apr 2G "

Alabastine is the first and only preparation
made from calcined gypsum rock, for appli-
cation to walls with q brush, and is fully COW
cred by patents and perfected by many years
OF experiments. 1t is the only permanent
wall finish, and admits Of applying us many
coats as desired, one over another, to any
hard surface, without danger of scaling, or
noticeably adding to the thickness OF the
wall, which Is strengthened and improved by
each additional coat, from time to time. It
Is the only material for the purpose not de-
pendent upon glue for It's adhesiveness.
Alabastne is hardened on the wall by age,
moisture, ETC., while all kalsomines or whit
enlng preparations have inert soft chalks
and glue for their base, which are rendered
soft or scaled in very short time.
In addition to the above advantages,
Alabastne is less expensive, as ii requires
but one-half the number of pounds to cover
the same amount OF surface with two coats,
is ready for use by adding water, and easily

A Saco letter to the Biddeford Sentinel
dominates for the Democratic candidate for
Congress in this District Col. John M.
Adams, the editor of the Argus, and booms
him In the following handsome fashion:
As public man and editor his name is spotless
and clean and his private life is model of purity.
He has strong personal magnetism, pleasing address,
and kind, sympathizing heart. While the rich
may well prize his favor, the poor ever fad in him
friend. Now in the vigor of good health and life,
he 10 worthy descendant of stern Puritanc stock,
rs both his grandfathers were revolutionary fight
ing patriots, which fact furnishes the most con-
vincing reason Of his Spartan fidelity to New
England interests. He is not only true temper
ance man, but temperate man. being total
abstainer from all intoxicants. He is in practical
sympathy with every laboripg man. In passing
near his fine residence at Woodford's one forenoon
last week, he was seen welding huge sledge,
breaking up fragmental schist for improving an
other of his eligible lots. When we first saw him
it was difficult to believe that the Juan putting in
those vigorous blows, and clad in a aborer's suit
covered with the dust of the impact of his work,
was really Col Adams, editor and proprietor of the
best paper In the State.
HCol. Adams runs for Congress this Fall
be will want to keep on that laborers suit all
the time for we foresee that the impact of
the work will be very dusty-for him.
Breaking up fragmental sehist is boys sport
In comparison. But the Colonel is hard

confidence.

The Philadelphia Medical Jurisprudence
Society has been discussing the propriety OF
killing people who are idiots, monstrosities
or fatally sick. DIR. Leffernan read paper
on the subject in which he was inclined to
support the affirmative side of the question,
simply, however, he explained, for the pur-
pose of "rousing debate" We believe Ma
poleon suggested some idea of this kind dur
ing his campaign in Egypt. The surgeon
whom he was addressing replied that his
business was to cure not to kill. This hap
py method of terminating an improbable
discussion seems not to have occurred to the
Philadelphia doctors, though they were un-
animously of the opinion that it would not
be wise to 60 into the killing business just
yet--not avowedly at least.

1t now appears that the Parnellites in Pal

on the motion of censure and then broke

The zeal of many Republican newspapers
in various parts of the country in ''boom-
ing" their favorite candidates for the Presi-
dency seems likely to be more mischievous
than advantageous with respect to the har-
mony of the party after the convention and
its success at the polls, At time when
there is an animated contest for the nomin-
alton, and more than enough ardor of devo-
ton to personal preferences, on the part of
local communities and political allies, would
it not be well for Republican newspapers to
refrain from aggravating conditions which
are liable to produce reaction of disap-
pointment and embarrassment?

The man who presented the name of Ben
jsmin F. Butler to the Anti-monopoly con-
vention was the Hon. F. NJ. Fogg, formerly
of Maine. Among other things Fogg said
that "Butler is the only man of whom po-
litical hacks and dead-beats are eternally
afraid" We know of 10 man who is better
qualified to voice the opinion of dead-beaLs
than Mr.. Fogg. But why the dead-beats
should want man for Presidential candi-
date of whom they are 'eternally AFRAID"
passes our comprehension.

The trial of Wheeler who killed Matthews
at Hazlehurs: ended, as every one who was
acquainted with the opinions of the "be>t
people, of Copiah county as developed be-
fore the Senate committee, supposed it
would, in verdict of acquittal. The os-
tensible ground of the verdict was that
Wheeler shot Matthews in self defence.
The real ground of it was that the man he
shot was Republican who had made him
self obnoxious to the Bourbons by his politi-
cal course. In effect the jury declares that
the killing Of a man who undertakes to
thwart the designs of the Democrats of Co.
pish county is justiiable homicide.

The Democrats of the House are appar-
entity on the eve of committing another
blunder, probably the worst one If long
series. The election committee has decided
in favor of unseating Mckinley of Ohio and
Peelle of Indiana, two Republicans, and
seating in their places two Democrats, one
of whom is the son of William H. English
who ran for the vice-presidency on the
ticket with Hancock. 1t is Uaid by
prominent Democrats, among them, Con-
gresham Blackburn, that there is nothing in
the law or the facts pertaining to these cases
to justify the committees report. 1t is SIM
ply stealing purely for the love of stealing,
for the Democrats already have an over
whelming majority.

1t looks as If the Ranney party had got the
better of the Rev. DR.. Newman in the
courts. Judge Sedgewlck has just decided
that Mr.. Newman is only acting pastor of
the church, that he is not member of the
church, nor of the society, and that he has
no right to preside at the church meetings.
The temporary injunction is therefore made
permanent. The only solution, apparently,
of the trouble which is now left is for the
society to divide, and the Newmanites and
the Ranneyites to run separate churches.
Unfortunately for the Newmanites the Ran
neyites are blessed with large preponder-
ance of the cash, and the Rev. DR.. Newman
does not preach without the cash, and good
deal of it, is forthcoming.

was not well founded, and we are Of
opinion that all classes, trades and pro.

another-all supporting and enjoying

siastic to expound the scriptures, and so
with all departments of literature and
science but upon what foundation does
all this grand fabric of human progress
rest? Upon the farmer or planter, the
tillcr of the soil.
An unnatural antagonism seems to ex.
list between some of these classes, and
the coming arts of men who draw their
vital breath from the products of the
laboring man, are the first to turn their
power and wealth against him, and
many of them would grind him to
powder if they could
