about thirty years
of age. We learn that she was detained
at the penitentiary after being adjudged O
lunatic for the reason that there was nc
room in either the Eastern or Western asy.
lum for her accommodation.

LAND SLIDE.--A part of the sidewalk
on the south side of Main street, between
Eighth and Ninth, has sloughed off into
the cellar of the old Spotswood hotel.
This portion Of the walk has had down
ward tendency for months, and we hope
its latest demonstration will insure speedy
repairs. The old walls are not sufficiently
strong at any point to render the walk Sc
cure, and until such time as thorough re-
pairs can be made, travel should be entirely
debarred, and accidents may thus be pre-.
vented.
