ing gentleman. One would not have sup
posed him day over sixty-fve, and yet he
was in his eightieeh year. He was one of the
old-fashioned, polished men, now, alas. so
rare; something akin to our beloved ex-
Senator Hamlin, who indeed was of his po-
lifical day and generation. We sometimes
wish that such days and such men would
come back again. or that an era would spring
mp with . new infusion of such genial and
manly men. No doubt, however, that there
are just as good minds and good hearts
among those we now see. but they
do not as = rule, manifest them in so kindly

The unanimous nomination of Senator
Frye BY the republican caucus of the Maine
Legislature is as gratifying to republicans
here As in Maine. While he is deserving of
it by reason of his energetic and successful
direction of the late election canvass in our
State, he is also enabled by this unanimous
action to use and command more powerful
and effective influence in the matters of leg
islation here, and should he live, his six
years service in the Senate will rebound to
the credit and interests of our common
wealth.

TaE MoRRILL-JONEs CASE.
A Decision that will Interest Importer
of Stock.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 8.
In the United States Supreme Court de-
cision of some interest to importers of live
stock for breeding purposes was rendered in
the case of Lot N. Morrill,, collector, plain
tilt in error, W. John w. Jones, in error. to
the Circuit Court of the United States for
the District of Maine. Section 2505 of the
Revised Statutes of Maine provides, THAT
animals alive, specially imported for breed
ing purposes, shall be admitted free of duty,
upon proof thereof satisfactory to the secre-
tary of the treasury, and under such regula-
tons as he may prescribe. Among other regula-
ton prescribed by the secretary vas one direct
ing collectors not to admit animals for breed
ing purposes free of duty, unless such ami
mails should be ''of superior stock adopted in
improving breed in America. Under this
ruling the collector at Portland, Me-, col
lected duty from the present defendant in
error, upon the number of animals imported
for breeding, but not in the opinion of the
collector of superior stock" The court
holds that the regulation acted on by the
collector was in excess of the power of the
secretary. The judgment of the court below
is affirmed. Opinion by Chief Justice Waite.

great engineer astonished his age IL interesting
only as an illustration Of the beginning OF the 10.
venton. There were plasters with holes in them
long before BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS PLAs
TER surprised both the public and the physicians;
and the triumph of the Capcine is founded uI the
partial successes, the utter failures of its prde
cessors Everything Of value in the old porous plas'
ter is retained in the Capcne but ut this point ali
comparison ends. and contrast begins. Fa
example
The old piasters were slow in their action; the
Capcine Is quick and sure.
The old plasters lacked the power to do more thar
to impart slight, temporary relief in cases easy Of
treatment; the Capcinc penetrates the system and
permanently cures the troubles for which it is rec.
commended.
The old plasters depended for any good resui''
they might obtain, upon accident Of their makers
and the naked faith of their wearers; the Bensons
reaches its ends by means of the scientific combine
ton Of the medicinal ingredients which Il
contains.
In brief, the old plas.ers, like Stephensons dis
carded engine, switched off the track, while the
Benson's goes on its way winning golden opinions
from all sorts Of people.
Yet In this very fact lies the leading danger 10 the
