Auumnue Associa,iou.

The Camden Hershaw Anti Dueling. So
ciSty has been formed in South Carolina, and
we trust that This association will result in a
revolution OF public sentiment not only in
that state, but throughout the South. II Is
noticeable that the society declares dueling
to be " crime" and when this is realized
w ihe public, when the punishment for
lighting Is maze more igHGWigi0Hs than the
refusal to do 50, then, and not till then, will
reform be effected. But in the meantime
this is a move in the right direction, for or
gani1ed opinion must be opposed to the voice
of society. When brave men like Judge
Kershaw, once a major general in the Army
of Northern Virginia, and other gentlemen
of standing pronounce in favor Of the man
who refuses the cruel arbitration OF the code
then the man so refusing finds moral sup
port which is now lacking, and without
which duels will continue, to the reproaol
of the communities in which they occur

Manners.
Travel rapidly through the land, and you
carry home the impression that the Germans
are the politest people in the world. Stop
and carefully adjust them in the balance,
probe deeply, penetrate through this tawdry
veneer into the inner man. and you will find
only the base and hollow. The boor will
eventually crop ont, though clothed in the
garb of a Chesterfield. In this outer, super
fetal politeness they far surpass us Amer-
cans. They bow, salute, and wrggle more
than We. They wear more kid gloves than
we. To pass German acquaintance of
either gender without taking oil your hat is
n grave oil-nse. To fail to dispense "mahi-
seits " lavishly on leaving the table is still
graver breach of etiquette. The lower the
bow you make, the more you are esteemed
as gentleman. When you enter and leave
your coupe in travelling you are expected to
grunt forth JGien tag" or "mulhseH."
When you find yourself in bookstore you
should at once uncover. kellners and clerks
and servant maids, underings in general,
are so many automatons that chime forth
their mechanical salutations whenever the
door creaks on its hinges. But see those
strong Teutons sit and stare while that feeble
old form with its heavy satchel is trying to
work way ont of the car; note that herr at
table snorting and hawking away, Just as a
delicate morsel has been masticated, and is
coming in contact with your palate; observe
that gilded railroad official bullying an old
apple woman because, tired with her DAYS
work, and with waiting for the cars she has
sought out corner of the platform, and is
resting her wearied body upon her basket
turn to that baron at table d'h6te, who
always Tolls in his chair, and protudes his
ponderous pedals under the chair of the
crnging German opposite him; notice the
look of astOnishment and offended dignity
when Independent Young America, who
today happens to sit facing him, comes down
without ceremony, but with a crash, upon
the intrusive members; finally, watch that
couple yoader, vending their way up RhOns
hill, the nutt-brown lass toilipg upward
with n huge, well-flled basket on her
shoulders, the strappng peasant by her side
walking complacently along with only n cane
to impede his progress. All this is the bool
behind the garb. Nor is it confined to the
| middle or lower classes. u extends even to
| the elite of Berlin. Mr.. Viztelly, In his
| new book, says that the Prussian gallant may
sentimentalize devotedly with lady, and
| quote pages of hyperbolical rhetoric of Ger

open door for her, Or hand her chair oil

Fusion in Knox Dec1;nad

Meetings of the Greenback and Democratic
county committees took place in this city Tues
day They were called together to consider
whether the two parties should fuse, and to
arrange common ticket and settle who
should be dropped and who retained as candi-
dates If fusion could be agreed upon. There
were others, prominent politicians in the city,
from Thomaston and elsewhere, watching and
advising, and Mr.. Murch linger ed anxiously
around the rooms of the Greenbac kers. The
sessions were held in separate places, recurring
the services of messenger between the bodies.
We learn by clothes-line telegraph that the
Greenbackers were much more anxious to OBJ
tain Democratic aid than when they shut the
door of their convention, with SIAM in the
faces OF a Democratic convention at Thomas
ton. They wanted fusion now, but still in
sisted that having cast nearly as many votes
as the Democr ats in the election, they were
entitled to delegates in that proportion. 1t is
stated that they proposed as a committee only
to drop Gushee and support Spalding, the
Democratic candidate for Register of Probate.
1t is further currently reported that PROPOSE
ton was authorized from Mr.. Perry, Green
back candidate for Senator, to retire and leave
the field to Levensaer for definite consider
alton. Suffice to say That while some mem
beers of the Democratic committee and some
of their party-men were anxious to fuse on
any terms, the balance refused to humiliate
themselves any further and no fusion was eff
fected. This action they declare to be final,
and that the Democratic party will have
straight ticket in the field One thing is Ger
tain, some Democrats in Knox will refuse to
support any Greenback mixture, and will
sooner vote for Davis and Milliken than Plais-
ted and Murch. If they ride behind they will
choose their vehicle.-Rockland Free Press.

