the MAINE ELECIlON.

Returns from the Maine election,
which occurred yesterday, are meager.
The vote as thus far received. compared
With that OF 1882, shows decided Re
publican gains. In that election the
Republican majority was ss72. From
present indications it probably reached,
II not exceeded, u 900 yesterday. This
insures an increased majority for
Blaine and Logan In November, and
will have an inspiring effect upon Ohio
Republicans at the election in that
State next month.

A LINCOLN STORY,

Just after the publication OF Secretary
Chase's exceedingly able Treasury report
in 1868, and when the secretary was
known to have the presidential bee buzz
zing in his bonnet, a Jealous friend of
the president went to him (Llncoln) with
a suggestion that Mr.. Chase shoald be
looked after; he was using his power as
secretary of the treasury to further his
own ambitious schemes. Lincoln
laughed shrewdly and brought out the
inevitable story of which he was remind
ed. An Illinois farmer, hliug q few
acres OF land employing only one poor
old horse, was plowing one day, while
his son regarded the operation from The
nearest fence. Suddenly the old. spirit
less horse uricked up his ears aud start
ed briskly onward in the furrow, almost
dragging the old man at the plow-tail
around the land. The lad surveyed the
unusual sight from the fence, the old
man having hard work to keep up as tho
horse went flying around. ana then he
cried out: Say, dad, why don't you
brush off that gad-hy on old Dobbln's
back?' AS he flew past the old man
replied: Il never saw Dobbin doing 20
well before. Let the cad fly be " How
Lincoln made the application any man
can tell. And if there are any high offic-
ials so troubled with the presidential gad-
fly that they are doing unusually well, it
is pity to disturb them now.
