The Maine Democrats have had con-
siderable trouble in collecting together
broken crockery enough from the back
yard of the Republican party with which
to set table in the Democratic fair. 1t
has been at last accomplished. 1t is very
droll to read in Democratic organs that
this lot represents the minority in the
Republican State Convention who voted
for Mr.. Thomas. This gentleman, like
the true and manly Republican we know
him 10 be, is cordially supporting his
successful competitor, Colonel Robie. 1t
is safe to say that all the delegates who
voted for him are following his example
The Republican Independents of Maine
will not number enough to make re-

The Southern POst-Omces.
A North Carolina subscriber writes L

Your article of August To- In regard to Southern
post Offices is true in every particular. II Is often
the case that the Democratic Congressman from
this district recommends the establishing of post
lines and Offices merely for the accommodation
and circulation of county paper, and as for Demo.
cratic speeches in Congress, it Is splendid means
to fill the country full of them. If Republican
article was sent it would never reach the people.
In this comfy We have thiry-two Offices, and in
all of them we have three solid Republicans.
What a showing. Only recently we had a petition
presented for our approval asking for line fl fly
miles long with about twelve offices Oh it, to be
filed by Democrats and when the real object
gained 1t is only TO further the interests of the
Democrats and an organ published here.

To the Editor OF THE REPUBLICAN:
The Half breed, Independent, and Democratic
papers have said many hard things about Presi-
dent Arthur which are known TO be untrue, but
the Post of this morning says things which, If true,
should convince the President that he is on the
wrong track. In an editorial, entitled Mr.. Ar
thur and the factions" 1t says, speaking of the
independents . he can rely on the respect
aud support Of the men who voted for Hancock"

Case for General Dudley.

The New Hampshire Democrat told another story
of fraudulent pension secured by one of his iel.
low.townsmen as an evidence of " Republican
rascalty at Washington" young man who had
but recently married went to the war He had
received large bounty, which he invested in u
house with q small piece Of land, aud therein he
installed his wife, and his fathcr, who was u
widower, went to live with her. lie
was killed in his first. battle, and the
woman, still claiming TO be his widow, has
drawn Il pension since his death. Some years ago
she married the father of her deceased husband,
the marriage is recorded on the town records, and
they are living together, and known in the COM
munity as man and wife. The town authorities
are aware of all these facts, and justify the fraud
on the ground that the town would have to sup
port the old man as paupcr but for the pc cnsion.
The name of the town where this couple live will
be given to any person entitled to that knowledge.

Senator Hill 1t might be said, administered on
his own estate during his lifetime. Most of his
property disposed of before he died by gifts TO
his children and his wife. His will is short,
merely disposing Of the remaining part Of his
property and giving directions about things that
he wished done and in which the public could
feel no interest. Mr.. i. II. Hill, jr., is executor.
In item 6 is the following: now give and be
queath to my wife and children that which somo
df them now possess and which assure them, in
full view of death, is far richer than gold and
more TO be desired than all human honOrs. God

The chimpanzees from Sierra Leone which ar
rived in New York week ago are now NJ home to
visitors in the Geological Garden in Philadelphia.
As their names, Topsy and Molly, indicate, they
are of the softer sex. Both are young, but Molly
is still entitled to be called n baby. They are
amazingly intelligent, and unpleasantly like the
human family in looks and ways. Their chei
diversions, aside from flirting with the visitors,
arc eating bananas and teasing an ourang- outang
