BIG MAJoRrT1Es IN MAINE

The election on Monday in Maine, resulted
in the success of Conner, for Governor, over
Talbot Democrat, by majority ranging
from $4,000 to 10000. Every effort was made
by the Democrats to reduce the majority -
Yet the Republicans have largely exceeded
their majorities of the past three years and al
most come up to The large majority of 1872,
whenthe election on the part of the Democrats
was not earnestly contested.
Every Congressional district has been car.

TRAINS FOR NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-12-14

NJ. De Molinairi, clever journalist,
thus describes the average American
city: All American cities are built upon
the same plan, that of a chess board; all
the streets have nearly the same breadth,
the same aspect and the same names
generally the names of trees or of illus
trious men. Everywhere, for example,
you will find Washington Street and
Lafayette Street, crossing at right angles
avenues which have numbers and not
names. All the houses and public edifices
look alike; the hotels are built after the
same colossal model, SO that, after hav-
ing passed a night in sleeping car, you
wake up in another city long distance
away and have difficulty in realizing
that you have changed places at all.
The hotel at which you arrive has the
same columned entry as the one left the
evening before, the same Office opposite
the door, the same cigar stand, news
paper stand; the same elevator, with
mirrors; the same entries with red car
pets, the same bar, the same dining room,
where you are served by the same look
ing negroes, who invite you to seat by
the same signs; and when you go out
you find the same ticket Office at one side,
where they sell you the same railway
tickets, and at the corner the same drug
gist with his soda water fountain. Who
was it that said France was the country
of unity? If unity is found anywhere it
is in the United States, and it must be
confessed that this unity considerably
simplifes the work of travelling.

"My daughter keeps my farm ac-
counts, sir, and she is as systematic and
particular as ever my son was, who kept
them before he left home. l tell you it
does girls (and he might have added
boys also) good to give them some re-
sponsibility, and set them to watching
things about the farm and household.
They learn, 1 find, economy by it, and
soon discover that their father is not ne
cessarily Grabbed old curmudgeon be-
cause he doesn't loosen his purse-string
whenever they see something they hap
pen to fancy, for they discover the real
reason why the purse should not be
opened" So said progressive farmer,
kind appreciative and proud father,
and big-hearted man on general prin-
ciples.

The South Carolina Interference.

New York HeraldI
1t ought to be remembered that the
little interference of the President with
troops in South Carolina has no relation
to the Electoral vote of the State and
can find no plea therefor. The troops
were used by the President to control, by
the force of bayonets, the organization
of the State Legislature. Federal
soldiers took possession of the State.
house, admitted TO the Legislative Hall
such persons as General Grant choose to
admit, and kept out those whom it did
not suit his purpose to let in.
Now, where in the Constitution does
the President find authority given him
members of the State Legislature His
duty is to "protect a State against in
vasion or repress violence. There has
been no violence in South Carolina, as
every body knows. There has not even
been a threat of domestic violence"
although the Constitution is careful to
warrant no interference on the mere ex-
cuse of threats. Where, then, does the
President get his authority? And if in
so grave matter as this he has acted
without authority must he not be re-
sponsible? If he may post troops
in the South Carolina State-house, and
take upon himself, or delegate to any
other person, to decide who are and who
are not members of the South Carolina
Legislature, why shall he, or some sue
cessor of his, not do the same thing in
New York, or in Massachusetts, or in
Ohio? When Federal soldiers removed
from the Louisina Legislature in 1874
members pointed out to them by an
agent of Governor Kellogg, the public
resented the outrage, but the President
was not held to his responsibility for a
clearly unconstitutional act, because it
was said there was no danger that it
would ever be repeated. To-day we see
it repeated.
Nor is this all. So unjust and mex
cusable was the Presidents violation of
the Constitution in his interference in
Louisiana that a Republican Congress
felt itself forced, by public opinion and
by the facts developed on an iuyestiga-
tion, to replace in their seats the very
man whom the Federal troops had by
bayonets expelled from the Legislature.
In spite of this warning and exposure,
in spite of protests from the most emil
nent men of his party, General Grant,
after two years, .once more sends troops
to take possession of State-house, and
once more assumes to decide who are
and who are not members of a Ilegisla-
ture. Thus, for second time, he sets a
precedent which can surely no longer
be held without peril. If such lawless
acts are overlooked to-day who shall as
sure us that under another President or
another party these precedents will not
lead to interference nearer home?

