Knox County Census.

The Rockland Free Press says: The re-
turns thus far received show a gain in this
city of $40 persons. The losses of various
towns in the county, as reported amount to
S25 persons, and the gains of other towns to
1879. leaving a net gain of S54, which will
probably be slightly increased by the returns
of St. George and Warren, which are yet to
come in. 1t will be seen that Vinal Haven

A Touching Picture.

While was lecturing at Washing
ton saw lady with an intelligent,
pretty face and bright eloquent eyes
that we're rarely lifted toward the
speaker, and then for only fash of
time. They were bent upon her
husbands hands almost canstauuy.
Brilliant and accomplished, q few
years ago, she had gone down into
tho world of voiceless silence, anil
now all the music and all the speech
that comes into her life comes through
the tender devotion Of her husband ;
and as | talked watched him telling
OIL the lecture on his nimble fingors,
while her eager eyes glanced from
them to his sympathetic face. 1t was
pretty picture Of devotion. They
were so young to have this cloud
shadow the morning skies of their
lives, but as | glanced from the
volceless wife to her husband ]
thought how beautiful the sunlight OF
his devotion was, breaking through
these clouds and tinting even their
afiilctlon with a tender radiance.
This discipline Of attending upon suf-
fering is good thing for man. Ii
rounds out his life; it develops his
manlier, nohler qualities; it makes
hrs heart brave and tender and
strong as woman's.-Ro6crt j. Bur

pleasing TO know that people get whot
they search for, and in this instance
the pleasure is doubled. Two women
have discovered the objects of their
search on two distinct and separate
occasions, and in two separate and
distinct places. One lady lived in
Essex County, New York, and the
other in Ballston Center, in the same
State. The young women were in the
State of New York just before they
made the discovery, but were trans
por.ed into the state of terror imme-
diately after. This seems to chow
that the acquisition of long looked
for object does not always bring hap
piness. These ladies of this district
who look for the man undsr the bed
once in every twenty-four hours
should take courage at the success of
the New York ladies and continue
the search.

WhiskeY and Votes.

There is one abominable practice
that should be discountenanced by all
good citizens in our country during the
pending election, and that is, the use
OF whiskey for electioneering purpos-
es. Especially should our people set
their faces against the practice of
carrying whiskey TO the polls 10 be
used in influencing votes on the day of
the election. Men whose vote can be
thus influenced do not deserve the
name of free men; and we hope
every good citizen will regard each
and every candidate who will, either
themselves or through their friends
at the polls, attempt TO buy votes
with whiskey, as only fit TO represent
men whose vote can thus be bought.
1t is a most degrading practice, a
disgrace to civilization, and should
not be tolerated in christian land,

"The Mug of the Kid"

Two years and two months ago,
says the Albany Journal, Peter BIc-
Dermott was employed upon the new
Capitol as stone-cuttcr. He be-
came acquainted with O handsome
little blonde named Maggie BIoran.
Being q likely-looking fellow, she
yielded to his opportunities, and they
were married. Three months later
he abscodded, and she heard nothing
of him until recently. In the mean
time she had borne him q child. The
first intimation she received of his
whereabouts was from q letter which
he wrote last week to q friend still
employed on the Capitol, in which
he requested the latter to get "thc
mug of the kid" photograph of the
child), and forward it to an address
in New York which he gave. The
friend gave the letter to Mrs. McDer-
mott, who in turn handed it to Chief
Malcy. The result was that Justice
Clute issued warrant, and yester-
day, Court Officer Byrne went down
and surprised NcDermott. The off,
Ger returned with him last night. and
this morning, after an examination,
he was sent up for year. AS he was
leaving the courtroom, the wife said
"You wanted to see the mug of the
kid, did your Well, look ut it now,
for it's the last opportunity you'll
have in year." Peter, with NUT
tered curse, continued on his wny.

ceeds only in cheating himself. A
young man belonging to tie Teutonic
race fell in love, or at least thought
he did, with the daughter of a ban
ker. When, however, he seriously
thought Of the subject of matrimony
he concluded that love, though very
beautiful in lis way, needs little
money behind it to make it perman-
ent-a conclusion to which other
than Teutonic youths sometimes ar
rive. He wanted to marry the
beautiful girl, but he wanted also to
have The marriage certificate cover at
least a small portion of the old gen.
tleman's substance. A proper COM
bination Of affection and cash makes
delightful house. He went, there
fore, to the paternal parent TO talk
the matter over, and, as though he
were bestowing an everlasting favor
on the family by bestowing his con-
ceited self, he said, 81 can't possibly
marry you daughter, my dear sir,
unless she has dowry Of 10000

great dignity, replied, 'Then, sir,
you can't marry her at all, for she
happens to have dowry of $4,000

A Bra1ii Newspaper.

A Phenomenon in journalism has
just made its appearance in Rio Jane
iro. 1t is a newspaper published in two
languages, and its editor announces
that "to serve better our country and
those who have in it their interests,
we will publinh in Portnguese and
English language the articles that
will be convenient to the nationals
andforeigners." Its Portugeee may
be good enough, but the quality OF
its English may be sampled by The
sentence in the prospectus which de-
ciares that the paper proposes "to
trace himself his line Of conduct in
the press, and in the aaaiyze OF facts
and events he will have the reflected
calm of the imparciality." It's notion
of business methods may be under
stood from the statement that "we
will consider our subscribers all per
soma to whom our paper will be sent,
If not returned it."-Boston Journal.

Step to The Rear.

If q correspondent of the New
York World is to be believed, the
Tilden influence in the National
Democratic Executive Comhitte is
exceedingly weak. A trial of It's
strength was made at the last meeting
of the Committee on three PROPOSE
tions, each Of which was promptly re-
jected by decided majority of the
Committee. One was the choice of
st. Louis as the place for holding the
Natioual Convention; another was
the adoption Of the 'fraud issue" az
the leading question for the coming
campaign, and the third was the a;S-
pointmeEt Of subcommittee 10 ar
bitrate between the Tilden and anti
Iilden Democrats Of New York. The
rejection Of all these propositions
ought to show Mr.. Tilden that his
day IN politics is over.

OF the farmer as that he may cultivate,

OF the farmer as that he may cultivate,
ard truly in essential justice no stock
of others has any right thereon, with.
out his express permission. With
just as much equity may the law give
ali the world legal permission to
steal farmers corn out of his barn,
unless it is locked, as it does now to
give permission to Others cattle to
destroy his crop, unless he fences il
in.
In addition to the oppressive injus-
iice Of the fence system, the expert
rience Of the civilized world has
clearly demonstrated it to be USE
less and wasteful one. Wherever
farming has been brought up to the
high condition it deserves, and to
which it must be brought to be profit
able, the law regarding fences is di-
rectly contrary to that in force
throughout most Of the South.
When farm stock is restrained, and
the responsibility for their depreda.
tions is thrown on their owners, capi-
tai is released from the very unpTolit-
able investment Of fencing, and made
available for farm improvements.
One Of the very first effects is the i'm
provement Of the stock and only the
good ones are kept, and the inferior
are killed or sold of. All the ma
nure, instead of being wasted, is saved
and the way prepared for the steady
Improvement Of the soil. None Of
the land is wasted, and the fields are
cultivated down 10 the edges of the
roads.
The best proof Of The advantages Of

fact that no section of the country
