GRAND ARMY EXCURSION annual ex-
cursion of Bosworth Post No. 2 took place yes
terday. Owing to various circumstances many
of the comrades were prevented from attend
ing, but some fifty or sixty proceeded in the
Charles Houghton to Great Chebeague, where
pleasant time was had. Various games were
INDUCED in by the comrades such as football,
drill by the auger brigade, &C., from all of
which much fun and enjoyment were obtained.
Some excellent target practice was had with the
air gun, in which several of the comrades
greatly distinguished themselves. The whole
affair was very successful one, and the only
thing to be regretted is that more of the COM
rades were not able to be present. Much credit
is due the members of the committee who had
the matter in charge, for their efforts to make
the affair a complete success.

The court and upper circles of Lon
don are inquiring who she is, and for
the following weighty reason. The
London Gazette lately made this an
nouncement Notice Is hereby given
that the presentation of Mrs johnson
at her majesty's drawing room on
Thursday, the 26th of February last,
took place through inadvertenee."


Now, all who enter the drawing room
of the queen to be presented at court
have to pass the Lord Chamberlain,
who is supposed to hold documentary
evidence of character and position of
the applicant for presentation. The
act of presenting past, the individual
so marked by royal favor is gazetted,
and thus glides easily into the gay
world Of London. The Queens draw
ing room is a sort of ante-room to
fashionable society in the metropolis,
and all who pass this ordeal are ad-
mitted without a question. Every
golden doors swings open to the knock
of a lady who has been formally
presented to the Queen, and
the matrimonial prospects of the de-
putante are considered secure. Since
such is the effect of presentation at
court, an ''inadvertent" slipping into
the royal presence is frightful. 1t be-
comes matter of vast Importance who
the Mrs. johnson" is, now sailing
somewhere under false colOrs. The
name is branded, but the name is awful
ly indefinite. There are so many par
ties of the name of johnson who have
given women the right to call them
selves Mrs. johnson that the particular
trespasser upon the domain of polite
society viii be exceedingly hard to cor
ne-. An army of JOhnsOns in London
will pass in review before General Scru-
tiny.


The above notice was dated at the
Lord Chamberlain Office and is Off
cial. 1t is the general impression that
the court cerberus has been asleep or
blinking and winking at some candi-
dates whose pedigree could not be
traced or whose characters were not
above suspicion. And 1t has been hint
ed that France, Germany and America
have been furnishing some of these ex-
ceptions to the rigid rules of the court.
The fashionable inquiry In London now
is: "Who Is Mrs. Johnsons"

1t is a noteworthy fact In the Ohio
elections that the principal result of
the women's movement has been to In
crease the strength of the Democratic
party, which has always, from its ear
hest organization, strongly opposed
legal interference with personal liberty
in the matter of eating and drinking.
The reason for this lies partly in the
fact that the German clement, which
has hitherto, to a great extent, sustain
ed the Republican party, has taken
alarm at the threatened interference
with German customs, and has feared
that the Republican party would be
more likely to disturb them In their
enioyments than the Democrats, and
have therefore abandoned the former
for the latter. Furthermore the native
American, though more under terror of
popular opinion than the German, and
less willing to assert his rights of per-
sonal liberty in the face of the cru
saders, nevertheless is pretty sure to
assert his rights at the ballot, and tO
show by his vote that the liberty of
taking his tod IN peace is as dear TO
him as to the Chattanooga
Times.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 9.-The farmers
have been in session in this city for two
days on business connected with their State
organization. The following call was re-
solved upon to be issued to the people of
the State Of Indiana:


Believing the people honest and capable
of self government; that the old political
organizations are corrupt; that there is no
trust TO be placed in the promise of
either Of the so-called great political
parties; that there are no questions that
ought TO divide the people of Indiana; that
the past dead issues should be buried with
the past, and that we should address our
selves to the living questions of the day,
we therefore invite the farmers and indus
trial classes generally, of Indiana, to meet
with us on Wednesday, June 10, in the
city Of indianapolis, TO devise ways and
means to bring about such reforms as will
emancipate our State from the intolerable
burdens heaped upon us by the misrule of
corrupt party politics. Come, let us take

It is all very we'll to commend
getting up early in the morning.
1t would be difficult to exaggerate
either the pleasures or the advanta~
ges afforded by early rising. But
to rise early one must retire early.
Going to bed late and getting up
early would not be found, we opine,
to agree with most constitutions.


A plenty Of sleep is one of the
first requisites cf health. We be-
lieve that fevers and other diseases
are often occasioned by excessive
fatigue. A person should sleep
enough to get thoroughly rested.


For some cause sleep in the ear~
ly part of the night seems to be
more refreshing than sleep for the
same number of hours towards morn
ing.


