Wailing for lha pteaaant rambles,
Whara tha pleasant hawthorn bramble,

Wailing fur Ilia May.
Ah ! my heart k tick with longing,
Longing for the May
Longing to escape from tuly,
To tl e young faoa fair and ruddy,

To ilia summer dayj

Mil. Editor: Tho nomination of Mr,
Logan whs not declared unanimous by the
Republican convention, 81 per Statement of
the minutes published. My vote to the
contrary was perhaps mistaken for the ' no'
of iome ' outsider ns I was iu the bank
part of the room. I correct the error for
the reason which appear: 1st. If votes
re good for anything, they should be cor-
rcctly counted, whether given judiciously or
n 9,1 kt i, I
not. zu. At tunes, nominatioiiN are, no
doubt, declared unanimous In consequence
pt the reluctant silence of some, and the
hearty approbation of others, who vote
with a view to olicy and personal advance
ment by the same means. Believing this
to be so, I will the more promptly vote my
sentiments on such occasions. I voted
gniiiRt Mr. Logan's nomination becauso I
thought his Republicanism doubtful, and his
acceptance of the platform dictated by the
prosjKJct of office. Under these impress
ions I also decided to vote against him at
' the coming election, or stay at home, where
my vote would not stand recorded against
, my tense of duty. If any one thinks such
a thought treasonable to Republicanism,
the answer is, I owe nothing to the Re-
publican party; the party owes nothing to
me We all owe service to the rnnntrv
me. e an owe sirwee to me couniry.

whether I havo my choice or not. Rut I
differ slightly from a friend who said to
some of the delegates ou the 20th, ' What-
ever you fellows do to-morrow, I will agree
to.' Such a pledge is rather know-nothing
; in its character, becauso given to support
platform and candidate about which he
v
could have said ' I know nothing, except by
inference.'
3d. Mr. Coffin of Portland and Dr.
McBride inform me that Mr. Logan is a
titan of decided political character that
he is too much of a man to deceive connnu-
nity by taking a false position for the sake
of office. Others, personally acquainted
with him, say as much. As I now have
before me a Mr. Logan more nearly allied
to the lofty character of Logan the Mingo
Chief, who would not turn upon his heel to
save his life, it becomes my duty to support
liira to make
bim strong, and ' Stout'
weak.

Spkcific for Removing tiieTape Worm.
The Roston Journal says: We have been
requested to publish tho following specific
for eradicating the tape worm, which is one
of the worst ills that the human system is
subjected to. The names, residences, te.,
of a numbar of persons who have been cured
by its use have been communicated to us,
together with the peculiar circumstances of
each case, but we do not deem it essential
to publish them. There can be no reason
able doubt, with the evidence before us,
that the remedy has proved efficacious in
many cases, not only Iu this, but other coun
tries. The recipe was published in the Bos-
ton Medical and Surgical Jonrnal when

Tro-Slaveby Progress. Tho Albany
Journal thus gives the essence of the politi
cal advance of slavery iu this country:
"Seventy years ago the Democrats
drew a line around the States, and said to
the slavctrader, 'Thus far you may go, but
no farther.' This was the JefTersouian
Proviso. Thirty years ago they rubbed
out part of the line and said to him, ' You
may go into lands south, but not into lands
north.' This was the Missouri Compro
mise. Five years ago, they rubbed out the
rest of the line, and said to him, " We will
leave it to the settlers to decide whether you
shall come in or not.' This was the Ne
braska Rill. Now they turn humbly to
him, hat in hand, and say, ' Go where you
plea.se; the land is all yours; the notional
flag shall protect you, and the national
troops shoot down whoever resists you.'
This is the Dred Scott Decision."

