Oh what bosom but must yield,
When, like Pallas, You advance,

Ease my passion by your art;
And in pity for my pain,
Mend the hole that's in my heart.

Political Notes.

For pure modesty, combined with will
ingness to make himself useful TO the coun-
try, Governor Warmoth is unsurpassed.
Now he is ready to take foreign mission
rather than that our interests abroad should
suffer.
The possible candidates for governor of
Mass chusetts, this fall, according to the
7ribunes Boston letter, are Messrs. Rice,
Pierce, Talbot, Long and Sanford on the
one side, and CASTOR, Thompson and Salt

The action of the State Register has its
counterpart in this state, where an uninfu-

State Journal, a newspaper out in Ken
dali county, and two or three other insig-
nificant sheets, as hobs to its kite, have
conspred to disrupt the party by opposing
the president's policy. 1t has resulted,
however, in the same wretched failure that

Two Notable Suicides.

Two notable suicides the past week were
those of John II. Baldwin of Baltimore,
and William P. Weyman of the Pittsburgh
firm of Weyman Brothers, both well known
citizens, and the former brave confeder-
ate officer in Stonewall Jackson's brigade.
Baldwin was an insurance adjuster, and
about 80 years old. On the morning of the
day when he took his life. he dressed him
self with scrupulous care, but betrayed
some excitement, and, in the presence of
friends, drew revolver and fred one
chamber into the ceiling of his room. Then
he passed out, and, having arrived in front
of house on st. Paul street, where few
days ago physician murdered his wife and
cut his own throat on the pavement, he
glanced up at the building, and, while be-
ing observed by passers-by, drew his revol-
yer, and placing it at his right temple,
fired. He is supposed to have been insane,
there being faint of insanity in the blood.
In the case of Weyman, business losses and
arrest for some supposed irregularity was
the cause of the crime. He had made one
attempt on his life, and this time, to make
sure thing of it, he stood in front of a mir
ror and cut his head nearly off with razor.
He was 80 years old.

Washington Items.

Mrs. Hayes and number of other ladies'
had intended to accompany the presidential
party to Philadelphia yesterday, but owing
to recent indisposition, Mrs. Hayes decided
not to 60, and no ladies were of the party.
Boss Shepherd played sharp game on
the Washington public few days ago in
disposing of a lot of goods at auction, adj
vertised as the effects of the Austrian min
lister the Count Hoyos, but which were
simply the old furniture and utensils of
Shepherds family.
The secretary of the treasury has called
for the redemption of $40, ia, 800 of i've
twenty bonds of 1865, May and November.
The amount called in constitutes the resi-
due of those issued under the act of March
3, 1865, dated Nov. /, 1865. The call is
for 1881 900 coupon and 1888, $50 reg
istered bonds.

community regarding the southern policy
of President Hayes. The local papers give
hardly the slightest indication of it ; and
the editor who, when privately asked il he
is Hayes man, flercely responds, "Not by
a damned sight," in the editorial columns
sedulously applies emoluments to the lac
Grated feelings Of the people in the interest
of "the party" The truth is that the

pressed wrath, and their copperhead foes
are naggng them numerically with con-
slant reminders that this is "Tildens poll

stand that from n republican president
which they could find no denunciations &C.
v,re enough for were Tilden himself with
drawing the troops from the southern CAPT
,ols and leaving the carpet-baggers to the
destruction they have SO richly earned.
But most of this feeling, intense as it is,
will soon pass away if the southern leaders
are true to their pledges. Beneath it all
there is q real desire for the pacification Of
the country ss a necessary preliminary to

PRISON DISCIPLINE,

The necessity for some kind of prison re-
form is shown in the experience of Henry
Jackson, the colored centenarian convict,
who recently died in the Sing Sing prison.
On account of his extreme age, he had been
allowed certain privileges, and had accu-
mulated quite sum of money, one hun
dred and fifty dollars of which he had in
vested in the purchase of gold watch and
chain. For some reason or other, one of
the wardens had prohibited convicts from
carrying watches, and that of Jackson was
taken from him, deposited in the safe, and
credited to him on the books. In 1878, a
new warden came in, the order was re-
voked, and a plated watch-worth some
twelve dollars-was given to jackson in
place of the one he surrendered. In vain
he protested. In vain he brought evidence
to show that his watch was gold one. The
prison officials decided that they could not
receive evidence aIunde the record, and
Jackson had TO put up with his pinchback

Is 1t matter of surprise, with this state
of facts, that escapes from Sing Sing are
almost of every day occurrence, and that
the semblance of order is only obtained by
the display of bludgeons and revolvers by
the keepers2 In striking contrast is the

A Curiosity.

