ST. NICHOLAS. SCRIBNER’S ILLUSTRATED IQAGA
ZINE FOR
GIRLS AND BOYS.
FEBRUARY NUMBER NOW READY.
The London Academy, of December 22d, 1877, says: “In St. Nicholas we welcome the best stamp of juvenile literature that we have yet seen. * * * We have no hesitation in saying that both in the letter-press and in the pictures this American magazine has no rival.”
In St. Nicholas for December, the Grand Christmas Number, was begun a ch&rming new SERIAL STORY BY MISS AL- LOT'!', “Under the Lilacs,” illustrated by Mary Hallock Foote, to continue during the year. This s«me Christmas number, of which one hundred thousand copies were
printed, contained the opening chapters of
A “ROBINSON CRUSOE” STORY
for boys. “Tower Mountain,” by Gustavos Frankenstein, also poems by Longfellow and Bryant, a portrait of Miss Alcott, half a dozen short stories, pictures, poems, etc., etc. It is the handsomest number of a child’s magazine ever issued.
Tbc NEW YORK TRIBUNE says: “St. Nicholas lias a list of contributors
such as no other child’s magazine, or few publications of any sort, in the world, can boast. It has caused the best writers in America to turn their attention to the task of giving delight and imparting culture to children. In the avalanche of immoral lit- erature that threatens the children, some strong, vitally wholesome, and really attrac- tive magazine is required for them, and St. Nicholas has reached a higher platform, and commands for this service wider resources in art and letters, than any of its predeces- sors or contemporaries.”
ST. NICHOLAS FOR 1878.
Besides the Serial Stories above an- nounced, will have a short serial story by the author of •' THE SCHONBERG- COTTA FAMILY’’; and Three Splen- did Serials for Boys, one ot which, “ Dri ted into Port,” by Edwin Dod- der, an English writer, will begin in March. " Around the World iu a Yacbt, Boys 1” has been promised by a brilliant writer, now on the actual tour of the world in his own yacht. There will be contribu- tions by a daughter of the famous Peter Parley, and a Letter to Young Americans by
GEORGE MACDONALD.
The “HOW” Series of instructive papers, by various authors, will tell HOW to bind your owu books; HOW they mine coal; HOW to enjoy yourselves at borne; HOW to be an agreeable guest; HOW to entertaiu company; HOW to be a carpenter; HOW to make an ice-boat; HOW to build a house; HOW India-rubber is gathered; HOW match- es are made; HOW TO BE A PAR- LOR MAGICIAN; HOW money is made; HOW mackerel are caught; HOW they laid the Atlantic cable; HOW they mine in California; HOW they work in the tea- country, etc. There will be also a series of stories and sketches of Foreign Life.
TRAVEL AND ADVENTURE,
such as “Old Nicolai” (a Russian Story), “A Day among the Welsh Castles,” “Easter in Germany,” “The Indians of the Amazon,’, “How Kitty was Lost in a Turkish Bazaar,” “Master Montezuma” (a Mexican story), “Hansa, the Lapp Maiden,” and many oth- ers.
“Jack-in-the-Pulpit,” “Young Contribu- tors’ Departmeut”, “Letter Box,” “Riddle Box,” and “For Very Little Folks,” will he continued.

frontispiece; a Portrait of Abraham Lincoln, from the last Photograph, drawn by Wyatt Eaton, and engraved by Cole; and opposite the portrait, a sonnet on Lincoln, by Bicn- ard Henry Stoddard, printed io quaint Old Eoglish type, from matrices three hundred years old.
Odo of the most noteworthy features of the Midwinter Scribner is a series entitled, “Per- sonal Reminiscences of Lincoln,” by Noah Brooks, with a fac-simile of one of the Presi- dent's stories in his own hand-writing. These papers have been specifically copyrighted, so that they can be had only in the magazine.
Another Novelty—Tlie "Scribner Extra,” For the convenience of purchasers of the
“Midwinter Scribner,” we have reprinted the earlier chapters of “Roxy,” Dr. Eggles-. ton’s Novel, from the November. 1877, Decem- ber, 1877, and January, 1878 numbers of Scrib- ner, together with Mr. Frank R.

