The Republicans of Eaton weresso
dead sure that their party would be
successful in Maine last week, that
they imported a new brass cannon
here, prepared a lot of banners and
transparencies, filed several hundred
torch lamps, and made all the neces-
sary arrangements for a boom of the
cannon and a grand jubilee on Wed
nesday night last! We are informed
that on one of the banners was the
inscription: 10000 Republican ma
|jority in Maine!" What a fall my
countrymeu! Imagine the sore dis
appointment of these poor fellows,
when the news came on Tuesday
morning that Maine had actually
chopped" over against them! II
was a terrible shock. They couldn't
"thuse" a bit. They were orful sick
and blue. We pitied them, for they
looked so sad and detected. The
banners and other paraphernalia car
now be packed away as a dead loss
and after the November ground
swell, their wigwam can be used as
a winding sheet to wrap the corpse
of the whole thing and bury it ou'
of sight. There is no telling wher'
the opposition whirlwind, which
struck Maine, will stop. Hancocl
is leading the hosts of the Demo
cracy as he led the Union soldiers a
Gettysburg-to victory!

81. F. l., Second Corps writes as


follows to the Philadelphia Times:
In to-day's TINES Colonel Mosby-
says:"My command was just as much
a regulcr organized portion of the
Confederate Army as the St3newall
Brigade.11 That is no doubt his opin-
ion, but the unanimous opinion ofthe
old Army of the Potomac was quite
the reverse. The general feeling
which pervaded that grand old army
was that they were what they were
always termed: "Mosby's Guerillas."
This opinion was created by his mode
of warfare, which was the midnight
attack on wagon trains and the MUIR
der of unarmed teamsters and suffers 4;
the cowardly assassination ofthe lone
ly picket and vidette and the robbery
of the weary, f%ootsore straggler and
the sick and wounded in ambulance
trains. To what command did any
Union soldier belong that ever met
Mosby's cut-throats ifthe open field,
or in which one of the many pitched
battles fought on sVirginia's soil was
he ever known to be engaged? And
what soldier of the Army of tho Po-
tomac does not know that "Mosby's
Guerillas" were an un-uniformed mob
of murderers and thieves? 1t is also
a we'll known fact, among soldiers al
least, that of all men who fought in
the Confederate Army Mosby was
the most execratcd and the Army o.
the Potomac to q man, if they had
'lcaptured him, wonld have hung him
to the nearest tree, without even o.
much as a drum-head court martial.
This guerilla, who had murdered
footsore stragglers and the sick ant
wounded of ambulance trains, is nov

4 Wicked Woman.
HER HUSBAND AND BErRAYs HER sE- CRBT TO DETECTIVE.

Few women would have the enter prise and audacity. not to speak of the wickedness, to wreck railway train in order to get rid of an objectionable hus- band, and then sue the company for damages. But such @ woman has been found in the town of Evart, Mich., and has been arrested, together with her brothers, for committing the crime as long ago as last November. Her aame is Mrs. Nevins, and her brothers are Frank and William Rexford. Having obstructed the track of the Evart and Osceola Road, they threw the engine into the ditch, fatally injuring the en- gineer, John Nevins, the fireman, Peter Ross, and passenger, Charles Delude. The first two died in three hours, and the third in 28 hours. Mrs. Nevins having been on very bad terms with her husband, and having been heard to make threats against him, had been sus- pected, but nothing could be proved against her. Finally detective sought her out, pretended he wanted to marry her, and so gained her confidence. He proposed at first to aid her in her plan for obtaining damages from the railway company for the death of her husband, and next to marry her. Then he would get his life insured for some $50. 900 1; cut a hole in the ice on the lake suborn witness who would swear they had seen him drown; and rfter securing the in- surance money, they would enjoy them selves abroad. She was delighted with the scheme, saying that he was just the man she had been looking for. She suggested her brothers as the witnessess, who, for liberal sum, would make oath as to his drowning. As the detective expressed some fear that they might lack the courage to commit perjury, she told him, as proof of their nerve, that they had put the log on the railway which had caused the supposed accident. He assumed to be satisfied. They went to journey to Muskegon to get married, as he pretended; but he telegraphed the police to arrest them when they arrived there. The detective, John Malutte, having induced her on arrival to tell the whole story in room where witnesses were concealed, she was promptly taken into custody, and hel brothers soon after. It might be pru
 dent for persons intending to travel by rail in Michigan to inquire beforehand how the engineers of the trains they take are regarded by their wives. Mrs
 Nevins must be an agreeable woman tt set up GO operative housekeeping with

Some Divorce Statistics.

