WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. Is, 70.
The amount of principle to be
found in the average Maine Demo
crat is surprisingly small. At pres
ent the papers Of the party, with one
honorable exception, are pretending
to support the candidate Of the par
ty, while doing all they can for the
election of another The people Of
Maine are too intelligent, and have
too much respect for common hon
esty, to cOuntenance a afraudI ike this.
The furry oflast year is in a great
measure over, and the rule Of reason
and common sense is returning. It
is believed that not only viii the
Legislature be Republican in both
branches, but that the Republican
candidate for Governor will be elect
ed by the people. To do this latter
will require a majority, but it is be-
ieved that majority is forthcoming
That was an amusing mistake
made by Gen. Ewing, who, when he
went to Ohio to meet defeat at the
hands Of Foster, made arrangements
to have the State flooded with print
ed speeches from this city. He left
franks" for the purpose. But BY
some mistake his subordinates filed
up the franked wrappers with sound
Republican documents, and sent them
broadcast among the men Ewing was
depending upon for votes. But Ew-.
ing was bound to be beaten, any way,
and cannot lay defeat, when it comes,
to a little mistake like this.
The revenue from customs for
1879 was greater than for 1878, and
that for 1873 greater than that for
1877. But though the receipts in
creased every year, the cost Of col
lection decreased. These are facts
which it is we'll to remember. In
the Internal Revenue branch of the
Treasury, an examination has been
made Of the returns of l21 of the
126 collectors, and, besides the great
and increasing efficiency Of admins
tration shown, it has been found
that not one Of these officials has
stolen, misappropriated or withhelda
penny. This is another fact Repub-
Heans and Democrats, as well, should
bear IN mind.
The Bankers' Convention at Sar-
atOga seems to be a great success,
over a thousand delegates, coming
from all parts Of the country, being
in atten dance, and the proceedings
are Of greater interest nan those Of
any previous year. LEO.

AFraud mai Succeeded

An ingenious fraud was recently com
mitted upon a wealthy merchant resi-
ding in Paris. He received a letter in
forming him that the writer had ascer-
tanned that a box containing treasure
was buriedlin his garden, and offering to
indicate the exact spot if he would agree
to divide the spoil The merchant was
at first inclined to treat the matter as a
hoax, but upon receiving a second and
more pressing offer he sent an answer
agreeing to the proposal The next day
he was waited upon by a gentleman of
agreeable manners, and it was arranged
that the search should be made at night,
in order to prevent the neighbOrs talk
ing. The bOx-a very weighty One-Was
duly Unearthed, and, when taken into
the house and opened, was found to con-
tain 5000 francs Isl ,600) in silver pieces
Of five francs each. The merchant,
much pleased at the result of the search,
at once handed over the half which he
had promised to his infOrmer, who re-
marked that it was rather a heavy lump
to carry to the railway station, distant
about mile, and that perhaps the mer-
chant could obligs him with notes or
gold instead. This the merchant was
very happy to do; but he regretted it
bitterly the next morning, as he saw
that the five franc pieces were all coun-
terfeit.

Almost IN sight of home, and the
strange man within q rod or two of Fan

but no mother was near, and the white
horse gained steadily on Fan. She could
hear the heavy breathing of the over
driven horse, and feel the 1ecks Of foam
that fell from her own horses mouth,
and, faint and sick, she almost. fell from
the saddle, as the pUrsuer grasped her
in his arms and screamed in her ear.

DIR. Brown sennnrd once nnre

DR.. Brown SeqUard once gave the fol-
lowing directions to a person afflicted
with a nervous cough: Coughing can be
stopped by pressing on the nerves of the
lips in the neighborhOOd Of the nose.
A pressure there may prevent q cough
when it is beginning. Sneezing may be
stopped by the same means. Pressing
also. in the neiyhborhood of the ear
may stop coughing. Pressing very hard
on the top of the mouth inside, may
have a good effect, And I may say the
will has immense power, too. There
was a French surgeon who used to say,
whenever he entered the walls of his
hospital, 'The first patient who coughs
viii be deprived of food to-day" twas
exceedingly rare that a patient cOughed

One OF the principal reasons for the sue
cess of American manufactures abroad,
says an English exchange, is the adapta-
bility of American mechanics. They are
not only competent to make anything
that is required, but they can also de-
sign tools for any conceivable purpose.
They can make machinery for any work
whatever, and they are always ready to
learn. They do not think that theirs is
the only way in which a thing can be
done, and they are ready at any time to
make any sort of tools or machines that
their customers caH for. 1t Is the YER
satility of American mechanics that
pushes their products on the foreign
marketsD

Writing about the "Western Caves
Rev. H. c. HOvey says that as the water
level is known to be three hundred and
twelve feet below the crest of the hill
covering the Mammoth cave, the subter-
ranean rivers must be a little less than
that number of feet beneath the surface,
and must also be the lowest localities
possible. Hence, he reasonably con-
sludes, no dome in that cave could eX-
coed three hundred and twelve feet in
height without cutting through to the
opeE air.

It is stated as a peculiar fact that
myopism, or nearsightedness, is exclu-
sively an attendant of civilization, never
being found among sayages, and rarely
among the peasantry Of any country.
Investigation shows that the region Of
maclila hHeu, or "yellOw spot," ," opposite
the pupil of the eye, has the greatest
peTCipient power, but is peculiarly liable
to disease, and that in myopic persons
this part of the eye may become con-
gested, resulting, perhaps, in partial or
even total blindness.

DR.. Kane, finding flower under the
Humboldt glacier, was more affected by
it because it grew beneath the lip and
cold bosom Of the ice, than he would
have been by the most gorgeous garden
bloom. So some single struggling grace
in the heart of one far removed from
divine influences may be dearer to God
than a whole catalogue Of virtues in the
life of one more favored by heaven.

of man in NIiddletown, Conn.,, who
was troubled by a disagreeable sensation
in the stump left after the amputatiOn
of his leg. The severed limb was dis,
inferred and rearranged in a more COM
Portable condition, and the unpleasant
sensation vanished. A similar case Is
reported of a man who lost his leg III
Virginia City, New. The crippled man
in this instance suffered severe pain be-
cause the buried leg was packed IN too
narrow a box, or at least that was the
feeling. His wife, unbeknOwn to him,
had the limb placed i'll more roomy
receptacle, when the sufferer at once ex-
Uerienced comfort and peace.
