The Ne,Ds From Maine.

Below We PRINT an extract from
private letter received in this city from
"A gentleman iu Auburn, Maine, VINO Is
we'll posted az to the political troubles
of that State and who Is entirely reliable
In his explanation of his reference to
Corporal DAVIS 10 may be well to state
that during the late war the so-cailed
Governor Davis of Maine, was corpo-
raj and that "Ube boys of his company
used to poke good deal of fun at him
because wheneler there was fight in

tack of summer complaint and was

You remember Judge May; well. the
old Judge in these latter days has been
troubled with softenIng of the brain, and
IL now almost demented. he spends
much of his time in prayer, and some OF
his sayings are rather funny. The other
day, while addressing the Throne OF
Grace, he got off this: "Oh Lord, what
damned tunes these are.'
The times are me st certainly quite out
of Joint You have probably seen that
the 'trupes' have been called out, Cor

mer complaint he had it quite frequent
ly while in the army. Some OF the boys

the other evening some rockets. pound

In ten minutes time Davis sent tele-

| One company from this city and one
from Lewistown started at one O'Clock
iu the morning. They were guarded to
the depot by the mayors of the two ci-
ties, all the police and such "loyal' men
as they could muster at such an early
hour in the morning. Mayor Day, Of
Lewiston, gave special orders to the
conductor of the train to run slow as he
feared the Fusionists would run the
tram off the track and smash up the

RepLy to MdrshaL McMulien

EDITOR GAZETTE - Dear Sir:-I
wish To say a word or two in reply to
Mr.. McMullin's communication in the
GhzETEE of 23d. In the FIRST p ace
did not say that Mr.. McMulen had not
paid his tax. said then and still say
at the time | settled with the county
Treasurer there were four U. 5. officers
who had not paid their taxes. Now, |
say, instead of four owing me taxes at
that time there were .fue, and at the
time | wrote my communication there
were three instead OF t,co, one Of the
three having paid me this day, Mr..
McMullen says that he don't know of
but four q. s. officers in New Castle
HundIed. He may not know of but
four, but know vi eight and when he
lived in this hundred be made nine.
Now what would they think at Wash
ington of the Marshal OF the State of
Delaware not knowing of but four gov
ernment officers in New Castle Hun
dred when we have eighl? For his infUr-
nation, | will name. them. We have
Postmaster at New Castle, Hare's
Corner and Red Lion; two mail carriers,
one carries the mail from depot to New
Castle Postoflice, the other fiOm New
Castle PostOfiice to Red Lion. We
have two lighthouse keepers, we have a
custom house officer, which makes eight
and when | was collector of New Castle
| Hundred we had the U. s. Marshal
which made nine. Now, | have ac-
counted for nine and that is not all, but
| that will do for this time.
| Mr.. McMullin wants to know If
sent those Republicans their tax re-
ceipts, Mr.. McMullin ought to know
that any man could vote ON Tax re
ceipt that was paid within two years, land
if he had to produce his tax receipt fol
lhe year 1878, he could not have voted
for his tax was not paid at that time
As regards calling OF Mr.. McMuller
when l was about making out my error
list, will say this: when he paid INT
his tax asked him if they wished Il
pay any other taxes, if so they now hat
an opportunity TO do it, or l would have
to return them as errors. This an
willing to swear TO.
Now, as regards the tax receipt Mr.
Wallace holds. l called on him to-day
and he explained to me the way he re
ceived it. He paid his tax on the da,

