FOOTE AS A MARKsMAN.-Judging from the
following story, which the Vicksburg (Miss)
Herald tells, that paper has not a very high idea
of "Hangman'' Foote'S ability as sharp
shooter, when leaden bullets and not words are
used. 1t says: "He is the most wretched shot
ever seen in Mississippi, and we do not believe
that he could hit the Treasury Building in
Washington to-day with adouble-barreled shot
gun at the short range of forty PAGES! for, while
no one ever questioned his courage, he was
never able, in all his multitudinous duels, to hit
any human being that he fired at. The late S.
S. Prentiss understood the Governor and his
random style of firing thoroughly. On one of
the occasions on which they had hostile meet
ing on the peninsula opposite the city-tbey
had two-there was a large crowd present. in
Guiding goodly number of boys, from twelve
to fifteen years of age, who had run away from
school and crossed the river to witness the fight
These boys, after brief survey of the situation
sagely concluded that they could see better
from the limbs of some adjacent trees, and pro-
ceeded at once to select their perches. When
the principals came forward and took their po-
sitions, and as the pistols were being placed in
their hands preparatory to business, Mr.. Prem
tiss discovered number of boys clinging like
flock of blackbirds to the upper limbs of a tree
near him. As he caught sight of them bright
smile rppled at once from lips to eyes, and
gave to his face that joyous and genial expires
sion which, once seen, was never forgotten.
With his eyes dancing with humor, and in his
merriest tones, he sangout: Look out up there,
bows! You had better come down here near
me- Gen. Foote is mighty wild shooter! In
the exchange of shots which followed, Gen.
Foote was seriously wounded, but he and his
distinguished opponent soon became good
friends, and SO remained until the most glorl-
GUS intellect on this continent was auencbed in

JUDGE RUSSELL who has has for several

Representatives Butler and Hooper and that
the balance of the delegation from Massa-
count says that all of the Massachusetts,
representatives except Mr.. Dawes agreed to
the nomination or not to oppose it. The
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Advertiser says that Speaker Blaine was
active in securing the appointment for the
not very good reason that Mr.. Simmons is
his cousin. The Advertiser editorially con-
dennis the nomination in unqualified terms
on the ground that Mr.. Simmons is rep

Temperance Mass Meeting.

To THE TEMPERANCE MEN OF MAINE.
While it is conceded by the people of the State that
prohibition has become the settled policy of legisa-
tom and that the dram shop has been outawed, and
while the advocates of prohibition have and do still
control the executive offices OF State and county, it
must be admitted that in many localities intemper

the increase. The public sentiment, which through
the elective franchise, enacted the prohibitory laws
and In almost every municipality dictates the
tive officers, would be sufficiently potent to
secure their thorough ana impartial enforcement.
But in many instances and with many officers, this
does not seem sufficient and they use the illogical
plea that 'pnblic sentiment, although expressed in
the CHOICE will not sustain them in the performance
OF sworn duty. Assuming to become expounders in
