Omaiden fair! the Christmas comes,
And Christmas snow iS liOc!ilng;
Thou hast my heart, sweet one, rr else

And warmer grow, and warmer,

And Christmas snow Is Hooking;
Behold n lover ut thy feet,

Result Of tho Maine Election.
J. II. Manly, chairman of the Republican
itate central committee, the morning
after the election held in Maine sent
the following dispatch to the New York
Tribune: The result of the election is far
arger majority than was anticipated;
he largest indeed given in the state for
the past fifteen years except in the presi-
Dental years. We expected 1000 or 200
plurality. The figures indicates a plurality
for Bodwell of not less than 1900, and not
improbable 1000. We have carried every
congressional district, elected two-thirdS
to ree-fourths of the legislature, thus
recurring us the senate and county officers
probably in fourteen OF the sixteen coun-
ties OF the state. The Republican plurality
in Augusta is the largest ever thrown, be-
ing more than 200 out of IA total vote OF
l,S0O. The total vote OF the state will be
about $4,000, which is extraordinarily
large for an or year. Out of this aggre-
gate the third party vote will not exceed
$500 far less than was expected by the
leaders of the movement.
The Portland Press estimate Of the result:
The Republicans carry the state by over
10000 plurality. The Prohibition vote will
probably not exceed 1000. All four CON
gressmen elected are Republicans Mr..
Reeds plurality will reach 1900. PORT
land, his native city, gives him about 700
plurality, an increase of nearly 400 over
two years ago. The legislature is Repub
ncan in both branches.

TWO EMINENT FRENCHMEN.

A Paris correspondent Of The Neto Orleans
Times Democrat writes The year 1869 should
be marked with black stone by Frenchmen
1t saw the death OF two of their great country
men, Lamartine the sweet poet so soon for
gotten, and Berloz, the French Beethoven,
whose posthumous glori6cation has at last
atoncd In some measure for the cruel neglect
which killed him. The war OF 1870 and the
horrors CT the commune following SO quickly
after drove all thought OF both out Of mems
minds here for a time. Like the death OF
Dumas, their loss was swallowed up In the
tremendous calamitics which robbed France Of
two provinces, drained her Golfers OF five mill
iards, destroyed her proudcst monu-
mcnts and claimed to have crushed
her out OF lhe comfy OF nations. But
with the revival of prosperity France
found leisure TO mourn her illustrious child
