"A Nut for Greenbackers.

A Washington correspondent of the Bangor
Wing calls attention to the want of that har-
mony in South Carolina between Democrats
and Greenbackers which now exists in Maine.
He says:
AS if it were not enough that the Bourbons
of Alabama should have bulldozed and cheated
the Greenbackers of that state out OF their fair
~ elected members of Congress, and that the
Bourbons of Texas and Missouri should have SO
redistrcted their states as to defraud the Green
hackers of half dozen members Of Congress,
they supplemented this work with the assass-
ination Of ". r. Blair, one of the Greenback
leaders in South Carolina, who was liable to
become uncomfortably strong as candidate
for Congress, and as leader of the indepen :
dent host"

OWEN, MOORE & co
The Largest ana Finest Store in the Bus
mess in New England


Oven, Moore & Co. threw open their newly
extended store to the public last evening, and
from 8 p. M. to 10 p. M constant stream Of
humanity flowed in and out. The store is
probably the largest and handsomest in the
fancy goods line in all New England. 1t is
200 feet deep by 40 feet wide, is lighted and
ventilated by day by ten large sky lights, and
a long row of windows in the rear as we'll as
the front entrance, and by night, five electric
lamps throw food of light from one end to
the other. The assortment of goods is exceed
ingly varied and rich. In the centre there are
$50 feet of glass cases alone filled with Japan
csc bric-a-brac and fancy goods. The walls are
tinted beautiful gray and surmounted by a
rich moulding to harmonic with the store fit
tings in highly polished cherry. All the de-
partments have been largely extended, the
gentlemen's furnishing department reaching
one hundred feet. One of the most charming
features of the store last night was the artistic
arrangement of laces, hosiery, spool silks and
cottons, in which the various colors were har-
moniously blended.
There is beautiful little parlor,with hand
some portiere at the entrance, in which all the
furniture is for sale and is of the nobbiest pat
terms When sold new furniture in new de-
signs will take the place of the former and SO
on ad Sntinituns. The fireplace and mantel is a
beauty, and boasts the new style basket CRATE
hung on a crane. The ladies' goods depart
ment, purchased from the Misses Simontons, is
pronounced feature, as is the elegant cabinet
for spool silks and the department of children's
suits and ladies' bathing suits. In laces there
are sets valued at $1,000, and in travelling bags
and fans those that command S75 apiece. We
only mention few things because we should
otherwise be compelled to devote half of the
paper to the many attractions. The electric
bell system will superceee the calling "cash''
continually. The boys, clad in neat uniforms,
occupy bench near the basement store, and
each after answering call, takes his seat at
the end of the bench and moves up as his pre-
decessor moves.
Thursday grand excursion will visit the
store from the Kennebec, over the Maine Cen
trail, and cannot fail to be delighted with the
mammoth establishment, and will also be fur
nished with free tickets to visit the grand ex-
hibition of paintings of the Society of Art in

THE TIGHT ROPE.
Agile Performances by an Independent
Paper.
Boston Journal


Our balancing contemporary, the Herald
for several weeks poured hot shot into the Flu
sion combination in Maine, to the astonish-
ment and delight of Republicans OF that
State, and the equal establishment and disgust
of the Fusionists, who have always regarded
the Herald as sturdy advocate of their cause
But it could not last; denouncing Maine Dem
ocracy and Fusion must have an offset that in
dependent journalism may be vindicated
Consequently, the correspondent who attends
to Maine politics has written long letter, in
which Mr.. Dane, whom he mercilessly ridi.
culed two weeks since, is made an able and
patriotic man, and Governor Plaisted is to be
elected by the non-scratchers and the hun
dreds of old Democrats who would not vote Tor
him in $780, Maine Republican papers vii
not copy this letter, but the Democratic and
Fusion organs will; independent journalism
amount Of advertising secured without ex-
penditure from both sides.

The Geneva Award.

The Court of Alabama Claims, under act of
Congress of May last, will soon convene at
Washington to determine the distribution OF
the Geneva Award money. Over $1,500,000 OF
this is due TO, and should come to sailors, OIL
GERS and ship owners of our State. OF the
claimants through the United States, more
than 1900 in number are officers and sailors
They are entitled to pay for clothing and wag-
es lost at the time of the capture of the vessels
they were serving on by Confederate cruisers.
More than 300 of the number are of our State,
and should get at least $250,O0o Many poor
families along our seaboard will be benefited
by the award money, too long withheld by our
government. So many years have elapsed
since the losses, and even since Great Britain
paid the money to our government for distrI-
button to all sufferers by acts of the cruisers,
that many claimants are dead, but the widows
and heirs are entitled to recover for the losses
of husbands and fathers