Bex Butlek has again demonstrated that the devil can quote Scripture for his purpose.
Yiboixia thinks of sending Joe Johnston to Congress from the Richmond district.
The Secretary of War wishes to hasten the publication of the records of the war. He will find it difficult to get an appropriation from this Honse.
The Honse “went into roars of laughter” at Ben Butler’s biblical joke. There never was a joke too stupid to excite the mirth of
Congress._ The jury in the Returning Board cases has
ipparently been organized to convict. There is not a Republican in the whole panel of forty-six names from which it is drawn. Its verdict is a foregone conclusion.
The report comes from Washington that the silver men have raised a corruption fund. Smail and weak newspapeis in the East are
subsidized to declare for the remonetization of silver. This lets in a flood of light on
some things.
Ix the House 77 Republicans and 112 Dem- ocrats voted for the Matthews resolution, and 56 Republicans and 23 Democrats against it. In the Senate 19 Republicans and 24 Demo- crats voted for it and 15 Republicans and 7 Democrats against it.
To Senator Hoar’s mind the Republican party is pledged to these four things: “The vinaicauon ior an citizens oi me country oi
their equal rights; the preservation of the public faith; the return to the use of honest money of steady value; and purity of admin- istration.” That exactly fills the bill.
Among the papers of Thiers has been foand a history of the financial negotiations with Germany which resulted in the pay ment of §1,000,000,000 in hard cash1 by France to that power. It will be published. Perhaps those of our financiers who doubt our ability to accumulate sufficient gold with which to resame may learn something from it.
Unless France is careful what she does the silver men will cease to use her as an
illustration in support of their folly. Her Senate has unanimously approved the bill renewing the temporary suspension of the obligation of the French mint to coin any silver taken thither. The American situa- tion is one of the causes that lead to the re-
newal. Fi ance does not care to be flooded with cheap silver.
They have gone and named the satellites of Mars. Professor Newcomb of the Naval Observatory did it with his little Homer. The names are Deimos and Phobus, and are
found in the fifteenth book of the Iliad, where Mars is preparing to descend to the earth to take part in the conflict before the walls of Troy. Bryant renders the lines thus: “He spake and summoned Fear and Flight To yoke his steeds and pat his glorious armor on.”
The following prophecy, purporting to have been made in 1453, is again appearing in the papers. It had an extensive circula- tion during the Crimean war, and doesn’t seem to be a cock-and-bull prophecy after ail:
In twice two hundred years the Bear The Crescent shall assail;
But if the Cock and Bull shall pair The Bear shall not prevail.
But look, In twice ten years again, Let Islam know and fear—
me Gross snail wax, tne crescent wane, Grow pale, and disappear.
The Argus aided by the unreformed civil service, or rather the unreformed civil service through the medium of the Argus, takes up again the use of the word “coin” in the Maine Republican resolutions. To start with the Argus misrepresents. The Pres3 never called Secretary Sherman an Ohio trickster or a slippery demagogue, nor did it use words that could bear that construction. It criticized his ambigueous use of the word “coin” in his Mansfield speech (Marshfield the Argus calls it—evidently the U. C. S. did not see the proof) because the whole con-
troversy at the West i3 over the meaning of that word. In reply to the Argus criticism the Pee33 said that the Republicans of Maine understood “coin” to mean gold, so that there was no ambiguity in their use of the term. It says so now. The Re- publicans of Maine, whatever Mr. Blaine’s position may be, hold that “coin,” as used in the public acts, was meant to mean and does mean gold. They hold that our bonds are payable in and our greenbacks redeema- ble in gold, and gold alone.
Seitator Dawes of Massachusetts made an excellent speech against the silver bill Tuesday. His close was very fine. He said:
The laws of currency and political economy, on which this bill and kindred measures are making war, are older than this debate and the popular excitement which it feeds and is in turn fed by it, and will control busiuess ami trade loug after both shall have passed away and been forgotten. They are not heeded now, but the time is sure to come when they will as- sert their dominion and exact the penalty in- separable from their infraction. Ears now deaf to the voice of all history-will then be unsealed. Eyes that will cot now see the unmistakable sigBS of the coming of that day will then be opened. It must needs be that the heresies and delusions of the hour must come, but woe «u*v vuuui uj n uuui iiucj vuuir, TUI J c H.J7 thus far taken la the great financial straggle of this nation with itself to recover the ground lost by its first departure from those laws has its counterpart written in English history be- fore resumption in 1821, and in that deplorable record of the rise and fall and ruin of the French assignats. Statesmen were theu as now fright- ened off their feet by the hoarse cry of more, more, more, which gamblers in the rise and fall of values had lifted np demagogues to utter in the ear of distressed and hungry creduli- ty. There was the speculator in green- backs then; the Wall street stock-iobber was born ot the French dealer in assignats, and the English inflationist of 1818,1819,1820, has his descendants on this side of the water makiog corners in currency and coin. It is their craft that is in danger of destruction by resumption. And the din and uproar heard above the voice of reason, the teachings of history and the warnings of experience are not the complaint of sober, earnest business, intelligent, enter- prising industry, nor of honorable, thrifty labor, but that of those alone who profit for the moment by playing with leaded dice the game of tossing values. But be assured, sir, the day of these men is short. The end will snrely come. The chapter in their lives and their work yet to be written here is already recorded in the tuin their piototypes in France and Eng- land brought upon their deluded followers. If we will not heed the warnings of history we will surely he taught the lessons of experience. The laws which govern corrency and trade, old as civilization and commerce among nations and individuals, cannot t o set at naught with impunity. Over the popular delusion and political frenzy of the hour there reigns an in- exorable higher law, waiting on the footsteps of all law-breakers: “The way of the trans- gressor is hard.”
Current Comment. Was the cry of a “subsidized press” started

Secretary Schurz is indeed a model reform- er. Having condemned and turned out the superintendent of the Freedmen’s hospital, he afterwards condescended to make an ex- amination of the institution.

Senator Barnum of Connecticut thinks that if he had been in President Hayes’s place he wrnld have supported Gov. Packard in Louisiana, “if it took every man, woman and child in my party.” The Senator says there is no room in the Democratic party for the President, but that the Democrats “will support him when he does right.”
Hr. Glover of Hissourl Is an nncommonly noisy investigator, even lor a Democrat. He spends most of his time in thrilling announce- ments of an intention to shoot, and in loud warnings to everybody to stand from under. He demands power enough to imprison and fine the whole American public if it decliues to help him push on his mud machine. He positively pines for some one to “obstruct” him, but is himself his only obstacle.
Another instance of Democratic reform is furnished by the House Committee on Elec- tions. They have decided to give the con-
tested seat from California to the Democratic candidate. To do this they must overlook the certificate of the Democratic Secretary of State of California to the Republican candi- date and the decision of the Supreme Court of California, with a Democratic Chief-Jus- tice and a majority of Democratic justices, aiso in lavor ot me itepuoncau candidate. This is on a par with the Colorado case. Perhaps it is a good way to secure party su- premacy, but it looks as if there might be a risk in it.
Mr. Hendricks has been enoouraged by the silver vote in the Senate to descend from the fence and side with the repndiators. He talks with the fluency of Yoorhees about “remonetization by stealth,” about oppress- sion of the masses through forced resump- tion, and runs the whole gamut of silver twaddle like an old hand at the business. This accession is not hailed with exuberant delight by Mr. Halstead who seems to be in- clined to blush now and then at the company he finds himself in. It will be an immense relief to Hendricks himself, for it will enable him to rest from a straddle which has been the most painful one in the whole of his long experience. It would be uukiud to whisper in his ear that it will not make him President but it would be true.
The silver agitatioo is but oue phase of a
temper which chafes uader the restraints im- posed by law, and demands that law shall be made tributary to fraud and violence. Be- neath all its forms, this temper will be found uniform in its hostility to the fulfillment of contracts and the honorable discharge ot ob- ligations which events have rendered burden- some. Whether it succeed or fall in Con- gress this session we are far from seeing its end. Success will make it more exacting; failure will make It more desperate. The logic which sustains remonetization will by and by be employed in attacks upon other forms of capital. Senator Jones has fore- shadowed some of these attacks, and has not deprecated them. Senator Yoorhees has plainly foretold more, and applauds while he predicts.—N. T. Times.

