told her mother what she knew and had seen.
To this the old gypsy replied, Gone day will
poison you also unless you hold your tongue"
OF course this statement caused Thekla Popov
and the widow of Kukin to be arrested. They,
however, denied the charge brought against
them. oddly enough, the Judge, by clever
ruse not quite in keeping with English notions
of fair play to accused prisoners, managed to
overhear the two women talking the affair over
in Jail Among other things he overheard was
K1kins widow saying to her accomplish,
"Well, am young and pretty; he was old and
ugly; why should he not dle?" The Judge
after that bad little doubt that the prisoners
were guilty. They were therefore put on their
trial, and the clue thus unexpectedly placed in
the hands of the authorities was actively fol-
lowed up Strange discoveries were soon made
showing that from the woman Thekla Popov
as centre vast and complex ramifcation of
crime extended far and wide throughout the
community The trial has been deferred for
several weeks so that the bodies of men sup
posed to have been murdered by their wives
may be exhumed and subjected to post mortem
examination.

THE Porte is very particular about the
way it does things. 1t has consented under
compulsion to proclaim Arab rebel, and to
send troops to assist the British. The for
mer has been done, but it does not count in
Egypt until ENJOYS have landed there and
Illuminated the proclamation with proper
ceremonies, and until this is done no troops
are to be forwarded. Turkey has habit OF
being very tardy about carrying out DEGREES
of the conferences. The delay in the settle
ment of the Greek boundary question is
case in point; and just when the present
programme will be carried out is dubious
matter. The probability is. however, that
England will not care particularly how long
the Turkish soldiers stay away. Under the
circumstances the value of their services
cannot be very great. They will not be liza
BILE to fight with much vigor where their in
clinations are against their orders. If there
is any possible loophole to make trouble
with any reasonable safety to herself Tur-
key is widely suspected of being ready to
take advantage of it.

Redeemed.

The result of the election yesterday will
be a subject of profound satisfaction to all
Republicans and to all thoughtful men who
care for the good name and fair fame of our
State. For four years we have been in
whole or I'M part under the control of the
motley crowd which gathered in disorder
ly mob under the Fusion banners, and that
four years have shown pitiful record OF
wrangling, malfeasance in Office, count-outs,
attempted usurpations and general disorgan-
ization, dsgraceful alike to the evil doors
and to the State which put them in public
place. Now the respectable elements of So
ciety have again assumed the control of af-
fairs, and the public business will be
again transacted in the prudent, decent
and orderly fashion to which we
had become accustomed through all
the years of Republican control. 1t is
a matter for which we all ought to be
profoundly thankful. Not less grateful and
happy should we be that we have again Sc
cured solid Republican delegation in Con-
gress, where we can contribute our full
share to the safe conduct of the affairs OF
the nation. The thanks of good men from
all parts of America, will today come to the
Republicans of Maine for the high service
they did for the nation yesterday.
1t is time for congratulations and hand
shakings, for happy hearts and joyous faces.
There is little chance that Maine will ever
again lapse from her high standard since
the sad experience of the last few years and
the sons of Maine can again hold up their
heads and look their brethren of other States
straight in the face without grief or shame
for their birthplace. The sun of this morn
ing rises on State redeemed and we give
warm greetings to all our friends and breth-
rem who have helped to achieve our great
deiverance.

Where He Got the Ice.


There was party of gentlemen the other
day on train on one of the roads coming in
to Nashville and none of the party being strict
ly temperance men, one of the crowd suggest
ed a drink. Another wanted to know where
to get it. All seemed willing, but the day was
warm, very warm. At last the fourth man in
the party said he had a bottle of fine cock
TAIL" which he would furnish if anybody
wo aid get ice. A fellow passenger remarked
he would do that if they would share with him.
He left the car and came back with plenty,
which was duly used: AS matter OF course,
in short time another drink was proposed
and the ice man kindly requested to furnish
that necessary article to cocktail, but with
his mouth watering for drink, every look one
of longing he said: Gentlemen, 1 want the
drink, and could furnish the ice, but am
afraid if l take any more off the corpse it will
spoil" To say that the crowd felt sick feebly
expresses it, and when they found that the ice
was from corpse they did not swear mentally
but openly.

