The Republican journal., 1876-02-03
This matter of life and death is one

on which little reliance can be placed, ex-
cept that sooner or later we all die Last
week Mr. Carter, juryman attending
court at Machias, remarked to some
triends-.I have never drank any tea,
coffee, or spirituous liquor in my life; I
have never used tobacco in any form, and
am one of the most healthy men alive
Next day he was dead
The Democracy is showing its old-time
dread of education Portland Press.
1t remembers the fruits of radical edu-
cation, and has reason to dread it, That
kind Of tuition which gave US the paper
credits in Maine, the Freedmen's Bank and
Boss Shepherd in Washington, and rem
dered possible Mcdonald, Joyce and Bah
cock any where, is not to be encouraged
In preference to such training, ignorance
is bliss
MIR. r. I. Doten Portland business
man, has run Oft with his partner wife, a
woman OF 40. and the mother of grown
up children. 1t is quite as wonderful as
| i'll Hamlet's time, when he reproached his
mother
sat your age
| The hey-day in the blood is tame; its humble,
| And waits upon the judgment.
Oh shame, where is thy blush"
| But then, il these wonderful things did
not happen, the newspapers wouldn't be
SC interesting
The New York Herald, probably ex-
ceeding in political sagacity any paper in
the country is mistaken iii its third term
theory Last week it said
1t is Just as sure this day as it ever will be
| that Ulysses ;. Grant will be rcnominated for
/ President at Cincinnati on W WedneSday, June
| IA. 1876, if he Wishes and we challenge the pro-
duction of any evidence that his wish is not
| fixed and firm.
We are panied to see iii the Bangor
Wing such Il perversion of the record as
the statement that Cox called Hale
'Blaine's little pup" 1t was ''little bub''
which was good deal more waggish
than the tail Of a pup, even.
And lastly it is discovered that pump
klns will explode
Mrs. Elisha keene of Marshticd. placed a
frozen pumpkin in the oven of her stove for the
| purpose of thaWing it. As she WAS about to re-
move it, it exploded with a report of bomb
shell, part striking the old lady in the face
with great force and burning her severely
Hon. a. q. Jewett, who took prom
inent part in the State Temperance Con-
vention at Augusta, informs us that the
plan for increasing the penalties of the
present law did not originate in that body
The intensified bill was got before the
Leg islature by some other means.
The Court of Commissioners Of the
Alabama claims to-day, rendered iudg-
ment with interest, aggregating 100000,
in favor of Thomas j. Stewart and others
OF Bangor, Me, owners Of the bark Aman-
ia, which was destroyed by the Alabama
in the East Indies in 1868
And now Gen. Banks gives an opinion
on the third term In 4 card in the New
York World, in DENYING that he is himself
a candidate for the vice presidency on the
Grant ticket, he says he believes that
Grant will be the Republican candidate.
The sale OF the State land scrip is to

forward.
The next best thingto being Babcock
the Presidents private secretary, is to be
a Northampton bank burglar. How those
little busy BIS improved their shining
hours
The passage at arms between Hale
and Cox, which we publish to day, will be
read with interest 1t isn't safe Tor any Of
the radical roosters to undertake to spun
Sam. Cox
