 J. Clark lost horse recently, by it's stumbling over a cobble stone in the highway and breaking its leg. Are our road surveyors sharp enough in re- quiring road repairers to throw out the loose stones? To tumble into the road scrapers full of stone and dirt is but the rough beginning. Anyone with sufficient strength can do that. But to level down the earth smoothly and evenly, throwing out all the stone, is trade we judge from the usual state of the roads is not learn ed yet to perfection. Many a rough road by having the loose stone thrown out, would be in fair. condition for travel. A question of law might be raised; is a town liable for damage under the above circumstances, where horse is not an inveterate stambler?

 We have no great faith in labor bu- reaus, but they are not extremely expen- sive experiments and may collect facts of some value.

Dr.. Wild on Ref0rm-Com mmunists-Plea m


for the LaborinS Man.


Yesterday morning DR.. Wild, Of Brooklyn,
preached from Ezekiel xxxiv., 19-"And as for
my nock, they eat that which ye have trodden with
your feet and they drink that which ye have fouled
with your feet"


He thought Christianity acknowledged the
brotherhood Of man, and its claims were tor time
and eternity. Individual duties and affections
were splritualized and people made better by serv
ing others. 1t reacted upon the benelactors This
view Of human conduct demanded great care in
the duties OF men, Those especially who had
wealth not to waste the residue OF their pos
sessions that those less favored could not use
IL There was too great an indifference
in society upon this subject. How many there
were in this city who, like the prophets decara-
tion, would eat and drink and leave but the REM
nants for the poor! Charity was cultivator of
fine sentiment and those who were surro unded
by plenty were exhorted to remember those who
had none. No man could get SO near God as
father, unless it was an agricuturist, who delved
in His soil. AS a general thing they were never
infdels America, England and France could pro-
duce more infdes than any other people in the
world, because they dealt SO largely in trade till
they got SO they believed all men liars. DR.. Wild
said his opinion had lately been asked upon the
subject OF labor and equality and he did not hesl-
tate to give 1t. 1t was well known that people In the
reform movement did not recognize Communists.
For his part he thought the Church and the nation
were too far apart to influence that subject power

Politicians OF to-day did not know half
as much as the Bible set forth. The Jews had .
better sanitary society than anything to-day. They
had 1t engrated in their youth that 1t was natu-

the garments altogether tighter about the
waist than they should be worn, aud to
bind them around a single narrow zone

James A. Garfield, who represented in
Congress the nineteenth Ohio district is a
man of discrimination and fearlessness,
even if he did take a portion of the stock
that was placed where it would do the
most good. Garfield was chairman of the
appropriation committee, and that fact,
together with his vote in favor of the sal
ary steal, identified him with the plunder-
ing measure fully and irrevocably. Read
ers of Congressional debates will also
recognize in him one of the most ultra of
home to meet storm OF Indignation from
his constituents. He caught it every
where, on the streets, on the cars, in pub
lie meetings, and in the newspapers. His
serenity and peace of mind were greatly
disturbed by these occurrence. Life lost
its bright hues, and he failed to enjoy his
dinner. James had his private opinion
that all the blame did not fairly rest upon
his shoulders, and he determined to give
voice to his grievances. So when, at the
republican convention of Warren county,
the fact was again rubbed under his nose
that he was salary steal man, and ought
to resign, Garfield arose and freed his
mind. He reviewed the whole business.
from incipiency to fruition, confessed his
part in it, and concluded with this stag
gering blow at his critics


If the delegates believe the retroactive salary
| clause is so infamous that ought to resign for
voting for the appropriation bill to which it was
attached, ooM they to1oae ont their loqtc and

not have been placed in the appropriation

greater than that of the Senator or Repre-
sentative who receives the back pay; for

The return of a portion of the crew of
the artic discovery ship Polaris, with the
sad news Of the death of the Jealous and
adventul Gus commander. adds one more
to the long list OF those who have gone
into that region of eternal ice, never to
return. This expedition was fitted out
with care, and at great expense. Nothing
that experience or foresight coHld suggest
towards overcoming the known difficult
ties of the voyage We're omitted. The
government cheertully lent vessel, and
equipped it at a government yard Capt
Hall had peculiar fitness for the place, and
was perhaps more thoroughly pervaded
by enthusiasm in the cause than any one
that ever set his face resolutely toward the
north pole. AS an assistant and officer
went William Morton, y member of the
Kane expedition of 1853, and one of the
only two white men who ever looked up
on the great polar sea, and heard the bill
lows of that boundless and mysterious
ocean break upon ltslcy shores