ALLEGED CORRUPTION, The Washington Post of Tuesday morning

A BLOW AT THE LOBBYISTS. If Speaker Randall enforces the rules of the
House concerning the admission of persons not members to the floor, as he has been point- edly instructed to do, there will be a marked improvement over the present condition of things, which had become scandalous to the last degree. The debate on the subject was courteous for the most part, bat it was easy to see that there was much feeling concerning the annoyance to which members have been sub- jected.
GOVERNMENT Of THE DISTRICT. The House Committee on the District of Col-

SOME OF THE NEW BILLS. Mr. Durham of Kentucky, from the House
Committee on Appropriations, reports a bill which appropriate $20,000 for the employment of clerks in the Land Office and to investigate fraudulent land entries, trespasses on public lands, etc., and $25,000 to enable the Commis- sioners of the General Land Office to employ the necessary clerical force to carry into effect the act of Congress approved June, 1879, for biinging into market public lauds lu Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi. Alabama and Florida. The bill introduced by Mr, Stephens to enable importers to use metric weights and measures, provides that ad-quautum duties upon imported goods invoiced according to the metrie system shall be collected at rates appropriate to the weights and measures of said system; the rate per gram to be 35,10 per cent, of tbe rate per ounce avoirdupois, or 32.10 per cent of tbe rate per ounce Troy; the rate per kilogramme to be 22.10 times the rate per pound; tbe rate per per metric ton to be 22 times the rate per 100 pounds or 98 percent, of the rate par 2240 pounds; the rate per lineal metre to be 109 per cent, of the rate per lineal yard; the rate per
square meter to 119 per cent, of the rate per square yard; the rate per square meter to be 197 per cent, of the rate per 1000 square feet; the rate per liter to be 26 per cent, of the rate per gallon; the rate per hektoliter to be 28.10 times the rate per bushel; the rate per cubio meter to be 13 times the rate per cubic yard, or 35 times the rate per cubio foot.
THE CURRENCY, The House committee on banking and cur-
rency had under consideration Tuesday the bill offered by Mr. Springer of Illinois to pre- vent the further contraction of the currency. The author of the bill appeared and urged the adoption of the bill. He said the currency was being contracted at the rate of $1,000,000 a month, and he thought it should he made the law that legal tender notes should not be al- lowed to fall below the volume of $350,000,000. He thinks that the President would not veto such a bill, and that after its passage it would be easier to accomplish tbe repeal of the re- sumption act. The resumptionists would be less anxious to maintain that measure when they found they could not do it and destroy the legal tender currency of the country. Mr. Springer having referred to the large number of failareB throughout tbe country as having beea brought about by the contraction of the currency, Mr. Chittenden of New York, who is a member of tbe committee, answered him that the; were failures of men who had been financially embarrassed for years, and their failures took place in the minst ot a plethora of money, such as had not existed in New York for a long time. The fact, he said, that millions of dollars were lying idle in banks was evidence that there was no scarcity of money
tact that there was this plethora of money and no demand for it, was evidence that the financial system was so deficient and wrong as to destroy the business of the country. Mr. Springer will endeavor to pat his bill on its passage under a suspension of the rules unless the committee agree to report it before an op- portunity of his being recognized for the pur- pose is presented.
What Girls Cannot Study. The New York Times philosopher points out
several of the regular college studies which girls canuot pursue:
The sophomore year iu most of our colleges is devoted to base ball. Will President Bas- com have the temerity to assert that this is a
sedentary pursuit, or that it is one in which it is possible for girls to excel? We all know that natnre has so constructed the girl that she cannot throw a ball with any force or accuracy. If the most accomplished of President Bas- com’s young ladies were to attempt to pitch a base bail, the chances are that, instead of coming within reach of the batsmaD, it would describe a parabolic curve and smash the pres- ident’s front window. Neither can young ladv students strike or catch a ball when thrown with the proper degree of force. In short, base ball is a study in which it is mora'ly impossible that girls should ever successfully compete with men. The tame may be said of foot bail, whiob, iu some colleges is an optional study, which these who do not fancy base bail are per- mitted to substitute for the latter. It is barely possible, judging from the remarks which Chi- cago and St. Louis newspapers constantly make in regard to the feet of the ladies of those citiee, that Western girls are better adapted for foot ball than are the girls this side of the Alle- ghanies, bat it may be safely asserted that no girl can graduate in foot bail, especially in col- leges wbere the Rugby method is studied, with any honor, or indeed, with any standing in her class. By far the most importantstudv pursued at any American collage is that of rowing. From this study girls are virtually debarred simply by reason of their sex. Man is so con- stituted that be can reduce bis clothing to a close-fitting nnder-shirt and a pair of attenuated trousers, which add scarcely anything to his weight in a six oared shell It is asserted by all scientifio authorities that girls are incased in many successive layers of clothing which are believed to bs permanently affixed to them, and the aggregate weight of these is enormous. This would alone render girls unfit to pursue the fascinating and improving stndy of rowing, but there are other obstacles equally impossi ble to overcome. Girls canuot ruu to any ex- tent worth mentioning; and are hence unable to run along the shore while a boat-race is in progress, yelling enoouragement to the oars- men and announcing the odds which they are prepared to bet on their favorite crews.
THE RETURNING BOARD.
Secretary Sherman’s Opinion of the Pros- ecntioa—Anderson’s Trial Began.
New York, Jan. 30.—Secretary Sherman is reported as regarding the airest of the return- ing board as a very unfortunate and ill-advised movement, and likely to produce the worst re- sults. It is in direct hostility to the lioe mark- ed out by Gov. Nicholls and the conservative and respectable people of Louisiana. I5ut they cannot.it appears, resist the intolerant and lawless element. He doubts if Gov. Nict- olls would on this account have the courage to exercise the gubernatorial prerogative of clem- ency, ehonld the returning board be found guil- ty and sentenced to imprisonment. Ou the whole, he is foroed to take a gloomy view of the future politically and socially in Louisiana. He says the reports that be bad gived a guar- antee to ex-Gov. Wells of Louisiana against prosecution are “mere fadge.’’
The Herald’s Washington despatch thus speaks for President Hayes:
The administration does not trouble itself about the members of the Louisiana returning board. The President holds his place by the decision of the electoral commission, and not by any frauds which may have been committed in Louisiana. If wrong was done there, he will not protect the wrong-doers or seek to stand between them and exposure and punishment lor their crime. The concealment of wrong- doing might embarrass him; its discovery and punishment certainly would not.
New Orleans, Jan. 30.—The trial of An- derson was resumed today. The clerk read the information against the prisoner to which he had pleaded not guilty. The first witness for the state was W. H. Smart and being sworn said: I am clerk of the District Court of Ver- non Parish. I was deputy clerk before. The document shown me contains my official signa- ture. It is an election return,
Thomas Franklin, supervisor cf registration of Vernon Parish, testified after identifying the returns shown him to the alterations made after he signed them, that only at poll No. 8 were any Republican votes cast, and there only two for some of the Hayes electors, several of them receiving none at all. Looking over the returns from poll No. 2 the votes were elteied in giving each Hayes elector 97 votes while they received none. At poll No. 9 81 votes were given the Hayes electors while they had received none. This was after he had signed the returns. In the consolidated returns of all votes cast in the the parish, where the Reoublican elect ira
received two votes 178 were given to Kellogg Burch and Joseph, and 180 to Marks, Sheldon, Joffison, Brewster and Lsvissec. The Demo- cratic electors had received 647 votes which were altered to 460 votes.
The question if the returns for other officials had been altered was opposed by the defence as the charge was only as to electors for Presi- dent and Vice President. The objections were overruled and exceptions taken.

