A Novel Mode OF Suicide.

NEW York, Aug. 2.-Louis Meyer, a
German butcher in Winfield, N. j., and a
suicidal monomaniac,. after revolving in his
mind the various known modes of
self-murder resolved to discard them
all. The thought at last occurred
to him that in the history of suicides he
had never heard anythingof man deliber-
ateiy freezing himself to death. To be the
first of those who died that way would seem
to be an honor, and he quickly acted on the
suggestion of his mind. He locked himself
up in the large ice-box of his store, and
while the temperature without was wander
ing among the nineties his blood froze, and
the sleep Of death came upon him.

Ex-Secretary Bristow who is practicing law in
New York is said to favor the nomination of Presi-
dent Arthur, who, he says, has done more for
civil-servce reform than any other man."
There is no "thrill'' in any part of the country
for any candidate outside of few newspaper of

there will none during the campaign. There

there is, somebody will make mistake.-Boston

We are sorry to lose Mr.. Randall; sorry to lose
MI. Eaton, though some of their followers we do
not care much about anyway. But they have made
their choice and must abide by it. If these gentle

igal sons it viii be matter to be considered,
though we hope in any event the party will not
waste much prime veal upon them.-Boston Post.
1t is Arthur's wise management since he was

THE DYNAMITE POLICY.
Views of Irish Leaders in Paris-lIOst of
them Condemn H.

them Condemn HI.
LONDON, April 21.-The Paris correspond
ent of the Times has been interviewing sew
eral of the prominent Irishmen in the French
capital, such as Patrick Casey of the Moniteur
UNIVERSAL James Stephens, formerly the Fe.
MAN head centre; John O'Leary, who used to
be the editor of the Irish People, and Father
Hogan, of the Catholic College Of st. Sulpice.
The results of these interviews are given in
the Times this morning. Casey is strongly in
favor of the dynamite policy and upholds the
Irish Invincibles in the doctrines they avow
and the conrse they pursue. He declares it
probable that the dynamite policy will be ex-
tended to the blowing up of Atlantic passen-
ger steamers and afterward of merchantmen,
thus running England's commerce. James
Stephens, however, condemns the principles
and practices of the dynamiters and advocates
the dynamite policy, he thinks, means the GER
tain death OF revolutionary agitation during
the present generation, and, perhaps, forever.
1t may besides this, lead to the expulsion of
Irishmen from England. John 0'Leary like
wise disapproves of the dynamite policy on
the ground of its inexpediency and criminal
character. He is in favor OF open rebellion. A
war between England and Russia, he thinks,
would give the Irish chance to strike
an effective blow. He was sorry to say that
people in America were not adverse to the en-
ployment of dynamite.
Father Hogan thinks that explosions do Ire
land no good. Rather, he says, they ALLEVIATE
from the Irish cause many honest people
who would otherwise support it, "The action
OF the dynamiters," he says, sis morally a
crime, politically blunder and socially dis
aster. Ireland will get home rule in the course
of time. If tse recent concessions had been
granted some years ago, Ireland would now be

Marshal Andrews Order.
lewiston Journal)
Such instructions ought to he unnecessary,
as every Portland policeman has taken an
oath to enforce the laws to which City Mar
shall Andrews calls attention. but laxity on
the part of the police in performing their
plain duty undoubtedly was the sufficient rea-
son for the issuance of these special orders by
the Marshal. If the police try to do their
duty, prohibition will prohibit in Portland and
the sale of liquor will be placed on the same
level as other crimes.
Correct.

Our present Governor has ruled wisely and
Ae disflAa With the responsible duties Of his
satisfaction to all classes Of people. His tenure
for one term has enhanced the public respect
for him, and that he will be renominated with
great unanimity, goes without saying. The
convention to occur at Bangor will have an
easy and pleasant work to do in regard to the
nomination, and we apprehend no difficulty as
to the platform. The Republican landmarks
are well defined, as to State and leading
National questions, and no startling deyiations
are to be expected.

WEST INDIES.
The Situation i'm Cuba-Aguero's Move
ments-The Authorities Criticized by
Several Newspapers.

Several Newspapers.
NEW YORK, April 21.-Havana advices Of
April II say that the reliable account of
Aguero's movements from the time he pene-
trated into the rich jurisdictions Of Colon and
Cienfuegos is as follows: Shortly after landing
he took to the dense forests, but prior to doing
so he obliged the authorities of q neighboring
settlement to furnish him with a substantial
breakfast Until the 9th nothing was heard of
him. On that day he appeared on the planta-
ton of Mercedes de Juneo quite near the viii
lage of Simonar, where there Is a post Of civil
guards and volunteers On this plantation he
found three negroes in the stocks. These and
others he liberated, placing in the stocks the
overseer Of the slaves. He then proceeded to
the plantation of Olimpho, whence a messen-
ger was despatched to Cardenas The messen-
ger returned with provisions The march was
resumed and continued to the plantation Suris,
where the party seized large number OF
horses and impressed the overseer as guide.
On the 9Th the whole party was at Manquito,
where it burned two houses, the headquarters
of the civil guard and station, and the ware.
house OF the railroad at that point.
Several papers severely criticiSe the inability
of the authorities to promptly annihilate these
insurgents who are now so formidable. The
leading journal of Havana says: 1.-THE numer-
GUS force of the government has commenced
very unluckily their second campaign against
this celebrated bandit, for so far from meeting
| him face to face, he and his party crossed in
front OF their very noses and escaped safe and
sound from the neighborhood of Cardenas to
that of the swamps of Seapots, where he now
| is. 1t Is therefore not sufficient that General
Castillo should send powerful bodies of troops
| to pursue the insurgents. 1t is necessary that
such troops should be commanded by officers
who know what they are about"
La Union Constitutional of Colon says: Cal.
ready this sadly celebrated bandit and his men
| have taken possession of their old field oil
| operations, where, familiar with the territory
| and inhabitants, they will hold in check large
bodies OF troops, and where their capture will
| be very difficult"
| A letter from the managing editor of the
| most important paper published in the West
| Indies, the Diario de la Marina of Havana
saws: "In regard to the situation in this island
| it has been exaggerated by statements in
| Havana papers The crisis we are passing
| through is of consequence rather on account o.
the effects which it momentarily produces
| than on account of any far reaching result
| which may possibly come about. 1t Is really
| of no especial Importance here, nor does tn.

Especial to the Press.l
STEEP FALLS, April 21.-The Saco is higher
at this place than it has been at any time
since the great rise in the spring of 1870. The
water is still rising slowly this morning. No
damage to mills or other property as yet, ex-
cept two or three posts have been broken off
under the mills belonging to the estate of To-
biae Lord and the large mills are liable to go
out at any lime, if the water continues to
rise or the main boom above the mills across
the Saco should break and let down the large
drive of logs in it. The boom and mills have
been strengthened by chains and the hopes
now are that the water has reached its height
and that the crisis is about passed. If the
boom breaks or mills go t,much damage may
be expected to mill property on the river be-
low.
