The STATE Reform s"hoD
Mr.. +. Wentworth, the Superintendent Of the
State Reform School in Cape Elizabeth, is I'M
doubtedy entitled TO thanks for his faithful labors
at the school, which have been attended with a
good degree Of success. From the recently pub
lished report Of the Trustees, we learn that the
school compares favorably with any other school
of the kind 10 the country, and money basis
much lower Among the inmates are some hard
ened characters, lads who have shown attempts to
destroy life, burn buildings, and to throw rassen-
ger trains off the track. But for all this there are
no cells, nothing very formidable in the way Of
bolts and bars, and the play grounds could be cas-
lily scaled. The punishment used FOL the most
hardened TENDERS is not more severe than that
which is customary 10 our village schools. They
are adheiing strictly to the rule that lad shall
be released until he has been an inmate for at
least two years. ard shall also be in the Gr-t ade

The erection of a new keepers house
on White Island, Isles OF Shoals, reminds
us of an incident that occurred there many
years ago. The light was then kept by
man named Haley, friend of whom, one
Johnny Bragg of Seabrook, was in the
habit of fishing off the Shoals, and in case
of a storm would stop with the light-keep-
er. On one exceedingly stormy night while
Bragg was stopping at the honse, and both
were feeling pretty well from the frequent
potations they had INDUCED, the convcr-
satlon turned upon personal devil, and
Haley asked Bragg if he believed in one !?
NO" said he, land if there is one /
would like to have him walk In now."
Immediately after this remark loud
knock was heard upon the door, at which
they both trembled. for they knew they
were the only two occupants of the Island,
and no one would venture forth in such n
gale of wind. The knock was repeated.
and Johnny, recovering his strength, sum-
moved up his courage and remarked, 1.-THE
devil or no devil" he would open the
door. When this was done there stood
before him a strapping negro, reeking
wet, which gave him another fright, and
he ran TO Haley and told him that the dew
il had got them sure. But it proved to be
the only survivor of Portland brig which
had gone to pieces upon the rocks, and he
fortunately escaped and made for the light
keepers house. NeWburyport Herald.

We were inexpressibly panied to learn
by letter from the distressed father that
Mrs. SALLIE Sewers, wife of Capt. G.
H. Sewers, of Leadvale, Tenn, and
only surviving child of Rev. Philip and
Mrs. Margaret Rohr, died of gastritls,
aftera lingering illness, Friday morning,
18th instant, at Bristol, aged nearly
thirty three years. A few weeks ago the
devoted husband was called from his
farm, near Leadvale, by a letter announc-
ing the illness of his wife but we little
thought at the time he exhibited it to US
that so great calamity would so soon
follow the summons. The deceased was
dear to us as a relative to one who is
very dear, but this is Insignificant com
pared to the goodness and Christian hui
mainly that marked her walk through
life, and made her name familiar to hun
dreds whom she has befriended and re-
lieved in her Christian and unaustenta-
tious way. She was gentle, kind and al
ways Astounding in charity. Her vir-
tues were many-her whole life was
characterized with a Christian spirit of
doing unto others as you would have
them do unto you''-thus making life
happy scene and always controlling a
host of dear friends. We know so pure
woman could only have borne her lin
gering sufferings with Christian forti-
tude, and that her death was but another
exemplification of the Christians hope
and trust. No fear, no sorrow-save for
those weeping around her bed side
marked her exit into the bright beyond.
In her sad and early demise Bristol has
lost one of its most estimable ladies, pa
rents cherished and obedient daughter,
husband pure and devoted wife, and
relatives and acquaintance an esteemed
friend. We offer our heartfelt sympa-
thy to the bereaved father, mother and
husband.
sweep not for her Her span was like the sky,
Whose thousand stars shine beautiful and bright
Like flowers that know not what it is to die,
Like long Iink'd shadeless months of polar light
Like music floating DER a waveless lake,
While echo answers from the howery brake:
Weep not for her!
Weep not for herl Her memory is the shrine
OF pleasant thoughts, soft the scent of flowers,
Calm MINDLESS the SUMS decline,
Sweet as the song of birds among the bowers,
Rich a rainbow with its hues of light,
Pure as the moonshine of an autumn night:
Weep not for her!
q Weep not for her There is no cause of woe,
But rather nerve the spirit that it walk
Unshrinking DER the thorny path below,
And from earth's deflements keep thee back.
So, when few feet swerving years have flown,
She'll meet thee at heavens gate-and lead thee
Weep not for her"