The statistics of divorce have been carefully collected and collated in the State of Massachusetts from the year 1870 to 1878. In these nineteen years the courts of the State have granted 7,233 divorces for forty-four different causes or specifications, though only five of these specifications being used as the grounds of application on the part of the men. The causes assigned may be conveniently classified as assertion, 3,O13; adultery, 2,949; intoxication, 452; extreme cruelty, 375; abusive treatment, 223; neglect to provide, 154 7; imprisonment, 50; impotency, IT.
 During the last half century many changes relating to the laws of divorce have been made in Massachusetts, gen. erally having the effect of making it easier of attainment. Nine distinct grounds are now enumerated by law, many of these having been added re- gently. Desertion was admitted as a cause in 1888, but was not allowed to any considerable extent until 1857. h. toxication and cruel and abusive treat ment was added in 1860. Extreme cru city and neglect to provide were not al- lowed as grounds for full divorce until 1857.
 The ratio of divorces to marriages in the State of Massachusetts was in the year 1860 only one to fifty-one. The ratio has varied largely in the success give years, but, with few exceptions, has increased until it reached in the year 1878 one in about twenty-one. The average for the whole period of nine teen years was little below one divorce to every thirty-fve marriages. I is cal culated that in Vermont, during the last ten years, the ratio has reached one to seventeen marriages.

An Irish Farm,
AN INTERESTING DESCRIPTION OF AN IRISH
 PEASANTS HoAfE.

Imagine a level country, with few trees and no forests, cut up into very small irregular fields by stone walls. It is of such land that Irish farms are composed. In most counties there is a great deal of boggy, swampy land, from which the farmers cut peat, which serves them as fuel.
 An Irish farm is generally about as large as an ordinary village green of New York or New England, say, from five to fifteen acres. In some districts, a farm of ten acres is considered rather large, and it is often the sole support of an immense family, y,-father, mother, ten children, and, perhaps, an old grand mother.
 Boston Common contains forty eight acres of land. It would make six good sized Irish farms, which would maintain fifty or sixty human beings, half-a- dozen COWS, horse or two, some don- keys and many pigs, besides paying about three hundred dollars year to the landlord, and something to the priest,
 In good seasons, all this teeming and swarmlng life can just be maintained. But suppose crop fails Suppose the peat cannot be dried Then what ? Why, hunger and starvation, of course. And, remember, there are no factories or other business to fall back upon. If the crops fail, all fails.
 If the crops of New England should be as poor this year as they were in Ire- land last year, it would be great ca- lamity, but very few persons would go hungry on that account. The fisheries, the shops, the factories, commerce. and the savings-banks would go on about as usual, and the people would buy their food from other States.
 Irish farms do not all lie along high road, as with us. Farms are behind farms and great number of them can only be reached by donkey path three or four feet wide. All the work is done by hand. The fields are dug, not plowed, and many farmers have no implements but a spade, hoe and a turf-cutter, and no vehicle except a small donkey-cart.
 The farmhouse is generally one story high, and very often consists of a single large room, with perhaps recess for a bed. It is commonly built of stone, with a roof of thatch, but many of the houses are made of earth, with hard floor of homemade cement. In this one room, the dairy-work is done, and all the family live, the pig coming in and going out as he pleases.
 Are the people then miserable and degraded2 By no means. When the harvest is good and the rent reasonable, they among the most cheerful peo- pie in Europe, and, in all the world, there is no land where the women are more modest and pure.
 The children are ruddy and robust The houses arc generally clean and neat The people enjoy life 50 much upor those little black, boggy farms, thai when they emigrate to America or Aus tralia, they sometimes almost die ot homeslckness.
 In many instances, poor Irish gir among us never goes to bed for siz months after leaving home, without cry ing little for the old house of muc and thatch, and the old folks within 1t -Youth's Companion.

|" "Vaseline."

4 new product made from petroleum is 8 jelly called Vaseline," which is of the greatest utility in medicine, phar- macy and for toilet use. Physicians all over the world have discovered its great value in the treatment of wounds, burns, skin diseases, rheumatism, catarrh and every ailment where Eniment is need- ed, and in almost every hospital in America and Europe this substance is now in constant use, and is acknowl. edged not only to be the best treatment, but also one of the most important re. cent additions to medicine. 1t is put up in bottles by the Ohesebrough Manu. featuring O., of New York, and as a family remedy, it is without doubt the best in use. Its healing and pain allay- ing qualities being superior to those of any known substance, while the speedy relief it affords for piles and chilblaina is almost magical. As an emollient. Vaseline is way ahead of anything else, as it renders the skin smooth, soft and clear, and our lady friends will find it not only tho best, but perhaps the sole substance which will really preserve and restore to the complexion the hues of youth, making the cheek like velvet and the skin like satin. The complex ion powders in common use, are, as 6 rule, injurious to the skin and destruc- tive of any complexion, while Vaseline is entirely healthful and beneficial There is also made "Pomade Vase line," which is said to be of great bene' at to the hair, keeping it soft and glos sy, preventing and curing dandruff, and keeping the scalp healthful and frs' from disease, and from those objection able creatures which sometimes find { dwelling there. Numberless instance are cited of how by the use of this DO made thin and falling hair has resumed 8 vigorous growth. Both the pur Vaseline and the pomade are put up il twenty-five cent bottles and are to b
 found at all first-class druggists, and w advise our readers to make trial of thi wonderful substance, and we think the,
 will find it's claims to merit not in th
 least exaggerated. d.-SWnday Times.