Hoops. Every now and then we notice
a paragraph going the rounds of the press,
announcing on the authority of some pud
ding-headed corrcsjwudent, who avers that
he gets his information from the best and
most authentic sourco, that Eugenie, the
Empress of the French, and consequently
the head and front of tho fushionublo world,
from whose prolific and Ingenious brain
emanate the edicts by which woman Is gov
erned, has officially and formally discarded
the wearing of hoops, and that as a natural
result, the kingdom of crinoline is about to
collapse. Now, we do not propose to
discuss tho right of the piquant Eugenio to
issue her mandate, commanding women to
abolish the habit which she herself has ap
propriated the glory of originating, If she
desires its disappearance, but we do ques
tion very much whether she would venture
her reputation for good taste In the experi
ment. And it is doubtful, too, whether our
fair countrywomen would not exercise
their national privilege of disputing the au
thority, and rebel against the proceeding,
and it is doubtful whether the redoubtable
consort of the Empress, backed by his half
million of gen d armei could reduce the re
volted divinities to their primitive skeleton
dimensions. If Eugenie has done anything
so rash she will be met at the threshold
with a whoop of defiance. Crinoline
fairly established. It is one of the few
really commendable fashions with which
the presiding goddess can be accused. That
neatness and rotundity of figure, so pleas
ing to the eye and so univcrsully popular
withal to say nothing of the convenience,
under numerous circumstances, which the
institution of criuoline affords cannot be
abolished without shocking the feelings of
every man and woman of taste in the civil
ized world. The result of such an order
from headquarters, so momcutous in its con
sequences, and so dubious in its results, can
not be anticipated without a shudder. We
hope those gentlemen who write from Paris
will say no more about the abomination of
hoops. Crinoline, like truth and cheese, is
mighty and will prevail. In the words of
a distingnished Western orator, in clipping
the wings of the everlasting ' 'Merican ea
gie,' we must say "Gentlemen, it can't be
did I"
Turkish Female Schools. Quito
progressive step has been taken by the
Sultan of Turkey, lie has ordered a rcor
ganizution of the Turkish schools, and that
provision be made for the education of girls.
The Minister of Public Instruction, some
time back, presented to the Sultan a com
plete system of education for males, in which
were introduced a number of ameliorations
adopted from European establishments,
At prcseut, the Minister's attention has
been directed to tho education of girls, and
he has proposed to extend very considerably
the range of instruction given to females in
Turkey, as a preparatory step towards the
intellectual emancipation of the Mussulman
women. Tho Sultan has given orders to
have the proposed plan carried into execu
tion with as little delay as possible, so that
henceforward Turkish girls will not only
learn all the works executed with tho nee
dle, but reading, writing, arithmetic, gcog'
rnphy, and history. In each of tho 13 sec
tions of the Turkish capital, six primary
schools aro to be established at once; and
at a later period, ono superior establishment
in each section, to complete the education
of the inferior schools.

The total exports of agricultural product
last year from Ohio, the richest agricultural
State in fhe Union, was lesa than twenty-
live dollars Tor each inhabitant, and not
one-third of this, or five dollars for each
person, ever floated on salt water or paid
debt abroad, ami yet we are now importing
at the rate or fifteen dollars lor each person
in the whole country; In rich silks, higli
priced cotton goods, and luxurinot one
sort and another, including iron railt for
our rail roads. We have examined returns
from different parts of the country, and
will admit that there never was as much
land pnt in cultivation, and, with good
weather, there never hare been such crops
as will he raised. Hut never had we as
many idle nonproduccrs, never before did
it take the profit of as many bushels of
wheat to pay lor one yard or high priced
cotton goods, made in Europe from the raw
material raised here. Not for twenty years
have there been, proportionably to our
size and numbers, as few new cotton mills,
iron furnaces, and coal companies, to make
a home market, as in this very year.

ccrs went out to run their respective ma
chines. The rivalry has not been trifling,
but the result is another triumph for Jon
athan. The English engineers, through
their Consul, undertook to flatter their
patrons, and to disparage Yankee work
manship, and tried every method to get rid of
their competitors. At first they were siut
cess ful.
The Americans were told by the railroad
company that their engines were not going
to be used, and that their services would
not 1)0 needed. The cause for hauling them
up was that they were not strong enough
to haul the heavy trains. One of the
American engineers, getting an opportunity
to speak with the Pasha, told him he could
haul as many loaded cars as would reach
from one end of the road to the other. Ac
cordingly, seventy-five heavily loaded cars,
which was all they could muster, were put
in a train, the Pasha's own car attached,
and the whole taken through to Suez
distance of two hundred miles in twelve
hours, mnking stoppages for fuel and wuter,

