FAlRLEE.
The large two story dwelling
house and horse barn, owned by
Hammond Porter, near Abbott's
mills took fire last week Thursday
afternoon between two and three
o'clock, in the ell part, and was EN-.
tirely consumed with most of the
clothing in the house. The furni-
ture was mostly saved, but seven
tubs of butter and whatever was in
the cellar was destroyed. Also six
pigs. Thanks are due to the in hab-
itants of Fairlee and Oxford for
their eXertions in saving other
buildings whic h must have been
burned but for great efforts.

SENATOR HOWE.

The Appleton Posts remarks concern
ing the above gentleman so fully ex-
press our own opinion that we give
them entire:
cit IS by no means certain that Sena-
tor Howe is not to receive the appoint
n-ent TO the Supreme bench for which
place many of his friends have been
urging him. He has the endorsement
of many of his colleagues in the Senate
besides that of Secretary Sherman and
other influential members of the official
household.
"All those vino know the distinguish
ed Senator, either personally or by rep
utation, will rejoice to learn of his favor
able prospects. His appointment to
that position will be no less the gain of
the whole country than an honor to
himself. Senator Howe is eminently
fitted for this exalted station. He has
had large legal experience both as a
practitioner at the bar and on the bench
IN this state. He would bring to the
Supreme tribunal logical mind richly
frelghted with legal lore. His appoint
ment would be a substantial evidence of
civil service reform upon which the
present administration is disposed to
pride ITSELF

DR.. MARY WALKER has sued Walter
Il. Baker, the principal door keeper of
the United States Treasury, for turning
her out of the Treasury building. She
was writing letter when he accostea
her, and said that she was citizen of
the United States, and had as much
right there as anybody. Baker said
that he had been ordered to keep her
out, and if she did not leave he would
have to put her out. She caught up
her writing and walked away from him,
when he followed her up and caught
hold of her wrist with one hand.
and put his other arm around
her waist and walked her out through
the door and down the steps, During
this time she called loudly to the Secre-
tary and others to come and see how an
American citizen was being treated in
public place. The case las not vet
been tried. The Treasury women should
not have such bad examples set before
them. A horlid man with his arms

COST OF ADAILY NEWSPAPER.

The Chicago Inter Ocean has been
running for five years. Its entire ex-
pense account foots up 81. $50. O0O. and
as 1t has Sunday edition. this renders
the expenditure at least 81 ,O0C per day.
OF course tbs expense account is not
all loss. But we suppose the Inter-
Ocean has sunk 800. 600 in order to oct
a good foothold. 1t yet scarcely paws
expenses, but is fast approaching that
desirable point. When it reaches that
bay of safety, it's prosperity must be
oaae00rd. 1t is confessedly one of the
best newspapers in the United States.
and some of its writers are very able.
particularly Curtis, who is making his
mark as one of the most readable and
graphic correspondents of the age. We
hope the time will soon come when the
Inter Ocean will be considered of full
value to its share holders for the $780,
600 which they have sunk.
At one time the Chicago Tribune was
considered worth 100000, for it
could not have divided less than $780,
900 per annum. The day of prosperity
may ultimately come to the Inter Ocean
The Republican, which preceded the
Inter Ocean, could not have sunk
less than $500, 900, and it WIS finally
merged in the Inter-Ocean. Outsiders
will thus understand that it costs some
thing to establish daily newspaper in
an American city. It has been estima-
ted that nearly So, 000,0C0 per annum
have been sunk during the past four
years in newspapers, magazines, &C.,
in one form or other, in the United
States, and it is curious fact that there
are always more fools ready to invest in
additional newspaper establishments
We talk in America about the scarcity
of capital, but there is no country in the
world where so much capital is wasted

Mrs. STELLA WINTERS, well educa-
ted and charming young lady, was
driven into insanity by drudgery in a
public school near Milwaukee,. She
overtasked herself by assuming the
management of very troublesome pupils
many of whom were nearly as old as
herself. The work unnerved her and
shattered her reason. Last SATURDAY.
she was so overcome with WEAKNESS that
she resolved to go to her fathers home
III Madison, where she could rest over
Sunday. The next morning she remain
ed at home, while her father (who is
clergyman and the other members of
the family went to church. When they
returned they found her lying in bed
and moaning piteously that she was
weary-''tired of Hfe"-s'tired of wan
derlng." She had taken strychnine in
a piece of an orange while laboring I'M
der mental arrangement. The recent
suicides of the Cornell student and the
schoolgirl III Western New York were
sad enough, but the fate of this over
worked young teacher is even more

THE CONDITION OF GERMANY.

