The Springfield Republican says;
"lf New England desires to count for
anything at the Republican national
convention. she must unite on one
man and push him heartily for the
nomination As Senator Edmunds
would be the strongest Republican
candidate at the polls in New England,
SO he could come nearer than any
body else to securing a solid delegation
to the convention, if the best men and
influences come to the front. Vermont
is already safe for him, good judges
think that he could beat Blaine in New
Hampshire in spite Of Bill Chandler,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con.
neeticut ought to cordially join in the
movement, and as for Maine, she
could be left to east her vote for Blaine
without hurting the moral effect GER
tain to be produced by the union Of
five New England States on an unex
ceptionable candidate,

THE THIRD TERM CRY.

The plain purpose OF this whole
absurd agitation about the alleged
third term question is to prevent, if
possible, the candidacy of Gen Grant,
because those who are opposed to the
party with whose achievements his
name is SO conspicuously associated
"s'-- 49, 49, i,~I.>.Ie.. .. ,o7t IN iIlrr 10
great that he could not be defeated at
the polls. When they leave the misty
region Of precedent and the assumed
example of the fathers, they pirate OF
dangers which, as we have shown, if
they exist at all, should make us fear
ever to elect any President, But no
sensible person really believes that any
man in the Presidential chair could so
use the power intrusted to him as to
defeat the will of the American people.
If any man does believe this, then is he
justified in despairing of the Republic,
and he it is that should be expected to
seek security in stronger government
The fact is, the people are so Jealous
of their sovereignty that the least show
Of a disposition on the part of a Presi-
dent to seize a power that does not be-
long to him, or any attempt to prosti-
tute his Office to serve his own ambi-
ton, would insure his defeat There
is no man in the nation SO strong in
his own character or in popular conf
dence as TO be an exception. When
Gen Grant was in office, the bare sug-
gestion of such possibility, wildly
improbable rs was the chance of its re-
alization, united with more valid
causes Of dissatisfaction, was sufficient
to beget such rash and over hasty
declarations as that contained in the
Springer resolution and in the plat
forms Of o few state conventions,
which however applied only to the
reelection of one already in possession
of the office Even the imaginary
peril then suggested is wanting when
VIC JlOliOSCNl IL Otb vi Ol1Ct,
and has no more power or influence
then legitimately belongs to his
character and career. And when we
consider that he is, and has ever boon,
so far as any outward act or effort
can testify, one Of the most unambi-
tious ofmen, and makes his acceptance
Of any Office dependent entirely on
his being summoned to it by the I'M
mistakeable choice of the people, the
cutlery that is made appears us the
most lamentable display of political
idiocy that could be easily conceived
in the widest burlesque. Gen Grant,
in connection with his rare qualities,
has displayed some glaring faults,
which may or may not have been
lessened by experience. lie was not an
ideal President he may not now be
an ideal candidate. But the simple
question is, whether with his virtues
and his faults, which have all been
subjected to the most searching
scrutiny in tie fun blaze Of publicity
he is the choice Of the American people
to be their President again. If he is
they have an undoubted right to the
choice. If the republican party deem,
that, all things considered, he would
best represent its principles and its
purposes, and give it the strongest
assurance of being able to carry them
into effect, it has right to make him
its candidate, and will not be deferred
by Quixotic exhibitions OF forensic tilt

ANNUAL TOWN MEETING.

We publish in another column
the call for the annual town meeting.
We would be glad to have chat
with our readers who are interested |
in our town matters, and as all towns
have common interest, and exercise
Il like care, or ought to, over the
matters that pertain to each, what
might be said, if of any interest or
benefit, would be general, OF course
these meetings are not called for
controversy, for little rivalry for
small Offices, nor for speculative
purposes but it is supposed to be an
occasion on which the great families
1--WE say great in a comparative sense
of course) sit down, each member
having q common interest, and all
should have a feeling that no one
part of the system should war
against any other part, bus each
should endeavor to see how the
whole system can best work and best
agree. Foremost Of ali our interests
iSthat Of education. Qfcour5e there
was diversity of opinion in our
town IS to the propriety Of the
change from district to town systems.
II e may be pardoned perhaps if We
suggest that the great Improvement
since our change in our educational
advantages IS most satisfactorily :;
and therefore, ought we not in faith
and confidence aid in the experiment
which thus far has brought US such
manifest improvement Aud would
it not be idle to be captious about
individual opinions, OF be stingy in
respect to our action in reference to
the seventh article in the warning
We take these subjects Of the meet
ing not in their order, but as they
occurto us while hastily writing. OF
The election Of officers we have moth
ing to say, because the works of the
,l,r =. lie -......,
and a general content seems to pre-
vail in town, and all seem to feel
that the clouds Of these hard times
are quietly lifting away and moving
us as individuals and towns up to a
more hopeful situation Therefore
our town meeting ought to be quiet,
careful, thoughtful and generous
without extravaganza. OF the
eighth and ninth articles in the warn.
ing VIC have said all that we per
haps ought, in reference to an event
Of a recent occurrence. We arc
aware that the provisions for safety
therein suggested would be most
readily available at the point where
they would be located, but Of course
they would belong to the town anG
the most remote portion of it would
get the benefit especially Of the
provisions suggested in the eighth
article, # not quite as quickly, still
where they were most required anC
where the inhabitants are most de
fencele8s. Bat We did not start ou
to make speech in town meeting
and perhaps We had better close a.
We began, with this addition Lee
us be generous with all appropria
tons for tho comfort, convenience
aud safety Of the whole town, anC
let US not debate too Selfshly as t
whether one part will be mos
benefited by that which in its ma
turo will necessarily result in tn,
common good Of US all as individual
and families. But having done this
let us be careful that 40 wild, cx
travagant or useless appropriation bt
made.

