In tho courso of his criticism, ho commenta upon 8it John A. Mac- Qonald in the following bold languago: * With the oxcoptions of the Lord Chancellor Macoloa- fleld, the Bouth Bes Bubble offenders, snd Lord Molvillo, Bir John A. Macdonald is tho firat, wo ‘boliove, sinco 1688, who has brought the atain of corruption on the namo of tho British Privy Council. In his cnse, considoring what the con- noctions of Bir Hugh Allan wero known to bo, the dark lino of corruption is decpencd by & ghade of treason.” In concluding his article he takos tho following goneral view of tho cnso : It 13 groatly tobo lamentod that & party-triumph #hould bo {n any way mixod up with tho clalma of tho wholo natlon to justice, 1f tho Comservatives fool tempted, undor tho influonco of party focling or long. personal attachmont, to dofond what cannot bo defend- od, let thom remembor that nothing 1 Joft to bo cone served hera but political honor md morality; and that, thaao gone, pubife lfe in Caunds swill becomo o gambllg-table, from which, fn tho end,’ the’ most profiigate advonturer will avsuredly sweep tho stakes, It fs & calamitous affalr. The rosignation of Mr. Lowe, Chancellor of tho Exchoquor of England, and of Mr. Baxier, n Secrolary of the Treasury, has boen the rosult of an official transaction of a kind which, onco exposed in England, is fatal to tho Ministor who porforms it. Americana who are famillar with tho Bocor, Chiorponning, Fort Snelling, and Syn; dicato nffairs, in which tho sovoral Bocrotarles of our Cabinet were notoriously involved, and who have road that another Secrotary in & formor Administration accopted 10,000 from the Pacifie TRailroad Company, whose affairs wore under his charge, will read with surprise tho comparatively trifling dereliotion which, coming to tho knowl- odgo of the public, compelled the British Chan- cellor of tho Exchequer to resign. The Chancellor, having ‘authority of law to contract for stoam mail-gervico botween Zanzi- bar and the Capo of Good Hope, in Africs, mado an agrosmont with tho Union Stesmehip Com- peny ot the rate of £26,000 s yonr, overlooking tho fact that an offer had beon mado to do the same sorvice by tho DBritish India Bteam Com- pany for £15,000, Tho contract waa for & num- Dor of yoars, and tho amount of the difference, capitalized for the term, reached £88,000. All the papers relating to the contracts were laid bofore Parliamont before any action ; the two offers wero amoung the papers,but, 8o clearly was that for the losser sum overlooked, tuat, whilo the tonder iteelf waa presented, no mention was made of it in the oficial list of papers com- municated to Parliamont. Mr. Baxter actually signed und cortifiod this list of pdpors, and yob Lio had nover eeon the papors, No corruption is allegod. All that is charged is gross caroless- nobg, through which tho Minister liastily award- ed o contract to one compmuy at a highor an- nual rato than was asked for the same service by another company. As soon es this matter ‘bocame public, a Cabinot meeting was Leld, and ‘both Mr. Lowe and Mr, Baxter resigned, though todo so causcd a reorganization of tho whole Cabinot, compolling those of the members who are also members of Pamliament to stand for ro-claction, Tho timo Las been whon a like reapect for publio opinion would have caused the prompt rosignation of any mombor .of tho American Cabinet who was dotected in any ofiicial dolin- quenoy involving monoy, espocially it tho trans- nction eavored of corruption. Unfortunately, o differont spirit provails, Tho docay in officisl prido and iutegrity in this country ls roudored mora conspicuous by this inatanco of the high rospect for public opinfon shown by these two Dritigh Miniaters, TAXING RAILROAD PROPERTY. ‘Wo have herotofore noticed the discussion go- ing on in the papers of the Stato upon the propor mode of taxing railroad property, and obsorved that there is a strong tendency toward the plan of taxing railroads upon & gross valus- tion of 60,000 por mile, This would ‘give a8 tho taxable valuo of the railroada in this State about £325,000,000, iustead of about 20,000,000, 8s at presont. Wo have suggested that such n proceeding would defeat itsolf; that taxation ‘must bo uniform as to the property upon which it in nssessed, and that railrond property cannot Do assessed save by that uniform rule prescribod by law for the valuationof all property for taxable purposes. Wa hava suggosted that there might bo somo oquitablo rule adopted by the Stato for tho taxu- tion of ralirond corporations which would obyi- ata tho prasont nncortain, irpogular, and compli- cated systom. In s rocont caso, apponled