The folly of an over-litigous and con-
tentious spirit, as illustrated in the old
story Of the upper and the lower mills, is
even better illustrated by a recent lawsuit
in Cincinnati:
Rossls goose laid eggs in Hott's dooryard
in Cincinnati, and Hott's goose Matched from
them one gosling Who owned the gosling ?
The question was angrily disputed by Ross
and Holt and they have gone 70 law about it.
The gosling has grown into goose, and is
worth dollar at most. The Litigation has
already cost two hundred dollars.

burg Mechanics, and being appraised of the
intended visit, they gathered at the hall at an
early hour. Judging by the baskets, parcels,

they intended to give their Reisterstown

one of words only. Our surmise proved to
be correct, and the time was pleasantly spent
by both entertainers and guests.

politics there are many rrlmors. A few days
age he was reported as the instigatOr of the
movement looking to the organization of a
new political party This Washington meet
ing he has since repudiated. That is not a
part of his programme The news now
comes from Washington, which gives a sensi-
bic exposition of his purpose. He means to
be the champion of the Simon Pure Repub-
ican party, and all his abilities will be direc-
ted to arouse the ancient fervor of the ancient
faith. The Administration and the would
be leaders of an Administration party will be
attacked, on the ground that they have aban-
doned the ancient faith, and deliberately,
with corrupt intent attempted to destroy the
Republican party. The purpose of Blaine is
to carry high the standard of the Simon Pure
Republican party, and to rally to it the loyal
element of the North, which was SO irresist-
IDLY strong during the war; and through the
reconstruction period Blaine struck the key
note of the last campaign in his AndersOnville
speech, and the entire canvass on the Repub-
lean side was made on the issue he then 50
sharply and forcibly raised.
There is an apparent apathy in the public
mind which, for some time, deceived the Ad
ministration. But as there was no popular
uprising no public demonstrations, and no
general cutlery by the Republican press, Hayes
and his advisers tiattered themselves that dis
affected machine politicians like Blaine, as
they termed this popular leader, would soon
I've forced to pull in the Administration traces;
but after two months experience they begin
TO discover that the disattection is much more
formidable than they thought possible.

ABOUT BLAINE.

The Calais (Maine) Times states as follows
A great many Republicans appear solicitous
to learn Blaine's political intentions, and we
are pleased to state that it is pretty well
settled what he will do.
In this State one of his first political acts
will be to wipe out his ''little hub in Ellis
worth, whom he has kept alive and sustained
long enough to receive his reward. Blaine
has always in his heart despised Hale, but
hitherto he has had some use for him and his
father-in-law But the aspect has now
changed. Hale has approached political
dissolution In this State anyway, but Blaine
speedy.
As to Blaine's plans in relation to national
