found with sufficient courage and care for the
college to bring before them the situation as
it exists, to point out the imminent peril
threatening the very life of the institution,

duty was to seek fearlessly aud conscientious

A New Candidate.

To the Editor Of the Press.
Allow me through your columns to say to nv
Democratic friends, that in years past, my
friends have come to me in pairs, in scores.
yea in solid columns, even the air was full of
them, asking me to allow my name to be used
as candidate for office, but my modesty for
babe. And now there is another election COM
ing off this fall, and my friends have come to
me quietly, gently, kindly--and lovingly, and
begged OF me to allow my name to be used. L
have taken the matter into serious considera-
ton, and after consultation with few of nv
most intimate friends, have come to the con-
clusion that modesty in the common parlance
OF the times does not pay, and therefore L
shall throw modesty to the dogs, and boldly
announce myself as a candidate for congress
sional honors in the first district, and wonId
say to my friends, work hard to nominate me.
and after that, work hard to elect me. and I
will promise you, that, if elected, 1 will not
jump the fence, unless it will pay. Yours in
the bonds of Democracy,

1t seems that an author has some rights.
OF at least Judge Lawrence Of New York
concludes that Bret Harte has the exclusive
right to use his own name. Last winter one
Dewitt published a good sized volume pur-
porting to be written by Bret HaIte, but on
page 81 was printed in small type remark
that the story thenceforward was written by
All equally capable hand. The first part of
the book was written by Bret Harte as a
short story entitled "Mliss," and which at
one time be proposed to expand. Last Jan
nary Mr.. Harte sued out an Injunction to
restrain this publisher from selling the work,
and now Judge Lawrence has granted a con-
tinuance of the injunction until the trial of
ne issue, but his decision in connection with
tie extension doubtless foreshadows the re-
suit of the case. He held that an author
was entitled to invoke the aid of a court O

RIGHT, LEFT AND CENTRE.-Many who read
reports of proceedings in the French Assembly
are puzzled when dispatches are talking about
the Left, the Right, the Right Centre and the
Left Centre. BY reference to the following ex-
PLANTATION they may be able to acquire some
knowledge of French parties:
The Left is composed of the Republicans, of
whom Leon Gambetta and Jules Favre are
leaders. The Extreme Leftis Radical Republic
can or Communist. The Left Centre is made
up of the Conservative Republicans-the men
who were willing. to accept republic as the
best practicable form of government. Theirs
and Casimer Periere are lead ers in this branch
of the Assembly The Right is composed of
the Legitmists or Bourbons-the ultra divine
right, white-fag Chambord Monarchists. The
Right Centre represents the Conservative Mon
archsts, or Orleanists, who favor Constitu-
tional Monarchy of the conservative type The
Bonapartists are generally classified with the
Right, but there are only about forty five or
fifty of them. The deputies comprising the
Assembly number 73S, 723 Of whom are elected

IL ute EuNOF " Wo ETeSS.
have read with good deal of regret and
disappointment the dongs of the Overseers of
Bowdoin College during the past week. 1 had
been hoping that they would take some
decided action in regard to the future of this
institution, but it seems that they have
marched up a hill and then marched down
again" Gen. Anderson and Judge Goddard
have made speeches, and the ''drl' is 'to be
or not to be-, just as any pleases, but feath-
ers are to bein the ascendant whether school
keeps or not.
Now, Mr.. Editor, with your permission /
will state my position, and it can go for what
it is worth. have a son preparing for college
and l have intended sending him to Bowdoin,
and still would like to do SO, but / would ask
you in all candor what inducement now have
for sending him there. l do not want to send
him to either of the other colleges in the state,
and will not send him out of the state, so |
have remedy but to keep him at home My
case is one of many at the present tme and
we contend that we have rights in Bowdoin
which We do not wish to lose by the bad manage
ment OF those in power. But there is remedy
for all of this and that is to put the axe to the
root of the tree and clean out all of the hinder
ances to the success of this, our ouce favorite
college.
Had the power, would at once ask Pres
dent Chamberlain to resign. would then send
all OF the training element adrift and bring
the old craft, which has been floating rather
loosely of late, back to it's anchorage | would
then md some energetic man for president who
would be free from all political and military am
bitIon, and who would give all of his might and
power to the advancement of the best interests
of the college. | would then call on all of it's
old friends (new ones it has none) to come to
its rescue and relieve it from its financial en-
barrassments-s call L am sure that would
meet with ready response when it was known
that radical change had been made from it's
present management A committee has been
named to collect moaey; but this committee
can do nothing, for you might as well ask the
stockholders of broken down corporation to
subscribe for more stock to be MANAGED nv the
old directors as to ask for money for Bowdoin
with its present management. The college has
been running down ever since President Harris
left it. and is lower now than for many years,
as is proved by the small number of applicants
I'D for admission this year. There is no hone
Tor IL, but to do as have suggested. Make a
change IN the management especially in its
head, put in new men, new life, new yigor, and
you will see this favorte institution of the
state, taking its old position among the foremost
colleges of the land; but neglect this and Bow
dom has seen its best days, and it will only be
matter of time when it will die and its
epitaph will be: Died from want of pluck in It's
Ovefseers. PARENT

PulmOnic Syrup. Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which can
be injurious TO the human constitution.
o. her remedies advertised as cures for Consump-
ton, probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to contne the morbid matter in the
SYSTEM which of course must make cure impossi-
bic.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle of opium: 1t is composed of pow
erfu but harmless herbs which act on the lungs,
liver. stomach and blood and thus correct all NOR
bid secretous and expel all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which Con-
sumption be cured and as Scbenck's Pumonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate III this way. it is obvi
they the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.