Portland District Camp-Meetinp

The large number of attentive listeners who
gathered in the grove yesterday shows the
deep interest tie Methodists take in their an
nual district convention.
The services of yesterday began with a $50
prayer meeting, followed at a. m. by social
meetings in the different chapels conducted by
the pastors of the various churches repre-
sented.
AT 10 a. m. large audience assembled in
the grove for the forenoon service, which be-
gan by song and prayer by Rev. G. f. Cobb.
Rev D. w. LeLacheur of Biddeford delivered
a very earnest and impressive discourse, based
upon the following words: HE is not here but
ne is risen as he said. Come see the place
where the Lord lay" The circumstances at
tending the resurrection of Christ were de-
scribed in very impressive manner. The f.
hal resurrection of the dead will be similar, at
tended by ~ the descent of angels, (2) the
trembling of the earth, 81 the meeting of two
parties, the friends and the enemies of Christ
A contrast was drawn between these two class
es with The different emotions arising in their
breasts at the final judgment

The afternoon preaching service began at
O'Clock by singing, 1T is well with my soul -
followed by the reading of the scripture lesson
by Rev. 9. W. Bradlee of Sacearappa. Prayer
was offered by the presiding elder. Rev. S. F.
Wetherbee discoursed from Job VIVA: GLOW
then he iuStifiad with CodO no
preacher alluded to the natural feeling of obi
CATION in every heart to atone for wrongs COM
mitted, and to the great sacrifices which have
been made to this end. He then defined The
meaning OF the term justification and spoke
OF the difficulties in the way of the sinner
which are ~ violated divine law, (2) mans
dspravity and 81 mans free agency. In an
swer to the question how can man be justified,
he stated that an atonement could not be made
by works OF righteousness but by simple faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Rev. Mr.. Stevens of York followed in an
earnest plea to the uncOnverted to accept the
terms of salvation. Prayer was made BY Mr..
Hutchins.
Immediately following this service, there
was meeting of the Woman's Foreign Mis-
sionary Society at the stand. The opening ex-

FIRE AT CAPE ELIZABETH.
Loss 81, 800; Insurance SIS. 600.

Yesterday morning at 1130 o'clock the resi-
dence of Mr.. VIM. F. Stafford, at Pond Cove,
Cape Elizabeth, was totally destroyed by fire,
Mr. Stafford came into the kitchen, where din
ner was preparing, and remarked he thought
the smell of smoke very strong. The members
of the family who were present, said he must
mistake the wood burning in the stove for
smoke elsewhere He went out and looked
and as the odor increased discovered that
flames were bursting out of Athe roof around
the kitchen chimney. He then seized the tin
horn, usually kept to call the farm hands to
dinner, and blew it with all his might Going
up stairs he found it would be useless to at
tempt to enter the finished attic as the flames
were spreading so rapidly.
Luckily the members of Dirgo Engine Co.,
No. s. of Portland, were having picnic at
the Picnic House close by, and they came
rushing to the spot. We are requested, in the
name of the family, to thank them for their
exertions They took hold with skill, and
will, that accomplished wonders, and it is due
mainly to their exertions, that the furniture
in the first and second stories was got out not
only,safe, but with scarcely a scratch. For
their efforts on this occasion we have only the
highest praise and can assure them it will not
be soon forgotten. There was also party of
ladies and gentlemen present from Deering
and they too worked like beavers The ladies
especially seemed to know what to do and did
it. The neigh bors were unceasing in their at
tentions and offered the use of their houses to
the burned out family. A lady from Portland,
visiting branch of the family who were oc-
cupying the old farm-house(situated some little
distance in the rear of the property burned,
also did noble service. To them and all who
assisted, the family can only offer heartfelt
thanks.
So dry was the grass around the house, that
the fire skipped over it to the farmhouse
above described and set it on fire several
times, but detachment of thirteen of the
fire company remained on guard and extin-
guished the flames every time they caught.
In an hour and half from the outbreak of
the flames the house was in ashes. 1t was
constructed in the spring of 1868 and cost
something over $4,000. There was an insur-
ance of 5000 in the Hartford, at the agency
OF jeremiah Dow The insurance on the fur
niture ran out short time ago. A son-in-
law of Mr.. Stafford who had over $500 worth
of table and bed linen, books etc., stored in
the attic, lost all without any insurance.
There was large grapery filed with Ham
burg and other grapes, and a capacious hem
merry adjoining the house. They were both
destroyed. A little girl with great presence of
mind opened the hennery door and let all the
hens out.

