The new democratic Mayor Of Boston, Mr.

recognition in his presence" Nothing could be
more gratifying, nothing brillian tly sugges-
tive of good time coming than this. If Boston
does not need civil service REFORM then il is the
most fortunate, not to say exceptional, of munic-
qualities. Unfortunately, however, some of the
really honest and efficient public servants who
thought Mr.. Mayor Prince too high-minded and
too free from partisan bias to turn them out Of
their places, soon discovered their mistake. HAY

Governor Chamberlain's propositions for
a settlement of the South Carolina dispute,
are so emiuently fair that the rejection Of
them by Hampton discredits his case.
Chamberlain is willing to submit the cleo
ton returns for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor TO n commission of five persons
who shall have full power TO investigate
and their decision to be final; or he is
willing that the election returns for mem
bers of the House of Representatives shall
be submitted 10 commission of five per-
sons with power to send for person and pa
pers and investigate alleged frauds and ir-
regularities, and declare who are elected
members of the House, and the members
so declared elected shall be organized as
a legislative body, to whom the returns
for Governor and Lieut.. Governor shall be
submitted, and they shall ascertain and
declare who has been elected to those of
fees. The mode of choosing the COM
mission is equally fair to both parties.

The city election in St. Louis will take
place TO day. Things arc very much
mixed politically The two candidates
for Mayor are republicans, and the
remainder of one of the tickets is composed
of democrats, and OF the other of demo-
.crats and republicans. The first ticket is
supported by one of the democratic dailes,
and the second by the other. The cleo
tion to-day will place the city completely
under the new charter. That instrument
gives wide power and responsibility to the
Mayor, and provides for an Assembly COM
posed of two houses, one of them chosen by
general ticket to represent the whole
city, the other chosen to represent the
wards. ample power being invested in the
Assembly and the executive officers to ad-
minister the affairs of a large Independent
municipality, but with their authority TO
levy and expend taxes and contract debt
vigorously limited.

lecture on the art of making home happy, in the

of recent date said Of the lecture: LAST Thurs
day evening we were entertained by Mr.. Sands Of
Saco, with his inmtabc lecture on Sunshine, or
How to make Home Happy. Mr.. Sands minglcs
the comic with the sentimental, the tragic with
the commonplace, the useful and enta in a
manner perfectly delightful; and if the good sound
advice it contained was needed and followed, we
will venture to say that many home was made
happier and many care lightened, which had
weighed it down for years"

swollen the Penobscot and saltwater branch to
height hardly ever attained before. 1t seemed at
one time though the ice in the Stilwate
branch would make q clear sweep of the entire
river. but fortsnatey it cleared off cold, thus him
dering the sudden breaking up Of the ice. Satur-
day forenoon the ice moved out gradually, doing
but little damage. On the PenObscot all the dam
age done OF any account was at the mills in Yea
ze, which were shattered and wrecked quite
badly.

BOwdOin College Notes.

The class Of rs is called to mourn the loss OF
much -honored and esteemed member. Three
years ago, two intimate friends, who had lived in
the same town, attended the same &C ademy at
Exeter, N. H., and were inseparable as broth
ers, came to Bowdon, with the fairest prospects
which lives Of purity could promise. The elder,
Franklin Dyer. died before the completion of his
Freshman year, and now his life long companion
has followed him, with suddenness which throws
deep gloom over the entire college.
Otis W. Garland WAS young man of strict in
tegrity and the highest moral character. 1t must
be a consolation to his friends and relatives as il
is the pride of his class. that his college record
was absolutely without flaw. Not single deed
Of his has the faint of dshonor. A large circle of
friends bitterly mourn his premature death, but
they can but feel from the nobleness OF his lie,
that due preparation had been made, and that
death found him ready.
The deceased lived in Gloucester, Mass, where
the last memorial services were held Monday, on
which occasion his class had alarge representation
in respect for his memory.

California has made remarkable pro-
gress in developing an extended system
of railways. OF the four thousand miles
of railroad in the Pacific States and terri
tories the golden land has nearly one-half.
The fact that California built over fourteen
per cent. of all the road constructed in the
United States during 1876 is proof OF her
industry 10 that direction. The Southern
Pacific is going rapidly forward. 1t is
the intention TO extend the North Pacific
Coast road up Russian-river valley, and ul-
timately to Humboldt Bay, tapping a rich
agricultural region and the inexhaustible
supply of redwood timber around that bay.
1t is probable that for 1877, as in 1876, the
southern part of the State will secure the
lions share of the new road.
