seized key of black cherry wine, manufac-
tured by W. S. Mains of Windham. The wine
in question was taken from +. Clair. Tho trial
came off to day before the trial justice of Orono
who decided that the wine was not contraband,
and verdict of not guilty was rendered. OF
course the wine was returned to the defendant.
Mr.. Mains, the manufacturer of the wine, plead

SpeechIess One Year-Remarkable Cure
Performed by DIR. HeniOn.

Alonzo Furbelo, 2O7a Congress street, Port
land, has not spoken above a whisper for one
year. He was taken to DR.. Henion at the
Falmouth Hotel, last Tuesday, and the Dr.
gave him his voice in less than three minutes,
simply by handling his,af1icted throat. Such
cures should be evidence enough that DR.. Hen
ion is endowed with magnetic power to won
derful degree; if you are sick do not let your
good judgment be governed by your prejudces,
but call on Dr. Henion, as consultation is free
and you can judge for yourselves.

General Porter, who was tried by court
martial and cashiered in the second year of
the civil wsr, has been attempting for many
years to get rehearing Of his case. He feels
that his trial was not fair that his conviction
was not supported by evidence; that his SEN
tence was grossly unjust; and these conclu.
sions of his seem to be supported by great
body of facts derived in part from the reports
OF the Confederate officers made at the time,
but not accessible on his trial, and partly
from the statements of Union officers who did
not appear before the court martial. General
Porter has, at least, strong prima facie case,
and if injustice was done him in that period
OF fervid, passionate excitement, the duty and
the dignity of the government alike require
that it be rectifed. We print this morning
carefully prepared opinion of the most emf
nent lawyer and profound jurist of the coun-
try on this subject The arguments of Mr..
OConor are entitled to respectful examina-
ton by the President, and the least he can do,
under the new light shed upon this question,
is to reopen the case and allow board of
competent, impartial officers to listen to the
additional evidence and decide upon the ius-
tice OF the sentence. Mr.. O'Conor's opinion.
like everything from his able pen, win COM
mand wide public attention.

The Approaching Total Eclipse OF
the Sun.


Scarcely has tho harvest of observations
from the transit of Venus expeditions been
garnered when the restless spirit of astro-
nomic inquiry is to be diverted to ward the np-
preaching eclipse of the sun. This eclipse
will be total and will occur on the 9Th of next
April, when, according to the English astron-
omer Hind, there will be the best opportunity
for the observation of totality likely to be
offered till toward the close of the century
Although the course of the central line in this
eclipse is principally sea track fine opportu-
mites for observing it will be had during its
passage from the Nicobar Islands, in the Bay
of Bengal, to Siam. The central eclipse, it is
computed, passing from the Nicobars crosses
Bentinck Island, where the maximum period
of totality will be four minutes and seventeen
seconds. At several other adjacent insular
stations the phenomenon will be observable
tor about the same space of time. The King
of Siam has heartily invited British and
other astronomers to make the observations
within his dominions and volunteered to ex-
tend them every facility and hospitality.
Although, in an astronomical point of view,
the observation of q total eclipse is of far less
importance than that of the recent great tran
sit, the former is only secondary to the latter
in general scientific interest The study of
the constitution of the sun and it's coronal
atmosphere, which the spectroscopic examina-
ton of total eclipse affords, is held by the
ablest scientists of the day as of transcendent
importance and as likely to furnish the solu-
ton of many practical and unitarian prob
lens. The climatic changes that occur on the
earth and their bearing on q vast array of
problems connected with navigation, agricul-
ture and health, send the investigator to seek
in the sun for the causes of these changes.
These changes are not irrationally traced to
solar action, if we regard the marvellous reve-
lations Of the spectroscope as to the chemical
nature Of the suns atmosphere The corona,
when seen in clear sky is manifestly q
purely solar phenomenon, produced by an inn
mense body of gas-probably incandescent
vapor of iron-supposed to be erupted from
its glowing surface as fire from the
crater of a terrestrial volcano. The issue
of moist steam from boiler Under ordinary
pressure is known to generate large quantities
of electricity. But how inconceivably vast
must be the torrents generated by the hydro
gen outbursts from the countless solar craters,
supposed to belch forth their flames with q
velocity of hundred and twenty miles an
hour The researches connected with the
several eclipses since 1860 have demonstrated,
by almost complete spectra, that hydrogen
and the iron metals, with probably those of
the alkaline earths, exist in the sun. That
further startling and instructive speotroseopio