Falnouth's Bi-Centennial.


Last evening number of citizens met at
reception Hall on invitation of the committee
OF the City Council on the celebration of Fall
mouths bi-eentennal. Among those present
were Judge Goddard, Hon. W. w. Thomas
Jr., Eben Corey, and W. d. Little.
Mayor Senter presided and stated the object
of the meeting.
Judge Goddard favored a proper hist orical
celebration, one which would not cost over
$4,000. He thought all the towns that formed
part of ancient Falmouth should be invited to
participate. These were Cape Elizabeth,
Deering, Falmouth and Westbrook. That a
meeting should be held on the ground where
the first settlement was held; that there should
De "a procession OF the military, and other
organized bodies of Portland and that the
Governor and Council should be guests of the
CITY He thought there should be two orations
delivered, one in City Hall and one on the
spot where Fort Loyal stood. He thought
Longfellow would gladly be present and de-
liver poem.
Hon. W. w. Thomas, Jr. argued with the
Judge and referred to the grand celebration
that had taken place at New Sweden. He
thought we were commercial city, the
metropolis of Maine and it was we'll for us to
celebrate our bi-csntennial.
j. L. Hull, Esq, spoke in favor of the cele-
bration and thought as Massachusetts, was so
identified with our early history that the
Governor and Council of Massachusetts should
be invited to attend
Mr.. Corey argued ror creditabe celebration
at not great expense.
Alderman Deering thought, although in
favor of celebrations and willing to bear his
share of the expense, yet the large taxpayers
of his ward were opposed to any appropriation
for such an object.
Mr.. Rich thought if we didn't show a little
interest in our welfare we might die of dry-rot
After further remarks by other gentlemen it
was voted to request the City Government to
appropriate $4,000 for a celebration such as
they might think best.

A Railroad Sauabble.


There appears to be little difficulty be-
tween the Eastern and B Jston & Maine com
panies As we understand the matter the
City OF Richmond lands and takes her passen-
gers from the Eastern Railroad wharf and her
cars run down to the wharf SO that passengers
can step from the boat aboard the cars Now
the Mt. Desert travel is very large and the
boston < Maine naturally desires to get its
share OF it, Therefore the hackmen were
offered fifteen cents for each passenger they
could induce to take the Boston & Maine train
instead OF the Eastern. The hackmen week
ago demanded % cents head and the Boston
q Maine acceeded. Consequently the hackmen
nave been working like beavers for the Boston
q Maine. Superintendent Sanborn we under
stand has forbidden the hackmen to solicit
passengers on Eastern Railroad property. He
does not dispute their right to do so on neutral
ground, but the wharf is Eastern railroad
property and he thinks it pretty cheeky for
the Boston & Maine to come uron his stamping
ground and take away his business.

The meeting of the League last evening was
very fairly attended. Interesting and spirited
speeches were made by Woodbury. S. Dana,
Esq, Hon. Geo. w. Woodman, Hon. w. F.
Lunt, Ardon W. Coombs, Esq. and several
others All of the speakers evinced great con-
fidence in the ability of the Republican party
to sweep the state in the September election.
The discussion although conducted in run
ming and general style, showed that the prac-
teal business men of the city are thoroughly
alive to the political necessities of the state
and nation. Several of the speeches were adj
dressed directly to the young men, who listen
ed with great interest to the words of sage ad-
vice so generously given by men whose best
years have been spent in building up the bust
ness interests OF Portland. A political discus
sion from business mans standpoint is always
very gratifying to listen to, but when so much
animation and enthusiasm are injected into it
as there was at the League room last night,
great deal of practical information can be OBJ
tanned to heighten the pleasure Herbert G..
