The reason why tlie Portland
sorehead clique, the chief of which
was Deady, J., were so bitterly op
posed to the confirmation of Will
iams as Chief Justice, is now ex
plained in the fact, that Deady was
a candidate tor the posisli himself!
Nobody ever thought of Deady in
conned ion with the office; but I )eady
is an ambitious boy, parts his hair
in theniiddle,and wasfully prepared
to swa'hnv the plum.
The peace of Europe is again
threatened. The renewal of war
between France and Germany is
only a question Ot tune. 1 he
Church question foreshadows blood.
France long ago took upon herself
the championship of the Pope, and
Germany is making war upon papal
claims. The feeling in Germany is
antagonistic to the authority of the
Cltramontanes, or those who ad
here to and support tiie claims of
the Roman Church proper, while
the foe'ing in France is directly op
t isite to this. Therefore is it that
the French Pishops have issued
many pastoral letters containing
sentiments of extreme hostility to
Germany. Germany complajnt of
this, insisting that France, through
her Pishops, shall not interfere in
the controversy now waging be
tween that Empire and Home, but
attend to her own business. Ger
man papers say that 'if the moral
influence of France shall continue
to be exerted against Germany in
favor ot Pome, the peace, of Europe
will lie compromised.
In Ohio the women have taken

They have organized prayer
meetings in the saloons, on the side

From the correspondent of the
Portland BuHi-thi the astounding
fact reaches us that Hon. M. P.
Deady, Judge, was an aspirant for
the Chief Justiceship. The corres
pondent asserts thai Deady wrote a
letter to a friend in Washington,
enclosing several nice, photographs
of himself, requesting said friend
to present the letter and one of the
photographs to President Grant, in
case Williams was withdrawn or
rejected, with the suggestion that
the writer ol the letter and the sub
ject of the "picter" was the "most '
suitable man in the world to lie
appointed Thief Justice!" And
yet, although Williams' name was
withdrawn and the letter and "pic
ter" of Deady presented to Grant,
poor Deady failed to get a. nom
ination probably a thought of
him in that direction never entered
the President's head. Poor old
Deady! Chopfallen Judge! Cha
grined Deady, J.! This stroke of
genius on the part ot the Judge
ought to have met with some sort
of response. His great talents
legal acumen his excellence at

found a stone tomb containing a skel

about four feet long, and consequently
the body must have been seventeen or
