i Large Crowd and a Good Time.

The Fourth OF July was ushered in a

gracefully from the court house TOP and, a
hundred smaller ones futtered in the
breeze. Our citizens were al hustle aud
confusion and teams from the country
came from all sides al an early hour BY
ten 0 clock our streets presented most
lively and interesting spectacle, The
marshal Of the day and his assistants were
soon on hand and the thtong was mar
shalIed into order and formed into pro
cession preparatory to marching to the
grove. The Canton cornet band headed
the column and furnished music for the
occasion, and added much to the SUCCESS
OF the programme. Upon arriving at the
grove where convenient seats had been
arranged @ud 4 stand erected for the ex-
excuses Of the day, the order Of exercises
as previously announced was substantially
carried into effect. The glee club opened
the exercises by a patriotic song which
was rendered in the most successful man
ner, followed by the invocation by Il. L,
SouIe. VIM NJ, Cuppett, president Of The

The Ex-senator's EARLY Training and Lat
er Life.

A neat frame house, large enough to hive a
good-sized family and always have space left
for few friends, stands in the centre OF an
acre OF so of ground at the farther end of thu
chief street of this quiet town, writes IF A.
B." from Augusta, Me-, to the Philadelphia
Press. There are pretty shade trees in the
yard. Graveled walks run through the green
sward and around an occasional bed of flowers
1t isn't pretentious place, by any manner of
means, and there are many far more snowy
houses within gunshot of it. 1t has quiet,
centented air about it, however, that attracts
strangers, who, while passing more imposing
residences without inquiry, are almost certain
to ask whom they reach this one: "Who lives
there?" The fagstones that lead to the main
entrance of the house arc not barred from the
sidewalk by ga e, and the latch-string that
swings from the door-knob, like The open en-
trance, seems to beckon all who come within
reach of its charms to the masters presence.
Yes; master, not only of this home, but OF
great mind, Of an eloquent tongue. Master OF
most nen in the land in all that makes men
noted in their generation and in the history OF
a powerful nation. Commander of himself
and of unhoup ded resources in politics, states
craft, debate, and in social qualities that KNIT
men to him with steel wire. Master OF the ART
of welding friends to his fortunes by audaclous
courage and power of thought and statement
that is at once sublime and convincing.
Just across the street the little granite state
House, where he began public lie. sits upon
high terrace, and almost before the place L
have described, the public park, which the
state owns, stretches off toward the river. Tho
state capitol grounds on one side, and this park,
with it's depth of shade, on the other, set the
and annropriate frame. How and why appro-
pirate will appear further on.
Augusta is not the most attractive or busy
place in Maine 1t seems to have been begun
along the banks OF the river for business, and
to have crept by slow degrees back upon and

The Legislature.

The Importance of good nominations for
the Legislature cannot be too strongly in
sisted upon. We have already called the
attention of our readers to this matter, and
once more beg to remind Them of it, The
Fusionists-that is, the better informed OF
them-have about given up hopes OF elect
ing their candidate for Governor, but do
still cherish hopes of electing Legislature
that shall choose United States Senator.
There are mauy close Legislative Districts
in the State that eau be easily lost by inju-
dicious nominations. 1t is the imperative
dnty of Republicans to see that the best
and strongest men are selected and then to
90 to work with vigor and elect them. Upon
these Districts may and very likely will, de-
pend the political complexion OF the United
States Senate. Upon them certainly de-
ponds the question whether M. Frye shall
be returned to the seat he so ably fills and
continue to represent the State he has SO
faithfully and brilliantly served.
There is reason to believe, too, that the
Fusionists will briug large corruption fund
into the State next week and use it in the
close Districts Republicans should be on
their guard and nail at once any man at
tempting to bride voter or using other
unlawful means to influence the election.

Clear the Decks.

