Blaine and Vance.

One of the amusing incidents Of the general
wrangle in the Senate on Wednesday was Mr..
Blaine's tilt with Vance of North Carolina,
over the contents of certain Southern school
books and the quotation OF passage from one
Of them as a sample OF Vance's rhetoric. Tho
passage occurs in a book OF Southern oratoiy,
prepared by Prof. James, superintendent OF
the military institute at Austin, Texas, and
published by Barnes & Co. Of New York. The
book is intended for Southern consumption.
There is not a single extract in it from the
speech of any man outside of Dixie, and Il is
filed, for the most part with the gush of local
swashbuclSlers, as Mr.. Blaine described them
When Mr.. Vance interrupted Mr.. Blaine to
ask Il he knew OF a single school where this or
the other books were used, Mr. Blaine replied
that he did not but presumed they were not
published for fun and added: You appear in
the harmless and innocent guise of an admirer
of nature and to show how ardent an admir-
er lie is, quoted the following example of Mr..
Vance in his choicest style:
Listen to the warbling twitter OF the birds
in the swaying green-leafed trees rs the soft air
of the mountains steals like maiden's prayer
Teefst the le{ ffTes ff6fTeshed hro While your eyes gaze
sunlight as it streams rosy, rich and warm from
Aurora's fiery BOSOM"
This was too much for the gravity of the Sem
ate, and both sides broke into roar Of laugh
ter. Vance actually bfushed as he listened 90
the reading of this rhetorical swash, and took
q less active part in the fight that ensucd.

Magazine Noticas-

The July Wide Awake, which, by the way,
is a thick number" having sixteen-page
Natural History Supplement-, celebrates the
national holiday with a frontispiece full OF
battle-smoke and two capital patriotic stories
Bunker Hill Revived, by j. II. Woodbury.,
and General Washington and the Ragamuffins
by Annie L. Preston. Tho Childrcn's Hour at
the Old South, by Emma E. Brown. is also full
of patriotic "reminiscences, aad is illustrated
with thirteen fine drawings by Miss Humpl-
rey. Then there is also humorous Fourth Of
July poem, The Fire Cracker and Torpedo, by
Clara VI. Burnham, illustrated by Boz, who
also illustrates the funny double-page poem.
A bad fix. Palmer Cox has a humorous pie
ture of the advance-guard of summer insects,
entitled Conlingl He also has some excellent
crayons for his own poem of The Hens Adven-
ture. Clara Doty Bates also has an illustrated
poem, Choosing .Kitten. Prying Lizzie, by
ID. G. Mcdonald, is a capital story for inquisi
tive little girls. Archery for Boys is also very
seasonable. The two articles of permanent
value, however, are No. VII. of Our American
Artists series, relative to j. j. EnneSiug, with
a portrait and studio, drawn in pen-and-inll by
the artist himself, and beautiful engraving
from Mr.. Enneking's charcoal drawing of his
painting, Winter Twilight at Hyde Park and
No. XXIV of the Poets Homes papers, about
j. Boyle O'Reilly, the Irish poet and editor of
the Pilot. Ills history is most romantic and
his portrait is very pleasing. Altogether, this
number of Wide Awake, taking in the three
serials, The Dogberry Bunch, St, Olaye's, and
Don Quixote, Jr., is one of the best yet issued.

for the purpose of nominating candidte for Gov
ernor, and for transacting whatever business may
properly come before it.
The basis Of representation VIII be one delegate
for each city, town and plantation and an addition
al delegate for every seventyfye votes cast for the
Republican candidate for Governor in 1876 A
majority fraction will be entitled to a delegate
The State Committee will be in session the eyening
preceding and at O'Clock the morning of tho Con
vention, to receive the credentials of delegates
In selecting the Delegates the Republicans are
urged to assemble in full numbers and to invoke the
aid and cooperation Of all voters who are willing to
unite with them to the following ends:
l. 10 maintain the power presiisss oe the'
Union against all attempts to subvers or oppose its
just authority and 70 insist that the Government of
the United States shall be controlled by loyal men,
2 To discountenance and reprobatc the treason
able and revolutionary course Of the Democrats in
Congress, who threaten to cripple and destroy the
functions Of the Government if constitutonally pre-
vented from enacting their partisan measures into
law.
g. To uphold the right of the United States to
enforce its own laws wherever they are to operate
and to frown down and put down the dangerous
heresy of the States Right secessionists who have
already plunged the country into one bloody war
and who are now attempting TO control the Govern
ment of the Union with the same measures that
preceded the rebellion of 1861.
f. To insist upon free electons-not only free
from National military inference, which no one de-
sires, but also free from the interference and yo
lence of socaled State militia and the assassns who
with deadly weapons have seized the polls in many
of the Southern States, driving innocent and de-
fenceless voters from the ballot-box and making a
mockery of elections, which upon free suffrage
has been made a distinct political issue by every
Democrat in the Senate and House voting against a
measure designed to prevent and suppress it.
8. To uphold the financial credit Of the Govern
ment and to assure to the people of all sections
sound currency, equivalent TO coin at all times and
in all places and redeema5le in coin. And to this
end to oppose all distracting regulating aud mis-
ehieyous efforts against the peace welfare and in
dustrial prosperity OF The People.
6. Ii these aims and purposes all citizens Of
Maine are invited to unite, that the hands Of the
President and of the Republican minority in both
branches of Congress may be strengthened in their
efforts to uphold the honor of the Government and
the just authority of National Law
By order of the Republican State Committee.

bya book kept with trader where / bought
my groceries, that paid $16.50 per bbl. for
flour, $1.25 per gallon for molasses, IS cts.

Well, now get S1.12 10 cts. per day for the
