The Maine Convention.

The main issue at the Republican Cony en-
ton of Maine, as in that Of Ohio, was
whether President Hayes should be endorsed
as to his Southern policy" When the
committee on resolutions reported, Gen-
Joshua L. Chamberlain, formerly Governor
| Of Maine and now President Of Bowdon
College, rose and expressed his surprise that
the resolutions contained no endorsement oil
the President. lie declared that President
Hayes was but carrying out the principles
announced in the platform Of the Republl-
can party and in his own letter OF accept
ance that if he does not represent the par
ty we have no national party; and in strong
and earnest speech he urged the Republl-
cans of Maine to stand by the President as
the head of the party. lie offered reso-
luton, expressing ''unshaken confidence in
the integrity, patriotism and statesmanship
of Rutherford B. Hayes" and cordially ap-
proving his "efiorts to carry out IN good
faith the principles avowed by the Cincir-
natl Convention.
When Gen. Chamberlain closed, Capt.
Boutelle, editor of the Bangor Wing. offer
ed substitute, declaring that Governors
Chamberlain and Packard were legally elect
ed Governors Of South Carolina and Louisi-
ana, and that the failure to recognize them
placed the Government in the attitude of sur
rendering to the rebels. The applause
which greeted Gov. Chamberlain resolution
was loud and long, but that which followed
Capt. RoutelIe's resolution was deafening.
The threatened division in the Convention
was settled by speech by Senator Blaine.
The two resolutions offered, he said, showed
a difference existing in the ranks of the Re-
publican party, neither resolution could
be adopted without offending good men and
creating heart-burnings. They had strong
platform on which they could agree. Let
them unite on that. lie was as ready to
vote against a resolution condemning the
Presidents policy, as against one approving
it. He was for peace and union and solid
front against the Democracy and on his
motion both resolutions were laid on the
table by vote of four to one. The action
of the Convention was decided endorsement
of Mr.. Blaine, who was, Tor the nineteenth
time, placed at the head of the State Com
mittee. He has never yet led his party to
defeat in that State and we do not believe
he will do so this year. In Maine, as in Ohio,
The Republicans propose to hold each his
own opinion in regard to the Southern poll
cy of the Administration but they do not
propose to quarrel about the matter. They
force no fight with the Administration, or
among themselves and in this they are
wise. They have good candidate in Gov.
Connor, who is popular Governor; and
they will re-elect him.

| SHE HAD MovED.-The Orpheus Glee Club,
of our place, concluded to serenade Miss
| Peterson upon n certain evening. One or
| two of the members were little tender
| about Miss Peterson, and they thought that
| maybe they might make n favorable impress
| sion by giving her little midnight music.
| Unfortunately, upon the very day of the Ser
| enade, old Peterson moved his family about
| four blocks down the street, and his house
was taken by an old German butcher named
Frick. The Glee Club hadn't heard the
news, and late in the evening they went
| around. Ranging themselves upon the pave
ment they tuned up and began. They sang
| a couple of songs without obtaining any re-
sponse from the fair Peterson, although one
of the infatuated members was encouraged
by the conviction that he saw something
white at one of the upper windows. Finally
while they were dashing bravely through
"Come where my love lies dreaming" the
sash in the second story went up with crash,
and head was protruded. When the song
ended Peter Lamb had barely time to say
There she is !" when the voice of Frick
tioated down to them
Say poys, you have one larch, big stun

"You don't understand" said Mr. Boggs
''We were singing-a serenade, you know"
"Ah, ha You COON to serenade me? You

Never you mind, now where has she

'Ill see aboud dod. You waid dill l COON

About three minutes later, German gen
tleman named Frick emerged from the back
of the house carrying pistol and accom-
panied by dog the size Of q Bengal tiger.
As soon as the Club saw the dog they scat
tered, and as the last man turned to run, Mr..
Frick called after him
"Poys, Nond you shtay und sing all hide

