DEATH OF MAJOR OEN. THOMAS.
The death of Major General George H.
Thomas, at San Francisco, on Monday
night, of apoplexy, is announced by tele
graph. This intelligence will occasion
general and deep sorrow in our country.
The brave, trusty, honest hero hail won a
place in the affections of our people scarce
ly second to that held by any of the fore
most defenders of the Union against the
rebellion. His sterling integrity of char
acter elevated him quite as much in the
public estimation as the dauntless bravery
and skill with which he led his troops in
battle. Over his grave the tenderest and
sineerest tears of the nation will fall.
BUILD UP YOUR STATE.
With the coming season of artive labor
there will lx* many ol our people in the
State of Maine looking about for employ
ment, some of them probably casting their
eyes anywhere except to the place in which
thev are located, and considering the
chances in Arizona, California, or New
Mexico, with more care than the opportn
nities which are directly before their eyes.
There arc means of obtaining wealth on
the farm, in the factory, workshop, mill,
or on the ocean, for the citizen of Maine,
if lie will patiently work and improve
them; but the idea that there arc better
places to make fortunes carries away year
ly iu thousands, and those who remain
1 ack the contentment and steady persisten
cy in improving their homes and State
necessary to the highest success. Wher
ever there is resolution to overcome the
difficulties of getting a livelihood at home,
and a feeling of contentment with the sit
uation, there is usually an ample reward.
Some go abroad and do better than those
who remain at home, and many do much
worse. The same application of the hands
and head and deprivation of luxuries and
even comforts which ^settlers in the now
territories of the West have to undergo
will produce as much wealth here as there.
The young married man in Maine could
not think of hiking his wife into a log cab
in in Aroostook, clothing her in homely
garments, depriving her of some of the
privileges of society, and bend his own
back to clearing the forest and guiding
the plow; but he can introduce his wife
to a mud cabin in Nebraska, allow her to
go barefooted and in rags about her work,
avail himself of her assistance in the
field, shut her out from the sqpiety of her
friends and almost her race, and make a
slave and savage of himself. The same
sacrificing spirit and energy exercised iu
Maine would give large returns here. We
know it because it has been tried. Those
who have traveled extensively among the
people of tiiis and other States assert that
Maine shows as much real comfort, thrift,
health and happiness, as any State in the
Union. We cannot raise corn and wheat
in so great abundance as they are produc
ed in Illinois, but what we do raise is
worth much more per bushel to the pro
ducer. What crop in the West compares
with our ice crop ? Look at our rivers in
viting capital and industry to turn them
to profititable use, and promising at no
distant day to be the seats of large manu
facturing interests. See our harbors
alive with vessels engaged in foreign and
domestic commerce or in the fisheries.
In Aroostook there are thousands of
acres of land covered with forests and
waiting for the hand of industry to make
them wave with harvests, to supply which
the State has just made an appropriation for
immigration from Scandinavia. The
homesteads need to be divided and better
cultivated. The “old folks" will be glad
to share the farm with their sons and
daughters. Schoolhouses and churches
are every where. Our State is a resort
for health in the sickly months. What
more do we want to increase our prosperi
ty unless it be more home pride and con
tentment? This is indeed the great need.
We must induce our young men to check
their roving disjjosition and remain at
home to build up their own State, and we
must persuade those who have made their
fortunes here to spend their declining days
with us. Encourage every man who
would build a house, mill, shop, or buy
and inprove land, or establish himself in
any business of industry and productive
ness, and never be afraid to speak well of
the State and its advantages. The fault is
largely in ourselves that Maine is uot held
iu higher estimation. Croakers and do
nothings should lie treated with the little
attention which they deserve, and the men
who are willing to labor in and for the
State and teach and help others to do the
same should be the coming men in places
of lcadership.trust and honor, not specially
to reward them but because we need their
- services and example to keep t» iu the
right way.
There was a prediction by some swinish
individual a few weeks since that the Daily
Kennebec Journal would be suspended
with the risiug of the Legislature. The
session is over hut' the Journal continues
and flourishes, visiting its patrons every
morning regularly, and glowing in public
favor as steadily as the days roll on.
Those who try its virtue as an advertising
medium find that it pays well in that line.
TRAGEDY AT NEW BEDFORD.
The New Medford papers give full partiru- j
lars of the murder, on Thursday evening, of
Theodore L. Marker by Mrs. Elizabeth Chap
man, and the suicide of the murderess. Mrs.
Chapman was al>out 86 years old and a dress
maker, better known as I.iz Duffy, and for
some time she had been intimate with young
Parker, a grocer, who with his brother hoarded
at No. 52 Fifth street, where Mrs. Chapman
also took her meals. The brother of the
murdered man had warned him of the charac
ter of the woman he had seemed not disin
clined to marry, and had made several at
tempts to break off the intimacy. There had
been some coolness between them at various
times, but recently the old relation had been
renewed, and thus matters stood at tea-time
on Thursday. The following account of the
shooting is from the Standard :
' ' Theodore and the woman occupied their
usual scats at the table, side by side. Mhe
finished the meal first, and withdrew to the
front entry, as she hail done frequently be
fore. This was her way of securing his com
pany down street. He left the table a few
minutes afterward, and Mrs. \\ ebster s family
and the boarders were almost immediately
startled by three reports of a pistol. Whether
the parties had any conversation before the
fatal shots were fired is not known ; if any, it
must have been brief. It appears that she
fired twice upon Parker, striking him on the
right side and back of the chest, and then dis
charged her pistol into the front of her own
abdomen, the ball passing entirely through her
body. She was soon found to have taken a
large dose of arsenic and laudanum, and sub
sequently stated that she swallowed the poison
immediately after using the pistol. The pis
tol shot which took effect in Parker's side
first passing through his arm. It is probable
that this was the first one fired, and that he
was shot in the back while in the act ot re
treating. Another supposition is that he was
shot first in the back, before he knew in the
darkness ot the hall that any one was present,
and that the wound in his side was received as
he turned to defend himself. Me it as it may,
his injuries were speedily mortal, and the vic
tim died almost as soon as he could be laid on
his bed.”
The murderess was discovered to be in a
dying condition by the physician called to at
tend her. The pistol used was a large-sized
Colt’s, and was apparently new. The mur
dered man, and the brother above referred to,
were highly respected sons of the late William
G. Parker, and on his death, a few months
since, they succeeded to the business which he
had conducted for many years. Mrs. Chap
man was married to a sailor in August, 1856,
but she never saw her husband after October
of that year, and had obtained a divorce at the
last term of the Supreme Judicial Court, on
the grounds of desertion. The only reason
assigned for her rash nets is that she had ar
rived at an age when it was desirable to retire
to private life, and was disappointed in her
expectation of marrying young Parker. She
was knoa n to be a woman ot ungovernable
passions.
The Cullom bill is a bitter morsel for
the Mormons to swallow. They hard
ly know what sort of a face to put on over
the matter. The News says :
“The striking out of the five sections rids it
of several of its most repulsive features.
They were too strong for Congress to swallow.
Many thought the House would never pass this
lull in any form, and that its clear invasion of
the Constitution would kill it. Wc cannot
say what the Senate will do with it. But this
we can say, if it passes, and then should re
ceive the signature of the President and be
come a law, it will not meet the wishes or
answer the expectations of its authors. Per
sonally, we care not what action he taken.
Persecution drove us from township to town
ship, and soon to a Territory. It has made
us strong, thrifty, and fearless. The most
valuable experience we possess to-day we
gained through persecution, and we do not
dread its effects. If men wish to pusli Mor
monism ahead, Jet them persecute it. Pass
the Cullom hill, and if this fails, raise armies
and attempt to fight, drive, and exterminate, ■
and then watch the results. If it should pass
tlie Senate, and be signed by the Executive,
we may discuss its merits and probable effect.”
The fact that Garret Davis anil Senator
Revels partook of salt together is con
strued l>y some as significant of tin ap
proaching political millenium. IIow this
remarkable circumstance occurred is re
lated by a Washington correspondent' as
follows:
“During his speech to-duy Senator Morton
had on his desk a collection of specimens of
Dominican productions. While speaking of
the great resources of the island the Senator
exhibited a huge block of rock salt, from the
salt, mountains of Neibia. The block was
clear as crystal, and looked more like a piece
of ice. A number of incredulous Senators
took occasion to verify the statement of the
Senator by gathering around and taking a lick.
It was an unusual scene—Revels anil Garrett
Davis licking salt together. A quantity of
St. Domingo hemp was also tried by several
muscuIarSenators. Stewartand Uamsey gave
the fibre a thorough testing, each having hold
of an extremity. The day’s proceedings were,
according to accounts, quite entertaining, and
put everybody in a good humor.”

