Blaine to Garfield.

Yesterday Senator Blaine sent the follow
ing by telegraph -
AUGUSTA, Maine, Sept. l6. 1880.
To GENERAL JAMES \. GARFIELD, Mentor,
Ohio
The indications now point unmistakably to
the election of Governor Davis. five could
be assured Of an honest vote and an honest
return in the French plantations of Aroos-
took county every possibility of doubt would
be removed. Those plantations have been
the hot beds of democratic fraud
for thirty years past. We have not
vet received their returns. The total vote for
Governor Davis will reach nearly if not
quite seventy-four thousand. Only twice in
the history Of our party in Maine has the
vote exceeded seventy five thousand and never
reached seventy-six thousand. The average
annual vote for the past ten years has been
little more than sixty thousand.
Our people are in splendid heart and
courage and will go into the November fight
with the advantage of popular majority in
the contest of Monday last.
j. G.. BLAINE.
Mr.. Blaine also telegraphed the follow
ing: -
AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 10th, 1880.
To WmrELAw REID. Editor Tribune, n. Y. ::
The returns from country towns show
steady and uniform increase in republican
vote, justifying our canvass in every respect
In Portland, Bangor, Bath, Blddeford, Bel
fast and some fifteen or twenty other large
towns we met our principal loss, by means to
which have already referred. These in
strumentalities did not reach the country
towns and hence Governor Davis has been
coming up splendidly within the last thirty
six hours. We now feel confident of his
election by the vote of the people.
There is possibility that democratic
frauds will be attempted in the far off NADIA
waska region, among the French on our
extreme northeastern frontier, over three
hundred miles from here by existing routes
of travel. Those French people are them
selves honest and innocent, but they are made
the passive instruments of fraud by the gen.
uine Anglo Saxon democrat of the State steal
variety.
Fraud in Madawaska has been often tried
by the democrats in the past and was signal
ly exposed and rebuked as long ago as 1858
by James T. Pike Of the Tribune, appointed
special commissioner by Gov. Lot NJ. Nor
rill. 1t NAV become necessary to order
similar investigation this year.
The courage of Maine republicans never
was higher than at this moment. We have
elt cted twenty-five members of the Senate,
against nine by the fusionists, and have the
House of Representatives by large major
ity. The political power in Maine is perma-
nently wrested from the men who last year
dishonroed the State. JAMES G. BLAINE.

Election Returns.

We publish this morning election re-
turns from all but few towns in the
State, which have not been heard from.
Governor Davis leads Plaisted !. 49, votes.
The other towns to be heard from cast last
year fusion majority, but the same ma
iority this year would still leave Governor
Davis about 400 ahead. Governor Dayl;
is undoubtedly elected by 3 plurality no
far from the foregoing figures. Most o
the places to be heard from are In thu
Madawaska district. in which the repub
licans, as will be seen by our special des
patches. have made gains, as in most o
Of the other rural districts of the State.

DRUGSTORE CuriOSities,

who knew eXacsly what he wanted:

Sueuge Gathering.

The sponge may be found in the various sub
tropical waters OF the world. The principal
SpDngiEg grounds Of the United States are The
waters around Key West and along the western
coast OF Florida from Tampa Bay on the south
to Pensacola on the northeast. The sponge
schooners have two places to clean their sponges
when coast Sponging-one at Anclote Keys the
other at Rock Island.
or the sponge we have several varieties,
classed according to their marketable value as
.'Sheep wooi,n yellow" fox glove,n ''graSS ~
&C., besides one class, the 'lOggerhead," which
has no value, and Is not thought worth picking
up. The first named is the variety mostly
sought as it bears the best market price. The
most of the vessels engaged in the sponge trade
are owned and fitted out at Key West The
outfit of a sponge schooner consists OF number
OF long poles with hooks fastened ON the end
for gathering. and from three to seven small
boats called 'dingys," from seven to fifteen men
according to the number OF boatS-with pro-
visions for from eight to twelve weeks, water
glasses, &C.
Having curiosity to see actual sponge gath
erfng, last Monday morning found me aboard
the schooner Samfiler spinning towards the
bars; but owing to light winds during the day
We did not arrive till after nightfall. Tuesday
morning, however, spong1ng commenced in
earnest: Shortly after sunrise the ''dingys,"
manned by. two men each. with water-glasses,
sponge-hools, &C., set off in quest of sponges.
One Of the men in the 'dingy'' SOULS the boat
about here and there, while the other, lying
water glass, scans the bottom for sponges. The
waterglass used by the spongers is nothing but
a common deep wooden pail, with a circular
pane OF glass for bottom. Placing this up
right In the water, and putting the head in far
enough to exclude most of the light one can
easily see an object on the bottom In six or
seven fathoms of water. The sponger, when he
sees sponge, by the waving OF his hand directs
the sculler how to go, and when in desirable
position he thrusts his long pole down and
hooks his sponge.
The vessels usually remain out upon the bars
from Monday until Friday evening OF each
week, coming into the keys Friday night, In or
der to clean the sponges which they had gath
present week into crawis, put their wood and
water on board, and prepare for the next week.
The sponges Which they gather one week are Put
sand, where, at low water, they VIII be quite or
almost dry. Here they are left until the next
Saturday, to be washed by the tides On the
following Saturday they are cleaRSed by striking
them one or two light blows with paddle. VIII
the sponges are cleaned they are taken aboard
