Stars and MeteOrs.

At certain seasons meteors dart across the hrma-
ment between the earth and the fixed stars. But
they quickly vanish, while the fixed stars remain.

the shape Of limitations, bearing various Names now
and then attempt gmmeriHg competition with 1t,
but they soon disappear from the ed Of vision eav-
ing the glory of the true remedy unimpaired. The
number Of these will-o, thewisps that have to
grief within the last twenty years is beyond compu-

House, Saturday, by a vote of 221 to 40, pro-
vides for the distribution among the states of
the West and South of $50, OOO, 900 of the ex-

states, releases banks from holding reserves
except certain per cent. of deposits, and
puts the limit Of greenbacks at 1882, O0O,O 900.
From the tenor of the debate in the House,
it may be inferred that the bill suits nobody

To the Editor of the Press: gss~'O (
The exhibition and examination exercises of
the Eaton School on Wednesday 18th inst,
were of unusual interest and excellence. The
weather was unfavorable, but many of the old
friends and patrons of the school were in at
tendance. In the forenoon examination was
had in arithmetic, algebra and book keeping;
in the afternoon the chemistry, physiology, geo.
graphy, grammar and French classes were ex-
amined, and in the evening declarations and
readings were given in the Congregational
church, enlivened by music from Morrison's or
ehestra, of Skowhegan. The exercises of the
students were characterized by readiness and
thoroughness which evinced a most careful and
faithful training, and were very creditable to
the managers of the school as well as to the
young participants. IS 2ffF
Ga Thursday the first general reunion of
alumni occurred. A large number of former
pupils came back to renew and refresh the old
school acquaintance, and the entire day and
evening were given up to FESTIVITIES suited to the
occasion. A set Of officers were elected, an ora
ton by Rev. Costello Weston, and poem by
Nathan Dole were given in the Congre gational
church, and social assembly in the evening
filled out the day. The Grafton and poem were
warmly received and much praised. They will
be printed in pamphlet for the use of the
alumni. Music was furnished by the Norridge-
wock Band, and the exercises throughout were
interspersed with songs by pupils. 81 The whole
affair was very enjoyable and testifes the in
terest and affection maintained toward this adj
mlrable institution by all who have ever been
connected with it. Ell

IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION. - The Su-
preme Court. in session at Bangor, has just
rendered decision in the case of Bartlett &
Wood, of Gardiner, against the Western Uuion
Telegraph COMPANY. The action was brought
to recover damages for the incorrect transmits
sion of message. The despatch was to Hobbs
& Co., Chicago. ordering ten thousand bushels
of corn, but as received read Zone thousand
bushels" 1t required two or three days to cor
rect the error, and, meanwhile, the price of
COIN had advanced ten cents per bushel, max
ing a loss for Bartlett s. Wood of $780,. In
giving judgment for plaintiffs tho Court
says: t.r,T, .t,
A rule adopted by Telegraph Company as
follows: "The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany will receive messages for all stations east
of the Mississippi river, to be sent during the
night, at e-half the usual rates, on condition
that the company shall not be liable for errors
or delay in the transmission or delivery, or for
non-delivery of such messages, from whatever
cause occurring, and shall only be bound in
such case to return the amount paid by the
sender is against public policy and is there
fore void. When assented to by the sender, so
as 70 become contract, it is equally void as
against public policy, and also because its
terms are repugnant, assuming to impose an
o0hgatlon, and by the same act releasing from
all obligations. In an action to recover dam
ages OF telegraph company for an error in the
Transmission OF message, in the absence of
any rule or contract fixing the company's La

ers we're Sherman, Noyes, Foster
and others. Senator Sherman spoke
as follows, and his remarks seemed
to be the key note Of all:
Senator Sherman was then called upon for
some remarks. He said he was in q hopeful
mood. BE believed the Republican party Of
Ohio is in good condition for battle this fall.
The vote upon the Constitution may in some
way affect matters. That instrument may be
defeated. For himself, although objecting to
some Of its features, he was, on the whole in
favor Of It. As to the temperance question,
that is Of moral nature, and no thought
ought not TO affect cur politics. He would, IN
voting upon the question as presented in the
new Constitution, vote in such q way as TO
leave the Legislature in possession OF tne
fullest authority over it, believing that Is
where It should properly be left and DeileV-
the Legislature would SO act as 70 restrict eV-
lis on fhe enc hand and interfere with no le-
eitimate business on the other
A to national questions, he thought the
advantage is all with the Republican party
n bss nasde an economical record in the last
CONGRESS that will enable it to 20 before the
peopie with full assurance Of endorsement.
We must, too, take ground in favor of the re-
sumption Of specie payments. The Demo-
crats are determined TO force this issue upon
us, and we ought TO meet il like men. Per-
haps we can't Just agree as TO the exact meth
cd now Of marching toward specie payments,
but we can and must declare we will not
march away from it. The measures of Con-
gress on this subject are on the whole good
and wise. Let the Democrats Of Ohio take
the position assumed yesterday by the Indi-
ana Democrats, and we will whip them out of
their boots.
As 10 the tariff question, we have shown
our capacity to deal with it fairly, moderate
lv, wisely and well. The present tariff law is
GOOD as q whole, and excellent in its details
the best we ever had. It is capable of i'm
provement, Of course, but it IS a good basis
and we have shown capacity to improve it as
occasion may demand.
We have no great overriding issue different
from these. We have no longer to fight for
the great ideas Of freedom and nationality.
The questions are economic and industrial and
on these we have the advantage Of cur oppo-
nents. If we are somewhat divided upon
them, they are still more SO. If they look al
the past, our record is glorious, and theirs is
infamous. We can achieve victory if we will.
Last fall we were borne down by some unwise
action of Congress. But to the action Of the
last Congress no such objection can be urged
It was good politically and it was good NOR
allv. There is not man in the Senate Of the
United States in the habit Of getting intoxi.
Gated, and that never could be said before
Now, let us raise our standard, carry the wal
into every District, and we shall certainly
succeed.
