The Boston Journal speaks very plainly
about the removal by Governor Garcelon of
the Superintendent of Public Buildings. 1t
says: Governor Garcelon of Maine has
made a great many blunders in the few
months he has been in the Executive chair
OF Maine, but none Of them seems so need.
less as the removal of Gen. B. +. Harris
from the Office of Superintendent of Public
Buildings to make place for hungry ex-
Republican Greenbacker. General Harris is
crippled veteran. Maine had few men in
tie army who have deserved more. He was
crippled while his command (the Sixth
Mane) was accomplishing one of the most
brilliant episodes Of the war. In the fall Of
1868 it was deemed necessary to take two
forts at Rappahannock Station, held by the
rebels with two small brigades and battery.
General Harris's regiment was designated
to make the attempt, having but 500 men.
He formed double skirmish line, ordered his
men to "uncap" their muskets and move at
"double-qulck." The attempt was seccess-
fnl, being partial surprise. Supports come
| up in time to make the brilliant exploit a
success, and 100 prisoners was the result.
Just as the Sixth Maine passed over the
works Col. Harris's thigh was shattered by a
musket ball. For weeks he lay at the point
of death, but finally recovered to be cripple
for life. In 1867 he was appointed Superin.
tendent of Public Buildings, and has held the
position to the entire satisfaction of the pub
lie until few days since, when he was re.
moved. The only offence that could be urged
against Gen. Harris is that he votes the Re
publican ticket. 1t cannot be said that ht
is an active politician or Jealous PARTISAN
simply that he is Republican voter. AND
yet the next Democratic State Convention
of Maine will declare that the Democrat,
party will remember and cherish the gallan
veterans of the late war,

Russia's Relapse into Barbarism

The London papers seem to think that
Russia is relapsing into barbarism. The
measures she has taken for the repression of
Nihilism are denounced as more fitting to an
Asiatic despotism than to European gov
ernment. The condemnation is none too
strong, but the repressive measures are not
steps backward. Russia has never got be-
yond them. The cruel and licentious Con-
stantine practiced them in Poland and saw
agely crushed the insurrection there, and
England made no opposition. Austria prac-
ticed them in Italy under the infamous Hay
nau, but England did not think it necessary
to interfere. She was on good terms with
those nations then and cared not to cool the
friendship. She is hostile to Russia now and
sees in every act of the Russian Government
the spllit Of Oriental tyranny. The condem-
nation to-day is just, but no more needed
than was condemnation OF the terrible
oppression exercised years ago in Italy and
Poland.
But it is q fact that cruelties ventured up
on thirty years ago are not safe to venture
upon now. The doctrine Of the rights of the
people has spread widely since the revolu-
tionary attempts Of 1S4S. All European
governments are passing under the control of
the masses. The struggle which has been
prosecuted with so much success to the pop
ular party elsewhere has just begun in Rus
sia, and though the ultimate issue is not
doubtful, the contest may be long and hard.
The Russian government has resorted to the
violent measures which all governments
adopt when their existence is menaced by a
power dangerous enough to frighten them.
It is attempting to terrorize its opponents.
If it cannot subdue them it will seek TO ex-
terminate them. That is method which
might have been successful half a century
ago. 1t cannot long be>successtul in this
age. The love of liberty is too widely enter
tanned, the doctrines of the revolutionary
propagandists too generally received to long
admit of the effectiveness of political perse-
cution.
Still the Russian government has chosen
the most favorable moment for its attempt to
crush Nihilism. The country is enraged at
the plot to murder the Gar. Sincere lovers
of freedom no longer tolerate assassination %
a legitimate weapon. Regleide has ceased to
be virtue. Russia will be glad to see the
assassins punished and their nests broken
up. But if the government carries its vindic'
tive measures too far, as it probably will, a re-
action will set in. The sympathy Of theipeople
will go out for the oppressed. The government
will be forced to yield OK fall for cruel des
potism cannot at this day long maintain it
self in Europe. There are those who believe
that the outcome OF the struggle will be ar
upheaval like that Of the French revolution
an entire obliteration of the old order OF
things. But it is pleasanter and easier te
believe that the result will be mutual conces
sions and the establishment of constitutions
government.

A Sanitary Captain Eads Wanted.


