commOdatlOn and protection.
My attention has been called to con-
troveysy which has arisen from the con-
dition of the law relating to rsilroad
facilities in the city of Washington
which has involved the commissioners
of the district in much annoyance and
| trouble. I hope the difficulty will be
promptly settled by appropriate legisla-
ton.
The commissioners represent that
enough of the revenues of the district are
now on deposit in the treasury of the
United States to pay the sum advanced
by the government for the improve
ments under the act of June 3Oth, 1884.
They desire now an advance of the share
which ultimately should be borne
by the district of the
cost of the extensive improvements to
the streets of the city. The total ex-
pense of the re- contemplated improve
ments is estimated at 100000, and
they are of the opinionthat q consider
able sum could be saved if they had all
the money in hand so that contracts for
tie whole work could be made at the
same time.
They express COL fidence that if the
advance asked for shonld be made, the
government would be reimbursed by the
same within reasonable time. I have
no doubt that these improvements could
be made cheaper if undertaken together
and prosecuted according to q general
plan. The license law now in force
within the district is deficient and un.
certain in some of its provisions and
ought to be amended. The commission
ers urge the necessity of pro
viding building for the use Of the dis
trict government which shall better
! secure the safety and preservation Of it

created for the purpose of acquiring and
diffusing among the people useful infor-
nation respecting the subjects it has in
charge and aiding in the
cause of intelligent and progressive
agriculture. By the collection of statis-
tics; by testing the value and usefulness
of new seeds and plants; the distribution
of such as are found desirable among the
agriculturists; these, powers and duties
with which this department is invested
are eff the utmost importance; and il
wisely exercised, must be of benefit to
the country.
In the improvement of the condition
of the people in every station, the
amelioration of that of the agriculturisI
surely should not be neglected. The
fundamentally established in aid of the
farmers of the land should not only be
equipped for the accomplishment of 1T
purposes, but those for whose benefit i
has been adopted, should be encouraged
to avail themselves fully of its advant
ages.

The Readjusters and Democrats of Vir-

question. The resolutions of their conven-
lions on the subject are substantially the
same. The voter has got to make his choice

than this therefore. But there are other
matters at issue which furnish ample oppor-
tunity for selection. The Democratic legis-

Chapters on Plant Life. By Sophie Bled-
soc Herrick (New York Harper & Broth
ers; Portland Loring, Short & Harmon.)
There is room for doubt whether the reading
OF this generation as a whole, is superior to
that of an earlier time. But there can be no
doubt of the improved methods now in use
to teach the natural sciences. Here is a lit
tie book, but it treats of great things, the or
lgln and growth of plants, and describes them
in terms which child can understand, but
which will prove instructive to adults. Toad
stools, yeast plants, fungi, lichens, seaweed,
ferns, garden plants, and many others are all
delineated in a manner which cannot fail to
interest and instruct every attentive reader
whether young or old.
Talks Afeld About Plants By L. II. Bal
ley, Jr. Boston: Houghton, Mifiin & Co. !;
Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony This
is work of the same description as the
above, and equally valuable. 1t is clear,
concise and correct account of the leading ex
ternal features of our most common plants
Though the general topics are similar, they
are treated differently, and one will serve to
complement the other. Here the structure of
plants and flowers is infinitely described and
named. Both these books are profusely illus
trated. No prettier OF more useful present to
young persons can be selected.

reputation. This is a posthumous work, ed
tied and completed by two of his friends. 1t

STATE OF MAINE.
BY THE GOVERNOR. a PROCLAMATION.

The National bereavement caused by the death
OF General U. S. Grant, has suitably called forth
universal expression of sorrow throughout the
civilized world. l am aware that the heart of the
people OF this State is in full sympathy with the
general expression of encOmiUm which has been so
richly bestowed on his exalted eharacter-meas-
ured on the battle field for this Union in its Ma
tlonal executive departments and finally exempli-
ned in that last great trial for life which he dis
played glorious spectacle of divine self sacrifice
and composure, the fruit of a God-like manhood
In consideration Of the death of SO llustrious a
patriot and statesman, do recommend that our
pubic buildings OF our State until the day Of the
funeral and that there be a general suspension of
RuDilc and private business during the hours of
the funeral services of our honored ex-president.

While the Conservatives were out of pow
er theylwere held together by common de-
sire to get back. Now that they have got
back the sharp differences of opinion that
have long existed between their leaders are
beginning to make themselves felt. Lord
Churchill has given public expression of his
anger at the refusal of the ministry to adopt
his Irish policy by absenting himself from
the lord mayors banquet to the ministers
and from the great Tory meeting at Liver
pool. Churchill is much more of a Radical
in sentiment than conservative, and doubt
less he would be much more at home in a
ministry containing Sir Charles Dixie and
Joseph Chamberlain than he is in the pres
ent one.