CLEVELAND, Jan. 26.-The Woou-
land avenue Presbyterian congregation
OF this city Is just now very mucn exer-
cised over the alleged singular courtshlp
OF its pastor, Rev. S. |. Blake, gehIie-
man somewhat advanced in years, VINO
has been twice a widower. About SIX
months ago Mr.. Blake's second wiIe,
handsome and accomplished lady, was
taken i'll and died aud was buried with
all the appropriate emblems OF griei:
few months ago there came hither from
Cincinnati Miss Blood, young lady
Just out other teens, who at once attract
ed attention by her comely appearance
and winning manners. Among tnose
who worshipped at the shrine OF her
beauty speedily came her pastor aua III
a brief time there were all the indlca-
tions apparent that precede connupiai
bliss.
Upon arriving from Cincinnati Miss
Blood entered the Normal School with
the expressed intention of fitting herself
for a teacher. She connected herself
with Mr.Blake's church and was assld-
uous In her attendance upon his meet
ings. Presently 1t was observed that the
pastor was unusually tender with The
Cincinnati belle. He was noticed hold
in1 her hand much longer than was the
custom and when on one occasion thls
caused some of the people present TO
laugh he rebuke them severely, telling
them they had come to be instructed not
amused. But it is his actions III the
palpit that have occasioned so much
talk. His members claim that he has
been observed during his sermons 10
press his hand upon his heart and direct
his eyes with mistakable meaning
ward his fair parishipner Duringt the de-
livery of lecture few evenings ago ne
directed his entire attention to the young
lady, while she was observed throwing
him little kisses with her finger tips
from the convenient though Ineffective
corcealment of fur milif. During a
week of Illness he sent carriage ana
she visited him at the parsonage. In
consequence of these marked and pecu-
liar attentions it is said the deacons held
consultation and voluntarily offered
the reverend gentleman a two weeks va
cation to 90 to St. Louis and visit Broth-
er Moody.

No Lodgers Need Ippsv.
THE RULEs RELATING TO LoDGERs AT

THE RULES RELATING TO LoDGERs AT
THE CITY HALL--A LITTLE DlsTINc-
TIoN NEEDFUL.
Three men, evidently from Germany,
and unable TO speak one word OF Eng
lish, applied for lodging at the police
station last night. They were well
dressed and looked like honest and
respectable fellows, whowere quite will
ing to work for livelihood. Through
an interpreter one of them told their
story. They had been In this country
but short time and did not know its
ways or customs. They were friendess ;
money was even scarcer than
friends, and they had been unable TO gel
work. Leaving Philadelphia yesterday
morning, they had started for Baltimore.
Night overlook them as they were com
ing into Wilmington, and as the air was
cold they thought they would try and Sc
cure lodging for the night, not caring TO
lie out in the chilly night air.
Chief Of Police Maxwell gave them
the answer that he is always compelled
to give--a decided negative. He told
them that they had but six cells in the
place, and prisoners occupied them all.
If he lodged them anywhere else he
would he violating the decided orders of
City Council, and they would have to
look elsewhere, although he Was sorry
TO refuse them.
This scene is repeated at the police
station night after night, and on some
evenings as high as half dozeu differ
ent parties apply, only to be turned
away. In the latter part of last autumn
these people were granted accommoda-
tions in the police station, but Council,
hearing of it, Immediately issuel orders
in the most earnest key that the proceed
ing had to be stopped. 1t is quite likely
that the city fathers were hitting at the
worthless tramps who make a business
of seeking charity, aud who once before
filled the City Hall with vermin. But
it certainly would be well for them to
make distinction, and, at least, to
somewhat modify their imperative man
date, in order that the Chief of Police
and Mayor may draw discretionary dis
tinction in favor of those unfortunates
whom they may deem deserving OF a lit
tie act of kindness.

Iron in the Air.

Observations of snow collected on
mountain tops, and within the arctic cir
Gle, far beyond the influence of factories
and smoke, confirmed the supposition
that minute particles of iron float in the
atmosphere, and in time fall to the earth.
BY some men of science, these floating
particles Of Iron are believed to bear
some relation to the phenomena of the
aurora. Groneman of Gottingen, for In :
stance, holds that streams of the arti-
Giles revolve around the sun, and that,
when passing the earth, they are attract
ed to the poles, thence stretching forth
as long filaments into space; but, as they
travel with planetary velocity, they be-
come ignited in the earth's atmosphere,
and in this way produce the well-known
Luminous appearance characterizing
aurora phenomena. Prof. Nordenskjold,
who examined snow in the far north be-
yond Spi:zenbergen, says that he found
in it exceedingly minute particles of
metallic iron, phosphorus and cobalt.