The success of the jetty system at the
mouth of the Mississippi makes that
grand river possible channel for a large
part of the commerce of twenty States.
What that commerce may arsount to
when the Mississippi valley harbors a
hundred million people, as it is likely to
in the near future, it is impossible to es-
innate. 1t is enough to fOresee that it
will surpass any thing in the way of river
traffic that the world has yet known,
provided the sanitary condition of the
Lower Mississippi is such as to allow
commerce a safe and steady passage that
way
Captain Eads has shown how the Mis-
sissippi can be entirely freed from the
physical barriers which have hitherto
impeded the commercial development of
that noble waterway. But, however
perfect the channel, commerce will not
adopt route liable to annual Interrupt
ton by pestilence. Trade can not brook
diversion or delay No more will it sub
ject itself to liability or interruption.
Of greater Importance even than thirty
feet of water is freedom from sanitary
risks. Sand-bars are but negatively
harmful; pestilence is positive. The
Mississippi must be made as healthy as
the Hudson before its commercial posi-
bilitieS will begin to be developed. San
itary science must complete the work
which engineering has begun. The great
need of the Mississippi Valley, CONNER
cially as well as socially, is a sanitary

A STRANGE case Is that of young
William Blake of Monmouth County,
New Jersey. Barely % years old, the
son of a rich man, young man of pure
life, a member of the Presbyterian
Church of Allentown, recently a prom
ising and ambitious student in Princeton
College, he is starving himself to death.
In his junior year at college Il disease
manifested itself which has since been
pronounced by the doctors to be a
paralysis produced by spinal affection,
and incurable. On learning that he was
to be a cripple for life, the young man
lost heart and hope, saying that death
was preferable to such a life as lay be-
fore him. He refused to eat any thing
but toast, drinking tea without milk.
This diet he kept up for two weeks. He
then obstinately refused to swallow any
thing but water, announcing his purpose
to starve himself to death. All the en-
treaties of the family have been unavail-
ing Although reduced nearly to n
skeleton, he says that he is perfectly
comfortable, reads his Virgil, and chats
freely with those around him. 4" | mean
to die, and | WILL he says. There is a
streak of insanity in the blood, and the
fact is now recalled that one of young
Blake's grandfathers hanged himself.

Remarkable Caverns.

Among the natural curiosities of this
region bedford, Ind.,) are the caves.
The earth is full of them. There are
none right around Bedford, but within
ten miles there are not less than fifty,
some of which are very extensive. On
Indian Greek two or three caves have
been discovered and explored sufficiently
TO satisfy the owners that they extended
into the bowels of the earth several
miles. Three miles east of Mitchell are
to be found Harmer's and Mcdonald 5
caves. From the mouth of the first
named there pours stream of water of
sufficient volume to run a dozen mills,
and cold enough to chill a man through
and through if he stood within forty feet
of the entrance. This cave has been
explored for two or three miles, and
Mcdonald for nearly the same distance.
Where they end no one can tell The
streams of water that flow through the

AnImportant Geo1oricnI Fnof.

Geology has shown US that Nature accom-
piishes her greatest revolut ons in the earth's
surface conformation sl0Wly. Every year the
river makes its channel deeper, She glacier
wears deeper gorge in The Alpine rock and
the ocean tide deposits the sand it has crum-
bled from the rocks upon which it breaks.
We note the earthquake and the devastating
hurricane; but these changes are so gradual
man seldom ob.eTves them until the channel
has become Overhanging cliffs, or a mountain
has disappeared before the icY stream, or the
ocean has given US a Florida. Thus it is in
disease. Our attention is attracted by acute
diseases, as feyers, cholera, etc, while chronic
diseases (ofJen the mo. ( dangerous in result),
being slow in their development, are seldom
noticed until they have ma lie an almost inef-
faceable impression upon the system. Per-
sons believing themselves comparatively
healthful are O!ttimes the victims of these
diseases, and only become aware of their
presence whea relief Is almost impossible.
Diseases of the liver and stomach are the
cOmmonest of these chronic affections. DIR.
Pieree's Golden Ne Iicll Discovery and Pleas
and Pur2ative Pellets are never-failing rem
edies for these diseases. They produce a
healthful- secretion of the bile, prevent indi-
gestiUn by regulating the towels, and impart
a vigorous tone TO the whole sys 1em.

justly claims for it superiority over allrem-

CERTAIN, SPEEDY and cure
ofAgue and Fever, or hiIls and Fever, wheth-
sr Of short or long standing. He refers TO the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony TO the truth Of the assertion
that in no case whatever will il fail to cure if
the directions are strictly followed and carried
ont, In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by q single bottle, with per-
feet restoration Of the general health. It is,
however, prudent, andin every case more Ger
tain to cure, If its useis continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-stauding cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aidtO keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
quire csthartio medicine, after having taken
three or four doses Of the Tonic, single dose Of
