Terrible Crime in Maine.

Charles Smith, who was reported Fri
day to have shot his wife near Rock
land, Me-, was found, on investigation,
TO have first shot Mrs. Robbins, his
wife's mother. He ATTEMPTED to kill
Mrs. Metcalf, an old womon living in
the house, but she, taking with her her
two children, escaped to the woods.
He then turned and shot his wife in the
neck. The murderer entered the room
where his infant boy lay sleeping, and
shot him twice in the mouth, killing
him instantly. Returning to the room
where his wife and mother-in-law lay,
he shot the latter through the body in
tiicting probably mortal wound.
Speaking to his wifc and asking her to
kiss him, he shot her through the breast,
and then drove to town and surrendered
himself. Jealousy of his wife is said to
BE- the cause, and Smith has not the re-
pntation of being dangerous or violent
man.

THE SETTLERS IN Arizona Territory
have as much of a right to be protected
from the attacks of the murderous
Apache Indians as if they lived in one
of the Eastern or Middle States. The
disturbances have been going on for
some months and augmenting in force
and yet the Government has been re-
miss in its duty in not sending sufficient
forces to protect the settlers. 1t is very
desirable indeed that the rebellious
Indians should be subdued, for it is no
pleasant news to read nearly every day
of the murder Of some inoflensive fami-
lies who are pot even guilty. of the act
Of defending themselves. Our army
owing to the niggardly policy OF Con-
,ress which for the last four years has
been in the hands of those who have no
special love for it anyhow, is nothing
ike so large as 1T ought to be to dis
,harge in proper manner the duties
Incumbent on upon it hut it is surely
practicable to concentrate in the
'roubled territory sufficient number
)f troops to reduce these mur,ierous
Appaches to subsection and to teach
them a much needed lesson. We are
pleased to note that the settlers them
selves whose lives are daily and hourly
have at last arisen and are
organizing and preparing tor an aggres.
'ive campaign ag inst their savage
enemies but it is not right that they
should be compelled to organize armed
'esistance in self defence when it is the
'lace of the Government to protect
hem and where there are plenty ofl
nen to be had to increase the army by
merely asking for them.

About Brick,

A few days ago through Incorrect in
formation received we stated that the
price of brick had been raised two dol
lars thousand. Mr. James II. Beggs,
the largest brick manufacturer in the
city, Uniforms us that we were half right
as no brick have advanced more than
one dollar to the thousand, and even
this raise was not made to take advan.
tage of the great building wave that is
passing over the city, but because it
was absolutely necessary on account of
the scarcity of labor and the increase in
wages. Labor it appears cannot be
had. Every ybody. is employed at some
kind of work at good remunerative wa
ges, and Mr.. Beggs says that it is i'm
possible to get the kind of labor that
brick manufacturers need at the high
est wages. Contrary to the general idea
of some people that any kind Of an un-
skilled laborer can make a brick, there
is a department in the business which
requires the incest kind of inspection
and discrimination, and that is the art
of telling the color of brick AZ they are
sorted from the kiln. The lack of this
discrimination is called color blindness.
1t is no trouble it seems to manufacture
and burn in the kilns a sufficient quan-
tity to supply the demand, but hands
cannot be had who are competent to as
sort the brick from the kilns, on ac-
count Of color blindness, that is All as
sort of bricks even if the sight is good Z
at the start, will soon become 80 atfec-
ted and afflicted with color blindness
that he cannot distinguish the color
of one brick from another, and without
this nice discrimination in the color,
black, red, light and salmon brick
would be mixed up in inextucable
confusion and make building look as
spotted and variegated as was Joseph's
coat of many colors. The great demand
for brick and this scarcity Of hands with
proper color discrimination make 1t
necessary for brick manufacturers to
pay higher wages for this particular
part of brick making. We are pleased
to hear from so responsible a gentle
MN as Mr.. Begss, that there is no dis
position whatever on the part of brick
manufacturers to take advantage of the
great demand and raise y corner in
brick a. the grain Spectators do from
Lime to time with grain. ~'--

THE ,METHoDIsTs in their Ecumeni-
cal Council now in session in London,
have passed a resolution in favor of set
tling all disputes by arbitration. It is
difficult to see what other course could
be pursued as arbitration is the only
way by which all disputes have been
settled from the time of which we have
any history down to the present time
and in case arbitration failed the sword
has been the resort, though in religious
bodies and on religious matters for sew
eral generations the sword has not been
resorted to where arbitration failed. 1t
is good sign however to see even such
a reformatory body as the Methodists
agree to settle their differences amicably
and peaceably, and we presume that
will be a principle that no
one will seriously oppose, and we would
freely recommend the practice of the
principles of these peace principles in
The settlement of international dis
putes between nations. The only diff
,ulty is that arbitration is not always
'easibe. Sometimes controversies arise
where each Of the disputantsis SO thor
,ughly convinced that he is right, and
10 firmly determined to have his own
way, that he will not consent to submit
lis quarrel to the arbitration of a third
'arty, and thus it is with international
uarrels. Until an international court
f arbitration is organized, with power
lot only to adjudge disputes, but also
0 enforce its DEGREES, war as a last
esort will always remain possibility
he resolution passed by the MetEo.
lists in Council is creditable to that
ody, as it shows they at least favorI
eace, but if the Method:sts by their
Il bers, their influence and their NOR
force would not favor arbitration we
ould not know where to look for re-
,ioGs or moral body of reformers in

Why 1t Pays to Read.

Ones physical frame-his. body,
his muscles. his feet, his hands
is only machine. 1t is his mind
controlling and directing that machine
that gives it power and efficacy. The
successful use OF the body depends
wholly upon the mlnd-upon its abil'
ity to direct the will. If one ties his
arm in a sling it becomes weak and
finally powerless. Keep it in active
exercise, and it acquires vigor and
strength, and is disciplined to use
this strength as desired, just as ones
mind, by active exercise in thinking,
reasoning, studying observing, &C
quires vigor, strength, power of con-
centration and direction. Plainly,
then, the man who exercises his mind
in reading and thinking gives it great
er power and efficiency, and greater
ability to direct the efforts OF the
physical trame-his work-to better
result than he can who merly or main.
" uses his muscles. If q man reads
book or paper, even one he knows
to be erroneous. it helps him by the
effort to combat the errors. The
combat invigorates his mind.
Of all men the farmer, the cultiva-
tor, needs to read more to strengthen
his reasoning powers, so that they
will help out and make more effective
bis hard toll.
