Important changes in the military affairs
of Maine are now being considered in the
Adjutant Generals Office. The Androscoggin
Light Artillery was formerly the only COM
pany in the State, but regular battery with
three sections-one in Lewiston, one in
Portland and one in Bangor-is now being
organized orders to that effect having been
issued. Two guns only, now remain in
Lewiston, in charge of Capt. Meneally. An
entire reorganization of the Maine militia is
contemplated, and among the proposals being
considered, is one to form two regiments, one
east and one west of the KenneDec river No
decision on the matter has been reached,
Many military men are taking great interest
in the matter, and are trying to effect this ar
rangement. The style of the new uniform,
which will probably be adopted by the State
for the militia, is almost precisely similar to
the dress uniform of the Auburn Light Infan-
try the coat is exactly the same, the pants
simply shade lighter, and the cap slightly
different. There is some talk of forming an
other company in Auburn.

Fifty thousand marbles, more or less, have
been purchased by the Augusta dealers for
the Juvenile trade this season. The one cent
of the small boy buys four or FIVE ''taws,"
and marbles cost the importer only about 40
cents per thousand. Marbles come from
Germany, where they are manufactured in
large quantities, and where the game is even
more popular than here. The argillaceous
stone from which they are made, is cut into
small square dies which are rounded and pol
ished in a mill of hard stones. The square
pieces are roughed out by small children and
old men too infrm for more arduous work
and are carried to the manufacturer, who
pays them three or four cents per hundred
for the square bits of soft rock. The cost of
making marbles is therefore next to nothing
Saxony furnishes nearly all the toy marbles
that are used by the children of the world.

The Next congress.

N.Y. Herald, 3D.
In the present house there are 149
democrats, 100 republicans, seven
democratic and FIVE republican nation
ais, and two greenbackers, pure and
simple. Total, 593 members. Our
returns up to an early hour this morn
ing do not enable US to give definite
details of the next house, but they
suffice to show that the republicans
have regained control of the house
with a working majority. They will
probably have at least l55 members
to 1873 democrats.
The present senate has fortytwo
democrats, thirty.three republicans
and an independent. OF the demo-
cratic seats falling vacant the next
4th of March those of Senators Eaton,
of Connecticut, Mcdonald, of Indi-
ana, Randolph, Of New Jersey, Ker-
nan, Of New York, Thurman, Of Ohio,
and Wallace Of Pennsylvania, will be
filled this winter with republicans
six in all, which will give the repub

six.

THANKSGIVING ANN POLTTICs.

We would remind our democratic
brethren that thanksgiving day will
come this year on Thursday, the 25th
of November. We are little sore yet
over the result of last Tuesdays elec-
ton, but our folks can soon get over
that and perhaps look around and find
a great deal to he thankful for still.
Those Of us who expected to be post
masters, mail agents, deputy mar
shalls or get nice little appointments
at Washington, or to go abroad awhile
will not die of old age in the next
four years. Those who expected no
offices or particular personal benefit,
will also find good deal to be thank
ful for. Our party will be relieved Of
the responsibility of running the
national government. All this care
and yexation will devolve upon Mr..
Garfield, VIM. r. Moore, and such
patriots. 1t is likely that they will
make some big blunders as soon as
they get full swing, and if so they viii
hear of it. In the nature of things
there must be two parties under
government like ours -one to hold the
offices, and the other to watch them.
This idea may not come up to the
high standard Of some writer's on po-
litical economy, but it is a living prac-
tical fact, nevertheless Minorities
may be greedy and hungry, but they
are vigilant. They are far removed
from temptations and opportunities to
do wrong, even if naturally so in
clined. Hence, minority par
ties can not be charged with
corruption or malfeasance in Of
fee or, abuse of power.
Minorities are essential to the security
and perpetuity of our entire fabric and
system of government. Without them
the country could not be saved even
by going through the form of an elee-
tion once every four years. The dem
ocratic party has been assigned the
honorable post of minority. just
when it will be able TO exchange posi-
tions with the other party seems a lit
tie uncertain at present. All this
is very sad. We are not able to offer
as yet any good advice usually such a
cheap and abundant commodity. We
do not know but what it would be a
good idea to keep out of national poll
tics for few seasons and see if the
republicans will not fall out
among themselves. For all the
good we have DONE we might as we'll
have kept out for the last twelve
years. One thing we can do, we can
hoe cotton and make plenty of hog
and hominy. Let US stick to that at
all hazards, and look closely after our
local and private affairs, and by the
the 25th of November let us become
reconciled to. this Waterloo busi-
ness and try to take philosophic
and cheerful view of it.