CANADIAN immigration fell off last year
from the 125,391 of 1881 to 98,30S. Both
totals, however, include a certain unascer-
tainable number of immigrants from Eu-
rope who landed at Montreal and came into
the United States by rail, so that it is not to
be understood that the inhabitants OF the
Dominion are focking over to the States
quite as fast as at the rate OF 1OO,O0O year.
At Port Huron, III, ITO immigrants were re-
ported in 1881 and u, 424 in the year just
closed-a falling off of 39,746. The Domin-
ion officials claimed with considerable heat
last year that the record of III, 900 was the
result of continuous miscounts, but the new
returns indicate that it must have been
substantially correct; unless, indeed, there
has been another full year of false enumera-
tim

THE report of the British postmaster gem
eral, shows that postoffice savings banks are
steadily growing in popular favor in Great
Britain. At the close of last year the amount
of the peoples money deposited in these
banks for safe keeping was upwards OF
hundred and eighty million dollars more
than was reported at the end of the previous
year. This may be well enough for England,
but we do not want any more of the paternal
system of government in America than Is
necessary. Our local savings banks serve
our people well enough without creating any
postal savings banks, swelling the duties OF
the government officers and increasing the
government patronage.

THE New York Sun says: There is a
good deal of Illusion about the Use OF the
Nile. 1t seems to be thought that for few
weeks the delta and the valley of the Nile
are a lake, and then that they are muddy
swamp. The water of the Nile flows into
canals; from whence it is pumped every
morning. as long as the rise lasts, into
small rills, which permeate the fields, which
are thus irrigated every morning. The wat
err evaporates every day, leaving in the eV-
ening dry mud. Thus, except in some low
lying districts, there never is an expanse of
water or mud.

GOVERNOR Foster expresses himself as
sanguine of the result of the canvass in
Ohio. To correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial he said that ''There can be
no possibility of defeat if this temperance
question is carefully presented, and we pro-
pose that it shall be so presented. But it
will depend very greatly upon our ability to
force this issue. This is the absorbing topic
throughout the State, and l cannot see that
there is much else in the campaign. 1t is
one of the great problems of the future, and
that man must be blind indeed who does
not recognize it,

THE papers are endeavoring to bring
about an era of simplicity by relating that
the new duchess of Westminster, wife of one
of the richest men in Europe, was married
in a dress of white foulard, costing about 70
cents a yard. These papers forget that but
few ladies can afford to be married in SC
eheep a fabric. A. T. Stewart might have

4 THE German Chancellor, Prince Bismark,
seems to be unable to induce the German
Imperial Parliament to adopt the principle
of biennial budgets and quadrennial Parlia-
ments. His distrust of legislative bodies,
however, is no new Development in this
case, such actions having marked his entire
public career. 1t is certainly the most dan
gerous symptom connected with the present
German Empire. Sooner or later the strug-
gle must terminate either in the overthrow
of Bismark or the triumph of absolutism.

TIE Providence Journal, commenting up
on the remarkable development of our ma
tional credit aud the reduction in the rate OF
interest on the public debt, says:
The refunding CT the public debt at three
per cent has commenced in the allotment Of
numbers for the new bonds. IL would have
been believed to be utterly incredible when the
seven Der cent bonds were at less than par; it
was hardly 80 when the flour per cent began to
gradually advance above it. Yet 1t is an &C
complished fact, and it proves that the United
States can borrow all the money 1t wishes as as
low rate as Great Britain, whose credit has
heretofore been the highest on the globe.
THE Philadelphia News says the question
whether it is better to allow the Democracy
to take the State than by outVoting whip
them, is giving daily strength TO the regul ar
Republican ticket, the Republicans feeling
that that issue alone is paramount sto all
others.
