THE MAINE ELECTION.

Boston, Sept. l3.--'Iho blow in Maine
to day falls with crushing force upon
Republican hopes. Secretary Barnnm,
of the NationalCommittcc, ,rcckomcd il so
surely Republican that he considered
any work done there for the Democratic
cause us cloves labor lost" but the
returns up to nearly midnight Indicate
that the State has probably been wrcsted
from the Blaine party, and that, tOo'
without any outside aid. Plaistcd, tho
Democratic and Grcrnback candidate,
has, it appears, won tho election by Il
gratifying majority.
The Republicans have lost in every
quarter that has SO far been heard from,
and the Fusion ticket has gained i'm
mcnscly. Tho LIST District, which Blaine
claimed as so strongly Republican,
has probably elected Anderson, Demo
cratic candidate.
Boston Democrats arc j"bilant, and
claim the election of Plaistcd by 5000.
The majority of Republicans arc very
blue, and appear half willing to concedc
a Democratic success, but by light
majority only.
1T turns out as it now looks, that
Plaistcd is elected, IIancock's chances
will increase tllrcctold in New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, New Jersey, New
York, indiana and Pennsylvania, aud Il
Democratic victory in November will be
| almost assured.

AUGUSTA, Nc, Sept. Il. Midnight
Senator Blaine tclcs !aphcd Garfield to-
night as follows: The net result of yes
tcrday's election ~ nearly as can be
stated ut this hour,3 p. III. Tuesday, is
about as follows: The Republicans have
carried the first, second and third dis
tricts, while the F,lsi0rists lavo carried
the fourth and fifth. Tho Republicans
have carried both branches of tho Leg
islatnrc bya strong majority, reaching
perhaps two thirds of each house.
On tho popular vote for governor,
Davis and Plastcd have each over u 600
votes with probabilities in favor of Plais-
ted coming ont few hundreds, perhaps
thousand, ahead. The result is unle-
dcniably 81 pI.Sc to us, and equally
SO to the mass Of the Democratic party
in Maine. Orr canvass was never accu-

Bunyan's Church at ElstOw.
- ~. - No,,x v>,l~ Hl>so,x,o.


As the many pilgrims who came from all
parts of the world to the shrine OF Bunyan
are aware, the fine old Norman and early
English church has long been in a state of
dangerous dilapidation. At last, partly
through the iberality of Mr. Whitbread,
NJ. p, who is lord of the manor, its restor-
alton has been begun. The roof has been
taken off and portions of the great walls re-
moved, discovering many features of spe
cial interest to archaologists. The char
acteristics of the quaint old Office are being
strictly preserved, and the work has been
under the eye of the society for the pre-
servation of ancient monuments. The myri-
ads of Bunyan's admirers who have yainly
sought after souvenirs of their hero have
reason to rejoice. large portion of the
oaken beams and wood work-the latest of
which dates from 1530-is unfit for replace
ment owing to the decay of parts, and as so
many visitors have asked leaveto carry away
fragments with them, it has been happily
resolved upon by the authoriIes--Rev.
James Copner, B. A, the vicar, and Turn
er A. Macan, church warden to use the SOL
id old oak for binding new ''Elstow" edi-
ton of the "Pilgrim's Progress" which is
being prepared by the publishers, John
Walker Il Co. of London, the profits on this
method of utilizing the Elstow oak going to
the restoration fund, which needs enlarging.
Bunyan was converted by sermon preached
in the pulpit which, with his pew is to be
preserved. The wood will make handsome
book side, and to guard against imposition,

| by the vicar and church warden, will be en-

Public Massacres i'm Il .,hOmey,

From the London Telegraph.
1t is more than probable that the inhabi-
tants Of Dahomey have by this time had ex-
cellent reason to mourn the decease of their
eminent compatriot, the Chaka of Whydah;
for when the last mail left the west coast
of Africa his Majesty of Dahomey was ac-
lively engaged in completing his arrange
ments for the celebration of custom"
upon great sales, in honor of the public
obsequies then about to be given to the re-
mains of the functionary in question. AS
Dahomey custom" involves the massacre
of several hundred adult Dahomeyans of
both sexes, we cannot doubt that the Cha
ka's death has been n source of general and
sincere regret to his sorrowing Monarchs
subjects. The newly appointed Chaka, too,
proposed to inaugurate his tenure of Office
with due pomp and solemnity by a handsome
slaughter of able bodied youths and maid
ems, and it was in royal contemplation to
complete this sensational series of public ent-
ertainments by the decapitation, ON the ami
versary of the late Kings demise of 200
stalwart prisoners of war at present await
ing their permanent emancipation from
captivity in strict confinement at Whydah
Invitations to these striking festivities had
been issued to the foreign merchants abid-
ing on Dahomeyan territory, as well as the
local nobility, just before the departure of
the mail OF course they were positively
de eclined by all the resident members OF
representatives, of English firms, who, more
over Indignantly protested against the pro-
posed revival of these horrible massacres,
the mere prospect of which, it seemed had
caused general panic throughout the
country, and brought trade to stand still.

Importance of the Signal Service.
From The Nation.


The public apathy on the subject of the
future management of the Signal Service
affords striking example of Indifference to
public questions which, in the parlance Of
the time, have no politics in them" Next
in importance to the great financial, com
mercial and educational concerns of the.
country we may fairly place those interests
which are to be promoted by the meteoro-
logical reports of the Signal Office. 1t is of
the greatest importance to every farmer with
in reach of the telegraph and to every ship
owner in the country that the organization
is to issue these reports shall be as efficient
as possible, and especially that every avail
able means that science can suggest for Sc
curing the certainty of the predictions shall
be intelligently utilized. 1t depends alto
gether on the future management of the
Office whether its activity shall be confined
to lifeless routine without any attempt to
make new discoveries orintroduce improved
methods, or whether it shall be animated
by that progressive spirit which will not be
satisfied until every man within reach can
be informed of coming meteorological
changes as long in advance as it is possible
for thenSto be forseen.
