Very little was done by the Committees
Yesterday afternoon. The Committee on
Interior Waters voted to report favorably on
the petition for authority to construct boom
across the kennebec river at Browns Island
in VassaIboro The Committee reported
fought to pass on petition of George A.
Cony for right to navigate Cobbosseecontee
Lake by steam. The Committee on Ways
and Bridges will report favorably on the bill
authorizing the construction of bridge
across st. Georges river in ThomastOn.
The Normal school at Pennington COM
menced its Spring term, Feb. 22d. During
the sixteen years of its work more than 800
pupils have been connected with it, and
nearly 400 have taken its diploma upon COM
pletion of the course of study These trained
teachers are sought for the best positions,
and many have found the Normal course the
foundation tor an honorable and successful
life. The impression is rapidly growing that
only trained teachers can be trusted in re-
sponsible positions, and in some of our cities
employment is given to no others. Many
more of our young men and women should
inform themselves of the character and adva an
tages of a Normal course of study and take it.

NIhIlism and Beer.

New York Tribune, 49,
The eminent but theoretical king
whose practical function it is
to retail beer to the thirsty Brutuses
Of New York, when news Of the muir
der Of the Russian emperor arrived,
nailed FIVE red flags over the door Of
his shop in sign of his rejoicing, and
last night presided at a meeting of
bloodthirsty and unwashed persons,
who congratulated mankind on the
butchery Of the poor czar. There is
no law against such demonstration, so
that we are rather surprised that the
man Of beer found any relish in making
it. Because any given fluid renders a
mar fat, we do not see why it should
render him f%erocious Perhaps it may
be thought that it lends force to a pa
triot's expressed willingness to bleed
for his country, when he has more
blood than usual TO lose. As a rule
we should say that a particularly anti
pose agitator ought not to dabble in as
sassination unless he prefers going to
the scaffold to running away, WHICH
might chance to be the case if he were
special crazy. 1t is true. VIC cannot
imagine a mar with much Of the mar
tyr in him deriving his spirit Of soli
abnegation from the W%hite-crested
schooner-but lager, when taken BY
the gallon, may have a Wild and in
furiating effect. 1t is of record that
julius Caesar suspected Cassius be-
cause he had "a lean and hungry
look" and preferred to have fat men
about him. Perhaps, however, in this
age Of change, we have changed all
that. Beer now may be the true rev.
dictionary ~hippocrene.
The perturbed spirit mentioned

On Little Sulphur creek, there is a
place pointed out by tradition, where,
some two hundred years ago, a Span
ish miner eamped. There is still some
traces remaining. Near the center of
the old plat Of ground stands a square
stone formula set in the ground, and
tradition goes that it was left as a land
mark. Near by is a place 30 by 80 feet
that shows to have been excavated,
and that stones are yet to be found two
feet over. At a glance you would
take them TO be g~rindstones, but on
closer examination the face of the out
err circle has an oval polished and the
sides show a fine polish. In texture
the rock is close aud compact, and
hard as granite; blue in color and IRA
dition says they were used in the eras-
ia to grind the ore. In a well near by

