and forfeiture. But the purchase of bait,
we commended was purely commercial priv
ilege, which Great Britain had guaranteed
us in consideration of similar privileges
granted her vessels in our ports.
The Dominion ministry has probably had
flea put in its ear on this subject by the
home government At any rate it has
changed its policy and henceforth our YES.
sells are to enjoy the privilege of buying bait
and shipping men in Dominion ports. This
change of front will be quite as satisfactory to
the jewellers along the Nova Scotia coast as to
our fishermen. The cutting off of the bait
traffic deprived good many Nova Scotians
of their means of earning a living, and dis
content from this source probably swelled
the vote for secession.
1t seems now as if our fishermen had been
accorded all they have been contending for.
The privilege of fishing within the three
mile limit they have over and over again
said they cared nothing about.
The natural result of the Dominion change
of base would seem to be the release OF
the Adams and the Doughty, which were both
seized for buying bait. The construction
of the treaty under which these vessels were
seized being admitted to be wrong it must fol-
low that the seizures were wrong.

VICE PRESIDENT BRECKENRIDGE.
"reminiscences of Or. Butler Of HALO
well.

A few days ago Rev. DR.. Butler, of Halo
well, Me-, gave to the correspondent of the
Boston Journal some very interesting remi-
niscences of Vice President John Brecken-
ridge DR.. Butler himself lived at Lexing
ton, KY, in the neighborhood of Brecken-
ridges home, till he was twenty years Of
age, and had an intimate personal acquain-
lance with him as well as with Richard M.
johnson, the Burbridges and the Living
stones, with all of home he attended school
during his early years. Among his other
schoolmates was she who afterward became
the wife of Breckenridge. After he left
Lexington and came North DR.. Butler did
not see Breckenridge for a number of years,
in fact, till after he had been elected Vice
President, when their former acquaintance
was renewed. In March, after Hannibal
Hamlin had been elected Vice President,
and had taken his seat, DR.. Butler was in
the Vice Presidents room at the Capitol one
morning, when Mr. Hamlin and Brecken-
ridge came in. After Mr.. Hamlin went out
to call the Senate to order, these two men,
with all the recollections Of their school
days crowding upon them, and .oyershad-
owed by the cloud of civil war, which was to
separate them almost as absolutely as though
they were to become citizens of two differ
emit nations, had a long conversation regard
ing the approaching contest between the
North and South. Breckenridge had al
ready signifed his intention of going with
the South in its contest "Why do you do
this?" asked DR.. Butler, and in reply he
was told by Breckenridge that he went with
the South because his family and all his in
terests were there. He had no spirit in the
course he was to pursue, but entered
upon it as the result of his business
and family connections. Breckenridge
appeared to be in particularly ten
der mood and during the converse
ton he went to drawer in the room
and, taking therefrom casket containing a
silver inkstand, silver penholder, silver call
bell, gold mounted revolver and some other
things, gave them to DR.. Butler with the re-
quest that he keep them out of remembrance
of the past. AT the close of this interview
the two gentlemen parted not to meet till
long after the North and South had placed
their armies in the field, Breckenridge taking
a commission in the Confederate army, and
DIR. Butler becoming identified with the I'M
ion army. When both armies were lowering
about Corinth, DR.. Butler one day went in
to Corinth from Pittsburg Landing and met
Breckenridge, who informed him that, al
though he would be glad to do anything he
could for him, after his business was done he
could not guarantee him safe return through
the lines to the Landing. Breckenridge was
only fair officer, said Dr. Butler, although
he fought well at Chattanooga and else
where. He survived the war, but died soon
after without having accomplished in life
what he would had it not been for the civil
war that took him from public life. Had
he come North and identified himself with
its fortunes" continued the doctor, u be-
lieve he would have become President of the
United States

