Obsolete Campaign Methods.

Mr.. Reeds resolution introduced yester-
day doubtless has reference to recent &C.
currence in the Post Office department. Al
ready the Indiana Republican committee is
trying to raise money from office-holders for
the coming campaign. The following circu-
lar was lately laid on the desk of the Indi-
ana men and women serving In the depart
ments of Washington:
[ To Indiana Republicans in Washington: The Re-
publican State Central COMMITTEES ia now organic
ing the State for the ensuing campaign, and with
great confidence of success IL its efforts proper
Iy seconded Your attention is respectfully invited
10 the fact that money is now needed to meet the
expense of this preliminary work, and that the
committee must rely on your zeal and sense Of jus
tice tor assistance in this matter. The committee
has sent a subscription paper, asking voluntary
contributions from all true Republicans of the
State now in Washington, which has been placed
in my hands, and am ready to receive such sub
scription and remit the proceeds to the committee
The plan is to take monthly subscription for six
months, payable on the first Of each month. Please

Secretary Folger commended in the case
OF Whitehouse, the weigher in the Bos-
ton custom house, that he did not come
within the civil service law because he new
er wholly vacsted his Office in the custom
house. 1t has been discovered that the con-
stitution of New Hampshire provides that
no person holding an Office under the United
States shall at the same time hold seat in
the Legislature of that State Whitehouse,
it is admitted, occupied a seat In the
Legislature and therefore it is a fair pre-
sumption that he was not an officer in the
Boston custom house at the same time The
only way to rebut the presumption is by
confessing that he violated the fundamental
law of his State. But it is well known
principle of law that a man shall not be al
lowed to take advantage of his own wrong
Therefore Whitehouse would seem to be es-
topped from pleading that his case does not
come within the civil service law because be
never resigned his office in the custom house.
And If he is estopped from making such a
plea for himself, it is difficult to see how
any one else can make such plea for him.
Every such case of thickness to get around
the provisions of this law will only strength
en- the purpose of the people to have it en-
forced. II was gross violation of decency
for Whitehouse to attempt to hold an Office
in the Boston custom house and The Concord
State House at the same time.

Mr.. Blalne's Plans.

Some correspondents still refuse to consid-
er Mr.. Blaine out of the Presidential race
notwithstanding his protestations that he is
not candidate, and are busy as ever trying
TO discover the plaus which they profess to
believe he has laid for capturing the Repub-
licsn nomination. A very ingenious, and at
the same time very perilous, scheme in
which he is said to be engaged is that of
promoting the booms of all the prominent
candidates with the expectation that all of
them will be beaten in the convention and
then, out of gratitude for his assistance, will
transfer their strength to him. OF course
an indispensable condition to the success of
such a scheme as this is secrecy, for the
knowledge on the part of the candidates
that he was ass sting their rivals as well as
themselves would destroy the feeling of
gratitude on which 1t is alleged that Mr..
Blaine relies. 1t can safely be asserted
therefore that the newspaper exposure of
this scheme will compel Mr.. Blaine to aban-
don it. What plan he will next adopt we
cannot say. He may contrive TO expose the
P1VAuAhChb SouuiudtCc w oOLuc cplucMiC, OF
he may arrange to have them kidnapped Just
before the meeting of the convention. Either
of these plans would be fully as easy to car
ry out as the one the newspaper correspond
ents profess to have discovered snd exposed,
and neither of them is much more ridicu-
lous.
A late dispatch states that the Maine Con-
gressmen, when they choose to say any
thing upon the subject, say that they have
been positively informed by Mr. Blaine him
self that he is not candidate for the Presi-
dency, and that be will make no organiza-
ton to capture the nomination by delegates,
or as dark horse at the convention. 1t is
also said that the Maine congressman are
convinced that Mr.. Blaine would be glad to
accept the position of Secretary of State
under the next Republican administration.
Probably this is as correct statement of
the situation as anybody can give.

The DEVILS Own Egg.
A servant Girl Who Didn't Know tho I'D EN-
Eruit was LOADED.


