THE FUeRing Star says:

CAT the same time it may be remarked that
some of our contemporaries seem to be making
themselves unnecessarily unhappy over the
absurd idea of JEFF s return to the Senate. In
the first place, it is to be presumed the De-
mocracy of Mississippi are not such hopeless
idiots as to entertain SO suicidal an idea for
moment; in the next place, JEFF Davis has not
lived in Mississippi for ten years; and thirdly
and conclusiyely, he is not eligible by reason of
his disfranchisement."
We have seen much ''sicker children nor
that cured" How many Of our present
Senators and Representatives have had their
disabilities removed since their election?
How long would it take JEFF Davis to re-
move from Memphis to Jackson or his old
home in Mississippi? 1t could be done
several times between now and the meeting
of the Legislature that shall choose a sue
cessor to Senator Alcorn. As to the pre-
sumed idiocy of Mississippi Democrats, we
think that they are constantly giving the
most indubitable evidence of it. What else
but practical idiocy could have dictated the
course they have just pursued toward the
labor system of the State? They have,
according to the Stars own admission,
disfranchised, through intimidation and
violence, over 40, 900 of the laborers of that
State, and thus taken the initiatory step
toward expelling those laborers from the
soil. None but idiots-moral idiots, who
own the soil and complain that they have
TO pay taxes upon it-wOuld thus deprive
themselves of their only means of making
those lands productive. Agricultural lands
untitled are the most burdensome and IN
profitable property in the world. The day
has passed in this country when labor can
be DISTINGUISHED and retained in the same
place in productive employment 1t will
seek mole congenIal fields on the broad
homestead acres west of the Mississippi,
where the laborer, howsoever poor he may
be, can have the benefit of the pre-emption
and homestead acts. The most suicidal and
idiotic policy the South can pursue is that
of the oppression of its labor.

A few months ago Governor Tilden branded
the Port Schuyler work as thing full of fraud
and rank with corruption, and now it is shown
beyond the peradventure of a doubt that he
has since co-operated in paying 100000 on the
same work, which fact, having been quite ex-
tensively circulated, assisted materially in re-
versing the tidal wave of last year.

knocked for admission. "Madam," J" said he,

Tony PASTOR TRoUPE.-City Hall was
crowded last evening by an unusually fine au-
dience. The programme was long and varied,
and the entertainment did not conclude until
after eleven o'clock. Tony Pastor, the chief
Of the company, was as usual very funny in
his songs and was repeatedly called out. The
Fieldings, the Irish comedians, are excellent
and have very fine voices. Miss Jennie Nor.
gan, the vocalist, was very pleasing in her
songs and ballads and was called out several
times Sanford and Wilson, the Ethiopian
stars, were the best that has been here for
years. The Linton brothers are good gym.
nasts. Gus Williams is as ever the leading
Dutch comedian on the stage. Carrie and
Charles Austin in their zouave drill called
forth loud applause. Their manuel of arms is
something wonderful for children of their age.
The entertainment concluded with the farce
entitled 'The Dutchman on a VISIT This
troupe gives the best entertainment of any
company of the kind travelling.

Since he has been IN New York he has made
the most earnest effort of his life to earn some-
thing more than his expenses, that he might
pay every dollar that he owes in the state of
Maine. May he have success in this honorable

Mr.. CARPENTERS BENEFIr.-A Fryeburg
correspondent writes that the benefit given
last Thursday evening to Mr.. Carpenter on the
occasion of his OConnell lecture was a most
brilliant and successful affair." The church was
filled by as attentive and intelligent an audi
ence as is rslely seen in this community. The
thorough familiarity Of the lecturer with his
grand theme, his intimate knowledge of the
great legal lights among which he shone pre-
eminent, and the sympathy which an appreci-
ative fellow countryman brought to his sub
ject, lent additional charm to his finished de-
scriptions and grandly eloquent periods. Mr..
G. was much gratfied by this friendly express
sion of feeling on the part of the Fryeburg peo
pie. Previous to the lecture quartette of
singers entertained the audience with several
pieces of vocal music. We motto ced, in the au-
dience, several Portland people, who make it a
point to be in Fryeburg on every occasion
when Mr.. Carpenter lectures Mr.. 9. speaks
in New York on January 9th, in Bridgton to
night and in course to open here. Any asso-
citation may deem itself fortunate that secures
a lecture from. Mr.. Carpenter.

