The Portland Transcript says: 1.-The
extent of the emigration movement now
going on towards the Aroostook is shown
by the fact that one line Of road has al
ready sold to actual settlers four times the
number of tickets sold in any previous
year. Those who have gone are practical
working farmers who mean to build up
and develop the country. The continued
call for Mr.. Elwell's Aroostook pamphlet,

ton Of the new interest taken in this fer
tile and promising region"

The Michigan Victory.

Fell reports of the late election in Mich
igan confirm the news of a great republic
can victory. Returns from nearly all the
State show that Judge Campbell is elected
byabout 6000 majority The republican can
didates for Regents fall about 1900 votes
behind the majority for Judge Campbell
These totals, says the Detroit Post, fix the
dimensions of the sterling republican vie
tory which has just been won in this State
in the face of formidable odds. There is a
net republican gain in 60 counties of 81,
672, and a net democratic gain in six
counties of 252, making the net republic
can gain in the State 1920. The Lansing
Republican has made footings as to the re-
suit by Congressional districts. showing
that in a national contest. and with Fall
campaign. the First is the only really
doubtful district in the State. In 60 coun-
ties of the State-all from which full re-
ports have been obtained of the political
status of the Supervisors electric repub-
licans have chosen 5Ss supervisors against
463 last year. This gain of %. involving
a change of $50 in relative strength. has
placed 30 county boards under republican
control, to Is under opposition; being
tied. Last year, of the same counties,
only so had republican boards. the oppo-
stion controlling %, and being evenly
divided. In the city governments, the re-
publicans have also made remarkable
gains. Last year in 81 cities reported,
there were only republican mayors elect
ed; this year, in 40 cities reported. the
republicans have elected "A mayors.
These results have been attained in the
face of &c, 500 adverse majority, in Spring
election, when any formal campaign
was an impossibility, and without "ral-
lies" or documents. 1t is no exagger-
alton to say that the republican party of
Michigan has faced and repulsed the most
dangerous assault ever made upon its de-
fences, and never has won a more impor-
tant victory than this. The election of
1879 has thus demonstrated the vigor and
nvincibility of Michigan republicansm.
1t never approached a great national cam
paign in better fighting condition or with
fairer prospects.

The Friends.

A New York paper says: The Quakers,
or Friends, are said to have been dimin-
ishing slowly though steadily during thu
last twenty years, in consequence OF the
secularization of many of the younger
people born in the society. Their faith
and life are simple, and their ways so
gentle and honest, rs to be in sharp
contrast to much of the complicated and
artificial wants and manners of the latter
half of the nineteenth century. Many
members of the society in Philadelphia,
where they are far more numerous than
in any other city in the Union, are anX--
ious to correct the decreasing tendency of
the body, and are zealously engaged in Il
movement for the formation of settle
ments in the West. The Friends have
been SO scattered and isolated in that
section rs to gradually lose interest in
their habits and principles. The inten-
ton is to organize an association which
shall purchase tracts of land, and sell
farms and lots on easy terms, either 10
Friends or those in sympathy with
them, and to aid such persons us have
limited means with money to erect
dwellings and develop their scanty re-
sources. The association proposes 10
lay out roads, put up school and meet
ing-houscs, and push forward al need
fu1 and worthy enterprises. The West
can have no better or more usrful or more
desirable citizens, for the name OF
Quaker has become everywhere syn
onym ofpurity, order thrift, and bcncvo-
lcnce. The whole number of Friends is
estimated at present ut 10000, of whom
9O, 900 belong to the United States.

interesting to know that toads live al
most wholly upon slugs, caterpillars,
beetles and other insects, making their
rounds at night when the farmer is
asleep-and the birds tco-and the in
sects are supposed to be having it all
their own way. English gardeners u9-
derstand these facts so well that toads
turned loose, and the best Of it is the
toads generally stay at home, so the gar
dener is not troubled with buying his
own toads over again every few days.

be made very useful about the house,
and will do not a little good in destroy
ing cockroaches, flies, and other house
hold pests. They are sometimes known
to eat worms, which they grasp by the
middle with their jaws, cramming in the
writhing ends of the unfortunate articu-

are seized and conveyed to the mouth by
means of the rapidly darting tongue,
which always secures the victim as it is

The Lawn.
Tile man who puts on frequent lit
tie sprinkling of salt or bone dust or
superphosphate, or any fertilizer that
will add an additional rich green tint to
the turf, is always recompensed by Sc
curing the most conspicuous grass plat
in the neighborhood. The best lawn we
ever saw, says an agricultural writer,
was occasionally treated to a sprinkling
of diluted blood from slaughter-house,
just previous to shower. When the
soil Is soft, run the roller over; it helps
the appearance greatly. The applica-
ton of a little ground gypsum will also
freshen up the grass. But above all,
never neglect to run the moving
machine over frequently. Once week
! none too often during wet season.

Mr.. G. F. Necdham, of Washington,
thinks that the people of the Northern
States make a great mistake in not rails
ing figs. lie says that the fruit is, grown
successfully in England, where the fog
gy atmosphere is not nearly SO iayora-
BE to it as our sunny land. Northern
climes are even better than southern,
because too great heat is inimical to the
plant. and our days are more evenly
tempered than those of the South. In
Ohio it has been found that the fig tree
is quickly grown, is easily protected,
is q sure bearer and is very prolific.
The trees begin to bear when two years
old, and when they have attained an
age of four or five years produce from
the same area, with less labor, greater
and more certain crop than either potaa-
toes or tomatoes. Mr.. Needham adds
that what is true of Ohio is true Of the
whole North.

are extracts from the report of the special
committee on Oklahoma: Lying along our
entire western border is a country of great
beauty and fertility. It ought TO be the
home CT thousands OF happy families, the
site OF growing and busy cities, aud the the
alter of intellectual and material progress.
Instead, it stands as barrier to progress
and a monument of governmental folly.
Fugltives and lawless men have crossed the
borders to the injury of the Indians aud re-
proach of the Whites. Where they

Of the whites the relation has been
pleasant and profitable. This is
strlkingly illustrated by the &C ion of Secre-
tary Sohurz in August, 1877, has ID upon the
law and treaties allowing the people OF Okla
homa to employ white ski led labor. The
consequence is, vast tracts have been brought
under cultivation, scnool houses aud churches
built, aud new era OF progress Inaugurated.
We believe that the organization OF the Ter
ritory of Oklahoma by congress is a necessity
growing out of progressive civilization, and
az act of mercy, OWING to the exposed and
unprotected condition of the Indian. We
therefore recommend that the members of
