BARBOUR LEWIS was confirmed
by the senate recently as register Of
lands in Utah Territory, and is es-
tablished in the happy land of Nor
mOnlsm. If land could be put into
a carpet-bag it would soon become
scarce and dear in that region.
Brother Brigham Young may look

the willy Barbour has a most sweet

HENRY WATTERsoN, in a very
p~hilosophic and sensible letter, to
the Courier journal advises the
Democrats to do three things:
First-Preserve the party organiza-
ton intact, without a flaw OK doubt.
Second-Suppress violent thoughts
and extreme ejaculation, for anger
never mended any cause. Third
Treat Hayes like a gentleman until
he proves himself a usurper by his
acts.

The following paragraph appeared in the
Argus of the 9th:
OUTRAGEoUs.-On last Friday afternoon
poor widow woman living on York street had
occasion to lock up her small house to attend
the funeral of deceased friend. On her re-
turn she found some person had forced an en-
trance through window, and after ransack-
ing the house, turning bed, bedding, bureau
drawers, &C., upside down, went out through
the door, leaving it unfastened, so that any
person intent on robbery might enter at leis-
ure. On making enquiries of the neighbors as
to whom the perpetrators of the deed might be
she was informed that Deputy Sheriff Ring
and his minions, in their anxiety to have the
Maine law rigidly enforced, entered the house
OF this poor woman in the manner described
above, but without succeeding in finding any
thing contraband. Such conduct in officers is,
to say the least. outrageous.
Now what are the facts? Officer Libby had
warrant against this Irish woman, who is a
notorious rumseller. She has been many.times
convicted, and has two cases hanging over her
now. She promised not to sell any more, and
Mr.. Ring let her off because she had some
small children who must go to the workhouse
If the mother was sent to jail She would be
in Jail now but for the forbearance of the off,
GERS. Her husband was in the employment of
Mr.. McGlinchy and was killed by barrel of
liquor falling on him.
Mr.. Ring did not enter the woman's house.
Mr.. Libby "rummaged" nothing but the bed,
where he was informed that liquor was kept;
they have sometimes found liqnor in the beds
of Ilish rumsellers. They have now informa-
ton that one Of these women rumsellers keeps
her whiskey in the legs of the stockings which
she wears. The woman spoken of in the Argus
article is persistent and determined rum
seller l..

An Educational Organ.

Mr.. EDIToR-The New England Journal
OF Education has nearly completed its third
year, and is of course candidate for another
years support
Ordinarily, the course of a newspaper is
matter between itself and the subscriber; if he
doesn't like the paper he needn't take it, and
that is the end of it,
But the paper in question claims to be the Or
gan of the educational interests of New Eng
land. 1t rather thrusts itself upon teachers
and school officers; it gets itself endorsed at ed
ucational cow entlons, and it carefully fosters
the idea that the roll of genuine workers in the
educational field and its own subscription list
are synonymous terms.
That being the case the work of this journal
becomes fair subject of criticism.
1t set up an excellent standard in the first
place. 1t was not to be mere weekly maya
zine, but practical newspaper, giving the
same place to education that the best political
papers give to politics. If any one wishes to
know at the same time what an educational
weekly ought to be, and what this paper in
question emphatically is now, he is referred to
editorial articles in the first number.
The Journal has all along shown an ability
in promises that amounts to genius the medi-
ocrity being displayed in the fulfillment. The
paper as to all intents and purposes a magazine
cut up into weekly parts Most of the articles
in it are continued from week to week, some of
them for SO long time that they may be said
to be chronic.
Variety is thing unknown to that sheet.
Any two numbers are as much alike as any
two Sunday School lesson papers. The depart
ment of educational news so far as this state is
concerned at least, amounts to just nothing at
all.
If there is one thing ia which an educational
paper ought to excel, it is in its reviews of
books; but there are no reviews 10 the Journal
unless a few pitiable book notices may be dig
nifed by that name.
Conceding the ability of many of the essays
which appear in its columns, and their fitness
for magazine or for a book, the fact remains
that it is in no sense live educational newspa-
per, and that it surely has no special claim upon
the teachers of Maine for support.
AS far as its apparent interest in the needs of
this state, as its influence in her educational af
fairs are concerned, the paper might as well be
published on the Pacific coast.
1t is certainly to be hoped that the State Ed
ucational Association at its coming meeting
will not allow itself to be used as bill post to
bring the Journal into prominence over other
publications of a less COST and of at least equal
value.
One thing more. 1t is pity that since the
teachers OF Maine have no real organ, the edu-
Gators of the state do not make use of the lead
ing papers in which to express their views.
L presume that articles from them in relation
to our school work would always be acceptable
to the editors, and am sure that they would
be read not only by teachers, but by the people
at large. Why can't we have some?

TranDs,

Mr.. EDIToR,-Tramps iufest our city, what
shall be done with them? Some houses seem
beset by this class Of vagabonds asking for
something to eat;" many of them look like
able-bodied and well-to-do young men who
ought to be engaged in other and better bust
ness than begging bread from door to door.
There is goodly number of benevolent men
and women IN our midst who are always ready
and happy to help the deserving poor, but do
not think they ought to bestow of their means
on entire strangers calling at their doors.
Cannot some measures be adopted by the
City Fathers to check the growing eyil? We
would suggest, as one remedy, the appointment
OF committee, say three persons, whose duty
shall be to hear the cases of tramps and, if pos
sible, ascertain the truth or falsity of their
statements. If found worthy, let them be
kindly cared for, in some way, and receive
timely relief; if mere Migrants let the law be
enforced as designed for such characters.
IT, instead of giving food, Sc, to every street
door-mendi cant, we should hand him ticket
of introduction to the above named committee,
would not tramps be unknown before long in
the streets of this city.

''ons i0f riadlng the city of all tramps

COnxhs and Colds yield readily to Schenek's
Pulmonc Syrup, which is most agreeable remedy
1t heals the oosens the phlegm and expes IL
from the system with scarcely effort on the part
of the patient.
Dyspepsia loss of vitality and all the accompany
ing diseases may be positively cured by Schenck's
Seaweed Tonic. 1t restores healthy action of the
stomach, creating appetite, forming chyle and
giving tone to all the organs of the body. The Sea
weed Tonic contains cheap and injurious spiritso
which many of the so-called Tonics" are made, but
is scientifically compounded of the purest in gredis
ents.
Biliousness and Liver Compl amt cannot with
stand Schenck's M andrake Pills. They act upon tn
stomach and liver without nauseatng gripping
and arr erfectly safe and harmless.
These three remedies together are sure cure for
Consumption. The Pulmonic Syrup rpens the mat
ter in the lungs and purfes the blood; the Mandrake
Pills create healthy bile remove all diseases of the
liver and assist the Pulmonic Syrup by carrying off
the purid matter the Seaweed Tonic strengthens the
stomach and digestive organs and thereby creates
healthy blood.
The combined action of these medicines, as thus
explained. will cure every of Consumption, if
taken in time, and the use of the medicines is per
severed in.
DR.. Schenek is professionally at his principal Of
fee, Corner Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia, every
Monday. where all letters for advice must be ad-
dressed.
Schenek's Medicines are for sale by all druggists.
