A COSTRAsT.-We hear that the ball at lila
watha, on the 22d, was the occasion of more
drunkenness than was ever before seen in the
town. Quarrelling and fighting were indulged
in, pistols were flourished, and shooting scrape
was with difficulty averted.
What n contrast between two towns! Hiawa-
tha has the reputation, far and wide, of being a
Temperance citadel, where saloon never existed.
Troy is called a whiskey town. There ball
here, too, on the night of the 22d. Not a drunk
en- person was seen in the vicinity; and even
church members were heard to exclaim: "If all
dances were so orderly and nice, what harm
would there be in dancingi"

n The Stalwarts had better let Blaine alone,
II they have any regard for their own well-being.
Another of their boomerangs has come back at
them, and hit some of their pets a terrible lick.
They have been accusing Blaine of completely in
the Peruvian guano speculation. 4 letter of
Shipherd, the manager Of that movement, has
just been published, in which he names large
number of prominent men from whom he has
reason to expect aid and cooperation. Blaine's
name is not there, but those of many Stalwarts
are, and 10! the names of Grant and Don Came

tion on the life of Garfield, before both Houses of
Congress, the officers of every part of the Gov

say that it was able and eloquent, would be su-

IFThc Western Agent of the Associated Press
retraets a slander against John Sherman, which
was sent ont in the press reports, pretending to
be testimony of Pitney, duplicating Sherman and
his wife in corrupt transactions in connection
with the Treasury Department. Pitney gave no
such testimony, but the report was smuggled in
by one of the hirelings who infest Washington,
doing dirty work for a salary. What sort of reg
niations have the agents of the Associated Press,
that these scOundrels can inject into the reports
whatever they choose! For months past, the
emissaries of the Stalwart leaders have been cir
culating ISLANDERS against Sherman in the press
reports, and latterly they have been making like
assaults upon Blaine. A press despatch was
even sent over the country, rehashing the al
lodged coalition between Blaine and the Demo-
Gratis. If the Associated Press is to be made an
instrument to circulate Stalwart ISLANDERS, its
days of usefulness is abont numbered.

ATLASTIs.-For years, the world has INDUCED
in speculation, tradition, romance and poetry
relative to the lost continent, Atlantis, said to
hay. once existed in the Atlantic Ocean. mid
way between Europe and America. Looking at
Cuba and the surrounding islands on the map,
one is almost impressed with the idea that they
are fragments of 4 sunken continent. On our
first page, we publish an article and poem on
the subject of Atlantis. Nr. Trowbridge, in his
poem, suggests theory that seems plausible.
Numerous evidences have been found on the
American continent, indicating that a people
were once here who had reached high state of
civilization. But there are no records of them,
and the oldestraees found on the continent have
no traditions of such people. Mr.. Trowbridges
theory is, that these remains the work of wan
dering or exploring bands from the continent of
Atlantis. As every vestige of that land sank
into the ocean, people, records, and ALL there
was nothing left TO tell the tale.

indeed fine. He is polished elocutionst, and
for the lovers OF Dickens the entertainment was a
treat. The seventh lecture of the course is to be

Massachusetts. His subject is " Acres of Da-
monds. -. The entertainment given by the Help

their vestry last Friday night was grand success
Music was furnished by the seminary orchestra
and the comedy, " The Factory Girl" was very
well played. The simple mention of Miss Flor
ence Benjamin, Mr.. Morrison, Mr. Eaton and

of nearly $40. The first of a series of socables

the state, Ex-Governor Royce being the first.
Ex-Governor Fletcher, though feeling the burden
of age, still maintains a lively interest in public
affairs and especially in the doings OF the repub
lican party.
soMr NJ tho expe,ts NJ the late examination
into the mail robberv At this place having caused
an impression to prevail that the mails are not
properly cared for between Montpeer and the
Junction, and that It is unsafe to entrust moneys
and other yaluables to that usual mode OF con-
veyance, we have taken pains to make personal
inquiry and learn that those having the matter
in charge have arranged to secure the night
mails in room at the depot provided with the
safest locks, and to which no one has access but
the sworn officer OF the Central road who has
the contract for carrying the mails. 1t would
therefore seem that the mails are perfectly SAFE
and no apprehensions need be entertained on that
score.
