THERE is trouble in Blairville, Iowa,
about ball that was to have been given
by the proprietor of the leading hotel
He desired TO have what he called a
heightened" assemblage, but could
not make up his mind how to draw the
lines. AT first he thought of inviting
only wealthy families, but it turned out
that some of the wealthiest of the resi-
dents were very disreputable He
next adopted the plan of inviting
only the old families Of the place, but
that would have counted in an ex-con-
Wet. The idea of restricting the attend
ance to the families of professional men
was rejected because it would limit the
company to about forty persons, Finally,
the hotel man offered the tickets for sale
to whoever had the money to buy, and
so few were sold, in consequence of the
bad feeling already excited, that the
project was given up.

The latest novelty in London is a
Tonga Islander, one Mr.. Mpopom-ha-
ha. He is nearly fifty years of age, of
mild and prepossessing appearance, re-
markably intelligent, and practical
Christian. The Captain who abducted
him had him instructed, and so remark
ably docile and gifted was he that he is
now lecturing. His lectures are ac-
counts of savage life in his native land,
and are said to be highly interesting.
One great personal attraction about
him is that he admits that in 1860
when he was a cannibal of cannibals, he
and his family ate New York mission
AIRY. He offered part of his earnings as
lecturer as compensation for this I'M
canny banquet; but no relative has as
yet come forward to claim the dividend.

The much talked of toughened glass
seems not to have come into general use
with that rapidity which was predicted.
The fact is that it is apt to explode, and
that is not only tough on the toughened
glass, but rather tough on the'toughened
bystanders. This little defect is some
what inconvenient. If jovial party is
seated around the festive board with
glasses in picturesque profusion thereon
they desire to go on bust themselves,
and are naturally offended if the glass
ware does so instead. The unhandiness
of having toughened glass mirror ex-
piode just as lathered man is getting
up the correct contortion to shave with
is evident to the most obtuse under
standing. Taking it all in all, the sue
cess of toughened glass has exploded.

The Des Moines Qowa) Register of the

recent election was about PSI 600 votes.
Of these. Gear. republican, received near
ly 100000; Trimble, democrat, between
40, 900 and $4,000; Campbell, greenback-
err, $4,000 or As 900, and DUNCAN, social
ed prohibitionist, 5000 or 5000 So that
Gov. Gears majority over all will be rising
of rs ,000-and $1,000 over Trimble and
100000 over Campbell. In the I.eglsla.
ture, 26 Of fine 20 Senator'S elected this year
are republicans, and SO, and possibly, 81
out of the 100 members OF the House. OF
the 81 Senators holding over, IS are re-
publicans and democrats. So it will be
seen that the Legislature may be strongly
suspected of being republican. The elec.
ton of 26 republican Senator'S this year
also makes sure of clear and certain re.
publican majority in the State Senate in
1882.

To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal:

To the Editor OF the hennebec journal:
BosroN, Oct. 81, 1879.
Things are little peculiar in this state,
and up to this time neither party has seemed
to grasp the important issues that gave us
victory in California, Colorado, Iowa, Ohio,
and in Maine. Butler said estate issues on
ly will be discussed" and the republicans, a
his ground, and to talk about ignoring the
Southern question. Mercy the play of
Hamlet, with Hamlet omitted.
There is much personality, not one
particle Of which does any good but does
much harm. How far the country at large
may be interested in dirt-throwing, between
Beard and Butler, or Beard and Simmons. we
have no means of knowing; but if left to
guess, we should say about as much as they
care about what the Pope of Rome eats for
breakfast. The speakers who are here from
other States keep themselves above this kind
of work, and are making national speeches
the same as were made in Maine and Ohio,
and the masses of the people like it too. Sew
en-tenths Of the republicans of Massachusetts,
il not seven-eighths, are real Stalwarts on this
Southern question, and only the few are try
ing to make the old Bay State shut her eyes
to the nations danger. As to predictions,
have none to make With canvass like
that of Maine and Ohio, this State would
give Long 10000 majority, but with milk and
water diet-well, no one can now tell what
may happen. The Butler vote will be out.
Will the republicans get their votes out? Not
from present indications, although there is
time yet to do much. The revival of bust
ness, the better employment of all classes,
will lose Butler large number of votes,
and so even with the lukewarm campaign
made by the republicans up to this time,
Long will carry the State, but then by no
such crushing vote as the emergency of the
case at this time requires ORsRRyER
