Mains,s Supreme Court Decides Every
Question In favor Of the Position
TAKEN by the Republicans OF the
state.
Bangor, Jan. 15.-The following docu.
ment will be forwarded by the supreme
judicial court tomorrow morning, ad.
dressed to the Hon. james A. Locke, pre-
sident of the senate, aud the Hon. George
e. Weeks, speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives
Bangor, Ne, Jan. 16,-The undersigned,
justices of the supreme COURT have the
honor to submit the following answers to
the interrogatories proposed and based on
the accompanying statement of facts :
Question .1.-Answer. An election has
been hadsby the electors of this state. The
rights of the several persons voted for de-
ponds upon the votes cast IN accordance
with the constitution and laws of the
states. 1t vas the duty of the governor
and council thus to declare it.. Any other
declaration 10 unauthorized and void.
The governor and council examined the
returns and undertook to declare the result
as appeared by the returns. Various
questions involving the true construction
of the constitution and statutes relating
thereto arose, and the governor by virtue Of
his constitutional %prerogative. called on
the court for Its opinion upon the ques.
tions proponnded BY the provisions of the
constitution. The court was required
to expound and conatrue the provisions
Of the constitution aud statutes involved.
It gave . full answer to these questions.
The opinion Of the court was thus obtained
in n of the modes provided in the con-
stitution for IN authoritative determi
nation of important questions of Law. The
law thus determined is a conclusive guide
Of the governor and council in the
performance of their ministerial duties.
Any action OF their part in determining
the vote % it appears BY the returns in vic.
lation of the provision of the con .titution
and law thus declared, is q usurpation of
authority and mus be held void. 1t only
remains to apply those principles to the
subjects embraced in the questions pro-
pounded. The governor and council have
no right to summon a person to attend and
take his seat in the senate or house of re-
presentatives who by the returns before
them vas not voted for, but was defeated.
To summons q person for whom no votes
had been cast would be a deliberate viola
ton of official duty. To summons those
whom the returns show we're not elected
would beequallv sucha violation. Either
would be intruders without right into the
legislative body. The summonses thus
given would be void, as in excess of any
powers conferred by the constitution. Grant

The greatest trouble which ensues
from placing sensational literature in
the hands of children is the false idea Of
life which it produces. Many children
every year, after reading those thrilling
adventures and glowing descriptions OF
the golden West" have become dis
satisfied with the tame and seemingly
uneventful school life, and have left
their homes TO seek their fortunes and
follow their hero. Most of these de-
luded fortune-hunters find their mistake
and ike the prodigal return, but with
the taste for good reading impaired.
Such literature should not be placed
within the reach Of children. There are
plenty Of good, useful books OF moral
tone that are suitable, pleasing and st
the same time instructive. History is
now gotten up ia such a pleasant sly e
that it is 8 source OF amusement as well
as instructive to read il. If novels must
be read land none can deny that good
novel occasionally does no harm his
toricaI are preferable to those whose
chief merit seems % be the excitement
they may produce and the false ideas OF
life they may create. Every piece a
child reads should contain q grain OF
truth, either moral, philosophical, po-
iitical or historical, that it may spring
up and bear some fruit of usefulness.
Il is quite important, TOO, that the
youth should be coaversant with the
topics OF the day. which may be found in
the leading papers. No one can b. con-
sidered well read who knows nothing of
the literature of the times.

Hogs Killing a Jaguar.

The wild hogs of South America are
very savage. and when aroused know no
fear. One night q hungry party OF ex-
plorers, campet in a Brazilian forest.
heard an uproar OF grunting, squeaking
and clashing of tusks.
Pigs" exclaimed all, with joyful
ness: now We'll have a dinnerr'
Snatching heir guns, they crept eau
tiously toward the sounds. Coming TO
the edge of clearing, they saw a iaguar
standing on an ant hill, about five fe t
from the ground. Surrounding him
were fifty or sixty wild hogs, furious in
their efforts to get at their enemy. The
jagusr. with his tail stuck wei 10 In
the air, and his legs close together,
stood balancing himself on the hillock.
As the Infatuated pigs threatened one
side or the other. he would turn around
and face them. He was evidently IN
easy, and only waited for a cnance to
make rush and escape. In moment
of forgetfulness, the jaguar slightly
dropped his tail. Instantly pig seized
it and pulled; then another, and and
other, and the least was dragged from
his perch to the ground. The battle was
terrible. The yellow body of the jaguar
rose up above the grunting, squealing
mass OF pigs, and his powerful jaws
struck deadly blows. Then he fell-the
uproar subsidized, and the herd dispersed.
The party of explorers walked to the
battle ground Fourteen dead pigs were
lying on the field, but no jsguar or its
remains we're seen. Presently one of
the party, picking up fragment of
something, exclaimed:
Here's the tigerr'
1t was bit of the jaguar's skin. he
had been torn to pieces and devoured By
the savage hogs.
