Politics for Young Beginners.
POLITICS FOR YOUNG AMERrcANs.-By Charles
Nordhofr New YORK: Harper Brothers.
ours has always been the faith that elementary
American history could better be taught in q
simple iasnion-the letters OF an Old man to
Young one-than in Bancroft's ambitious or
Hlldreths more modest but arid rhetoric. John
wilson Croker, II we mistake not, did this for
English, and Sir waiter Scott certainly did IL Tor
Scottish, story. NO one needs q better narrative
OF Caledonas doings than the letters which
that genial grandfather wrote to poor lame Hugh
Littejohn. But, thinking tnus, II never entered
our lmaginIngs that the same simple process. the
same labors OF love, could be applied TO political
science Mr.. Nordhors charming little volume
shows that It can. and so complete is the sue
cess that we think no one, mature as he may be
and conversant with the familiar or reconu,te
principles which these letters an actual son are
meant TO illustrate, will put down tins book TILL he
has read every word OF 1t. II Is book that should
be In the hand OF every American boy and girl,
and Mr.. Nordnor could not do better work than by
suppiementing 1t with volume, or, IL may be,
series OF volumes, on American history. The mar
rative, even OF our lew centuries, cannot be so
easily compressed, even though with larger theme
Bossues and Won Weber have done II. THIS book
OF Mr.. ordho1's might be learned by heart. Each
word has It's value. Each enumerate section has
It's plth. IL is complete system OF political
science, economical and other, as ap-
piled to our American system. We find
literally no one from which we can dissent
1t is far from being an easy book to review, and
we shall not attempt IL, simply contenting our
selves with calling the authors attention TO one
or TWO matters very minute, worthy, 1t seems to
US. OF reconsideration, We suggest them with
dimdence, MIR. NordhofY, evidently so wen know.

THE MURDER IN ATETS0N.

OF this murder, alluded to in the DESPATCH
es yesterday, the Bangor Wing has th2 fl
lowing particulars;
Saturday morning about 5 O'Clock the
wife Of Mr.. Silas Davis OF Stctson happened
to look out OF the window of their house,
when she saw her husband lying On the
ground in the door-yard and his son, James
L. Davis standing over him, brandishing an
axe. She ran out as quickly as possible, but
only in time TO find Mr.. Davis dead, his head
horribly manglel and the top o. the skull cut
completely Oft through the ears and just
above the eyes-the effect Of blows admnis-
tered with the dull ax,In the hand,bf his son.
She was Of course hGrror- struck and in fear
of her own life, but her son offered her no
violence.
He remained about the house until the ar
ii, al of some neighbors who took him in
charge and removed him to the village. The
murdered man was about 70 years of age
and was much respected in town where he
lad long resided. His son, who has thus
hurried him out of the world, is about 80
years cid. Some time ago he was regarded
as being unsound in mind, and he was sent to
the Insane Hospital at Augusta, but was re-
turned by the authorities there. The neigh
bors say that his father hat! expressed fears OF
violence at his hands, but nothing of the sort
is positively known to have occurred. A
daughter OF the murdered man says that her
brother James has threatened her life, and
once even drove her out Of the house after
chasing her, axe in hand, declaring he would
split her ead. From all these circumstances
it appears that James has been and still is in
sane. Mrs. Davis heard no cutlery, and it is
evident that the crime WAS committed quietly
as we'll as quickly.
The poor insane murderer was taken before
Trial Justice John Rogers, on complaint
made by Charles l.. liammous, to which he
pleaded not guilty. After the examination OF
witnesses, the Justice ordered that Davis be
committed to the Jail in Bangor to await trial
and Deputy sheriff Henry W.Damon brought
him TO this city, arriving at half past ten
o'clock Saturday night.
Davis is of medium height, compact!y
built, has dark or black hair and moustache,
and not unpreposssssing counen&nce. lie
talks freely when interviewed, sometimes
wildly, and then with p0intedoess HAT al
most inspires one with the Neiiet that lie is
sane.

who interviewed him:
