A large spot, which a very keen eye
might be able to distinguish without
other assistance than screen of
smoked glass, is now visible near tho
eastcrn cdge of the SUMS disk. Any
good spyglass will show it we'll, but
care should be taken to protect tho eyo
with a deeply coforcd glass held firmly
against the cycpiccc. a smol<cd-glass
screen gives Il pleasant view, but Is
dangerous because tho sooty deposit is
apt to get rubbed Oft. Tho combinn-
tion of green glass with IL red ono Is
best, as IL allows little heat to reach
tho eye, ana shows the suns disk FREQ
from annoying tliscoloration. An as
tronomical telescope shows, in addi-
ton to the great spot, scattered,
double cluster Of small spots between
it and the edge. The disk Is marked,
in tho ncighborhood of tho spots, with
the bright ridges called racul,c, which
look like crinklcd veins Of light on the
surface Of tho sun. The great spot is
II very perfect specimen Of its class, tho
vast, cuvcrnous hole in tho centre,
large enough probably for tho earth to
drop through, and with broken and
Jagged edges, looking almost black,
with slight tinge of purple. Near
one end II vein of light projects partly
across tho gulf, and beyond that tho
black centre breaks through the whitisil
border. The pcuutnbrh surrounding
tho black portion is broad aud well
marked, of Il grayish color, and bor-
dcrcd with lighter strcaks.

It will be seen that the benefits
which would result from the plan we
suggest would be almost innumer-
able and in all cases, we confidently
affirm, real. 1t would not be catch
ing at . shadow in the nope OF
grasping something real, as in the
Maine count, or of demonstrating
an abstruse theory which might go
back upon us, at the suspicious mo-
msnt, as the carbon points did upon
poor Edison. It could not, from
the nature Of things, be unpopular;
for everybody would be supplied
with copious draughts from the ap-
proved fountain Of knowledge. with.
out money and without price.
The deeper VIC delve in this sub
ject the richer becomes the prospect,
and we believe that We have already
unearthed some veritable nuggets of
thought, which, when tried in the
crucible will be found to be pure
ore. When. in the course Of time,
some lucky individual incorporates
these ideas into platform, and runs
for President upon that popular is
sue and is finally elected by the Su-
preme Court, it will then be recog-
nized as profound craftsmanship.
But the fact that inventors always
die poor and great discoveries sell
dom reap the reward of their labors,
admenishes US to expect no personal
benefit from this calculation of a
plan to secure a strong government.
We can only expect to feel the quiet
satisfaction resulting from recog-
nized, through unrewarded, merit,
and with this we shall be content.

The Republicans in Maine after
taking forcible possession of the
State House, found the safe in tho
Secretarys Office locked. This they
at once presumed to be the hiding
place of the re turns, the Great Seal,
and other important levers essentials
for the proper management of the
machinery of State. Locksmiths
were set at work and labored all day
aud night on the safe. At last it
was opened, and like Mother Hub
bard's Cupboard found bare; not
even a bone of contention to quarrel
over was found there! Since then
they have been diligently searching
for the individual who has q spare
State Seal somewhere about his
clothes. But that was good idea
of locking the safe. 1t at least sus-
tained hope for a time.

A MIRACULOUS escape of q famil,

A MIRACULOUS escape of a family
near Goldendale, during the hurri-

in the Bee. 1t appears that all the
members of the family (named
Harkness) were ill and confined to
their beds, when the storm of
Black Friday" broke over the
house. 1t increased in fury until
q large pine tree four feet in diam
eter, which stood near, was up
rooted and fell with q fearful crash
directly across the house, crushing
it to the ground and burying the in
mates beneath the ruins. In short
time the neighbors arrived and com.
menced the work of clearing away
the wreck confidently expecting to
find them all crushed beyond recog-
milton. They were overjoyed as
they released them one by one to
find that mono of them had receiv ed
a single scratch. They were re-
moved to a neighbours house and
we'll provided for. The stove and
almost every article of furniture in
the house was broken to pieces.

A Natural Result.

"A AN0VuA " aSOCAuVe
The farce in Maine goes on. The
Supreme Court has not failed the Re.
publican party as political machine,
and the organization of the Legisla-
ture elected son the face Of the re.
turns" has been declared illegal and
void. Gen. Chamberlain, has under
this ruling recognized Davis, the
Governor elected by The Republi.
can Legislature. This body has
possession of the State House, which
is under a strong guard. and the
" Fusionists," kept by force from as.
sembling in the place provided by
law, hold their daily sessions in
Union Hall. The first of these was
held on the sidewalk fronting the
Capitol. Those at q distance from
the scene of strife cannot but be i'm.
pressed with the ludicrous aspect Of
affairs at frequent intervals, the
peurile efforts of leading men on
both sides to over-reach one another,
and the utter Indifference of the
people for securing a vindication Of
once cherished principles which con-
stitute the very corner.s stone of the
fabric OF free Government.
It seems that SUCCESS of the cleo.
toral fraud has demoralized popular
sentiment and almost dethroned
American ideas. When the Judi.
ciary can be made mere puppets to
bow at the will of corrupt party lead
ers the main hope for the stability OF
our form of Government is gone. It
shows plainly the results which at
tend the very first departure from
the plain principles Of constitutional
government. If these guarantees
are respected and sustained by the
popular will, no government can be
stronger; if they are violated with
impunity, step has been taken to-
wards anarchy, and the progress is
smooth and rapid towards impend-
ing ruin. If the Government does
not derive its vitality from the civil
law, it is subject to all the passions
and dire influences which govern
tho law of physical force.
We contend that the electoral
count has done more to unhinge
American ideas, more to prostitute
national pride, more to place us in
the wake of despotic governments,
than all the errors and imperfections
discovered in the one hundred
years of it's existence. The essential
element of free government springs
from the hearts of the people and
when this fountain-head is polluted
we cannot expect the flowing stream
to he pure or nourishing. The strife
in Maine is but one result of the
terrible blunder made in creating the
Electoral Commission.
