AN INVESTIGATION AT COBB's ISLAND "A short
time ago the life-saving station on Cobb's
Island was burned. 1t is thought that the fire
was the work of inceDdiary wreckers from
the Eastern Shore. Attendant circumstances
aid the near approach of the autumn storms
point to this conclusion. The matter has been
brought to the attention of the Navy depart
ment, and collector Thomas, Of Baltimore, under
instructions from the Secretary of the Navy,
has gone down to the island In the revenue cut
ter Ewing, to Investigate and report.

THE poor RLs"-The poorest girla in
the world are those who have never been
taught to work. There are thousands of them.
Rich parents have petted them. They have
been taught to despise labor and depend upoa
others for living, and perfectly helpless.
If misfortune comes upou their fiiends, rs it
often does their case is hopeless. The most
forlorn and miserable wonsa upon eait1 he

protect their daughters from this deplo7ab's
condition. They do them ;:rest wrong II

wheel of fortune rolls swiftly ronnd-tle rich

Boston Herald: ''It is the opinion OF

Boston Herald: ''It is the opinion of
some good Republicans that if the Govern
or and Council of Maine would throw out
all returns not made according TO law,
acting impartially as between the parties, it
would be an excellent thing for the State.
The law prescribes what and how the re-
turns shall be made; but, for many years,
the administration has been very loose and
the law neglected. We understand that in
Portland and thirteen towns of Cumberland
County, the returns are faulty. If all were
fairly thrown out the result would not be
materially changed. 1t is charged that the
Governor and Council are allowing Demo-
cratic errors to be corrected, while refusing
the same privilege to the Republicans. OF
course they have no right to do anything OF
the sort, nor have they any precedent for
refusing to show the returns to interested
parties. In short, they have placed them
selves in the attitude of officials stretching
their power to change the result of an cleo
ton by technicalities, and, as the appeal is
to the people who would be defrauded by
such action, it is very unwise for the party
in whose interest the wrong will be per-
petrated, if at all.''

Beaconsheld.
At the Lord Mayors Banquet.

INF. smalloy's London Letter to New York
Tribune.1
During dinner Beaconstield sat for the most
part silent. During his speech he had re-
course at intervals to the glass of claret, or 1t
NAV have been port, which was in front OF
him, which was full when he began and empty
when he finished. His voice was strong enough
to reach through the hall, with the help OF a
singularly elaborate and patient articulation oil
each syllable that he uttered. But 1t was hol-
low; it seemed to be fetched by a succession of
calculated efforts from somewhere in his throat
and was husbanded as if he had only limited
supply, which might run out if not used with
economy. He has very much the trick OF
mouehing his words which Mr.. Irving has IN
his least happy moments. 1t is as if the
muscles of the tongue were weak, and did not
invariably respond to tho will OF the speaker;
as if at times it required two distinct exertions,
or even more, to bring that useful member in
contact with the palate. II you had heard
him for the first time you would not have said
this man is a great orator, But you could not
listen to sentence without perceving that he
had consummate knowledge of the art of
SpcdhllS plullO, tbAo SShA'"4tsNS
ness in making the most of his knowledge.
When he came to refer to the murder of the
English Envoy at Cabul, his tones grew so
solemn, his attitude SO impressive, there was
in his manner such excellent mimicry of pa
thos. that one who did not know what philoso-
phy he can bring to the endurance OF woes not
his own, would surely have believed that he
was beholding the symbols of genuine sor-
row. But what is genuine in the man is his
intellect and courage; together with his con-
tempt for men whose intellect is kept in sub
lection to settled convictions, and whose cour-
ace is not sufficient to overrule conscience, or
to disregard such facts as happen to be incon-
sistent with an effective statement.
Later IN the evening Lord Beaconsfield paid
Sir Stafford Northcote the compliment of sup
posing that his speech on finance was occupy
ing the attention of the audience. He leaned
back in his chair, his mask slipped off for
moment, the light from the great chandelier
above streamed full on his face, and you saw
what he was like when not posing for the gal
ery The cheek grew hollow, the tint of his
skin waX-like, the lips relaxed, the cavernous
Jaws fell slightly apart, the carefully trained
curls on the left of the brow slid out OF place,
the fire sank low in his eyes, the whole lace
aged painfully in minute. Ii ever q human
countenance looked weary and bored ana Scorh-
full, Lord Beaconsfeld's was that countenance
at that moment. PeIhaps he telt that MS
speech had fallen flat in spite OF the cheers;
perhaps he did not care whether it had or not,
but was simply tired and sleepy

Four Journalists Wives.


