The Aroostook kidnapping.

A Houlton letter to the Boston Globe gives
some further particulars of the kidnapping ana
escape of Melvin. 1t is the general opinion
that the New Brunswick officials became
frightened at the turn affairs were taking and
really let Melvin at liberty in his agreeing to
keep quiet. Melvin is described as rather Or
binary looking man of about 60 years OF age.
He has well tanned face almost covered with
a sandy beard. which seems TO have grown up
with cultivation. His eyes wear peculiar
squint, and he walks with an air OF fatigue
Though he does not look as If he possessed ex-
traordinary attractions for the other sex, he is
as comedy as the average Aroostook farmer
In answer to correspondent he at first de-
clined to state anything concerning his escape,
but finally declared that "the power OF man
coald never get anyone out of nat jail" Be-
ing asked whether he believed his abductors
were provincials or Americans he replied,
.'They were all provincials, and one of them l
know we'll" His son, however, stated that
one of the gang was known to live on this side
of the line. Melvin is extremely reticent, and
appears suspicious of all who approach him.

a French Political sensation.


LONDON, Jan. Especial Paris dispatches
indicate that M. Gambetta's utterances at
Saturdays meeting of the committee on the
bill for the revision of the constitution, when
he declared that should the congress of the
two houses go beyond the scheme fol revision
previously adopted by the Senate and Cham
Der of Deputies, it would place itself in revo-
lutionary position, requiring the Intervention
of the President of the republic, has created
great-sensation. His opponents construe the
matter as conveying a distinct threat. The
Republique- Franchise seeks to minimise the
very bad impression created by explaining
that NJ Gambetta merely meant that in the
event of the congress passing an illegal decree
President Greyy would, in accordance with his
constitutional prerogative, refer it to the cham
bers for reconsideration. The committee on
the bill will prepare its report to day, and the
discussion in the Chamber of Deputies is ex-
pected to begin on Thursday next.

TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY "a.

to guard against the sehemers who seek. to gain
the public ear to protect the ignorant and the
innocent to lift Journalism from the function OF
a mere gatberer of news which tends to make
the world vast whispering gallery in which
the monstrous and distorted echoes of countless
matters which had best sleep in oblivion rever-
berate, to that of wise and just organ OF pub
lie opinion, giving clearness and balance TO
the general mind on the one hand, and on the
other, speaking the general mind OF the
weightiest part Of the community with force
and character that make it heard and Needed
in the councils of the nation. To do such
work at all demands rare gifts of intellect and
culture, of courage and tact. To do 1t worthi-
ly demands how much of truth and of wisdom,
bravery to fight wrong, insight to see the
path of practicable duty, gen.leness in dealing
with opponents, magnanimity in judging mo-
tiyes, the absolute elimination of personal and
selfish considerations; above all, self abne-
gation-a merging of self in the truth and duty
which issthe very spirit of the disciple OF him
who is truth itself who hath said: "Be that
loseth his life for my sake shall find it," 1t is
hts to see men of less gifts, less training, less
experience, less capacity for public service,
rise to eminence, by his help, while he remains
unseen, a power rather than person, pouring
his life into the channels of public service and
losing it utterly, to find it again, doubtless, as
the Master promised, in the knowledge which
must surely come some day, somewhere that
the world is the better thereby.
