Cassius M. Clay. who has just declined a
nomination for Congress in the Eighth Ken
lucky district, and who was one of the pail
bearers when the remains of ex-Chief Justice
Chase were transported to Cincinnati. sees a
ray of light in the political condition of the
South. In Kentucky he says the Republic
cans are pushing the Democrats hard and
gaining strength every year, and ''the time
is coming when the pistol will no longer
rule" Though seyenty-nine years old, the
famous Kentuckian believes that he shall
see the day when every man, white or
black, shall have free ballot and the purity
of elections shall be established" 1t seems
strange that man should have to wish for
these things in country like this.

The opinions that some men give under
oath are often quite startling. An instance
happened during the September term of
court in Rockland. The case on trial was
for the recovery of damages done by dogs to
flock of sheep. In the course of the trial
several witnesses swore positively that a
sheep bitten by dog, even if not killed, is
of value. This while very sweeping asser-
ton, is not so wholly improbable as the as
tonishing assertion of another witness that
where dog bites sheep it is safe to eat the
sheep if both the sheep and dog are killed,
but that the mutton must be eaten on no con-
ditions if the dog is allowed to live. 1t is to
be noticed to the credit of this philosopher,
howe. venu that he included ir-his tastin,ar,s-
no reference to the signs of the zodiac or the
letter as having baleful influence ON
mutton.

Woman's Bank, have been exposed repeated
ly by the newspapers, and who has served
three years in the Massachusetts, House OF

She has well furnished rooms and pretends

are entrusting their money to her care; it is
said that there are several such in Portland.

the bold declaration of the Hungarian prime

its inYigorating influence they plucked up
courage and voted according to their own

interesting question now is, what will Russia

The difficulty which arose in connection
with the revision of the constitution of the
Knights of Labor at Richmond was over
come, it appears, by ruling of Mr.. Pow
derby and the assembly is now at work revis-
ing. The changes relatefo the most part to
rules for the government of the order. Ex-
perience has certainly demonstrated that i'm
provement in this direction is needed, unless
each assembly is to be law unto itself. The
convention has had the good senseto re-elect
Mr.. Powderly by reclamation. There was
time when it looked as if he would not go
in except after a protracted contest, but the
total observation of Martin Irons and with
him of the crowd who believed that our
whole industrial system could be recon
stis.sted in week or two by a general strike
all over the Country, left Mr.. Powderly and the
rational wing OF the order without any seri-
Gus opposition. Whetner the Irons crowd
are finally suppressed or only temporarily
subdued remains to be seen.

illness of the place has led them to give it
more than usual attention, and the commu-

have been frequent of late Among these is
one from Rev. Fl. FL. Clark. of the Navy,

obstinacy or eccentricity; man whose tongue is

By others, the situation is represented as
more urgent, even so urgent as to require
the labors of man who will initiate the
holiness of Jonah.in the streets of Nineyeh.
But aside from disagreements as to methods,
the Methodists are at one on the essential
point-that the man who is there ought to be
one who will do his part towards keeping Bar
Harbor from ways that have brought re-
proach upon so many other watering places.
