The Maine Democrats succeeded in giving til,
Blaine boom fresh start.

"IteIl you that Tilden means to be a candidate" !"
said Mr.. Scott Lord the other day to the Washing
ton correspondent of The Boston Globe HIS prefer
ences are known to be for General Buell., but he is
too slrewd an observer aud too good a lawyer not
to know that his candidate has no chance against
man with so valid mortgage as the Claimant. Mr.
Lord bases his knowledge of Mr.. Tilden's inten-
tions on the confident statements of men known to
hold the most intimate relations with the Sage of
Gramercy Park. He believes that neil her Bayard
nor Hancock are available. Should the Republic
cans nominate Grant, it would be close question
as to whether he or Iilden would carry New-York
but the chances would be IN favor of Tiden.
IL Mr.. TIlden were gifted with as sef-sacrifcipQ
a spirit as Jonah, he would relieve his party of a
bad load.
The failure of the National Republican Commit
Tee to name Cincinnati as the place Of meeting of
the next convention is received IN philosophical
light by the papers of that city. "To Cincinnati it
is a small matter" but cit may be a great concern
to n new and ephemeral town." remarks the satir-
cal Gazette. The Commercial says its only objection
TO Chicago is that il Is given to booms. 1t shows
however, the worthlessness OF local booms by citing
the want of success OF tue Cincinnati boom for
Bristow in 1876 1t says: "The Brstow banners
were on the outer wall, and the galleries were agi-
tated by thousands of Bristow fans.D The absolute
failure of that effort will doubtless discourage SIM
liar attempts in the future. In any event. the del
egates 10 the Chicago Convention are likely to meet
and transact their business uninfluenced by the
local preference of the city where they assemble.
By actual experiment the Democrats have discov-
cred that they keep Ben Hilps mouth closed for
three legislative weeks This must DO a valuable
" "fiudn for them. And now If they can arrange
their vacations to occur at about that distance
of time the party can feel comparatively safe on
ono point

New-York tribune., 1879-12-22

The wonderful electric lamp which Mr..
Edison was SAID so long ago TO have in
vented and for a sight of which the world
has been impatiently waiting, seems to be
a failure. At least, according to The Herald,
Mr. Edison has himself abandoned the spirals OF
platinum and iridium which were Its main feature,
and the ingenious mechanism by which they were
kept in state OF incandescence without
FUSION and has turned tor solution OF
the problem TO incandescent carbon. The
result - the perfected lamp - appears TO be
merely a modification of the Sawyer-Man light,
which, as everybody knows consists OF fine mean
descent pencil of carbon in globe of nitrogen gas
Mr. Edison bends his carbon pencil, or iilament
into the form of a horseshoe. and exhausts the
globe surrounding ii. That IL substantially
the only difference between the two systems. Both
depend upon "A fine thread or cylinder of incandes-
cent carbon. Both protect the carbon from the
action of oxygen, the one by filling up the
globe with nitrogen, the other by drawing out
the oxygen with an air pump There is no
new principle involved. therefore, in Mr.
Edison's light, and the notifications he has
made in the SawyerMan light are but
a poor return for fifteen months labor
The new Sawyer AIan-Edison lamp, how
ever, will probably provo use
full addition to other forms of electric
lighting although it is not likely to be regarded as
a complete and satisfactory solution of the great
problem which has so long been absorbing the at
tention of electricians.

That is n noticeable compliment which Harpers'

has just received abroad. We do not refer
TO the praise of the foreign critics, generous
as our readers have that TO he /;
but TO the action of the Universities IN accepting
this piece of New-York classical scholarship
as their standaod. The book is now printed
by the Clarendon Press at Oxford, and is the recog
nized Latin authority for Oxford and Cambridge.
New-York tribune., 1879-12-22

Secretary Sherman is much misrepresented
by those who find in the late action OF the Ma
tional Committee and in bis presencea at Pbiladel-
phia proofs of o disposition on his part
to retire from the Presidential contest
in favor OF General Grant. There Is
the best reason for saying that the
Secretary has never changed the views con-
cerning the third term which he expressed
with such emphasis four years ago. lie has
had no conversation whatever with General
Grant on the subject, and was not even III Phll-
adolphia at the time of some of the alleged
interviews. He favored Don Cameron as a
wel-qualified and most capable man for the
Chairmanship OF the National Committee
when there seemed to be no other promi-
uent candidate, and when he supposed
that selection likely to be acqu'csced
in 10y ALL Seven of the Cameron
votes were given by Sherman men,
So that the Grant element in the Committee
was decidedly in the minority. Whatever the
result Of the campaign now opening, 1t
is evident that they make great mistake who
fancy that John Sherman can be left out OF
the calculations.

