The Maine democracy are not altogether
happy and united over tie results of their
state convention last week. The liberals
carried the candidate for governor, but the
bourbons got the better of the platform.

Newfane to visit relatives Friday and re-
turned to Brattleboro that evening. Sat

EDITOR FREEMAN:
We are pleased to be able to write you
that the authorities of a certain town. IN
this county, have been, Or are about to be,
prosecuted for damages accruing on the
highway from the stepping OF horse
upon rolling stone. As the information
came from one of the selectmen of the
town, it must be reliable. We are wicked
enough TO rejoice at this movement. If
the matter is carried up to the County
Court, all the better Let this evil,-this
shameful nuisance of loose or cobble
stones in the highway-be shown up,-let
it have public airing.
And if the damages given are exemplary,
better still.
We have done some preaching, with
this evil for our text; have done this by
appeal to those having charge of
the roads; and, to some extent, through
the press.
But preaching uron the subject is of no
avail. People must be pressed upon their
pockets, and their attention will be prompt
" given. D.T.A.

No doubt there are atrocities enough on
both sides in the Turko- Russian war to
sustain the common verdict that it is the
most cruel war of all modern times. But
there is reason to believe that some of the
more awful stories of Russian outrages are
manufactured in Constantinople with a
view of affecting public opinion in western
Europe and America. The London Times
correspondent there, Mr.. Austin, who was
formerly on service for that Journal in
this country, and isa man of the best char
acter, gives details of the tampering with
correspondents and their reports for this
purpose, and also tells of one correspon-
dent of London paper who offered to
send anything which the authorities desir-
ed, if they would give him advantages over
his rivals in real news. Mr.. Austin con
cludes that it is difficult, perhaps mpossi-
BILE, for persons known as correspondents
to transmit from the provinces any news
not favorable to the Turks. The arts of
deceit, Of infdeity, not to waste synonyms,
of lying, are fine arts with the Turks, and
it will be safe to make some discounts
from their stories of the wanton cruelty Of
their opponents in this war.

The great telescope of the Naval Obscr-
vatory at Washington has signalized it.
selfby one of the most remarkable discov-
cries ofmodern astronomy-nothing less,
in fact than the discovery of one satellite,
and probably two, to the planet Mars
This is considered the most important as
Economical achievement since the discov-
cry of the planet Neptune by Leverrier,
the celebrated French astronomer. In its
appearance it is a, faint object about the
size of II star Of the thirteenth or four
teenth or fourteenth magnitude, and its
distance from the planet is between four
teen and fifteen thousand miles, which is
less than that Of any other known satel-
lite from its primary, and only about one
sixteenth the distance of the moon from
the earth. The other satellite, as to the
existence of which astronomers are not
yet absolutely certain, is still closer. The
diameter of the new satellite is very
small, not more than one hundred miles.
Its time of revolution is about thirty
hours.

Henry Darncll murdered two men in
Lake county, Tenn, several years ago,
but was never arrested for his crime. He
was very wealthy and influential, and he
constantly kept gang of desperados near
him to fight off any officers who might at
tempt to take him. In that way he cowed
the representatives of the law; but lately
he grew tired of maintaining body guard.
and decided that he would be tried by n
court. He intended, however, that the
result should be an acquittal, and, to guard
against inconvenience in case of a convic-
ton, he declared that he would be guard
ed during the trial by his own outlaws.
He would not 60 to Jail nor put himself in
the custody of the Sheriff. The trial was
begun, and the Judge ordered the Sheriff
to capture the culprit. The Sheriff refused
to make the attempt. Then the Judge
telegraphcd to Memphis for military
company, whereupon Darnell retreated
into Kentucky, and the trial was suspend
ed.

The extraordinary intelligence has been
received in England of the disappearance
of two islands-the Barker Islands-and
their inhabitants, Capt. Fisher, Tasma
MAN capitalist, purchased from the West
Australian Government the right to re-
move guano from two islands on the
coast, described on the chart and known
as the Barker Islands, and situated in lat.
40 S, and long. 1859 E. Capt. Fisher
dispatched three vessels in April with H.
borers and appliances for shipping the
guano, but when the vessels arrived at
the place where the islands were known
TO be, there was nothing to be seen but
water. The islands had disappeared cnli-
rely, how and when is at present mys-
terry. 1t was generally supposed that Aus
traIia lay out of the line of active volcanic
agency, so that the phenomenon is all the
more remarkable.

