One of the first of the appointments OF
President Arthur is likely to be that of a
judge of the Supreme Court as successor Of
Judge Clifford.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1881-09-30

The day before President Garfield was
shot he signed the commissions of the half
dozen United States Ministers to foreign
countries whom he had appointed; but as
this class of officers are allowed 30 days
within which to perfect their arrangements
to depart for their posts Of duty after receiv-
ing their commission. the President deferred
signing the letters accrediting them to the
several Governments to which they were
assigned until his return from the contem-
plated trip to Williamstown. When the
month expired the Presidents condition
precluded him from signing the documents
in question wbereupon Secretary Blaine, in
order not to delay the departure of the new
Ministers, authorized them to leave and gave
to each letter stating the reason Of the
absence of their former credentials and re-
qucsting the Governments in question to re-
ceive them, promising, as soon as the Presi-
dent became convalescent, that the letters of
credence would be forwarded The Stats
Department has been advised by several OF
the Ministers that they have been most
cordially received on Mr.. Blaines note.

Two Girls Go Camping Out.

Considerable gossip was evinced few
days since over the fact that a young girl
about sixteen years old. daughter of one of
our citizens, leaving home and taking up her
abode in woods not far from this village
For company she had induced another miss
of her own age the eldest daughter of most
respectable church member Of Walden, to
leave good home. which had recently been
bereft Of its mother, with the care Of younger
children devolvine upon her, and these two
remained in the woods about a week, during
which time they were favored with fine
weather. The father of the young lady from
Walden visited this place in search of his
daughter, but being unable to find any
trace of her returned home. A few
days afterward they were in field
eating berries, and officer Torbush, of
Walden, being notified, kindly brought the
young misses uPD here before Justice Bo-
dine. When brought before the magistrate
they both cried profusely in penitence of the
wrong they had just discovered they had been
doing, not knowing before they had trespassed
on any laws moral or social, and imagining
that thep had a perfect right to go and camp
out in the woods as anybody else, if they
wished to. and thought it was nobodys bust
ness but their own. They were sent home.

Strangulatus Pro Republica.
The WORDS WRITTEN BY THE PRESIDENT
INSTEAD OF HIS SIGNATURE

Among those who stood on the platform at
train was Steward Crump, a faithful atten-
dent on President Garfield until he himself
was laid on bed Of sickness a sufferer from
an attack Of nervous prostration, not malaris,
as he emphaticallv informed me. asked
him something of the Presidents illness. and
especially as to the illusions under which he
labored when he was reported to be delirious.
1t will be recolected that it was denied that
the President had any delusions, but Mr.
Crump tells different story. He says that
not confined to the moments just after he had
awakened from sleep. He said the illusions
came on at all times. As an illustration of
this he said that one day after the President
had lain silent long time he said;
''Crump. what are those men doing there?'
''There are no men here, Mr.. President"
responded Crump.
Certainly there are" insisted the Presi-
dent. ''and you must tell them, Crump, that
! cannot see them to-day. Tell them to go
away"
Mr.. Crump could not convince him that
he was laboring under delusion, and there
fore he rose and said
''Genilemen, the President cannot see YOU
to-day. You must go away now
The President thanked him, and then anx-
ously inquired if he had hurt the feelings of
his imaginary intruders. At another time he
was choking from an accumulation of phlegm,
and insisted that some one had him BY the
throat, nor would he be satisfied until Crump
had beaten off the assailant. II is improbable
that the President did not realize the extreme
danger of his situation. To-day | heard u
very interesting and somewhat startling con-
firmation of this. 1t will be recollected that
it was announced that the President had
signed his name one day, simply to test his
nerves. 1t was before he wrote the letter to
his mother. The signature was said to have
been good. but the fact was concealed that
the sick man wrote something else of very
significant character. He took the pen from
the doctor, and, thinking awhile, wrote these
words:
"Strangulatus Pro Republica" (Strangled
for the Republic. Special Despatch TO The
Press.

Basket Willows.

