" The shipbuilding interest of Maine reports an extraordinary revival <>l" activity, exceeding anything known in ten years past.

A Vienna journal, in speaking of the movement for w email's emancipation in America, calls attention to the fact that in \nsiria women have certain legal rights undreamed of by Americans. They can refuse to accompany their husbands to any local it \ which end:,n- im s theii Iii ?? ? y. life, or health and. "unless married to military men. can refuse to bepnrlics to perpetual peregrinations, and to settling in foreign eoiint'ies."

Seven men were indicted by the grand jury for the murder of old man J. P. lUi>tin and his son, Virgil Kustin. Burrell Phillips was convicted on the tirst day's trial and <?eorge Phillips on the second. Both got a life sentence.

The two juries remained out until morning, when they returned verdietsof guilty. The jury before whieli the Baileys were tried recommended Florence Bailey to mercy, and Isnne Gardner received a similur recommendation. The cast's against Henry Phillips and Zemius Cleveland were nol prossed, not eaough evidence to convict having been secured against them. It is believed that other arrests will be made ut an early date, and that other trials will occur at the April term of Miller superior court. Judge Sheffield has passed sent- nee on all the convicted murderers, but the case of Isaac Gardner has been appealed by his attorney to the supreme court. SOI THKRN 1'KOtiUF.SS.

In \\ ;i^liiiijc'on In a l*rt* *itrloiift Position I ;i 11\ It is lio secret now that the authorities in Washington were preparing to arrest Aguinablo just as he tied, but probably they are not sorry that he got off safely and thus relieved them from the performance of a disagreeable task. The eoiidiiet of the remaining members of the Filipino junta is still under close watch, and while treatment to lie accorded them lias not been de termined, it is recognized that they art- in a precarious position legally, and can secure immunity only by the exercise of the greatest discretion. The junta is in a state of hewihlernient. Senor Agoueillo, its hea<l, lied so hurriedly that he failed to leave instruetions for the balance of the junta, and they accordingly are dependent upon word from him, as well as hampered by the serious illness of one of their number. Their counsel, Messrs. Ralston & Siddoiis, withdrew from any relations with then., and they are accordingly now without advisers in a strange country. TKl.il, OF (JI AY I'OSTI'O.NI'.lt.

Heard an expansionist say yesterday that the Anglo-Saxon race must rule the world because it was manifest destiny. Who are the Anglo-Saxons, or l the English-speaking race, as they are I now called? My rending tells me that there is no such race. There once was, but it has been lost by emigration and i ^ immigration and amalgamation. It j came originally from north (ierniany when the Saxons conquered England, j and is more Teutonic than- English. It j has not preserved its blood nor its; language, as many other nations have j done. The Ibtssians snd Prussians ; and French and Scotch and Irish ami .Tews are today more readily distinguished than the Anglo-Saxon. : ( Their purity as a race is gone, ! especially in these United States, ' where the blood of our forefathers has ; , been crossed and reerossed until north t of the line not one man in ten can h> j eate his paternal aud maternal ances- ) I try.

I nm 1 disgusted and am reminded of that scripture which snitli. "The zeal of mine house hath eaten me up," and , of what I'aul said, "They have a zeal , of God, hut not according to knowledge." The Lord does not favor an unjust , war. He may let it go on. just as He hardened the heart of Pharaoh that the plagues might come to punish him, hut it is blasphemy to say that the Lord is behind this criminal ag- i gression. Might as well >av He was i behind Napoleon in making widows , and orphans of a million of people. I toll you, my brethren, if the scriptures be true there is an evil spirit called Satan, and he is still going to and fro upon the earth and walking up and down in it. Por reasons, we know not, he was not destroyed when lie fell ami is still permitted to tempt mankind from allegiance to the Creator. This is not only taught in the scriptures, but tin* greatest of the I heathen philosophers, such as Cyrus i the Great and Socrates, use the same language as did Paul, when he said, " Evil is present with me. That I would not do that do 1." Cvrns said I am ever conscious of the existence of two spirits w ithin me - one inclining me to evil and the other to good. Satan is a spiritual being of great power and assurance or the Lord would not have held con verse with him at Job's feast, nor would i Michael the archangel had a contention | with him about the body of Muses; j nor would 111?* Savior Im-pii I<><I away to the top of a inoiiiitniii l?y him ami listfinal to bis persuasions.

Courage without patriotic emotions or any other emotions except to kill somebody. That is the reason why I have 110 high regard for the soldier's profession. The chief end and aim of a profes- j pional soldier is to light and ho pro- j muted. I don't allude to privates, for ( they are hirelings. Neither do I allude to such noble men as Lee and Long- | street and the two Johnstons and ] Wheeler, hut with a very few excep- ! lions the otlicers of the late war were 1 vain, selfish and corrupt. The cotin- 1 try has 110 respect for them. Let them ipiarrel. No doubt they are all telling the truth 011 each other. The j first commandment says: "The sins of the father shall he visited upon his | children," hut it nowliero says: "I will visit th?? sins of the otlicers upon 1 the men." Of course, there are some honorable men among the privates and 1 have talked with some of them 1 since their return from Cuba, and they ' al! lament tin- moral dei.ravitv of the > majority of the white soldiers ami tho ; total depravity of all tlio negroes. The | tendency of war is todemoralize. Mcti 1 will rob ami plunder ami commit ' nameless crimes who never ?1 i?l it at : liotno; of mercenaries who tight for pay, plunder is part of it, ami it wimls up with a pension. Mut enough of this. Tt reads pessimistic, and so do the speeches of t Hoar and our senators and the writ- i ings of Bryan and Carnegie and Atkinson. The hope of the country now is that new party lines will he formed, j and any further war will he averted. . There are a few honest statesmen left I who have not bowed the knee to Baal. | What a sad spectacle it is to see tho son of General Grant openly buying 11 seat in the senate with $20,000.

But 1 forebear. 1 must walk out in tho garden and get the ground ready for peas. Politics is depressing ami so is war and the rumors of war.
