EDWARD BETS, PRESIDENT.
Paid up Capital, $500, 900.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1879-06-14
An Interesting Scientific Expert
ment,

The English are notably slow in inven-
ton. An Australian paper, the Brisbane
New South Wales) Courier, announces that
Signor Rotura, sojourning in those pats,
has discovered a method Of suspending ami
nation in living animals for an indefinite
time, and of restoring iG again at his will.
He takes few drops of vegetable extract
the name of the drowsy plant is not given,
and injects them into the ear of the sub
ject selected for the experiment. The ami
NAL at once falls into a lethargy undistin-
guishable from death, and unless the body
is speedily put on ice, decomposition sets in.
But if it be put into a refrigerator it can be
kept there in good condition for years, and
be brought back to life at the will Of the ex-
perimenter. In order to restore it to con-
sciousness he has only to make hole in the
back of its neck, and inject a few drops of
an antidote. The experiment has been tried
on cats and dogs, but Signor Rotura has as
yet made no attempt on human beings. He
hopes to soon, however, and has applied to
the Governor Of the Colony to turn over to
his tender mercies the next felon condemned
to death.
story from the Australian paper, seems to
think the experiment something new and
marvellous. 1t is mistaken. The invention
is of American origin, in fact was made in
this State of Maine, and is now undergoing
the crucial test. In the course of the "still
hunt they have been pursuing for some
years the leaders of the Democratic party
in this State discovered this soporifc, and
eagerly proceeded to investigate its proper
ties. They soon found out its power, and
hastened to put it to the practical test. Dur
ing the last year they caught every
Democrat they could get hold of
and making hole in his ear, poured the
extract in. They have already succeeded in
innoculating about two thirds of the party
and are industriously hunting the others.
Some of those yet alive are very shy, and it
will be hard work to catch them. But the
experimentalists hope to secure all but ten
or twelve thousand this Fall As it is, the
party seems in state of suspended anima-
ton, and can take no part in the political
canvass this year. The experiment so far as
conducted, promises complete success.
But the rumor is spreading about that the
doctors who have discovered this new and
powerful drug have not been so fortunate in
their search for the antidote They say
they have got it put away somewhere, they
don't exactly remember where, and can find
it by little hunting. The surviving men,
bers of the party, however, entertain the
horrible suspicion thatit will never be found,
and that animation cannot be restored to the
Democracy of Maine-that at any rate the
Oreilles-Percez will not be brought back to
life. Their only hope is to secure the SER
vices of Signor Rotura, of New South Wales,
and they urge that he be sent for at once
The journey from Australia is a long one
and unless he starts soon he will not get
here by 1880.

Two Bad Breaks.

One of the most influential Greenback
papers in the State, the pioneer in fact of
the Greenback partyin Maine, comes out and
denounces the platform accepted by the
Portland Convention as concession to the
Democracy. 1t intimates that the resolu-
tions adopted were prepared after consulta-
ton with some members of the Democratic
State committee, and forced upon the con-
vention by trick. 1t refuses to accept them
or to lend its influence to an intrigue having
for purpose the absorption of the Green
hackers by the Democracy in 1880.
On the other hand one of the ablest DEM
ocratic papers in New England, paper
which stood by its party when that party
was most unpopular and the prospect of
spoiIs of office as remote as Saturn from the
earth-the Belfast Journal-declares that
the Democracy in Maine has virtually dis
banded" The party has thrown away its
standard, and turned it's back upon the dec
laraticns of its founders, and its leaders
refuse to reaffirm or even acknowledge the
doctrines that made it. The term of enlist
ment of its soldiers is out, and they are free
to go where they please.
This much is certain: The original Green
hackers, the believers in ''fiat money"
that shall have no coin basis, reject
the resolutions of the Portland Conven-
ton; and the genuine hard-money Dem
ocrats, the followers of Jackson and Benton,
refuse to be controlled by knot of in
triguers that seeks to commit the Democracy
to an initiation, legal-tender paper currency.
These men, widely differing in opinion, and
all sincere in their differing beliefs, decline
tobe parties to base and disgraceful con-
spiracy that has for its object the total sur
render of principle in order to gain control of
public patronage. The gulf between them is
too wide to be bridged the wisest of them
see now. 1t will become more apparent as
the campaign progresses. Those of one
belief will pass over to the soft-money camp.
Those of the other will rally round the hard
money standard, and the tricksters and office
seekers, whose only principle is to carry the
election in order to dispose of official patron
age will find the mass of good citizens in the
State arrayed against them. The lines will
be closely drawn this year.

