The Standard. after quoting from the
Bangor Wing in regard to the payment OF
S96 to Henry Chase by the fusion Council
for services never rendered, admits the
fact by retorting as follows:
How abou; Joseph o. Smith, Deputy Sec
rotary of State, who received 81 500 per
year and did correspondence for the Boston
Globe and Boston Journal during that same
time: We suppose that was all right. was
it: And you must remember that Smith also
did Associated Press work during the time
he was in the same Office, and also the same
official who is now receiving $1,000 per year
is doing correspondence for the Boston jour
nal, and editing his own paper, the Somerset
Reporter
Mr.. Smith is a very efficient officer. as
all who had business at the Secretary OF
States office will admit Now does he al
low any business ne may have outside, to
interfere with his official duties' That he
at any time had anything to do with the
Boston Globe may indeed appear to be TO
his rliscredit, but it must be borne in mind
that the Globe was once a respectable
newspaper, an allegation that cannot be
sustained in regard to the Standard.

New England.

The Blaine boom is making good head
way in New England. tits conceded that
Blaine is sure of 81 votes at this date,
with fair chance Of considerable increase
when the lists of delegates are completed
In 1876 he had but 30 votes in New Eng
land. Before the Connecticut convention
the opposition to Blaine allowed him no
votes in that State, but since the conven-
ton the opposition concede him 5 votes
and his friends claim Z. Of the 50 votes
which New England has in the Chicago
convention Blaine will probably have a
majority on the first ballot, and on the
second ballot will have nearly the solid
New England vote.
The Grant boom is failure in New
England. If he had any strength in this
section it has disappeared, Blaine is the
favorite. Edmunds will get the compli-
mentary vote Of his State. Massachusetts
will be divided, but eventually the
strength of New England will be solid for
Blaine.

REMARKABLE. John Hunt, of Providence.
X. l., found himself seized with general
dropsy. His body swelled to an enormous
size; he could not lie down, and death
seemed inevitable. His Kidneys were also
badly affected. The services of a renowned
physician were secured, and prescription
made after a thorough examination. Mr..
Hunt began to improve at once, and after a
time restored to perfect health. The
family used the medicine in similar cases
with the same results. They named it
HUNTS REMEDY, the Great Kidney and
Liver Medicine, and it is now sold by all
druggists. Trial size, 70 cents.

Notes by the WAY.

PoRr DEPosIr April 5, 1850.
To the Editor Of the Journal:
This morning We left the city for trip
down into this State. Our ride is over the
Baltimore Central r. X. after leaving Chester
This is one of the oldest cities in Pennsylvania
and one of the most important places for ship
building in the State. 1t is situated on the
Delaware river and very level. We notice
some fine public buildings, among which is
the Naval Academy, a college and several
stone churches, the largest being St. Mich
olas, Catholic, with seating capacity OF
300.
BY the way, all the churches in this part
of the country are built of stone, rough, and
irregular shaped. This place was visited by
fire a few years since but is nearly rebuilt.
As we leave the Delaware the country is
more billy, farmers are blowing, fields look
green and wheat fields more plenty, the grain
standing six inches in height
Wefollow muddy stream that winds among
, the hills, carrying machinery of all kinds.
At Chester Heights we pass the great Metho-
dist Camp Ground. 1t is beautiful grove
and the buildings are fine, but not nearly as
many cottages as there are at kennebec Val
ley.
We now pass into more open country, over
the spot where the memorable battle o1
Brandywne was fought, we also pass over
Chadds Ford.
We reached the Susquehanna river about
noon and proceeded along its bank to this
place. Here we find immense stone quarries
a dark hard stone used for paving and foun.
dation work; it is carried South, mostly.
| The hill from which the stone is quarried
rises hundreds of feet perpendcularly, and
we were not satisfied until we had scaled the
summit, a task that was well repaid in the
| fine view obtained for miles. Iavre De
Grace on the west bank some two miles be
low was in full view and the iron bridge
across the river at that place. Here are
beautiful residences, the finest are built OF
the lightest of the granite found here. This
place is built between an almost perpendicu
lar bluff and the river, and the hill is ter
raced in many places and looks as | imagine
it must IN France and Italy.
Here are caught the finest shad :.they look
just like your Kennebec shad, but are not a,
bony. We bought one for which we paiC
| thirty cents, and when baked found it fine
eating. We also saw an eel some three feet
in length. that had just been caught, that was
being packed to send up the river to tickle
the palate of some epicure.
In this section peach tees are in bloom
but the season is not so far advanced as l ex
pected to find it. We shall move farther
south this week and expect to find it warm
er.
Every one we talk with after finding We
are from Maine, is very decided that Jane.
c. Blaine ought to be our next President
and have not doubt could the people vote
to-day he would be overwhelmingly elected
Are the people to decide who they will have
or are the politicians? S.