The resignation of the French Ministry yes
terday will occasion little surprise. as 1t las been

hcans and too liberal for the
Royalis:s. 1t is possible that NJ. de Frey
clnet, who is forming new Cabinet, mly
be more successful in securing the support
Of his party. Ii is, however, generally con-
ceded that unless NJ. Gambet6a assumes the Pre-
mirrsbip no stable Ministry can be formed. The
crisis calls for moderation and goodwill
on the part OF each of the four
groups which form the Republican party. III
prudence is not observed, NJ. Gambetta HIM

disasters to the Republican cause.
New-York tribune., 1879-12-22

The official vote OF this State. given 10y
counties in the table printed on another page,
will repay attention as an accurate account of
the November election. Among the minor
flcts worth noting is the survival OF the
Greenback party in somewhat larger proper
tons than were looked for. Their candidate
for Lieutenant Governor received $4,000
votes. as against $4,000 cast by the party in
1878. The Prohibition vote curiously enough
shows considerable gain. in percentage, upon
that given at the last election for Governor.
Ex-Secretary McCulOch follows his former
letter upon the Silver question with one in-
closing and commenting upon letter from
Congressman Buckner. This is a reply to Mr.
McCullochs former communication. Judge
Buckner explains his reasons for seeking to
require the National banks to hold gold and
silver as "a part of their reserves, rs a preiim-
mary TO the retirement of the smaller bank
notes. Ex-Secretary MeCulloch takes pains to
say that he does not think, with the Chairman
OF the House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency, that the people must be " educated " up
to the substitution of coin for the small notes,
but JOINS with him III deprecating an increase
of the circulation OF bank-notes.
A Boston letter describes curious feature

BE SOMETHING.

1t is the duty of every one to
take some active part as an
actor on the stage Of life. Some
seem to think they can vegetate,
as it were, without being any
thing in particular. Man was
not made to rust out his life.
1t is expected he should "act
we'll his part" He must be
something. He has a work to
perform which it is his duty to
attend to. We are not placed
here to grow up, pass through
the various stages Of life, and
then die without having done
anything for the benefit Of the
human race. Is a man to be
brought up in idlenesS? Is he
to live upon the wealth which
his ancestors have acquired by
frugal industry? Is he placed
here to pass through life an au-
tomaCon? Has he nothing to
perform as a citizen Of the
world} A man who does nothing
is useless to his country as an
inhabitant. A man who does
nothing is a mere cipher. He
does not fill the obligations for
which he was sent into the
world, and when he dies, he has
not finished the work that was
given for him to do. Some are
born with riches and honors up
on their heads; but does it fol-
low that they have nothing to
do in their career through life?
There are certain duties for ev-
cry one to perform, Be some

tive Of the state, which was
written by an Ozark correspond
ent of the Rural World, we copy
for the benefit Of those Of our
readers in other states who may
contemplate immigrating to Ar
kansas. The statements made
are truthful, and may be relied
upon:
The state Of Arkansas en-
braces an area Of about 52,19S
square miles, of %, 400, ,723 acres
Of territory, and lies between
latitude 80 and $500 north, and
longitude 13 and 1880 west from
Washington, or 80 and 65.34
west from Greenwich.
1t is one of the northern tier
Of states in the great cotton belt
Of the United States, and the
yield of the heeCy staple per
acre will average as much as
any state in the union, Texas
alone excepted. Wheat, corn,
rye, oats, the grasses, potatoes
and tobacco grow to a great
degree of perfection, and are a
profitable crop. Fruit can be
grown in abundance. The peach
and small fruits are now reCeiv
ing considerable attention, and
are yielding a rich remunera-
ton to those who have turned
their attention in this direction.
There are rs counties in the
state, and some 80-odd news
papers. There 604 postOfflCes in
the state. The state has public
school houses in every county,
the valuation amounting to up
ward Of $2O0,O00. The public
school taxes in 1877 amounted
to $226,OOO. There are 876 teach
ers employed in the public free
schools. The school population
Of the state, between the ages
of 6 and q, is 1854 white and
43,416 colored.
The population, according to
the census Of 1870, was 484,284.
The vote for governor in 1878,
was S8,733. 1t is believed the
population in 1880 will be 9O0,-
900. Politically, the state is
Democratic. Herlegislature con-
sists Of 30 senators and % rep
resentatiyes. One Of the sena-
tors and four of the represent
atives in the Legislature are
Republican. We are represent
ed in the congress Of the United
States by two senator's and four
representatives, all Democratic.
About three million acres Of
state lands are subject to dOna-
tinn or nurchaSe. Any adult
citizen Of the United States, male
Or female, may obtain a dona-
ton, not to exceed 100 acres to
each applicant, by making ap-
plication to the commissioner Of
state lands, and paying o fee Of
IS. The conditions on which
these lands are donated are that
the donee shall, within eighteen
months from the date Of the
application, prepare five acres
for cultivation, and reside upon
the land; or, instead Of residing
thereon, shall have ten acres
preparation cultivation within
the eighteen months specified.
These lands are also subject
10 absolute sale, at fifty cents
per acre, payable in state and
county scrip, which scrip can
often be purchased at a cost of
seventy-fve cents on the dollar.

There are over 1,OO0, 0,OOO-say
