Crossing the Dead-Line.

Intimations are freely made that the Coy
ernor and Council are minded to count out
SOME of the Republican Senators-eleet and
either give seats TO the defeated candidates
or refuse certificates to enough Republicans
to throw the control of the Senate into the
hands of the fusionists That this shame
less project is entertained by some of the
fusion leaders cannot be doubted. From
men of their stamp anything-but good
may be expected. But the assertion that
the Governor and his Council have entered
into this conspiracy of desperate, reckless
and unscrupulous politicians to defeat the
will Of the people is yel to be proved. Per-
haps not much is to be hoped from their
sense OF justice. But it is to be presumed
until the contrary is established that self
esteem, prudence and regard for statute law
and public opinion will save them from the
perle ration of paipably unjust or illegal
acts. They are confronted by those pro-
visions of the constitution of this State
which provide that ''The Governor and
Council shall as soon as may be examine the
returned copies of the lists [of votes for Sen
ators returned to the Secretary's Office, and
twenty days before the first Wednesday OF
January issue a summons to such persons
as shall appear to be elected by a plurality
of the votes Of each district, to attend that
day and take their Seats" and that each
House shall be judge of the elections and
qualifications of its own members" They
may trespass upon these limits; but if they
do they will, to borrow the expressive Ian
guage of their Southern allies used at An
dersonville and Belle-Isle, step across the
dead-line

Recent Publications.

Messrs. G. F. Putnam of New York port
land: Loring, Short & HARMONY publish in
their New Plutarch Series, the Life of Abra-
ham Lincoln written by Mr.. Charles &. Le-
land. No figure in modern history stands with
more majestic poise than that of the Martyr
President. He rises out Of the years that seem
far away and many because of the tremendous
changes that were made during their lapse;
we see him through the mist of the nation S
tears, crowned with the nations love, set on q
high throne Of the nations reverence. The
assassins shot that struck at the life of the
President, drew blood from the heart of Amer
lea. His apotheosis was instant; many men
whom party spirit or misapprehension had
arrayed against President Lincoln and his
policy, saw his worth more clearly when he
had sealed the record Of his faith, and had lett
the land whose sorrows had been SO heavy upon
his heart. To those wlio trusted him as lead
e. among men, he took on greatness more than
human. When the terrible word Of his muir
der ran over trembling wires, a cry rose up
through all the North-not the stately lament
for a lost leader, but the bitter intimate sorrow
for the passing away of the father of his
people
Abraham Lincoln was as dear to the coun-
try's heart as he was great before its sight;
and the story of his life cannot be too often re-
peated in all its details of honest work. struggle
against hinderng circumstances, and final
success. All that is royal of mercy and JUS
tce, of strength and honorable kindliness, is
to be found in the character of Abraham Lin
coin.
Mr. Leland's portrait of the President is
life-like and drawn with appreciative spirit.
In his daily life, no man had less of the con-
ventonal pose of the hero or magnitied his
office less in speech or bearing than President
Lincoln. Simple, homely, shrewd in his talk
and manner-he was little to the taste of the
would-be aristocrats of political life. He had a
quaint story to tell that bore upon each case
and we can only guess, who know and love
him now, now bitter was the sorrow that he
lightened for a moment with a laugh. Abra-
ham Lincoln had the great gift of wise sympa
thy; he felt the sin of his land and the suffer
ing of the enslaved people; it was an iror
crown that he wore and it lay heavy on hi;
head. All through his life, from earliest boy
hood, Lincoln had the good name Of an honest
and trusty man. The neighbors referred theil
differences to him, and said of him "He is the
fairest man | ever had to deal with" He was
industrious, temperate, constantly improving
every opportunity. He won the good VIII oil
all that knew him. These qualities were the
foundation of his after life which has become
historic. The present biographer, Mr. Leland
has arranged the events of the life of Lincoln
and those of the war, which were so connected
as properly to form part of his history, with
care and skill. The volume, OF very moderate
size, gives a forcible and clear idea OF the ca
reer of Abraham Lincoln from his obscure boy
hood to his honorable grave.

