The latest sect in England is that of
the Danielites. 1t had its rise in 1875,
and its founder was t. w. Richardson,
a student of medicine and vegetarian.
The organization has form of initia-
tion, degrees, badges, scarfs, and all the
symbols of q secret society. The per-
son who desires to become q member
takes solemn VOW to abstain entirely
from fish, flesh, and fowl, from spiritu-
Gus and malt liquors. from snuff and to-
bacco. When this promise has been
taken and solemn pledge of secrecy
given, the candidate is ushered into the
" garden" which is the Danielite name
for lodge. The head of each garden is
called the chief gardener. The sect has
no theological system. A member may
believe what he chooses so long as he
affirms the existence of Supreme Be-
ing and maintains vegetable diet. The
initiation fee is two shillings. 1t is said
that the order has many adherents, and
is spreading in England.

A man who passed through many
stirring and dangerous scenes was re-
Gently killed in most prosaic manner
on the Philadelphia and Baltimore rail
road. This was Professor Louis Binel,
French teacher of languages and
lecturer on French literature. He was
about fifty-eight years of age and was
native of Normandy, where his brothers
yet reside. During the Crimean war he
was the correspondent of the Journal deS
DebG'S, of Paris. He was selected as
one Of the commission which accom-
panied the eill-fated Emperor Maximilian
to Mexico, and acted us his direct legal
adviser upon the provision of the code
Napoleon, in which he was deeply
versed. After the execution of Maxi
milan, Miramon and Mejia, Professor
Binel came TO the United States, He
sacrificed large estate bv his devotion
to the imperial cause, and he was almost
penniless when he reached this country.
In Philadelphia he soon found acquaint-
ances who assisted him in forming
classes, and he became the owner of
valuable property in Germantown.

TIMELY TOPICS.

A Chicago engineer proposes to get
rid of the sewerage and the river there by
damming up the river, pumping it out
and using the bottom for the railroads
which come into the city. A large
sewer should be laid under the bed of
the river, extending out into the lake, a
current being kept up by pumps at the
mouth of the river. Then it is proposed
to fill in large space of the lake in
front and build a sea wall further out
which would give all the water front
needed. The project is large one and
appeals to the Imagination.

The Maine Question.

Editor of the Kennebec Journal:
Much is being written upon the question
of "Who shall be inaugurated Governor of
Maine for the next two years; and having
carefully read all that / have seen upon the
subject, have no doubt that the Legislature
when called upon to decide the matter will
so act that all will feel justice has been
done.
/ believe the question of ''for whom should
the votes be counted, that were returned for
Plaisted, with first name or initial letter, or
both wrong" has pretty generally been set
tied, that they should be counted for Harris
NJ. Plaisted, as in most cases the ballots
were correct. the record the same, while the
errors were made by the clerks in their re-
turns.
The other point, and the one which in my
judgment should never have been raised by
any republican, is whether a plurality of
votes should elect this year. Why not?
How stands the case?
Last winter the republican majority passed
the constitutional amendment, whichwas SUBJ
mitted to the people, and which by large
majority was ratified in compliance with law
No one questions the validity OF the act, or
the mode or legality of its ratification. When
shall ii take effect? believe, all such amend
ments. generally have had some explanatory
clause attached, naming the time when they
were to go into effect. Suppose instead of,
as it declared. the provision had been ''that
| this amendment should, if ratified, govern
the election Of 1884," does any one say that
that would not have been perfectly legal? In
stead however, the legislature saw fit to pro-
vide that the amendment in question should
govern the election Of 1880, and with full
knowledge of all that was implied, the peo-
4 pie by majority said, 1--WE accept the terms,
agreeing to bind ourselves thereby" There
would seem to be no difficulty. The Govern
or, by his proclamation, some time since de-
clared the hereinbefore mentioned amend
ment to have become part of the State Con-
stitution, so that when the votes for Governor
shall be counted in January, the legislature
will. of necessity, be bound to take notice of
that fact What next? The legislature will
just as strongly be bound to take notice of
the fact, that 1.-THE people" through their will
expressed in the only way that they
they could express it, at the polls, asked the
| Legislature to let said amendment decide
and govern their action this year. If they do
this, who will be injured, who will be cheat
ed? Not the minority that voted upon the
ratification of the amendment, because they
get their candidate by the course herein sug-
gested. Not the majority for that would be
to accuse them of pleading the ''baby act"
and saying they passed the amendment and
voted for it at the polls upon the idea of
''heads win tails you lose.'
As polite measure. | am for the most
liberal construction in all this matter, more
especially as the old Bourbon democracy,
that voted for Plaisted, are now cursing him
and hoping that he may not become Gov

has especially studied the constitution and

suit of this effort and practical knowledge,

The Treasury Report.

The report of the Treasurer shows the
financial condition of the govern
ment to be excellent and makes i'm
portant recommendations. The public
debt has been reduced since August 81.
1865, 1866, ,405, ,S3O.54. The Secretary
recommends that the public debt or con-
siderable part of it. which becomes due
prior to July next be provided tor by is
suing notes in denominations not less than
ten dollars, bearing interest not exceeding
four per cent. and running from one to
ten years He believes many cf these
can be sold at three per cent. If this is
done the annual saving of interest 'vill be
increased in the sum of Sl2, l0l, 1880.
The reduction of annual interest caused
by refunding since March /, 1877, is s14.-
200, 1880.
The Secretary thinks that if Congress
should determine to reduce taxes that all
the taxes imposed by the internal revenue
law other than those on bank circulation
and on spirits, tobacco. and fermented liq-
uors should be repealed. He believes the
wisdom of resumption has been fully
demonstrated, and expresses the utmost
confidence that without new legislation
the entire amount of United States now
authorized and outstanding can be easily
maintained at par in coin even if the pre-
sent favorable financial condition should
change: but he says in order to do this the
coin reserve must be kept unimpaired ex-
cept by such payments as may be made
from it in redemption of notes. He ex-
presses the opinion that 1.-THE present sys-
tenn of currency, the substantial features