Mr.. Gladstone opened his campaign in
speech at Edinburgh Friday night Throw
? ing aside all considerations as to methods or
details, he confined himself to a simple
statement of the issue which, he insists, is
before the people of the United Kingdom.
The issue is expressed in the simple ques-
ton: Shall Ireland manage her own affairs,
or shall she be governed by force? Nothing
is said about the bill just defeated, nothing
about the relations which the Imperial and
Irish Parliaments will bear to each other
That this position has been chosen with
great skill there can be no doubt. The foes
whom Mr.. Gladstone fears most are not the
out and out advocates of coercion like Sails
bury and his Tory followers, and Harting-
ton with his few Wing followers, but Cham
berlain and the Radical Liberals. They,
while protesting to favor home rule IN the
abstract, dissent from the plan proposed by
Mr.. Gladstone. The latter. by leaving that
plan entirely out of sight, and insisting
merely on the simple choice between nome
rule and coercion, brushes away the most
effective arguments of Chamberlain, and
leaves him in an untenable position. There
is no doubt. however, that if majority Is
returned for home rule, the plan adopted
will be Mr.. Gladstone's plan in nearly us
original form,

THE FISHING DISPUTE.

Dispatches from Halifax which appear 10
be fully confirmed from Ottawa, indicate tnat
the Dominion government has greatly modl-
fed its construction of the treaty OF 1873, ana
has come round to a view of it almost identl-
cal with that contended for by the onl1eu
States. That strictly construed the treaty
forbade American vessels to enter Dominion
ports except for wood, water, shelter ana re-
pairs there is no doubt. But our government
mas claimed that subsequent arrangements
between the United States and Great Britain
superseded this treaty and gave them the
same rights in the ports of Great Britain ana
her colonies that British vessels enjoyed IN
our ports. Our government admitted that so
huch OF the treaty as excluded our vessels
from hshing within three miles of the Do
mlnlon shores was still in full force, and
tnat IL our vessels were caught trespassing
on that ground they were liable to seizure

THE OLD STORY.
Springfield Union.

Gen. Neal Dow proposes to reward the Re-
publican party in Maine for passing and up
holding the prohibitory law and adopting
the prohibitory constitutional amendment by
formally separating the extreme prohibition
lists from the Republican party. This move
ment encourages the Democrats, and they
are patting Gen. Dow on the head and tell
ing him that he is on the right track at last.
GOOD PLAN.
Halifax Chronicle.
And still they comet Bribe-takers, bribe-
givers, bank defaulters, several other kinds
of trust violators, and those representing al
most every degree in political offence. One
journal thinks that in case of an actual war
growing out of the fisheries dispute, it would
be good plan to arm these rascally nabobs
and place them in the front rank of Canadian
forces. Thus situated they would be likely
to fight desperately. There would be just as
much danger in retreating as in advancing,
and if the first engagement disposed of the
whole lot, whatever destruction the battle
occasioned in other respects must be more
than counterbalanced by the international
blessing secured from this result.

Mr.. Powderly has issued a circular to the
Knights of Labor warning them that con-
spiracy is on foot among capitalists to cap
ture their organization at the fall conven-
ton. A conspiracy cropped out at the re-
cent convention to capture the organization,
but it did not appear to be conspiracy of
capitalists. On the contrary the men con-
cerned in it were the admirers of Martin
Irons and his methods who hate capitalists
A renewal of this conspiracy at the fall meet
ing Mr.. Powderly has much more reason to
fear than any conspiracy of capitalists. The
great majority of capitalists are not inimieal
to the order of the Knights of Labor SO
long as it is conducted on the principles laid
down in its constitution.