Gleanings from the Mails.

The well-known Swedish Ladies' Quartette
is about to be broken up, owing to the forth
coming marriage of Miss Aberg, one of its
members, to Mr.. Arthur B. Stockbridge, a
prominent musician of Hyde Park The couple
will go to Sweden for several months and will
then return to reside in this country. The
remainder of the quartette will also cross the
ocean this summer and sing in Russia and
Sweden, after which they will disband and
leave the concert stage.
The eruption of Mount Etna is described by
correspondents on the spot as assuming vast
proportions and as making wonderfully
grand display. At times the mountain has
been completely obscured from view by dense
masses of black, sulphurous smoke which COM
pletely quenched the suns rays, while at night
quantities of brilliant balls of fire are thrown
to great hight, bursting aloft like rockets
and emitting fiery showers. Another eruption
in Europe is also feared, a mountain peak near
Lake Balaton, Hungary, which has not been
volcanic in historical times, having begun to
emit smoke, to the great alarm of the neighbor-
ing inhabitants.
The result of the recent trial of Mrs Jennie
Smith and her paramour, Covert d. Bennett,
for the murder of the formers husband at
Jersey City, has excited the sympathy of
number of people, who think that their sem
tence to death is unjust and that they should
have new trial. Miss Emma Abbott, the
prima donna, is among those interest is thus
aroused, and she has offered to organize COM
pany and give con ncert in Jersey City to
assist in raising fund to pay the necessary
expenses of new trial, giving her services
as well as those of her assistants, without
charge. This offer has been accepted, but no
time for the concert has yet been fixed.
The number of emigrants who arrived at
New York for the year ending May 31st was
92,S01, which is 81, 10 more than for the year
ending May 81, 1878. The number for the month
of May this year was 1900, against 1928 in
May, 1878, which is an increase of 80 per cent.
Germany sent 4420, Ireland 2142, England
2533, and Sweden 2501.
1t is stated that the members of the Harvard
Club of New Hork will ask to have Rev. DIR.

of $1,000 for Bennett and Mrs Smith, the
murderers, and new trial is now assured.

THE Philadelphia Times is of the opinion
that ''all the South has to do to make the
election of Grant as certain as any event in
the future, is to get up few more Winches-
ter celebrations, unfurl few more rebel
flags, sing few more rebel songs, and have
few more orators tell the country how pat
rlotic movement rebellion was, and how
grand thing the South attempted when it
decided to overthrow, by causeless war, the
noblest Government of the world.''

Sixteen Saviours or One? is the title of a
vigorous refutation of some recently uttered
denials of the truth of Christianity. 1t is from
the pen of Mr.. John L. Perry well known by
his effective labors upon the editorial staff of
the Cincinnati Gazette, and is published by
Peter G. Thomson of that CITY, Mr.. Perry was
fortunate in having so fragrant an example of
false reasoning and vicious expression as the
writings OF Mr.. Kersey Graves, upon which to
base his luminous, reverent and forcble state
ment OF belief; and thus setting aside with
scorn they deserve the utterances which i'm
mediately suggested his work, Mr.. Perry is
able at the same time to confute the untrue as
sertions and strengthen the timorous belief of
more decorous doubters. In the spread of
athelstlc literature, too, Mr.. Perry sees the
sowing OF seeds of unbelief communism and
recklessness OF all kinds among large numbers
OF voters" This is danger which it is pc
cullarly proper for Mr.. Perry, in his quality of
journalist, to point out-for no man sees more
quickly the signs of the times than the intelli-
gent and right-minded newspaper man. He
has his finger ON the public pulse; he sees more
perfectly than man in any other post can
see, the intimate connection between faith,
WORKS and the ballot. And such an earnest,
uncompromising defence of sacred truths as
