A Republican State Convention
NOROMBEGA HALL, BANGOR,
WILL BE HELD IN

NOROMBEGA HALL, BANGOR,
Thursday, June 26, 1879, at o,cpk A. NJ.
for the purpose of nominating candidte for Gov
ernor, and for transacting whatever business may
properly come before it.
Ihe basis of representation will be one delegate
Tor each city, town and plantation, and addition
al delegate for every seventyve votes cast for the
Republican candidate for Governor in 1876. A
majority fraction will be entitled to a delegate.
The State Committee will be in session the evening
preceding and at o'clock the morning of the Con-
vention, to receive the credentials of delegates.
In selecting the Delegates the Republicans are
urged to assemble in full numbers and to invoke the
aid and cooperation of all voters who willing
unite with them to the following ends:
1. To maintain the power and prestige of the
Union against all attempts to subvert oppose its
just authority and to insist that the Government of
the United States shall be controlled by loyal men.
2. To discountenance and reprobate the treason
able and revolutionary course of the Democrats in
Congress, who threaten to cripple and destroy the
functions of the Government if constitutonaly pre-
vented from enacting their partisan into
law.
3. To uphold the right of the United States to
enforce its own laws wherever they are to operate
and to frown down and put down the dangerous
heresy of the States Right secessionsts who have
already plunged the country into one bloody war
and who are now attempting to control the Govern
ment of the Union with the same measures that
preceded the rebellion of 1861.
A. To insist upon free elections-not only free
from National military inference, which no one de-
sres but also free from the interference and vio-
lence of socaed State militia and the assassins who
of the Southern States, driving innocent and de-
fenceless voters from the ballot-box and making a
mockery of elections which war upon free suffrage
has been made distinct political issue by every
Democrat in the Senate and House voting against
measure designed to prevent and suppress it.
5. To uphold the financial credit of the Govern
ment and to assure to the people of all sections
sound currency, equivalent to coin at all times and
in all places, and redeemable in COIN And to this
end to oppose all distracting repudiating aud mis-
chievous efforts against the peace, welfare and in
dustrial prosperity of the People.
6. In these aims and purposes all citizens of
Maine are invited to unite, that the hands of the
President and of the Republican minority in both
branches of Congress may be strengthened in their
efforts to uphold the honor of the Government and
the just authority of National Law

ried my paper from the stage office on my
shoulder to my printing office, worked off my
paper on a rusty old hand press, and wrote or
scissored out of exchanges everything the sheet
contained. About the time the war broke out
1 was existing in this way when 1 heard of a
paper being circulated for signatures petition
ing the Legislature to prohibit negroes from
coming into the State, and asking for legis-
lation to remove all the colored population the
State then contained. What was then known
as copperheadism was an important element in
our State political history of the time. 1 was
then as now Republican, and the petition was
not brought to me. heard of it, and hearing
also that a shiftless, worthless fellow named
Levi Flenner-whose parents, by the way, were
both in the almshouse as county charges-was
circulating it, made up my mind to see the
paper. The satire of the situation struck me
at once. The few negroes we had in Findlay
were hard-Worklng, laW-abld1dg men, and to
remove them from the State and leave Levi
there was preposterous outrage on the fitness
of things. One night in a country drugstore,
where people gather, as you know, in country
towns, met Levi. / saw paper in his pock-

Memorial DAY..

Throughout the North this day is given
up to memorial observances in honor of
those brave and devoted men who went
forth to battle for the unity of the Republic,
and the maintenance of National supremacy
and died in that honorable service. The
custom of decorating the graves of our SOL
diers is more generally observed each year.
There is scarcely town now, in New Eng
land certainly, that does not honor its sons
who fell in battle, by this fitting token of
regard. 1t has been predicted that the OBJ
servances of Memorial Day would be speedi-
ly abandoned. May that prediction prove
false! While monuments to the Confeder-
ate soldiers are springing up all over the
South it would speak ill for the gratitude
and earnestness of the Northern people
should they forget or hold in light esteem
their own soldiers who gave up their lives in
the noblest service in which men ever en-
listed. Certainly as long as men live who
fought in the armies of the Republic the
memory of their fallen comrades will be
kept green.
NOR Will the principles Tor the furtherance
of which the great struggle was made be
suffered to pass out of the memories of men.
The war was fought for definite object,
the assertion of National authority, and
the results gained by so lavish an expendi-
ture of loyal blood will not be lightly sur
rendered The sacrifice was great, and the
country will see that it was not made in
vain. The survivors of that conflict and
their children must not relax their efforts
until the theories of government they
fought to support are established be-
yond danger of reversal. When our soldiers
dropped the musket, they retained a weapon
which is more potent in country like ours
the ballot. Thus armed they will guard
the Union they saved.

