MOre GAGl NaWS frHm Maine.

Our readers will remember that two
weeks ago we reported Tho news Of some
OF the spring elections in Maine. and
mentioned the fact that on Monday of
the same week (March 1f) elections
were held, but no news had been re-
ceived up to the time of going to press.
The Associated Press agents in Maine
picked out few localities where for To-
cal reasons the GreenbackerS were
beaten and sent dispatches all over the
country TO that effect. We are SO well
acquainted with the methods OF these
subsidized news mopgers that we felt
perfectly satisfied that when the correct
returns came in ther would show up a
Greenback victory. And sure enough
here come the Ma ne Greenback papers
giving the official returns and growing
over big victory. The following head
lines and comments from the Bangor
Freeh0tder shows what was done:
VICTORY!
119 Towns Give Gre n5acl Majorities ana
Still They Come,
This Bird Crows for the Men Who Wear
Cowhide Boots.
The Farmers In Solid .Phalanx Proclaim
Their Allegiance to the National
Party-Ani Their In;iy.ng
Hostility to the Party
That Fosters Glass
Legislation.
The farmers of Maine have spoken. and who
could doubt the result when the men who r /,
and think and toll, and are robb d ny class
legislation are called upon 10 speak at the bal
lOt-bOx! 1t true in very many OF our farm
ing towns the voters attach No political i'm
portance to the select on of town officers. But
we notice that in some of the Greenb c.
stronghollS N this c0unt.-towls where tn
Greenback vote outnumherS the public
an two to Cne-the Greenbicke very
generously allowed the Republicans 10 be rep
res nted in tn ir town aFa rs. The kcp1blic-
an organ in this city sets up howl of tr umph
in an endeavor TO let themselves down easy,
knowing full well that their days of victory
are past, and that III tn s State at least, they
will come again no more forever. Weep. sin
ners, weep. The day of Judgment is at hand.
And the Lewiston Chronicle follows
suit by running up its big flag to the top
of the mast with the following head lines:
T. G. A. I.
The Greenbackers Are Invincible!
Then crowd To Our Banner Where Fer You
Will,
Let vot RS All Rally Around:

that Chinese immigration is kind of
slave trade. The traffic in coolies has
always been opposed by the Chinese
Government, and Chinese law provides
the penalty Of beheading for any who
shall engage in it. The offense is put
on the same level as piracy.

The Reasoning Of a Sparrow.

The English sparrow is a bird that is
despised by some persons, but he is Oc-
casionally seen to have a good deal of
sound sense, if not the actual gift OF
reason. A member of the tribe was no
ticed the other day to. work out prob
lem quite as well as creature general
" allowed to have more intelligence
could have done. He found in the
street strip of cotton cloth, an inch
wide, and about half a yard long, which
he seemed to think eminently desirable
as a material to be used in the coRstruc-
ton of his nest. So he caught up the
end in his beak and essayed to fly away
with the prize, but the fluttering cloth
interfered with the action of his wings
and brought him tumbling to the
ground. He attempted the same thing
some half a dozen times, and in each
case similarly failed, and at last dropped
the piece of cloth and devoted himself
to a moment of reflection. AN idea
soon seemed to strike him; he rolled
the cloth into a convenient wad, took
it in his beak in such way that no end
escaped, and then easily flew to his nest
with the compact bundle that he bad
prepared.-B0stOn Journal.

Young Criminals.

The criminal news of a single week
recently makes sad showing Of boyish
depravity. An Illinois boy killed the
girl who rejected his addresses on &C
count of his dissipation. Two Arkan-
sas boys quarrelled over rabbit hunt,
and one slew the other with an AK. A
St. Louis boy stabbed the playmate who
teased him for his ignorance of English.
A West Virginia boy shot the rival in a
girls affections. A Virginia boy con-
fesses the poisoning of two persons. A
Texas boy shot little girl because she
refused to put down pail when he Or
dered her to. A Kansas boy was on
trial for intentionally drowning play
fellow. Two Wisconsin boys maltreat-
ed child nearly to death. Three boys
pleaded guilty to highway robbery in
Chicago. An Iowa boy is forger. A
Missouri boy set fire to house. A New
Mexico boy shot a baby. A Colorado
horse thief is aged eight years, and none
of the criminals mentioned are over six
teen.-Chicago Herald.

An old farmer writes to the Country
Gentleman as follows: "The value of
corn husks in the art is much greater
than that realized by the generality of
farmers in feeding, although as fodder
/ consider them worth as much per
pound as the average hay for cattle.
They are used for a variety of purposes.
If our farmers would pick the corn from
the stalks, husks and all, they then
could safely house it in good weather
and pull the husks under cover, thus
saving them by themselves, either for
sale or other purposes, as desired. The
husking could be done at times when
out-of-door husking would be very disa-
greeable or impracticable. Good, clean
corn husks are sometimes sold to up
holsterers at high prices, and are always
in demand by them"
