The Maine Results.

Nashville Banner: AS might have
been expected, the chalice that was
held so remourselessly to the lips
Of the Democrats in Louisiana in
1876 is now commended 10 the Re
publicans of Maine. The Canvass
ing Board of that State, the Return
ing Board, has at last made their
report. giving a majority of "Fu-
sionists' against the Republicans
0t thirteen on Joint ballot, or TWEEN
" to tleven in the Senate, and sew
enty seven to seventy three in the
House. We have yet only seen the
results without the reasons of the
change from the first announce
ment. When the Republicans 50
recklessly tampered with the re
turns in Louisiana and Florida,
they little expected the medicine
would have to be taken ty them
selves. The precedent was a dan
gerous one to our free institutions,
and although it may be piece OF
Ietributive justice We do not ap-
prove of the principle, and hope
the Maine "canvassers" will be able
to make a good and sufficient show
OF their reasons. We hope they
have not warped the justice OF the
elections SO as to make . wrong

Killed by a Nj eteOr.

AS David Meiserthaler, the we'll
known stock man of WhItestone
township was driving his COWS to
the barn about daylight this morn
ing, he was struck by an erolite
and instantly killed. 1t appears as
If the meteor had come from q di-
rection a little west of south, and
fell obliquely at an angle Of about
sixty degrees, for it first passed
through a tall maple, cutting the
limbs as clean as if it had been a
cannon ball, and then struck him
on or under the shoul-
der, passing clean through him OBJ
liquely from below the right shoul-
der to above the left hip, and
buried itself about two feet in the
soft black ground. The poor mans
head and legs are injured, but the
greater parts of his body seems TO
have been crushed into the earth
beneath the terrific eiolite, which
is about the size of a common pat
ent bucket, and apparently OF a
round shape. 1t appears
to be formed Of what Is called iron
pyrites.-[ Rural World.

A Strange cure.

"Can you cure my eyes2" said a
man To DR.. Brown.
Yes" said the doctor, "if you
will follow my prescription"
"Oh, certainly, Doctor" said the
patient; 81 will do anything TO have
my eyes cured. What is your rem
edy, Doctor?"
"You must steal a horse said
the doctor very soberly.
"Steal a horsep said the patient
in amazement. "How will that cure
my eyes27
"You would be sent 20 the State
prison for five years, where you
could not get whisky, and during
your Incarceration your eyes woulo
get WE'LL" said the doctor.
The patient looked somewhat in
credulous, bot he did not adopt the
DOCTORS remedy.

The following is an extract from
speech of Senator Lamar, of Mis-
sissippi, made a short time ago:
With reference to his course on
Electoral Commission Bill-the
Southern man who supported that
measure could not be reproached by
any fair-minded man. The most
marked feature of that great strug-
gle was it's sectional character.
Upon the issue presented the States
were ranged in almost the same or
der as that of war, which was itself
scarcely a greater crisis in the af
fairs OF The country. A solid South
was confronted by almost a solid
North. Those who think the Re-
publicans were not determined on
maintaining their position know
little of the temper of the leaders of
the party-backed as they were by
the administration, with the army
and the navy, and by an over
wheiming Northern public senti
ment. One of them, Mr. Morton,
opposed the Electoral Commission,
because he said without it the Re
publicans already had the game In
their own hands, and with it they
might loose it. 1t was a Democrat
ic measure and was supported by
such men as Thurman, and Bayard
who had been faithful to the South
in all conjunctures. The South had
no voice in originating it and for
her to have opposed 1t would have
been to place herself in position
of great danger. Such was the sit
uation that if an issue of force had
been precipitsted it would have
been charged to the South of which
it would have been said ''she marks
her return to power with a return
to arms and blood" and the North
would have swept down upon her
with a fury and thirst for revenge
the horror of which no Imagination
can paint. They may talk of au-
dacity and courage and of a resort
to arms who know nothing of civil
war. He should ever thank God
that in that time he gave him an
other sort of courage to put aside
all thought of self, all vain glorious
ness, and to think only of the gray
haired fathers and the helpless
women and children of this once
desolated land upon whom the fury
of another internecine strife must
sweep DOWN like an all-consum ing
fire.

In a Thousand Years from Now.
We never can contented be

We never can contented be
With our own lot in life;
We've always trouble in our mind,
Some newborn care or strife;
Why not travel through the world
With sunshine on your browl
For you'll never know the difference
In thousand years from now.
'IWon't do to be too proud, these days,
Because you have your wealth
ou may some time the wrong man meet,
And thereby lose your health.
Don't scoTn to earn, your living
BY the hoe, the spade or plow,
For you'll never know the difference
In Thousand years from now.
Becs use your parents are well off,
Don 7 scorn to learn trade;
Remember, when the sun is warm,
You can't always find the shade;
Don't scorn to do little work
Though sweat adorns your brow
For you'll never know the difference
In thousand years from now.

Michigan has a dog tax, which
pays into the school fund $685.
o70.35 annually. 1t will be some
time before dog tax will be enact
ed in Tennessee. 1t would be
worth a mans political life to hint
at such a law. But really sheep
should have some protection, and
we know of none better than the
one recommended by the East Ten
nessee Agricultural Association last
year which was to make the owners
of dogs responsible to owners of
sheep for all damages done, and it
further gives the dog a fair trial for
his life if caught in delictu, the own
er failing or refusing to pay the
damage costing the dog his life.
The havoc of dogs among sheep
has been fearful the past year,
amounting up to many thousands
of dollars Banner.

DR.. Collyer, chemist of the agri-
cultural department, in his recent
report, says that ''if they will give
me ten acres of ground to expert
ment on next season, l will return
twenty tons of raw sorghum fully
equal to the best raw cane sugar or
forfeit my reputation" Two tons
per acre is a better result than they
reach on the average in Louisiana
with the sugar cane. AS the meth
cd of capitalization is now pretty
we'll understood, the whole secret,
he declares, lies in the time to gath
er the crop. DR.. Collyer thinks
the cost should not exceed three
cents per pound; that we can Ger
tainly raise sugar in this country
much cheaper than we can buy it