Though in some measure a failure it
can yet be claimed for the Polaris that she
sailed to a higher degree of latitude than
any vessel ever before reached. And thus
terminates the last of the voyages towards
the north pole, which began with John
and Sebastian Cabot, nearly 400 years
ago. They have demonstrated that those
forbidding regions afford nothing worth
the great effort and suffering required to
reach them, and the conclusion should be
that they had best be left to the walrus
and seal, and to the adventurous men who

A friend of Mrs. Call, the plaintiff in
the late divorce suit at Wscasset, thinks
that injustice was done to the lady in the
report of the case which we last week
published, and appears in her defence in
a communication. In accordance with our
unvarying rule in such cases, we give
him space in our columns Certainly our
own desire was to publish an impartial
sketch, emhodying the interesting points
of the trial, and we cannot think that our
correspondent had any different motive.
A careful reading of each statement viii
show, we think, that very little in the
nature of an issue can now be made up
between the parties or their friends. Some
feeling naturally exists as to which party
can claim the victory-but that is of small
account. since the result attained was de-
sired by both parties. 1t may be claimed
that the alimony decreed to plaintiff is a
decision by the court that she is the in
.jured party; but it will be remembered
that, long before proceedings were COM
menced, DR.. Call voluntarily rendered her
separate support. We confess to a
belief that in the great majority of divorce
cases, the wife is the aggrieved party, and
that the instances are comparatively few
in which a woman desires legal separa-
ton except for good and sufficient cause.
But, whichever may be in fault, thew are
always unhappy cases to the parties them
selves, and frequently perplexing to the
newspaper editor, who in striving to give
a fair report. is extremely liable to touch
sore spot on one side or the other.


S. M. PETTENGILL & Co. We agree
entirely with the letter and spirit of the
generous endorsement which the Boston
Journal of the 9th gives to this we'll
known and highly respected firm. Estab-
lished in the advertising agency business
since 1849 in Boston. and since 1852 in
New York, they have conducted large
business in the most upright and honor
able manner, giving, as we have the best
reason to know, entire satisfaction alike
to advertisers and publishers. Having
dealt with them for nearly the whole of
that period, we feel authorized to make
our endorsement full and unreserved.
Men who have business to bring before
the public, can trust to their tried sagacity
in selecting advertising mediums, and
know that their facilities for executing
contracts are excelled by those Of none
others in that line. We are glad to
know that they are to establish branch
house in Philadelphia.

LIFE AND MArrER.--Nothingr remains
at rest. If 4 single particle in a living
body were quiescent a etain of disaster
Gus consequences would quickly follow,
terminating in death. Such is the fact
respecting the necrosis Of any part Of
au injured bone. When the circulation
and deposition of new ossiRc materials


interrupted st any particular point
OF region, mortificat'on, gangrene and
throwing or of the dead portion i'm
mediately commences. We are per-
petually supplying the system with new
life material. That is accomplished by
food in the stomach. It is there put in
a condition to be waited all through
the body. On its route a particle is
dropped here and there, and at the
same instant an old one is removed.
As soon as the vitality of the new piece
has been impaired, it becomes from
that instant useless. Thus we are per
petually being renewed, and by eating
and drinking the supply is eqnal to the
demand. Thus may be explained a law
of the animal economy, how it is that
we have neither the same bones nor the
same flesh to-day that we had years ago.
Although identieally the same indivi,l-
uals, our bodies have been renewed re-
peatedly in the course Of an ordinary
lifetime. Whenever that process OF as
similation is interrupted-in other
words, when neither new matter is sup
piled ne- can the old be removed, as
when in heaItli-death is inevitable.
Therefore, it is self-evilent that every
particle Of nutriment is changed with q
definite amount of vitality. An aggre-
CATION of these elements eventuates IN
lige-force. Variously arranged, they
result in particular organic forms. and
who can say that this may not have an
important bearing on the gralation vi
intelligence from one type to another 10
the ascending scale of animal forms
from creeping things to man?
