large mill is to be built at Rumford Falls
this summer for the manufacture of fine
writing and book paper. The mill will
be under the management of the Fletcher
Sulphite Company and will be running
by JAN 1, 1896. 1t will employ from 200
to 300 hands and will be one Of the best
in New England. This will nearly or
quite double the population Of Rumford

The American Congress A History of
National Legislation and Political
Events. 1734-1S95. BY Joseph West
Moore. New York Harper & Bros. :;
Portland: Loring, Short s. Harmon. J
The value of this work is enhanced by
the fact that no other student of Ameri-
can history has entered and occupied the
field which Mr.. Moore here makes his
own. In this sense a positive contribu-
tion to our knowledge of the national
government, it will be welcomed by the
general reader as well as by those whose
occupations in life induce them to look
most frequently and with the greatest
concern towards "The American Con-
gress, and who must know what it has
been in the past, as well as what it is
All of the most important occurrences in
national political affairs are described by
Mr.. Moore. The great American states
men, as well as the measures advocated
by them, are portrayed, and the causes
and consequences of federal legislation
are treated in resolutely fair manner
The history begins with the colonial
period-with the Continental Congress
and its prominent men-narrates very
clearly the proceedings in the formation
of the nation and the establishment of
the constitutional government, and then
goes steadily on to tell of the notable
Legislative and political transactions in
the growth and development of the
American Republic up to the present
time, There are many bright sketches
of character, interesting accounts of all
the political parties, and pleasing Incl
dents, anecdotes and personalities; also
Important state papers, famous speeches
and debates. and other matter valuable

So long a time has passed since any
Indians went on the war path that there
was a general impression that Indian
raids were over, and that the most that
the government would have to do with
the red man for the future was to feed
him and try to civilize him. But the
Bannocks and Shoshones of Wyoming are
apparently going to give the regulars
another taste of Indian warfare. There
are less than 1000 of them all told, and
probably it will not take long to subdue
them; but meanwhile some white settlers
are liable to loose their lives and suffer
the destruction of their homes. The presents
difficulty grows out of a party Of Ban
nocks going on a hunt in defiance of the
laws of the State, and getting into a con-
f1ict with the settlers, in which some Of
the Indians were killed. 1t is to revenge
their death that the tribe has now taken
the war path The name of the place
where the difficulty has arisen-Jack-
son S Hole--is rather oninous.

There is something so revolving about
the execution of a woman that one is
never sentenced to death without a
strong movement Immediately springing
up for the commutation of her sentence
The rule holds good in the case of Maria
Barberi, a young Italian girl, who was
sentenced to death i'll New York last
week for murdeing her betrayer To be
sure there were many extenuating cir
cumstances in this case, though the
crime was deliberate and premeditated
but the fact that she is a woman figures
prominently in the movement to secure a
pardon or Communication of her sentence.
The distinction between male and
female murderer is merely sentimental
one, yet is so powerful that whereas male
murderers are frequently executed
female umrderers very rarely end their
days on the gallows or in the electric
chair.

was in a Cincinnati electric car the other
day, and everything was quiet Mr. Foster
drew from his pocket a bunch of keys,
and selecting a small steel one he slipped
1t off from the ring and laid it on the floor
of the car directly over the motor When
the current of eleotricity struck the key, 1t
raised it up until it stood perpendicularly
Then, as the current became stronger and
lighter by turns, the key began to perform
some strange gyrations, bobbing up and
down and jumping around. Every eye in
the car had been upon Mr.. Foster while he
was preparing for his experiment, and the
surprise that was depicted upon the coun-
tenances of that carload of people when the
gyrations commenced was laughable In
the extreme, and Mr.. Foster enjoyed it
more than any one else. Electrical Re

Great things are to be accomplished
after the new New York detective bureau
is reorganized. All criminals are to be
driven out of the city, and none but
good people allowed to remain there
The rejoicing of other cities over the
pufiaeatien of the metropolis may be
toned down somewhat by the reflection
that the expelled criminals may settle
down within their boundaries The
plan of driving out criminals is not one

man most likely to be nominated by the
Democrats next year is Cleveland. He
thinks the third term cry will not hurt

Cleveland by some Of the most promi

the feeling of antipathy to him which
prevails among the rank and file of the
party in the South it would seem as il
Mr. Quay's prediction was a rash one.