When he went to America, almost
the first question asked him was.
"What do you think of our institu-
tiOns ?" and in very short time he
gave the answer that he thought the
public libraries the best they had. and
their newspapers the worst. Their
newspapers were far below those in
England, because they were filled with
all kinds of ridiculous nonsense and
private tittle-tattle, which we do not
find in the best English journals.-pean

led through the crowded rooms. "Think
there's only one thing you need now,'
said the plain spoken brute. "And

brought on by rubbing her mother,
who was taken sick before retiring,
left her imagination in a temporarily
unsettled condition, and being suddenly
aroused by Mrs. Ward getting up tow
ard morning when sleep is easily brOk-
en-, she thrust the pistol at the unfOr-
tunate woman's head and fired. But
then there is the second bullet to ac-
count for, though the revolver having
such IA strong spring that a strong
thumb was necessary to cock it may be
explained by the fact that the girls
fingers would naturally be strong from
constant piano practice. There is no
known motive whatever for deliberate
murder, us the relations between moth
er and daughter were most cordial, and
they were never known to quarrel, al
though the old lady was sometimes
pettish. The daughter told a straight
forward story at the Jail, but broke
down when speaking of her MOI theirs
burial, crying, 'Don't let them bury
my mother till can see her; | couldn't
bear that" and then she sObbed in
great distress.
Mrs. Ward left her husband Edward
Ward in the West IL years ago and
sued for divorce on learning that he
had married Il girl there to save him
self from the consequences of his init
macy with her. Ward shortly after
ward shot himself The widow then
taught in the Cambridge public schools,
subsequently taking private schools,
the girl assisting at piano instruction,
until her funds failed her, when they
went to Boston, where they lived a
sort OF hand-tO-mouth existence, being
at the time of the tragedy much strait
ened. The Hamilton street building
had eight tenants, who testified to the
couples eccentric character but peace
able disposition, and that they had nc
particular callers except the young man
to whom the girl was engaged. They
were accustomed to indulge in late
suppeIs, and on occasions seemed to be
having a good time, though not so as
to annoy the other dodgers.
Still later Investigations make it pos
slble that only one pistol bullet was
fired in the tragedy by which Mrs
Ward lost her life. 1t is claimed tina
the combined weight of the pieces %
lead found in the head and on tn,
floor, with that of the bits found adher
ing to the skull, equals the weight of
ball of the calibre of the pistol used
This suggests that the bullet entere,
back of the ear but split against tin
skull, part entering the brain, and tn
other piece passing between the ski
and bone to the forehead, where
came out. There have been instance
of such curved shooting before. Thi
might revive the suicide theory, par
ticularly as two months ago Mrs. War
attempted suicide by taking laudanum
but was discovered and saved by he
daughter. However, the Boston off
cials now consider suicide entirely Ou
of the question. Miss Helen receive
much attention at the Jail, among he
visitors being Gen. Banks and ex-May
or Allen of Cambridge. Not few la,

uments of Popes and cardinals designed
by Ribera and Bernini; and San An
drea near the CorsO has very tasteful
bit of work by Miss Hosmer of America.
The most noticeable characteristic of
the art element in the churches of Rome
is, next to their architectural form,
their fine mosaics. The oldest of these
mosaics, composed entirely of glass
cubes, is to be seen in San Pudenziana,
while those in San Cosma DamianO
near the Forum are called the most
beautiful. In st. Peters, (where some
OF the finest specimens are seen,) the
few paintings still there are to be re-
placed by mosaics. st. Paul's, just out
side the city walls, and next to St.
Peters the costliest church in Rome,
has fine representations of Christ and
the apostles, and series of medallion
portraits of the popes from the begin
ming till now, ali in mosaic. Each of
these medallions is five feet in diane
finest oil paintings outside the Vatican.
VI these-to mention only few-the
Rospigliosi has Guido Reni's Aurora
the Barberini, the Beatrice Cenci by
the same hand and the Fornarina by
Raphael the Borghese, Raphael's En-
tombment, CorreggiO's Danae, and Ii
tian's Sacred and Profane Love; while
the Doria and other galleries have Sec
ond and third rate pictures of all the
different European schools.
All the larger cities of Italy have
more or less public squares, generally
enclosed, wholly or partly, by palatia
residences, and adorned by columns
and monuments, but no other city has
so many fine fountains nor so abundant
supply OF water as Rome. If one il
weary of church and palace, of ruini
and narrow streets, of the music of the
CoiOnna, or Of the surging crowd whicl
of an evening always fills the Corso, lie
him linger at the Fountain of tn,
Trevi and listen to the ceaseless mur
muir of its falling waters. He will res
and be reminded, too, that it is not il
the power of man either to provide o.
take away that which best supplies oul
needs, revives our energies, and salts
ties our noblest aspirations. Of the
eternal City" of the Caesars there il
left but its shadow there is only one
Eternal, the Eternal Life.