COLLYER To STRlKERS.-RObert COllyer
delivered very sensible and characteristic
speech at Chicago at the meeting of citizens
to discuss what action should be taken IN rc
the strike. lie said 81 don't think this is
a time for preaching, :his is time for
practice The wisest and bravest and hest
thing we can do has got to be done now.
We are going to take care OF our city what
ever comes. We arc cOwed by an insigniii
cant mob The great wheels of commerce
and trade are stopped by an insignificant
mob. ! cannot expect to live long, in course
of nature thought might live twenty
ycars-l would like to. DO you know, lcl-
low citizens, as God lives and as my soul
lives, would rather die in twenty minutes
in defence of order and of our homes, against
these men, than to live twenty years of a.
happy life as have lived all these fifty
years. My thought was this, that we should
have special committees in the wards and
districts of our city that We should organize
a force of 20 900 constables that we should
subscribe 81 ,OOO. 900 as a fund to be drawn
on to take care OF these men who are acting
with us, but who cannot take care of them
selves. | am poor, but am willing to give
500 to begin with. That is my speech,
gentlemen and follow-citlzens. don't
think any man will doubt my heart is with
the workingmen. have been one myself.
] am rather that in some sort oil n way now.
My heart is with them, but know that
every dollars worth of property destroyed
in this city IL going to come at last on the
workingmen, more hardly and bitterly than
it can come on any other class of men
Therefore want to save these workingmeD

VINO Was CAsABANCA Owen Casabian-
ca was a native Of Corsica, on which island
be was born, in the year 1888. His father
was Louis Casabianca, a distinguished
French politician and naval commander, and
the friend of Napoleon. He was captain at
this time Of the Orient, one Of the largest
yessels,in the French navy, magnificent ship
of-war, carrying 100 guns and 500 seamen.
of Casabianca' S mother we know little, save
that she was a young and beautiful Corsi-
clan lady, and devotedly attached to her son.
Owen was her only child, a handsome,
manly little fellow, with her beauty in his
flashing eyes and dusky hair. She died
while he was yet quite young, and when
the green sod was placed above her grave,
the boy lett the pleasant valley under the
smiling hills of Corsica to go with his father
and tread the hard deck of war vessel.
Mere child As he was, Casabianca soon grew
to love his fathers dangerous calling, and
became favorite with all on board. lie
was made midshipman, and at the early age
Of ten years participated with his father in
the battle of the Nile. The ship caught fire
during the action. Soon after, Capt.
Casabianca, the father, was wounded by a
musket ball. Not yet disabled, he was struck
in the head some minutes later by splinter,
which laid him upon the deck insensible.
HIS gallant son, unconscious of the chief
tain's doom, still held his post at the bat
tery, where he worked like the hero he was
lie saw the flames raging around him he
saw the ships crew deserting him one by
one, and the boy was urged to flee. With
courage and coolness beyond his years. he
refused to desert his post. Worthy son Of
Louis Basabianca, he fought on, and never
abandoned the Orient till the whole of the
immense vessel was in flames. Then seek
ing refuge on floating mast, he left the
burning ship behind him. But he was too
late. The final catastrophe came like the
judgment doom. With an explosion SO
tremendous that every ship felt it to the bot
tom, the Orient blew up, and from among
the wreck the next morning was picked uI
the dead. mangled body of the young hero,
whose story romance and poetry can not
make more heroic than it was.-Y Youth,

Such fun as we had one rainy day,
When father was home and helped Us play
We made a ship and hoisted sail,
And crossed the sea IN a fearful gale
But We hadn't sailed into London Town.
When captain and crew and vessel went down.
Down. down in Jolly wreck,
With the captain rolling under the deck.
But he broke out again with lions roar.
And We on two legs, he on four,
Ran out Of the parlor and up the stair,
And frightened mamma and the baby there.
So mamma said she'd be p'lice man now,
And tried to rest US. che didn't know how
Then the lion laughed and forgot to roar,
Till we CHASED him cut OF the nursery door;
And then he turned to n pony gay.
And carried us all on his back away.
whippity. lickity, hick ETY. no!
II we hadn't fun then don't know!
Till we tumbled off and be cantered on.
Never stopping to see if his load was gone.
And couldn't tell any more than he
Which was Charlie and which was me.
Or which was Tower, for all in a mix
You'd think three people had turned to six.
Till Towers tail was caught in the door;
He wouldn't hurrah with us any more.
And mamma came out the rumpu US to quiet,
And told us q story to break up the riot.