Unfortunately, all cur mod .rn
social habits are tending to reverse
the order of nature, turning day in
to night, and night into day. This
is very destructive to the beauty as
the health of our American girls.


1t has been recommended that
when lady is going to attend a
late party-and they are all late
now a>days- she should sleep sew
eral hours the day previous. It is
asserted that the marvellous beauty
of some of the middle aged women
of England has been preserved amid
all the dissipations Of fashionable
secrecy, in this way.

ern Troubles.


In his speech at Indianapolis, on Mon
day. Governor Hendricks said:


my countrymen, we must look
squarely and honestly at this question of
the strife between the two races. During
the war, when the Southern men were
off in the field, there we're no insurrec-
tions. The colored people preserved the
peace at home. After the close of the
war there was harmony between the
races until your unfortunate policy of
reconstruction was started In that you
undertook to base the machinery of So
ciety upon one element, and to exclude
intelligence. You stripped the white
man of political privileges, and clothed
the negro with political power. The
races had been harmonious but at once
and for purpose you placed them in
hostile attitude.


You left many Of the hangers.on of
the army in the South-men who went
not to fight but to plunder. They were
your emissaries; they organized the ne
groes into a political party. In every
neighborhood they formed them into
oath-bound secret societies, called loyal
leagues. They we're sworn to stand to-
gether. In these societies, from which
the Southern white man was excluded,
they we're taught to regard the white men
as their enemies, and that they would
soon receive their property. Thus they
were arrayed in antagonism to the whites.
The work was done thoroughly, and by
it you held political power in many
States. But those States are crushed
and ruined now. We cannot, we must
not, go on in this direction. The well
fare Of our country calls for change
Men must be placed in power who will
relieve society from these dangerous in
fuences; who will stand honestly be-
tween the two races, and see to it that
each is fairly and fully protected in its
rights; who will see that harmony, based
upon justice, is restored, so that labor
shall be secure and capital shall not be
afraid.


The South is now being covered with
troops. If General Grant would investi-
gate for himself | would not fear the
result. In many respects / admire him.
He is a man of great ability, and does
not hate people merely because they op
pose his corrupt party. Two years ago
| said that we were fighting the ring that
controlled him more than the President
himself, and now we have to fear the bad
influences that surround him. He will
not investigate. He will take his infor-
nation from the most malignant man in
the country-the Attorney General.
The men who are maintaining such bale
full authority in the South crawl into the
office of the Attorney General, and
do their work. 1t is dreadful
thing that our army must be
used to perpetuate a rule so hurtful to
the whole country, such as prevails in
South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi and
Louisiana. Whole communities and the
business and production of the country
are being played upon for political re-
suits. The welfare of the country calls
for change. Let the sentiment be felt
everywhere, from the palace of the cap
italist to the cabin of the negro, that
complete and exact justice shall prevail,
and then all will once more bow to pub
lie authority. 1t was so once; it may be
so again. The party in power has failed.
Let US not be led by hate to utter ruin.

Col. DUDLEY, superintendent of Indian affairs, was at the Chiricahua reservation last week for the purpose of holding con sultation with Cachise and of endeavoring to induce him and his tribe to remove to ! the Canada Alamosa in New Mexico. ] We have not received any official infor- nation of the result Of the interview, but it has been rumored that neither Cachise nor any of his Indians would consent to go. We were in hopes that the result would be different and it seems to us now that the government ought to have, in con- sideration offeeding them, a little power in deciding where they shall live. The res servation they have is so located that they cannot be controlled nor made self sus- taining. and joining as it does on Mexican soil, conflicts are constantly liable to arise with the people of that country.

THE blackboard driver brings the news that when he left Apache Pass it was re- ported that Cachise was dying. He has been troubled with dyspepsia ever since he came upon the reserve, and lately he has coughed good deal. He said recent ly that the spirits of white men were vast ing the flesh from his bones, and if there is such a thing as departed spirits coming back it would not be singular that out of the large number who have suffered torture at his hands some of them might on the eve of his departure for the shining shore. We think if we had been one of the seven whom he chained to wagons and burned at Apache Pass, we should try and make it as unpleasant as possible just at this trying period.

 FROM all portions of the Territory we receive the most encouraging reports of the prospect of crops. There has been less planted this year than last, owing to the low-price of grain, but the increased yield will probably bring the production up to that of any previous year. We wish the prospect for prices was as good as the yield, but unfortunately, contracts have been taken so low that it is doubtful If farmers will receive enough to pay them for the first cost of raising the grain. The development of our mines is about the only remedy we see to correct this evil and afford farmers market that con- tractors cannot control.
