VICE.
lucy Hooper's Paris letter.

lHuOy AioOPcE 1dIlS 1eLIeT.l
called at Tiffany's the other day to have
some jew-lry repaired, and had the pleasure
OF inspecting the magnificent centre-piece in
solid silver, intended for Mrs. j. W. Mackay
and made Of silver from the Bonanza mines.
This colossal piece completes the grand Dime
service manufactured by Messrs. Tiffany g.
Co. for that lady, the remainder of the set
having been exhibited by the firm at the Paris
Exposition. AS the fair owner desired, the
ertire set is wholly American in every respect,
the design, the metal, the workmanship being
all OF native origin. This just-completed cen.
tre-piece is OF an oblong form and is in two
divisions. The lowest one has silver gilt
tray for flowers. resting on sloping sides of
looking ass, which are set on an elaborate
silver framework OF floral design. At one side
on the lookiDg-glass is Mrs. Mackay's mono
gram In silver letters. The upper division rests
on elephants heads, six on T ither side the
tips of the trunks touching the flowers of the
framework below. This upper division is set in
broad band of massive silver, elaborately
wrought in rich floral devices in an Oriental
style. 1t consists of a second tray of flowers
surrounded with sockets for candles The
whole is surmounted by four-branch candle
laorum OF small size. The richness of the
workmanship and its delicate elaboration ara
beyond all praise. The style of the whole is
thoroughly Eastern in its character, recalling
some OF the finest pieces of silver among the
Indian magni6cences of the presents offered
to the Prince of Wales during his travels in
India, and and exh ibited at the Universal EXPOSE
ton of 1878. The elephants heads in particu-
lar are most beautifully wrought. The char
scteristic corrugation of the skin of the fore
head and trunk is admirably reproduced, as
are also the various details of the rich taselled
and embroidered head stalls wherewith the
heads are adorned The whole structure.
wnich rests upon twelve elephants feet in sill
vef, Is OF immense weight and will tax the
strength of two men to lift it.

The Argus and Mr.. Dickey's Case.

AUGUSTA, NOV. 10.
To the Editor of the Press:
Some twenty-five years ago, when the edi-
torial excursion party penetrated the wilds of
Aroostook in order TO open up the advantages
Of that fertile region to the outside world, it
was noticed that while nearly every member
OF the party had his note book constantly in
hand taking down facts and figures upon
which to base forthcoming accounts of their
excursion, one member of the party was OBJ
served not to set down anything in his note
book, even il he had such an article about
him.
On being asked how he expected to write
up an article on the subject before them he
replied: ~ never take notes; when I have an
article to write 1 don't aoant to be hampered by
facts" Judging from the columns of the Ar
gus that paper is conducted on the same prin-
ciple, and it can truly be said they never al
low themselves to ba "hampered by facts"
We are reminded in particular of this by an
article In a recent number of that truthful
sheet upon the statement that Maj. Dickey of
Fort Kent mad been notified of a defect in the
returns from that town, which, if not correct
ed under the statute of 1877, would deprive
him of his seat.
to detract from the credit accorded to the Re-
publican Governor and Council in notifying
the Democratic Major of the defect in his re-,
turns, which even the Argus admits was fatal
and should have thrown out the return, by say
ing that "the facts about this case appear to b.
that it would not have affected Mr. Dickey's
election OF all had they thrown out the vote of
the town. But it is all well enough for the Re-
publican party to make show of virtue when
1t don't cost anything"
Let rs see, Mr.. Argus, whether it is true
that 1t would make no difference with Mr.
Dickey whether or not the vote of Fort Kent
were thrown t.
Leaving out the vote of Fort Kent, the vote
stood thus:

steam down in a jet and allowing it to escape
at the bottom, heating the shaft and causing
the heated air to ascend. This was formerly
done by means of furnace. One hundred
dollars has been received from Cyrus w.
Field for the relief fund.
