course to be pursued in counting the
Electoral vote, but no action was taken
by the House. Congress reassembled the
first Monday in December. The Presi-
dents message met the general approval
of the country, and both branches went
to work with a purpose to accomplish
something. The report of the Tariff
Commission, provided for at the first SEES
sion, was presented, and the committees
of both branches are now at work on rev.
enue bills. By decided vote the Senate
has passed the Pendleton Civil Service
bill.

The report urges legislation upon the subject
of the rapid destruction of Holsters, and that
lobster planting should be res0rted to.
The planting of land-locked salmon has been
amply repaid in most gratifying results at
MOosehead, at Enfield and at Rangelev.
At Moosehead they have been captured on
the fly, from time TO time, for the last TWO
years. At Enfield, fish estimated at most eXag-
gerated weight, were seen on the spawning bed
this year, but in all probability fairly estimated
by one accustomed to judge correctly of the
weight of fish in the water, fully equaling ten
or twelve pounds. At Rangeley considerable
numbers have been taken by anglers for sew
eral years past.
In Rangeley lake alone. over fifty of two
pounds weight and over, We're taken by anglers
last June. More or less We're also taken in the
lakes below. Quite number were seen by The
Commissioner on the spawning beds in Range
ley stream in October, some of them very large
and estimated by him and others at not less than
ten OF twelve pounds. The return for the sub
scription of $500 to the Grand Lake stream fund
was slXty-nne thousand eggs, which were di-
vided equally between MOosehead Raneelev and
Enfield.
Deer have been very plenty. The effect of the
law and its enforcement, imperfect though it
may be- has been very marked increase of
these animals. A law, somewhat similar to one
i'll force in Nova Scotia, should be passed. for
bidding the killing of more than two or three
moose OF deer OF CARIBOU DN any one person.
The laws in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
and other Provinces of the Dominion, requiring
the payment of 1875 or $50 for permission to
hunt or shoot within their boundaries. by every
nonresident. has had the effect to precipitate
upon our State an unusual number of hunters,
mostly for market
Wild ducks are rare and to be seen but in lin
tied numbers, owing to the widespread crime
of batting and netting. Farmers who like to
vary the monotonous fare of their tables by an
occasional duck or bit of venison, must aid IN
fearessv testifying in all cases of infracions of
our game laws that come to their knowledge.
If the Commissioner had the means of en-
ploying competent detectives, he would soon
root out this evil of poaching, which now bids
fair to exterminate the fish and game of our
State. Woodcock and plover and many of our
ruffed grouse, in close-time, are still shot for
market, along our lines of railway by our own
and outside poachers.
Our insectivorous birds require protection.
There is a statute forbidding their being killed.
but as there is no penalty attached, it is value
less.

The Rockland Opinion, whose inconsistency
in the matter of newspaper credits we recently
exposed, reminds us that it is not obligatory to
credit articles taken from other papers. 1t is
an act of courtesy, however, to do so, and as
such is regarded by most journalists. The edi-
tor of the Opinion boasts of being an exception
to the rule. Well we will have no quarrel
with him on that score We are glad he finds
something in the journal worth stealing

The differing views with regard to tax

that there is trouble ahead for our Legis-

may as well make up their minds that
they cannot please everybody; and then
do the best they can. 1t is satisfactory

LUMBER SURVEYS AT BANGOR.

The Boston Journal correspondent learns
from the surveyor General that the total survey
Of lumber at the port of Bangor for 1882 was
1I2.1 .094 feet, divided as follows: Green pine,
9.jNl .294 feet; dry pine, 23,S26,14l hemlock,
etc.. lG.lA $50; spruce. l22 .230 The total
survey in 1881 was 1j4. 34S 49, and in 1880 123-
4j0,531 feet. Green pine is about the same AS
two Years ago. but ten millions less than in 1881.
Dry pine shows gain of 200 per cent. over
1850 and Il gain Of 90 per cent. over 1881. Hem
lock has gained 4 million feet since last year.
and spruce shout eighteen million feet. The
survey of spruce alone this year is about equal
tO.thr total survey Of 1880. 1t is thought that
1Go,090.ooo TO l15,G00,000 feet will be surveyed
in 1883. The PenobScot is fast getting back to
it, paimy lays.

A DUDE BOUNCED.

Occasionally honest folks have the
satisfaction of seeing one of the
species of ours known as "dudes'' re.
ceive his just deserts at the hands-or
rather, foot-of gentleman. There
was such an occurrence recently that
has been made public. 1t was at the
Grand Theater in London, England
last Saturday evening. During the
performance of Miss Minnie Palmer,
the American actress, large bouquet
was thrown to her from private box
occupied by three dudes. AS she
picked it up a note dropped from it,
and fell OIL the stage in full view of
the audience. The lady seeing it, as
she was leaving the stage, turned it
over to John r. Rogers, her husband
and manager. 1t proved to be an in
vltation to Miss Palmer, couched in
suggestive language, to take supper
with the three at the German En-
bassy. After the performance, Mr..
Rogers entered the box and Selling
the biggest of the trio thrashed him
soundly and elected him from the
theater. The crowd took the fellow
In hand upon learning the nature of
his offense, stripped him of his clothes
and peltcd him with mud until he
finally escap ID. The other two, fear
ing Mr.. Rogers's return and the indig-
nation of the audience, immediately
boltcd. Mr.. Rogers called at the Ger
man Embassy to-day to ascertain if
the writers of the note to Miss Palmer
were in any manner connected with
the legation, and was Informed that
the members of the German Embassy
were gentlemen, which fact Mr..
Rogers must see, which rendered fur.
Their inquiry in that direction unnec
essary.
While many who have noticed, with
Just indignation, the antics of the
species referred to, have RETAINED for
obvious reasons from administering
the proper castigaton, either with
boot, cane, or revolver, there will not
be a right-thinking man or woman
not person whose opinion is worthy
of consideration-but will feel sense
OF satisfaction in reading the above.