An incident of the scourge of yellow
fever which recently visited Savannah is
worthy of special mention. When the
dreaded disease broke out, the owner of
a certain drug store left the city, fol-
lowed by his entire force-all except the
book-keeper and young prescription
clerk called Charley, who quietly con-
tinued putting up prescriptions. At last
the book-keeper fed, and the proprietor,
by letter, ordered Charley to close the
shop, his friends in Augusta urging him
at the same time to come to them. But
he said, " Somebody must give medicine
to these people; Pll not leave work,"
and went to the other drug store and
worked there day and night. By and by
the owner of the store took the fever and
died, Charley nursing him. His cook
took the fever, and young friend.
Charley nursed them both until they re-
covered, giving out at the same time
thousands of prescriptions daily. He
wrote to his mother, "I have not had
time to take off my clothes for weeks"
After his patient was up Charley took the
fever. His friend, still weak from illness,
.nursed him in his turn, telegraphing
twenty times to his friends in Augusta.
The last kilograms were, " I will stick to
him to the last" "I will not sleep to-
night But he did sleep. The next
morning the two brave lads were found
together-dead. Why do we tell their
story? Siaply because their chance for
noble death and great deed in dying
may come to any one of us. In old
times men won renown by deeds of
bravery in arms. Nowadays only plain,
hard duty is called for. Poets and 70
mancers sing of Roman courage and
medieval chivalry, but we should like
American boys to look into the secret Of
this plain matter-of-fact duty and the
doing of it, for in that often lies true he

Not that she thought me gentleman's son. of
course,
I'd never go there riding, with gig or horse,
But somehow kept under my werkin' ways and
talk,
And I'd never notice the common lads in my walk.
P'rhaps let on that had farm at the least,
For could talk knowiR' bout any barn-yard beast,
And bees an the like, an crops of barley an rye,
And of seeds an roots had come there to buy.
She was delicate, purity, Iady-like little thing,
With cheek like the blush on a rose; there's a
shinin' ring
OF her yellow hair in my Bible; keep it so,
Cause it kinder draws me to read the good Book,
you know.
So married Barbary-she went home wi me the

face;
It's the deceiving mind, dear, 'tisn't the work

Them's Just her words, and wanted to die in my
shame;
"You got me with lying" her look meant exactly
that same.
So did and it made me ugly as time went along
For fancied that Barbara always remembered the
wrong,
So if she was pale I'd tease her most out Of her le
And tell her she ought to be stronger, being q

And once when my temper was up cursed her to

She fell at my feet so white and scaredI twas a

THE FAIR SEX.

SPANISH proverb: "When mothers
in-law fall out, then We get the family
facts"
DOCTOR" said a wife to the prac-
titoner who was cutting open her hus-
bands shirta he was in a fit of apoplexy,
"cut, if you please, along the seam."
A WOMAN only stubs her toe once to a
mans six, but when she does she goes
down like a tipped over churn, and cuts
postage stamp out Of both elbows.
ALL hair.pins look alike to men, but
let wife 60 off on visit and come home
and find hair-pin near the gate and she
can't wait a minute to grow red in the
face.
"No girl gets along well without
mother" says moral exchange. This
may be true; but hereabout girls work
harder to get mothers-in.law than they
do to get mothers.
BROOKLYN Argus: The Boston girl is
clever. She brings her suit for breach
of promise, and then has the trial post
poned until she can reduce her weight
sufficiently to 60 before the jury as a
fearful example of the rayages of
blighted affection.
In these days of fashionable finishing
schools and hot-house culture for young
ladies, we beg to commend to sensible
girls the example of Miss Minnie
Chamberlain, age fourteen, of Alton,
New York, who, says local paper,
MIXED two thousand eight hundred and
sixty-six COWS from April to October,
besides doing her share of the household
work.

THERE was a double service In
Methodist church at Nottingham, Mani
toba, ON a recent Sunday. A teud hao
rent asunder the congregation, and each
faction called new minister. One OF
them took possession of the pulpit, and
the other sat behind the chancel rail.
The man in the pulpit gave out one
HYMN, and the man behind the rail
another, and both were sung simul-
taneously by the rival factions. The
man behind the railing gave out his
text, and the man in the pulpit began
to read chapter from the Bible. The
chapter came to an end before the ser
mon, and hymn was interjected; but

JVashfngtoms Library at Auction.

The salesrooms of Thomas & Sons,
auctioneers. in Philadelphia, were filled
recently with book connoisseurs and
distinguished persons who had gathered
at a sale of collection of ancient and
rare books, maps, plans of cities, Revo-
lutiorfary battlefelds, etc., constituting
a portion of the library of General
George Washington. Many of the works
contained the autograph of Washington.
There were nearly three hundred of
these, and some besides the autograph
contained his coat of arms. The dates
of publication ranged from 1925 to 1895.
Among the very rare works were the
Memoirs of the Life of Charles Lee,
with his political and military essays,
New York, 1892; very rare history of
the conquest of Nueva-Espana by Cortes,
published in ITO; Hubbard's Narrative
of the Troubles with the Indians in New
England, very rare, Boston, 1857; a
volume of papers concerning the expe-
dition to the Ohio; with Braddock's
register, and WashingtOn's second jour-
nal which fell into the hands of the
French. DR., Jennings announced pre-.
vious to the sale that the collection was
the property of Mr.. Lawrence Washing,
ton, grandson of General Washington's
brother, and that the reason for expos
ing them for sale was that the auto
graphs of some had been cut out. The
bidding at times was spirited, but the
prices realized were not high. In addition
to the above there were sold rare copy
of the will of Washington, with
schedule of his property annexed; also
a plated ar-bowl, mug, tray, candle
stick, and platter, used by Washington
at his headquarters at Germantown, anc
handed down through the Govett family
by William Govett, one of Washington
aids; also, mahcgony high-case clock

possession.