Mr. Morrison will make another attempt
to take up the tariff bill tomorrow, but there
is no reason for supposing that it will meet
with any better success than the one of
Thursday last All the influence that could
be brought to bear upon the protection DEM
ocrat was exhausted before the first attempt
was made. The President and the Demo-
cratic Congressional committee did their
best, and they can do no more. Indeed it is
said the President has refused to make any
further effort. Mr.. Morrison as tariff re-
former has proved an ignominious failure

On Tuesday the Argus claimed that the
protective tariff had 'depopulated and inn
poyerished' Maine. On Saturday it had got
round to the admission that Maine had
''grown little in population, and consider
ably in wealth since 1861" But it shouted
with an air of triumph that the protective
tariff didn't make it grow. Well, you said it
had not grown. You said it had been "de
populated and impoverished"

The Senate has voted to submit to the
several States a constitutional amendment
changing the Presidential term to six years
and fixing Inauguration for April 30th The
effect of the latter change would be to extend
the short session Of Congress about month.
With Congress devoted to business the
change would be an advantage, but if future
Houses of Representatives are to resemble
the last two it would only give month more

Murdock's Liquid Food contains 14.1O per cent.

1t contains less organic matter than common

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Eugene Grandet by Honori de Balzac.
(Boston Roberts Brothers; Portland: Lor-
ing, Short & Harmony This volume comes
to us as the fourth in the series of transla-
tions of Balzac's novels, published by this
well known Boston house. His sketches of
character are nowhere more strong and mas
terly than in this book where he depicts the
miser, Grandet in all the responsiveness which
belongs to a narrow, grasping and unscrupu-
lous nature in contrast with his patient,
long suffering, repressed but faithful and
tender wife. Their only child, Eugene, is
the heroine of the story, and her strong, sim
pie and loving nature, which leads her to
sacrifice her future for a brilliant but I'M
worthy cousin, who wins her heart, and then
forgets her in his search for a more ambi-
tious alliance, furnishes theme where Bal
zac's literary skill and keen analysis of mo-
tives are seen at their best We regret that
the name of the translator has not been made
public, for his work is well done and de-
serves special commentator in these days
when so many poor translations of foreign
works are offered to the public.
Aristecracy in England, by Adam Badeau.
(New York Harper g. Brothers; Portland:
Loring, Short & Harmon.) The author of
this pretty and convenient volume of three
hundred pages has attempted to paint in
familiar style the peculiarities of England's
aristocracy, which has always distinguished
her from the continental countries of Eu-
rope, and given her civilization its distinc-
tive features. The book is charming in style
and is based entirely on personal knowledge
and observations during a continuous resi-
dence of twelve years. The writer's temper
is admirable, though he does not conceal his
belief that the British Empire, which is des-
tined to take place by the side of the Ro-
man and the Venetian oligarchy, is, never
theless, a time-worn fabric which must some
day fall. The chapters on the royal house
hold and the familiar personages of Eng
land are especially pleasing, and anyone who
has read the authors paper on Gladstone in
the last North American will be moved to
read this book.
Hours with German Classics by Frederic
Henry Hedge. Boston: Roberts Brothers.
Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony Mr..
Hedges book will meet with cordial recep-
ton from all lovers of German literature, and
take its place among the best critical writings
of the day. These essays are substantially
the same which he delivered at Harvard
University while holding the position of
Professor of German. They comprise stud
les of Klopstock, Leasing, Wieland, Schiller,
Jean Paul Richter and other writers of prose
and verse. His ample learning, exact schol-
arship and broad, catholic culture, enable
him to deal with these authors in a discrim-
mating and approaching way, which cannot
but recommend them to the favorable atten-
ton of American readers.

Convention of Crows,

In the northern part of Scotland and
in the Farce Islands extraordinary meet
ings of crows are occasionally known to
occur They collect in great numbers,
as if they had been all summoned for
the occasion; few of the flock sit with
dropping heads, and others seem as
grave as judges, while others again are
exceedingly active and noisy; in the
course of about an hour they dispense,
and it is not uncommon, after they
have flown away, to find one or two
left dead on the spot. Dr. Edmonston,
in his worF on the Shetland Isles, says
that these meetings illsometimes con-
tinue for day or two before the object,
whatever it may be, is completed.
Crows continue to arrive from all quar-
tiers during the session. AS soon as they
have all arrived very general noise
ensues, and shortly after, the whole
fall upon one or two individuals and
put them to death; when this execution
has been performed they quietly dis