But one more week remains for political
work in this State, and it behooyes Republic
cans to make the most industrious use of
that brief time. Every minute of it can be
profitably employed in converting the infidel
and strengthening the faith of the wavering.
Committees, State, county and town, are
actively engaged in the labors of the cam
paign; bat without the cordial assistance OF
Republican voters their efforts will be OF lit
tie avail. Every Republican who has the
success of the party at heart, who desires to
see Republican majority in both Houses OF
Congress, Republican Goyernro and Re-
publican Legislature in Maine, should con-
stitute himself committee of one, go TO
work con his own hook" look to it that
full vote is polled, and that every Republi-
can in his neighborhood entitled to cast a
ballot casts it. If all do this our triumph is
certain: for all that is needed to secure our
success at the polls is the calling out of the
full Republican strength. We have votes
enough if we can get them into. the ballot

BANGOR Wing: There is suspicion
abroad among the innocent Fusionists that
thew have been taken in by the so-called
s'independent Republican movement" The
Fusion managers are said to have given
$1,000 to help it along; they advertised it in
all their papers; they applauded it in every
way. Still it don't move worth cent. But
that isn't the worst of it. 1t turns out that
the alleged new party is engineered by form
er Plaisted men, and that most of its votes
will come from the Fason ranks. This is
sad, indeed. Here the benevolent and hui
name Fusionists have been feeding and ca
ressing this infant prodigy only to find that
it is a serpent clinging to and destroying
their very yitals. Base ingratitude like that
is objectionable.

THERE is still out enc Arctic expedition,
after all. Its members are clearly SHINING
against light, for they sailed frem Copenha-
gen last month, when the Jeanette and the
Ezra ought to have sufficed for dreadful
warning. The credit, or discredit, of the en-
terprise belongs to Denmark. The COM
mander, Lieut.. Hovgaard, is following
closely in the footsteps of Leigh Smith.
His Ultima Thule is Franz Josef land, on
whose coast he proposes to winter, in order
to be ready to ''push for the North next
spring in sledges. The boundaries of Franz
Josef are to be traced, and observations
likely to be of value for future explorations
in that quarter are to be taken. About
year hence somebody will be sent in search
of these fellows.

A PART of the increased Congressional
appropriations of the present year over the
last consists of the additional allowance of
81 200, 900 for the postoffice department. 1t
should be borne in mind that all the receipts
from that department go into the national
treasury, while its expenses are met by ap-
preparations which cover the total expense
of the department and not merely the excess
of expenditure over receipts. AS the post
office business increases year by year, OF
course the appropriations increase likewise,
and hence that for 1882 is considerably
greater than that for 1881. But while the
apparent outlay is considerably greater this
year than last the actual outlay is much less,
for the postofice department is, for the first
time since the war, more than sef-support-
ing. Third Assistant Postmaster General
Hazen states that although the returns Tor
the last quarter of the last fiscal year are not
vet in, the partment will, in the fiscal
year just closed, put surplus OF about
81 600, 900 in the treasury. The department
made both ends meet for one year only dur
ing the war, and before that it reached the
point of taking care of itself once in the for
ties and again during the fifties. The reduc-
ton in postage cut down the receipts in
each decade When business revived in 1879
the receipts of the postofice department
would have increased proportionately, had
it not been for the famous Kirby ruling,
which permitted the transmission of mixed
written and printed matter at third-class
rates. The revocation of this order and the
reduction on the star routes account for the
900 surplus.
PROF. Balfours untimely death in the
Alps was a great shock to the sensibilities
of those cautious English tourists who new
er 60 nearer Mont Blanc than the little inn
from which the ascent is pointed out 1t
was no consolation to them to know that
the man who accompanied the Professor
was one Of the most able and distinguished
of Swiss guides. The lesson of this last sad
accident-the fifth of the seasons that the
most experienced climbers cannot safely
pursue their adventures. 1t might, in fact,
be as we'll if the Alpine Club, of which Pro-
lessor Balfour was leading member, did
not exist, since all its members think it
their duty to run the risk not only of sacri-
ficing their own lives, but those of guides
who are brave enough or foolish enough,
to accompany them.
