BOSTON, March IL.
The Boston people who fattered and fol-
lowed and ieted Matthew Arnold, and thought
his word of criticism was law and authority
are now considering their position as one OF
the "provincias"-f the latest uttersnce OF
their critical guest is this:-that he found Bos-
ton the most artificial and provincial place in
America! This utterance may or may not
have come from the feeling that grew out of
the protests with which his Emerson lecture
was received. 1t looks, in view of all the
points of the case, as il it did grow ont of that
feeling; but there is nevertheless wholesale
truth in the utterance that no candid and wide.
seeing Bostonian can deny. When l. first
heard it 1 alphabetically recalled what
George William Curtis said once in lecture
before Rhode Island audience just after
State election, which it was said was carried
by good deal of wire pulling and bribery.
Referring to this sad rumor of the condition of
things, Mr.. Curtis rounded up one of his fine
sentences by these words:
81 loved Rhode Island and hoped it WASH t
true; but knew Rhode Island and was
afraid 1t was"
So as listened to the report OF Mr.. Matthew
Arnold's final summing up OF the Boston l am
so fond OF, had precisely this feeling:
loved Boston and hoped it wasn't true. but
knew Boston and was afraid it was. A great
many people come to this goodly city, and
after short soiourn, in which they are either
cold-shouldered or overladen with fsttering
attentions, they go away and give preiudicsd
one-sided Judgment. With each party it is all
black or all rose-color. Neither of these opin-
ions is trustworthy. The cold-shouldering ia
often the result of accident, and for that mat
ter so is the fAttery-the accident OF few
happy introductions. But one needs to sum-
mer and winter place as one does person to
find out its strength and its weakness. Mr..

Mayor Cummings of Bangor has apparent
ly undertaken to do at the meeting of the
Bangor and Piscataquis railroad company
what Mayer Deering was suspected of an
intention of doing at the annual meeting Of
the Portland and Ogdensburg company
namely, make up board of directors to
suit himself. Bangor holds majority of the
stock of the Bangor and Piscataqus road
and throwssa controlling vote in the election.
Saturday night the Common Council voted
to Instruct the agent of the city to throw
the city's vote for the present board of di-
rectors. In the Aldermen the vote was a
tie, owing to the absence of a member, and
the mavor had the casting vote. He voted
against the order and killed it. The Wing
says rumor has been current for some
time that scheme was on foot to change
the directory and this action of the mayor
tends strongly to confirm it. The road has
been managed with great skill and success
the past year, and there seems to be no good
reason for making any change. Probably
Mayor Cummings has grudge against
somebody.

Minister Thomas's second report [pub-
lished In the PRESS yesterday to the State
Department, which contains the gratifying
information that within few weeks two
direct lines of steamships will be plying be-
tween this country and Sweden, throws out
some valuable hints to American exporters.
Oh especial interest to the people of Maine
and New England is the suggestion that the
establishment of these lines will open up a
valuable market for canned goods. This
business is already a source of great wealth
TO the State, and distributes annually large
sums of money among our farming popula-
ton. A new and extensive market such as
the Scandinavian peninsular will afford
may be made the means of enlarging this
business to The advantage, not only of the
capitalists who have Their money invested in
1t, but also of the thousands who are inter-
ested in its prosperity, by reason of the
market it affords them for their crops or for
their labor. The export of apples is also
matter in which our fruit rasers are inter-
ested. Mr.. Thomas intimates that the
Swedes take very kindly to American fruits,
and no wonder. He is dong very useful
work In this matter of encouraging an ex-
tension of our commerce and one which will
increase the honor and prestige of the ma
ton abroad.

The story of serious differences between
Gladstone and his ministers seems to be
simply Tory inference from the fact that
Mr.. Gladstone was not present in the House
when the new departure in Egyptian affairs
was announced. The reason Mr.. Glad
stone gave for his absence was bad cold.
There seems to be no good reason for &C.
eeptlng the Tory explanation, that it was
reluctance to outline policy to which he
was opposed, that kept him away, in prefer
ence to Mr.. Gladstone's own explanation.
Probably the story oe speedy dissolution
OF Parliament and an appeal TO the country
has no better foundation than this one about
the differences In the Cabinet.

