The announcement that the tenth anniver- sary of the settling of the Swedish colony in Maine will be celebrated to-day gives many their first knowledge that such colony ists. In 1870 the desirabilty of Scandinavian immigration having been discussed in the Maine Legislature, a commission appoint
 ed Ito ascertain what measures, if any, should be adopted by the State to induce settlements upon it's unpeopled townships. :" The commis- sion made tour of Aroostook county and if nally reported in favor of recruiting colony of Swedes in Sweden, transporting them to Maine, and permanently settling them on the wild lands of the State. The report pro- vided that an agent should go to Sweden, collect the Swedes, bring them across the wa ter and locate them Township No. 1,
 Range of the States lands. Only such as could pay their own passage from Sweden to Maine were to be received and on their arri
 val in Maine each head of family was to be given one hundred acres of land. On the 23rd of March, 1870, the Legislature passed an act authorizing the experiment to be tried, and just four months later to day, Hon. w. w. Thomas, ir, arrived in Northern Maine with d
 and on their arrival upon their reser vation, which was at once christened New Sweden, they were heartily welcomed by two hundred Americans, who escorted them to the five fog cabins which had been hastily built for them. This was ten years ago. To-day there are -517 Swedes in New Sweden, 21O in Wood land, p in Caribou and 24 in Perham, making 776 in the colony. Though located in four townships, the colony forms one solid block. These Swedes now own farms and buildings valued at $63, ,45O. Their farm productions in 1879 were valued at $14,6O4. They have 1882 acres of improved land. They raised in 1879 230O0 bushels of potatoes, 6,0O1 bushels of oats, 4,967 bushels of rye, |, ,16S bushels of wheat. They own 154 horses, 82 oxen, 264 COWS, 177 calves and 295 sheep. Besides the TIC Swedes in the colony it is be- ieved there are 25O more scattered over Aroos- took County, and about LOGO in other parts of the State, all of whom have been drawn to Maine by the representations of the original colonists. These Swedes a hard-worklng, honest and always industrious people, and, as mia& be expected from this description of them, invariably vote the Republican ticket.

AN0THERLE NAILED.

We called attention yesterday to the fact that Justice Swayne of the United States Supreme Court never said in an opinion de- Gverd by him: ''The agreement with Gen. Garfield member of Congress, to pay him $5, 1000 as contingent fee for procuring a contract which was itself made to depend upon>a future appropriation by Congress, which appropriation could only come from the committee of which he was the chair can cover, against the plainest principles of public policy" This paragraph is now go- ing the rounds of the Democratic papers, and forms the foundation of elaborate attacks upon General Garfield No such language ever used by Justice Swayne on the bench or elsewhere and he never had an op- portunity to deliver a judicial opinion upon the matter, because the De Golyer case was never taken before the Supreme Court. A prominent Democrat, ex-Senator Doolittle, has published the following card in Washing ton;
 A serious error has been made by some newspapers in supposing that the DeGolyer case ever went to the Supreme Court, or that Justice Swayne used the language attributed to him in commenting upon it. In the brief submitted to Judge Farwen in the Circuit Court here, another case-Burke against Child decided in the Supreme Court, was cited and Justice Swaynes opinion stated. But the mistake has been this, that a part of the Ian guage of the brief which follows the citation of the case of Burke vs. Child is attributed to Justice Swayne, language which he never used, for the case was never before him, and as was the counsel who submitted the brief, 1t is just to General Garfield, to Justice Swayne and to myself that should at once correct this mistake.
 This card will of course appear in all the Democratic papess which have made the al- legged extract from Justice Swayne's alleged opinion so conspicuous. The Register is going to publish 1t as soon as 1t has room.

Concerning Fish and Fi.hing.


 Mention was recently made of the carp in some of the streams flowing into the Hudson. Two years ago 120 of these fish were brought to Washington, and have multiplied so fast that they now number 10000. One of these fish weighing four or five pounds lays 4OO,- 900 or 500, 900 eggs, s,and one of 15 poundf as many as 1,50O, GOO. They will thrive in any pond or ditch, and as they grow rapidly and are fond of vegetarian diet they are probably destined to be introduced into most of our rivers. In cold climates they become torpid during the winter and protect them selves from freezing by lying in groups ot from fifty to hundred in the muddy bot toms of the stream. new bait is said tc have been discovered which is said to be per fectly irresistible to all fresh-water fish It is called Chinese bait ching, and is made from rotten gladwin. Fish rush in shoals for 90 yards or more when they smell this tempt ing morsel, and an English journal contains an advertisement of it headed, ''A bushel of fish for 13 stamps" (about 27 cents.) It looks as If the Chinese must go if we want to pre- vent the total extirpation of the fnny tribe in our rivers. No government fish breeding establishment can possibly supply enough game for the almond-eyed poacher.

