The Planets in July.

The stellar contributor to the Providence

study to note the rising Of the morning stars
during July, as they appear one after anoth-
Or above the horizon. Neptune Is first of
the five and rises ON the 1st at 1870 a. m. On
the 31st he rises about 11.30 p. No. Mars is
morning star and will be in conjunction with
Saturn on the morning of the goth, both
planets rising that morning soon after / a.

a more splendid appearance at his coming
opposition than he has done for nearly thirty
years. His widely open rings, his high
northern declination, and his approaching
perihelion, form specially favorable condi-
tions for observation. These conditions
win sulmiRats In 1855. Saturn rises On the

Concerning Cleeves.

The Grafton delivered Independence Day
was most fitting tribute to the memory OF
the first settler of Portland. The published
chronicles Of Colonial days have done scant
Justice TO sturdy George Cleeves, who landed
here two centuries and half ago, got
housing near Clay Cove, begot children, and
founded the rude town of Falmouth, now
the fair city of Portland. The antiquarians
have narrated this story of enterprise and
adventure, but the tale was never told so
graphically and picturesquely as it was told
BY Mr.. Thomas in City Hall Wednesday.
The celebration of the Fourth was admi-
rably planned and ably carried out. 1t re-
hectec credit upon projectors and executors.
Everything was well conducted. The hap
piest feature, however, to our mind-and
certainly the most instructive-was the ac-
count of the life and services of Cleeyes,
and the unwilling of the monument to his
memory. for this monument we are in
debted to the public spirit of another meri
torious citizen, Mr. Payson Tucker. The
PRESS furnishes its readers with a full ac-
count OF the proceedings of the day, and is
especially glad to present them with the text
OF the Grafton and the complete description
of the ceremonies observed at the unwilling
of the memorial slab

As might have been expected, the English
Ministry vigorously denies the charge of
sending paupers to this country, and Mr..
Trevelyan, the Chief Secretary for Ireland,
goes so far as to declare that no persons I'M
able to support themselves have been sent
out Of Ireland; that he has seen their tick
cts and knows what he is talking about.
Against this positive declaration of the Sec
Rotary, which ought to be conclusive but is
not, there lie the statements of the authori-
ties Of New York and Boston, who declare
just as positively that these people are pau
pers; that they came from the work houses
OF Ireland with money given them by the
Master of the House, and that they not only
have no relatives in this country, but do not
know where to go when they get here. The
probability is that the Irish Secretary has
either been grossly misled by somebody or is
trying to mislead in his turn. The inquir-
les made in the House of Commons will
hardly be likely to bring out the truth, since
the truth is exactly what the British govern
ment is determined shall not come out

IT is suggested from the somewhat con-
federate direction of Richmond that the for
eign purchasers of confederate bonds may
know of balances TO the credit Of the rebel
government lying idle abroad and contem-
plate attaching them, or may already have
such balances in their possession and are
purchasing the bonds as an offset and a
salve TO their consciences for appropriating
the cash. If there is any money abroad to
the credit of the rebel government it ought
to be known in Richmond, but the money
Itself belongs to the United States. The
idea, however, is too improbable to be
worth great deal of attention.

INTERESTING observations by Pension
Commissioner Dudley: Senator John E.
Mcdonald will be the easiest man to beat in
Indiana in 1880 the Democrats can nominate
for the Presidency. With Mcdonald at the
head of the ticket the issue will be free
trade, pure and simple, and 1t has been dem
onstrated that the popular sentiment of the
State is against free trade. The vote of
1880 shows that. and If anything the protec
ton feeling is stronger to-day than it was
then, in my opinion"

THE defeat of the deceased wife's sister
bill in the House of Lords through ecclesi-
astical influence has set people to thinking
what useful purpose Ia served by giving the
bishops vote in Parliament. Anyhow,
their presence in the upper House is pc
culiar illustration of the tenacity with zAileifs
the -EEingflsh people cling 20 the the faditions of
their history. 1t is survival from the
times when the affairs OF State were in the
hands of the ecclesiastics and whea the
Lords spiritual had large landed estates.
But the times have changed since then, and
the presence of the bishops in the House of
Lords is an anachronism.

Mountain Fires.

For the past few days a large fire has
been raging in the mountains not far
from this place, and apparently is
growing larger and coming nearer. Its
origin or extent cannot now be fixed,
but it is evident that thousands of
acres of valuable timber is being de-
stroyed. Much alarm is felt by settlers
who are located near the base Of the
range lest the destroying element
sweep down upon them.
To try to discover its extent or ORR
gin we crossed the first range a day or
two ago, but while the smoke was
abundant it was evident that the fire
was some miles distant. Since that
time, however the indications are that
it ha, been making rapid progress, and
yesterday an object 1000 yards distant
was invisible even in town from the
smoke. The game is being driven out in
great numbers-quite a number Of deer
having been shot not far from this
place. 1t is to be hoped the destroying
element will not descend to the prairie,
since in the dry condition OF the grass
serious danger may ensue.-Buffalc

Loose Mail Service.

j. D. Stacey is west looking after the
terday seeking such information as
would give him a ''cue' as to the
working of the service in this territory.
| His object is to correct such evils as
the citizens may complain Of, If posi-.
BILE. He tells Of a singular occurrence
which happened in Colorado not long
since. An out of the way p~ostofice in
the mountains was suspected of having
being conducted loosely, and a detec-
tive was forwarded in due time to in
vestigate. He found the office was
kept, or allowed to stay, in n Of the
corners Of a prosperous saloon. . The
detective stood on watch for few days
and observed that when an individual
wanted his mail, all he had to do was
to go to a cupboard, throw the mass of
| mail on the counter and select what he
wanted. The detective interviewed
the saloon keeper IN the subject and
protested against the loose name of
keeping the mail. The saloon keeper
to illustrate his point took from his vest
pocket a twenty-five cent piece, frac-
tional currency, and said: 'See here,
stranger, do you see this?" holding out
the currency. "This is what L make
keeping your id p~ostofice. And do
you see thisp" holding out a roll of
bank notes as thick as the Maori boys
arm, ''this is what 1 make out of the
saloon" The detective continued to
protest and the saloon man continued
to grow more angry until he
could not restrain himself long
or, and taking up the
case, cupboard or whatever
it was, dashed it into the street, mail
and all. CONSIDER yourself under ar
rest, sir" put in the detective. IAN
right, pard, just name your fine. All
L want is to get rid of your ID
postofice," was the response. He &C
companied the detective to the JUSTICES
| office, paid a Hne of fifty dollars and
seemed satisfied with the result.
Such is but a sample of the postofice
keeping in some of the outlying dis
tricts. The pay that accrues is by no
means sufficient to justify anyone CIV
ing the mail particular attention.
there is no reason why the department
should not pay a sufficient salary to
warrant a careful and safe handling Of
mail in all parts of the United States,
For many years the mail service in the
south was a non-paying service and
why should it not be in the prospect
lively prosperous west.