MAINE.
The Tenant’s Harbor Murder.
THE VICTIM STRANGLED TO
DEATH.
Robbery ihc Motive ol the Crime.
[Special to the Press.] Rockland, Jan. 30.—Au inquest was held at
Tenant’s Harbor today to investigate the mntder of Mrs. Sarah H. Meservy. A visit to the scene of the tragedy revealed that a most bratal mnrder had been done. The unfortunate victim was found in a small sleeping room off the kitchen, lying at full length on the floor and wrapped in a woolen blanket. Her arms were bound together w'*h a cod line, a cloud was wound around ti > neck several times passing under the left arm, and securely tied. The limbs were covered with braises aud the head badly cut with a blunt instrument in sev- eral places; Nothing indicating au outrage was discovered. The room where the body lay was besmeared with blood. The couditiou of the premises showed that the woman had made a desperate fight for her life.
The deed was evidently doue for money as she was known to have had several hundred dollars in the boose. The fact that the murder has remained undiscovered for over five weeks has given the murderer ample time to obliter- ate all traces by which he might have been dis- covered. A piece of brown paper was found in the kitchen on which was scrawled in pen- cil: “I came as a woman; she was oat and I-till she came back; not for money, bat killed her.” On the back was written: “Monday evening 24th.”
The inquest developed no new facts and a
verdict was rendered that the deceased met her death by strangulation at the hauds of a per- son or persons to the jury unknown. A.

THE ELECTORAL BARGAIN.
Major Reirke’s Reply to Chandler’s Query —A Response which Amounts to a Con- fession.
i Washington. Jan. 30.—W. E. Chandler fur- nishes the following telegraphic correspondence I Kaftnnan Tiimculf on<l AT a J on IT. A 1).Im
New Orleans, Jan. 29. Hon. William E. Chandler:—Before consid-
ering the subjest matter of the telegram re- ceive 1 this day, purporting to be signed by W. E. Chandler, I desire to ask if the author is the Chandler who, as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury travelling through the Sonth in 1805, corrnptly participated in the spoils gatnered by supervising Treasury agents engaged in robbing their government, and in defrauding the dis- tressed people of this and adjacent states? Is it the Chandler who, as Secretary of the Re- publican National Committee, with certain Re- publicans from Louisiana, at a conference or conferences at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, concerning Louisiana affairs about Octo- ber, 1872, secretly and corrnptly conspired to take advantage of the absence from Louisiana of the Governor thereof to assemble secretly the Legislature, impeach the Governor, seize the government, use its machinery to carry the election of 1872? Is it the Chandler who earn- ed and received a fee from Kellogg ol $3000 in 1873, and the encomium that you had done more for him than any one except Attorney General Williams in maintaining his foul and infamous usurpation of the office of Governor of this state? Is it the Chandler who encour- aged, abetted and conspired with infamous al-
I lies in this city to rob 12,000 citizensof New Or- leans of the franchise, and drag them before the Federal courts, on or about the day of the late election? Who, in November, 1870, by telegraph, guaranteed Kellogg that the whole power of the government would sustain the re- turning boarl in countiug the vote of Loui-ia- na for the Republican candidates, and then hastened to Florida to manipulate the frauds of that state count? Is it the Chandler who has of late been vainly seeking to stir up the “hell- broth” of sectional bate, and foul bis political nest to the disgust of decent citizens North and South ?
If yea, permit me to say that the inquisito- rial powers of political tramps terminated in March last. Such persons are the subjects of inquisition.
If nay, the important telegram shall have such consideration as it deserves
E. A. Burke Chandler replied as follows:
Washington, Jan. 30. Major E. A. Burke, New Orleans:—Your vio-

Rumored Occupation of Rodosto by the Russians,
London, Jan. 30.—It is stated that Austria declined to commit herself to joint action with England, unless she is previously assured that the British ministry is safe against assaults of the opposition which might leave Austria isolated at a later stage.