Annexation of Nicaragua.

MIR. EDIToR:-I think it is time, now
that the project of water way through
the lsthmus is being seriously con
sidered, to bring this matter to the no.
tice Of the p"blic as a thing of the high
est political importance. In this way
only can the United States maintain
that control over the route that her
situation and interests demand. 1t
would be better for the maritime
welfare of all nations that power
like the United States, which is seldom
involved in foreign contests, should
have eminent control over this passage,
otherwise it might prove a frequent
source of international broils.
II is useless to avoid the struggle
which must come for the possession of
this highway of commerce. For should
the way be opened and war should oc-
cur between this nation and foreign
power il would be one of the first poin S
of contention. 1t would be better then
to secure possession at once,
Nicaragua Is very fine country, rich
! in minerals and most tropical prcduc-
tons. Ii you want commerce you must
have colonies, and under the influence
of American colonization the produc-
tive value of this country would be i'm.
mense. The effect on our trade anC
commerce of the acquisition of thi:
country would be very similar to that
of California in 1S4S.
1t would form an outlet for oul
surplus population, and for the yeunG
and enterprising aud would cause grea
revival of trade.
The Clayton-Bulwer treaty is in the
wayand would have to be abrogated. Thi
treaty has had the effect OF preventing
other countries from forming settlement
here until the time should come for tn,
| United States to take possession. cam,
IN ough that country during the opera
lion of the Vanderbilt line, and have
ever since been an advocate for anneXa
zion, whenever the proper time shoul,
come.
This is undoubtedly the most feasible
route for a water way. The great lake o
Nicaragua, which empties into the At
lantic, is but twelve miles from the Pa
ctic ocean, and is only one hundred fee
above the ocean level.
As far as one could observe by riding
over the land, it appeared as if the dig
ging would not be ot difficult nature
The Spanish engineers, while their gov
ernment held this land, always prefer
red, and often recommended this route
| think that in the event of annexation
the United States Government SHOULD
open this way, under the power to con
struct military and post roads. of course
the people of Nicaragua would have tc
be consulted in this matter; but thC
time is not far distant when the influen'
tial class were in favor of annexation
Ii Nicaragua was in our possession, ! dc
not know that there would be any objec
tions to allowing NJ. DeLesseps to cut
his canal at Panama If he was able to dc
so. w. +. QuINBY.

A BILL TO BE REPORTED IN THE HOUSE
TO INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF
OUR NAVAL ESTABLISHMENT.

