on the contrary all which makes for
peace, honor, uprightness, affection,
fidelity and loyalty in the domestic re-
lations, has found in him and his wife
noble examples and unOstentatious
champions. These virtues have been
truly hOnored in this private wedding,
whose publicity proceeds from the con-
spicuous position of the parties, and
not from any deliberate and vulgar
display Detroit Post.
If Mr.. Cakes Ames, deceased, had
gone on making shovels, instead of
mcddling with the Mobilier, he might
have been living now and hoDored, and
his estate might have been solvent,
which, we regret for the sake of his
creditors, it turns out not to be. Mr..
Ames, who inherited, we think, fine
business, and who certainly had an OPP
pOrtunity of becoming a real millionaire
in reputable way, was ruined by be-
ing sent to Congress. where he fell into
bad company and bad financial habits.
We need not state the result further
than to say that it broke Mr.. Ames'
heart. He was man to whom Il good
commercial reputation was everything,
and his became suddenly bad.-N. 7.

The Mill River Disaster.
Committee

The newspapers have abounded the
past week in incidents, but nothing new
or important about the dreadful disaS-
ter near northampton. The total loss
is rather less than reported, several OF
the missing turning up alive and well
The latest total puts the dead at 40
The papers are now earnestly discus
sing whether the milk-man and gate
keeper, who spread the alarm, were he
roes or not. We presume they both
and all acted very much as the ordi-
nary run of mortals would under the
circumstances although it does seem
as though Collins Graves comprehend
ed the situation pretty well and acted
with commendable promptness.
The Coroner's inquest is now being
held at Northampton, and the result of
nobody to blame is already antici-
pated. The work of restoration i'll the
devastated district is already begun,
and many of the mills will he rebuilt
the present season.

Extracts from the Press.

a new complication is threatened in
Arkansas, where, according to our dis
patches this morning. the Constitutional
Convention recommended by Baxter is
expected to Dust that gentleman finally
from the Governors chair, declaring il
vacant. This is certainly Il novel view
of the function of Constitutional Con-
ventiOn, which in other states is an in
strument for establishing system. and
not il tool for making changes in the
personnel of the Government. We can
not say that the Arkansas innovation
promises to be an improvement. 1t
looks like another attempt to wrest the
forms of law to the accomplishment OF
individual or partisan ends, practice
which has long been the curse of the
South. N. Y. Times.
