We read that man was arrested
in Rutland, Friday, for "abusing" his

court, "and had the costs tackled

done, as the wife was not there TO COM

tices of the peace to assume rather cxtraor-

state to be unconstitutional, but that they
should, in effect, find the accused person
not guilty of the charge preferred against
him, and yet "taclle" the costs to him,
is little too preposterous for belief. We
trust that country justices, accustomed to

that the quoted decision is good law, or that
we ever elect justices who are fools enough
to attempt to make respondents pay costs
under such circumstances. Whatever Rut-

THE SUGAR COATED PILL WORKS

The republicans of Pennsylvania, in state
convention assembled, have forced from
his obstinate silence Ulysses S. Grant, by
the grace of God and tho will of the Ameri-
can people as expressed nearly three years
ago, president of the United States. Such
wonderful feat has never been perform
ed by mortal man only once before. That
was accomplished by newspaper man"
of Clncinnati-yet how different, with
some shades of similarity, the utterances
Now he says 81 am not, nor have l ever
"been a candidate for denomination" We
may remark in passing that the Indianapo-
lis Journal, speaking presumably in the
name and by the authority of Oliver p.
Morton, says :" There exists not shad-
low of doubt that Gen. Grant does desire
" a third term" And Henry Wilson said:
There was no doubt but what Grant
" wanted a third term, and that he GER
4" tainly would be u candidate unless the
" country spoke out very emphatically
" against it," A strict construction of Ian
guage might reconcile the apparently con-
Trajectory statement of the president on
one side, and the vice president and senator
on the other, as will be seen, 20 we pass on
to this last letter, wherein, continuing, he
says: 81 wonld not accept nomination
" ii it was rendered unless it should come
"under such circumstances as to make il
an imperative duty" He says, to be
sure, that these circumstances arc NOT
likely to arise" but that is because the
Pennsylvania republicans have spoken.
What these circumstance" are or might
he, we can infer, and only infer, from the
context and from his Cincinnati letter.
Let us briefly inquire as to the "circum.
stances" which may, but are nop "not
likely to arise" General Grant has been
twice elected president, and has served one
full term and more than half of another,
has he not He says so, and we appre-
bend that the people of this country have
at least, an indistinct impression of that
kind. Yet he says, in this last letter: "In
the first place, never sought the office
for second nor even for a first nomina
"tion," which, we take it, is only another
form of saying that he was never candi
date for a nomination. But he accepted
did he not He further says Without

In speaking of the necessity for peace,
Cancellation, pure politics, a sitting of
sectional bitterness, and the driving out Of
corruption, our member of congress, in his
Grafton at Manchester, Decoration Day,
says: "The question before us now is not

care for yourself, if you do care for tho
country, we beseech you to let self ant
country "slide," and spare the feelings Of
these editors. To be sure two other Rut
land men uttered similar sentiments ON the
same day, but what is judge or clergy
man supposed TO know about such things
and then how would you like 1t yourself,
if in the place of these editors, to have q

The Excessive Rainfall.

Few persons, comparatively speaking,
have a correct notion of the significance
Of the expression, IAN inch of rain"
Under ordinary circumstances IAN inch
Of rainn does not fall in week, although
there may have been succession of heavy
showers The amount of rainfall can
not be estimated by the depth of pools of
water in badly-graded streets or by the
miniature cataracts which rush through
the cutters after thunderstorm Rain
falling continuously to the depth of one
inch would render many of our highways
temporarily impossible, and would flood
the cellars in the lower districts of the
city. Between the years 1870 and 1915
the greatest amount of rain which ever
fell in this city during the month of
August was 1886 inches, or nearly nine
inches and one half. In August, 1874,
the rainfall only amounted to about three
and one-quarter inches; in August, 1878,
10 about four inches and one-eighth, and
in August, 1871, to about five inches and
half. The amount of rain which has
fallen in this city during the present
month Is already nearly ten inches, and
the heavy storm clouds have not
vet disappeared from the sky. Any eX-
a downfall of rain is interesting. The
officer in charge of the Signal Bureau in
New York says, according to morning
journal, that two months ago winds were
observed blowing across the Gulf of
Mexico into the Southern States. These
winds carried with them great quantities
of moisture, and, passing over the Appala-
chan range to the Allegheny Mountains,
forced the moisture into a colder stratum
of air where it, was condensed and con-
verted into rain. The southerly winds
which have prevailed recently have, &C
cording to this explanation, waited the
rain clouds northward to our shores. 1t
is satisfactory to learn from The same
authority that cool atmospheric wave is
advancing toward us from the northwest,
and that there is prospect of cooler and
drier weather in store for us.-N. Y. EUen-
ing Post.

A recent story brought to Portland
Me, by the crew of the schooner Emily
Holden which is said to have struck the
sea- serpent off Martinicus on the 22d ult.,
goes to confirm the statements hitherto
made as to the reality of the monsters eX-
iStence and his immense size, The fin of
the monster was seen 500 yards off, and,
as the schooner neared him, he reared
from the water a head that for shape is
described az a cross between that of an
eel and whale The neck for about ten
feet from the head was as big and as near
" round as large barrel, and just behind
it began the fin. The schooner struck
him Just aft of the fin and Immediately he
dove with the quickness of flash and
nothing mere was seen OF him, though
the schooner cruised about. The blow of
the serpent's tail against the vessel as he
went down was evidently not a hard one
for him, but it made the craft tremble and
shook the crockery in the closet.
