y REMARKABLE OLD MAN. Our Frank
fort correspondent sends us some facts
about a remarkable old man in that town
by the name of William Carr. He is the
son Of a Revolutionary soldier who is
buried at the foot of Mount Waldo, and
is now in his S4th year He has never
used spectacles and his eyesight is still as
good as ever. He has never used tobacco
in any form and never drank liquor since
making profession of religion GO years
ago.
Mr. Carr has always been home body
and has never been farther from the old
house in which he now lives, than Castine
and Belfast. He was never on board a
steamboat and has never rode in or seen
a rail car. He was never sick. and never
had q doctor but once, and that was to
dress wound in his foot He has never
taken any medicine.
MIR. Carr is a very devout man. He
says that when he protested religion sixty
years ago, he had vision of heaven
which lasted some fifteen minutes. He
was a young man and engaged to be mar
ried. From that hour he held that it was
his duty, like St. Paul, to remain unmar-
N~''NN ~
his engagement.
Mr.. Carr's first vote for President was
given to James Madison and he has never
failed to vote the Democratic ticket at
every election, State and National, since
He imbibed his Democratic principles
from his revolutionary father. In appear
ance Mr.. Carr does not seem to be owe,
sixty years old. He still retains all the
vivacity and cheerfulness OF his younger
days. He has but little property; he Ras
never desired to accumulate any more
than was necessary to sustain him in hi.
simple mode of life. He is the very per
sonitication of contentment. In sunshine
and in storm, in the winters cold and thu
summers heat, when the clouds cluster
angrily and darkly around the summit o
Mt. Waldo, and when the waters of thu
meadow dance in the sunlight, he is al
ways the same, like the shepherd of Sauls
bury's Plain. cheerful, happy, Christian
old man. Bangor Commercial.

assert that the President has had in his

that Secretary Fish has, ever since 1869.
inspired numerous newspaper articles on
our affairs with foreign nations, which,
while they have been unsparing in criti-
cism and abuse of the President, have al
so been filled with praise of the Secretary.
These articles are said to have been writ
ten for the most part by Sidney Webster,
Mr.. Fish's son-in-law, who is the attorney
OF the Spanish government, and to have
been printed in one of the most prominent
Democratic newspapers in the country.
1t is also alleged that other evidence Of
Mr.. Fish's duplicity have been accumulat-
ing in the Presidents hands This is one OF
the chief reasons why the early resigna-
ton OF the Secretary is confidently antici-
pated. The discovery very naturally Gre
ates a great deal of talk in diplomatic and
official circles. Those in a position to
know boldly assert that unless Mr.. Fish
speedily retires from the Cabinet the
whole truth will come out. The Secre-
tary himself refuses to say anything in

is all a matter of conjecture. Washburne

Cabinet table, Our Minister to France
is one OF the few men upon whom Grant
always relies in emergencies. A crisis in
our foreign affairs is approaching, and at
such time the counsel of trusty friend
is indispensable. Besides, Washburne is
every inch an American, and, 1t is said,
strongly sympathizes with the Cubans in
their long and terrible struggle. But

or not one thing is certain, we are on the

THOMAS HUGHES, in reviewing in
 the London Academy, MT. Ingersoll's
 Fears for Democracy, remarks: "The study of democracy in America has
 been one of no ordinary difficulty up
 to very recent date. Their political
 literature has been so confident and jubilant, and has SO steadily ignored, or
 treated so lightly the facts which seem- ed of the gravest moment to English
 men, that serious men turned aside
 from it in despair All this is now
 changed The difficulty is rather, now
 adays, to find in the speeches or writ
 ings of the foremost men, or even in
 the newspaper or magazines of Amer
 ica, any of that jubilant talk, which
 used to be so common. as to the abso-
 lute perfection of their institutions,
 and the almost infallible, political wis dom of the fathers This tone, ex- cusable enough in young nation-con- scious of it's own powers, but which
 has never made its proofs '-has grad
 ually disappeared since the war, till,
 at last. our cousins have come to speak
 of their own political and social short comings with frankness and severity
 which is taking the bread out of the mouths of their candid friends on this side of the Atlantic. To their we'll wishers, among whom we desired to be reckoned, the change is full of hope. A nation which on the eve of cen tenary so full of promise as that of the United States, seems bent before all things on probing its own weak places, is giving the surest pledge that itsl manhood will not disgrace its youth. " As regards the vaticinations of Inger- soil, who thinks all the trouble came from the anti-slavery movement, Mir. Hughes disagrees. He thinks the civil war and its issue prove that "un- der all superficial evils of American public life there does exist still a healthy public concience, which, though not easily aroused, when arous- ed, can sweep aside the wire puller's and politicians machinations like cob webs" Traces of the same public he perceives in " the col lapse of the soft-money movement" and ne will be much disappointed if the Presidential election of next year does not give like result.
