MAINE MILITIA.
Gen. j. Marshall Brown Elected Briga-
dier General.

In accorda nee with paragraph Ill of General
Orders No. 81, an election of Brgadier Gen.
eral who should be the commanding officer of
the First Brigade NJ. v NJ, was held at the
Office of the adiutant general Monday after
noon in Augusta. All the field officers who
consti tute the electing power were present,
namely; Col. j. M. Brown, LIST Regiment; Col.
II. L. Mitchell, I'd Regiment; Lieut. Col. I'll.
M. Sprague, 1st Regiment; Lieut. Col. f. FL.
Strickland, I'd Regiment; Maj. e. Fl. Ballard,
LIST Regiment; Maj. n G. Stowe, I'd Reri-
ment. The election resulted in the choice of
John Marshall Brown of Falmouth as briga-
der general commanding the First Brigade,
aud the commanding officers of the Several or
CARNATIONS comprising the militia will report
directly to him. Gen. Brown made the follow
ing appointments on his staff: a. NJ. Sprague
OF Auburn. Asst Adjt. General f. H. Strick-
land of Bangor, Brigade Inspector; Sterling
Dow OF Portland, Quartermaster; William
W. Whitmarsh of Norway, Commissary; A.
ii. Plaisted of Waterville, Aid de Camp.
An election to fill vacancies of colonel and
lieutenant-colone in the 1st Regiment Infan.
try, M. V. NJ, caused by the promotion of Col
Jno. Marshall Brown to the office of brigader
general, and of Lieut.. Col. Fl. Nj. Sprague to
the office of Asst. Adjt. General, has been or
dered by Adjutant General Beal, at the head
quarters of the regiment at Portland, on Sat-
urdsy next at 2 O'Clock p. IN.
The names prominently mentioned in con-
nection with the colonelcy are Col. j. Il.
Richards of Gardiner and Coils. Lynch and
ODoncghue of Portland. We do not under
stand any of the gentlemen are applicants for
the position but any one of them would make
GOOD colonel. As far as this election is con-
cerned the Portland companies will have an
important voice in the matter and they should
consider it carefully. There is one thing GER
tain, either the brigade or regimental head
quarters should be in Portland. Although the
brigade eommander is resident in this vicin-
ity it is intimated that the brigade headquar-
ters will be in Augusta The first regiment
headquarters have always been in Portland.
They properly belong here. Gen. Lynch is an
admirable soldier, aud has earned great rep
utation as an organizer and drill master in the
Montg merry Guards and as Inspector General.
In his hands the first regiment would be kept
up to high state of efficiency. Col. O'Don-
oghue is also man of fine military training,
former commander of the Montgomery's and
adiutant general on Gen. Chamberlain's staff.
Both Col. O'Donoghue and Gen. Lynch reside
here. Col. Richards is man of old family,
which carries much prestige with the position,
is man of fortune and bears record as a
gallant officer during the war, and more re-
Gently has commanded the Gardiner company
named for him. Any one of these gentlemen
would adorn the position but, 1t seems to us,
that with the election it should be understood
whoever is elected the headquarters will re-
main in this city.

Fallacies Regarding Alcohol.

One of the most common fallacies with re-

more capable of enduring fatigue, competent
to accomplish greater amount OF work in a

mate, or in a word, that "alcohol gene rates
force" To science and experience we must
turn for an answer to this claim OF the value
of alcohol. "Alcohol," says Dr.. Edward
Smith, sis not true food; it inierferes with

Chambers. "that We must cease to regard alec
hol as in any sense an alment." "It is" says
DR.. Markham, "to all intents a foreign agent

force, all psychologists agree that it is food that
enables the muscles TO be nourished, and the