The Lyndon Union tells the following {:
Fourteen years ago Joseph Page walked
from St. Johnsbury Center to the house
where A. A. Pierce resides, having in his
hand Balm of Gilead stick, cut from a
tree and used on the route as a walking
stick. On reaching home he stuck that
stick up in the yard, and from its bottom
sprang out roots and branches grew above
the ground. In few years it became q
tree, and one day last week Mr.. Pierce
felled that tree TO the ground and found it
eighteen inches through at the butt. But
the most singular part of the story re-
mains TO be told. When the tree was cut
up and split that identical cane, precisely
the same size and shape, with the original
knife cuts upon it came out of the bottom
log aud is now on exhibition at this office.
On the small end Of the stick can also be
seen a place an inch long where the bark
was showed up from the bottom, from stick
ing it into the ground while walking.

An Imnortant Decision

A local court in Arkansas has pro-
nounced decision which, If sustained by
the supreme court of the state, to which
the Gaze has been appealed, will invalidate
railroad aid bonds to the amount of &c.
100000 Issued in the state under legsla-
tive act passed in 1869. This state aid was
given to the Little Rock and Fort Smith
road, among others, and it was the extern
sion OF the grant to the state by congress
for this purpose which Blaine helped War
rem Fisher and Josiah Caldwell to get
through congress in 1869. The decision of
the court, if sustained, will cause heavy
loss to Boston parties.

There is a movement on foot against
Mexico. The objective point is Sonora,
and the purpose, from what can be gath
cred seems to be to annex this province to
the domain Of the Texas Pacific railroad,
and incidentally to that of Uncle Sam.
The movement is said to have wide ramifi-
cations. The deposed President Lerdo,
who is living in Washington in seclusion,
is silent partner in it. The headquarters
are naturally in Philadelphia. New Or
leans is the basis Of active operations. The
interested parties in Washington are trying
to see how much liberation they can count
on from the national government when
they begin active operations next autumn.
They propose, it is understood, to colonize
the state of Sonora with some thousands of
Americans, and to set up an independent
government there. Then they will play
the role of Texas over again. and endeavor
to secure admission to the Union as fed
eral state.

Why the Nephew was Discharged

The effect of the European war on Amer
lean securities, in the London market, may
be seen from the fact that the price of
United States four and one-half per cent.
bonds have varied less than one per cent,
while British consols and the bonds of other
European countries have declined from two
10 four and five, and in come instances even
a greater, per cent. And further, while
consols are nearly three per cent. lower
than they were a year ago, and one-half of
one per cent. less than they were week
ago, the United States ten-forties are three
quarters of one per cent. higher than they
were year ago, and one-half of one per
cent. more than week ago-commanding
premium of some seven per cent. in gold.
Under this state of facts, it would seem as
if there would be no difficulty in placing q
four per cent. government loan.

18th.
The death of James Hutchinson at the
North Hsverhill poor house recently at the
age of ninety closed strangely cneckered
career. He graduated at Dartmouth COL
lego In 1906, was one of the first scholars
ia his class and an intimate friend of
Daniel Webster. He studied law, and,
after his admission to the bar, opened an
Office at Lebanon. He at once took q
prominent position in his profession, and
his prospects of future distinction were
most finttering, but, for some unknown
cause, he took to drink, and the death of
his wife, which occurred soon after, COM
pleted his wreck. He wandered aimlessly
about for many years, and finally returned
to his old home, where be died penniess

There seems to be q general misappre-
hension and misunderstanding, at home as
well as abroad. relative to certain phases of
Phair's case. While it is true that he did
not have at his disposal as much money to
prepare and conduct his defence as did
not as beautifully supplied with funds as
was the prosecution in the same case-it is
not true that his pecuniary resources were
confined to the twenty dollar attorney fee
allowed by the court, and the legal fees of
his witnesses and the officers fees for
summoning them. The examinations Of
the several signatures "E. +. Smith"-the
one written by him in jail, and those at
tached to the Adams house register and to
the pawnbrokers receirt-by an expert,
were made at the suggestion of Phair's
counsel and at the request of Phair him
self, and the charges OF the expert were
paid by his relatives. Not to mention
other instances where money was furnished
for his defense, detective was sent to
ITOVlucuCe, III his interest, 10 inquire
into the truth of his story as to the
lodging house and restaurant, and his ser
vices were paid for by Phair's relatives. 1t is
not true that his counsel were convinced of
hisguilt. One of them, at least-and we
think two of them-was firmly convinced
of his innocence he thought so at the
time of the trial; he thought so when the
petition for new trial was denied he
thought 80 when 90 earnestly laboring tor
reprieve and he still thinks SO. The
twenty dollars paid to his counsel was en-
tirely inadequate for their services, but we
venture to say that it is full as much as the
states attorney received for his services in
the same case; and, moreover, we believe
that the pecuniary aid received by Phair in
his defence was fully equal to, if it did not
exceed, that rendered to persons similarly
accused and of like pecuniary circum-
stances in other states Of the Union.

who have surrendered or shall surrender
before the war are raised, except insurgent
chiefs and those who, having already re-

property of deceased insurgents are also
raised, the property being restored to the
heirs, if the heirs remain faithful to Spain.

to this early moving. Another establish