The majority for a war credit in Parliament is estimated at over oDe hundred. Meetings are holding throughout the country to influence Parliament against the credit, but mostly by liberal or reform peace organizations. No non-partisan meeting has .vet been attempted. An open air meeiiug at Sheffield yesterday, for opposing the government,turned into an an- ti-Russian demonstration. An amendment to the original resolution against a credit was car- ried by an immense majority, declaring that the cause of peace aud the interests of the Xrn- pire would be best promoted by supporting the foreign policy ot the government. The meet- ing numbered over 20,000. They sung patriotic songs, cheered Lord Beaconstiela’s name and greeted Carnarvon's with hisses and cries of “traitor.” Some of the leading provincial newspapers are takiug au auti-Russiau tone.
The Committee of the Red Crescent Society telegraphs from Constantinople aD appeal for help for the wounded in that city Irom all parts of the country. Nearly 150,000 refugees of war, flvinv from militarv onerations. denrived of all means and almost naked, constitute a eituftion which, considering the limited resources of the Red Crescent Society, might end in a general calamity.
Special correspondents continne to give de- tails of the great distress prevailing. They state that small pox and typhus have commenc- ed among the refugees, and efforts are making to send them to A-ia. They apprehend that tbe increased population of Constantinople will occasion a scarcity of provisions, uHless some SDecial effort is made from without to replenish the stores.
Eight thousand refugees arrived in the capi- tal Monday. It is impossible for all to find shelter. Many are huddled iu open sheds, knee-deep in mud and water. The wholesale exodus from Roumelia continues.
In the Commons this afternooo, Trevelyan Pym, a conservative, gave notice that he would move to-morrow that the House, while giving the government due credit for maintaining a policy determined upon after tbo solemn assur- ances of the Czar that he desired only immuni- ty for the Christian subjects of the Porte, and aimed at no aggrandisement whatever, is of opinion that these assurances are being deliber- ately evaded by the proposed terms of peace and tbe advance of the Russiau arms, and be- lieves that the time has come when immediate action on the part of Eogland is an absolute necessity, and requests forthwith estimates for placing the army and navy on a war footing. Pern represents the strong Turkophile section of tbe House.

Gladstone, in accepting an address from the Liberal association at Oxford, to-day, said be considered the sendiugof tbe fleet into the Dar- danelles as an act of war, a breach of neutrali- ty. Tbe vote of £5,000,000 would be taken by Turkey as encouragement to prolong tbe war. He feared the vote wonld bo carried by the failure of the Irish members to oppose it, though he hoped for Ireland’s honor, those who hal themselves been straggling for freedom would respect and sympathize with the freedom of others. He said the Liberals were in the minority in the Uommoup, hut they had the country with them oa this question. It rested with tbe country to any whether it would incur the burden of the vote and encourage Turkey to persevere iu prolonging a cruel aud bloody struggle which had already brought her well nigh to destruction.

The state of affairs has long existed, and dealers have come to look upou it as a matter of course, showing no desire to force the market with concessions, feeling assured that when stock is actually needed no trouble will be realized in obtaining present asking rates. With the exception of California, there is a very limited amouut arriving, and no very great quantity is ex-
pected from any quarter. The statistical position is wholly in favor of the bolding interests, and it is on-
ly a matter of time when the demaud shall improve aud when present figures will be considered low, provided Congress does not altar the tariff on the for- eign article.
In Philadelpnia there is no spirit in ihe market, and the manufacturers complain thbt the figures re- alized for many kiuds of gooffs are I ow and unsatis- factory. There has been some inquiry for Colorado aud Clothing Wools, but without improvement in prices.

Poisoning Dogs.—Several favorite dogs be- longing to well known citizens on Mnnjoy Hill having died rather mysteriously cf late, an in- vestigation was commenced which resulted in a criminal prosecution, which was commenced in the Municipal Court yesterday morning. The prosecutors claimed that Mr. Mack, the accused, left poison on the highway which was eaten by the dogs, and which killed them. This was done, it was claimed, to keep the dogs away from the respondent’s prem’sea. The re-
spondent denied the charge, and a large num- ber of witnesses were called on both sides. After hearing the testimony and arguments Judge Knight held tbe respondent in the sum of $200 to await the action of tbe grand jury. Able counsel appeared on each side and tbe matter creates a great deal of interest on tbe hill. __