Give Us a Bill of Particulars.

1t is not to be regretted, it is to be re-
ioiced in, that in this State specific allega-
tions of corruption of voters have been
brought against men whose names have
been given. We have had much OF the gen
eral lie, the lie without name or other cir
cumstance. We have now to deal with the
circumstantial lie, and that is far easier
thing to deal with. When we were told
that the Republicans of Maine bought voters
by the wholesale, that they broke jails and
emptied brothels to stuff the ballot boxes,
we could only make general denial. We
could not produce pimps and drunkards and
other disreputahle loafers, to say that they
had not been bribed. They were the wit
nesses for the other side. We could cross
examine them after they were placed upon
to them, for we did not even know their
names.
There is prospect now that these wit
nesses will be put in a position where they
can be identified, can be looked at and ques-
toned. The Boston Globe promises great
revelations. The promise may be made only
for effect on the Massachusetts election, and
the subject may, after Tuesday, be dismissed
by the Globe. But the Republicans OF
Maine will not consent to the dismissal.
They demand the names, the residence, and
the testimony Of these promised witnesses.
They demand that to the airy nothings Of
fusion imagination shall be given local
habitation and a name. If one-half or one
third of the Democrats and Greenbackers Of
Maine have been bribed or intimidated into
voting the Republican ticket, as alleged by
the yituperative and evasiye Springer, we
want to know it. If the jails have been de-
livered, and the brothels ransacked to pro-
cure Republican votes we want TO know
it. If ''repeaters' have been brought into
the State, if dead men have been personated
if men have been drugged and carried to the
polls want to know it. If Democratic
attorneys have been put under ban by the
courts and impoverished because of their
political opinions, we want to know it. Ii
Washington County Democrats swap the
privilege of suffrage for pair of boots we
want to know it. Charges of this nature
should be brought in court. The fusion
leaders prefer to try them by newspaper
Well, lei is accept this tribunal. But lei
the chat IS be made specific and be preferred
by some Maine newspaper that can be held
to account for libel and slander. Then We
can sift evidence and settle accounts.

Moondyne is brilliant and powerful story
from the peu OF the iournalist-poet, John Boyle
O'Reilly. Australia, with its superb riotous
color and life, its sad exiled people, sent 1or
their sins into the wilderness not fall TO
impress the poetic and pitying soul OF the man
who lived for years among its strange scenes.
Moondyne is romance of Australia, and in
kindred kew to the authors poems already
published Regarded merely as novel, the
plot of Moondyne is insufficient in motive and
construction. But turn from the technical
considerations of ok-making-Moondyne is
a cry of burdened humanity, direct and pas
sionate assertion of man S inborn nobility Vic
tor Hugo would shake the hand of the author
of Moondyne. The character of the hero is
epic the lesser personages, including the hero
inc, are quite subordinate and not 50 success
full. The descriptions of life in the Australian
bush are the vivid sketches of an eyewitness;
and the savage splcndor of the scene where
Mcondyne and the treacherous sergeant find

esque quality Charles Kingsley's memorable

INSECTS AND FLOWERS.

1t has long been known that flowers
were necessary to insects; but it is only
within the last few years that it has been
discovered that insects are quite as necessary
to flowers. There are, however, but two
or three tribes of insects whose visits are
serviceable to flowers in the way of fertiliza-
ton. The Lepidoptera or butterfly tribe
are specially so, and the moths flying by
night and visiting such flowers as are only
open at that time, are furnished with a
trunk or proboscis which sucks up honey in
fluid state, and in seeking it the insect
becomes covered with pollen, which it
transfers from flower TO flower. In this
way single insect will fertilze many
flowers Besides being attracted by the
color of flowers, insects seem capable of ap-
preciating taste and smell, just as the higher
animals do. What flowers are to insects,
fruits are to birds and mammals. Both are
colored, scented, and sweet; but they have
acquired their various allurements for the
attraction Of widely different creatures,