The Reassembling OF Parliament.
Parliament reassembled yesterday and the
speech Of the Queen was read This generally
harmless document was on this occasion
especially quiet. The value Of royal speeches
is in what they omit Her Majesty conformed
to the precedents by saying nothing on any
question at all interesting the world. She
assured Parliament that Europe was at peace
and she would endeavor to preserve peace.
She said nothing about the prodigious arma-
ments of France and Germany. The ques-
ton of recognizing Alfonso as King of Spain
was under consideration and would soon be
determined Nothing was said of the charac-
ter of the usurpation which seated the Prince
on the throne, or of the omission to recognize
of Spain, and not the intrigues of group of
priests and generals The speech properly
felicitates the government upon its success in
arresting the Indian famine-an achievement
worthy Of the greatest honor and showing
the marvellous power England Yields over
her empire. 1t is matter of regret that
trade has fallen off and of qualification that
the finances are in satisfactory condition.
Altogether the speech is tranquil document
and indicates o quiet session.
The only event marking the opening of the
session is the retirement of Mr.. Gladstone
from the leadership of the liberal party and
from the stormy scenes of public life. A
liberal party led by the Marquis of Harrington
may be regarded as under bonds to keep the
peace. We cannot conceive an issue upon
which it could take advanced ground. We
presume, therefore, that there will be an
uneventful session, a moderate opposition and
all the forms of party discipline, unless, as is
not improbable, some new issue will arise
"burning" enough to create a new liberal
organization, composed of it, thinking men,
under q true leader, and not under the nomi-
nal command of . respectable, mediocre
young man, who is where he Is simply be-
cause he is the eldest son Of the Duke of
Devonshire.

When Mr.. Sumner was on his deathbed the
last words he uttered to ono of his nearest
friends were these, take care of tho Civil
Rights bill" This whisper was heard yester-
day In the House and answered That mea-
sure, supplementary to the declaration of prin-
ciples in the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the constitution, which the democrats
strove to defeat, which the republicans were
afraid to pass, has at last been approved by
majority which is on the eve of extinction.
The reasons which last year defeated the
Civil Rights bill no longer exist the cleo
lions are over; the republican party has lost
tho game and naturally insists upon having
its revenge.
But this measure, as passed by the House,
Is not that which Mr.. Sumner would have de-
sired The terms of the bill are a compromise
with its central idea. The motion to strike
out all reference to schools was passed by q
large majority. But absolute equality is en-
forced by the bill in respect to inns,
public conveyances, theatres and other
places Of amusement and juries. The
penalties for discrimination of race or color in
AO6OAN w sAA0 EAAvAO8O0 ooCA4
possess are strictly defined, but there is no
penalty appointed in regard to discrimination
in schools A negro may eat in q hotel with
white man may travel on water and land
with white man {; may laugh at Clarke or
Jefferson or Boucicault with . white man
might sit in the jury in the Beecher
case with white man, and may
obtain redress from any one who would
exclude him from these privileges; but he
cannot send his children to common school
unless the laws of his State permit. We do
not say that the exception is an evil; we sim
ply say that the distinction is important. 1t
is the distinction between eating and educa-
ton, between the Shsughraun and the read
ing Of race.
The adoption Of portion Of the national
platform Of the democracy in 1872, as pre-
amble to the Civil Rights bill, is sublime
satire. But no party can complain
when its abstract principles are practi-
cally expressed. The irony Of Time Is some
times as terrible as his destructiveness, and
the democracy reap in 1875 the seed sown by
them in 1872. The bill now passes to the
Senate, and there an effort will probably be
made to amend it in regard to the educational
system Of the Southern States.
