IN GENERAL.

Newport is to have live Prince this
summer. The London papers announc,
that II. r. H. Prince Leopold, twenty-seyer
years Of age, unmarried, after visiting his
sister, Princess Louise, In Canada, will
pass a few weeks at Newport, r. /.
Dental authorities estimate that half u
ton Of pure gold is used every year in I'LL
ing teeth In this country, costing half Q
million dollars, besides about four times as
much cheaper material, as silver and plat
ina, worth Sl00, 600 more. Then there are
made every year about 5000, 900 artificial
teeth mounted on gold, platina or rubber.
This indicates that as people we take
pretty good care of the teeth, yet the dent
lists say that not half the people who need
it avail themselves Of their services.
The story OF mouse being hung by a
spider at Fort Wayne, recently, Is outd0ne
by similar performance witnessed some
years ago in Albion, N. Y. A young gar
ter snake. six or seven inches long, was
discovered under an old counter, partially
suspended By spiders web. In few
hours 1t was noticed that the snake was
being gradually lifted from the floor.
Whenever he struggled the spider could
be seen darting about from line to line, ev-
identity drawing up the slack. The opera
ton continued till the reptile was dangling
IN the air.

LAST DEFENCE" IN LISBON AND
WEBSTER.

| w LIDO TN.
The "last defen Sc" OF Gov. Garcelon and
Council, which appeared in the Sunday
Globe, has adopted the "glIt;ering general.
tiles plan OF defending their counting out
operations. For example, i'm defending
their rejection OF the returns Of Lisbon
and Webster, in order to count out Thorn.
a. rep and certificate Beal (Fusion)
they now simply say:
| 1.-THE evidence also shows that the returns
from the towns OF Jay, Lisbon. Webster and
Farmipgton were not made as required by the
Constitution, and they were rejected
The supreme Court has held (vol. 81. page $50
that the municipal officers must sign returns
with their own hands or make their marks.
otherwise the returns must be rejected The
| returns from New sharon were defective In
this particular"
This Is the "last" defence In those cases,
and its merit seems to be In dropping all
the specific reasons heretofore given. and
setting up the general defeuce, so far as
Lisbon and Webster are concerned, that
their returns were not made as required
by law" We are purposely given no light
on the particulars In which they were not
made as required by lew, s,Eply for the
reason that every possible allegation has
been upset the moment II has been suggest
ed, and now nothing remains for q ''last
defence" except to shout constitution and
laws"
As matter Of fact the repors OF the
Com mittee OF the Council was first made
giving the votes or Lisbon and Webster
to Thomas, aud placing Thomas in the
list OF elected members. The final tabula.
ton shows this; and the figures against
Lisbon and Webster, and the anne of Mr..
Thomas, are scratched out so bgIslingly
that they can be traced GO they originally
stood,
In the the next place, at the last moment,
the change was ordered by q bare majority
OF the council, on the plea tha: ihe names
or the majority OF the selectmen OF each
town were not written by their own hands.
Tle next day, the selectmeu OF both towns
all came before the Council. and testified
that they each signed their names ipdiyId-
ually, and majority or them In omen town
meeting, where the retgyus were sealed.
Finding that |. would not do to charge
fprserI, the Governor and Council. instead
OF correcting the wrong. set I'D new ex-
cuse in their written report, to the effect
that the returns Of Lisbon and Webster
were not signed In open town meetine-au
allegation contrary to tho evidence, and
contrary to the first excuse. Subsequently
Gov. Garcelon stated these returns were
rejected because the ''rscorY was not
made In open town meeting; and now the
''final defence" alleges that 1t was because
'there was evidence that the returns were
not made as required by Law" when the eyi.
dence OF CLERKS ana selectmen went to
sgow that they were made out properly.
This Is what the Argus calls conclusive
s'defence?"

TO oyerestimate the value Of a certain
weight of gold when expressed in pounds
avoirdupois. A ton OF gold looks like q
mass of almost inestimable value, but 1t Is
actually worth only about half million.
The local reporter of a Newark paper
recently told how two townsmen brought
home from the West 81 500, 900 in gold, and
thus saved 81, 800 exchange. As gold is
usually put up in bags Of 5000 each,
weighing 20 pounds, a million aId \ nall
would fill 500 bags, and weigh three tons.
In "Andre Fortier," a play produced at the
Boston Theatre some time ago, Sardou,
the author, made two thieves load up their
pockets with $500, 900 in gold dust, leaa
with their burden frcn g window and cas-
lily escape pursuit. The nature Of the feat
will be appreciated when 1t Is considered
that this amount Of gold would weigh some
200 pounds, or GOO TO each robber.