from TPonnsylvana, tho Bupreme Courtof the United States held that it waa lawful for tho State of Pennsylvania to imposo & tax of threo-fourths of 1 per cout upon the grass recaipta of rail- road and ofbor tranoportation companios. Whilo the Court afirmod ita provious decisions, that no State can lovy a tnx upon freight transported from Btato to State, it hold that the tax on gross recoipls was not a tax upou frolghts any morp than a tax upon tho real estate and other proper- ty of the companios. The Court established two polnts upon the subject of Btate taxation of gor- porations, which aro not only important but sng- gontive: 1, A Btate may tax the franchises of itu oarry- ing companios, and the $ax may bo proportionod on arrangoment would bo tho bost possiblo ar- rangomont for tho Stato, bocause it would havo o constantly-incrensiug Bsourco of rovonuo; it would bo boyond all queation tho fairest modo of nacortaining the valuo of franchises and of tho railroad property. Thoro would bo no varin- tlons na now in local assesement; there would be no coats nor oxpensos, nor delays in collact-: ing the tax, nor could it be defoated by the mis- conduct of looal officers in lovying or collecting To tho rallronds it wonld bo a direct roliof from tho complalnts and borassing pursuit of a swarm of local tax-officors in overy county, town, and city. Instoad of having to pay taxos first to the Btato, and thon to ench town, county, and cityon its lino, & railroad company would have but one tax bill to pay oach year, Itis possiblo that the railroads would pay considor- ably moro tax than thoy now pay ; but whon the ‘blackmail, tho extortions, and tho cost of litiga- tion growing outof controversies with tho legion of tax-ofiicors aro added to tho taxes now paid, the railronds would find that it {8 choapor to pay direetly into tho Btate Treasury o full taxona fair and bonost valuntion than to bo forover pottifogging and equivocating with the publio. Tho franchiscsand proporty of railwaya aro value ablo; they are specisl privileges, and those hold- ing andonjoying them ought to bo willing to con- tribute liberally to the support of the Govern- mont. Raflroads can do no sctmoro justin itaolf; nor one bottor caloulated to conciliste tho publio, than by n frank offer to pny to tho State and the local Governmenta a fair rato of taxa~ tion. . THE SORROWS OF ANN ELIZA. A correspondent of tho Now York Sun recent- ly interviowed Drigham Young, and slso Nra. Aun Eliza Young, who hina rocontly brought suit for divorco, and from his narrative wo oro at 1nst onablod to got & comparatively closr viow of tho situation, and to realize tho longth ond Lreadth of this first outbrenk in Mr. Youug's houechold, snd tho extont to which Ann Bliza has beon damnifled by hor unfortunate marriage. The correspondont found Mr. Young in Lis pri- vate room in the Lion Houso,—a room richly fur- nished, the floor covered with soft carpots snd hung with fine paintings, Whilo the rich tablos woro strown with clegant ormoli ' orna- monts, And yot ho was not hoppy. The cor- respondent st onco entored upon his businoss, and inquired if the divorce papers wore sorved upon him, To roplied fn the sfirmative. Ho hnd read them through, but they were of no ne- count, It was only another attempt at black- mail. The men who wers yunnivg tho suit wanted to get some of the Mormon money, but they would not succoed. Ann Eliza was always tronted ns & wifo should be treatod. . No stipula- tions wore made. 8he bad no esuse for complaint. Bhe had had bad sdvisors, and had taken o wrong step. With regard to tho logal aspects of the cago, the Prophot was certain it was a put-up job, and tho complaint was made in & United Btates Court, which had no jurisdic- tion, The Yerritorial law conferred tho power to try such puits as theso upon the Probate Court alone, aud Torritorial laws aro binding within s prescribed Limit witit Con- “in the various Statos, gross ounuls them. As it was s put-up job, however, tho Prophot had no doubt the case wonld bo entertainedin the United Statos Court, and then bo should foel it to bo his duty to charge Ann Eliza with adultery, of which hohad abundaut and plain proofs, Tho above is tho substanco of the Prophet's statoment, so far ag thio divorco sult is concornod. The convarsa- tion did not closo, Lowover, until ho had froed his mind upon tho subject of the Torritorial oflico-holders, whom ho denounced in bittor terms na rogues and scoundrols, who had de- moralized tho wholo Torritory, filled their pockoets with plunder, pucked grand juries, and woro, in general, 2 sot of God-forsnkon rsg- cals,” which is probably