Observation-Disclosures for this opera are
selling rapidly and full house will witness
the performance tomorrow evening" The
scenes are laid in Babylon, where the Jews had
been carried into captivity by Nebuchadnezzar,
seventy years before. Cyrus had been for two
years besieging the city. Nabonidas was king,
but he was with his army fighting the enemy,
and the riotous Belshazzar was ruler, with
Nitrocis the Queen Mother, as co-regent, in
the kings absence, and Daniel was third ruler
Of the kingdom. The court had become fear
fully depraved and corrupt. Under this new
regime Daniel was humbled. and for many
years was not received at court. Zerubbabel
was local ruler of the Jews, appointed by Neb-
uchadnezzar 1t is supposed that secret and
seryiceable leagueswas maintained between the
Persian leader outside and the expectant ex-
lies within the city and that Cyrus was kept
well informed of all that passed. The scene of
thesgrand festival is shown, and the consterna-
tion of Belshazzar at the writing on the wall,
the failure of the Magi or wise men to in
terpret it, the Interpretation of it by Daniel,
the capture of the city, the staying of the i'm
pious ruler and the liberation Of the Jews and
the thanks to the Gods for Furnishing the wick
ed king, form the basis of the argument

A REPORT is published among the news items
in the Portland PRESS of Friday that Secreta-
~ of State Stacy was recently arrested in Hal
lowell for drunkenness and disturbance, and
quieted the matter by the payment of ten dol
lars. Mr. Stacy informs us that there is no
foundation for the charge, and that it probably
grew out of the following circumstances: On
Tuesday evening, the 3lst of August. Mr..
Stacy had occasion to drive t, HallowelI. 1t
was after eight o'clock and very dark. Just
this side of the railroad bridge on Water street,
Mr. Stacy's carriage ran into another carriage
that was standing at right angles across the
street, while the horse attached thereto was
drinking from watering trough by the road
side. 1t being very dark Mr.. Stacy did not OBJ
serve the carriage. The owner of the carriage,
Mr. Trask, demanded payment of damage to
his vehicle, but Mr.. Stacy Informed him, in
rather forcible language, that the damages
would come in another direction, and that he
should bring an action against him for obstruct-
ing the highway. There is no doubt that roug b
language was used on both sides; but Mr.. Stacy
assures us that he has paid no tep dollars to
s'quiet the affair."" and that no legal action has
been taken, nor does any cause exis. for such
action, except it may be brought against Mr.
Trask for obstructing the highway. The per-
son in this city who harnessed Mr. Stacy
horse on the occasion referred to, and who saw
him on his return, is ready to testify that Mr..
Stacy was not at all under the influence of
liquor.-Kennebec Journal.

The NATIONAL GAME.-A friendly game Of
base ball was played Saturday between the
mines of the two separate High Schools in
Wells. The "Beach" High School, taught by
Mr. Towle, member of the senior class at
Dartmouth, was victorious by score of % to
12. The other, termed the "Ridgo'' High
School, is taught by Mr.. L. A. Stanwood of the
junior class at Bowdoin. The game was UNI
pired by Mr.. f. 0. Baston, Principal of the
North Berwick High School. The nine at the
"Ridge" has been but recently organized, and
the result of the game was an agreeable sur
prise to them. There are many college stu
dents teaching in this vicinity and we have yet
to hear of any dissatisfaction manifested. The
people of Wells have always been fortunate in
their choice of teachers as the present stand

THE MUsEUM.-The audience at the Museum
last night was small owing to the attractions
elsewhere. The play was the Willow Copse
and it abounds in pathetic passages and effec-
tive situations. Mr.. Arnold as Luke Fielding,
was vely successful and left little to be desired
His portrayal of the grief of the old man when
he learns of his daughters dishonor, was fine
bit of acting. Miss Waldron's success as Rose
Fielding was equally marked. She manages
her voice admirably, and though physically un-
demonstrative, always makes her power felt
upon her audience. Mr.. Norris was somewhat
lacking in force Mr.. Curtis was irresistably
funny as Staggers. and Miss Preston made a
capital Meg. Snyder and Switzerland made an
excellent brace of villains. The other charac-
ters do not call for special mention.
The play will be repeated tonight, when it
will undoubtedly have larger audience
