CORNELL has carried off the major portion
OF the honors in the intercollegiate contest,
her people bearing away the first prize in
mathematics, essay-writing, and Greek, and
the second prize in oratory The Greek
prize was awarded to Miss Julia j. Thomas.
and in giving it the committee say: "The
fact that the only lady among the eight COM
petitors succeeded in carrying off the first
prize is gratifying proof that the recent eff
forts to elevate the standard of female educa-
ton have not been without fruit" The fair
Grecian is now Mrs. Irvine, a man of that
name having been fortunate enough to win
her for wife. The following from the COM
mittee report will show to what tests she was
subjected:
The Committee appointed to adjujge the
prizes for proficiency in the study of the Greek
language respectfully report as follows: At an

subjected one by one to an oral examination,
which, however, constituted but small portion
OF the tests that were applied. A series of

and he was required to prepare written an

Ex-Governor DingIey,

The retirement of Hon. Nelson Dingley,
Jr, from the Office of Governor has added
another to the list of governors who have
reflected credit upon the state. 1t is but just
to say that we believe that he has the conf
dence and respect of a very large portion of
the intelligent people of Maine. In the two
years that he has been in office, he has de-
voted himself zealously to the interests of our
people. His voice, influence and what is bet
ter than both, his practice, have been in the
direction of economy and rigid accountable
ity by offices for all trusts and interests COM
mitted 20 them. Further than that he can
look back and see that measures of positive
value and Importance to the people suggested
by him have been adopted. One of his purpo-
ses was to cause all kinds of property to con-
tribute its portion TO the support of the pub
lie burden. Two measures of this kind have
already been adopted from which the state
derives a substantial revenue. At times he
has drawn upon his head the censure and
severe criticism of those who have laXer
notions of official responsibility, but popular
sentiment has already emphatically endorsed
his action.
As Gov. Dingley retires from the honorable
position he has so faithfully filled, we think
we but express the sentiment of all of the
best people of the state when we assert that
he possesses their entire confidence and re-
spect

Gov. COnn0r's Address.

That the address of Governor Connor is
well written, thoughtful, judicious and prac
tical is no surprise to those who have been
so fortunate as to know the man so intimate
ly as to be able to judge of his ability, charac-
ter and worth. That it indicates familiari-
ty with the affairs of the state is what might
be expected from one of Gen. Connor's
thoughtfulness and intelligence. That his
suggestions are practical and progressive is
indicative that he will bring to the high office
to which he has been elected that careful
ness and intelligence which have been the
characteristics of SO many of his predeces-
sors. That every paragraph of the address
discloses the fact that Gov. Connor believes
in the state of Maine, is proud of her people
and her past, and has faith in her future,
may be accepted as the pledge of his earnest
and constant efforts to serve his native state
for whose glory and renown he has done
and suffered so much in dark and perilous
times.
1t is not necessary that an abstract Of the
address should be given here. Every reader
lulcIcSLcO III luc Wclldlc vi IMdilc Will ucolIC
to read the entire paper. The suggestions
and recommendations are certainly of such
nature as to commend themselves to the
Legislature. His Excellency indicates an
earnest desire to multiply the sources of
wealth and means of employment within our
state so that when stagnation comes to any
one department of business, there may be
other sources Of employment In other words
and to use part of the Governors own ex-
presssion, Names future progress depends
upon diversified industry whereby her winters
long and torpid, may be "warmed into sum-
mers."
Without further comment, we commend
the address to our people as one entirely
worthy of Chief Magistrate of the st ate in
the Centennial year.

