The MUsEUM.-The eileen Oge'' is proving

have an opportunity to sec the lplay, as an ex-
ira car will run after the performance. Should
the experiment pay, an extra car will hereafter
run one evening in each week.

Maine General HOSPITAL.

The welfare of the Maine General Hospital
is dear not only to the people of this city,
but to the people of the state as well. All
will be rejoiced to learn that the institution
has got good start, and that with liberal and
timely assistance from individuals and from
the state 1T can amply fulfil the objects of its
creation, and will realize the hopes entertained
for it by its friends. To be of value assistance
should come now, for in the future the institu-
ton promises to be self-supporting. There is
laudable fashion among people of means of
leaving large requests to the Hospital, and es-
tabishipg free beds. But as people do not in
the majority of instances die as soon as they
make their wills these legacies are of no i'm
mediate avail. Until the endowments grow
larger and the revenues increase funds must be
derived from other sources. Individual gener-
osity has already been heavily taxed, and it is
but right that the state should contribute the
further sum needed to put in high state Of
efficiency an institution which is for the COM
mon good of all. An appropriation by the
legislature now would be much more valuable
than one made year or two hence. The mon
eyIis needed to-day, and a want of it may Grip.
pie the institution in some of its most impor-
tant and necessary departments.
That the institution has already done much
good work is apparent from some statistics
here given.
Since the opening of the hospital 155 patients
have entered. 1877 have been discharged. and 1S
are at present under treatment.
A pathological department has been started,
toward which considerable sum has been
subscribed by members of the staff. The put
ting in of the steam pipes, which is at present
going on, will render the entire building suita-
BILE for the occupation of patients.
Sixty-six per cent. of the cases for treatment
are surgical cases, of which only one.sixth are
from Portland, the rest being generally from
other parts of the state. Of the 155 patients
entered since the opening of the Hospital
twenty-sx per cent. are from Portland. Every
county in the state except Franklin has been
represented among the patients. Of the 1877
discharged from the hospital II have been
cured 30 relieved, 10 not relieved, Is have died,
Is not treated.
There are now four free beds and it is espe-
cially desirable that there should be more.
This matter is commended to the attention of
associations and individuals. The various char
table and relief societies in the state cannot
do better than to endow free beds in the insti-
tuton these beds to be devoted to those of their
members who are in need of medical and surgi.
cal treatment.

CONSERVATIVES TAKE NoTIcE.-Every moment
of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much
depends on the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount Of testimony in favor of DR.. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for consumption far ex-
ceeds all that be brought to support the preten
sions of any other medicines. See DIR. Schenck's
Almanac, containing the certificates !of many per-
lof the highest responsibility, who have been
restored to health after being pronounced ncurabe
by physicians OF acknowledged ability. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as these
evidences will show but the is often promoted
by the employment of two other remedies which DIR.
Sehenck provides for the purpose. Thes additional
remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills. By the timely use of these medicines,
according to directions DR.. Schenck certihes that
most any case of Consumption may be cured.

Grand Lodge, knight. of P,,hias.

The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of
Maine, convened in its annual session at the
Pythian Castle Hall in this city at q O'Clock
last evening, Grand Chancellor Henry O. Pea
body in the chair.
All of the twelve subordinate lodges in the
state were represented by ffty-six Past and
Past Grand Chancelors
Twenty-one Past Chancellors were introduced
and received the Grand Lodge degree.
Grand Chancellor Peabody submitted his an
nual address, from which it appears that not
withstanding the financial depression of the
past year, the growth of the Order has been
steady, uniform and healthy. One new lodge,
Riverside No. Il, at Sanford, has been institute
ed. All the old lodges ara in healthy and
growing condition.
The address abounded in glowing and elo.
quent passages and received the warmest appro-
baton of all present.
From the annual report of the G. K. of R.
& S. Ingersol we gather the following statis-
tistcs:

GRANT AN ACCESSAHSY AFTER
THE FACT,

II one man commits crime ard
another man helps him to conceal it,
or to escape the clutches of the Law,
the man who thus helps is what the
law calls an accessory after the fact,
and as such is punishable according
to the grade of the crime COM
mitted. Blackstone, the great English
law writer, says en- accessory after the
fact is one who, knowing felony to
have been committed, receives, re-
Heves, comforts or assists the felon.
Now, this being the law, if il be true
that Belknap committed the crime of
bribery i'll taking money to influence
his official conduct, and in so doing
committed the crime of perjury by vio-
lating his oath of Office as Secretary of
War, and if it be true that President
Grant, knowing these facts. accepted
his resignation before the House of
Il Representatives could meet, that is to
say at twenty minutes past ten o'clock
in the morning, in order to prevent an
impeachment, the very grave question
recurs, is not President Grant aces-
sary after the fact to the crimes com
mitted by Belknap?
1t is exceedingly difficult to handle
pitch and not he defiled, and it is
equally difficult for a man to associate
with criminals and to save them from
without becoming a Grim
inal also, even though thst man be
President Grant himself, and his ASSOC
ciates be Jail birds, like Joyce and
and men who are not Jail
birds, like Babcock and Belknap.

ported upon ID a week or in month,
nor yet in six months.
But in spite of all this, and in spite
of the carpihgs of friend and foe alike,
the fruit ofthe labors of orr Democratic
House of Representatives is already
abundant. Disdaining not small things
it is yet not afraid to undertake great
things. It has dared to go to the
very White House itself and take
from the very Cabinet one of
the highest officers of the Government
and arraign him before the world as
low, grovelling, sordid, base and per-
inred bribe-taker. And this was done
though the guilty criminal had to be
dragged from the very arms as 1T were
of the President him elf.
Those are faithful pnblic servants who
while they are not ashamed to stop by
the wayside to save few dollars here
and few dollars there, yet dare to tear
guilty criminals from the enclrcllng
arms of the President himself. All
honor then say be to our Democratic
House of Representatives at Washing
ton. We trust we shall hear no more,
Democratic complaints at least, about
the SO called slowness and ineff.
cheney of that Democratic House OF
Representative of ours. Possibly
other portion of the Heavens that now
| look serene and strong may fall to-
morrow or the next day. We shall see
