THE Boston Herald applauds the exhi-
bitiOn of the Maine supreme court i'll re-
versing its own judgment where its par
tisan interests are served by conflicting
interpretations of the law. Two years

Names Republican judges gravely said ::
- 1t is to he regretted that votes are lost
by the negligence of town officers, but
the obvious remedy is to choose such as
know their duty, and. knowing it, will
perform it, Now when they fatty re-
verse themselves by giving out the doc
trine that, g no person is to be deprived
of his position because of the dereliction
of those whose duty it was to send i'll the
rcturns,'' the Boston Herald under
takes to cOndonc their inconsistent and
partisan action with the sophism,
EcOurtS are liable to favor technical
constructions in single cases, but, where
the effect is to defeat the will of the pco-
pie, they are forced to look deeper to find
essential equity" This may do to tell to
the marines, but the common sense of
the people of the country will put this
construction upon their remarkable per
formance Republican courts are GER
tain to favor technical construction in
cases where Republican interests are sub
served by so doing, but where the effect
is to accrue to the advantage of their pO
litical opponents, they can go behind tht

An eminent Drinkcr."

For the INTELLIGENCER.
1t is said-nay, it is absolutely stated on
the most unqucstioned and unqucstionable
authority-that a young lady in the city of
Detroit, Michigan, one day last week,
swallowed six millions of living animals,
and it never "phased'' her. 1t seems i'll
credible, but it is fact. An analytical
commission "sat on the case '.ard pro
nounced the following verdict:
The subscribers, "whOse names are

port that Miss Polly Vanderslice did swa[

Those are ''jawbreaking names, but
they represent perfectly organized living
animals, possessing the power to appro-
pirate aliment, of locomotion and the per
pctuation of their species. If any impa-
tient reader is dissatisfied with these
names let him translate them into his YER
nacular, and see how much easier he could
recognize these animals under an English
or 4 German name, than he can under their
Greek and Latin names. Perhaps we
ought to apprisc the reader of the fact
that these little animals, or animalcules,
are entirely invisible to the naked eye, and
that the whole ''batch'' of six millions
wouldn't keep grasshopper from starv-
ing for a single day. A single drop of
water would form an ample bathing pond
for ten thousand of them. Their sphere
of knowledge must necessarily be very
small, but within that sphere they know
as we'll what to do as the most highly cul-
tured man does within the boundaries of
his sphere. The microscope has revealed
an invisible flora and fauna immensely
greater in numbers than that which is visi-
bic to the naked eye. Talk of ''jewel
screw" that requires $50, 400 to weigh a
pound Troy weight, produced by mcchan-
ical genius, and it sinks into insignificance
when compared with the minute Mechan-
ism of nature. Note the above bill OF fare
ye cold water drinkers, and reflect that
that is what you are "gobbling up a
dozen times day. SAM.

THIS is the way the machine runs in
Philadelphia. Passmcre take notice. Forty
four out of the forty-six delegates to the
Republican state convention held caucus
last evening, presided over by Christian
Kneass, with Mr. William r. Reed as secre-
tary. 1t was unanimously agreed upon,
on motion of Mr.. Mouat, to vote for Mr.
James McManes as delegate at large to the
national convention. Mr.. Edwin Il. Ben
son was named and agreed upon as eIector
at large, A resolution was adopted unan-
mously indorsing Hon. John Lemon, of
| Blair county. as the candidate for auditor
general.
THERE is not much risk in making the
prediction that the United States govern
ment will never get single cent Of the
one million eight hundred thousand dol
lars the late Mr.. Lewis beIueathed toward
the payment of the national debt. For
months and months the lawyers have been
wranslinS over the affair, compiling vol
umes upon volumes of testimony and run
ming up bills that by this time must have
made pretty big hole in the estate of
the deceased millionaire. To report and
print the sO-called evidence has cost the
newspapers alone small fortune, and
now the result of it all is that the alleged
wife Of deceased has withdrawn from the
legal struggle, leaving to others the task
Of asserting their claim to the immense
property. Lewis died in blissful ignorance
of either wife or kinsmen.
"a New YORK Republican politician y
announces that careful canvass Of the
state shows that if Mr. Conkling attempts
to carry the delegation to the national
convention he will be defeated in every
Assembly district of the state. lie says
that the friends of Sherman and Blaine
are thoroughly organized and arc united
for the purpose of defeating Grant and /;
third term. 1t would be improper to state
the character of the organization or any Of
it's details, but it is fact that it exist:
and that good many very substantial
men arc behind it. The gentlemen who i.
authority for this statement is connected
with the organization, and says that thu
movement was inaugurated without con
sultation either with Blaine or Sherman
but to unite all opposition to third term
This he thinks is overwhelming, and tina

vcntiOn will be divided between those tw'

The Physical Paradox.

It has been said that ''the blood is the source of life" It is as truly the source of disease and death. No life, that is to say, no healthy tissue can be generated from impure blood, no organ of the body can normally per form it's functions when supplied with i'm pure blood. The fluid that should carry life and health t" every part, carries only weak ness and disease Blood is the source of life, only when it is pure. Ii it becomes diseased, it must be cleansed by proper medication, else every pulsatiou of the human heart sends wave of disease through the system. To cleanse the blood ot all impurities, use Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery and Pleas ant Purgative Pellets, the most effectual altera- tive, tonic, and cathartic remedies yet discov- cred.

DEFERRED LETTERS.
woODBURY.

In your last issue, your valued Washington correspondent remarks in his article:- Goth
 ren's. history of Ancient Woodbury, Vol. 3, is doubtless valuable work. and yet it is SO in- complete, that it gives us only an inkling of what most want to know" Now fully be- lieve that the correspondent did not really mean to disparage the work, but to the strang- CT it will read like sharp criticism, and would deter any one so understanding It, from buying, or trusting the work. Besides, the statement is not true. It was intended to give every recorded item of the records containing the births, marriages and deaths in the ancient town. The book does that, and contains more than 5000 items collected from old family bibles, and other authentic sources, outside the public records, some B 900 items and more than 100, 900 names Ill all. It contains all there is on the records, and all those items in addition. And yet the correspondent Jauntily says that the work IS ESQ incomplete" etc, this is both unjust and damaging. It was not proposed by the author to create rec ords, but to copy them. If the correspondent had sad merely that the toacn records-not Cothrens history-were incomplete as he does later in his article it would have been literally correct. It is undoubtedly true, that not one third of the births, marriages, and deaths, have ever been recorded But, how is Cothren's history to blame for that? He could not G1egte the records, and it has been the work of leisure hours for more than thirty years, to collect the items embodied in Vol. B. And yetthe remark is frequently heard :-"Oh it is so full of errors. My parents marriage is not in it, my own birth is not in it, and the author has known me for years!" Well, this is not the error of the book It is you own negligence, that you did not get your family items recorded, that the author might have copied them. Both Mir. Baker, and MT. Tut tie, referred to, have copies of Vol 3, and have been in correspondence with me. have referred them to your correspondent, and oth- CTS, to see if they knew any thing more about their 0oon tanaily name than the book does. If they do, they will impart it, and thus confer favor, no doubt upon thelr correspondents.