The NEW CoNGREsS.-Mr ByingtOn writes
from Washington to the Norwalk Gazette:
The Republicans are about as jubilant, how
ever, as our opponents are mad. 1t will be no
trouble for Mr.. Blaine and dozen other capa-
BILE members on our side to checkmate the ma
jorty if disposed to be rampant. They have
no one able to cope with Blaine If the speak
er had been in a conspiracy to make the weak
ness of his party conspicuous he could not
have succeeded better. The serious aspect is
that legislation and the best interests of the
country must suffer from such condition of
things. The incompetency is not confined to
members alone. Many of the subor dinate en-
ployes are found sadly incapable. E very Re-
publican has been removed nearly, and psrtic-
ularly the one armed and one legged Union
solaers. There has been such rush of ex-
Confederates for all the small places that they
are largely III the majority, as eX-Confede rate
officers are in very large majority over Union
officers on the floor of the house. A Kentucky
eX-cOpgressman won the second clerkship
another Kentucky ex-congressman has worried
out the little subordinate place held by John j.
Piatt, in the library, while tDO Kentucky eX-
congressman fill menial places in the folding
room, which would involve folding and past
ing documents and trundling them around on a
truck to the house post office-if they did their
duty. The probabilities are, however, that the
heaviest work they mean to do is to draw their
pay. There is much amusement over the eX-
rebel officer appointed to hoist and haul down
the flag over the house. He is said TO be so
corpulent that he eau scarce squeeze through
the roof scuttle, and his joy at hauling down
the stars and stripes is about evenly balanced
by the reluctance with which he hoists it. New
ertbeless, this entire lesson is timely and a
good one. There we've many hundred of north
ern and eastern Democrats who came on here
hoping to secure these subordinate positions.
These and their friends have had chance to
see the tendency of things" with their party
in full power. They will go home or have
gone, and will contemplate the undeniable fact
that service under the rebel flag has been an
aid instead of an injury to claima mt for q
place. One applicant charges in the public
out that he had served as a private in the
Union army. Well, the exhibit has not been
made any too soon, and is far graver fact to
contemplate than the school question, at this
juncture.

EITHER the people Of st. Albans are ex-
tremely gullible or else they have case of
mistaken identity of the most remarkable
character The circumstances attending the
discovery of the boy resembling Charlie Ross
at that village are well known, but the
attempt to unravel the mystery which sur
rounds him seems to have resulted so far in
more mystery. That he resembles Charlie
Ross there is no doubt, and that by some
means or other he has become acquainted
with many of the surroundings of that child
before he was stolen, is evidenced by his cor
rect replies to questions which have been put
to him not only by st. Albans but also by
Philadelphia people. Doubtless all the facts
he is possessed of have appeared in the news
papers, but it is little remarkable that he
should have studied these particulars so
thoroughly as to recall them so accurately on
the spur of the moment Mr.. Ross, who has
seen the boys photograph, says he isn't his
Charlie, and yet it is conceivable that the boy
may have so changed that his picture is
not easily recognized. The Milford people
say the boy is Jimmy Blanchard, youthful
tramp who is accustomed to run away from
home. and has the reputation of being no.
torious liar. The postmaster of that town
went to St. Albans and pronounced him the
missing Jimmy Blanchard. but the boy un-
fiinchiDgly denied that that was his name or
that he ever was in Milford, ard when some
of Jirmy's clothes were tried on to him they
were found altogether too large. The cap
fell down over his eyes and the coat was some
three inches too long in the sleeves. This is
somewhat remarkable to be sure, but may be
explained by the fact that boys in Jimmy's
station in life are not particular about the
fit of their clothes, and are content to wear
what is given TO them whether too large or
too small. Evidence seems to be accumulating
that the st. Albans people have suffered them
selves to be imposed upon by precocious
liar, still there is yet possibility that the
boy may be Charlie Ross. Whichever way it
turns out the usual dullness of the town has
been relieved for a week, and that is some
thing.

AN absurd dispatch to the Boston Herald
that serious attempt will be made in the
present legislature to repeal the laws prohi-
biting the sale of Intoxicating liquors in
Maine has been copied in this state. Its
obvious purpose is 10 divert money from the
pockets of over credulous liquor dealers to
the lean purses of certain needy and uE-
scrupulous lobbyists. The introduction of
Mr. Blaine's name in connection with the
chimerical project is the baseless fabrication
of an ex-ra;lroad lobbyist of the baser sort,
who seeks to give a Fictitious importance to
his silly scheme. The whole things pre-
posterously impudent and will delude nobody
with an ounce of brains.
