KELLOGG AND LOUISIANA.

The Philadelphia Press thinks there are
good reasons for believing that Kellogg
and not McEnery was elected governor
of Louisiana. 1t says: 1.-The doubts
which surround that gentleman's majority
are not half 50 thick as those which OBJ
scure McEnery's. In the first place, there
is no doubt of the fact that Louisiana is a
Republican State. The two races there
are equally divided, and there are thou
sands of white Republicans, native and
from the North. The Federal office hold
ers in the State number several thousand
The port of New Orleans is the second in
importance, the custom-house alone Civ
ing employment to small army of voters.
There is no doubt that Kellogg received a
majority of the votes cast in 1872, although
the legal Board of Return, as manipulate
ed by Yarmouth, decided that his oppo-
nent had a majority of about 5000. 1t
was then that the first revolution occurred.
An irregular Return Board was constitut-
ed, the Fusionists scattered, and Kellogg
declared elected 1t was this act which
Judge Durell and the Supreme Court OF
Louisiana sustained. We see no way out
of the difficulty but for the continued rec
ognition of the Kellogg government until
it has served its natural term"

RURAL WANDERINGS.-VII.

Sept. 25th, 1874.
Our ride from Greenvale over Beech Hill
to Madrid Notwithstanding the height of land
which had to be surmounted, was very agree
able. The road is mostly in unusually good
condition, and the forests and clearings, the
lake and mountain scenery, pleasantly diver
sifed the view.
At the little village of Madrid, though SO
far in the interior, is a very we'll constructed
school building, in which high school was
in progress; and the young people of both
sexes, in neat attire, were seen about the
school house. and coming and returning on
the various cross roads, aud from the seclu-
ded farm houses, with bright, intelligent faces,
and packages of school books to aid them in
their pursuit of knowledge. The scene and
its surroundings bore attestation to the benfi-
cial operation of the State high school law.
In these country towns, the men and women
of Maine are raised aud trained, and every
facility that is afforded is public blessing.
Phillips village bears evidence of steady
growth and prosperity. Several new dwell
lings, and one or two blocks of stores, have
been built recently, and others remodeled
and besutifed
At Strong, we crossed the handsome wire
suspension bridge that here spans the Sandy

where clothes pins and excelsior bedding are
manufactured.
We stopped one night at Pennington, and
| spent part of the next day in viewing some of
its notabilites. The Supreme court was in
session, Judge Virgin presiding; but the
! Court House is very far from being up to the
| level of the general appearance of this fine
village. This thriving county ought to fur
| nish its county with handsome and more
| convenient building. Pennington is distin-
| guished for its schools Of various kinds. The
Normal School occupies fine brick building
| with a spacious front area well shaded with
| ornamental trees. This school is doing a
great and beneficial work for the young peo-
pie of the State who desire to become teach
| ers. The Willows School is young ladies
seminary Of very superior character, under
the instruction Of the daughters of H. Belch-
| er Esq, The building is an elegant and cost.
ly structure, specially planned for the pur-
pose. The Little Blue School for boys show
evidences of continued prosperity. The main
building has been enlarged, and the grounds
further improved. In exploring them, we
missed some of the rustic seats and bridges
which formerly presented such quaint and
picturesque appearance. But their place has
been supplied with more substantial and dur
able structures. In the old Jacob Abbott
mansion, there is another school, which is a
family school for boys.
Amongst the other industries at Farming
ton is a corn canning establishment, J. Win
slow Jones, proprietor. To this we made a
brief visit, during which we witnessed about
as striking a scene as we ever saw Of the
kind. About 400 persons are employed in
all. The season continues only five or six

weeks. The sweet corn planted on contract,
in order to secure supply Carts loaded
with it were constantly coming to the factory,
and depositing their loads. The husks are
stripped off, and the ears of corn are placed
in repositories resembling mill hopper with
a parting in the centre. In one part are the
ears, and into the other the operatives are
cutting the corn from the cobs. A large room
perhaps 80 by 60 feet, was packed as closely
as possible with men and women, girls and
boys, all cutting corn from the ears, their
knives flying as fast as possible and making a
noise that was almost Undesirable. 1t was
the busiest sight we ever beheld. In another
room, the corn is cooked by steam; then
placed in the cans by machinery. Some are
engaged applying paste to labels, others IN
putting the labels on the cans, others in pack
ing the cans in wooden boxes, and others in
labelling the boxes. In one building the tin
cans are manufactured, in another the wooden
boxes. Notwithstanding the unfavoraole sea-
son for corn, very large quantity will be
canned the present year.
At Pennington Falls, large new building
has Just been erected, which is intended for a
paper mill Every where the industries of
the country are on the increase.

Hail, Welded Love.

