THR Society Islands were formally
annexed TO the French Republic on
the 2eth of June. BY this move
the French obtained an area of 666
square miles of territory, occupied
by $4,000 inhabitants. The change
is not a violent one, for the French
have protected and controlled the
Islands for thirty years.

After considering our wonderful
past growth, our solid present and
our brightffuturs, the editor OF the
Lewiston "Teiler" says "With this
prospect ahead, can any sane man
say, that the people of Washington
were premature in providing them
selves with a conptitution under
which fhey may urge their admission
as full fledged States II is the
hight Of nonsense to say that her
people, are incapable of supporting
the burdens Of a State government.
Her great natural resources, exceed
ing those Of almost any other State
in the Union, combined with the en-
ergy of her population, composed of
the more hardy and energetic from
all the older States, entirely pre-
clpdes the opinion that she will suf
fer by reason of her assuming State
hood. There is no reason that can in
justice be urged by Congress against
her admission at the next session, and
with proper Delegate from Wash.

BEWILDERINg STATISTICS.

The Paris Eoltdire has recently compiled
an interesting statement Of the comparative
national debts and military expenditures OF
European governments for 1865 and 1879.
From this 1t appears that while Germany in
1865 made both ends meet with $155,0o0, 900,
che now finds 1t difficult to get along with
$3.50 100000. France at present requires about
$685. 100000, and Russia s535,ooo,oo0. 1t Is
stated that the total annual expenditures OF
Europe have advanced since 1865 from 81. 000,-
100000 to nearly 100000 600. A similar
ratio OF increase Is visible In the national
debts OF the different European States. Rus
sia's debt has increased from 81 ,04o 0ooO 900 to

FRANCE AND GERMANY.

Notwithstanding all the assurances sent
forth from the German capital relative to the
peaceful relations OF that country with
France. there Is no denying the fact that the
latters actions arc very closely and jealously
watched from across the Rhine. The Ger
mans are not oblivous to the fact that since
the peace OF Frankfort there has prevailed
among the French leaders but one desire. and
that is to "get even" with their ancient enemy
at the first opportunity which may present
Itself Even the repeated assurances of the
French government are not sufficient to allay
these suspicious, and German statesmen, who
earnestly and sincerely desire peace between
the two countries, are now only able to con-
sole themselves with the reflection that they
have averted the clash OF arms from year to
year, without permanently settling or re-
moving the national antipathies. The new
French Cabinet. 1t Is said, ID particularly mis-
trusted by the Germans. and M. dc FreycInet
Is regarded as merely the creature OF Gam
beta. 1t would thus seem that while the re-
lations of the two governments are cordial
and apparently based upon q mutually satls-
factory understanding the undercurrent Is
beginning to cause alarm. It Is also evident
that the rulers In both countries are begin
ming to realize the fact that In future the war
making power Is likely to be assumed by the
people, and that those In high positions must
respect the new order Of things II they expect
to continue In office.

FAMILIAR QUOTATION.