not far from tho truth., Mra. Ann Eliza Young next told her story, which diffora very essentially from that of the Prophet. Mrs, Young is & woman of 25, who was once handsome, but whoso besuty has boen ghattorod by montal and physieal suffering. Bhe was born at Nauvoo, of Mormon parents, gud hor first morriage was an unhsppy one. Sho marriod Brigham Young pertly bocauso sho was afraid to-refuse and partly to help her brother, who had had a contract with Young to put up some tolograph poles, and had been unable to collect the money. Bho and hor parents lived at Littlo Cotton- woodl, and one day Brigham was down thero at- tonding » meoting. After the meeting, hoasked her if he might walk home with hor, and she answorod, a8 many o maidon has beforo: “I have no objection.” On the way he asked lor, whother she ever thought of marrying ngain ; to which ghe repliod that skie had had two or throo offers, and refused thom, just an gontlemaidens often cantiously guard thomsolvoswhen thoy find thomselvosapproachingdolicateground. Thonoxt day Brigham came to dlnner, and after dinnor he took her fathor aside and proposed to marry hor. Thia gy docoivor, with sixteon wives al- ready, professed that hio had always loved Aun Ehza, and, as an inducement, Lo promised to give her a houo and lot aud good support, with 91,000 o year for pookot-monoy. Ann Lliza’s fathor jumped at tho Lait, and shortly aftor Ann Elizs did tho sawe, and found horsolf hooked, 1t ia probablo that sho then commonced to look down upon tho other gisls and to give horselt airs, but they wore of short duration, Bhe #oop faund onv that her husband was both false and fickle, and that thero worp sixteon othor sho's to rccoive his favora Lefore her. Bhe wever saw tho houso and lot, nor the good support, nor tho thousand o yoar. ‘Whonover ho saw her Lo used very insulting and yuigar languago to her, He uover took hor to tho theatro, 1o novor ato with bor. Ho nover him, and Amolln gots row gown or oot of jowoelry whenovor sho wantod it Yn fact, Ame- Mo did what sho pleased, and tho resson was that Amolia hind a will and 8 way of her own, and was virago who hiad myaterious waya of convinclng Brigham that ho had botter bumor bLor, if ho had sny rogard for his health, and who, by the samo procossos, also porsusded the othor wives to sing very omall, and stsy st home, aund not boiher tho old gontleman. Whonever It liapponed, ns it sometimoes did, on raro oc- casions, {hat DBrigham rofused hor any Jlttle favor, thon sho commenced & sysiomatio ‘breakage of dishos and furniture, which she in- duatriously kopt up until the old gontloman waa willing to como down. In a word, Amelia monopolizod him, and thus made it vory monot~ onous and unintoresting for the roat, oapecially for Ann Eliza, who not only bad to mako way for Amolia, but also for the other fiftcon. - 1In viow of all this, it is not surprising that Aun Eliza should fool badly. Ono msy woll ask, Of what uso Brigham is to Ann Eliza a8 a hugband ? A husband is supposed to provido lis wife with & homo, to support her, to buy Ber bonnets, and gowns, and rings, and pins, to furnish hor with pocket-monoy, to take her to tho thoatro, to eit at tho head of the family pow, ond to loyo and chorigh hor and tako'a patornal intorest in tho children, &c., &c. DBut, as furas ony of thesa priviloges are concerned, Anu Eliza might a8 well have s husband living in Kam- sohtka, . E It is s liard esgo. Ann Eliza s a disappointed, ‘misorable woman, no doubt, and thia old repro- bato of 78 wintors, who stands in tho nominal rolation of husband to her, ought to bo com- polled at lonst to make good his promiso with which ho enticod her whon thoy walked homo from meoting together ab. the Littlo Cottonwood. Wo do not seo, howover, that tho couris can afford her any rolief in tho premisos, o8 sho horsol? has violated the laws of tho land in marrying and cohsbiting with Brig- hom Young. Her surest romody is to follow tho oxample of Amelis and bronk things. If Amolin can have her own way by presenting Brigham with brokon crockery, Ann Eliza can also do the eamo, Wo can gee no other way out of hor trou- Dles, especially as whatever Ann Eliza may tostify Brigham can produco a cloud of ‘witnesses Who | will ewaar to the contrary, and, In addition, con- vict hior of all tho orimes in tho calondar. AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES AND LAND- GRANTS. Congrosa has given away about 190,000,000 eerea of the public domain fu the way of subsi- dizing rollrosd, canal, and other- corporations, and less than 160,000,000 scres for all purposos of education, This comparison naturally sug- gesta