The Wisconsin Indian scare originated In a
Scandinavian settlement in the northwestern
part Of the State, where some Indians got to-
gether and had dance in drunken condi-
ton, and dema nded more whisky, with threats.
The Scandinavians, not being used to crowds
OF inebriated red men, fed and spread the
story of an Indian uprising The scare was
pretty general through two or three counties,
the people deserving their houses and giving
tramps fine opportunity for plumber.

Whether the exhibition at Paris is to be
held responsible for the present taste for all
that is gaudy, it would be difficult to tell, but
one fact is certain-the French dressmakers
and milliners have set their wits to work to
produce fashions which may please the taste
according to their notions, and having set
them, have fallen into the trap themselves,
and all Paris is now seized with fever for
eccentric dress.

THE Boston Herald wants to know the
causes of the alienation between Maine and
Massachusetts. A long summers day would
not suffice to tell them all. But here is one:
The treatment of Maine men and Maine
troops by Massachusetts in the war of 1872.
Two instance we will mention. William Wild
gerry, the Maine representative who sustained
the declaration of war, barely escaped with
his life from Newburyport mob on his way
home from the capital. Maine soldiers Jared
scarcely better. The company recruited in
York county for the Third United States
Artillery was hooted in every town in Mas
sachusetts through which it passed on its way
to the Lakes, and on the shop-doors of many
of the villages was scrawled this legend in
chalk: ''Down with the war-hawks." On
their return home our soldiers received quite
as shabby treatment. With true Yankee
thrift the men of Massachusetts charged
them exorbitant prices for so slight things as
glass of milk or moTsel of bread. Their
homeward march through Massachusetts
might be depicted in Pauldings lines:
'Saved this good land and when the tug was Ger
Begged their way home at every scoundreps door,"
The truth is Massachusetts, was disloyal to
the very heart in that war. She medltated
treason but wanted the courage to achieve it.
Naturally she desires that this shameful part
of her history shall be forgotten. Appar-
emily the Herald never learned it. But the
memory of insult and abuse has not yet died
cut of the minds of Maine people.

dollar of the fathers is handled with a freedom
that those early patriots would have been glad
to emulate. and the trade question is met with
much sense and practical power. The Tariff
Question, which raises its horrid head in ma
tional legislation with the same unpleasing
regularity as does the perfumed porgy in the
councils of our State, is successfully tackled by
Mr.. White. These are readable pamphlets aud

Rev. o. B. Frothingham's Memoir OF the
late Gerrit Smith, New York: G. P. Putnam s
Sons; Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony is a
work exceedingly full and interesting in detail
and large and appreciative in manner, with the
clear, thoughtful and free spirit that charac.
terizes Mr.. Frothingham's writings Gerrit
Smith was born philsnthropist and reformer
in his heart glowed equal fires Of love and zeal;
not seldom mistaken in his views and in the
mode of enforcing them, his impulses and his
convictions were those of a generous nature,
lacking, however-as the nature of a promi-
nent rsformer is apt to do-the sense of pro-
portion. Every new movement, whether sect
arian, benevolent, political or purely fantastic,
appears to have possessed some interest for
Gerrit Smith. To his lasting honor be it said
that form of progress which most enlisted his
enthusiastic sympathy was the Abolition of
Slavery-which, beginning in shadow of dis
approval and popular distrust and ridicule,
later became the patent of nobility to those
brave and illuminated souls who recognized 10
its pathetic and tremulous appeal the far-off
voice of heavenly opportunity In those days
man needed no small provision of moral
courage, OF original conviction, OF selt-sacrlhce
to confront public sentiment, the traditions Of
the elders, and-blndess aod most uuwieldy of
all-the existing condition of things. Those
men who saw the right so promptly and held
to it unfinchingly-the first abolitionists-gave
to their children the legacy of land from
which, with what measure of strength they
had, they had shaken burden of oppression
most unsuitable to the country whose corner
stone is Freedom. With the abolition Of slav-
cry, Gerrit Smiths name will always be held
in remembrance; and the acts and traits re-
corded of him in this memoir harmonize
with or shed fresh light upon this pivotal prin-
ciple of his life. Eccentric, over-enthusiastic,
incongruous even, as his views often were, they
were always the sincere thought of man who,
full of all charity, lived according to his light.
