MAINE SETTLES IT.

The Republicans Of Maine held their
State convention on Tuesday. They
waited until the other States selected
their delegates o tn National Conven-
ton and exprt ssed their respective
preferences for candidates. From every
State came the demand for Blaine if
the State had not 'favorite son" to
present. and in that event Mr.. Blaine
was the second choice. Ohio wanted
john Sherman, Iowa hankered for Ali
son, New York presents Depew, and
there are two or three other
States with 'sons"; but the
Plumed knight everywhere comes
TO the front as the one man upon
whom the great majority can unite. AT
ter all hav expressed themselves. the
homo friends of Blaine come into the
PROCESSION, and declare that he is their
choice and they VIII have no other if
they can get him.
If anybody knows Blaine's mind and
Intention, it should be the Republicans

of his State, the people with whom he
associates, and who are batter &C
quainted with him than others can be.
If he were not candidate tor
the nomination., if his two
letters declining" to go before the
convention were regarded as meaning
what they said, would the Mains Re-
publicans still cling to him as theil
and the party's standard bearer? To
say that they would is to suggest thai
they are stupid as men and lacking in
cunning as politicians. If they knew
that Blaine was out of the race, they
would agree on some other name
and not place themselves and thu
party lat sea" by standing by him as
the one to be presented to the conven-
ton.
The California delegation which was
with US yesterday, has "favorite SON.
to present. 1t is that sturdy old man
Senator Stanford, who is loved in the
Golden State as no other man is loved !;
not because he is political partisan.
nor on account of any extraordinary
degree of states nanship in a nationl
sense that he has dev Hoped, but be-
eau he is a good man and has
done mora for California than any
other who can be named. He
has made millions in California
and he is spending them there. for the
benefit of the people who love him SC
we'll, and for the.good of the State
which his enterprise has done so much
to make great. The Califcrnians would
be pleased if they could induce the Re
publican party to accept Governor
Stanford as lis leader; but realizing
that their wish is a vain one, the dele
gates, to man, are for Blaine.
They think he is the one
man who promises anything like
an even race with Cleveland
and aside from Stanford they know OF
no one around whon the Pacific Coas
would rally as arc, nd the Plnmed
knight.
We believe that what was said in the
Maine convention on Tuesday will be
everywhere accepted as notice that Mr..
Blaine will accept the nomination and
again serve his party. His so-called
destinations have not been emphatic
enough to convince his supporters in his
own State that he is out of the contest.
and now others who have doubted will
resolve the uncertainty in his favor. 1t
is more likely that he will be nominated
by reclamation than that he will not be
nominated at all.

THE VILESr YET.

One OF the most infamous SANDERS
yet circulated about the President is
that which has just been exploded and
exposed; and strangely enough the
author of the filthy and improbable
story is a minister of the gospel, o
Rev. G. d. Pendleton, of Worcester,
Mass. 1t was preacher, it will be re-
membered, who four years ago fathered
the nasty stories about Mr.. Cleveland.
Then only Cleveland suffered from
the telling OF the dirty fiction
by the minister. This time
the scoundrel preacher has gone
farther into infamy, and with his lies
brought pain to one of the purest and
noblest of American women, the Presi-
ent's revered wife. Briefly the stories
told by the reverend liar. and sent
broadcast through the land in the form
of pamphlets and newspaper publioa-
, tions, were to the effect that the Presi-
dents conduct at home was so outra
geously bad that Mrs. Cleveland was
most unhappy and was about TO leave
her husband; that the Pres:d, nts
brutality had extended to striking
his wife: that her frequent trips
from the White House were to escape
his abuse; that her mother, Mrs. Fol-
som, who knew OF the goings on, went
o Europe to avoid the scandal; that
the President was given to drunken
ness, and that shocking "orgies" were
common in the executive mansion. A
good deal can be excused IS campaign
lies" but when the political jackaIs in
dulge in such vile SANDERS as the fellow
PendIeton delighted in, even bitter
partisans become indignant. The neces.
sites OF a campaign cannot excuse such
an outrage.
A lady at Worcester, where the pious
slanderer's vile story was first pub
lished, sent copy of the printed in
terview" to Mrs. Cleveland, and asked
if the tale were true, and received the
following in reply from the injured LADY
of the White House:
EXECUTIVE MANSION.
WASHINGTON, June 3, 1885,
Mrs. NicoGenlus:
DEAR MADAME csn only say in answer
to your letter that every statement made by
the Rev. q. H Penc Teton in the interview
which you send me is basely false, and
pity the man of his calling who mas been
maze he tool to give circulation to such
I I'D hno
eau wish The women of our country no
better blessing than that their homes and
their lives may be as happy, and thai their
Husbands may be as kim, as attentive, Gun
| siderate end affectonate as mine.
very F frances F. CLEVELAND.
Having been caught in his lie and ex
posed, the preacher expressed himself as
sorry that he had talked, and said that
the reporter had made him say more
than he really did say; also that the
newspaper man had promised to not
publish any part of the conversation.
Pendleton says he will humbly apollo
gize to those he has so basely slandered
and as sort of expiation, he will vete
for Cleveland next fall. The proper
thing for him to do is to resign his
commission to preach, and then 60
and hide himself from the sight of hon
est men and women. AS for voting for
Cleveland, there could be no repsra lion
| in that, as to be supported by such a
deprayed wretch would be reflection
on the President.

A FamIIr,s GhostIy Treasurc,.

