Henry Kiddle. ex.snperintendent of

Henry Riddle, ex-superintendent OF
public schools in New York City, has
taken the platform in defense of spirit
ualism. He confessed that he was una
bic TO account for the opposition or pref
udice against it, and seemed to be con-
WINGED that the evidence in its favor was
sufficient 10 convince anyone One can
scarcely believe that lac is serious, when
he charges that the basis of the oppOsi-
ton TO spiritualism is educated human
conccit. His position brought him in
conflict with the scientists, and he as
sailed them with great heartiness. There
was large amount of personal matter
in his lecture. He paid his compliments
to the New York Observer, to Mr.. Moody
and those generally who have said hard
things of spiritualism. But all this was
done in so good spirit that Mr.. Riddle
cannot he classed with the herd of pro-
fessiOnal spiritualists who inlcst the
country and exhibit their legerdemain

There has been nothing more purely
ludicrous Tor long time than the frantic
horror of the Democratic editors over
the alleged cases of Republican bribery
in Maine. Nobody else considers the
ridiculous charges worth moments
serious attention, We. the Democratic
journals remark that this is n crime
which throws all preceding Irregular
ties in Maine into the background, and
unites the honest men of all parties in a
stern demand for the punishment of the
perpetratOr of this shameless act OF
bribery. IF he happens TO be n man OF
unusual prominence, SO much more inn

pie OF reform. How that will amuse the

The indications are in favor of better
prices for hogs, for the reason that from
November 1, 1879, to January /, 1880,
there were 2,57s,2I5 hogs packed against
4,l2i,S17 during the same period for 1873.
The average weight was also less, SO that
the amount of pork in market is moder.
ate, and brisk demand for packing may
be reasonably expected. 1t is evident
prices cannot fall, and very probable
that they will rise.

GARFIELn,s CoNnI1Cr

General Garfield was in Cleveland
when he was nominated for the senate,
having refused to go to Columbus to
conduct his canvass in person. When
the news reached him he expressed
deep qualification, but said he was not
surprised. Speaking to Leader re-
porter Of the reasons which kept him
at a distance he said: "Ibelievc in lift
ing political canvaSses Of this kind to "a
higher standard. OF course, there are
cases when it becomes necessary for a
candidate to appear in fight. If had
been personally assailcd it would have
been my duty to go, and l held myself
in readiness to go if it became necessary
in that way; but to make myself sole
itor for votes, Icould not do it. Iwould
rather have lost the place than secure it
in that way. Besides, l wished to keep
myself from becoming entangled with
pledges and promises, so that l might
go into the senate with my whole flee
dom and act with independence on all
questions"

THEY Don't FORGET OLD IRELAND
The Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank
of New York last year RENTED to
ireland in drafts of So and upwards
nearly 100000. The cashier of that
institution says that this sum does not
represent one-tenth, and probably not
one-twentieth of the whole amount sent
from America to Ireland during the
year 1879. The Irish laborers and
servant girls who come over to this
country are certainly not forgetful of the
friends who remain in the Green Isle.

BIG FARMS.


4 correspondent of the st. Paul Pho
neer Press, writing from Fargo, Dakota
Territory, SAYS: For the information of
the Atlantic Monthly philosopher and
the patent insides," giving currancy TO
his philosophy, l will state that there
are no big farms in Dakota, excepting
two. In this county of Cass, the banner
wheat district of Dakota, and soon to be
the first in the whole country, there arc
/ ,20O,OOO acres. In all of these acres
Oliver Dalrymple, the bonanza king and
wrecker of small farmers, has control of
three farms, the Alton farm This OWN and
the Cass and Cheney farm, or sixteen
thousand acres. His contract with the
Cass and Cheney runs ten years, and he
gets one-half of the whole property for
his time and brains. AS soon as the
land pays for itself, Dalrymplc gets his
half. His arrangement with the Gran
dins in Trail county is the same His
contract with them runs ten years and
before that time is up he expects to hold
in his own name 10000 acres, or one half
of the whole. This is all there is to the
bonanza farming in Dakota. Cass,
Cheney and Grandins are now residents.
The former as directors of the Northern
Pacific, were persuaded by Mr.. Power
to go into the farming business as an ad-
vertisement of the country and prove its
fertality. The GrandIns held Northern
Pacific preferred stock and much of
their land cost them forty cents an acre.
Mr.. Power Can give you an inside history
of his splendid endeavors to get all these
gentlemen to test the Red river valley as
a wheat country. The Grandins are coal
oil operators in Pennsylvania, and this
Embarrassment is only a side speculation.

THE SEAT OF WAR.
Extraordinary Scenes in aud abeut the

Extraordinary Scenes in and abeut the
Maine State House.
q Boston, Jan. l9.-The Herald's Augusta
special says: The scenes inside the state
house during the afternoon hours were
extraordinary. The granite walled old
structure resembled feudal castle awaiting
an attack. In every passage way from the
-ublerranean regions up to the roof were
policemen armed with revolvers. Police
men challenged the steps of the exceedingly
few persons who had by special favor gained
admittance. double guard protected the
governors rooms. The spac ous rotunda
below swarmed with men and when one
succeeded In getting past the guards at the
step gate he was not admitted to the state
house without scrutiny from the vigilant
special sentrles who tended the carefully
locked doors. The younger guardsmen on
duty did not hesitate to show their reyolvers
and were anticipating with youthful ardor
a hot contest with the fusionists' forces,
whom they believed were about to arrive
by railroad. \ special force of l20 or more
men was detailed to stand guard on the
balcony fronting State street. Just before
the arrival of the fusion legislature on the
sidewalk below this balcony force was
ordered into the hall of the house, where
they were drawn UP in military order and
divided into squads. Gen. Charles Mat:
tucks, Of Portland, was in command Of this
contingent, and he appointed Maj. A. Ben
son, of Portland, as his adju,ant.
When the guarde were anout to move out
to the balcony, Gen. Mattuck commanded
them to break step, fearing that the meas
ured tread of so many men would be heard
by the fusionists en- the sidewalk, 300 feet
distant, SO when the men went out they
broke step and succeeded in making no un.
necessary noise. They were all armed with
revolvers, and from their elevated point in
the lofty balcony could have guarded the
steps leading from the state house against
a force Of ten times their own number.
When the fusionists departed the vigilance
of the guard was not relaxed. Never in
the entire period Of this remarkable condi
tion Of affairs was the state house more
strictly guarded.
Gov. Davis has placed the state house il
charge of Maj. J. L. Nye, who had beer
Gen. Chamberlain's assistant adjutant gen
eral, although Mayor Nash was nominal,
in command Of the police force.
