To Disgruntled Republicans

To Disgruntled Republicans
Cutting off your nose to spite your face is, to
say the least, an extreme measure.
From one cause and another, a good many
Republican voters are in peevish and surly
mood this fall. We are not speaking now of
Connectcut-happily the party here is united
aud harmonious-but of other and larger
states. A percentage of the Republicans Of
these states have,-or fancy they have
it comes to the same thing grievances against
their party. They object to this and to that
to the local party management; to President
Arthur's selections for the local federal offices
TO his failure to suddenly break off all personal
relations with old friends in New York; to the
candidacy of member of his cabinet, one OF
the abest and purest men now in public lifs,
for the governorship of that State; to the per-
formances, financial and literary, of the con-
gressonal committee; to things in general.
In one or two of the states it is unquestionably
true that the complaints against the local par
ty management have substantial foundation
in Justice.
But we have the right to assume that these
disconnected voters, notwi heta ding their dis
content, are still sincerely Ia he'd to Repub-
hcan principles and to the Republican parry as
the organic embodiment of these principles;
buAt tn6y WOulu regard Inc passage OF power 10
the other party as public calamity. And, as
Stunning this, we have few words to say to
them.
The House of Representatives which we are
electing this fall will take part in the counting
of the votes for President and Vice-President
in 1884, 1t will have before it for considera-
ton economical and financial questions of the
gravest Importance, directly affecting great in
terests, and indirectly but not remotely affect
ing the entire American people. For two years
it will have in its keeping the key of the ma
tionalItreasury
The Democrats hope, more confidently than
ever since the news from Ohio arrived, to cap
ture the next House of Representatives.
IL depends entirely upon the Republican vot-
ers in New York and Pennsylvania and Con-
necticut and other states. 1t will be wholly
their doing if the Democratic party is permit
ted to entrench itself in the popular branch of
Congress for the presidential campaign OF 1884,
They will have only themselves to blame for
whatever follows. The next House will be
Republican if all Republicans vote for the Re-
publican candidates. IL a sufficiently large per-
centage of them stay away from the polls by
way Of Furnishing" or "discipliniDg" or "re-
buking" their party, the next House will be
Democratic.

All these are household words to the citizens
of Portland; and they are only quoted here as
showing that our tender memories are one with
yours and that we appreciate the unequalled
beauty of your seaside location, with its
mountain views in the inland distance, and its
lines OF railway connecting you in every direc-
ton.
The numerous invitations We have received
from citizens, and societies will be kindly re-
membered by us, and the glorious excursion
through the Notch, arranged by General An
derson and lady, of the T. and .. Railway,
must be specially referred to as beyond any
other offering which might have been made to
add to our happiness. No Academy of Fine
Arts could have presented the least cores
pondence to the majestic panorama of pictures.
saluting our vision in all directions, radiant
and respendent in masses, and points and
combinations of color that no pencil might re-
produce, and whose perfect naturalness no art
critic might for an instant question. Our en-
Joyment was very much increased by the COM
panionship of the genial friends who had spread
this feast of delight for us; and their explana-
tions,-as their social presence-added very
much to our enjoyment. Allow me to assure
them that their own faces, surrounded by the
beautiful settings of nature which they brought
us to observe, will live in our memories, 10 y
forever To be able to bestow such pleasure
upon a party of appreciative friends, must, in
itself, bring degree of recompense TO the do
nors.
We lesye you and go back to our own homes
and dear ones, where we shall gladly bid you
each welcome when the tides of life sweep
you to our shores. But in our busy lives do not
imagine that the refreshing influences re-
ceived in Portland will depart from our spirit.

DEAR S1Rs--The courtesies which the Con
gress OF Women have received, during their
visit, at the hands Of the citizens of Portland
and its Press, calls for more special mention
than the mele passing of a vote of thanks at
our last meeting, although that vote was most
heartily coneurred in, by the members; and, as
our visits are, as relates to repetition, like
those of the angels "few and far between
and We shall not soon meet you face to face;
we feel it just to add a few special words to the
more general ones Of the resolution passed. We
have held many of our busy meetings in prom
nent cities of our land, but have never been
met with more Kindness and fellowship, than
in your pleasant City by the Sea. Our atten-
dance was not large, it is true, but 1t was of
good quality, aud though other of the same
quality remained at home, we we'll knew, by
cognizance of the overwhelming meetings OF
the previous week, how to account for inevita-
BILE lassitude and consequent absence.
Our entertainers have been untiring in their
attentions, affording us not only every physi-
cal comfort, during our sessions, but making
our further stay desirable, by exhibiting to us
the various sanitary and pleasure-giving re-
sources of Portland, in lovely drives, extended
views of the surrounding country and sea, and

situated side by side are exactly alike.
The distance from market, the demand
for special products, and. not the least.

And if the air vertically above any
one place becomes presently charged
with more than its usual dose of trans
parent water vapor Gas it easily may, by
various modes and processes of nature),
the spectroscope shows that fact i'm
mediately, even while the sky is still
blue; clouds soon after form, or thicken
if already formed, and rain presently be-
gins to descend.
But how does the spectroscope show to
the eye what is declared to be invisible
in all ordinary optical instrumental 1t
is partly by its power of discriminating
the differently colored rays of which
white light is made up, and partly by the
quality impressed on the molecules OF
water at their primeval creation, but only
recently discovered, of stopping out
certain of those rays so Disseminated and
placed in rainbow-colored order by the
prism and slit of the spectroscope, but
transmitting others freely. Hence it is
that, on looking at the light of the sky
through any properly adjusted spectre
scope, we see, besides the Newtonian
series of colors from red to violet, and
besides all the thin, dark Fraunhofer, or
solar originated lines, of which it is not
my object now to speak, we see, say, in
one very definite part-viz., between the
orange and yellow of that row of colors,
or spectrum" as it is called-a dark,
hazy band stretching across it. That is
the chief band of water vapor; and to see
it very dark, even black. do not
look at dark part of the sky or at black
clouds therein, but look, rather, where
the sky is brightest, fullest of light to the
naked eye, where you can see through
the greatest length of such well-illumined
air, at low, rather than high, angle of
altitude, and either in warm weather, or,
above all, just before heavy rainfall,
when there is and must be an extra sup
ply of watery vapor in the atmosphere
Any extreme darkness, therefore, seen in
that water-vapor band beyond what is
usual for the season of the year and the
latitude of the place is an indication of
rain-material accommodating abnormally;
while, on the other hand, any notable de-
ficiency in the darkness of it, other cir
cumstances being the same, gives proba-
bilitY of dry weather, or absence of rain
for the very want of material to make it;
and the band, therefore, has been called,
shortly, "the rain-band." Thus, also,
rain-band spectrOscopes have been
specially constructed by several most ex-
pert opticians in size so small as to be
carriable in the waistcoat-pocket, but so
powerful and true that glace of two
seconds duration through one of them
suffices to tell the experienced observer
the general condition of the whole at
mosphere. Especially, too, of the upper
parts of it, where any changes--as they
take place there almost invariably earlier
than below-enable such an observer to
favor his friends with provision of what
they are likely soon to experience.-Prof.
c: Piazzi Smyth, an Popular Science
Monthly.