An Extraordinary Fishing Experience.
From the Burlington Hawkeye.

frOm hdWheye
All the large fish are rot caught in the
eastern waters. The other day, Mr.. Isaac
C. Heron, Agency avenue, this city, was
angling for the fnny inhabitants of the
limpid Mississippi up in Judge Simpon' S
fishing grounds, above Oquawka. He was
fishing with hand-line and had met with
only moderate success until about / o'clock
in the morning, when the line was seized
and ran out with such violent rapidity that
it set one of the wooden rowlocks, around
which it had taken a turn, on fire. In his
efforts to extinguish the flames and capture
the fish, Mr.. Heron upset the boat and was
thrown into deep water. The line was
tangled about one of his legs, which serious
ly impeded him in his efforts to regain the
boat and right it. Fortunately, he managed
to get hold of an oar, which assisted him in
keeping his head over water. The fish,
meanwhile, was rapidly towing him out into
the river, and Mr.. Heron, now thoroughly
frightened, gave up all hopes of securing it,
and. bent only on saving himself, shouted
Justify for help, for he was utterly unable to
break the line. His cries for help attracted
the attention Of some rlftmen, who immed-
lately manned boat and started to the res
cue of the unfortunate man, whose eondi-
tion was now of extreme peril. The fish,
however. rapidly tOwed its almost exhausted
victim over to the Iowa shore before the raft
men could reach him, pulled him up on the
bank, ran in the woods with him,
climbed a tree and hauled Mr.. Heron
up after it, and was lust on the point of cut
ting his throat with his dorsal fin, when the
limb on which they were seated broke and
precipitated them both to the ground, where
the raftmen, who had Just come up, killed
the FISH with boat hooks. 1t proved to be
what is known as 'channel catfish, and
weighed, when dressed. pound and half
and was nearly FIVE inches long. Mr.. II r
ron, although bruised and exhausted by his
fright and rough handling, is not seriously
injured, and is able to be about as usual,

The TRUE History OF THE "CovERDALI
BIBLE. Mr.. Henry Stevens, the eminent
antiquarian, gives an interesting account Of
the solution by bis persistent and untiring
labors of the uncertainty which has long at
tached to the production of the "Coyerdale
Bible"-the earliest complete issue Of the
Scriptures printed in English. 1t has hith-
erto been supposed that this translation was
the work of Miles Coverdale, once an eccle-
siastic of the Augustine order who, renounc-
ing the Romish faith, took uD his residence
on the Continent, where he produced the
volume which bears his name The locality
where it was printed was uncertain, more
Continental cities contending for the honor
than there were Greek cities claiming to be
the birthplace of Homer. The prolonged re-
searches Of Mr.. Stevens have succeeded
where the labors of many other able anti
quarians and bibliographers have failed.
lie has established cOnclusively the fact that
the Coyerdale Bible was printed at Ant
werp in 1885, and that the real translator Of
the work was Jacob Van Meteren, belong
ing to Protestant family of Antwerp, who
employed Coyerdale in the work of revision
and publication. This is entirely in accord.
ance with expressions in Coverdale's preface
to the reader, wherein he intimates that he
is not the author, though his scholarship and
accuracy in the work of revision and correc.
tion entitle him to a large share in the credit
attaching to the undertaking. The book
was sent in sheets from Antwerp to London
and published in English binding. Towards
the end of the reign of Edward VI, Jacot
Van Meteren and his wife Ottilia, daughter
Of William 0rtelius, finding Antwerp un.
safe on account Of their religion, were re
moving to London, when the ship in which
they embarked was burnt and sunk by
French cruiser, and they perished in tht
catastrophe.