So it will be observed that New Haven has never excelled it's absolute growth during the last ten years except in two decades, that from 1850 to 1860, and that from 1860 to 1870, while it has never increased by so small a percentage of it's population at the begin ming of any decade as in the last, except in the two decades, that from 1790 to 1S00- .15; and that from 1910 to 1S20-.21 the latter the time of the last war with Great Britain.
 Your statement this morning of IS per cent as the growth for the last ten years is below the truth, but the small percentage of 24 per cent even accounts in part for your statement that by the report of the builders there has never been so small an amount of building in New Haven as in the last six since 1S43.

His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, render ing treatment so effectual that relief is expe- rienced at once, and permanent cures are of ten effected in the most stubborn and aggra- vated cases; and it is one of the happy fea- lures of his method that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will inva- cure, and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present 8 reasonable chance for success, while those who place themselves under Dr. LighthilTs professional eft guaranteed by science, skill, and an ex- tensive experience.

A Happy Experience.

(From the Journal and Courier, July 1O.)
 We take pleasure in presenting to our read CTS the following card from MT. T. M Cox an old resident of New Haven, and a gentle man highly respected and widely known in our business and social circles. The state ment of his happy experience of Dr. Light hills treatment is full of interest and will be deservedly accepted by our community with the utmost confidence Testimony of this nature and character reflects great credit on Dr. Lighthills ability and skill, and cannot fail to establish him in public confidence.
 NEW HAVEN, July 9.
 It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Iighthill and the successful results of his treatment. For the past thirty six years had been troubled with catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swa1- lowing and breathing. Of late years it at- tackled my hearing, impairing it to eonsid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in creasing upon me it subjected ne to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. LighthilPs pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care, and happily did so. Dr. Light hill effectually removed the catarrhal con- plaint and all it's attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness. know Dr. Lighthill's repu- tation is so well known that any recommen- dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but I feel like discharging duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lie statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthilrs efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and I feel assured that few min utes' conversation with Dr. Lightnill will con- vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is a master of his profession. e

He laughs best who laughs last, and Agri- cultural Commissioner Le Due, who has been much ridiculed for his efforts to encourage tea and suG GS production in this country, seems likely to have the last laugh. Mir. Jackson, who has over thirty-five thousand tea plants on his farm near Savannah Georgia, has demonstrated that so far as tea is con- cerned Mir. Le Due is correct After several years experimenting, he has raised fine crop of English breakfast tea, the samples of which were so satisfactory to a leading Eng fish tea house that an offer was made for the entire crop at figures which give the grower profit of 300 per cent. He believes he has demonstrated the fact that tea be successfully grown and that in a few years southeastern Georgia can raise tea enough to supply all the tea drinkers of the United States. Meantime, the farmers of Minnesota and other Western States sat isfied that MT. LeDuc's theories in relation to the profitable production of sugar from sor- ghum correct, and some of them are al- ready reaping golden harvest. The com missioner thinks that 1t is only question of a short time when capitalists will begin to see the immense profits to be realized from tea raising, and in a few years he expects that the United States will be producing as much tea and sugar as may be needed for home consumption.

It has been supposed that the people of the United States could give the English points in the free love and divorce busi- ness, but a case now in the English Divorce Court goes decidedly against this supposition. The lady plaintiff appeared as respondent in the Divorce Court fifteen months after her marriage and judgment was given against her A few months afterwards she married the man who appeared as correspondent. Recently she appeared in the same court, this time as plaintiff, and, her husband having little or no defence to offer, she obtained her decree nisi. Now that the application has been made to render the decree absolute the Queens Proctor intervenes to hinder the pleasant little arrangement, for it appears that one of the witnesses is only waiting for the court to release the lady from her present matrimonial ties, in order that he may marry her himself This witness is indeed exonera- ted from guilt by the verdict of the jury, but there is another gentleman, who was not called as a witness, against whom judgment was given, and according to the evidence of the plaintiff herself, this person was engaged to marry young lady who was at that time the wife of a noble lord