tho justico of making futurn land-grants, it there are to bo any, to the cause of cducation, cspecially aa tho last consus shows that twenty out of evory 100 persons in the country over the ogo of 10 yoars can nelther read nor write. But if there aro tobo Congressional land-grants for educational purposes, tho peoplo have an interest in sceing that thoy shall not be as reck- lessly misapplied and as grossly mis- usod as they have heon in subsidizing private corporations under the .proteuse of contributing to the public good, A measuro was introduced into the last Congross, which cemo very near passing, that proposod to givo all the residue of tho public lands, now valned at about $00,000,000, to the Agricultural Collegos The lands wero to bo sold and one-balf the proceods given to the Trustecs of the Agricultural Colleges outright. Thoother half was to bo Invested in Unitod Statos bonda for tho benefit of the Colleges. If the proceeds from tho sale amounted to only 874,000,000, tho Trusteos of every Agricnltural Collego would havo the handling of $1,000,000, and every Col- logo would be iu tho anuual receipt of 350,000 income from the intorest on Unitod Biates bouds over and above this. As a matter of courso, a project of thia lund enlisted an enterprising lobby, composed mainly of the Presidonts, Trustoos, and Professors of the vari- ous Agricultural Colleges, who nearly succoeded in sccuring tho passage of the bill. A timely protest from some of the more prominont edu- cators of tho country, and the popular sonti- ment against the wholesale distribution of tho public lnnds, caused the whole scheme to be lnid over at tho very clozo of the session. It is not ot all improbable, however, that this or gome other similar scheme to obtain tha grant of all the publia lands for the benefit of Agrioul- tural Collegos will bo brought bofore tho next Congress. It was this prospect, no doubt, that induced aI’rol!dent McCQosh, of Princo- ton Collogo, to present the subjoct to tho Natlonal Educational Associstion at its recent session in Elmira, N. Y. Tho in- justice of the scheme was painfully iilustratedin “his address, ITo ovidently bolioves, s a good ‘many other peoplo do, that tho Agricultural Col- legos do not accomplish the rosults which were promisod, He has found that, in Beotland, whore farming has rosched a high stato of oxcollence, agriculture is pronfotod by associa~ tions, leoturos, and periodical publications, but not by collogos.

Moroovor, it {s not Mkely thnt snother inatitu- tion like Cornell will grow up under all the £00,000,000 which it {8 proposed to give to Agri- cultural Collegos, It is moro likoly that o largo sharo of this money would bo squanderod and stolon. ‘While Prosidont MoCosh protests against tho discriminativg ondowment of Agricultural Col- logus on the score of injustica and inequality, ho does not ask for a distribution of tho lands among the Colloges and Univoraitics gonorally. Mo thinks that the funds ean be usod to botter advantage. For the Northorn, the Middlo, and tho Wostern States, Lo suggosts that the money should bo used to endow uppor schools, whoro thoy aroncoded, by districts, or by a combination of two or moro districts, on condition that cach diatrict shall raise an amount of money equal to the allotmont of tho public funds. Ono of tho advantagos of this plan would be to oncourage privato contributiona for oducational purposes. Tho spocial advantago would bo the provision of s middle class of schools, of & polytechnio character, highor than the clomon- tary or common schools now well ostsblished ond sustained, and lesa oxacting than the Col- legea and Univorsities, Those schools should in- oludo instruction in every usoful branch of study sulted to young mon and women under 18 yoara of ngo, and should be open to all childron, rich and poor, who have passed tho olomentary grados of finstruction. Prosident MoCosh be- lloves that the Colloges would bo indirectly bone- fited by thoso schools, which would furnish am- Dlo proparation for those who dosira to tako s Univorsity courso. The osuse of oducation would bo etill moro largely bonofited, ns ilioy would farnieh tho opportunities for a thorough Hterary and scientiSic schooling to thoso who do nobt posscss the means to go to Collegos. For the Bonthorn Btates lio proposes & different application of thoir share of tho monoy, ss bottor suited to their wants, Outside the latgo citles in the Bouth, the facilitios even for olomentary education aro very moagro. Prosidont McCosh proposes that one-half of their share of tho monoy shall go to~ ward aiding tho establisbment of common schiools, and tho