English engine drivers, and now uses Taun

has decided that Indiana divorces, in which
the wife had no opportunity to be heard,
are not to be regarded as legal in other
States. The court in Indiana never had
jurisdiction of the wife in New York, and
its proceedings in regard to her were deem
ed to be void. We think this ia quite right,

shameful proceedings constantly taking

NHWTON AND Till Fa I.LI NO OfTIIC AfPLI,
Uiot, the French scientific writer, In bit
Melange, lately published In Paris, gives
countenance to this story, which Ilrewster
rejects. A writer in Blackwood, for De
cember, reviewing Ciot, thus notices tot
evidence:
" Except as biographical anecdote, it
b utterly indifferent whether the story ba
true or mythical; for it ia quite clear that
the full of ten thousand apples could have
led to no tliscoverv of srravitation. unless
observed by a mind already so prepared to
make tho discovery, that any lulling body
would have served as a starting point.
But is it true? Dr. Rrewntcr declared that
the circanwtuiu'c was not mentioned by Dr.
Stukeley nor by Conduit, and that 'no au
thority could be found for it.' Id hit re
view of this work, M. Diot replied that
Pcmbcrton positively suid it was in this
very garden, where tho apple tree stood,
that the idea occurred to Newton, and that
Conduit expressly says tho idea of gravita
tion ' was bit npon by observing an apple
fulling from a tree.' One would Imagine
this was authenticity euough, especially aa
Dr. Brewster claims Conduit's silence
among- his chief reasons for denying the
storv; yet, after Conduit bad been cited by
M. 'Biot expressly iu favor of this story.
Sir David, in his recent biography, sticks to
his incredulity, and furnishes this very equiv
ocal evidence: 'Neither Temlierton nor
Whiston, who received from Newton him
self the history of his first ideas of gravity,
records the story of tho fulling apple.'
Perhnrw not: he miirht hove thought it be
neath hit gravity to mention such a detail.
But his niece told the story, and Conduit
told it. We think, on such testimony, it
may be accepted, and rhetoricians may
still refer without misgiving, if also without
much eloquent effect, to ' Newton and tht
falling applo.' "
"And Yet tne Earth Does Movi!"
or Galileo. Tho same reviewer, discuss
ing Biot's critical account of Galileo's ca
reer, says:
" If the lovers of rhetoric have had their
commonplace about Newton and the appls
restored to them by ii. btot, tney lose ior-
ever the still more fumous t pur u muove
' and vet the earth dors move, of the si
lenced but not persuaded heretic; snd they
lose all pretext for considering Galileo
among the martyrs of science. The epi
cram. pur ti mu"re, is one of those tnoti
de tircomtim, invented after the occasion,
winch tradition eagerly adopts because it so
admirably expresses the general sentiment;
but as M. Biot remarks, not only is this
epigram mentioned by none of the best in
formed contemporaries, it is also in flagrant
coutradiction to tho wliolo demeanor of
Galileo on his trial. Never was a martyr
less disposed for martyrdom. He denied
everything with impatient alacrity. lie
abjured whatever lie was called upon to ao
iure. He offered to prove that he had nev
er held tho doctrino of tho mobility of the
earth, and declared himself ready to show,
by fresh arguments, the error of that doc
trine. In the final examination, when asked
if ho now held, or hud ever bold, the doc
trine, ho replied, ' Formerly, before the de
cision of tho Church, I remained iudifferent
between tho two doctrines of Lopcruicua
and Ptolemy, both seeming disputable, be
cause both might bo true; but since the
Church has decided, all ambiguity has dis
appeared from my mind, and I have main
tained, as I now nmintitin, the doctrine of
Ptolemy respecting tho immobility of tha
earth and tho mobility of the sun to bo true
and indisputable.' We may pity Galileo,
and find ample excuses for him. When a
man oged seventy is in the presence of the
Inquisition, knowing that a Jormal retrac
tion is ull that is demanded or him, and that
his refusal will be punished by torture, he
mny bo excused for descending even to such
transparent falshood to escape so odious aod
tcrriblo an enemy, but ho cannot be made
a hero; a martyr showing uch reluctance
to martyrdom is surely a strange spectacle.