BILL TO BE REPORTED IN THE HOUSE
TO INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF
OUR NAVAL ESTABLISHMENT.
WASHINGTON, January 28.-Repre-
sentative Harris, of Massachusetts, In be-
half of the subcommittee of the House
Naval Committee, to whom was referred
the bill 'providing for the establishment
OF hoard OF assistants for the Navy OF
the United States and for other pur-
poses," to-day reported to the full COM
mittee a substitute bill, which was unan
imous!y adopted by the full committee
and will be presented to the House to-
morrow, with the request that an early
day be set for Its consideration. Ii is
intended as the fUrerunner of legislation
looking to the complete reorganization
OF the Navy TO have appraised and sold
all unserviceable property of the Navy
Department, including worthless vessels,
the proceeds to be paid into permanent
construction fund to be provided for by
Congress, and to be used in building
and equipping new vessels.
A report written by Representative
Harris, to accompany the bill, was also
unanimously adopted aud will be pre-
sented to the House tomorrow. 1t sets
forth the result of a careful examiua-
ton made by the committee to ascertain
the present condition, character, useful
ness and capacity for warlike purposes
OF each vessel named in the Navy Regis
ter.
In con Guiding the detailed analysis of
the "142 vessels of the navy, so-called,'
the committee bring the results into
tabular form to show, as they say, "what
a dissolving view our navy presents"
They continue: "Here are forty-eight
vessels and no more belonging to the ma
w to-day, capable of firing gun, and
of these i've are old obst lete sailing
vessels. If to these we are to add the
eleven steam vessels repairing or wait
Ing repairs, the six iron clads repairing
and awaiting repairs, the three steam
vessels in ordinary and the one uDfin-
iShed (second-rate steam vesseD, and as
snme that they can be made fit for duJy,
the whole navy of the United States
would at any one time number only
sixty nine vessels capable of carrying
guns and doing naval duty.
The committee furthersay: 1--WE can
not expect at once to build up a navy
powerful enough to meet In midocean
and successfully contend with the mon
ster iron-clads of England, France and
Italy, nor do we desire that the attempt
should be made. We want navy capable
| OF protecting our commerce on all seas,
of defending our borders from Invasion
and o destroying the commerce and sea
going cruisers of any nation which may
maze war upon the United States. In
The opinion of the committee the time
has arrived when 1t is national duty
TO begin the construction of a new navy.
In any future wars with European ma
tions we must fight upon the sea or no.
where" The committee do not recon-
mend the expenditure Of large sums
with view of perfecdhg such a navy
this year or the next, but to commence
the construction of three or four vessels
each year and keep constantly employ~
ed a regular forc> of skilled mechanics.

CHARGES,

WHAT PRESIDENT GowEN BOLDLY
CHARGES.
Phila. Records Washin gton Despatch.
In The course of the hearing regarding
interstate commerce before the House
Committee on Commerce, yesterday,
Mr.. +. b. Gowen, President of the Read
ing Railroad Company, suggested that
there would be difficulty in enforcing IN
Pennsylvania any law against discrimi-
mating corporations, and said: "There is
to-day no remedy certain and effective
enough for the removal of the evil"
Mr.. McLane-Under the statutes of
Pennsylvania
Mr.. Gowen-Yes, sir. Another diff
culty-one of which we should speak
with great hesitancy, for ] do not care
about washing the dirty Linen of Penn
sylvania in public at all-is that the
parties infested in this monopoly have
such a control over the politics of Penn
sylyania that you must change the heart
of the people; you must send some mis-
sionaries among them and endeavor to
eXtirpate the evil at its root.
Mr.. O'Neill-You do not mean to say
that there are certain parties in Penn
sylvania who are controlling the Judges
of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Judges selected and elected by the peo-
plea Supreme Court composed of ster-
ling men? That men such as those can
be controlled improperly or induced to
prejudice any proceedings before them by
delay or other meansp
Mr.. Gowen-Do you know, Mr..
O'Neill, what the fox told the hon when
he asked him if his breath smelled bad
ly?
Mr.. O'Neill-No, sir.
Mr.Gowen-He said he had bad cold
and could not smell.
Mr.. O'Neill-Very well. All that l
want to say is, that repel any imputa-
ton upon the character of the State of
Pennsylvania or of its judicial officers.
Mr.. Gowen-The imputation comes
from my friends, not for me.
Mr.. O'Neill-No, sir. My dear sir,
you are insinuating improper things in
regard to the judiciary-in connection
with the proceedings of which you have
slightingly of them in intimating that
those proceedings cannot be carried into
operation.
MI UOWeH-l am dSSerblnS lacJS. L
have heard the counsel of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad stand in the Supreme
Court and threaten that Court with the
displeasure of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company if it decided against it;
and can tell you all the blood in my
body tiugled with shame. And can
tell you-for | was member ofthe con-
stitutional convention of Pennsylvania
that If that convention did anything
effective, it was when it declared that
the Supreme Court should not have jur-
isdiction in criminal case. and, not
withstauding that the constitution of the
State contains that declaration, have
seen the Judges of the Supreme Court
lay their hands upon an indictment in a
County Court aud hang itup-for what?
That is all know of the case.
