DIcKENs's MANNERs.-When Charles Dick
ems was in this country, some years ago, he
went to Albany to lecture, and put up at Con-
gress hall. General Woodford was then lieu
tenant governor, aud had an elegant suit of
rooms there, and, as he was absent with his
family he kindly gave permission to place his
rooms at the disposal of the great novelist
Dickens accepted the courtesy as mere mat
ter of course, and had not the grace to express
any thanks. He lectured pocketed the money
and went away like any other Snowman. A
few months afterwards he returned to lecture
again, and was shown to other apartments,
with which he was not pleased. He sent for
the landlord and demanded his former rooms.
Mr.. Blake said that they belonged to the lieu
tenant-governor of the state. That did not
matter said Dickens, 60 and ask him, if he
will give up his room to me, Blake demurred
to this, but Dickens insisted. With a very
long face, at last Blake went to General Wood
fords room and put the question. Woodford
looked quietly for a moment at Blake and then
| said: 1.-Two months ago in my absence gave
| up my room to Mr.. Dickens as personal ac
| commodation to yourself and him. Mr.. DICK
| ems had not the grace to express any thanKs.
| Perhaps these are English manners. Ihey are
| not good manners, anyhow. Say to Mr. DICK
ems that the lieutenant-governor OF the state OF
| New York is not in the habit OF turning him
| self out of his home for the accommodation of
| travelling showmen."

RUTHERFORD B. HAYES,
OF OHIO.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
WILLIAM A. WHEELER.
OFT NEW YORK,
ANOTHER VICTORY.

The Republicans of Maine have nobly won
their twentieth victory. As triumph it is
as complete as any ever achieved in this
state. Large gains have been made in nearly
every county in the state. Portland shows a
gain of over 700 from 1875. Bangor makes a
gain of nearly 500. Bath polls one of her old
votes and the Republicans win one OF their
old fashioned victories in that city. Nearly
all OF the larger towns alse show large gains.
The smaller towns have generally made Re-
publican gains.
We can only state results generally at this
time. Governor Connor has been re elected
by majority of nearly $4,000. The Repub-
lican candidates for Congress have been
elected in all of the districts. Tie Republi-
cans have carried thirteen of the sixteen
counties, and in one of those (Knox; part
of the Republican county ticket is elected
and Governor Connor has small majority.
Waldoboro' voted and consequently Lincoln
is Democratic by small majority. Aroostook
is probably Democratic. The Republicans
gain nine senators and probably lose one.
The House will be more than two-thirds Re-
publican.
Such, in brief, is the victory which the
Republicans have achieved. 1t is the en-
phatic voice. of an intelligent people and
doubtless gives the old Democracy of Maine
its death blow. 1t ought to be Sufficient to
bury fnreuar tho .--i:Ii-.r ->.r,-,-----
Eneru strlne--
The victory in Maine is not the result OF a
one-sided campaign. The Democratic lead
ers were never so active and that party never
had so thorough an organization. The Re
publican leaders were never so bitterly assail-
ed or were ever so desperate efforts made to
defeat them. Nevertheless the people OF
Maine, by their ballots, have again declared
their preference for the Republican party and
in the most emphatic manner have signified
that they have no faith in the Democratic
leaders of Maine who represent Samuel J..
Tilden.
The verdict of Maine will be that of every
intelligent state of the North. The tide has
turned against Samuel j. Tilden and the
election of Rutherford B. Hayes is almost
assured.

AFTER November the high-colored rheto-
rc which has been lavished on politics will
be used to adorn social topics. The change
has already begun, as witness the following
from Virginia paper: "The firt is the
painted hyena of society; the lamb.feeced-
disguised ravening wolf Of the affectional
fold. Her fangs drip like the gore of the
foolishly fond and true. Like the hideous
spectre-bat of the Orinoco, she drains the
last purple drop from the veins of her SPELL
bound victim, while her soft Establishments
lull him to rest and fill his dreams with daz-
zling scenes of beauty and felicity. More
cruel than the great war god of the Aztecs.
she feasts upon the torn AMI bleeding hearts
of her own most fervent worship ers. With
savage ferocity she crunches the tenderest
feelings and emotions of human SOUL"
There's more of it, but this will suffice.

Mir. Collumber informs us that the resi- dence of MT. Lambertson, at Walnut Grove, was blown down on Friday last Mrs. l.. narrowly escaping with her life. When she found the house was going she ran out at the door on the windward side, whereas if she had gone in the other direction she would have been crushed to death. Mir Collumber informs us that the day had been calm and as he was in his field he saw a narrow streak of dust arising which indicated that the streak of wind was but a few hundred yards in width and travelling in straight direction. The full force of the blast did not reach him but took MT. Lamberson's house directly in it's course. MT. c. T. Rogers informs us that in passing the house of Mir. Stearns in the lower end of Skulls Valley, on Friday, he found that gentleman's house blown down; one corner down in the cellar and another sticking up in the air. The house was not broken up, and he did not learn that any one was injured. James Douglas, of Williamson Valley, was in town on Monday and reports that perfect hurri- cane visited that Valley on Sunday, but did no special damage other than to fill peoples eyes and mouths with sand, dust and gravel with which the whole atmosphere was charged.

We are anxious to enlarge the paper so as to do justice to mat ters of local importance that are constantly pressing themselves upon us, as we'll as to give more attention to news from abroad which we are concious of our inability to do with the present cramped facilities. When the new press arrives We shall run four more columns of reading matter and lengthen the columns ill proportion to the increased size of the paper. Until then, which we prom ise shall not be great while, we ask our patrons to bear with us and the meagre amount of reading matter We are able to give them on the small press we now have in use.

There had been about 900 days works done on it, when Messrs. Greer and Dayton, whom we mentioned two weeks ago, left the Colony. These Mormon colo nists mean business, and if they could get along without quite so many wives, would be about the best class of citizens that could come to country like eastern Yavapai. They are used to frontier life, many of them born there, and know how to make the des- ert blossom.
