In the French political campaign now
opened by the dissolution of the Assembly
Leon Gambetta promises to make the most
conspicuous figure. Since Sedan he has
gained much parliamentary experience, has
developed considerable administrative ability,
and has quite cleared himself from the charge
of impracticability. Indeed during the ses-
sion Of the Assembly he developed great tact
and shrewdness and high qualities as states
man and leader. The platform upon which he
goes before the French people calls for finan-
cial and military reorganization, the control Of
national education by the State without in
reference by the church, and complete am
nesty to the Communists. Gambetta is now
only thirty-seven years old, and to all appear
ance has brilliant and useful career before
him. Doubtless since the recent vote of the
Assembly continuing the state of siege in The
great cities of Paris, Lyons, and Marsellles,
he will declare against the continuance of
martial law.

In this centennial year the rag-money men
will do we'll to look up the history of the
paper issues of the Revolution based on "the
faith oi the continent" The Continental
currency was first issued in 1775. The de-
probation was so rapid that the Congress
attempted to bolster up the currency by
making it legai-tender. Spite of all that
could be done the bills in 1870 were worth
but two cents on dollar. The following,
which was written in 1791 of this Conti-
mental money, will apply with only less force
to the situation to-day:-"If it saved the
state. it has also polluted the equity of our
laws, turned them into enemies of oppres-
sion and wrong, corrupted the justice OF
our public administration, destroyed the for
tunes of thousands who had most confidence
in it, enervated the trade, husbandry, and
manufactures of our country, and.gone far to
destroy the morality of our people.'

The temperance men and women of Maine of all
religious political and temperance organizations and
tn9se not connected with either are invited to meet
at Meonian Hall. In Augusta, on Wednesday, Janu-
airy 10th, 1876 at IL O'Clock A. M for the purpose Of
holding Mass Temperance Convention.
This being the centennial year of national ex-
lstence, 1t is highly important and fitting that we
should meet in convention and declare ourselves free
and independent of King Alcohol and take every
means In our power to declare against him war Of
utter determination.
Among the many questions that it may be proper
to consider, the following are important :-i.What
can be done to aid the reform clubs in their noble
workI "H3w can we encourage and help those no.
Bile women who are organizing crusade movements
and women christian temperance societies?" sis
there not necessity that something should be done
a1d the sale Of
GUS religious denominations of the State take more
decided and active measures in this great cause
"Ought not the legislative, judicial, executive and
municipal bodies of our state to take stronger and
more decisive measures for the suppression of the
great evil of intemperance?" Should not the vari-
GUS temperance organizations of the state receive the
encouragement of every friend Of Temperament"
1t seems to that there has not been for several
years a more favorable crisis in the Temperance
movement In this state than the present. The work
done by the several temperance organizations to-
gether with the cooperation of the faithful women
engaged in this work. should encourage every friend
Of the cause and prompt to renewed diligence.
The convention will probably be continued through
Thursday. While we cannot promise free accommo-
dation to those attending the convention vet we will
make an effort to secure board at reduced rates. The
usual reduction Of fare may be expected the

THESE are the Tilden figures: All the old
slave states, except South Carolina, Demo-
cratic. Connecticut, New Y ork, New Jersey,
Indiana, California, and Oregon, doubtful.
All the rest Republican. This gives to the
Democrats 132 electoral votes, to the Repub-
licans 164, and leaves.74 doubtful. Of these
the Democrats must have "a to carry the
election. The Tilden men argue that it is
absolutely necessary to carry New York, and
that it would be utter folly to throw away
the 35 votes of that state to gain the 10 Of
Indiana; that New York can only be carried
by Tilden on a hard-money platform, and
that this platform and ticket would stand a
fair chance in Indiana. 1t is scarcely neces-
sary to add that the Hendricks men both ar
que and figure very differently.

KING KALAKAUA appears to have been an
expensive guest. The last bill for his enter
tainment, amounting to $4,000, has just
been presented to Congress. Some of the
items call for careful scrutiny before they are
allowed. The Pacific railroad wants over
$1,000 for "toting him about" Apparently
they have figured up this amount by the sim
pie process of doubling their rates. Other
railroads will be content with $500. The
Arlington hotel at Washington wants 3,473,
the Central Hotel at San Francisco $1649.
An Omaha man calls for 1855 for "commis-
sary supplies" photographer thinks he
ought to have $50 for taking the kings pic
ture, and bank-note company wants $3.50
for Invitations" 1t is estimated that the
total public cost of entertaining the Pclyne.
sian potentate reaches $4,000.

THE letter of Reverdy johnson, exonerat-

mine matter, commands consideration and
will have great weight. Mr.. johnson is a
Democrat, and certainly is not prejudiced in
favor of Gen. Schenck. His high personal
character forbidS suspicion that be has been
unduely influenced. He has given to the
subject careful and thorough investigation,
and his conclusions certainly are entitled to
as high respect as those of any one.

Western people are beginning to fear the
Matching out OF the millions of eggs deposited
last year. Some papers are advising the

ing it. But the entomologists doubt the re-

a wet Spring, which is altogether probable,
will destroy the eggs.

Prayers by the Cart Load.

Spurgeon tells the following sto-
ry. "A poor man, who had a large
family, gave them a very comfor-
table support while he was in
health. He broke his leg, and
was laid up for some weeks. AS
he would be for some time desti-
tute of the means of grace, it was
proposed to hold a prayer meeting
at his house. The meeting was
led by deacon Brown. A loud
knock at the door interrupted the
service. A tall blue;frocked young
ster stood at the door, with an OK
CAD in his hand, and asked to see
deacon Brown. Father could not
attend this meeting he said, but
he sent his prayers. and they're
out in the cart They were
brought in, in the shape of pota-
toes, beef, pork and corn. The
meeting broke up without the BEN
ediction.