In these latter days the beauties Of Words
worth are coming to be more and more ap-
precated, and the poems Of that great master
are every day laid under contribution by
writer's and orators who arc deslrous Of be-
decking their flights Of fancy or Of rendering
their rhetoric ornate with poetic gems Of
'purest ray SERENE" 1t is not always, how
ever. that the bard is quoted accurately. and
IA to change is always TO mar the beauty Of
Wordaworths lines, we were surprised the
other day on reading sermon Of a ripe sehoI-
at and eloquent divine. delivered on the first
instant, to find the following:
The ordinary man only sees what he sees
with his two eyes. The man OF genius sees
The light that never was on sea or shore,
The glory aud the aplendoE Of u dream"
The gentleman not only changes the Ian
guage Of the poet. but writes two lines that
never were, go far az we know, married before.
The fret line, which when correctly rendered,
reads,
THE light that never was on sea or land"
Ia found In "Elegaic Stanzas," suggested by
d picture OF peele Castle In u storm. painted
by Sir George Beaumont" while the second
line which should read:
THE glory and the freshness OF dream"
Ia the fifth Of the first stanza In the famous
and exquisite ode, "Intimations OF Immor
taIlty from KeCollectlons OF Early Child
hood"
We mention the error not In any spirit Of
oaptiousness or hypercriticlsm, but merely
because the lines which are so intrinseally
beautiful have often been misquoted of late,
and because too comparatively few OF those
who use them know just where they are
from. Both the poems referred to are In
Wordsworth's best STYLE and for the benefit
OF those who are unfamiliar with the works
OF the great bard, we quote two verses from
the elegy:
"Ahl then, II mine had been the painters hand
To express what there | saw; and add the
gl am
The fight that never was. on sea or land.
The cons ecration and the poets dream:
would have painted thee, thou hoary pile.
Amid the world how different from this
d ,Hide n aea that could not cease to smile:
On tranquil land. beneath sky Of bliss"
The verse III the Ode on Immortality, In
which the second line occurs, is as follows:
There was a time when meadow. grove and
stream.
The earth and every common sight
To me did seem
AppRreled In celestial light.
Tho glory and the freshness Of dream
1t is not now ms It has been OF yore:
Turn wheresoeer may.

THAT OLD NUISANCE.

In our local columns will be found an ac-
count of n trip over tho New Canal
taken yesterday by Joint committee
of the Legislature on the invitation OF
the representative OF the leeaee. Accom-
panynR the committee were Mr.. Dun
can T. kenner, the agent OF the lessee sew
eral members of the press and few other
gentlemen. all OF whom took passage on n
ANAL tughoat and proceeded to lnspect what
IL, perhaps. In one sense at least. the most
extraordinary artificial waterway III the
country. II anybody has ever before seen. In
any part Of the United Statee. a canal SO con-
spleuously unsujted to the purposes for
which IL is intended, 80 notoriously misman-
aged and In such a palpable condition Of gen
eral dilapidation the fact has escaped our
knowledge; nor do we believe that any other
such fraud and nuisance would be permit
ted to exist In any other State than
our own any longer than 1t would
take an indignant Legislature to forfeit the
lease under which the gross wrongs to tho
public we're perpetrated The invitation to
inepect the canal. having come from the
agent Of the lessee the presumption is that
everything had been put in readiness that
the canal had been made to assume holiday
appearance. and the committee was to be con-
WINGED OFFICIALLY and arRumentatively that
all the complaints which have been made by
the people and the press were unfounded, and
that instead Of water course that is a dis
grace to the State, the canal is very hand
some aud useful artery of commerce. This
very reasonable superstition. however. was
not sustained to any very alarming extent,
for the committee being endowed with eyes
and reasoning faculties. could not fail to be
surprised at the actual condition Of affairs
which were disclosed upon the trip.
The wretched, tumbie-down condition of
the wharyes, the clogged up condition Of the
basins. the lack Of n proper depth Of water.
the total absence Of many stipulated improve
ments, the bar at the mouth of the canal, the
many and dangerous distractions to naviga-
ton. the paucity Of shells on the shell road
and the manner In which the propeller of the
little tug found the bottom, must have all i'm
pressed themselves upon the memory OF the
gentlemen OF the committee and aroused
their amazement.
When the committee. after having seen
what they have seen, come to examine close
~ the terms Of the lease and the various acts
Of the Legislature under which the canal has
been run. they cannot fail to be filled with
amazement that such a condition of affairs
should have been permitted to exist for years
without the delinquent being brought to
book, and made to disgorge the vast sums Of
money which are unquestionably due the
State for back rentals. This il merely a busi-
ness matter, and should be looked at from a
business standpoint. The lessee from time to
time obtained from the State large conees-
sions, upon the solemn promise and engage
ment to perform certain works Of improve
ment, which Improvements have not been
made. The lessee having failed to comply
