SETTLED ATLAST.

The fate Of Collectors Pillsbury and Chase
which has been trembling in the balance for
several months past, has finally been settled
by the rejection of BOTH The result is high
ly creditable to our Maine Senators, who
presented the facts Of the count-out so clear
ly and forcibly as to convince not only all the
Republicans, but also several Democrats,
that both the nominations ought to be re-
jected The fight against these men was not
on account of their politics or their parti-
sanship, but simply because of their con-
nection with a conspiracy to overthrow the
rights of the people by trickery and fraud.
1t was based on the solid ground that no
man who knowingly and wilfully aided that
conspiracy was fit to hold public office un-
der republican form of government.
The attitude of both Of the rejected men
since their cases have been pending has been
very different from whatit was at the time Of
and for long while subsequent to, the count
out Then both of them were proud and
boastful of their connection with that con-
spiracy. Neither Of them admitted that
there was anything crooked about it. But
for months past both Of them have been
hedging. Pillsbury suddenly discovered
that he had nothing to do with it, and la
bored to make the Senate believe that the
conviction which prevailed in Maine that he
did was erroneous. Chase took the ground
that all the fine work was done by
his wicked partners. If there was any
crookedness lie knew nothing about it. He
inspected the returns from the first council
lor district only, and that there was no
crookedness about the fluctuations as far as
those returns were concerned. In short he
sought to shield himself by pleading the
baby act.
The defence put in by neither OF them
made any impression. The fact OF their con-
nection with the conspiracy had been too
long undisputed even by themselves to be
overthrown by eleventh hour denials. 1heir
statements and arguments only postponed
the day of their final rejection. Nobody who
has read the report of the legislative COM
nittee that investigated the count-out, and
the evidence presented, can doubt for mo-
ment the righteousness of the Senate's de-
eiSion,

The Blair education bill seems to be in
danger There is growing GOODNESS
towards the measure among Republicans
who supported it two years ago, while the
Democrats for and against remain about the
same. The discussion has now turned on
Senator Allison's amendment which stipu-
lates that in each State where there are sep
arate schools for white and colored children,
the money shall be apportioned in the pro-
portion that the illiteracy of the white and
oolored persons bears to each other as shown
by the census. The North feels certain re-
sponsibility for the race it emancipated and
the moving consideration which has given
its support to the bill has been desire to
advance as far as possible the education OF
the colored people Of the South. In view of
this the Allison amendment would not seem
unreasonable. But notwithstanding this
the most ardent Republican supporters of
the bill oppose the amendment on the
ground that it would introduce race issue
into the educational scheme and thus en-
danger the final passage of the bill. What
the outcome will be is now question of but
short time. 1t is question by no means
one-sided and among the most important be-

The President, in his special message to
the Senate, says he is willing to furnish Off

to suspensions from Office are not official pa
pers. Undoubtedly, a good many of them
are not. Confidential letters, for instance,
sent to the President, the Senate would not
construe as official papers, and Senator
Sherman in his speech on the subject dis
avowed any purpose to call for papers of
that kind. Papers, however. placed upon
the files OF the departments would seem to
be official papers, and those ARE the only
ones the Senate has asked for.

SOUTH AMERICA.
Tremendous Commercial Importance
of the Southern Peninsula.

Demorest's Monthly.
Several of the nations of Europe
keep watchful eyes on South Ameri-
ca. 1t is vast and comparatively
unoccupied portion of the earth's sur
face. Germans, Italians and Portu-
guese, as well as the English, keep up
close relations with it. The trade is
profitable and large, while the num-
Der of immigrants, especially Italians,
is steadily increasing. Some of the
South American States are making
rapid material progress. Chill is a
very wealthy nation. Brazil has a
very promising future, and the Ar
gentine confederation enjoys an i'm
mense commerce. The South Ameri-
can trade in dressed beef promises to
be immense in time. The magnitude
of this peninsula is not realized by
our people. South America is more
than double the size of the United
States. The empire of Brazil seems
on the map quiteaslarge as Australia.
1T is twenty-four times the size of
England. The Argentine Republic
is nearly as large as Europe, taking
Russia out. Bolivia and Venezuela
are each twice the size of England
New Grenada and Peru are each as
large as England and Scotland, Ecua-
dor something less, Paraguay equal
to Great Britain, Uruguay and Chill
about the same, and the little known
regions of Patagonia and Terra del
Fuego at least double the dimensions
of Great Britain.
The United States alone of all the
nations has scarcely any interest in
South America. We purchase of il
coffee, leather and India-rubber, but
our trade in return is a mere nothing.

A Paralyzed Artists Work.

Boston Globe,
Percy w. Hastings attended school
at Ashburnliam six years ago. He
fell from a trapeze, striking upon his
back. 1t was two months before he
could be removed to his fathers house
here. Since the accident on June Sd,
1880, Percy Hastings has had no use
of his body below his neck, as a re-
suit of the fracture of the third or
fourth vertebra.
TO amuse himself, Percy learned to
hold pen in his mouth. He soon
succeeded in writing a good business
hand. Sketching was next in order.
An easel was attached to his reclin-
ing chair, and placed but a few inches
from his face.
In sketching, Percy met with such
signal success that he tried painting
water-colors, and made good pro-
gress. An attendant would prepare
his paints, and place the brush in
Percy's mouth. The principal work
has been the painting of flowers from
nature. The work has been on ex-
hibition many times, and has receiv.
ed much praise. The general size Of
the paintings has been about six by
six, the extent of the area that could
be covered by motion of the head
These paintings have sold readily fol
three to five dollars each.
Many persons are on record as hav.
ing been enabled to produce almost
phenomenal results by the use of the
mouth, but only with the use of other
portions of the body. Lunenburg's
young artist is the first illustration O.
what can be accomplished by the
mouth alone.

BEAUTIFUL LAND OF NOD.

Come, cuddle your head on my shoulder,
dear
Your'head like the golden rod;
And we will go sailing away from here
To the beautiful Land of Nod
Away from life's hurry and furry and worry,
Away from earth's shadows and gloom,
To a world of fair weather we'll float off to-
gether,
Where roses are always in bloom.
Just shut your eyes and fold your hands
Your hands like the leaf of a rose
And we will go sailing to those fair lands
That never an atlas shows.
On the north and west they are founded by
rest,
On the south and east by dreams;
IT'S the country ideal, where nothing is
real,
But everything only seems.
Just drop down the curtain of your dear
Those eyes like bright blue bell
And we will sail out under starlit skies
TO the land where the FAIRIES dwell.
Down the river of sleep our bark shall
sweep,
Till it reaches that mystic isle
Which no man hath seen, but where all have
been,
And there will pause a while.
will Groom you a song as we float along
To that shore that is blessed of God
Then no for that land, we are off for that
fair land
The beautiful Land of Nod.