Seventeen years ago a son Of j. l.. Scott
died, writes a Kentucky correspondent.
The family then resided near Portsmouth,
but being about TO move away decided to
keep the body, which was cmbalmcd with a
preparation invented by Mr.. Scott. For
somo reason when the new homo was
reached the body was not buried, and when
two years later second child died, 1t was
also cmbalmcd and kept above ground. In
these seventeen years the family have
moved number of times, and always car
rying their dead with them. The bodies
were carefully coffined and sacredly pro-
tected. Fow OF their neighbors knew Of the
ghostly treasures in their house. Recently
tho Scots went to Rome, when month ago
a third child died, and the body was en-
balmcd as usual. Tho SCOTS having ro-
solved 10 permanently reside at Rome, it
was decided to bury tho three corpses,
which was done at Sandy Springs ccme-
terry, an immense crowd being present TO
witness the curious spectacle. Tho bodies
were very much like Egyptian mummies in
appearance. Tho Scots arc not considered
eccentric or peculiar in any way.

The Joke Was Turned.

After the defeat of Burgoyne, a de-
tachment of soldiers, which had been
sent to the American army from Lunen-
burg, Mass, returned bringing with
them three young squaws who were
held as hostages for white people cap
tured by the Indians. A number of
soldiers and young officers were then
waiting in Lunenburg to be sent where
most needed.
One cold, clustering morning several
of these officers were riding through
the town. Seeing the sgaws decked in
Indian finery one of the officers shouted:
Nov for some fun" and dashed to-
wards them.
Won't YOU rideP" he asked. rs he
drew rein.
Yes" answered squaw.
He pointed to block from which she
could mount behind him. His inten-
ton was to prick the horse with his
spur as she leaped and let her fall to
the ground.
But she jumped so quickly that she
was astride the nag before the officer
could spur him. The beast was fright
ened and started off at speed which
the officer could not check.
The squaw wound her arms around
the officers body; her long black har
streamed out behind her; the horse
flew over the road. followed by the
other officers. shouting: An elope-

What Are Shooting Stars.

What do you know as certain facts with
regard to shooting starsi /. They are vastly
more numerous than any one has an idea of
who has not watched them continuously for
many nights. Astronomers who have kept a
record for many years assure us that the
average number seen By one observer at one
place on clear, moonless night is fourteen
per hour. which Is shown by calculation to
be equivalent TO 10000, 900 daily for the
whole earth. p They are not terrestrial phe.
nomena, moving in the lower atmosphere. but
celestial bodies moving in orbits, and with
velocities comparable to those of planets aud
comets. Their velocites are seldom under
ten miles a second or over fifty and average
about thirty, the velocity OF the earth in Its
orbit round the sun being eighteen. 3. They
are Of various compositions comprising both
large majority OF smaller particles which
are set on hre by the resistance OF the earths
atm osphere, and are entirely burned up and
resolved into vapor long before they reach
It's surface, and lew larger ones known as
meteors, which are only partly fused or
glazed by heat and reach the earth IN the
form OF stony masses 4. They are not uni
formlY distributed through space, but collect
In meteoric swarms or streams two at least
OF which revolve around the sun In closed
rings which are intersected b. the carth's
orbit, causing the magnificent displays OF
shooting stars which are seen In August and
November. s. They are connected with
comets 1t having been demonstrated by
Schiapareli that the orbit OF the comet OF
1866 Is identical with the August swarm of
meteors known as the Perseids and connec.
ton between comets aud meteor streams
have been found in at least three other
cases. The fact is generally believed that
the comets are nothing but condensation of
meteorites rendered incandesceRt by the heat
generated by their mutual collision when
brought into close proximity u. Their COM
position, as inferred from the larger meteors
which reach the earth, is indentical, or nearly
So with that OF matter brought up from
great depths by volcanic eruptions. IN each
case they consist OF two classes, one COM
posed mainly of native iron alleged with
nickel, the other of stony matter, consisting
mainly OF compounds Of silicon and magne-
stun. Most meteorites consist of compounds
of the two classes, In which the stony parts
seem to have broken into fragments by vio-
lent collision, and become Embedded In iron

A Universal Postage Sta mp.

At the first blush the idea appeared
excellant; but unfortuna tely the Postal
Union convention itself was the first TO
interpose an insurmountable obstacle
AS alreBdy stated, one of the vital prin-
cples of the original convention is
that each country shall retain the
postage which it collects. If n univer-
sal stamp were used, then. what guar
antee would there be that the country
who sold the stamps and got the profit
had done the work for which it had
been paidP None whatever; and more
over. it was found on closer examin a.
ton that the monetary system in force
in some of the countries of the Postal
Union would not lend themselves to a
universal stamp. Thus, for example,
the % cent-timc stamp which prepays
half ounce Tor fifteen grammes) letter
from France TO Italy to England, is
presented in Germany by 20 pfen-
aug stamp; but 20 pfenning are. in
reality. worth n quarter of a centime
less than % confines; and so with the
ten-Krenzer Austrian stamp. which.
although it does duty in Austria
Hungary for 25 centimcs in preparing
letter. is actually four confines less
in value. The idea, therefore, of the
universal postage stamp. to which the
originator chung fondly to the last had
after all, to be abandoned. At the
various postal congresses, which have
from time To time been held il has al
ways been agreed among several adj
ministrations concerned that three
special exceptions should be made to
the system of accounting for foreign
ma Is at the ordinary fixed rate and by
periodical statistics. These exceptions
are: For the conveyance of British
and other mails across the Isthmus
railway between Panama and Colon
for the transm ssion of foreign mails
across the continent of America by ex-
press service from San Francisco to
New York, AMI from the overland
Indian mail via Brindisi. All these are
paid for by net weight -NdttonaI Re-
