EThe gathering earnestness Of pub
lie indignation oyer the villaluous
Democratic plot in Maine, to steal the
state by counting out Republicans cleo
ted to the legislature. has frightened
the conspirators, and it now seems
probable that the governor and coun-
Gil will coniine themselves to their le-
gal powers in granting certificates Of
election to those elected on the face Of
the returns. Ofcourse the Democratic
press is now industriously ridiculing
the idea that any unlawful action has
been contemplated, although until now
il has been unanimous in demanding
that the Republican majority be count

COLLISION ON THE NEW LONDON LINE.
"A collision between freight and a
passenger train on the New London
Northern Railroad occurred at half past
O'Clock, Monday morning, between
Palmer and Three Rivers, Mass. The
engines of both trains and two or three
cars were wrecked. Seven persons

II The faculty of the college made
all needed concessions to the students
in regard to amnesty for their conduct
in withdrawing from college relations,
but we do not understand that they
made any surrender on any other point.
We believe those papers who look upon
the settlement as triumph on the part Of
the students which will have bad effect
upon their future behavior are entirely
mistaken. The faculty did not concede
a single important principle of govern
ment, nor do the students so understand
it. They are back on probation, and
understand the penalty which will fol.
low a violation of the promise they all
have given the faculty. College disci.
pline will be rigidly enforced. We trust
the good sense OF the faculty and the
honor and manliness of the students
will soon cause the recent difficulties tc
pass out Of sight, to be followed by nc
new causes OF dissatisfaction.

every one as to the purity and weight
OF the coin. No legal tender act is
needed to force such coin into circula-
ton.
Our silver dollars are an illustra-
ton of the powerlesness of the govern
ment fiat to give value to a coin.
The fiat makes the silver coin OF
412 IL grains weight 10 be legal ten
der for one dollar. If the fiat were
good for anything in giving val
ues, these dollars ought to circulate
equally with gold dollars, since so far
as the fiat is concerned they stand on
the same footing. But as a matter Of
fact only few millions can be forced
into circulation, the balance remaining
in the treasury, and flowing back there
as fast as paid out. If enough silver
dollars of this value were coined to sup
ply the currency needs of the country,
and gold and paper dollars were with
drawn from circulation, the legal ten
der quality of the coin would bolster up
its value but for short time, after
which rise in prices would show that
the value of the silver dollar had fallen
to the intrinsic value of the metal con-
tanned in it.
"But if the government should coin
S5-cent silver dollars to an unlimited
amount, they would at once drive out
all better money and fall to their value
in making exchanges; that is, the silver
dollar would purchase 85 cents worth
of labor, wheat, meat or anything else,
J and no more," says the Register; but in
saving SO it exhibits lamentable ig-
norance of the laws of initiation and
contraction. The very thing which II
SAYS would result from the unlimited
t coinage of the So cent dollar would hap
, pen with the unlimited coinage of 1Ot
or $50 cent dollar. That is, with the
! unlimited coinage of all kinds of money
metal or paper, prices would rise so tina

He Died in the Harness.

While Doctor Mosely, the Boston
mountain-climber, was facing death on
the Matterhorn, another tragedy was en-
acting On the side of Breil. A guide,
named Joseph Brandschen, from St.
Nicholas, had been engaged to accom-
pany party of tourists who proposed
to ascend the Matterhorn by the Italian
side and descend to Zermatt. The poor
fellow was far from well at the time, but
he had wife and six children, and the
price offered him, $50 francs. was an in
ducement he could not resist. During
the journey his illness increased, and by
the time the party arrived near the cab
in above Breil his condition had become
so serious that he found it impossible to

his companions did all they could to
help him. In this emergency there was

a SagaciOus Dog.

Some one at the British Associations
meeting at Dublin read a paper on the
intellect of animals. He cited no case
so remarkable as that of Cuchino's dog,
which lives ON this boat. This, and the
steamer which runs to Desenzano-ff-
teen miles away, at the southwest corner
of the lake-start from Riva, on the
north end of Garda. The dog was
familiar with the crews of both, and with
the other craft, but he had never made
a trip on her. For long time he watch
ed her course down the other side of the
lake, and saw her drawing farther away,
until she was hidden by the projecting
point. One day, his mind fully settled
to its theory, he proceeded to verify it.
He marched deliberately over to Desen-
zano, took passage, came safely to Riva,
and went back to his familiar kitchen
with an air of entire satisfaction. He
could not be induced to take another
trip on that boat. He had "done" it,
and had no more worlds to conquer in
that direction. He had reasoned out a
plan of action, and had found his reas-
oning correct Colonel Geo. E. Warning,

A Successful Bride,

A good joke is told at the expense of
one Of the female boarders at a popular
summer hotel at Watch Hill. a chamber
maid being the perpetrator. It seems
that some of the beds in the house are
much inferior to others, and a lady who
occupied one of the good ones desired to
secure another of them for Philadelphia
friend who was coming to the house,
so she requested the chamberplaid to see
that room containing such one was
reserved. The girl soon reported that
none could be procured, whereat the lady
gave her a dollar, with Instructions to
shift some one else's good bed, replace it
by poorer one, and give the good one
to her friend. The girl promised to carry
out this plot, and the result was that the
Philadelphia lady that night slept on a
good bed; but the lady who bribed the
chambermaid was somewhat astounded
to find in her own room, upon retiring
for the night, the inferior bed substitute
ed for her own.

A Wonderful Eddy.

There is wonderful eddy in the Dela-
ware, at Narrowsburg, Sullivan county,
New York. 1t is continually bubbling,
and the application Of lighted match
to bubble makes blue flame shoot up
from it, and burn for while with much
brightness. The bottom is rocky and
abounds in assures, from which the gas
finds its way to the surface along
the shores, agitating the sand and mud
as it forces itself through. Near the
New York shore of the eddy is a small
island of sand, over which an inverted
frkin was set some years ago. Then a
small lead pipe was inserted. In a few
hours this reservoir was filled with gas.
The plug was pulled out, and on light
ing the gas jet of fame rose to the height
Of six feet. It burned for several days.
Then freshet washed the frkin away.
The mountaineers focked to Narrows-
burg by the hundred to see this modern
pillar of fire, and the Second Adventists
who were prophesying the near approach
of the end of the world, made many con-
verts in the neighborhood. The next ex-
pertinent was on larger scale. A hogs
head was foated to place on mud
island, where the gas assembled in larger
quantities, inverted in the mud, and a
two-inch pipe six feet long attached,
giving the reservoir whole day to fill
The gas was to be lighted after dark
Hundreds of persons assembled near the
island in boats. One Partridge-over
six feet high and heavy in proportion
mounted the hogshead to apply the torch
to the end of the pipe. The gas did not
ignite, but loud rumpling noise was
heard. Then followed an explosion, and
the hogshead was blown to pieces. Part
ridge was shot fifty feet up in the air and
far out in the river, but not hurt much.
The island was lifted almost bodily from
the water and was distributed over the
frightened spectators.

The tallest men of whom record is
made were German named Hans Bar

of them being eleven feet high: their
weight is not known. The heaviest man
of whom record is made was Miles Oar

LOCO pounds: he died in 1857. Daniel
Lambert, the English mass of flesh"
was five feet eleven inches in height, and
weighed 739 pounds. In 1865 there was
buried at Bengal, India, man named
Cugua, who claimed to be $50 years of
age. The Oldest person who died during
the present century was Frenchman in