“Journal of a visit to Egypt. Constantinople,

opportunity to view foreign countries in the
company of royalty, to see things as princes
see them, but here is a chance. The writer
accompanied the Prince and Princess of Wales
in their trip to Egypt, landed with them at
Alexandria, made the voyage of the Nile, up
and down, having Sir Samuel Baker, the re
nowned explorer, as a companion and guide.
The party also visited the Suez Canal, also
Constantinople, the Crimea and Greece. The

From Harper £ Brothers we have “Sketches
of Creation,” by Alexander Winchell, L. L.
I). .This is a work giving a popular view of
some of the conclusions of the science of
matter and life. In addition to its adaptation
to give a general knowledge of the wonders
of creation by its simple method of treat
ing the subject, it keeps prominently before
the mind of the reader the idea that nature is
a revelation of God to human intelligence, al
though no formal attempt is made to show the
relations of science to the Christian faith.
The volume is profusely illustrated and is full
of matter for the curious.

“A Battle of the Books” just published by
Hurd & Houghton, of which Gail Hamilton is

appears that Miss Hamilton is not very well
pl<$tsed with the manner in which the publish
ing house of Messrs. Fields, Osgood & Co.,
who have previously been her publishers,
have treated her, and so in this volume she
tells her story in her own way, which is by no
means without sharpness. The conclusion is
that authors ought to deal with publishers in
a business w ay, taking care of their own rights
and interest, and then they will have no occa
sion to write books like this or lament over
imaginary or real hardships inflicted by pub
lishers.

A new railway is proposed that will bring

Montreal. The route proposed is described
in a bill now before the Dominion Parliament,
and drawn up by Mr. E. It. Burpee, civil En
gineer. who is at Ottawa urging the matter.
Mr. Burpee proposes to start from Uncoln, on
tiK. E. & N. A. Railway in Maine, build 15 j
miles to Milo, on the Piscataquis Railway;
traverse the Piscataquis road to Dover, 25
miles: build from Dover to Sherbrooke on
the Grand Trunk, by Lake Megantic, 125
miles ; and pass thence to Montreal by the
Grand Trunk, the whole distance being only
422 miles from St. John, and there being
only HO miles to build. This would make
the distance 100 miles less than by the pres
ent route via Grand Trunk to Danville, and
thence via Bangor to St. John. The St.
John Telegraph earnestly champions Mr.
Burpee’s plan.
