pstriasd Human Bodies in Maine. :

A few days ago the graves of Mr.. and
Mrs. Kidder, at Eddington Pond. were
opened for the purpose OF disinterring
and removing their remains to another
locality. Mrs. Kidder had been dead for
eighteen years, while the body OF the
husband was committed to the earth
forty-three years ago. Owing to the
length Of time which has elapsed, 1t was
not anticipated that anything more than
dust, OF q few bones at most, would be
found. Greatly to the surprise Of those
present, on opening the grave OF
Mrs. Kidder, who was over eighty years
Of age at the time Of her decease, her
body was found as perfectly preserved
and the features as natural as on the
day of her burial. Her hair was of CON
siderable length, but the last vestige of
her grave clothes had disappeared,
leaving q solid petriIaction, not unlike
marble Of grayish tint.
Proceeding next to the grave of Mr..
Kidder, by the side of the other, al
though nearly half century has passed
since he was numbered among the liv-
ing, his body had also turned to stone, of
a deep, rich brown color; but, more sing
ular still, while all the clothing had dis
appeared from the body Of his wife In
eighteen years, his body still retained
| portions OF the cloth in which he was
dressed for the last time, forty-three
years since. In digging for his body no
trace of the box or coffin was found, and
the petrified remains, Of which only the
upper part Of the skull and portions Of
the feet has disappeared, lay in several
inches of water. When first reached,
the workmen supposed they had struck
a stone OF some kind, and the weight Of
the body was, so great that three men
were required to lift it.

The Railroad Question.

During the discussions with
which we have been regaled both on
and off the stump, relative to this all
absorbing topic, we have been steadi-
ly drifting away from the subject un-
der consideration. Starting out with
the broad proposition of seeking the
best means to secure measure, dear
to the hearts of every one wishing to
witness the prosperity and develoment
of our Southern counties, the speedy
construction of a railroad along the
Thirty parallel, the leaders of
our respective parties have manipula-
ted the subject until it has dwindled
down to the question, whether or not
Tom SCOTT shall build it; and has
even wandered off still further and the
railroad and even the powerful rail-
way magnates are both forgott on for
the momentin the all absorbing issue,
whether Mr.. HoUGHToN or Mr.. WIG
CLINTON shall assist in its construction.
What the people of our Southern coun-
try desire most is trans-continental
road along the thirty-second parallel
a road construc ted upon the cheapest
and most expeditions plan. We don't
care who builds it. If Tom SCOTT can
come up to requirements-can do the
work better, cheaper, and with great
er celebrity than any one else, let him
pitch in and do it; no one is holding
him. Ifany one else is able to accom-
plish the same end with greater adj
vantages to US, why should we have
any objection to their constructing the
road? What we most want Is direct
communication with the East along
this line, and whoever will undertake
the enterprise and carry it to speedy
completion Is deserving of our support
and gratitude. This talk about mo-
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-09-01
Vote For Houghton ?-..Why g?

Because he has sent all his back pay
into this county to secure his election.
Because HoUGHToN introduced the
bill intended by the Southern Pacific
Railroad to leave Los Angeles outside
their main line and to prevent the
construction of the Independence Rail-
road or to force Los Angeles city to
pay them heavy additional tribute of
"black-mai."
Because HoUGHToN tells us he did
not know what the substance or in
tent of that bill was when he introdu-
ced it; and if he did not he is the
most incompetent of all known Repub-
lican Congressmen-ifh he did he simp-
ly uttered falsehood.
Because he insults the intelligence
of his entire constituency by his re-
peated public declarations that he is
not in the pay or interest fthe Central
and Southeren Pacific Railroad, when
his whole Congressional record places
him squarely and Enthusiastically in
that position.
Because he Is spending more than
his salary for his entire term, in secur-
ing his election, and must therefore
look to the Southern Pacific Railroad
for his reward; the Southern Pacific
Railroad will look to HoUaHToN's dis
trict to "get even," and we of Los An
geles county will have the delightful
satisfaction of paying our share of the
cost of his election and Of what he may
demand for his services, with liberal
profit on the whole transaction for the
part the Southern Pacific Railroad
will play in it.
Because the magnates of the South
ern Pacific Railroad have just travelled
from San Francisco to San Diego, os-
tensibly to show that WIGGINToN
was "their man." and thus rob hi m of
votes, but really to elect S. o. HoUGH-
TON, the man they have always own
ed and will own as long as he remains
in Congress.
Because if farmer, merchant or
any other man in Los Angeles county
(save the small fry HoUGHToN poll
ticians) addresses HoUGHToN for in
formation or upon business during the
session of Congress, he cannot get the
honor even of a reply to his commu-
nication.
Because he voted to increase the
tax on grape brandy; measure which
takes thousands of dollars from the
grape growers ofSouthern California.
Therefore, vote for HoUaHTON and
'save the country"

Of tickets have been printed. This is
the most contemplate trick yet un-

nopoly, out of which so much capital
is made, is all nonsense. Any one who
has studied the history of railroad
warfare is perfectly cognizant of the
fact that they invariably terminate in
an understanding and compromise be-
tween the belligerents, by which fares
and freights are advanced beyond the
rates charged at the commencement
of the contest. There is one thing up
on which we can most certainly de-
pend, and that is that by whomsoever
this line is constructed, it will eventu-
ally become monopoly. There will
be an understanding between it and
the Central Pacific which win inure to
their mutual benefit at the expense of
the people. The only way In which
this evil can be met and overcome is
by the people concentrating under the
standard of "down with monopoly"
and electing to the several legislative
bodies, honest men, pledged to enact
just and equal laws between these
powerful corporations and the people.
We can hope to accomplish this end
by no other means. And 1t is not, or
should not be, question as to who
shall build the railroad, but who
will construct it most economically,
cxpeditiously, and to the best interest
ofourSouthern country. Viewing the
subject from this public spirited stand
point, can you knowingly and willing
ly support and encourage with your
suffrage a man who acknowledged
here in your midst that he was bound
to the Tom SCoTT clique, and whose
whole public career is characterized
by his sevitude to the Central Pacific,
and his enmity to your interests. Or
will you not rather vote for one who
is the slave of no corporation, but has
pledged himselfto earnestly labor for
the advanceme ent of the best and most
honest measures for the speedy con-
struction of this great Southern route.
by whomsoever the enterprise may be
undertaken. Thus far Mr.. WIGGIN-
TON has pledged himself; he could not
do less ane have your interest at
heart; he could not promise more and
act honestly by himelf and as your
representative.

Another Trick.

The following comes from the Dem
ocratic State Central Committee un-
der the head of Democrats, be on
Your Guard"
We are advised upon reliable author
ity that is the intention of the Inde-
pendent party, on election day, to tel
egraph to all the prominent polling
places which can be reached that the
Republicans and railroad men have
combined for the purpose of electing
the Democratic ticket. This dodge
will be for the purpose of distracting
the Democratic vote, and thereby
strengthening the Independent ticket.
Should this move be made, which we
are assured Is fact, denounce 1t as a
fabrication and falsehood, gotten up
for the purpose of weakening the De-
mocracy and acquiring votes thereby.
Should this or any other kindred
action be resorted to, denounce them
all alike and telegraph to our head
quarters for information. The victory
Is ours beyond question.
