his horse taking fright at some sheaves
of wheat which fell from Mr.. Lynam's
wagon, causing the horse to upset tn.

slderably, but causing no serious injury
to the parties. After righting up they
returned to the city.
AT night the boys closed the 4th with

Smirching New England Credit.

BOSTON, Dec 1, 1879.
To the Editor of the Press:
see by Geographic despatch to the Sum-
day Herald, that the town of Bucksport intends
to follow the bad example of Wiscasset in re-
pudiating its honest debts. Until this ques-
tionable move on the part of the latter town,
the people of Maine have always been con-
sidered as honest New Englanders who would
make any sacrifice rather than have the stain
of reputation rest upon them. The taunts
that have been flung at Mississippi and Illinois
in the past are, it appears, now to be with equal
Justice applied to New England towns, not
only much to the modification, but to the Sc
rious pecuniary loss of that honest portion of
them who desire to preserve their hitherto I'M
unblemished financial integrity.
Let us see for moment how this action of
Wiscasset becomes a boomerang upon other
Maine securities. Capital is naturally sensi-
tive and the effect is seen here in pressure to
sell the bonds of other Maine towns and an in
disposition TO invest in them, so much so that
from to per cent decline has taken place
in many heretofore unquestioned.
Bath, Rockland, Gardiner, Augusta and even
Portland securities have been affected by this
move of Wiscasset, and let Bucksport or any
other town but follow its example and holders
of town and city bonds may be prepared to
wipe off good round percentage on the market
value of their securities.
1 think there was some truth IN the remark
made to me by gentleman the other day, who
held some Maine securities, "that it would
have paid the holders of town and city bonds
in the State of Maine, in the maintained value
of their securities, to have stood general as
sessment for the payment of Wiscasset's inter-
est, rather than have had it defaulted."
Yours, BUSINESS.

They attempted to justify their course on the
ground that the law of 1877, permitting cor co.,
-rections of RETURNS fa-' L.
constitutional, THIS usurping the prerogative
of the suprerss Court. The Republicans will
now annly for writ of mandamus.
Bey,nd speech by Senator Burnside in ad-
vesacy of the strict observance of the Monroe
doctrine, and a resolution which was refused
declaring that it was the sense of the House
that no change should be made in the currency
laws this session, no business of any conse-
quence was transacted in Congress yesterday
A fearful explosion of fre-damp has occurred

WEDNESDAY MORNING, DEC. 8.

as "like this country, the fairest daughter OF
q fair mother" Under the wise rule OF her
energetic Emperor, and with her splendid re-
sources glorious future is surely before her.
But to return to Paraguay, which selected
az a typical Christian mission field, and where,
according to Voltaire, the work accomplished
nv the ,Jesuits" seemed to be in some respects
the triumph of humanity" Speaking OF the
Jesuits in Paraguay Sir Woodbine Parish says;
'Tn century and half upwards OF million
Indians were converted to Christianity by
them, and taught to be contented under the
mild and peaceful rule of their enlightened
and paternal pastors-a blessed lot wheh con-
trasted with the savage condition oil the unfe-
claimed tribes around them" How this was
accomplished amidst the greatest labors, hard
ships and perils, how as numbers OF clergy
were martyred by the cannibals their places
were filled by others, would require volume
to set forth. So prejudiced writer as Southey
allows that sat the close of the 18th century
the Indians of the Reductions were brave,
industrious and comparatively polished peo-
pie. They were good carvers, good workers III
metals, goods handicrafts in general; and the
women manufactured calico OF the nhest
quality. Not only was the knowl-
edge Of reading, writing and arithmetic liter,
ally universal but some were aoie W leao
Spanish and Latin as well as their own
tongue" And in 1921 the Bishop OF B9enos
Ayres reports to Philip V. of Spain: Their
Innocence is so universal that | do not believe
a mortal sin is committed in these Reductions
once in a year." The Infidel attempts IN the
18th century to cripple Christianity by the
suppression of the Jesuits-''the grenadlers Oh
Christianity" as voltaire styled themIwas
only too successful. 1.-THE Jesuits were hur-
ried into exile" says Southey, with circum-
stances of great barbarity." 9. g. Dobrizhoffen
says: "Out of 80 who were despatched in on g
vessel from Buenos Ayres, only reached
Cadiz half alive" The Reductions were then
placed in charge of "rapacious and brutal ad-
ministrators; the industries declined, physl-
cal and moral evil appeared, and remnant OF
the people fed into the woods TO escape from
virtual slavery "Out of 100000" says Par Par
ish, speaking of one such district, mot lo0o
souls remained in 1885, An engineer friend,
who worked for three years laying down a
railroad in Brazil told me that in the forests
they found remains of ruined Jesuit stations
how destroyed we have Seen
But surely if Paraguay and other south
American States are not in all respects what
they might be, the Jesuits are not to blame,
nor their work to be considered failure.