4 Model Bark. Ob the west side of Union wharf can be seen
the largest bark bat one ever seen in this har- bor. It is the Cedar Croft, Capt. Yonng, and she is not only large, bat she is well built and is a very handsome model. She was launched on the first of last June at St. John, N. B„ where she was built by David Lynch, a well known builder of that city. Her owners are Troop & Son, large ship owners. She is the pet ship of their fleet, and was bailt regardless of expense. She was named after the country residence of Mr. Howard Troop, the junior member of the firm of Troop & Son. She is 176 feet beal, 38 feet beam, aud 22 feet 2 iocbes hold, and 200 feet over all. She is 1098 92-93 tons, and took from St. John as her first cargo 552 standard deals. For her second cargo she took 1814 tons of grain from New York. It was pronounced the largest cargo for the tan- nage ever taken out of New York, and not a pound of it was damaged. She is sealed for grain now ana will load here for Liverpool in a few days. She was rigged quick and has been fast ever since. Fourteen days after she was lauuched she was rigged and loaded with deals, ready to sail This was done under the super- intendeucy of Mr. Howard Troop. She bason several occasions sailed 13jj miles an hour. Al- though the vessel was built iu New Brunswick her builders had the good sense to adopt ail the latest improvements, whether American or
Eaglisb. She has the Emerson windlass, a
double action capstan, a Providence patent tiller, cotton sails from the Woodbury mills, charcoal wire for standing rigging and New Bedford rope. Sbe will go into the dry dock before loading to be coppered.i
The bark is bailt of the very best timber, se-
curely fastened with copper and iron bolts The accommodations for the crew are large aud con-
venient, while the officers are unusually well provided for. The captain’s quarters are prob- ably better than on a third of the vessels sail- ing from here. He can accommodate ten pas- sengers and then have plenty of room for his own use. The forward cabin is finished in oak and black walnut, with stuffed furniture. The after cabin is finished in ash and bird’s eye ma- ple, and is lighted with two large sky-lights, which are filled with thrifty plants. The fur- niture i3 black walnut, stuffed. Off of this room is a library, medicine room, wash room and sleeping room. Tbe pantry, which opens from the forwari cabin, is finished iu ash and walnut and looks good enough for a parlor. r\__ » .. .... .... '-'“V Vi vuu Uiuoi atbiaiiiavD uujtcis HUUUL IU0
vessel is the figure-head, which is a fine tpiece of carving. The figure represents a young wo ■
man gazing over the water as though looking for some object in the distance. Oue hand shades her eyes from the glare of the sun while the other holds back a white flowing gown.
The owners are not only very prund of their vessel bat Capt. Young, who has been a ship master since ’59, thinks it is the finest vessel he was ever ou. Since her arrival here several nautical men have looked her over in company with the captain, and they all with one accord pronounce not only well built bat of very hand- some proportions as well. Capt. Yonng will be glad to show his vessel to all who are interest" ed in examining a fine craft.
Capt. Young is a prince of good fellows, and he look3 after his vessel as carefully as a man would his horse. Every part of the bark is kept as neat as wax, and it is really a relief to see her looking so fine after visiting others less inviting in appearance.
THE WHIM (SHOUTING AFFAIR.
A Dispute Over a Game of Dominoes Ends in Ike Shooting of a Tittle Girl
bf Her Brother.
The mystery sutrouudieg the Wells shooting affair has been cleared up. It turns out that the tramp story was a lie told by the:real culprit who was the wounded girl’s brother. It seems that on Sunday evening, Mr. and Mrs. Penney went to church, and the children, consisting of a boy, Preemrn, aged thirteen, and two little girls, aged 8 and 5 respectively, remained at home and amused themselves at a game of dominoes. The game had progressed for some
time, when young Freeman began and accused the oldest sister of giving the youngest too many dominoes. Angry words lead to threats, and finally the excited youth exclaimed, “Damn you, if you do that again I’ll shoot you!” His angry passions again getting the better of him, he was true to his word, and drawing from his pocket a small revolver, he piacea in opposite me oreast ot tne oldest sister ami discharged it. His aim was poor, and the contents were lodged in the breast of the little five year old girl who stood close by. Then be- coming alarmed and fearing detection, he cooiy went outside, smashed the window pane with a small bottle threw away his revolver, and threatened his oldest sister until she prom- ised to corroborate bis story, and tell the par- ents that tramps did it. The boy then ran to the church, a mils away, where the father and mother were worshipping, and frightened them and the whole congregation by a terrible story of the shooting of his little sister by pass- ing tramps. Hastening home, the girl was found in the care of neighbors. She was una- ble to talk; a ballet had entered just under the right shoulder, and she was in great suffering. The doctor was summoned, and after careful probing removed the ball. The yarn of the young urchin iu regard to tramps was insisted upon by him as true until Tuesday, when both he and the eight year old girl owned np and made a clean breast of the unfortunate affair. The little girl who was the victim of her broth- er’s unruly passion, was in a very precarious condition np to Tuesday, but is now consider- ed out of danger. The boy says he took sis dollars from his father’s pocket book, and with a portion of it bought his revolver at North Berwick. Ha had kept the weipon concealed in the house till the evening of tne shooting.
A Defaulting Town Theasubeb.—An Augusta despatch to the Boston Po9t says Mr. BrowD, Treasurer of the town of Monmonth, mysteriously disappeared about a week ago, and from what can be learned of his affairs it is believed he is a defaulter to the amount of $10,000 of the town’s fands. His flight has been kept very quiet, as the town authorities have been bopiag that their suspicions would be proved groundless by his return; bnt as no
traces of his whereabouts having been discover- ed, and as he has been found to be heavily in debt, all hopes of his return appears to have been abandoned. Some time since the town authorized him to borrow $10,000 to meet the town’s current expenses, and he hss been re-
ceiving snms of money from various parties and given his receipt as Treasurer. It is thought that the town will have to assume the )osj, un-
less it is discovered that he has borrowed more than the specified sum, in which case there will doubtless ba 6ome legal complications. Mr. Brown has always enjoyed the confidence of his fellow-townsmen hitherto, and his conduct occasions general surprise.
The Mekeill Will Case.—The hearing on the contested will of Mrs. Caroline Merrill, was resumed before the Surrogate in New York, Tuesday. Mr. Vanderveer appeared in behalf rxt DiutlAn [TaaItt Af 4-kin oitn ffil.„ D_T\_
Cbatard testified that he met Mrs. Merrill in Rome and Naples, where she often spoke of Bishop Bacon. After his death she asked the witness it she could not substitute the Cardinal for the late Bishop Bacon. Mrs. Merrill met witness and Dr. Smith in January, 1875, at the American College in Rome, where she signed the codicil to the will, and afterwards took it away. The witness never eaw the original will. Mrs. Merrill seemed to be in sound miud; was never under duress, and moved iu the best cir- cles. She appeared to he a shrewd old lady, very determined—had a will of her own. The witness heard of Mrs. Merrill afterwards at Saratoga, hut did not see her. While in New York the witness called at her hotel, but did not see her as she was then sick.
Maine Teachers Association.—The regu- lar meeting of the committee ou instruction of the Maine Teachers’ Association will be held in Augusta, on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 8th and 9th, During the first day the committee will visit the city school?; and in the evening there will bj a public meeting in the House of Representatives. Messrs. W. J. Corthell of Calais, A. W. Burr of Haliowell, A. H. Kelley of Belfast, B. Woodbury of Farmington, and others,will discuss the question, “Examiuaiion of Teachers.” Messrs. J. II. Hanson of Wa- terville, G. B. Files of Augusta, G. C. Rounds of Farmington, G. T. Fletcher of Castine aud others, will discuss the question, “Preparation of Teachers.” Messrs. Thomas Tash of Port- land, A. J. Phipps of Lewiston, E 3. Morris of Biddeford and others, will discuss the ques- tion, “Basis of distribution of school money.” The discussion of these very important subjects will be continued Saturday forenoon. All in- terested are invited to attend.
Y. M. C. A. State Canvass —The work at Milltown, St. Stephens, under Col. Shaw, has been greatly blessed, the whole community is moved and there are a large number of con- verts. Mr. C. M. Bailey of Wiuthrop, with a hand of workers, Jordan and Robinson of Au- burn, and Smith, Baistow and Mitchell cf Portland, have been laboring in Wiscasset for
■j the past ten days. They are receiving a great blessing and souls are consua.iy coming to the Saviour.
Richmond. Richmond, Jan. 30,1878.
The Richmond Lodge, I. O. O. F., assisted by friends, gave two dramatic entertainments to fair audiences, Monday and Tuesday evenings, for the benefit of the Lodge. The dramas, "Henry Dunbar” and “Miriam’s Crime,” and the farce, “Caught by the Cuff,” were success-
fully presented, considerable talent being shown in the representations. Hail’s orches- tra, eight pieces, of Richmond, furnished some fine music dnriDg the evening. The entertain- ment Tuesday evening was closed by a social hop, music by the Richmond Quadrille Band.
The Lodge is in a prosperous condition, ft is
composed of some of the best young men in
town, and starting under favorable circumstan- ces, promises to become one of the institutions of the place. Success to it!
The ice men are feeling much interested in the prospect of a successful year. Only J. B. Nortou has commenced patting in yet, run-