Four distinguished editors of the great New
York daily newspapers have enjoyed world
wide celebrity Three, James Gordon Ben
nett of the Herald Horace Greeley, OF the
Tribune, and Henry j. Raymond, OF the
Times, became founders of the journals that
are to-day monuments of their industry and
intellectual ability. OF the fourth, Charles a.
Dana, it may be said that he was the founder
of the Sun for the Sun as a journal OF pith
and power, as it is to-day, must certainly be
regarded as his creation. 1t would be inter-
esting to know how much of the inspiration OF
active life they gather from their wives, who
were. or are. women of more than average in
tellieence and culture. Whoever sees the
present James Gordon Bennett, that remem-
ber his mother must perceive the great like
ness existing between the two. a tall finely
formed woman of commanding presence, with
the same hue of complexion and hair and re-
markable eyes that are distinguishing fea-
ture in her son. "Watch eyes" they are called,
because of pereeptible white ring surround
ing the pupil. Long ago some of the brightest
letters that appeared in the columns OF the
New York Herald over the signature OF b. Z.

TANfMANY has put out a two column de-
nunciation of Tilden, but the gist of it is in
the following paragraph, which, considering
it's source, displays remarkable knowledge
of history:
''By a recourse to q system of bribery and
corruption, happily without other example IN
our history and destructive to the national
morality Mr.. Tilden had impaired the pres,
tige of the Democratic party which was robbed
of the Presidential Office through his own I'M
beetle cowardice and the cooperative frauds
of the Republican party. To support sucn "a
man again would render those supporting MN
accessories after the fact to crime SO mean
that it concealed itself in ciphers, and so enor-
nous that the corruption of Verres, the venal-
ity of Robert Walpole, and the vulgar rascallty
of the ring depredators in New York, pale
into insignifcance in comparison with 1t. Al
of these historical delinquents openly tradea
on the immortality of their. fellow mon.
Mr.. Tilden burst on the world as a pre-or-
dained reformer, and hired others to cheat 1or
him, while he himself masqueraded asan apoS-
tie of purity.

THE arguments made before the Council
Tuesday by Messrs. Larrabee, Peabody and
Coombs, for the validity of the Portland re-
turns were able and interesting. strong
er presentation of the case could not be
made. Mr.. Swasey's argument, on the other
hand, seems to have been little more than
partisan harangue. His references to the
Louisiana election of 1876 must have fallen
unpleasantly on the ears of the five Coun-
cillors who sustained the Republican party
in that contest.

THE Argus is concerning itself with the
case of the County Commissioner of Essex,
in Massachusetts,, and says Massachusetts
people say it is all right. Why not tell the
truth? Republican papers in Massachusetts,
have demonstrated against the counting-in
of the Republican candidate, and he himself
has declined to accept the office under the
circumstances. Has any Democratic paper
in Maine demonstrated against the counting
out in this State? Has any Democratic can
didate, who may profit by the theft, declared
that he will not avail himself of the official
position so obtained? The Argus has de-
Tended the Council from the first, and de-
feated Democratic candidates in this County
have hired attorneys to plead their case at
Augusta. The Argus will do well to visit
its censure upon wrong-doers in this State.
When they are febuked it can with propriety
turn it's attention to Massachusetts,. 1t is
we'll, too, to remember that in Massachu-
setts the canvassers had to declare no law
unconstitutional in order to elect candi-

To the Editor ofthe CouraRt:
SIR: If you will allow me a brief word, L
can furnish some information which, for ex-
cellent reasons not two Americans in twelve
hundred are acquainted with. 1t is this; The
issuing of the wild postal edict of last Septem-
ber raised such q tempest of protestations in
eveay quarter of the country, that the depart
ment after enduring the siege for few days,
uccumbed-partially 1t did not retire from
the fortress openly, however. That is to say,
it surrendered part of its armament, but nobody
knew about it, for the reason that the fact was
not made public. The fact was printed IN the
Postal Guide-that is to say, it was secreted
there. If it had got into the newspapers we
should have heard of it, and our complaints
would have assumed a diminished form. Here
is the modification:
"56. When postmasters and employees of the rail-
way mail service kRo,c that matter deposited in their
offices for mailing addressed to city without the
of the State being given, is intended for the
principal city of that name, being for instance adj
dressed to a wel-known citizen, firm, newspaper or
institution of such principal city, or to street and
number which could only be found therein il should
be forwarded as directed in section 467. Otherwise
the provisions of sections 437, 43S and 74O, p. l..
& r.. 1879 are to be observed"
If that had accompanied the original edict,
there would not have been such storm.