AsHiN&ToN, April q.
The term of office of six members of the
Board of Managers of the National Home
for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers has expired.
The managers are elected BY joint resolu-
ton of Congress, and hold office for the term
of six years and until their successors are

men are now before Congress for election to
the six places which are to become vacant.
1t is understood that the House Committee
on Military Adsirs will hold a meeting
next Thursday and decide who shall be rec

learned that two of the persons named will
be General Palmer Of Illinois, and General
Mcclellan. of New Jersey.

Ii is to be hoped that the American Fish
Cultural Association. which counts among
its members many gentlemen who have a Ger
tain weight in shaping legislature in regard
to the fish and game laws of the State OF
New York, will do something tending toward
the preservation Of the lobster. The case
stands in this way. Excessive lobster-flsling
on the coast of Maine and Mass. reduced the
value of these crustaceans to such degree,
both as TO size and quality, that many lmpor-
tant canneries had to be abandoned. lndlf-
ferent as to the size of the lobster. those OF
all weights and proportions were consumed
A law was then passed in both of these States
limiting the size of the lobster which could
be caught or sold. This limit of size was
IO1 inches, exclusive of length of claws OF
feelers. 1t was evident that by this mean.
the HOLSTERS would have chance to breed
and in time, be plentiful again. Already IN
Maine and Massachusetts this law has pro-
duced certain improvement in the size o.
the lobster But dishonest fishermen from
these states, finding a market in New York,
send here those understood Holsters which
they cannot sell at home. These Holsters ART
not only indifferent food, but are positively
unwholeseme. What is wanted is that ou
Legislature should frame precisely the sam'
set of laws for New York as exist in Main,
or Massachusetts, and infiict penalty of s.
or $40 on any one exposing for sale lobster,
smaller than 104 inches. In this way a meta
rious business might be stOpped.-NeW Io,l

Of delegates to Chicago in Rhode

How the GarcclOn Councillors
Managed to Draw Double Mile

From the Bangor Wing and Courier.
The Legislature of 1879 convened on the
first day of January and adjourned on the
9Th day Of March, and the Legislative session
of the Council should have been continued
to the same time. TO do this, however,
would give them but single mileage, so to Sc
cure double mileage they made up their pay
roll to Feb 2Sh, amounting, at the rate of
$3.50 to each member and the usual mileage
to Sl,2l9. They still continued in session.
l, 4, 5, 6 and :, and made up their pay
roll for the second session commencing the
9th day of March, and ending on the Sth day
Of March," charging for their time at 50 90
per day and mileage thus charging mileage
twice for the same attendance.
This interesting process having answered
the purpose of those by whom it was invented
so satisfactorily they had recourse to it on
two other occasions. The pay roll for the
eleventh session of the Council is made up
from the 18th day of November to the 22d
day of November. six days time and mileage.
The pay roll of the twelfth session com
menced on the Goth day of November and
ended on the Goth day of December and the
pay roll of the thirteenth session began on
the 22d day of December and ended on the
3lst Of December. From these three paw
rolls it would appear that there were three
distinct sessions of the Council, and in fact
mileage was drawn for each of the three. but
in point of fact the session was continuous
one, or SO far continuous as could be with the
Intervention of Sundays. The records show
that instead of the eleventh session being
ended on the 22d of November Saturday it
was in session on Monday oath. and Tuesday
18th, although the pay roll claims that the
twelfth session commenced on Wednesday
the 26th. Again. the twelfth session is
claimed to have closed on December 20th.
and the thirteenth to have begun on Deem
Der 22d. while the fact is that December goth
Saturday and the 22nd Monday. and
three miieages were thus charged instead of
one. the session having been. in fact, contin-
uous from November 18th to December 3lst
In order to make it appear that there was an
interval between the sessions, the Councillors
have not put in their per diem for those days
when they were actually in session. the gain
in mileage being greater than the loss in per
diem
Perhaps Mr.. Councillor Parker, who affects
to be in such readiness to be put upon the
witness stand, can explain how he was able
to make three hundred and seventy-f five miles
of travel between November I'D and Novem-
Der oath, and be present in Augusta upon
both those days. Whether he did actually
travel that distance we leave our readers to
judge, but that he received SIS for doing so.
