owes the other /. debt of 1000 which he
declines % pay. The creditor for once,

pine of the church, and found clause to
meet his case, and drew up a statement
OF the case according to the church law
and presented it to the pastor, who cited
the offending brother to appear before a
committee and show cause why he re-
fused to pay the debt. Rules of evil

The Plaisted Party.

Just now the Plaisted party is crying
out in concert that the Republicans are
respondent. The term ''Plaisted party
is proper. The meetings, no matter who
speaks in the country, are advertised as
is no more. The Greenback party is
dead. The name of Fusion no longer
fits. Even the strange term Unionist is
out Of place. 1t has become the Plais-
ted party. He not only aspires to the
Goyernorshlp, but to the United States
Senatorship. 1t is asserted that he
said at SkoWhegan that the only con
test is between himself and Mr.. Frye for
the Senatorship. The SO called Indepen-
dent party is one of the things which is
strong in the next county. Here the
managers say there are only few, but
kennebec is alive with them. When
they hear Of a dissatfected Republican
they seek him ont, but the men sent to
convert him drive nine men in ten back
into the Republican ranks. Various names
are suggested fer the new organization.

A Description of Sam Cary.

In reply to an inquiry concerning Sam

meetings in Maine, an exchange reprints

Cary might be used to swell a procession,
to act as a fire alarm or fog horn (augh-

told by the late Sidney Smith, who said
that a farmer could always tell the num-
Der Of the coming litter by counting the
teats provided by kind nature for the
approaching family of swine. The witty
Sidney said that there was generally a
teat for each pig. But sometimes,
through an eccentricity Of nature, one
more pig appeared than had been pro
vided for. In this case the poor little
piggy went lighting from teat to teat,
driven off by the lawful possessor, until,
driven by hunger and desperation, it
would seize the caudal appendage of
the Indifferent mother, and then suck
and squeal and squeal and suck, until eX-
hausted nature found relief in death. In
this way, Samuel Fenton Cary has come
into this cruel world, without design and
of course without provision, and he has
gone fighting for a teat from party to
party, until at last he fastened on the tall
of the old Democratic swine, and there
he squeals and sucks and sucks and
squeals until Divine Providence shall re-
| move him to another and better world"

ly yielding to the evidences Of real merit
in many lines Of American manufactures,
and now the term "American' has large
~ ceased to convey the idea of shoddv in
articles sent there for sale, as was the
case formerly, To a great extent. Goods
adapted to the market are likely to be
more in demand. The consul at Creteld,
Germany, speaks of the frequent imita-
tons Of American goods and disregard OF
trade marks Nevertheless, dealers in
American stoves, sewing machines, agri-
cultural implements and labor saving
contriyances are doing tlourishing bus
mess. The consul at Cairo says the
opening of Soudan offers opportunities
for handsome profits in trade, farming
implements, rcvolyers and many other
articles being in request. At Auckland,
New Zealand, the universal desire is to
own an American watch. From several
points in Brazil and Mexico there are
advices favorable to the extension OF
American trade. Hardware is among
the goods particularly mentioned.

Scion Chase in Them Steers has this to
say about the Fusion ticket: "All honest
GreenbackerS must now see that the
Fusion ticket is no Greenback ticket, and
that vote for the Fusion ticket is vote
to put the Greenhack party out of sight,
and mind, you were told there was to be
no Fusion. Now you are told that every
Democrat on the Fusion ticket is Green
hacker. Your county conventions choose
committees of conference with Democratic
conventions to make Fusion tickets, then
you are told that the Democrats are Just
as good Greenl)ackers as you are. When
a dyed in the wool Democrat like Joseph
Dane, is put on to the Fusion ticket, all
the Fusion Greenback' papers in the
State put him right down as good a
Greenbacker as the rest of the ticket,

is only another name for the Democratic
ticket All men now must see there is
