more freely The demand, however, Is limited to
moderate sized lots, which have been taken at the
recent current rates. There has been more call for
rough leather and the best grades are sold up quite
closely. Calf skins, both rough and finished are
dull and prices Of neary all grades rule in buyers
favor. Finished Wax and Kip have been selling
quite freely, and the market Is firm. Splits and
grained leather unchanged. The market for Hides
has ruled steady, and prices for foreign hides are
unchanged. Domestic hides are quiet and the
market hardly SO strong

\ Happy Change.

n hapFy anange.
A trip out West has a good effect on the
politics of some people. There was Frank
Davis, of this city, Familiarity called "Major
Davis whom we all remember as demo-
crat of ''the most straitest sect" While in
Augusta he would as soon thought of taking
second trip over the Kennebec dam as CO.
ing back on the straight, unadulterated ticket
OF his party. But he leaves his "native
heath, and the gay and festive companions
of his youth; and behold 'presto, change -
the leopard changes his spots, the Ethiopian
lays aside his dusky skin; and Frank comes
out spank new republican, ready to SUBJ
scribe to the most ultra doctrine, and utter
the most rigid IRON clad shibboleth There
must be something very delightful in the at
mosphere of Kansas, some charm about the
sacred soil that was contaminated by the tread
OF Missouri order-rufiians-that has worked
this change. Anyhow, we "accept the amend
ment," and welcome our friend Davis to the
joys Of his newly-awakened hope, and while
these repentant democrats are improving the
time ''while the lamp holds out to burn" and
doing the honest thing politically, there is no
disposition to put up the bars; "and yet there
is ROOM" Frank writes that he shall vote for
no more old fogies, and trusts that certain
gentleman whom many have in mind, may be
the next President of the United States.

A man named John Dorsey was before
Commissioner Hallett to-day and held in ST.

from the mail car May 18th, while in transit
from Boston and was subsequently found near
the Warren railroad track rifed of its con-
tents.

piled briefly, saying he could not inform the
committee of his intention in the matter and
added that his decision was made several days
ago and would soon be made public.