The subject of the periodical overflow of
the Thames and other rivers, upon which a
good deal of public notice has lately been be-
slowed should be the means of directing
more attention to the possible improvement
of wet ground in marshy situations by the
planting Of oste,s, which, under the technical
name of ''rods' and willows" are a msr-
shantable commodity, regularly in request by
the basketmakcrs, which will yield a more
certain return, perhaps, than many agricul-
tural crops that are subject to casualties aris-
ing from adverse seasons, the profit being
very considerable, and the management com
paratively easy and simple.
Nature, indeed, spontaneously suggests this
application for the goat-willOw, or .Saitr
caprea). may often be found indigenous in
moist ground, more particularly in those
waste and marshy situations that are, under
usual practice, so difficult to deal with
two-year old seeding plant of the goat-willow
will often produce several shoots three or four
feet high, and if allowed to grow longer still,
and cut down every three or four wears, no
tree will produce so great bulk of fagot
wood, for a well established stock will some
times give out in one year shoots eight to
twelve feet long, straight and well propor-
toned, some of them an inch in diameter at
yard from the ground. Ultimately the goat
willow becomes a fine tree, often attaining a
height of forty or fifty feet, with trunk vary
ing from one and half to two feet in dame
ter, and for hoops poles, rods, crates, sheep
fences, and other purposes, the earlier pro-
duce of the goat-willow is extremely valuable.

How to Detect AduIteratiOn in

Take little of the coffee and press it be-
tween the fingers, or give it a squeeze in the
paper in which it is bought if genuine, il
will not form in a coherent mass, as coffee
grains are hard and do not readily adhere to
each other: but if the grounds stick to each
other and form sort of 'scake." we may
be pretty sure of adulteration in the shape of
chic ~. for the grains of chicory are softer
and more open, and adhere without difficulty
when squeezed. Again, if we place few
grains in a saucer and moisten them with a
little cold water, chcory will very quickly
become soft like bread crumbs, while coffee
will take a long time to softe1. A third test
Take wineglass or a tumblerfull of water,
and gently drop pinch Of the ground coffee
ON the surface Of the water without stirring
OF agitation; genuine coffee will float for some
time, while chicOry or any other soft root will
soon sink; and chicory or caramel will cause
q yellowish or browning color to diffuse rap
idly through the water, while pure coffee will
give no sensible tint under such circum- tances
for a considerable length Of time.

Bcrlioz was present, says London
Society. at the first representation Of
Hamlet at the Odeon, and at once
conceived for Henriette Smithson what
he calls "a mortal love-" His own
words best describe the impression made:
The effect of her prodigious talent, OF
rather of her dramatic genius, on my
Imagination and my heart was only
~.~,mparable to the complete upsettine
used by the poetof whom she was the
Yorthy interpreter. Next day Romeo
sd Juliet was on the bill. From the
s.iird act until the end, scarcely breath
ing. as If q band of iron were compress

tire conviction, Il am q lost mani 1t
should be added that I did not then
know a word of English, and had only
got = glimpse Of Shakespeare through
Letourneur's misty translation"
To get q nearer view Of the qrdnde
f5'dgedienne, he entered the theatre
during a rehearsal. Romeo in the tomb,
overwhelmed with despair, was carry
ing Juliet in his arms. Berlioz, after q
glance at the Shakspearean group,
screamed out, wrung his hands, and ran
away. Juliet saw, heard, and took
fright. telling the other actors to have q
care of that gentleman with the wicked
looking eyes. Not q promising begin
ming Tor an ardent lover! Common
sense people will be inclined to remark:
'sGenius to madness closely is allied"
But the favor of the Paris public is far
from stable. Miss Smith went out of
fashion rs fast as she came in. Count
ing on the constancy Of the Parisians'
enthusiasm, she had undertaken the
management OF an English theatre, and
rapidly experienced a facilis descensus
toward ruin. besides which, she broke
her leg-Mlle. Marsbe haved admirably
on that occasion-and limping Juliets
do not draw. Notwithstanding which
impediments Hector got presented to
Henriette and married her, in spite of
her family's violent opposition. On his
part he was obliged to obtain his parents
consent, according to French law, by
summdtions respectueuses-that Is by
legal c~ompulsion. On their wedding
day all the bride possessed was debts,
and tho prospect of not being able to
act again. In consequence of her acci-
