THE MAINE MIDDLE.

A more completely mixed political situa- ton than exists in Maine could hardly be oontrived. The action of the Republicans in organizing another Legislature was taken be- cause they were confident that no opinion of the court could be asked for by General Chamberlain; there was no Governor to put the questions, and the plan as adopted seemed the only one practicable. The ques- Hons that will be submitted to the court have not, at this writing, been made public, but whatever they are and whatever the answers to them, it is not easy to see any really satis- factory way out of the muddle unless the fu- sionists get tired of the struggle and consent to an organization that shall include those elected according to the opinion of the court. Whether they will ever do this remains to be seen. Yesterday it was evident that they did not know what to do, though 1t is stated that they agreed upon line of action in the even- ing. The court is expected to convene at Augusta to-day.
 MT. White, accused of bribing two of the fusionists, very properly refuses to appear before their illegal investigating committee.

A Peculiar Prob0scis.

Remarkable Surgical operation at
 Bellevue HOspitaI-TransfOrm the
 Finger of a Man's Hand into a Nose.
 From the New York Herald.l
 In one of the wards of Bellevue Hospital, lying prostrate on 8 cot with his left hand covering his face, 8 Herald reporter Monday saw patient who is there for the purpose of growing new nose. His name is Thomas Coulter, and he is a New Jerseyman by birth. In the hospital he is universally known as "Tommy." At the present time he is about twenty two years old, and he is young man of splendid physique and excellent general health. When he was about ten years of age Tommy was struck by 8 stick in the hands of @ companion, and the nose with which nature had provided him sustained serious injury Being of pugilistic turn of mind his proboscis afterward came in contact with other peoples fists, and the results were severe bruises on sundry occasions. Owing to the exceptionally bad treatment to which Tommy's nasal organ was subjected it became ulcerated inside, sometimes bled profusely, and finally was seized by disease of most malignant type, known as lupoid-a malady closely related to cancer, which destroys every tissue with which it comes in contact while it is in active operation. The consequence was that Tommy's nose was entirely destroyed, and ap- parently there was no hope that he would ever have another to come in contact with other mems fves.
 HOW TOMMY LOST HIS NOSE.
 Tommy, however, did not give up hope About two years ago, when the disease was in its most malignant stage, and long after g chance of saving even g part of the original organ had gone by he went to Bellevue Hos pital for treatment. The progress of the dis ease was arrested, and Tommy recovered, but his face was wofuIly disfgured. In the most prominent part of his countenance there was depression instead of a protuberance, and all that was left of his smelIer was the open ings of the nostrils. After the cure was eff fected, and the wounded part of the face healed up, scar formed, and being of unusu- al size 1t contracted violently. The conse- quence of this contraction was made apparent in the eyelids, the lower lids being subjected to g turning out or inversion, which exposed the mucous membrane of the eye. To re- lieye the tension of the face g plastic opera ton was performed about 8 year ago, this ope- ration proving so successful that the eyes were restored nearly to their normal condi-

From Chambers .Journa1,l
 A member of Parliament suffered from a painful eruption of the feet, traced at last to some fashionable socks, which were laid aside, with the result of ending his complaint. Some California miners died from the effects of poisoning produced by wearing boots lined with bright green flannel, the color in this case being "ScheeIes green" well-known arsenical compound. A tradesman suffered from wearing bright maroon flannel shirt. Paper collars glazed and stiffened with sized whitehead, and containing arsenic, have pro duced serious illness and the same results have followed the wearing of hats lined with material containing arsenic, and from gloves and coat-sleeves similarly treated Five or six persons In household were rendered sud- denly i'll by the matter exhaled from chintz window curtains and bed -drapery, and green Venetian blinds have been known in hot sum mer weather to give of particles of arsenic with deleterious effect. The green cloth lin ing of perambulator has affected it's young occupants, and the color from the green gas- shades in composing-room of 8 printing office has produced illness among the com positors. In the kitchen, arsenic has now and then been met with, when used to impart a green hue to dishes such as blanc -mange. In one case gentleman was poisoned by par taking of dish innocently enough colored by an srsenical preparation which had been mistaken by the cook for an extract of spinach. And even in the exercise of the perfumers art, 1t behooves us to be on our guard against using preparations for the hair colored green by some compound of this substance. We thus find that arsenic is most widely ditfused around us, from the facility, and, above all, from the cheapness with which beautiful pigment and fayorite hue can be produced through it's aid. It is undoubtedly in the form of color in wall papers that arsenic most frequently meets us. In paper staining more than one compound of arsenic is used, and in the manufacture of the beautiful aniline dyes, so extensively used, arsenic is also largely em- ployed. One notable feature of this substance, and one also which gives it g special power of affecting us to our detriment, is the re- markable ease with which it becomes volatile. It may be readily difused in the form of gas or minute solid particles, and is thus brought into close contact with us in our homes. Green is 8 very pretty color on walls, but we would say, take care of it.

The negroes of North Carolina show no signs of losing their desire to live in better place. Three thousand have recently gone South to work in the turpentine forests of other States; the Indiana fever seems to in crease instead of dying out, and the Raleigh Observer reports that circulars from Ohio are being distributed representing that 2O,0O0 colored laborers are wanted in that State at $2O 8 month. There are also the beginnings of the craze in Louisiana and Alabama.
 The Chicago grain trade Is suffering from a plethora. Prices had been forced up by specuIators, and supply stimulated to such an extent that over fourseen million bushels are now in the Chicago elevators. The rail roads are refusing to accept any more grain because the storage room is all used up, and the expediency of building more elevators is being discussed. The trouble is that the Liverpool quotations leave us no margin for shipment at present, and the operators are holding on for rise.

through the country for the purpose of raising the necessary funds for prosecuting his case.
 Reviewing the lawless condition of society in Mississippi the Vicksburg Herald asserts that the system of dealing with criminals there s'is totally, ruinously inefficient" and that 'sthe attempts to punish violence In the State are costly, miserable farces." It thinks that ''the trouble lies in the juries. In many cases the petit juries fail to perform their duty. Therefore petit juries must be selected from the best material to be had. The grand juries are thus selected and they do very well. And no good citizens must be excused from jury service if they can swear they will render just verdicts according to the law and the evidence P This is what the Herald says and 1t deserves credit for saying it. But Governor Stone in his message takes no notice of the murder of Dixon in Yazoo county. Instead he speaks of the peace and order which have prevailed in the State for the past two years, and com mends the promptness and vigor with which judges, district attorneys and other officials have enforced the laws.
 In addition to the ralIroao rom the oalt Lake to Portland, Oregon, now under partial construction, itis purposed to build standard gauge railroad from Green River city or some point on the Pacific railroad in Wyoming to Steilaooom, the most southerly point on Puget Sound The road, when built, wil open a new country as well as form another connect ing link with the Pacific ocean. The 'O Oeei dental and Oriental Railroad and Steamship Company" Is in the hands of Boston gentle men, and their articles of incorporation, to- gether with profile maps are on file at Stella coon and the Interior department, Washing ton. They have organized under TeIritc- rial charter and the Congressional act of March 3, 1875. With regard to the future of this road it is argued that it will save about fifteen hundred miles between New York and Shanghae, or one hundred hours of steamirg There can be no doubt that the Puget Sound region, in every natural respect one of the most opulent and promising sections of the country, has a great future before it.. At tempts are now mnde to reach it by the Northern Pacific, by land and water route from San Francisco, and by two railways run ming in a northwesterly direction from the present Pacific road.
