THE TRELAwNEY PAPERS.

Bos ton and Massachusetts formerly monopo-
liked the literature connected with the origin
OF the New England colonies But of late
years Maine has come to the front and demon
strated her right to be heard on this subject, a
subject Of great and growing interest, not only
to the descendants of the colonists, but to the
coUn try at large.
Maine was colonized before Massachusetts,,
and the history of the earliest settlements
ahounds with romantic incidents. All that re.
lates to the men and women who came, the
places they visited, the towns and cities they
founded, should be diligently investigated,
and perpetuated with pious care. To this
grand work the Maine Historical Society has
devoted much time, talent and money. This
third volume OF Documentary History has
been edited by cur much esteemed fellow citi-
zen, Mr.. james P. Baxter, and will long re.
main monument of his industry, intelligence
and impartiality. The subject of this volume
is the original Trelawney grant or patent, un-
der which the original settlements were made.
Trelawney was an enterprising merchant of
Plymouth, England, much interested in the
enterprise of colonizing New England. Hav-
ing obtained grant of all the land lying be-
tween the 10th and 48th degrees of latitude, he
began to parcel it out to adventurous men on
liberal terms. The present volume relates to
Richmond's Island and the proceedings of Mr..
John Winter and his sonin-Jaw, Rev. Robert
Jordan, the minister OF the Cape, where his
descendants are now both numerous and iD1u :
connected with the early history of the Island
and adjacent community on the Cape. The
Notes and Comments of the editor are numer-
GUS and instructive. They evince careful and
extensive research, and convey great deal of
interesting and important information,
CLEANED from wide and careful study of old
letters, out-of-the-way documents, obsolete en-
actments and forgotten judicial contests and
decisions The quaint manners and odd Gus.
toms of the early settlers are brought wildly
before US, enabling the reader to rehabilitate
the society of his ancestors.
Massachusetts, owes her unique position
among the states to the prominence she has
given to her early history and the local pride
she had cherished. Maine has in her early
history the material for sketches of historical
interest, similar to those OF Massachu.
setts, none of which are more graphic than
those presented IN these volumes; among
which this third will take high rank It is
volume which should be owned and read by
every Portland family. The interest OF the
subject SO far from being temporary and evan
escent will increase with the lapse OF time
which will gradually effsce verbal traditions
and consign them to obscurity, the limbo of
lost memories Dean Stanley on his return
to England said that the presence of the lineal
descendants of the Pilgrims and Puritans at
their centennial celebrations were among the
most impressive scenes he ever witnessed and
made him feel as one might have felt among
the lineal descendants of the founders of the
Roman Republic.

Conveniently Dumb.

We regret to say, for we like to see har-
mony reign among our journalistic contem-
poraries of the same political persuasion,
that Gov Cleveland's denial that he wrote
letters 30 Democratic congressman last win
ter urging them to vote with Messrs. Nor
rlson and Carlisle rather than with Mr.. Ran
dali on the tariff bill, and Mr.. Il. L. Mel
sons half hearted admission that the init
mate friend of Gov. Cleveland who was re-
sponsible for such report may have been
mistaken, are not likely to allay the acri-
monious controversy which is raging be-
tween the Louisville Courier-Journal and
the New York World in regard to Gov.
Cleveland's tariff views. Gov. Cleveland has
not denied that his sympathies were and
still are with Carlisle and Morrison; all he
has denied is that he expressed his SYM
pathies in letters to Democratic congress-
men. So responsible gentleman as Prof.
Perry has publicly said that he knows that
at heart Cleveland is freetrader, and
though this statement has been before the
public for some weeks Gov. Cleveland has
not ventured to contradict it. As the mat
ter now stands the Courier-Journal has an
parently much better ground for declaring
that Cleveland is freetrader than has the
World for declaring that he is protection
list. Yet the World sharply arraigns the
Courier-J ournal and insists that in taking
the ground that Cleveland's election means
free trade it is betraying the Democratic par
ty.
One word from Cleveland would not only
settle this controversy, but also give the peo-
pie trustworthy information in regard to the
position of the Democratic candidate on the
most important issue before the country.
This information the people have right to
demand and the candidate who asks for
their suffrages ought to be willing TO give.
Mr.. Blaine bas already indicated in clear
and forcible language that he is a believer
in the policy of protecting the laboring
man of this country against the ruinous
competition of the pauper labor of Europe.
Mr.. Cleveland has as yet said not word
which betrays his sentiments on this ques-
ton. His letter of acceptance may be
searched from beginning to end without
finding SO much as glimmer of any opinion
he may have on the subject. All he has done
is to point to the Democratic platform and
declare that therein may be found his senti-
ment on this and every other question. That
In itself is an evasion for everybody knows
that the Democratic tariff plank is all things
to all men, Cleveland's Injunction to sttall
the TRUTH does not apparently apply to the
tariff question. Neither he nor his intimate
friends show any disposition to tell the truth
in regard to his views on that subject.
There are more votes in keeping silent than
in speaking out. Hence Cleveland is dumb.
Does his course in this matter indicate that
he is a person of sturdy honesty as his
friends claim or does it indicate that he is a
trimmer?