-Four persons returning from the Cen
tennial, Friday evening, while taking sup
per together at the Central House at Essex
junction, related their experience with
pickpockets, as follows: DR.. j. S. Spaul-
ding, of Barre had a memorandum book
containing SIG taken from his pockets at
Rutland, on the departure of the three
o'clock train north, on Friday afternoon.
Mr., 3. S. Camp, of Montpelier, losta gold
watch and chain valued at $3.50, at the
same time and place. Hon. Joseph Po-
land, of Montpelier, had diamond pin
taken from his shirt bosom, at Benninp.
ton, on Thursday, which he recovered and
caused the arrest of the thief. The Ben
nington police, however, allowed the
scamp to escape from court while his ex-
animation was in progress, b. Fand-

tanning 800, at Bennington, Thursday, by
the hands of the light fingered gentleman.

CIRCUMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
About year ago, Rubenstein, Polish
Jew, was arrested, tried and found guilty
of the murder of Sara Alexander, 9
Jewess. A post norton examination
showed the girl to be pregnant and the
theory was that there had been criminal
intimacy between the two, and that Rub
enstein had killed her to conceal It, lie
was sentenced to be hung, and protesting
his innocence, starved himself to death.
The case was peculiar one, and there
were not wanting those who believed in
his protestations of innocence. But he
died all the same, and his old father and
mother also died of grief, and the Ruben
stein family were ruined. And now comes
a man named Huber, who confesses that IL
was he who killed the Alexander girl, and
that Rubensten was innocent. He gave
IL full and circumstantial account as to how
he became possessed of Rubenstein's knife
and boots, and is so crcumstantial in his
account, that there can be but little doubt
that his statement is correct. The affair
shows how dangerous it is to trust to de-
tectives in such cases. They have direct
interest in finding some one guilty for I'M
less they can discover criminal, OF what
use are they? And so when they fail to
find the murderer, they fasten the crime
upon the first person that suspicion can be
directed against, and if they haven't evil
dence they make it. There is but little
doubt that poor Rubensten WAS worried
into his grave and that the detectives are
guilty of the death of him and his entire
family.

THE STORM YEAR.

This season has been been made memor
able by the number and severity Of the
storms that have swepr over this coast.
Never in the history of the city has there
been so many or so violent. Last Sunday
night, Copy Island, on which at the time
were more than fifty thousand visitors,
was swept by IL storm that was MS severe
us it was unexpected. Bathing houses
were taken up and carried bodily quar-
ter of mile inland, tables on the piazzas
were swept away, and men and women
sitting at them were hurled violently
against the walls of the buildings. Fortu-
nately The hotels were sufficiently strong
to resist the beating of the winds, else
there would have been terrible loss OF
life. There is thunderstorm or two
every day, and the nights are made lively
by the same agency. 1t was amusing last
Sunday on the boats that carry New York
out to get breath of fresh air on the wa.
ter. On the boat to Fire Island there were
seven hundred passengers, furious storm
came up and every one of the seven hun
bred was sea-sick. The sight of seven
hundred people vomiting at once is not
often vouchsafed, and it would have been
amusing had not the behoder been too
busy with his own individual sickness to
enjoy that of others.

THE BIG CAMP-MEETING

at Ocean Grove. New Jersey, is in active
operation. At this now famous place there
are substantial cottages that shelter resi-
dent population ofseven thousand, who stay
there all the summer, and the tents ac-
commodate as many more. The place is
owned by an association who enforce the
most ultra religious rules. intoxicating
drinks cannot be had for love or money,
boating and all classes of amusements are
prohibited on the Sabbath. Aside from the
printed regulations there is moral inGu-
ence that makes it extremely difficult for
Il sinner to be comfortable in the prosecu-
ton of any kind of semi-sinful or even
frivolous amusement. The business Of
the place is religion, and it is very close
ly followed. There are meetings at day
light, and then all the day, with intervals
Of rest, and till ten o'clock at night, Mrs
Lizzie Cook is there cxhorting dozen
times a day, as well as Mrs. Van Colt,
and all the noted reyivalsts. The singing

end being to get up rs much religious fer

exercises. 1t is an immense success this

Emigrants, who had given up the state as