other half bo devoted, as in the North, to the highor achools. The plan which Prosident McCosh proposes will devoto the pub- lic land-grants for educational purposes to the highost and the lowest branchos. No intelligent man can fait to recognize ita superiority over the Agricultural Collogo systom. The best way, howover, to disposo of the publio landa is to givo them to actual settlors under the Homestead law. CONSUMPTION OF FOOD SINCE 1840, In 1840, according to tho consus, wo produced 84,823,272 bushels of whont, nod 615,625,803 bushels of all coreals, Treasury roports show that wo fmportod 593 bushols of wheat and 2,046 bushela of all coreals, and exported 1,720,860 bushels of wheat, 1,897,501 barrels of flour, and 18,199,049 bushels of all corcals. Thero remain- ed and wore consumod 73,014,907 bushels of wheat, or 481-100 buebels per capita, and 602, 926,320 busbels of all corcals, or 35 21-100 bushols per capita. From similsr data; it ap- pears that m 1850 we consumed of wheat 91,201,311 bushols, or 8.3 per capifa, and of all coroals, 858,368,475 bushels, or 86.8 bushels per capita. Agaln, in 1860, we consumod 165,801,091 bushels of whent, or 4 95-100 per capila, and of nll corerls, 1,316,171,091, or 88 68-100 bushela per capita. Thus it appears that thore was a large increase in tho consumption of wheat and coreals during tho two decados proceding the War. During tho last especially—the decade of unbroken low duties—this increaso was over one bushol of whoat to oach inhabitant, and nearly two bush- ols of all coreals. Bo largon part of the con- sumption of.coreals othor than wheat is in the making of animal food that, in the absonco of datn a8 to tho numbor of animnls f0 consumod, it is fair to infer that the ontiro consumption of food from our own furms and cattle-yards was at each poriod proportioned to the quantity of coreals consumed. Tho incronse during tho two docades from 1840 to 1860, and espeoially during tho last, corresponds with tho remark- able improvement which we know occurred in the. condition of tho laboring classes in this country during that t{mo. In 1870, tho quantity of wheat produced waa 235,884,700 bushols, of which 181,478,015 . wora consumed, or only 4.60 bushels per capifa. Agaln, in 1871, only 4.74 bushels per capila wero consumed. In theso years the quantity was loss than it had boen in 1860, Asit s posaible, howevor, that a surplus may have romained from the enormouns crop of 1860—of which, soparately considered, the npparent consump- tion waa 0.05 bushels per capila—it will be more fair to tako tho avorage of tho threo yoars ay tho consumption of each, namely, 5.13 bushels per capita, DBub this shows su increaso of only 18100 of =& bushel sinco 1860,~—a rosult not vory satisfactory whon come pared with the galn of more than ono bushel during tho procoding decado of unprotected labor. It may, howover, be prosumod that the uso of somo other grain in place of wheat bad incronsoed, or that animal food had beon substi tuted for vogotable. Dut it doea not so apponr, On jho nontrary, tho ontire consumption of all coreals was 1,850,811,532 bushels in 1809, 1,604, 821,809 buehola in 1870, and 1,461,231,395 bushels in 1871, and tho average per capita for tho throo yonrs was only 8670 bushela por capita,—less, by noarly two bushels to each porson, than it was in 1860, Noithor can it bo supposed that pota~ toos wero substituted, for of that vegetable we consumod 4,8 bushala in 1860, sndonly 8.4 bushols er capila for the three years 1860-71, Of corcals and potatocs wo consumed jn 1860 4834 bushols to ench porson, and in 1869-71 ouly 401-5 bushiols. It may be sdded that tho consumption of butter decrengad from 1434 thy to 183¢ Ibe pey capita durlng tho ssmo poriod. Whoreas tho consumption of food {ncreased 2! Lushols to each person from 1850 to 1860, uuder a systom of tsxatlon dosigned to ald labor only by ro- moving its burdens, it decreased about 83 bushels to pach person from 1840 to 1870, undor » systom oalled protective. 