The New York press have been deVoting
about a column dav for week or more to
the elopement of Miss Morosin and a coach
man BY the name of Schelling. The Moro
SIM family derives its consequence almost
entirely from the fact that the head of it is
the partner of Jay Gould in the stock gam
bling business. 1t it has any other dstinc-
ton the papers have failed to mention it,
unless it be that Mr.. Morosini has a daugh
ter who is very silly and sentimental per-
son. The affair has not been left to the re-
porters, but the editors have taken hand
in it as we'll. One question which it has
given rise to is the proper way to bring up
girls, the editors pointing out that to Mr..
Morosini's bad method in this respect his
daughters elopement is largely due. Anoth-
er question which it has also suggested, and
which is being discussed with considerable
acrimony, is the relative standing in society
of the eoachman and haekman. The parti-
sans ofthe coachman allege that t. call him
hsckman is TO demean him, while the
friends of the latter contend that the hack
man is entitled TO precedence over the
coachman, inasmuch as the hackman is "his
own man." while the ceachman is a mere
servant. The only practical result of the
discussions SO far is the elopement of the
daughter of the richest man in New Rochelle
with a butcher. The relative standing of
the coachman and the hackmau seems to be
as far from settlement as ever, and there is
no indication as vet that aIy of the various
receipts for bringing up girls so they will not
run off with coachmen have begun to be put
into practice.

IN 1870 Scrofulous Ulcers broke out on my body,
= until my breast was one mass of corruption.
Some of these Ulcers not less than one and one
half inches in diameter, the edges rough, ragged,
and seemingly dead, the cavity open to the rome
and filled with offensive matter. Everything
known to the medical faculty was tried in vain.
Gradually the bone itself became diseased and
then the suffering began in earnest. Bone Ulcers
began to take the place of those hitherto the
face. became mere wreck. For months at a
time could not get my hands to my head because of
extreme soreness. Could not turn in bed Knew
not what it was to be an hour free from pain.
Had reason to look upon life itself as curse. In
the summer of $780, after ten years of this wretch
ed existence, began to use the CUTICURA RENE
DIES, and after two years persistent use of them
the last Ulcer has healed. The dread disease has
succumbed. All over the breast where was once a
mass of corruption is now healthy skin. My
weight has increased from one hundred and twenty
three to one hundred and ffty-six pounds and the
good work is still going on. feel myself new

The Albany Journal, acknowledging the
receiptof one of George William Curtis's
circulars requesting information as % any
infringement of the civil service law, says
that if Mr.. Curtis will put keen scented de-
tective at work in the capitol at Albany he
will find more than one Democrat who has
collected political assessments in violation
of law. Furthermore the Journal ventures
to suggest that Mr.. Curtis's confrere, Mr..
Schurz, now making Democratic speeches in
Ohio and Indiana, might be prevailed upon
to report the result of ali investigation of
political assessments on Democratic office
holders in those states, inasmuch as the

harmony with Mr.. Curtis's views. reports
that such assessments are being levied with
remorseless vigor on all Democratic Office
holders in the two states where Mr.. Schurz is

The. Cleveland press is getting nervous
again over their candidates private life.
They have apparently heard it limited from
some source that another statement i'm
peaching his private record much more dis
astrously than any yet made, is coming, and
there is great rage in consequence. With
out knowing any of its details they holly de-
nounce it as lie, and without scintilla of
proof attribute it to Mr.. Blaine. Instead of
getting angry, however, they ought to re-
joiee that tbs statement is coming. If it is
a lie, asthey ali agree, and is to be supported
by perjured afidavits, as they allege, it will
afford Gov. Gle veland an excellent opportu-
nifty to bring both civil and criminal pro-
ceedings against its instigators and spon-
sors for libel. The blunder be made in not
prosecuting Rev. DR.. Ball and the Buffalo
Courier, il this statement makes its appear
ance, he will have fine opportunity to re-
trieYe.

The latest motion of the Indianapolis Sen
tinel praying for a bill of discovery amounts
practically to the same thing as the motion
which it made the other day, and which
the court overruled. The only purpose of
making it is to stave off trial. The law
yers no doubt have magazine stored with
such motions, which they will continue to
fire off until after the Presidential election.
Then they will move to be allowed to crawl
out of their dirty scrape by making an obse-
quious apology. The Louisville Courier
Journal was right in saying that no such
scoundrelism was ever seen in a political
campaign as this Sentinel libel.

THE POEMS OF GEORGE ELIOT.

Matthew Brown in his interesting review Of
the spanish Gypsy" quotes the memorable
saying of DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes to the
effect that a poem is like violin, and should
be kept and used good while if one would
know what music is in it. These poems OF
George Eliot should be kept and well read in
order to be fully appreciated, for they lack thai
jingle which makes Poe, and that simplicity
which makes Burns popular; yet lines like
these should make the reputation of any
writer:
"Spring afternoons, when delicate shadows fall
Pencilled upon the grass; high summer moons
When white light reigns upon the quiet sea-
And cornfields flush with ripeness."