All the Advices from Germany are to
the effect that the political condition of
that country is really critical on account
of the intense industrial depression.
When there are over 40, 900, 900 of in
nabltauts crowded into a space smaller
than that of France; when the wages of
labor are cut off from tens of thousands
who have no other means of support, it
produces serious political discomfort and
possible upheaval of existing institu-
lions. Where governments are the uni
versal agent of doing everything, as
they are i'll Europe, the people have
good cause for censuring the govern
ment when the times are sore, and there
fore a spirit of communism and revolt
ution gradually interlaces the whole ba-
sis of society.
Il is notorious that at the present time
Germany has more unemployed work
men than any other county, because
the manufactures which she used to
supply to other countries are in great
measure supplied by Belgium and
France. Recently she has found that
she could not compete in cheapness with
those countries, and as a consequence
her manufactures are closed, even Ito a
greater extent than those in the United
States.
When Germany, with a strong hand,
extorted 1000, 00O,0 from France,
every individual German thought he
would be rich. The result has been
that it has made the rich much richer
and the poor much poorer for the pie
thora of that money advanced the prices
of all consumable articles, and wages
too. But the wages i'll proportion to
he hot ha
sumes in his own household, Specu-
lators made money, but laborers did not
So the latter has been gradually growing
poorer and poorer for the past five years
until he has become SO discontinued
that he is ripe for revolution. When a
nation becomes thus honeycombed 1t is
liz grave condition. The people also
perceive that the expenses OF the gov
eminent are continually increasing,
while the resources of the taxpayers are
steadily diminishing.
There can be no que stion that If the
German people once become thoroughly
tinctured with the revolutionary spirit,
that even the large standing army could
not keep it down. There are occasions
when the will of the people becomes
irrepressible. The Germans are slow,
patient ard fcrbearing, but when they
get thoroughly mad and sullen they are
particularly dangerous to the Govern
ment, and there are many sagacious
minds who think they perceive that the
German mass, if the industrial depres-
sion much longer continues, will move
with an irresistible power against the
existing organization of Society.
France had her fearful revolution in
1880, and Germany may have hers a
century afterwards.

THAT was very hateful farmer. We
mean the one who put pepper on his hay
when he came to town. Tt was fun
for the boys to see those two COWS
throw up their heads and tails, and run
one way and then another, stopping
short at each turn as if their tails were
tied together, and then, how they'd
whirl around and scrape the ground and
below and cape and rub their noses
was enough to make one think they had
the hydrophobia. But it was cruel.
The farmer said he had been to town
twice the week before with box full of
nice hay, and half bushel OF corn to
feed his horses, and when he got ready
there wasn't bit left. He said he
thought town people condimented their
victuals more than country folks, and he
thought to spice the hay would make it
more suitable for town cows. Grant

Washington letter,

A Washington letter, printed on
another page, shows clearly that Presi-
dent Hayes Southern policy is far less
likely to excite active opposition to his
Administration than his Civil Service
reforms. The Southern policy, while it
may allow one or two Republican points
of defence to fail into Democratic hands
will, if ii succeeds, certainly strengthen
the party in States where it is now u tier
ly rowerless, and will give it as a whole
a rank it has never had in the South be-
fore. But the Civil Service policy
threatens to deprive a great number OF
politicians of their whole machinery OF
elf-aggrandizement. While the men of
ability will welcome it. as a release from
an harrassing system, the small Con-
gressman-and there are great many
small Congressman-will make a long
struggle for his patronage. 1t is from
these men that hostility is to be looked
for. But President Hayes has a way
of winning his fights, in politics as well
as on the feld.-M Y Tribune.