'Tho conclusion ‘eoms unayoidable that tho condition of thels thorefore, to divido sl the publio Javds | Wning clyss, which sustajns thoe groat msjority of consumors, has not boen improved, but, on tho contrary, hina so dotorioratod during tholnst docado that, for the first timo in tho history of this young, fortilo, and proaporous country, the consumption of food has actually beou reducad, Yot ono clas of Inborors, and that a Jarge one, has boon emancipated from slavery during this poriod, Four millions of consumors, formorly supplied by mastors whose profits deponded up- on economy In tho subsistonce of their labor, havo been sot to caro for themselves without hiabits of economy, or oxporionco in tho need of it." Tho wagos now carncd by thom would sup- ply far moro than their formor consnmption, and it Is tho universal testimony that they aro not yet thrifty, asas olass, but wastoful, and prono to indulge their desires and appotites, na would bo natural to a people 8o long onalaved and 80 recontly enfranchised, Anothor fact rondors this reduction of con- sumption stll moro strange. Tho sggregate wealth of tho country hna greatly incronsed,—so groatly that, evon whon tho flotitious over- statoment resulting from a fletitious currenoy is roduced to gold vrlues, thoro romaina for overy man, woman, and child in the conntry 600 in gold against $451 in 1800 (slavos not counted a8 proporty). It this increasod woalth had boen oqually distributed, sn cnormous inorose of consumption must have rosulted. Even if it bad been distributed in tho samo proportion as the woalth of the country in 1860, it is plain that tho consumption of food must have generally advanced in consoquonce of tho greator ability of tho great majority of consumors for satisfy-- ing their desires. That tho consumption of food has not incronsed, oven though four millions of formor slaves havo been liberated, and seven thousand millions added to the woalth of tho country, only proves that since 1800 wo have boen piling up wealth for tho fow, without improvirg the condition of the many, Itproves that tho groat majority of consumers Linvo boon growing poorer, loss able to satisfy evon tho simplost wants. Norwill it escape notico thiat this has ocenrrod in & country bloased with choap land, chesp food, and for iustitutions which stimulate enterpriso and industry to tho utmost. Surely, every candid obsorvor will ad- mit, tho distribution of wealth must bavo beon affected by somo srtificial influcnce in a mostre- markablo manper, if, notwithstanding the wonlth of tho woalthy hiaa so vastly incroased, and four millions of persons have also been libe eratod from servitudo, tho quantity of food con- sumed por capita hns decreased, = The notorious " Fathor Ignatius™ has got himself into trouble in England. Some wooka 2go, ho foll in with a boy about 17 years of age, tho son of & London morchant named Todd, who bad got an idon in his hend that ho should like tobo amonk, ** Father Ignatius™ helpod tho boy to run away from home, and took him to bis monastory in Wales. The boy thon wrote to hia father tolling him what ho had done, wheroupon tho father sought to obtain an interview with bis 8on, but was provented by * Fathor Ignatius.” The fathor then bought £100 in con- sols and invosted thom in his eon's name in the Court of Chancery, thua making his son the ward of the Court, nnd thon prayed tho Courtto look after tho inter- osta of ita ward, which it proceoded to doins vory summary manner. The Vice-Chancellor issued an ordor directing “ Fathor Ignatiua ) to produce tho boy, which he avoided for several days. The Court at lnst sent officers to the monastery, who took both ‘¢ Fathor Ignatius " and the boy into court, whera the boy was given to his fatber. Tho Court thon administored o Bovoro reproof to the pscudo monk, closing it with the information that if this offonso was ever ropealed, in fho cmse of tho boy Todd or any other boy, * Father Ignatius ™ would find himeelf in one of tho prisons of the Qourt. * Father Ignatius,” whoso real namo is Mr, Lyne, was, it will bo romembered, & deacon of tho English Church, who sct himself up in the monastic business, and was thoroupon cast off by hig own Church and has never been rec- ognized by any other.

The August shower of metcors was nots brilliant success, a8 soon from Chicago; princi- pally for want of & clear sky. Buta goodly number must bhove beon visible from the suburban towns, as fully twonty wero seen in the space of ons hour on Sunday evoning from amid thosmoko of the city. As usual with tho August metoors, thoy radiated from s point in the con- “stollatlon Porsous, not far from tho wonderful varisble star called Algol, or tho demon star. There was, however, a notoworthy oxception to tho goneral milo.

Tho probability Is, therefore, that our earth has virtually destroyed the idontity of the moteor, though unsble to appropriato its matter to hos- solf ; and that the hitherto wanderer will, o fow days hence, fall into the contral body of our systom, gencrating hent by the concussion, which will in 6omo moans componaate for the gradual wasto of sun energy in lightingand wauming tho bodios that circle around him, NOTES AND OPINION, The Maine Domocratic Convention fa to be held in Portland, to-day.
