The resolve for submitting to the peo-
pie the proposition to amend the consti-
tuition Of Maine, in respect to elections
and legislative sessions, passed both
branches. Should it be adopted, as
there can be but little doubt that it will
be, elections viii thereafter be holden
every other year, in November, and the
legislature will meet on alternate years,
instead of yearly as now. BY this change
the business of the state will be as well
done as previously, and an expenditure
of at least $4,000 saved for the years in
which no session occurs, to say nothing
of the large Indirect saving in time,

name given to Gen. Myers who since
1866 has been chief Of the United States
Signal Service. The present mcte0rol0g
zeal work was begun under an act of Con-
gress approved in February, 1870, and
has since been carried on under that and
subsequent acts with increasing accura-

been accomplished shows what further

The Boston Herald which is eminentlv
a paper of the people, and takes lively
interest in all that relates to the welfare
of the laboring classes, has been inyesti-
eating the condition of the working men
OF NJ Massachusetts, by the light Of figures
furnished by the bureau Of statistics of
that state. From these it comes to the
conclusion that Sin 1873 the weekly wages,
on gold basis, averaged twenty four and
1our-tenths per cent. higher than they
did in 1860, while the advance in the
prices of the necessaries of life, in shelter,
food and clothing, between the same dates
was only l45 per cent. Thus, to speak
roundly, the laborer has bettered his con-
ditlon by ten per cent. In other words.
he has gained very nearly five weeks in
