can Senators held a caucus to-day with

President power to suspend the writ of
habeas corpus for a limited period under
certain circumstances. A joint caucus of

The Arkansas Message

is still the subject of much comment. Gov
ernOr Brooks, who is here, is jubilant, and
afrirms that as soon as Congress adjOurns,
the President will install him IN the Office
of Governor, by the aid Of the military.
The best friends of the President are non
plused, and evidently downcast. There
are many who think they see in the
circumstances, a purpose on the part
of the President to provoke the people of
Arkansas to an open conflict with United
States troops, if possible, and then declar-
ing that a new rebellion has been inaugu-
rated, place the entire South under the
control Of the military, and then force such
a war. All for the double purpose of saving
the Republican party and securing himself
a third term.

Among the stories we may note the
following: "The Price Of Her Folly"
illustrating the mischief which comes
from the flirting of married ladies';
"Lady Romaine's Dame de Com

ing the result of female wilfulness;
"Madge's Sacrifice" apretty story OF
girlish generosity; "a Terrible We'd
ding Trip" "An Old Sea Story" ',Her
Letter." a well-told story in verse;
"Monsieur S'Amuse," q touching little

among the more solid matter we
may specify "England's Folly-Amer-
ica's Warming in which John Smith
gives the sad history of the English
resumption of specie payments in 1923,
which all the advocates of speedy re-
sumption would do well to read; as
Prayer of Any Use?" in which this i'm
portant question is considered by
Henry Peterson, in opposition to the
views of certain leading editors and
Professor Tyndall; an interesting ac-
count of Socrates; "Superstitions

Death Of "Madam Zenora."

BALTIMORE, March 26.-The Port
Tobacco Independent says: Colonel
Richard Thomas, generally known as
"Madame Zenora," died suddenly last
Wednesday night at the residence of
his brother, James Thomas, in st
Mary's county, Maryland. Colonel
Thomas became very conspicuous in
the early part of the late civil war by
the capture of the steamer st. Nicho-
las. He took passage in the steamer
aU Baltimore disguised as a French
lady, and at night, assisted by a few OF
his men on board, ARRESTED the cap
tain and officers of the steamer and run
her to Fredericksburg, Virginia. After
the war, he resided some years in
Paris, but returned to this country
about two years ago.

CHARLEsToN, s. g., March 26.-The
legislature adjourned sine die to-day.
Governor Chamberlain vetoed the
bill TO declare the true intent and
meaning of the funding net of 1878.
The main ground Of the veto Of the
bill Is that II Is not in harmony with
the settlement of the public debt under
the funding act, which the governor,
in accordance with his pledges, feels
bound 10 sustain. The vetoed bill pro-
posed to require the interest on the
old bonds and stocks of the state to be
funded up to the date Of the funding Of
such bonds and stocks, while under the
funding act the interest Is funded only
to January, 1874, and is paid in money
from that date. Governor Chamber
lain declares that the funding or con-
solidation of the old debt Is now going
on with gratifying rapidity. The gov
ernor also says the duty of standing
firmly by the present settlement of the
public debt is paramount to every
other consideration. The veto was sus-
tanned after sharp debate, all the con-
but one voting against the
bill.

You are earnestly and cordially invited to

to assist in forming an organization by means

not be said that the laborers are few.

Fow is the opportunity and let it not be said
that the hearts of the daughters OF Maine have
crown cold and they will not hear.
II has been decided to hold meeting of wo-
men on the camp ground, on Saturday at
o'clock d. m. in the tabernacle, when address
will be delivered by Mus. Annie Witten-
meyer, and Miss Francis e. Willard, President
and Secretary of the National Union. This
meeting is for the purpose of forming q Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union in Maine,

A Long Farewell.

Apparently the time has come to bid long
farewell to Judge Kelley. The worth of the
man and the weight of his services in the
past occasion natural feeling of regret that
he and the Republican party have reached
point beyond W hich they can no longer travel
together with any pleasure in each others
society. Certainly the views held by the en-
inent Pennsylvania cannot be entertained
for moment by man who purposes here
after to march in the ranks of the hard d-money
party. Judge Kelley acknowledges this and
slowly and shame-facedly, as becomes a man
of sensibilty who puts away the old love
preparatory to taking up the new, waves a
reluctant farewell to the Republicans, and
goes over to the Democracy. It is not in our
hearts to blame him. When in the course of
can no longer affiliate with the political orga-
nization with which he has heretofore acted,
it is better for him and for them, for his self
respect and their discipline, that he should
dissolve all connection with them. This has
come to pass with Mr.. Kelley. He finds in
the Ohio Democratic platform near ap-
proach to his views. He sees in Governor
Allen strong advocate of the financial doc
trines which he holds, and naturally and in
evitably he leaves the party with which he
has been associated and goes over 10 the rag
money Democracy.
He can do nothing less. A man who
thinks and says that the ruffianly "tramps"
who infest the East are industrious and
well-meaning mechanics, robbed Of their en-
ployment by vicious legislation, and forced
from shame to beg or starve," has no proper
place in the Republican party. A legislator
who prophesies that labor in this country is
to take capital by the throat, and that the
horrors of the French revolution are to be
repeated, can only find fellowship with the
Communard hordes of Sam Cary. The fa-
ther of the nterconvertble bond scheme, a
scheme worthy only of Democratic financial
wisdom. must act with that ''howling mob''
of infatonists which William Allen is roar
ing at in Ohio.
So we make our adieuX to Judge Kelley.
and in the spirit of the good old injunction,
speed the parting guest. Take him. NJ.
Argus, take him, and may you both be hap
py. On second thought take Ben Butler too.
He is.packing his trunks preparatory to pay
ing you long visit. Take them both, and
heartily welcome.

Alta Allen, who died in Charleston, Vt,
many years ago, was said to be the LATEST man
in town. He liked fishing, but was too lazy to
twitch whep he had bite. Re owned a horse
and trotting gig, and used to fish in the Clyde
river where it runs along beside the road.
When he went fishing he would sit 10 his gig,
throw his line into the stream, and when he got
a bite. start up his horse, and, in that way,
hook them without the trouble of twitching.

MONDAY the monument to Hermann, the

spot where the legions of Varus were cut to
pieces eighteen hundred years ago. The hero
of the revolt against Rome has become to
modern Germans the symbol and representa-

of the unveiling was fixed upon the anniver-
sary of the battle of Gravelotte, a battle
which rendered that unity possible.