We overheard farmer, Wednesday morn
ing, discussing eggs. "I've heard" said he,
"of aaighbors who got as high as SO cents for
eggs" Eggs, now laid, are scarce and high.
They retail 10 a number of Maine cities as
high as 40 cents per dozen. The ordinary
wholesale price, however, is 81 cents.
story of dire results of boiling lined
eggs is told in the Journal. well-known
Lewiston man living on Main street has a
hired girl who bought eggs the other day,
understanding that they were lined eggs,
but being no philosopher, she had failed to
appreciate that the lime fills the pores of the
eggs and that the result of boiling with the
shells on is the concentration of gases With
out vent. Providence, otherwise kind, has
omitted to provide safety valve with each
egg. Result, an explosion! The pent-up
steam patches. The lined egg in boiling
water is miniature Internal machine. The
hired girl was ignorant of this philosophy.
She didn't know they were loaded. The
Lewiston man was bringing in a bod of coal
when he heard a screech. 1t was a terrific
screech. The Journal would be held ac-
conntable for unwarrantable hyperbole if it
stated that that met the eyes of the Lewis
ton man was hired girl indulgingin war
dance. She had moved path from the
stove to the door and in circle around the
room. The cradle was nothing-a week s
washing and ironing on the clothes horse
was nothing hired girl snrawling and
mixing up among the weeks Washing Vas
nothing as proyocation of visibilities to the
outline of the girls physiognomy. Egg
closed her left eye and hot water her right.
Egg streamed over her chin. "The villainr
screeched she, 'swho loaded the egg?" sit
poppedF' said she "as if it was the DEVILS
own egg and | believe it was" Another
pop went off in the kettle. The hired girl
was bathing her eye while the man-of the
house lifted the cover. Our kind readers
will believe us when we say that an egg
went off and made a gorgeous landscape on
his countenance. The lady of the house
found two bandaged eyes when she arrived
on the scene. 1t is said to have taken an
entire day to convince the handmade there
was no dynamite in the eggs

At shin ceased firing-came within quar-
ter OF mile, found he rtopgallant sheets flying
aud topsail yards on the cap. Fret shot
over her which she returned. Continued fir
ing from the Teazer until 10. Ceased and
sent boat and asked them If they had struck.
They would give no other answer than that we
should not board them until morning. Con-
tinued firing for half an hour-then sent boat
well armed with the following orders, that If
they did not permit the boat to board her, that
the privateer would haul alongside of them
and put every man to the sword; upon which
message they permitted the boat to board and
take possession.
In Cogshall's American Privateers" he
thus notices the capture OF the "Orborne" by
the "Teazer'
Ship Osborne, ten guns, IS FOUNDER,
twenty-six men, from Gibraltar for St.
Andrews, in ballast, burthen 500 tons,
sent into Portland by the Teazer, af-
ter long fight, in which no person on either
side was injured. 1t is said the government of
Nova Scotia offered $4,000 for the Teazer.
This privateer carried only two guns, and at
the time she captured the Osborne had not
thirty men.
On the Oath the TeaZer arrived in Portland
harbor and was saluted by the prizes which
had already arrived
On the next cruise of the Teazer she wss
captured by Admiral Warren's fleet, and one
of the officers, at least, broke his parole by en-
tering on board another privateer at New York,
called the 'sYoung Teazer," without an ex-
change.

few days ago twenty-five persons were
crushed or scalded because an engineer ne
elected to consult his time table. Now
twenty-seven more persons have lost their
lives because the managers of religious in
stitution neglected to provide fire escapes.
The careless engineer has been arrested and
will probably be indicted for manslaughter.
The managers of the Belleville convent whose
earelessness was much more culpable than
the engineers, inasmnch as it was more de-
liberste, will probably escape any more seri-
GUS punishment than condemnation by The
newspapers. This ought not to be the case
The man who puts life in jeopardy by fail
ing TO provide fire escape ought to be held
as accountable as the man who jeopardizes
life by neglecting to consult the rules which
have been given him for guidance in un-
ming his train.

DYSPEPSIA.

Sedentary habits, mental worry, nervous
excitement, excess or imprudence in eat
ing or drinking, and various other causes,
induce Constipation followed by general
arrangement of the liver, kidneys, and
stomach, in which the disorder Of each
organ increases the infirmity of the others.
The immediate results are Loss of Appe-
tite, Nausea, Foul Breath, Heartburn, Flat
ulenee, Dizziness, Sick Headaches, failure
of physical and mental yigor, distressing
sense of weight and fullness in the stomach,
and increased Costiveness, all of which are
known under one head as Dyspepsia.