iugman will at once pass that
judgment upon it, and will
also understand that such an ap-
peal is a grave insult, if the man who
makes it were capable of insulting
him. He is invited to commit MUIR
der. He is called upon to violate all
those laws upon the statute book
which have been framed for the pro-
lection of lite aud property. He is
urged to make himself a candidate for
the gallows or state prison. He is ex-
pected to disregard the interests and
the happiness OF his wife and children.
He is urged to give up the citizenship
of which he is justly proud, and to
become a felonious outlaw, without a
government to obey, a country to love,
a home tl cherish, a church to pray in
or the friendship Of honorable and
~peaceable fellow citizens. In short,
he is a contemplate wretch, unless he
viudicates his manhood by shooting
somebody, by setting fire to somebody 5
house, by destroying factories and by
tearing up railroads. If he works in
a machine shop, he must ruin the ma
chinery; il he labors in a mine, he
must destroy it or its owner; in short,
whatever his vocation, he must re-
nounce it, and content himself with
starvation and Widowed ~raggedness,
tempered by the delights Of unjusti6-
able homicide, and the sweet consola-
tions of arson aud malicious mischief.
Such mad suggestions as these might
be alarming in some countries in which
those who should make them would be
speedily shut up, either as lunatics or
criminals. Here, an agitator, in or
binary times, who has sense enough
left to confne himself to hot words
and peppery phrases, may indulge in
his bilious amusement without mo.
lestation. When he tries deeds instead
of words, he usually does not find the
pastime quite 50 pleasant. The pres
emit is a particularly bad time for the
beer man and his beery political ethics.
Freedom has neither disturbed the
intellects nor hardened the hearts Of
the citizens Of the United States,
whether native or adopted. The muir.
der of the emperor has awakened here
a general feeling of indignation and
sympathy. We love liberty, but it
must be liberty protected by law; and
whoever undertakes to apply nihilist
notions, even to the government of a
village or a city ward, will need the
consolation of beer indeed, and all
other consultations whatsoever.

piece Of business. Four per cent was
good enough two years ago but will not
answer now. The portions of the debt
about to fall due can be refunded at
three per ceRt. To continue the $lO4,-
100000 bonds for thirty years at four
per cent would, therefore, be requir-
ing the country to pay one per cent a
year more than is necessary for thirty
years -or about 81, 1000, 900 a year more
for a generation. Such a thing added
to the folly of the Hayes veto would

President Garfield rises at seven in
the morning-before any of the family
except his venerable mother, whose
hour is six. He reads the papers; at
eight he breakfasts; then he goes to
his Office and dictates personal letters
to his stenographer. Then after a lit
tie chat with his family he is ready to
receive the waiting crowd of callers.
AT half-past two he lunches, then
divers members of the cabinet appear,
and at six he dimes. There are no
Sunday night singing classes at the
White House now. The Cincinnati
Commercial says: "The president is a
great lover Of children. He enjoys
their company and loves to romp with
them. His Oldest daughter, Mollie, is
of that age when her lessons and her
educational advancement require much
attention. Her father takes a deep
personal interest in her welfare"

An ex-senator said to Gath, about
Senator Malone: Il never thought
much Ct Mahone's military ability.
He was a great fellow to have himself
advertised during the war. Whatever
he did got the highest kind of ex
plotting. He was a Virginian, and
had a set of friends in the Richmond
newspapers, who set him up to the
highest notch for anything he did.
The best that | can say for him is
that he kept his command in a high
state Of morals. That is, he always
got by his aggressive nature good
clothes Cor them to wear. a good com
missary, and they Jared better than
the troops of other men. | attributed
that to his rather domineering style Of
getting out Of the political authorities
what he wanted; and more modest
generals, seeing the difficulty in the
way Of providing, would draw off.
While the democrats are much dis
gusted with Malone, the republicans
are much disguised with hal little
selfish knot Of their own party in
Virginia which hates Malone because
they fear he will take some Of the
loaves and fishes they have been in
the habit of getting. Undoubtedly
he will now get them for his followers,
and a goodmany OF those republicans
will get the mitten Of the republican
senate and the administration. and
the possibilities Of division in Virginia
are thus increased. Seeing that the
white republicans have been shaken
off by the Washington authorities,
the negroes will very generally go over
to Malone, and accept him as their
leader"

We notice with much satisfaction
that the Nashville Daily Herald, a
lively, enterprising, young evening
paper, although in favor of.state cred
it, has not gone over, body and boots,
to the bondholders, aud has sounded a
note Of warning against the 100 and 8
bill. The Herald, of the 18th, says
1.-THE debt is to be funded, and the
coupons made receivable for taxes. the
legislature will do we'll to consider the
rate Of taxation necessary to meet all
obligations. Should the bill PISS and
the rate of taxation now coutended iol
be fixed upon, tue sta e will find her
self wholly without funds for any Il

trying to rush it through without an,
