A STRANGE CAsE-A short time
ago Geo, l., Taylor, well-to-do citizen
of Denver, Col, began to feel a weighti-
ness in his cheeks. The muscles ap-
peared to be growing stiff and the skin
certainly Rad become hardened Mr..
Taylor's friends made jocose remarks
about his Heheek," when the hardening
began, but the sufferer himself was in
no mood fer fun, Before the expira-
tion of the week both sides of the mans
face assumed the solidity of marble.
He was unable to hold up his head.
His eyes took stony glitter, One
side Of the neck also grew hard, and
in another week the victim died. The
Denver physicians pronounced the case
one of decided petrifaction.
Mr., Taylor was 82 years of age, and
just before the appearance of the sin
gnlar disease weighed 65 pounds. After
death the petrifaction continued so,
that the weight Of tile old mans body
is 500 pounds. Mr.. Taylor had the
use Of his tongue until the hour Of bis
death, and realizing the oddity of his
taking off, requested that his body be
sent to the Smithsonian Institate.-
Exchange.

The Vermont Victory.

The victory in Vermont is sweeping. The
Republican majority will certainly reach
and probably exceed 26,sO0, gain of 5000
over the preceding gubernatorial election,
and of 2300 over the election of 1876. The
Democrats there have made the most de-
termined and most hopeful fight ever waged
in the State, have been supplied with and
have lavishly expended great sums of
money; and they have never been so fear
fully beaten. The rising Hancock wave, of
which we hear so much in Democratic Jour
nails, has idly broken against the Vermont
rocks, and will now fast recede. 1t has
reached the high-water rk. Vermont
does for the Democracy this year what North
Carolina did for the Democracy in 1872; and
now, as then, Maine will follow up, and will
annihilate Democratic hope of victory in the
Presidential contest
In Vermont the Democrats looked for
gains, as now in Maine they:expect aid, from
the Greenback vote. Two years ago that
vote was considerable factor in the politics
of the Green Mountain State, and resulted
in the election of Congressman. To-day
it is totally without influence. The Demo
Gratis who patronized it as side show-pay-
ing revenue and bringing profit to their own
big tent have given it up as hopeless
speculation, and sthe Republicans BETRAYED
into it have seen their error and have come
back to the party with which all their in
terests and sympathies lie. The Republican
party in Vermont is stronger than it was
before the Greenback organ ization came to
birth.
Like Vermont, like Maine. The result
there is most cheering to us here. Here as
there Republicans who have camped in the
Greenback tents confess that their right Of
frolic is over, wake up ashamed of their
disreputable boom companions, and will
henceforth cast their lot with the old party
into which they were born, the party that is
the refuge and hope of every laboring man
and liberty-loving American.

A Strong Republican Argument
Reduction Of the Public Debt.
[Kennebec Journal.]

The reduction of the public debt during the
last month was over twelve million dollars.
This statement is a splendid attestation of the
fidelity of the Republican party to its pledges.
and the ability with which the finances of the
country are managed. Does the country want
"a change" in this regard? Do the business
men want "a changer" Do they want this
unprecedented reduction of the public debt to
cease and the revenue of the government
wasted in Democratic defalcations, as it was
before the Republicans came into power? The
other nations of the earth are astonished at the
rapidity with which the enormous debt caused
by the rebellion is melting away the fnan-
ciers of Europe came to Washington to see
what methods are employed to do it; but they
see nothing but prosperous nation, made so
by the Republican party, paying its taxes,
which are honestly collected, and they see the
revenue derived from those taxes applied eco
nomically and judiciously. In the annual re-
polt of Commissioner Raum it was shown that
the enormous revenue from internal duties
was collected without the loss or waste of a
dollar. When the report of the Commissioner
Of Customs appears a similar exhibit will be
presented and in those reports will be shown
the good and honest management of finances,
During Secretary Sherman's administration
the debt has been reduced at the rate of a
hundred millionfof dollars year, principal
and interest, and this last year of his service
bids fair to exceed the entire past

ALBANY Journal: .''It will not do to be
beaten now." So says Gen. Grant, and so
say all of us Republicans. And what is
more, we are not going to be beaten. The
people are not yet prepared to turn over this
Government into the hands of the Demo-
cratic party, which is the same in spirit and
tendency to-day as it was in 1860, and which
now, as then, is controlled by its Southern
wing. The South has been freely forgiven
the terrible crime of secession. To-day it
has the same opportunities as the North,
East and West. The disabilities have been
removed from those who flew at the throat
of the nation. What more do the ex-rebels
ask? Why they ask that the country shall
transform the virtue of forgiveness and rec
onciliatior into criminal weakness by call
ing the Democracy with the South in COM
mand, to the head of affairs. The demand
is preposterous. TO comply with it would

On the Block?

Were one to believe the Fusion organs in
this State one would think that at the door
of every other Greenbacker and Democrat
in Maine the red flag was flying, inviting
bids. In every Bringing SENTENCE of Fu-
sion editorials we hear the tinkle of the auc-
tioneer's bell. No sooner does q Green
backer, realizing that the ends his
party sought to reach are unat-
tainable and that the organization is hences
forward worse than useless because an obsta-
Gle instead of an aid to good government, come
back to the old party to which he belonged.
than some Fusion Greenback sheet shouts
'Gonev' and asks which lot of goods is TO
be put up next. No sooner does Demo-
crat who has not believed that his party
miscounted in the South, but does see that
it miscounted in Maine, determine to rebuke
fraud before going hunting for it in far-off
States, and so declares he will vote the Re-
publican State ticket, this year, than some
Fusion Democratic sheet says that he was
on the block and knocked down to the high
est bidder.
the Fusion organs tell of fabulous sums paid
by Republicans for votes. Last year the
Sucker they imported from the Wes. wrote
home that thirty thousand Fusionists were
purchased. We are given to understand
this year that the rest are in the market,
that the red flag of the auctioneer has been
flung from every Fusion window from Kit
terry Point 10 Quoddy Head.
Such are the vile imputations cast upon
Democrats and Greenbackers by nearly
every Fusion organ in Maine. Perhaps
honest and honorable men are proud to be-
long to party whose advertising sheets are
filled with announcements of auction sales
of their principles and their votes. But we
cannot think that they delight in being put
at vendue, or that they will sustain the
wings of the foul birds that dirty their own
nests. We do not believe that Greenbackers
in our country towns will relish the state
ment made in every Fusion paper from the
Maine Standard clear down to the Camden
Herald, that they sold their votes last Fall
for bribes ranging in value from barrel of
flour to fifty cent piece. We cannot think
that any Portland Irishman will hear with
out resentment the charge preferred by Gen.
Anderson-preferred in suburban towns
where he fondly and foolishly thought that
no Irishman was within sound of his voice
that sixty Of his race in one ward of this
city, were bought like sheep at three dollars
a head. Norwill it be any comfort to much
maligned men to hear from these same vera
cious Fusion organs that votes are worth
fifteen hundred dollars apiece this year.
Men who spurn bribes are not haggling for
higher prices.

The Planets in September.
Proyidnce Journal

Jupiter is morning star according to the as
Economical calendar, though observers who
note his early advent above the horizon will
naturally class him as an evening star. But
scientists have their laws, and one of these is
that the outer planets are ranked as morning
stars from conjunction to opposition, and
evening stars from opposition to conjunction.
September records an event of noteworthy in
terest on its planetary annals, for on the 25th
occurs that long-anticipated and much-dreaded
epoch, the perihelion of Jupiter. Our giant
brother then reaches his nearest point to the
