Gov. Allen was not pleased by the reception OF
his speech at Pittsburg Monday night, and he
went right home again, canceling all his remain
ing engagements in Pennsylvania. Gen Samuel
F. Cary is to fill his appointments.
The republicans have elected at least two-thirds
Of the Colorado constitutional convention. Colo
RADIO is to come into the Union, we believe on the
first Of July next, with such constitution as the
people may have accepted by that time.
The election in Baltimore is regarded both by
republicans and democrats as settling the State
election in favor of the reform ticket. The demo-
cratic majority was reduced about $4,000, ard the
vote cast was unprecedented being 10000 greater
than in the last Pre- ,idential election. Last year
the democrats had the entire membership OF both
branches of the City Council. Now the reform
ers have the largest branch. The school question
was an active issue, and although there Is large
Catholic element in Baltimore, it is largely OF
we'll educated and wealthy class, and many OF
these voted against the democratic candidate be-
cause of dissatisfaction with their church for ITS
hostility to the public schools.

FtErTTvC.S THIS WEEK.


To- morrow elections will be held in
Massachusetts, New York, New jersey
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virgins, Nan
sas, Mississippi, Minnesota and Nlscon-
sin. In several of these States there is
considerable degree of excitement, ana
very full vote will be polled in them.
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and New
York have attracted most attention, but
the result in New Jersey, Maryland and
Mississippi will be regarded with interest.
Owing to the depression of business the
republicans, who are unjustly held re-
sponsible for it, have labored at a disad-
vantage in the elections this year, but the
intelligence and honesty of the people is
superior to the artful and base appeals OF
democratic demagogues, and we hope
that the returns this week will be as cheer
ing to the republicans as were those from
the Ohio election. The result will be re-
garded as ioreshadowing to large de-
gree the result of the Presidential election
next year. The democrats have made
poor figure thus far in the elections OF the
year. and we much doubt that they will
receive any encouragement or comfort
from those vet to be held.

4 TERRIBLE TALE.

A year ago last February the barque Jewess o.
Boston sailed from New South Wales in the direc
ton of the Auckland Islands, group which lies il
the South Pacific ocean, near New Zealand.
few days later, the Boston barque Della NJ. Long
and an English barQue, name unknown, followed
on the same course. No tidings of the two Boston
vessels were received in this city till recently, when
Capt. Brewer of Biddeford, Me-, Of barque Mara
thon, New York, returning from voyage round
the world, brought back terrible story in regard
to them.
At one OF the ports at which he stopped he had
fal len in with sailor, or some one who knew him.
who puported to be the sole survivor of the three
crews. The vessels, he said, had become becalmed
in the vicinity of the Auckland Island, and lay
there together several days. They were boarded
overpowered the crews, plundered the ships and
scuttled them. The men were carried prisoners to
the shore, and furnished food for horrible feast
of their captors. No particulars of the fight or OF
the survivors escape were obtained; but the facts
are pretty we'll authenticated, and the long alb
sence Of thei vessels furnishes good ground for
believing the story may be true.
The survivor was one of the crew OF the Jewess,
and he is said to have related that the surprise
was complete. the vessels being some distance
from land and no signs of enemies having been
seen. The usual precauton taken when ship is
becalmed in the vicinity of land inhabited by
savages, is to drive sharp nails placed closely to-
gether through boards, which are placed oven
the decks and fastened firmly down, leaving the
sharp iron points sticking up. 1t is then mpossi-
Bile for the are-footed savages to step upon the
deck, and they are shot off at leisure. This pre-
caution was not taken on board the Jcwess, the
survivor said, because no danger was suspected.
1t is understood that no ship of the nited States
navy is now stationed in the South Sea, or within
reasonable distance of the vicinity where the ter
rible tragedy is credited as having been enacted
The Jewess was nearly 500 tons burden. Captain
Mayo Of Chelsea was the managing owner. Mark
Googins of East Boston. Caleb Eaton and Frank
Lowe were part owners. Frank Lewis Of East
Boston was one of the mates. On the three yes
sells there were probably thirty men, but the name.
Of any cannot be ascertained, most Of them having
been shipped in foreign ports. Time will proba
bly, bring to light fuller particulars Of their horri

Mr. JAMES I. FELLOWS, Chemist.
Dear Sir: In May, 1866, was attacked with q
severe dry cough, which continued in haishness
for some time, when l commenced eNpectorating
a thick, whitish substance, then raised green.h
yellow and slate -colored matter, then bleeding of
the lungs set in, and other symptoms of very
alarming character showed themselves. Iconsrlt-

other cities, who gave me no encouragement, as
my disease was Consumption. | spared eX-
pense to obtain relief, but found none In August
I had fallen in flesh from l55 to 1876 pounds, and
sinking rapidly every day. My friends in Pha-
delpha advised me to leave the ship and go home.
At home they considered my case hopeless, and
wished me to remain there and not die in foreign
country. | visited st. John in October of the
same year on my way to Philadelphia to join my
ship, and was advised by stranger, who noticed
my shHnken form and racking cough, to try your
CompoiAd Syrup Of Hypophosphites; and, as a
drowning man will grasp at straws, saw ray of
hope in the suggestion, and procured bottle.
The effect warranted further trial, and bought
a dozen bottles. and left St. John and have been
knocking about the Atlantic ever since.
As this is the first time l have visited your city
since, feel under an obligation to let you know
the effects produced by this Syrup. I continued
taking the remedy regularly. At first my appetite
improyed-I regained strength-then my cough
gradually left me, and finally the expectoration
ceased; and although the benefit was gradual,
could note the change for the better every day, so
that after having taken ten bottles considered
myself WELL This was about five months from the
time l commenced taking the Syrup. A short
time after had considerable trouble, and feeling
some Of the old symptoms returning, finished the
other two bottles; and now l consider myself as
well as ever was in my life. My present weight
is l62, seven pounds above my usual healthy stan
dard. My nerves are good my appetite good and
general health excellent. l heartily recommend
your Syrup to all persons troubled with any diff
culties or disease Of the Lungs or Nervous System

Hoping this letter may meet the eyes of others
similarly affected, and induce them to use the
same means Of cure, | remain. yours very truly,
