Munrmon ana Harmanr.v

The Democrats residing in Fryeburg village
and vicinity held q caucus on Saturday eve
ming to nominate a candidate for postmaster
the defeated candidate for Congress suggest
ing this method. in order that he might be
relieved from disappointing the long list of
candidates, all his personal friends. On the
second ballot r. G. Harmon was nominated
by large vote. Mr.. Harmon is q retired
druggist-not long resident In town-who
seems to have succeeded in securing the per-
sonsl friendship Of his party, judging from
this vote.
As is usual however in csucuses especially
of the Democratic strife somebody was dis
satisfied; one speaker. said to be an eleventh
hour candidate himself, is reported to have
declared that the caucus amounted to nothing
as its decision was not final. This was paYin z
a left-handed compliment to his Congressional
candidate-thereby intimating that he would
go back upon his word and oppose this strong
expression of his own party's preference. This
was more than any Republican would venture
to assert If the Republicans were merely
partsans they would rejoice to see a continue
tion of the wranges and bitterness which
have demoralizsd the Democrats here for the
last six months, but good men, peace men,
law and order men as they all are, out Of the
fullness Of their hearts, they suggest to their
erring brethern as allying cry Harmon and
Harmony"

Faith Cure for Seasicknsss.

A correspondent of the New York Evening
Post tells how to escape seasickness on an
ocean voyage. He says: should be laughed
at if claimed to have found sovereign
remedy for seasckness. do claim, howev-
er, to have found a remedy which so far has
been sovereign in my own case, and my case
heretofore has been desperate; il may be
considered worthy of trial. All that is need
ed is self-control; preserve that for Eve min
utes and you are saved. With the first
approach of the enemy there comes invaria-
bly, bracing up of nerves and muscles
against him. If at that time the patient will
examine himself, he will find that he has
unconsciously stffened and tightened all his
chest and abdominal muscles. Now that is
exactly what he must not do, aud he must
do the exact contrary. When the first symp-
toms are felt, undo everything that confines
the waist; do not lie down, but remain quiz
etly seated, and let your whole frame and
structure respond easily and freely to the
motion of the vessel, even adding swing and
sway by your own effort. The stomach will
soon grow accustomed 10 the novelty of the
thing, and you will soon be knowing to the
full the joy of the perpetual restlessness of
the oceans life. Have faith and you will be
successful There may be moments when
you think the next will be your last, but it
won't; and the victory once won, your tri-
umph will be enduring. The whole process
is the best example of conquering through
yielding that the physical world has so far
shown.

The Portlands met another defeat at the hands of
the Lawrences yesterday, and the game showed the
utter inability of the EiHe to do acceptable fielding.
Up to the seventh inning the visitors failed to hit
Weidel to any great extent, and everything went
smoothly in favor Of the Portlsnds. but then Wei
del Weakened or the Lawrences got on to his pitch
ing, and the game was lost. The Portlands had an
opportunity to do some fielding, and could not i'm
prove it. In other words, long as Weidel played
the game it all right, but when the rest of the
team were given chances they showed their peculiar
ability of losing them. Wheelock had an off day,
and his playing on second base was not up to his
usual standard. Doe, the new man. played fairly
well in the field, but could not do anything at the
bat. He is not different from the others in this
spect, however.

COMMENTS ON THE SITUATION
Whpt ,E,e W.ondou press s,vs

LONDON, June 9.-The Daily Telegraph SAYS
of the defeat of the Cabinet, that it is doubt.
full whether the Conservatives will accept
office.
The News says:
1t is impossible to forecast the consequences of
the vote The ministry will probably resign and the
opposition take poss ession of the government. We
do not suppose that even the Conservative leaders
will seek to undo what has been done the Afghan
question The whole policy of the country is
thrown into momentary-we hope it will not be
lasting-confusion.
The Post says there is no indication as to
what the policy OF the Conservatives will be,
The Times says:
Resignation of the Cabinet in the present condi-
tion of affairs must be hastily decided upon. 1t
is the governments duty to consider whether such
course would not be grave wrong to the country.
The financial modus vivendi might easily be ar
ranged, abandoning the increase in the duties on
peer and spirits without leaving Childers larger
oenclt TO carry forward to the next budget than
would have been the case if the whole of the Ell =
100000 of the vote of credit had been spent, in
stead OF only So 100000.
The Standard says:
We cannot believe that the ministers will leave
once. Ihey have received a mortal stroke. but
they must, whether they like it not agree to lin
ger on until the general election Their very blum
ders render them Indispensable. Everything is un-
nnlshed and hangs on suspense. What cabinet can
succeed? If the Conservatives are to rule they
must nave maj GRITTY, for which they must look to
Lne CONSTITUENCIES. An election now is impossible.
Inc government cannot retrieve their loss, but can
at any rate prove themselves conscious of their
duties to the country by struggling manfully in
their painful position. Party life must remain in
suspense until the election.

DUBLIN, June 9.-The Freeman's Journal
to-day, commenting ON the defeat of the gov

The defeat is due to the action of the Parnellites
IN refusing to uphold cabinet from which Shey
received nothing but broken promises and from
which Ireland could expect nothing but injustice,
as was foreshadowed in the proposed attempt to

night will cause Earl Spencer and his lieutenants
at the Castle to quit Ireland, leaving behind them

SOLDIERS HOME, ToGUss june b, 1850.
was very much surprised to read in your issue
OF today letter under date of DUNE 4th to the
Postmaster General, from one Thomas j. Lynch
secretary of the Democratic KeDnebec County
Committee, informing the public that the Demo-
Gratis of kenneDec county were ''dumbfounded at
the appointment of John Kirk partisan Republi-
can, as postmaster at Togus." Will you please in
form the inmates of this Home what right Mr..
Lynch has to interfere with the appointment of q
postmaster at the Soldiers Home, or what rights
the democratic party of Kennebec county have in
the matter? The post office at Togus is post office
at the Soldiers Home. When the Office sIab-
lished Gen. w. S. Tilton was appointed postmaster
when he left the home Col. A. j. Smith was appoint
ed. Under the administration of both these gentle
men assistant postmaster performed the entire
baugh. the treasurer, inasmuch as an assistant
was performing the entire work, declined to take
the Office and receive pay while another was to do
the service. 1t is understood that Gen. Franklin,
whose Democracy not even Mr.. Lynch can question,
and other managers of the Home, recommended
the appointment of MIR. Kirk; and Mr.. Lynch has
simply written himself down an ass in his letter to
the Postmaster General. By the way Mr.. Editor,
is this the Mr.. Lynch who it is said will be ap-
pointed assistant postmaster OF Augusta if the bos
ton POSTS gallant Col. Q. b. Morton is appointed
postmaster? Perhaps Gen. Villas would like to have
this question answered. This letter of MIR. Lynch
is the first ntmation that politics is to enter into
the management of the Soldiers Homes.