Lot# in'Venlce.
Xcra Bee, Beloved, what was rite, When art was art, and Venice, Venice!
Between Delight and Vengeance liie Was bandied like a ball at tennis.
In Raskin's prose, in Browning’s verse, Who runs may read the gallant story,
iffAud Cool in modem ease rehearse This tragic farce of Love-in-Glory.
8ome young patrician, (there he lies!) ▲ model tor imperial Titian,
Has breathed, of course, the oaths and 6lghs That sound so sweetly in Venetian!
And Monna Bice in her bower, All of her senator aweary,
Has listened, and has found the hour, With thinking of them, scarce so weary.
He diced, and sauntered life away, Still'dallylng, smiling, singing, sleeping:
She sat in sunshine, day by day Her tresses bleaching, combing, steeping.
They met at feast-tide, to behold The Sea and Venice meetly married;
And fats tor them had words ot gold— The something came that long had tarried.
One sees it all, as in a glass! The week of fluttering contemplation,
The cerenades, the looks at mass, The touching hands, the assignation,,
The mask and sword, the secret stair, The mystic night a dream ot blisses,
Far sounds of music on the air, And in the dusk a storm of kisses.
And so on!—Till the plenilune. The perfect circle of possession.
Gloomed, and a discord marred the tune, And some one spoke their dear transgression.
The husband frowned, a message sped, (They had of settlement a rare wav!) And Ser Francesco, done and dead,
Sprawled at the bottom of the stairway. And were theyhappy, dear? No doubt,
They lived, they loved, they found fruition. And ere the light had flickered out
They Buttered. And—A supposition For yon to pout at!—on the scene
When yet ot lovers two or three are. I can can conceive, they may have been
As happy, let ns say, as we are! —Belgravia.