Rat Pie.

The Rev. j. G. Wood, of natural history ce-
lebrity, has been lecturing on rat pie, and max
ing the subject so popular that che receives
thousand letters week" ON that exciting top
ic. OF course his correspondents want the re-
ceipt and he gives it to them. "Rat pie was
made in precisely the same manner as rabbit
pie, the only difference being that in case of
the rat pie the result was far more delicious
The cook should be careful to procure as fine
rats as possible, cut off their tails, skin, dress,
and wash them, then cut them into four pieces,
and add few morsels of pork fat. When
cooked and cold the pie was full of the most
delicious jelly. He had often been dining with
ms friends when they left most excellent vi
ands on the table untouched, while every scrap
OF the rat pie had been devoured. d."-London

A DEMOCRATIC member of the House
Committee on Appropriations is reported as
saying that ''the army appropriation bill
will never be reported from the committee
again. My own constituents will stand by
me as indorsers of such action; and believe
the majority of the people are of the opinion
that there is no need of standing army.
Congress has right at any time to abolish
the army, and I think the time has come for
doing it. assure you that the Democratic
party will not hesitate to let the army die of
starvation, and they believe that in so doing
they are acting from the best and most pat
riotic motives"

Among the fine series of Biographies of Eng
ley CNew York; Harper Brothers; Portland
Loring, Short & Harmony one of the most at
tractiye and valuable is the volume upon Spen-
ser, by Rev. r. W. Church, Dean of st. Paul's.
1t is a very clear and full description of the
time in which Spenser lived, of his verse, and
of the era of English poetry which the biogra-
pher considers to have begun with the author
OF the Faerie Queene. 1t is always pleasant
and useful way of Hooking at an historic period
to group its personages around some central
figure; and taking Spenser for this one we have
a brilliant and curious picture Of the poets who
fiourished at the time Of Queen Elizabeth.
The conventional adulation of the sovereign
who even figured as Gloriana, Cynthia and
Belph9be in Sponsors poems-and was almost
as inevitable in the literature of her reign as
was King Charles in Mr.. Dicks conversation;
the affectations of speech and manner, are very
amusing to read of. Sponsors free and origi-
nal use of words, his stretching or shipping of
syllables for sake of rhyme (which by the way
Dean Church spells rinae) the afluence of the
poets thought, are finely described. The biog-
tribute to the varied possibilities of musical
sound in the English speech-and his own ad-
mirable use of language and appreciative COM
ment prove that he understands the instrument
in its power and variety. Dean Church's conn.,
ments and explanations of the allegory Of the
Faerie Queene are exceedingly interesting and
give much insight of the somewhat tangled
mazes of the poem.
Hearts Delight CNew York: G.. W. Carleton
& Co.. is bright and pleasant novel, written
by Mrs. Elizabeth Winslow Alderdice--a
lady who has many friends in Portland, and
whose literary talent is well known. Hearts
Delight is story of much variety and interest
and readers grown weary of the slipshod and
inelegant style of many recent novels, will en-
joy the refined and unaffected manner of this
one. Some incidents and descriptions are
said to be of local interest, and the author
shows much appreciation of the fine scenery of
America, and blends the human interest OF
the story very pleasingly with its descriptive
passages. 1t is fresh and readable novel.
Another volume of the same series is Princi-
pal Shairp's Biography of Robert Burns, clear
thoughtful and impartial work, as was to be
expected of the author. Approaching very full
ly the genius of Burns, he protests against the
mistaken partisanship of those who overlook
or deny the faults of the poet. The result is a
very life-like portraiture, just as it is appre-
ciative and generous. This series of memoirs
is exceedingly well designed, and its subjects
are treated by writers particularly fitted to
their several tasks.
