Judge Tourgee, as we'll as being
clever writer, understands we'll the
philosophy of striking while the iron
is hot. He is making hay while the
.un shines. His sun is the great poll
tioal question now agitsting the
country concerning affairs in the
south. After the election a cloud
will hide that Eun, and it ia hoped
forever. In the meantime the author
of the present volume is driving his
pen at lively speed, to take advantage
OF the popular feeling and popular
prejudices aroused by the exciting
campaign. His harvest will soon be
over, unless ne turns his attention to
more rational literature. and en-
ploys bis ability in direction other
than political. His previous volume,
"a FOOLS Errand," has already
reached q sale Of more than 100, 600
copiss, and though Bricks Without
Straw" has a shorter season in which
to run. the author and publishers
will not fail 10 receive a handsome
reward for their venture. Il purports
to be a story OF colored life in the
south, but is written from the radical
republican standpoint. The author
is evidently q negro worshipper, ss
has appeared in bis previous writings.
Nimbus, negro so black that his
name was suggested to his owner,
Col. Potem DeSmit, by bis face, is the
hero. Ninbus is q faithful. indus-
trious darkey, and his master puts
him in charge of gang of men, st
work on confederate Notifications.
But Nimbus has ideas of freedom,
escapes to the Union lines, becomes s
soldier, serves through the war, and
at its close has several hundred dollars
in cash. Returning to the south he
buys 200 acres OF land from his for
mer owner, and by hard work and
industry is sooD on the high road to
wealth. The author, in the creation
of the character, apparently had for
bis object the overcoming OF the idea
that the negro has no capacity
for achieving success when left
to himself. Nimbus he makes
out TO be competent, shreWd
and enterprising; indeed, q man
possessing more of the quail
ties and characteristics which lead 10
success, than the better class oil
whites. 1t is true, Judge Tourgee
surrounds his hero with low, ignorant
blacks, and thereby admits that
Nimbus ia an exception to the dar
kies generally. Now the snimus cl

The case of government vs. Sam Lamb
and Eli Darvau of Waterville, for breaking
and entering the store of j. w. Bassett of
Winslow on the night of the 9Th of February
and purloining, among other things, key to
mail bag, was tried before United States
Commissioner J. f. Badger. yesterday after
noon. District Attorney w. F. Lunt of
Portland, conducted the case for the govern
ment, and J. II. Potter and Lorenzo d. Car
yer for the defence. Lamb, young Zero, and
French Canadian named Darvau, were the
trio who were concerned in the robbery of
Mr. Bassett's store. Young Zero turned
States evidence, and told very straightfor-
ward story duplicating Darvau and Lamb as
Zero alleges that Darvau, Lamb and him
self entered the store, and rifled the money
drawer, and took besides various articles. The
Winslow postoffice was kept in this store.
Zero SAYS that Lamb threatened to kill him if
he exposed them. The penalty for
stealing key to mail bag is Imprisonment
with hard labor not more than ten years. The
defence adopted was to attempt to prove
Lamb and Darvau alibis. A portion of the
Canadian population of Waterville had a
dance on February 9th, 1.-THE night in which
the robbery was committed and there were
halfa-dozen of their cOmpatriots on the
stand to testify to their being present at this
dance until after midnight. The Frenchmen
told their story in flippant way, and then
Lamb was put on the stand. Lamb runs

that the bar ber's trade is his ''best holt" In
his testimony Zero asserted that. it was
bright moonlight night when the robbery was
committed, but an almanac produced by
defendants lawyer shows that the moon did
not rise until 43O that morning.-long after
the burglary was committed. Lamb and Zero
were put under 81 900 bonds to appear at the

inst. Not being able to furnish sureties> they
were committed to Jail.
