IN PUBLIC OFFICE.
Many New England Manufacturers
Have Done Well.

FROM flDer ana FaDflc
The nomination Of Aram J. Pothier for
Governor OF Rhode Island, following that
of Eben S. Draper for Governor of Mas
sachusetts, by the republican party.
brings to mind the large number Of prom
inent textile men who have in recent
years been nominated or chosen by the
people to hold public Office.
If We were to publish a list OF their
names the number would doubtless be
surprising to many. They would include
some Of the ablest governors and con-
gressmen whom the New England states
have ever produced-men who have been
potent factors in shaping public opinion
and in legislating for the countrys well
fare; men of sound thought and original
ideas. who have taken the initiative In
many important undertakings. If one
We're to look over the list Of governors
of New England states for the past thir-
ty-five years he would find that many of
the ablest of these chief executives were
engaged in textile manufacturing. In

his troops to the scene OF war, down to
the 14th day Of this month. when Mr..
Pothier. the successful Woonsocket man.

Of that state. 1t is only necessary to men,

Clever Crabs.
m the London Illustrated News.

From the London Illustrated News.
The tree crab Of the South Sea Islands
is akin to the hermit crab. but it is larger
and it has its hind quarters sheathed in
shell. It is also known as the palm
crab, because it climbs the cocoanut palm
and picks the fruit. which it nips off
close to the stem. 1t always takes care
to choose a palm tree with plenty of
stones at the eOot. so that the cocoanut
may be broken by the fall. When the
natives see that a crab is in a tree they
tie a ruff of grass around the trunk When
the crab comes down again he is upset by
the grass, and falls heavily to the ground,
where he lies stunned. He is then killed
with stone ak, his nippers are tied to-
gether and he is slung upon a spear to
be carried to camp The South Sea
Islanders roast the palm crab between
two hot stones and consider the flesh u
great delicacy.

thinking that would be the court end of
the town: Gen. Van Ness bought south
of the avenue. and Gen. Lingan bought
west of 18th street and north of the ave-
nue. The latter presented every other
lot to the government on condition of
improvement, and the city owes him a
heavy debt of gratitude. for when the
public buildings had to be stopped for
lack of money and the general credit of
the government was SO low that even
devoted Maryland required a guaranty

Not in the least said Mr.. Webster;

Il do not know, but I think there is not
another federalist in the country who
would say as much.
Mumma's Confession.
He added he was glad to free his mind
from the Baltimore riots. He and others
had no ill-will toward Gen. Lingan, Gen.
Lee and the rest; they had been misled.
They had been told-out there in the coun-
try-that the republic was to be betrayed
to the enemy by traitors. and that
nest of them had a press in Baltimore
and were every week publishing their
treason to the world
When they reached the journeys end
Mufnma would take no pay tor his Serv-
ices said he was glad of the chance to
explain the part he took to one or the
injured parties and rode off into the night.
