That sounds lit lie queer, know, but it is
the truth She had hard time with the
small pox, but she insisted that she was not
sick, and really believe she was not, in the
ordinary meaning of the word. Cholera
troubled her for about half day, but a
strong will, a serene temper, and good men,
tai discipline hI ught her out of that, so she
didn't lose a full day in her record as a
healthy. cheerful woman. Her experience

The New Age speaks in a eulogistic
manner of Gen. Hall. The files OF that
paper will show that in times past the
New Age spoke in the most abusive terms
of the General. The New Age declares
great sympathy for the soldiers, but it is
the organ of party which reviled the
soldiers when they were at the front as
"Lincoln's hirelings," and whose opposi
ton to the prosecution of the war. there
by encouraging the rebels and prolonging
hostilities, caused the destruction of vast
numbers of soldiers lives. The soldiers
of Maine aud their true friends know the
history OF the democratic party in the re-
bellion, and no fawning or flattery of
democratic organs can change their opin-
ion of its baseness. If Col. Edwards
was good soldier he was not in sympa-
thy with the party which recently nomi-
mated him for Governor.

not his only one, was that he was demo-

A Nut for the PrOhibitiOnists to
Crack.

Last winter public sentiment was shocked
at the announcement that bar-room had
been opened and was in full blast at the Capt.
toll at Albany. Swift on the heels of the
news came indignant protests from all parts
of the State. Members of the prohibition
party, the men who helped to place David b
Hill in the executive chair, were especially
strenuous 10 their demand for the closing OF
this particular sampie-room. They contend
ed, and commended justly, that to permit the
sale Of intoxicating liquors in the Capitol res
taurant was an offence against good morals,
fragrant abuse of discretion, very bad ex-
ample.
Well, the legislature in this as in most
other matters of general interest that came
before it last winter. met the best expecta-
tons. 1t put an end to the scandal in an eff
fectual manner by passing law forbidding
the sale or gift of liquors in the Capitol or any
other building owned by the State. Was this
a wise and wholesome measure! Well, Gov
ernor Hill thinks not. II is given out that he
will withhold his signature from it on the
ground that it is too radical in its provisions.
The Sun saws it is So 'clumsy" that mad II
become operative the Governor ''could not
have Offered in the Executive Mansion glass
of wine to Mr.. Rice, bis private secretary, or
have permitted a physician to prescribe any
alcoholic stimuant for an invalid there"
Possibly this excuse will seem satisfactory
in the eyes of the prohibitlonists, possibly
not They may well feel that Mr.. Hill
strained point all out of shape in order to
discover reason for killing the bill. The
Albany Journal reports that after the defeat
of Mr.. Davenport the prohibitionists asserted
that their votes had elected Mr.. Hill, and that
their gubernstorial candidate, MIR. Bascom,
boastingly said "Well, we have elected man
a. Governor of this State who does not drink,
chew or smoke" 1t may occur to brother
Ba.com that now is the time for him to take
the floor.
