To the Editor ofthe Press:
Not the least satisfactory result certainly of
Mondays work was the reelection of Mr..
Reed 1t would have been a severe blow to
the pride Of the sons of Maine who reside in
other States if this able and thoroughly in
corruptible statesman had been rejected be-
cause of little squabble as to whether one
worthy man or another should be postmaster of
a village in the district. For quickness of
perception, courage in action and power as a
debater Mr.. Reed has no superior in the House
His fame reflects honor on his constituents,
and they have honored themselves by return-
ing him to the seat in which he has achieved a
great reputation.

prophecy. The manifestations of this gift a.
shown in Mrs. White differ from those Of
spiritualism and have no connection with mes-
merism. Her teachings tend to purity and
holiness, and there seems to be no trace OF fam
atheism connected with her work. These facts
concerning Mrs. White make her an object of
interest, and the public will no doubt be glad
of an opportunity of hearing her views con-
corning important subjects. RRPoRTKR.

How Standish was Carried for Sawyer
To the Editor Of the Press:
The election passed quietly here on Monday
and it is safe to say that when night came
both parties were surprised. During the last
two elections the mongrel ticket has had a
fair working majority-from 20 to 40 votes
The Republicans expected to carry the town
by small majority as a result of their can
vass. The Democrats made no canvass and
evidently had no idea of the real situation.
The work was quiet on both sides, and de-
termined. Sawyer's lieutenants were on
hand Sunday with circular in contradiction
of Recorder Dyer's report, and they were free
" circulated but it is presumed they did not
have the desired effect. Sawyer was slightly
cut by the Democrats, but received consider
able, support from the Republicans. He re-
ceived q majority of one vote in the following
manner: An aged Republican stepped up to
deposit his ballot and by some reason it fell
back when young Democrat stepped in and
knowing the old mans infirmity, partial loss
OF eyesight, handed him a straight Democratic
ballot, told him it was all right and he deposit
ed it before learning his mistake, thus giving
the ex-sheriH his one majority. OF course
this Is all right 1t being simply dishonest
trick of an honest ~ Democrat, a lover of re-.
form, an honest count, &c. But for this
trick Sawyers own town would have repu-
dated him. We are satisfied with the general
results. Standish has been redeemed and so
long as present methods and ideas of the Dem
ocracy dominate she will stay where she re-
corded herself on Monday last.

The Eauina Paradox,

If q person could believe the marvel.
GUS stories in the Arabian Nights En-
tertainment, how princes and princess
es were by some magical enchantmen
turned into horses and other animals, il
would be easy to understand the intell
gence with which the Educated
Horses are gifted. A believer In these
remarkable tales, could readily com
prehend how Nellie had once been a
princess of noble blood, and trans
formed by some evil genii into horse,
or how Caser had been warrior
bold" and shared the same fate, and
the imagination could run on in this
channel, and trace another life for each
of these wonderful animals, but fortu-
nateIy the light of the nineteenth CEN
tury has dispelled these illusions, and
the performance can now be viewed
as an another illustration Of the power
given to man at the creation over the
inferior animals.
Those who witness Prof. BartholO-
new and his pets on the stage, and fol-
low them through their inimirable per-
formance will see the highest result of
human patience and animal intelli-
gence. That these points are appre-
ciated is shown by the large audiences
that attend each performance. To-mor-
row afternoon every lady will receive a
handsome souvenir.