Milton. You know her. She lives
on your street. Her features are either
pinched, or full and frowsy. Her dress
is wet, ill-titted and of no particular
pattern her slippers are broken down /;
her hair is unconbed her voice is
either shrill or claFse. You have seen
her stand out in the back yard, and
put bare arm up to her eyes, and un-
der it peer out to the fence or barn,
where a man in an ill-fting coat is
searching for someting, and-haye heard
her shOut-''John can't George bring
me some water?" And you have heard
him cry back" If he don't get that
water 1 will take every inch of flesh
from his bones" And when you have
looked at her again, does it seem posi-
bic that those angry eyes have dropped
in maideniy reserve, or raised in CO.
quettish light to the face of the man in
the ill-fitting coat? Can you, by any
possible wrench of the imagination,
conceive of her tenderly passing pepper
mints TO her; of his taking that hand
in his and bashfully squeezing it? But
it was so. Many a "God bless you,"
has been uttered above that bear head,
many a kiss pressed on that uncombed.
The tightly compressed lips have lov-
ingly framed tender invitations to him
to take another bite of cake and pickel.
The hands that are now parboiled and
blistered and marked with scars, from
the breadknife, and scratches from the
last setting hen, were once twined low
ingly. about his neck, and the nose
which is now peaked and red, and
looks as if it would stand on its hind
legs and scream with rage, once follow
ed for the figures of his new vest pat
tern, or bore heavily against his jugu-
lar vein. AS little probable as this
seems to you, it seems less so to her,
She has forgotten it. She wont hear it
talked of by others. She cannot bear
to see it acted by others. Two lovers
are to her "a passed. of fools" And
but George is rubbing his head, and we
turn aside while our heroine re-adjusts
her slipper.-DanbaTy Nc'rs.

Old Letters.

Never burn kindly written letters;
it is so pleasing to read them over when
the ink is brown, the paper is yellow
with age, and the hands that taaced the
friendly words be folded over the hearts
that prompted them under the green
sod. Above all, never burn love letters.
To read them in after years is like
resurrection to ones youth. The ell
derry spinster finds in the impassioned
offer she foOlishly rejected twenty years
agOa fountain of rejuvenescence
GlaDcing over it she realizes that she
was once belle and a beauty, and
beholds her formor self in a mirror
much more congenial to her tastes than
the one that c0nfronts her in her dress
ing-room. The "widow indeed" de-
rives sweet ahd solmon consolation
from the letters of the beloved one
who has journeyed before her to the far
off land, from which there comes no
message, and where she hopes one day
to join him. No photographs can so
vividly recall to the memory of the
mother the tenderness and devotion of
the children who have left at the call
of heaven, as the epistolary Outpouring
of their love. The letter of true son
or daughter to true mother is some
thing better than an image of the fea-
lures; it is a reflex of the writer's soul.
Keep all love letters. Burn only the
harsh ones, and in burning them for
give and forget them.

POWERFUL TELESCOPE.-The Wash
ington Telescope, for the building of
which Congress made an appropriation
of $4,000 some years ago, is now being
mounted at the National Observatory
in Washington. The instrument rests
on pier of stone and brick-work ex-
tending eighteen feet below the surface,
and the pier is capped by a single
block of sandstone, weighing about two
tons. On this stone rests heavy iron
casting weighing one and a quarter
tons, and this supports the instrument.
Although the weight of the moving
parts is about four tons, tho immense
mass can be moved bya slight pressure
of the hand. The length of the instru..
ment il thirty-two and half feet, and
the telescope tube is of sheet steel, riv-
eted together. The important part of
the instrument, the object glass, Is
twenty-six inches in diameter, and
was mace in England, at a cost of
81 900. The telescope is splendidly
mounted for all movements, and the
size of the object glass will relieve the
observer from the effects ofatmospheric
' disturbances, which, with smaller
/, glasses, are extremely troublesome.

Another Fact for Darwin.

Mr.. Frank Buchland made a singu-
lar discovery short time since. While
inspecting salmon river he noticed a
remarkably active and intelligent lit
tie boy playing about the weir, whose
story, related by his father, he COM
mendS to DarWin'S consideration. Last
Christmas the little fellow was taken
to seea pantomin,e, in which monkeys
performed great part. The scene so
impressed the child's mind that the
next morning he imagined himself to
be a money. "He would not speak;
no kindness or threats would make him
say single word; he would not sit at
the table with his brothers and sisters
at meals, but would only eat out of a
plate placed on the ground, being on
all fours. If anything to eat was pre-
sented to him he always put it to his
nose and smelt it just as monkey
does before eating it. He was contin-
ually climbing up trees and throwing
down boughs, and grinning at the peo-
pie below like monkeys i'll the cocoa
nut trees in the pantOmime. When
his father tried to correct him, the lit
tie fellow, still on all fours, ran after
and bit him on the leg. lie would
serve his sisters and brothers the same
if they teased him." Fortunately the
freak has passed off; but it will be ne
cessary tor the parents to exercise con-
siderable caution in his education in
theatrical matters. Certainly the case
is an extraordinary one, and Mr.. Dar-
wins opinion on the subject WoulQ he
interesting. u
