treasury for the South" On smaller transpar-
encies were the following:-"Spec payments

DASTARDLY OUTRAGE.
Southern Methods in Northern Politics.

oouInern MetnOcS IN Northern Politics.
Last night as the Republican campaign
clubs were returning from Deering they were
assailed with volleys of stones, bricks, clubs
and other Democratic missiles Several men,
bers of the companies were struck by stones
and quite severely hurt One of the Pioneers
was so badly injured as to be unconscious for
long time.
Before the clubs left Lancaster Hall they re-
ceived information that the Democrats of this
city had enlisted and thoroughly organized
large gang of plug-uglies and bruisers to go out
to Deering and lie in ambush, and at a suita-
Bile time begin operations.
This crew of miscreants and Democratic
hirelings waited until the clubs were ON their
way home before they opened the dastardly
assault. Just after passing Capt Coyle's a
storm OF stones and other favorite Democratic
prolectiles began, to whistle around the clubs
Judging from the severity of the charge there
must have been a large number of the roughs
scattered along the line of the road from

State, and that refer with confidence and pi ide

Resolued, That whereas the Republican party of
Maine having been openly and avowedly in favor
of prohibtory laws for the suppression of the dram
shop; being committed to the policy of prohibition
by resolutions adopted in State conventions bv the
open declarations and professions of its leading men
and high officials; by giving to the people of the
State all the prohbitory laws passed since the form
alton of the party and being the only established
political party in Maine which has espoused the
cause of temperance and prohibition; and having
moreover received the support and cooperation Of
the large body of earnest temperance men of the
State; we therefore expect of the chief executive
of the State and all other officials elevated to office
by the Republican party a firm and uniform adher-
ence to the established principles and policy of the
party in this respect, and faithful and efficient en-
forcement of our prohibitory laws by all the an
thority and force at their command.
Resolved, That any independent nomination at

Arctic Fruit.
~ =, -

~
The uccessfulexpedition Of Professor
Nordenskjold has proved that the shores
of the Arctic Sea are not so ihhospi table
as has been generally supposed. Per
haps the most interesting Of the minor
discoveries made by the learned explo-
rer is the finding of a new remedy
against that dread of all navigators,
and the particular scourge of Arctic
expeditions = namely, scuryy. 1t ap-
pears that there was not a single case OF
this disease during the whole voyage,
and this remarkable fact is due not to
the employment Of lime-juice and other
anti-scorbutics in ordinary use, but TO
the use Of curious little berry, hith-
erto unreeognized, produced by a plant
which finds an tephemeral existence in
the snow and ice during the short Arc
tic summer. The berries are found in
great abundance, and are said to be a
favorite fruit with some Of the natives
Of the great ice world. It's flavor re-
sembles that Of the raspberry, but is
more acid. The mode. Of preparation
adopted on the voyage of the Vega was
to dry the berries, and then to preserve
them In the milk of the reindeer, which
was then allowed to freeze. In this
state the fruit can be preserved for an
indefinite period. z l''.a UT

WOman's True source of strength.
Nineteenth Century.1


The strength of women lies in their
heart. 1t shows itself in their strong
love and instructive perception of right
and wrong. Intellectual courage is rare
ly one Of their virtues. As a rule, they
are inclined to be restless and excitable,
allowing their judgments and actions to
be swayed by quick emotions of all kinds,
but above all, it is in their hopefulness
and their endurance that they find their
chief power. Who is the last person to
give up hope in the case of a member of
the family who has apparently gone alto
gether to the bad? What mother or Sis
ter with deep and ardent love for such
will ever cease to cherish hope or to en-
dure suffering on their account?
The patience Of women is proverbial,
and their whole lives are bound up in
their affections. Few people will deny
that love in one form or. another makes
up the beauty of life to woman. It
enters into all she does. Any work out
side her immediate circle is undertaken
most often from pure desire to help some
one else to know something of the mys-
terious happiness Of love. Unlike men,
women chiefly look for personal inter
course with those for whom they are work.
ing. If their interest lies among the poor
they are desirous of sympathetic per.
sonal acquaintance with them; and very
little good work of lasting kind has
been done by women without their owr
influence OF love being brought to beal
on the individual case. 7'
Without dwelling on the greater phys
ical weakness Of women in general, it i,
a fact that their brains are more easily
deranged, and unless they change greatly
they are apt to deteriorate in essentia'
womanly qualities if thrown much OF
prominently before the world. They art
seldom fitted to rule, emulation and jeal
ousy being generally strong in their char
acter, while their feelings and Judgment
are often rapid in the extreme. 1t is il
the heart, therefore, that woman will
more especially feel the effects of Ag
Mysticism, whether those effects be fo
good or for evil. Her head may gain il
grasp of logic and in clearness Of view
but if her heart, with all its powers fo
good, is weakened and discouraged, sh
will gain little ultimately by the spreac
of the new views When the heart i
dispirited, Or thrown back upon itself
the action that springs from it tends in
evitably to fall lifeless to the ground.

Some swore positively that the first
claimant was the real Martin; others
were equally certain that he was an inn
postor. The case went for trial, and the
real man succeeded in proving his i1en-
tity, the counterfeit Martin (Alias Arm
auld du Tilk, being hanged. He con-
fessed his deception before his execution.
In the seventeenth century a long law
suit dragged on in the Paris Courts con-
cerning question Of disputed identity.
A man claimed to be the heir Of Cal
whist family named De Caille, who had
quilted France at the Revocation of the
Edict of Nantes. The deception was
proved at last, but the accidental re-
semblance between this advehturer,
Pierre Mege, and the deceased De Caille,
whom he attempted to personate, was
strong enough to deceive many persons.

| tion i'm a Spanish, Church.
| Madrid Correspondent
Recently a band of robbers entered
Rodes, a Catalan village in Lerids
County, Spain. 1t was Sunday. Nearly
all the inhabitants were at church. The
curate was in the palpitpreaching ser.
mon. Three of the robbers boldly stalked
into church. They Gas indeed all the
band were) had their faces smeated with
SCOT, a rifle was slung over their shoul-
ders, q revolver was in their hands, in
their belt was bowie-knife. Elbewing
their way to the pulpit, they went up
the steps, knocked down the curate,
bound him with ropes, threw him on
their shoulders and went with their bur-
den to the parsonage. As they Quilted
the church they warned the congregation
that whoever budged would be shot
down. Their companions appeared at
the door to show this threat to be no
idle menace. -
+ Nobody dared move. Once in the
parsonage, the poor curate was seated,
Estill bound, on a chair, and ordered to
surrender the 500 ounces of gold they
knew were in his possession. He de-
clared he had no money. They thrust
bowie-knives fifteen times in his legs and
arms, and as he persisted in his dec
laration, they put him on his feet and
belabored him with a cudgel. He there
upon confessed that he had $500 reals,
but that this sum was all that he pos
sessed. The robbers lighted a sheaf Of
wheat and held the poor curate's head
over IL. His hair, eyebrows and eyelash-
es took fire. He shrieked with pain.
These, screams brought his servant, and
she ran to ring the alarm bell. The rob
Der felled her to the earth. Furious at
being bafied of the 800 ounces Of gold,
which they knew were in the curate's
hands, they ordered him to kneel that
he might be shot. They were about to
execute their cruel design when one of
their comrades entered with the 1850
ounces of gold which, after long search,
he had found, together with some very
valuable arms. Thereupon they left.
Such was the terror they inspired, no.
body dared give pursuit.