EAST TENNESSEE UNIVERSITY
Extracts from Knoxville letter to the Editor.I
The war of words, in rela-
ton to East Tennessee University in our
dailies, has some truth on both sides,
and some truth suppressed. Party poll
tics is mixed up with all we do; it is al
most impossible to do anything without
its showing itself somewhere. The. Board
of Trustees are composed of both Dem
ocrats and Republicans, and believe a
majority of them are and have been,
since the acceptance of the agricultural
college fund, Democrats Yet this
Democratic Board elected majority of
the Faculty Republicans, and the man.
agement of the school has been here
tofore more or less partisan.
The Board of Trustees, as now con-
stituted, is largely Democratic, and they
could easily have elected the entire
Faculty from then own party if they
had been so disposed.
Some of the present Faculty are Re
publicans. The President, himself, is a
simon pure Republican of the "strictest
sect"
A candid public, when all the facts
are known, will decide that the object
of the majority of the Board was to
build up the college-tO divest it OF
some of its Objectionable features, and
not run it as heretofore when the charge
could be fairly made that it was, to
some extent, a partisan concern.
The charge made by the Chronicle
would have been made no matter what
the action of the Board had been-there
were some II professors and teachers
connected with the College-the eXpen-
ditures overran the receipts, and it be
came necessary to drop all of those not
| needed. 1t was found, on the re-organi
cation of the College, that IL men could
easily do the work heretofore done by
| the II.
! Of course, those dropped out, would bC
| soured,; hence this controversy has arts
en-. The Chronicle has not told its read
ers that two of those not reelected were
| Democrats, and one of them us bright al
intellect as ever filled a chair in the
E. Y. U. The Tribune has not told if
readers this fact, either.
Prof. Burton, in his version in the
Herald, does not mention tit did mo-
suit his purpose-but lie does tell more
| truth than the author intended. Yol
will find in that communication the ideS
that he was elected to the chair of chem
istry for life, and that he had cast hi
lot among a set of uncivilized beings
Now man possessed with such ideas
would be likely to act in just such
superciIious way as to be left out wher
an occasion should offer.
This is your native heath-'tis mine
and you know that from the days o.
| President Estabrook down to the present
that there is not community anywhere
in this broad land that treats a gentleman
with more consideration-no matter
where he was born-than do the native
! citizens of Knoxville.

TIE. CROP PROSPECT IN KNOX.
KNOX. CouNTY, Tenn, Aug. IA.


To the Editor of the AEorristown Gazette: e
We people of the pillow and harrow
have been stopped by King SOL The
parched earth is too hard to prepare our
spite the bad results from the sowing of
last year, our plowmen are determined
to try again. A few fields yielded a full
crop, but take all in all, not half crop
was raised in 1877 Yet we have seen it
stated by some writer's that the crop of
wheat is an abundant one. There is an
abundance for seed and home consump-
tion, but very little for market, let pri
ces recede or not, either from mistaken
estimate or from combination of purch-
asers to depress the market value of our
great cereal Let it be dotted down on
record that the wheat crop of 1877 fails
in quantity over one-half of a full crop,
but not in the quality of the grain. The
same may be said of oats, hay, corn and
potatoes. A sufficient quantity of rain
has not fallen to make either, and it is
too late for rain to save these crops from
falling below half crops. Some river
lands, planted early, will yield abund-
antly; not so the uplands. / have seen
many fields of rich, red land, where not
half the stalks will yield an ear of corn.
Irish potatoes are much injured by the
almost unprecedented drouth. Turnips
will do no good. unless we have more
moisture soon. How other sections are
in regard to the drouth, leave to others
to inform the public. k. @.

We had expected Heiss, of the Nash
vile american, White, of the Lebanon
Herald, and Fleming of the Knoxville
Tribune, to spend a fortnight with us
this summer, fishing, hunting, etc., but
they will hardly get thus far into the
bowels of the country. The american
announces, and the Tribune joyously re-
iterates, that Miss Garretson, of Sinsin-
natl, Ohio, is en- route to East Tennessee
for the purpose of opening a mammoth
cuisine establishment at FriendsviIle, in
Blount county, where lantern-jawed
dispeptics" shall live on 81 the fat of the
establishment" and ''that fat shall not
be pork" Two of the trio are evident
ly present or prospective stockholders in
the hash-house they advertise, and our
experience with DR.. White is that he is
partial to that kind Of literature, and
can easily be induced to change the first
program [ respect for the Doctor is our
excuse for photography. So the pros
pect now is that Friendsville and not
Morristown will enjoy the presence for
a few weeks of spirits Constituting the
bead of the Tennessee press. But, alas!
before such witch as Miss Garretson
must be, how long can even such beads
bubble ?

IF Looking at the matter through
Republican spectacles, this is exac-
thy what Mr.. Hayes has done. He
has abandoned his principles and be-
trayed the men who claimed to have
elected him. Viewing it in the Dem
ocratic light, he has done just the
right thing. He has obeyed the Con-
stitution and acted the part of pa
triot. But this strengthens the Re-
publican indictment, rather than les
sens it's force. Mr.. Hayes cannot
be a good Democrat and at the same
time a good Republican. The Re
publican party therefore finds itself
in a peculiarly awkward dilemma.
Either it must confess that in the
past it has been radically wrong.
usurpatory and revolutionary, or it
must oppose itself to the Admins
tration that has abandoned its prin-
ciples and betrayed its leaders. 1t
is idle and childish to assert that the
surrender of the last Republican
strongholds in the South is a dead
issue. 1t is dead only as regards
the Democracy, who of course are
not disposed to demand that which
has already been given to them. or
to revive an issue which has been
absolutely settled in their favor
As regards the Republican party it
remains an issue Of most decided VII
tality. 1t is true that the surrender
is an accomplished fact. and that
what is done cannot be undone but
the question of principle cannot per
ish so easily. Republicans will still
ask did Hayes do right to surrender
the republican strongholds? Has
he done his duty as a Republican in
abandoning Republicanism? This
question must be met and answered,
and it can receive only one answer
from Republicans. The result must
surely be that fraud will yet be made
infamous.
