Muroh's Qualifications.

1t has never been pretended that Mr..
Murch, who defeated Mr. Hale for Con
gress in Maine, was elected to the House
on any other ground than that Of bis le-
ing cutter Of stone. His supporters ex-
pressly disowned his having any other re-
commentator. They Indignantly denied
that he had either education, experience,
or other recommendation for tie place.
They thought that it would be novelty
to send man to Congress on the single
principle of stone cutting It would a.
tonish the old togiea, ana make them wish
that they had trades. True, Mr. Murch
ran on the greenback ticket But that
proved nothing. Anybody can run on a
greenback ticket No convictions are re-
qQired, and the less man knows about
anything, the more likely he is to be a
greenbacker. 50, it could not be pretend
ed that Mr. Murch should devote him
self to the support Of imitation schemes in
Congress. n y. Times.

the following inscription WAS discovered 'rctrs

York Herald.
Our New York contemporary should
brush up his classics. The above in
scription, which should read, Tears
cannot restore thee, etc, originated with
one Of the Greek philosophers who had
it inscribed upon the tomb Of his son.
and it has often been quoted as proof
that the ancient Greeks believed in a fu-
ture life. We know of its modern use in
one instance, late resident of Machias
having placed it on the headStOne at the
grave of his second wife The words are
susceptible of a double meaning but
while we cannot answer for the ancient
Greek, its later use was undoubtedly in
spired by love and true religion.

that the fish were mdckcrel, playing in

except Two narrow passages leading to

mackerel were passing as rapidly as pos

the fish were driven into narrower space.
Then the pitchtork slaughter commenced,
and it did not cease until two and Il half
barrels were taken. Had the party pos
sesSed a net they might have caught an
indefinite amount of fish, for the water
was literally packed with them. As it
was the men did not leave the water until
it was nearly up to their chests. Our in

much like distant thunder, and the mack

Some thrusts secured four mackerel,
some only one and at times thrust after