Col. E. B. Cash, who was arrested the
other day as accessory to the murders COM
mitted by his son at Cheraw, S. O., has been
released on bail. AS he came forth from
the court room his friends warmly congrat-
Mated him, and then escorted him 10 a lead
ing hotel for dinner. After dinner Col.
Cash held reception. His son Boggan, who
is hiding in the Pedee swamp, has written
to the Governor offering to surrender if the
ss ny
allowed to remain in Chesterfield Jail until
his trial. The Governor has, however, re-
fused to treat with him, and is determined
to arrest him at whatever cost. While the
elder Cash is alive, however, no jury will be
likely to risk the old mans anger by convict
ing his son.

money traditions of the Democratic party.

honors came TO him were bestowed on ac-

low citizens of his town, county and State

1t is the opinion of some lawyers that the
act Of the Legislature, known as the phar-
macy act, is unconstitutional for the reason
that 1t restricts the apotbecary business to
certain class, in other words creates mon
opoly. This question will probably be test
ed in the course of the trial of Mr.. Philips's
suits. OF course If the law is declared I'M
constitutional these suits will fail.

Nobody is justified in taking either hope
or alarm from the report that some members
OF the Cabinet and some other people con-
slider the Civil Service law unconstitutional.
They will be in no hurry to test the matter,
and we suspect they will be in no hurry to
publish the grounds of such an opinion.

A MIDNIGHr ROUND UP.
some Rather Peculiar C-p.ures aIade
by The Police.

Officers Nolan and Sullivan went on a
round up yesterday morning at about .
o'clock, and in some old houses nearly in
the rear of the Whitehead block they
arrested three ebony damsels AMI two Of a
lighter color, who, it seems, were not at
least engaged in running a mission school.
A gentleman of color was also taken in,
and the whole six were calaboosed but
afterwards paid up, with the exception of
one of the white folks" who is well
known in Cheyenne, and was married here
not many weeks ago. She was willing to
stay, and after the others had left she
proceeded to sing and dance to her heart
content. Encouraged by their success,
the officers made a raid on a Fifteenth
street establishment before daylight, and
here they captured, not only a couple of
fair damsels, but also a nice young gentle
man, who was not long since a clerk at
one of the leading hotels. There was
considerable weaping, wailing and gnash-
ing of teeth, but it was Of no avail. All
three of this outfit hal to pay up, and
were very thankful for the privilege of
getting out of it as easy as they did.

THE SCHOOL MARMs.
Those Who VIM Teach the Young
Idea Next Season Selected.


On Monday evening the Board of Edu-
cation held a protracted meeting which
lasted until IL o'clock, for the purpose of
taking some action in regard to the selec-
ton of teachers for the next ensuing
school year, which will begin on the first
Monday in September. They were i'm
PEELED to take this early action for the
reason that the teachers that have been
employed during the past year, or some of
them at all events, desired to go East to
spend their vacation, and they wanted to
know before they vent whether they
were to be employed or not.
Some difficulties were encountered by
the Board at their meeting, and they
lacked considerably of having agreed upon
some matters which anne up for their con-
sideration. The main question before them
of course was the question as to who
should be selected as principal of the
school and this consideration Tor a time
delayed action in regard to the subordi.
nate teachers. They were in a certain
sense practically united, but the new
members of the Board, together with one
of the old or holdover members, insisted
that action should be deferred upon that
question for a time at least and saw no
particular reason why the Board should
not proceed to make the other selections
in preference.
There was no selection made of Princ;-
pal for the High School.
The following ladies living in the city
were elected to the position of teachers:
Misses Phelps, Wheeler, Snow, Graham,
Bullock, Forbes, Davis, LehingweH,
Duffey, Huffschmidt and Sharpless.
Those living out of the city who were
elected as teachers of the city schools
were: Miss Mcleod, of Evanston; Miss
Miller, of Hanover, n. H; Miss Frost,
of Galesbury, Ill. Miss Dewey, of Massa-
ehusetts, and Miss Vreeland, of jersey
City, N. j.
Miss Torrell, Miss Ollerenshaw and
Miss johnson, the latter a resident of
Mechanicsville, Ia, were elected as
teachers III the county schools.

A FALSE ALARM.
A Bucking Pony and n Roman Candle
Create n Commotion.

Yesterday afternoon a cowboy named
Bill Smith created not a little amusement
and considerable commotion by riding, or
trying to ride, a bucking pony through
some of the streets in the western portion
of the city. The pony was bound to
throw the rider off and that individual
was equally determined to stay on. In
the meantime the pony had condescended
to make his way for a little distance north
on Themes street, and attracted by the
cutlery that was made and the yelling of
the little boys, a very large crowd had
gathered around, thinking that there was
a fight in progress or would be one soon.
Finally a small boy fred a Roman candle
into the crowd and close to the pony.
This had three effects: 1t started the
pony, partly dispersed the crowd and so
alarmed some of the residents of the
neighborhood that they imagined a shoot
ing affair was in progress. Constable
Nolan soon appeared upon the scene and
set things right, but for a few moments
there was about as much excitement over
the affair as there would have been had
the city been on fire. No arrests were