In ancient times, the Greek crowned their bacchanalian cups and vases with flowers and garlands; and the Egyptians plaeed a oholnlAn oa n wiam qt iVifiii* fnolitrn
boards. Let ns employ our old fashioned china punch bowls in a similar service; fill them with the purely fragrant hyacinth, the rich»y colored tulip, and the rarely veined crocus, aDd place them on the table, as a
trophy of the triumph gained by the refin- ment of education over the sottish and sens- ual self-indulgence of a past age. The cocoa- nut prepared fibre, which can be obtained of all florists, can be used to fill the bowl; or, if not come-at-able, silver scouring sand can be substituted, or the moss and lichens of the woods. The bulbs must be firmly insert- ed in the moss, etc, well dampened, and so
disposed that those of the tallest growth shall occupy the centre of the bowl, which should be arranged higher than the sides. The hya- cinths, must be covered one inch in depth, the crocuses hut slightly. If they are plant- ed in concentric circles, each composed of one color around the bowl, they will present a
charming effect when in bloom. The double Roman narcissus grows well in moss, and forms a fine centre for the floral bowl. In selecting bulbs for a punch bowl or glass dish, due regard muBt be paid to their season of flowering, so that all the plants may be in bloom at one time.
The bowl must be kept in a dark place at least four weeks, aud the moss not allowed to become dry; when brought out to the sun-
light, the room should not be too warm at first: a heated, dry atmosphere will check the rapid development of the leaves and flower buds; but soon they will endure all the sun-
light obtainable. We can assure our readers that a china or glass bowl, filled with any or a mixture of all of these bulbs in growing condition, is a very handsome ornament for any apartment, and when in full bloom it will be a handsome ornament on a supper table.
If the Hewers are desired for Easter, the bulbs need not be planted until Christmas; but for Christmas they want to be planted quite early. Lily of the valley can be easily forced in this manner, taking care to bring into the house large siz ed roots which will surely bloom, and keeping them in a cool dark place, free from frost, for five weeks, then giving them air and sunlight.
Cyclamens are of the loveliest description of bulboHs-rooted flowers; the blossoms hover like brigatly plumaged birds over the dark- green leaves.—Cottar/ Hearthe.
The Chinch Bug Preventive.
For the la9t three years the farmers through- out Wisconsin have had their wheat crop, if not entirely destroyed, very much injured; by the chinch bug. We have seen whole fields just headed out, that promised a yield of thirty bushels per acre, completely destroyed in three or four days by the ravages of these Insects, and instead of thirty bushels per acre, the farmer would not get his seed back. I bad a field of eight acres that was destroy- ed in that manner last year, so last spring we determined to try an experiment with them, and sowed the same field to wheat and of the same variety. The land was plowed very deep in the fall, and the wheat was sown about the 20th of April on the fall plowing, using a broadcast seeder and cultivator for that purpose. I went over the field with the cutivator once before sowing and again while sowing, finished up with the harrow. When the wheat was about two inches high, I went over it with a heavy roller, and then sowed 100 pounds of land plaster per acre. In a week or ten days after, I sowed 100 pounds of salt per acre, but on the places where the chinch bugs had commenced and were worse the year before I sowed a double quantity. The result was the field headed out very even, straw strong and heavy, and all stood until harvested, and when ripe was a very bright yellow—no appearance of rust or chinch bug to be seen. When thrashed, the field yielded twenty five bushels per acre of clean wheat weighing sixty pounds to the bushel, and right here I would say that in the place where 200 pounds of salt were sown, the wheat was considerable heavier; so next year \ shall sow 200 pounds to the acre, and note the result. The adjoining field contain- ing ten acres was sown to wheat at the same time and of the same variety subjected to the same treatment in every respect, excepting there was no salt or plaster sown. The year before it raised a crop of barley, and was in
food condition to raise a large erop of wheat. 'he wheat came up good, and leoked well
until after heading out, and up to this time promised to be equally as good a crop as the other field, but about the time the kernel was forming the head, we noticed it turning white in spots, and in about a week more we had to cut it, and while binding, the chinch bugs could be seen in miliions. When thrashed, this field yielded only fourteen bushels per acre of wheat, more or less shrunken. I must give the salt and land plaster the credit of the extra eleven bushels per ante.—American Farm Journal.
Brazilian Halter making. A writer in the London, England, Medical
Examiner, in relation to butter making in Brazil, gives the following four primitive methods in use there, and recommends the third of these methods to all tbe “muscles of uw mime rur me urai mu uuuer 19 made by merely putting the milk in a commoa bowl, and beating with a spoon as you would an egg. The second (here we begin to warm to our work) by pouring the milk into a bot- tle and shaking it till the butter appears, when it is removed by breaking the top off the bottle, bottles being valueless here on ac- count of the vast number imported with for- eign fruit and liquids. The third, where the dairy is more extensive, is performed by fil- ling a hide with the milk, which is lustily shaken by a native at each end, until butter is produced’ The fourth, which is consider- ed to indicate fast progress over any ot the preceding methods, consists in dragging the hide or leathern vessel on the ground after a galloping horse, until it is supposed the but- ter is formed. The milk is never strained, and the butter never washed.
Handling Imported Poullr
One of the important principles in the breeding of improved poultry, and the princi- ple will apply a3 well to the breeding of stock of any kind, is the absolute necessity that each individual should be without tear ct those who care for them. Many clutches of eggs are ruined every year by inattention to this matter. The bird should be used to be- ing handled, and should ba taught to come freely to the breeder or attendants at call. It the birds are early taught this lesson, and never allowed to ha frightened, they will have no iear whatever ot those about them, and will soon come to be as much attached to the attendants as a house dog.

IMPORTANT LETTER From a Distinguished Physician.
XTO single disease has entailed more suffering or has- r.t«ii.hnen«break,in£ X}P of the constitution than Catan h. The sense of smell, ol taste, of sight, of hear- ing, the human voice, the mind, one or more and some- Sfi?f!SxaHyl<2£t0 hs destructive influence. The poison it distributes throughout the system atacks every vital lm-ce, and breaks up the most robust of constitutions, ignored because but little understood by most physi- cians, impotently assailed by quacks and charlatans, those suffering from it have little hope to be relieved or lo this side of the grave. It is time, then, that the popular treatment of this terrible disease by remedies within the reach of all passed into hands at once com- petent and trustworthy. The, new and hitherto untried method adopted by Dr. Sanford in the preparation oi his radical Cuhk lias won my hearty approval. I be- i-lc.ye.it likely to succeed when all the usual remedies fail, because it strikes at the root of the disease, viz., the acidified blood, while it heals the ulcerated mem- brane by direct application *o the nasal passages. Its action is based on certain fixed rules, and unless the vital forces are too far exhausted, must, in the great majority of cases, eflect a cure.

GEO. BEARD, M. D. I.0E5C0TT Block, So. Fbasiisgiiam, Oct. l, 1874.
SANFORD’S RADICAL CORE MAY safely claim to be one of the fcwpopular remo-
dies receiving the approval of medical gentlemen, wno, In private, not only freely recommend it but use it in their families in preference to any of the prepara- tions usually prescribed by physicians. You are aware,” said a distinguished city physician, •‘that my obligations to the Mass. Medical Society are Euch that I cannot publicly recommend or prescribe the Radical Cure; but since I received so; much relief from the use of it myself, after a thorough trial of the usual remedies, I have privately advised its use, and presume I have sent to your store no less than one hundred ot my patients for it.”

Wc are not in the habit of recommending patent medicines, but your preparation meets the wants of thousands, and we think those afflicted should be con- vinced of its great merit so th at their suffering will be relieved.
