A correspondent Of the Oxford Democrat
reports that Mormon elder is making con-
yerts in the town of Newry. 1t would be in
teresting to know just how much truth there
is in the report. 1t seems to us that Maine
would be the very last place in the world for
a Mormon to attempt to make converts. We
doubt if there are any people in Newry who
are willing to give up good, honest, old
fashioned Maine farm for home in Utah,
where life under the present circumstances
is more of burden than a pleasure. The
selectmen should ask the Elder to move on.

ever The first time that Noah sent the dove
from the Ark it returned without having
brought back twig and the third time it
returned not again. Mr.. Kelley, in having

third mission can be found for him, perhaps
he will not return any more.

A petition is circulating in Augusta asking
the communication of the sentence of Mrs.
Barrows, now in the penitentiary awaiting
execution for the murder of her husband at
Kittery. The petition recites that woman
has never been hanged in this State and that
it would be barbarous to hang one. If this
is all that can be urged in favor of mitiga-
ton Of her sentence the law should take its
course. The murder of which Mrs. Barrows
was convicted was peculiarly brutal and
cold blooded, and there is not particle of
doubt of her guilt. The legislature made no
distinction between the sexes when it passed
the capital punishment law, and we fail to
see any good reason for the Governor and
Council doing so.

soMETHING TO THINK ARoUT.

The decision just given by the United States Supreme court in the Clawson case is l another blow against Mormonism When a Mormon is convicted of polygamy and sen fenced to prison the trial judge may refuse to release him on bail pending an appeal from the sentence. Once in prison, he can
 be held there until he serves out his term or
 his conviction is set aside by the courts.
 This is a step forward in the fight against
 polygamy, but there will have to be other
 steps, and many of them too, if the people
 of this great, glorious and free country in
 tend to 'keep up'' with the Mormons, who
 are very active in spreading their religion. :"
 Their missions are established in England,
 Scotland, Wales, France, Germany, Italy,
 Scandinavia, Switzerland, Malta, Hin
 doostan, Australia, Siam, Ceylon, China
 Chili, the West Indies, Sandwich Islands
 New Zealand and even in Palestine. Twen-
 ty-seven nationalities were represented in
 one of the recent public celebrations. On a
 single day not long ago sixty-one Mormon
 missionaries sailed for Europe; on ano her
 day thirty more left Salt Lake City in
 Pullman car; three thousand proselytes ar rived within eight months at New York
 The Mormon church has more missionaries to-day than the American board Since the passage of the Edmunds bill more converts have arrived than in any four years previous, and among them the Carolinas, Georgia and Tennessee yielded their quota. The Book of Mormon and other Mormon literature are printed in at least eight languages To in dicate their alertaess in home extension, it may be noted that seventy-nine Mormons were sent in 1881 to spy out the best lands in Arizona for settlement and already some of the choicest portions of Arizona, Wyoming New Mexico, Idaho and Colorado are essen tially under Mormon rule. The Mormon au- enough to know how to pay special attention to distinguished visitors, and they are adroitly pulling commercial and political wires. But their main hold is at home in he secret orders of their church and in the balance of power which their united ballot is l coming to have; in Colorado, for instance here are ? ,O00 Mormon voters, mostly solid l or Mormon interests. The Mormon high | priests outnumber the Congregational minis 1 CTS of the United States, and measured by 1 his standard of priests or ministers only | our denominations in the country outnum- ,er the Mormons.
 This is showing which will, we imagine, 1 urprise some people who have not paid at ention to the dangerous power and attitude | f the Mormon church. It makes it clear hat it is high time to awake to the impor- ance of E'the Mormon problem ,,

 show that, as rule, American asbestos is
 inferior in textile quality, being brittle and
 harsh in fibre, as well as shorter than the
 foreign, and is therefore rot so we'll adapted
 to the manufacture of spun or woven goods;
 it is stated, however, that the quality of the
 American asbestos is improving, new sorts
 being almost constantly found. There ap-
 pears to be but little difference between this
 and the foreign in point of fireproof quail
 ties, though some manufacturers report that
 as 8 general thing, the American article will
 stand higher degree of heat; it is also bet

 paints, for which purpose it is generally
 used, the length of fibre being unessential.
 The Canadian is said to be the best for gene
 ral use. The Italian is the finest for textile purposes, but on account of it's higher price it cannot compete with either the Canadian or the American material, some exception ally fine specimens being of very high cost.

The amount rose to S7,7O9 in 1875, but it first assumed large proportions when Buffers raids upon the governorship began, S25, ,45S being spent in 1878 and $23, ,075 in 1879, which was more than three times the expenditure of the fol lowing presidential year.

A Genuine Maidstone.

Mr.. Len Piles, a citizen of Sulli

Of pores, and almost as light as a
piece of paper. tits genuine mad.

ped ina piece of soft cloth. 1t was
brought to the United States from
Ireland many scores of years ago
by NIPPLES ancestors. Great care
has been taken of it, and it has
been handed down from generation
to generation. 1t is valued at $500.
Over 1000 applications have been
made by it. Two pieces of it were
broken off, and are owned by par
ties in Louisville and Terre Haute.
The record of the stone has been
lost, however. rs it has changed
hands SO many times. The stone
has been in this country sixty years
and has never been known to fail
to cure d mad-dogi bite when prop
erly applied. 1t has been in the
Piles family 200 years. The editor
of d Sullivan paper says that par.
ties who have been bitten by dogs
living $50 miles distant from Sulli.

tlerful stone and cured. The stone
looks the same now as fifty years
ago.
