The National Greenback party got about
all the consolation there was for them,
in the election of Walker in this city on
Monday. Reports from other towns and
cities had very depressing effect npon their
spirits. A few hours after the result in this
city was known they were not inclined to
hurrah very loudly. Lewiston, which they
carried last year, repudiated them, and this
notwithstanding the eloquent Mr.. Fogg lives
close by and had assured them that that city
was sure for their candidate. Auburn be-
haved in the same aggravating manner. The
home of Chase's Chronicle went back on its
teachings. In Bath the Greenbackers united
with everything that would unite with them,
but the republican candidate was elected by
handsome majority. Saco largely increased
its Republican majority of last year. Even
Oxford county, which has been one Of the
Greenback strongholds gave unmistakable
signs that their delusions had had their run
and that the people were returning to rea-
son and Republcanism. In Standish, which
was Overwhelmingly Greenback last fall they
we're barely able to elect their ticket. In
Rockland and Ellsworth the hard money Dem
ocrats refused to be dragooned into the sup
port of party whose principles violate all the
best Democratic traditions and repudiated the
Greenback nominees at their caucuses. The
result in both cities was substantial Repub-
lican victory, though there was no election
for Mayor.


In few towns the GreenbackeIs showed
that they still possess some strength, but the
elections in the great majority of them con-
clusively demonstrate that the Greenback
party in Maine Is on the wane. The Nati1n-
ais have thrved because times were hard.
and they were lavish in their promises to
better them If they were given the opportu-
nifty. The course Of the present legislature
has shown them to be lot of impracticable
theorists, with no capacity for business aud
little knowledge of public affairs. The peo-
pie have watched their movements aud arc
coming to the conclusion that they are sham
reformers, full of promises, bat empty of pei
formance. A year more of resumption with
returning confidence and activity in business,
and the Greenback party in Maine will be
largely a remembrance only.

THERE is a demand for the report Of
Senator Morton as of the Committee of Con-
gress to investigate Chinese immigration,
but it cannot be found. A correspondent of
the Indianapolis Journal who heard it read,
gives some of its points from memory. The
most important OF these we're that it was
wrong in principle to legislate against the
Chinese as class; that existing facts neither
justified nor demanded such legislation that
the facts about the condition of the race in


California and Oregon were different from


those generally presented; that the integrity
of the Chinese merchants there was worthy
Of all praise: that the common laborers were
remarkable for sobriety and faithfulness, as
shown by the testimony of railroad con-

proportion to numbers than those of
Americans, and that the evils appreheuded
from immigration were ideal rather than real

A dispute arose as to whether the coins were half or quarter dollars, when one of the party said that could be easily determined, and, bor- rowing silver half dollar from ven- erable friend, dropped it through the grate, in order to determine by com parison what the coins in the cellar were.

An exchange recently published 8 let ter from a lady subscriber in which she complained bitterly of the annoyance she experienced from the habit her female neighbors had of constantly bor- rowing her paper. The exchange failed to advise her on the subject, and as the matter is serious one we have ourselves looked about for some method of relief, and now think we can offer the suffer ing lady and all others similarly situated an adequate means of succor. Here is our plan: Let the lady immediately upon receiving the paper carefully cut from it some item-it makes no particu- lar difference what it is-most any item will do, only let it be neatly and care fully removed from the paper. Then the following proceeding will be sure to ensue: In 8 few moments the neigh bor's boy will come after the paper-he will take it home-within three minutes he will emerge from the house-he will scoot down street and very shortly re- turn with folded newspaper of the same date as the one just borrowed. By the time the clipped paper has circled round among all the female borrowers, the streets will be lively with hurrying boys, and the revenue of the newspaper will be materially increased. Not one woman among them all would be able to sleep wink without knowing just exactly what that cut out item was. The next day the lady will pursue the same course, and similar results will surely follow. In an extremely obsti- nate neighborhood these proceedings have to be repeated three or four days, but no longer. By that time the lady will be able to read her paper in peace, and the newspaper finances will be the gainer through several new sub scribers. This rule is infallible, where the borrowers are female, but it can't be vouched for in the case of men. There is not that inherent curiosity to work upon, you know, and-and-but perhaps we are getting little too deep. Boston Courier.

Of the European nations Germany stands first as to fighting trim. She can put in the field at twenty-four hours mo- tice twelve hundred thousand men of the line, the reserve, and the Landwehr. The grand total of the German army is two million two hundred thousand men, exclusive of two hundred thousand not reckoned on the field strength, but de- ducted as garrisons. The strength of the second Landwehr and the Landsturm is generally exaggerated, but they are thoroughly efficient soldiers, the best in the army. France has nominal strength of three millions and half men, but practically it must be decreased to two millions, and even of this total a very large proportion is still in process of organization. It is not believed that France could place in the first line more than eight hundred thousand men.

Cetewayo behaved like king in his downfall. Lord Clifford, with his white cavalry and natives, got within four miles of the kraal where the Zulu King was at daybteak and there lay in ambush, fearing to advance across the open ground and waiting for the night to make the attack lest the King should see and escape into the bush, which borders the kraal within 100 yards on the north side. Lord Clifford was on the southeast side. In the meantime Major Marter, with the Kings Dragoon Guards, appeared on the northeast and was seen by the King but was not feared, the King thinking the cavalry in the bad ground could not approach quietly without warning. Major Marter, how. ever, had stripped the saddles and left the scabbakds behind. Disappearing from view he stole up noiselessly through the bush. The Native Contingent, whom he had concealed, were put in ad- vance, and tt ey were able to move more rapidly than the horses. These men dashed out of the bush and surrounded the kraal, saying, "The white man is coming; you are caught" Major Mar ter then rode up and dismounted, en- tered the kraal, and coming straight to the hut in which the King was, called on him to come forth and surrender. The King feared and said, "No, you come unto me-" but Marter was inAexi- ble, and the King, creeping out, stood up among the dragoons with stately composure. A dragoon sought to lay his hands upon him, but he waved the man back disdainfully, say ing, "White soldier, let me be-" He then asked to be shot. The Kings bearing on the march between the lines Of the Sixtieth Regiment into his tent in the camp at Ulundi was dignifed and calm. Wear ng red blanket upon his breast in the manner of Roman toga, he stepped

 slowly, looking round with head thrown back and naughty gaze at the soldiers around him. When captured he asked the rank of the officer who had taken him. He treated the Native Contin- gent contemptuously.
