MAINE.

Boston, Jan. 25.-Specials from
Augusta say that there is much dis.
satisfaction among the Fusionists,
who assert that Garcelon traded
with the Republicans and plotted
with Chamberlain to deliver the
State House to the Republicans.
The State House officials are posts
tive that the Fusionists were to have
captured the State House last night
but the precautionary measures
which were taken prevented them.
BANGOR, Jan. 26.-The Chief
Justice summoned the Judges Of
the Supreme Court to assem-
BILE here this evening, to deter
mine whether any, and what action
shall be taken upon the questions
submitted by the Fusionists. AS
the Court has twice gone over the
whole ground of the controversy,
the session will probably be brief.
Boston, MASS, Jan. &c.
The Heralds Augusta special
says: The Fusionist Senate met to-
day with only seven members pres
ent and took recess to 4 p. m. 1t
is now thought that after hearing
what the Supreme Court has to say
to the Fusion statement and ques>
tions, Governor Davis will issue a
proclamation calling on the Fusion
government to disperse, and will
enforce it by arrests. 1t is thought
that Wednesday will be the last day
of the dual government.

NEW YORK.

New YORK, Jan. 27.--A fire
broke out this morning in an extern
sive shoeshop connected with the
Kings county penitentiary, at Flat
Blush, Long Island. There were
forty-two prisoners and and thirty
six outside hands in the building at
the time, but by cool and careful
management all we're gotten out
safely. The building was entirely
destroyed. The Bay State Shoe
Company had $250,000 worth of
machinery in the building, which is
almost total loss. The building
itself cost 500, 900 ten years ago.

Another Grand Tidal Wave Coming


Especial to the Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Despite
the evident decadence of the Grant
boom, supporters of the third term
profess to believe that they will
succeed. They talk as though it
were part of their plan to let Gen.
Grant pass out Of public notice for
a season, predicting that when he
returns just before the meeting of
the Chicago Convention, enthusiasm
will revive, and he will carry every
thing with o rush.. A Senator who
is very intimate with Don Cameron
says there is nothing in the
rumor that the Pennsylvania
Senator has become convinced
that it would not do to run Grant
for third term. He declares that
Cameron is for Grant and for no~
body else. He honestly believes
that Grant is the strongest man his
party can nominate, and intends to
do all in his power to nominate him.
He acknowledges, however, that
the Grant boom has visibly declined
during the past few weeks. Grant
men here say that while the decas
dence of the Grant boom is more
marked than they expected it would
be, yet when he returns to our
shores at the opportune moment it
will break out afresh and nobody
will be able to stand against it.

Dying Words.
Virginia (Nev.) } Enterprise. ]

Virginia New Enterprise
1t is probably natural that at the
last the scenes which have made the
strongest impression in life should be
recalled by memory. The old noun
taineer, when he comes to die, with
his last whisper says his snowshoes
are lost; with the stage driver he is
" on down grade and can notreach
the brake;' the miser can not get to
the air pipe, the sailor says -" eight
bells have sounded" and the gambler
plays his last trump. A little girl
died here a few years ago, and as
her mother held her wrist and noted
the fainting and Pickering pulse,
smile came to the wan, face and the
child whispered: "There is no more
desert here, mamma, but all the
world is full of beautiful flowers"
A moment later the smile became
transfxed. In an Eastern city, not
long ago, a Sister of Charity was
dying, and at last from stupof she
opened her eyes and said; /" 1t is
strange; every kind word that l
have spoken, every tear that l have
shed, has become living flower
around me, and they bring to my
senses an incense inefable.'

Fire in Oakland.

The residence of Mrs. Schmittman,
on the corner of Third and Alder
streets, was discovered to be on fire
Tuesday about IL o'clock. An alarm
was given and a large crowd soon
gathered and succeeded in arresting
the flames before much damage was
done. More damage was occasioned
by water and The hurried removal of
furniture than by the fire. The fire
was first discovered in closet on the
first floor, and was generally suppos-
ed to have been caused by sponta-
neous combustion, as there had been
no fire in that part of the house for
several days. If the fire had not
been gotten under control the whole
southern portion of the town wouid
have been at the mercy of the flames
as q strong wind was prevailing at
the time and everything was very
dry.

To Butter Makers.

The season has come for butter
making and the time of the year is
approaching when, for few weeks
there will be an ever-supply, and
butter will be hard to sell at any
price. But those who 0l,cdys make
a first class article have hut little
trouble usually to sell indeed their
butter is sought after. Merchants can
buy it and ship it when 1T can't be
sold at home; but the bad butter,
that which is white and cheesy, con-
tanning portion of the milk, heat
ed in the sun going to market, is
hard for the maker to sell and worse
for the dealer. The latter can't well
say to the maker that the butter is
not good, for all seem to think they
make the very best; but when the
dealer offers to sell, his customers
don't hesitate to say, "that is not
good, who made it," &c. Many per-
sons who are not Judges buy on the
reputation the parties. have for max
ing good quality Of butter. Per-
sons who are known to make first
class butter have no trouble to sell
and always get the highest market
price, while those who don't make a
good article never get the highest
figure and can't sell at any price
when there is a crowded market ;
besides, they injure their neighbors,
as those who make good butter have
to sell at the market price, which is
lower than it would be if all the but
ter marketed was even fair. Those
who try to sell a bad article are al
ways complaining Of the low price.