Biography of James G.. Blaine By
Gail Hamilton. (Norwich, Conn. The
Henry Bill Publishing Company, 1885,
The selection of Gail Hamilton as the BIZ
ographer of NJ Blaine was an exceeding
ly happy one. No one knew him better
or had better opportunities to observe
him in all the varying phases of his ac-
tive and remarkable life. Furthermore
she was abundantly possessed of the liter
ary skill and Judgment needed to produce
biography that should be interesting
for its manner as we'll as important and
valuable for it's matter. For two years
and half Miss Dodge has given her
whole time to the preparation of this
work. and it is now before the public for
their perusal and enjoyment 1t is a
volume of 722 pages, clearly printed in
large, legible type and containing nu-
merous illustrations. The book traces at
length the ancestry of Mr.. Blaine, who
was of Scotch Irish descent, and treats
quite minutely Mr.. Blaine's childhood
and early life. He was born on the 31st
of January, 1880, and for his grandfathers
on the one side he was named James, and
for his grandfathers on the other side
named Gillespie. AT the age of 16 young
Blaine was graduated from Washington
college, Penn. The next seven years
were spent in the Military Institute of
Kentucky and in the school for the blind
at Philadelphia. In 1854 Mr.. Blain g
bought an interest in the Kennebec Jour-
nal and removed to Maine; and there
after his career was identified with this
State. Subsequently for some time he
was editor of the Portland Advertiser.
He was elected to the legislature in 1858
from Augusta and year later succeeded
Mr.. John L. Stevens as chairman of the
Republican State committee, position
which he held until he became Secretary
of State in Garfeld's Cabinet in 1881. He
was first elected to Congress in 1862, and
of course large part of the book is made
up of the history Of his career in that
body and in the Senate, to which he was
appointed by Gov. Connor. Considerable
space is given to the controversy between
Mr.. Blaine and Mr., Conkling, it's origin
and its results. Mr.. Blaine was in Con-
gress during the whole reconstruction
period, and bore a prominent part in all
the prominent measures of that time. 1t
is impossible within the limits of news
paper review to follow his career through
these stirring times, nor is it necessary.
1t is sketched with master hand in this
volumes, and with an intimate knowl-
edge of the motives of the man which
lights up and makes even more brilliant
career which everybody recognizes as
one of the most remarkable in the history
of the country. Failing health compelled
Miss Dodge to yield to another hand the
preparation of the final chapter of the
book, but the good talk if it is hers char

The History of the United States From
the Compromise of 1850 By James Ford
Rhodes. VOL Ill The third volume of
Mr.. Rhodes's excellent history of the
United States bring the work down to
1862. The first two volumes covered the
period from 1850 to 1860 In a prelimi-
nary chapter Mr.. Rhodes sketches the pro-
gress of the country from 1850 to 1860, re-
viewing the tariff legislation, the re-
markable rise of American shipping,
the panic of 1857 and the recovery
Speaking of the tariff of 1916 Mr.. Rhodes
says: "That this comparatively slight
reduction of the tariff had any consider
able influence on the prosperity of the
country cannot be sustained by the his
torical evidence. There is no reason
whatever for thinking that, had the
tariff Of 1642 remained in force, things
would have fallen out much differently
The other causes adequately explain the
effects. The results ascribed to the tariff
of 1S46-and for that matter to many
other tariff acts-call to mind the i'm
portance that the fly in La Fontaire' s
fable attributed to his efforts in getting
the coach drawn up the hill. " The most
important cause of the panic of 1857 was
not the low tariff, Mr.. Rhodes believes,
but the great expansion of credits
brought on by excessive railroad build

The fact that the ranks Of the worlds
famous musicians are thinning fast is
again recalled by the death Of Rubin
stein. following not far behind the
deaths Of Gounod and Tschaikowski.
During his lifetime Rubinstein enjoyed
distinction in kind not unlike that OF
List. Like LisZt, he was one of the
greatest piano players the world has
ever seen, and after the death Of the
former he was, at least in the popular
opinion. the very greatest. The amaz
ing enthusiasm he created upon his
visit to America many years ago at
tested to this. His later and more per
manent fame will rest upon his work
as q composer, and in that regard he
will stand-for a time, at least-as q
man of eminent talent, if not Of genius,
a Skillful master Of orchestral resources
and writer of music which rarely
fails to charm and is almost never bar
rem Of ideas. Brilliancy is the effect he
gives first and most Of the time. What
he lacked was the strong force. the
vitality and fire, the emotional bent
and the depth which marked the
greater exemplars Of his art Pic
turesque as was the figure he presented
among his contemporaries, there will
be an interesting and pathetic chapter
Of history to write when the story Of
his life is told. The early triumphs,
the later unhappiness and the stormy
course Of life filed with passionate
likes and dislikes mark the career
which seems to be typical Of great
artists, particularly when the artists
ore musicians.
