the governement of that State wrongfully,
and that the legislature, after they have
thus wrongfully seized it and possessed
themselves of it, mean to change the law in
that State and choose Democratic electors
next year.
The purpose of this is very plain. Sen.
ator Blaine is exceedingly anxious that the
Maine Democrats shall do just this very
thing. He and all his allies in the Repub-
lican party are trying by every means in
their power to goad the fusionists in Maine
into changing the law in Maine in regard to
the choice of electors, and enact law which
shall give that choice to the legislature. The
object Of having the Demo Gratis in Maine do
this, is to give the Republicans an excuse for
doing the same thing in New York. Che
Republicans realize that they can afford to
have this thing done in Maine even
if it should be carried to completion. and
the Maine legislature should elect Demo-
cratic electors, because the Republicans
could loose Maine,and still carry the country
If they can secure New York and Indiana
and the other Northern States. It is pro-
posed to CORY Indiana by the negro coioni-
cation scheme, which has already been in
augurated. The Democratic majority in
that State is only about five Thousand. The
law OF that State allows any man to vote
aftes residence of six months. Between
this and spring the country may expect to
see 100, 900 negroes transported to Indians
frora North Carolina and other Southern
States.
This, in brief, lis the desperate scheme
which some of the most saeacious political
leaders here firmly believe the Republican
party is determined upon, and which they
seem to be already preparing to carry out

The record of last seasons disasters to
the Gloucester fishing fleet is not only
most distressing in itself, but it would
not be surprising if it was the final blow
that put an end to an industry that has
long been ]anguishing, so far as New
England is concerned. The rewards of
fishing have not only grown less and, less
from year to year, in comparison with
other industries, but the decay of our
commerce has deprived it of the collate-
raj advantage which it possessed in being
a nursery for seamen and college for
captains.
Young men no longer graduate from
the decks of fishing schooners to the COM
mand Of clipper ships, as they used to
do, simply because the clipper ships have
disappeared, and therefore the best and
most high-spirited youth no longer are
attracted to the fishing fleet as the pre-
paratory school for higher career. The
vessels have been manned and sent out
because the industry has slowly Ian
guished rather than died violent death,
but the hope, the energy, the spirit have
departed from the crews, and they no
longer represent the best and most ac-
tive element of the population, which has
turned to more profitable and promising
occupations. The loss of thirty vessels
and 1877 men from the diminished fleet
may very likely operate as final dis
corragement and put an end to any fur
ther additions, which have constantly
grown fewer, and leave only the remain
ing vessels to linger until they are worn
out or lost. 1t will be loss in a tradi-
tional point of view, for the country has
long been proud of the courage and en-
durance Of New. England fishermen,
which drew the splendid eulogium OF
Burke; but it is hardly worth while to
maintain a meagerly rewarded and decay
ing industry at the COST Of such tragedies
and so many cherries hearthstones..

History OF a DefunCt Free.l0vers'

About six miles west of Battle Greek,
Michigan, is dilapidated village, now
known as "Harmonia," or the "Prairie

beautiful prairie. The village was origin

set of religious fanatics who called them

ner. They separated from the sect in
the city OF Battle Greek known as Spirit
ualists, and founded this village, erecting
church and a school, or institute, for
the promulgation of their doctrines
The original name of the village was
Harmony" from the motto OF the
Church, but it was afterward changed to
Harmonic. Just before the war they
We're fourishing organization, number
ing about three hundred members, and
sending over two hundred children to
their institute. The founder and chief
leader was an Elder Carnell, a well-edu-
Gated man, but led more by licentious
passions than a love for religion. For
several years their organization fourished
and their numbers increased. Things
went on in this way until the neighbors
from the surrounding country and from
this city, who were lovers of chastity and
morality, made raid.on them, and ex-
posed their iniquitous proceedings and
put stop to their nefarious practices.
Among the most lewd and corrupting
tenets was that which stated that a re-
turn to the nude simplicity and inno-
cence of Adam and Eve was desirable
object to be attained, and, for the
furtherance of this object, they frequent
ly, and at stated intervals, engaged in
dances of the most disgusting character.
The members of the church were alone
admitted to these carnivals of cupidity,
where all danced in the dark in a state OF
entire nudity. These at last became such
source of annoyance and such a pro-
mitigation of vice that the moral-lovinr
neigh ors made a raid upon them and
broke up the entire church.
Their object of educating the youth of
the village to a simplicity and innocence
of vice. by culture and constant lectur-
ing against it, proved but school for
crime, and from it have emanated many
of the criminals of this vicinity. There
are still to-day iu this city many citizens
who once were believers in the doctrine
before it was carried to the extreme that
it was. But this modern SDdom and
Gomorrah, like its prototype, aroused the
wrathsof the deities, and now the once
fourishing and prosperous village Of
seven hundred inhabitants is poverty
stricken hamlet of but few dilapidated
houses, and is anything but the exempli-
fcation of its name.

Tho Ways of London Beggars.


PARALYSIS is often initiated, and so
closely that there is no detecting the i'm
position. A fellow is directed how to
hang the elbow, twist the wrist, and
drop the fingers of one arm, and to drag
the corresponding leg Imply after him,
counterfeiting paralytic stroke to the
life. | have seen one drilled up to the
proper business mark by marching him
round and round beggars' kitchen for
hours at stretch, and night after night.
This is continued until the patient can
bear sharp and unexpected prick with
q needle, or even the touch Of hot
iron, without relapsing into his normal
attitude.
Not many years ago one of the mock
paralytics, who was accustomed to throw
off his seeming infrmity and play the
burglar by way of change, was caught
in the very act of breaking into house
and committed for trial. Here he got up
such semblance of hopeless paralysis as
deceived everybody. When his trial
came on he was carried into court on a
stretcher, and laid at full length in the
dock. Everybody, including the judge
and jury, commisarated his case, and he
escaped with one years imprisonment
instead Of long term of penal servi-
tude.
The doctor of the prison to which the
convict was next transferred felt sure
that the whole thing was sham, and
tried all the ordinary methods of detec-
ton, including liberal use of the galvanic
battery, but without effect. At length
a great heap of damp straw was collected
in the Jail yard, and the scoundrel, still
stretched on his pallet, which he never
quilted, was placed thereon. The straw
was fired on all sides, throwing out lit
tie fame and dense volumes of choking
smoke. This did the BUSINESS, and
quickly too. In less than a minute the
paralytic astonished everybody but the
doctor by bounding out among them
with the agility of a deer. "The game is
up" he exclaimed with laugh, when
he had done coughing-adding in a tone
of triumph-"Anyhow, I have diddled
the law out Of six years" The tor.
ture such people infiict on themselves for
weeks and months at time, and volun.
tarily, is simply incredible.
