hettcr look elsewhereMy name is Peppcriilge Lovatt.I t was called Pepperidge after my moth­

er’s father, a wealthy pork-packer, from whom the family had great expectations, my mother being his only daughter and I her only son. The expectations were doomed to disappointment, for grnndfather Pepperidge invested his fortune in a cop­per mine, somewhere in Pennsylvania, and in sinking a shaft sunk his money. My father, Roger I-ovatt. was a bill-broker, irreverently termed by the vulgar note- shavers. l’ersonnally he was known as Centpercent and Allforcollat—names that had reference to the liberal and generous manner in which he transacted his business.I never inquired into their origin. It no matter to me. I always called him

the old m m .”I never went to school with the common

herd. Being born to :i|fnrtnne,it would n o t do. It was not tlie tiling, you know. A private tutor prepared me for college, and to college I went in due time. I forget now nearly all I was taught there. I was put through Latin, philosophy, and things— yes! and Greek, tvitli all kinds of crabbed- looking letters, and mathematics. I went through the last, after a fashion. Arith­metic and Algebra were my specialties, lint in Geometry I was brought up by the Pons Asinorum. However. I was graduated with great honor. The valedictory, which it fell to my lot to deliver, was very much ap­plauded, though my father did think that fifty dollars was too much to ] ay tlie half- starved fellow who wrote it. 'That was a little trick of mine though, for I hived forty out of tlie money, I am now sorry to say.

After I was graduated I had no difficulty about choosing a profession. My friends, taking the beautiful language of nty vale­dictory into consideration, suggested tile law as the sphere in which my talents would have the best chance of development. As it was a matter of indifference to me, I ac­cepted theehoicc. I read law afterthe usu­al fashion; that is to say, I got by heart certain passages in Blackstone and Starkle and Chitty, so as to be able to answer prob­able questions, and in due time I was called to the bar. I forthwith hired me a hand­some office, put out a tin sign with the words—“ Pepperidge Lovatt, Counselor at Law,” and diligently smoked a cigar in nty nicely-furnished rooms for one hour a day. Having thus attended to business. I put up a little notice on tlie door—" At Court, Cali, to-morrow at ten o’clock,” and sauntered np Broadway. At night 1 went to the opera, or lounged at the club, or led the German at parties, and led it well. I despise boasting of mv own talents; but I may properly say that I was the best dancer in our set. There was not a member of tlie bar tliat could equal me. Even Grind, of the firm of Grind & Cheathamwell, they said lie was at the head of the profession, hut I saw him try to polk once at Saratoga and I was quite sure that Grind’s abilities had been overrated by his friends.

J . H. H . HEW ETT, Thomaston, Me.April 22,1879. 21

I had practiced law vigorously, after the fashion I have described, for about two years and a half, when three very import ant things occurred. I was sauntering alon Broadway one day, and amidst tlie press of passers, my coat button got entangled in the fringe of a lady’s mantle. It was a very awkward situation for Loth of us. I tu; ged at the fringe, nty face burning all tlie while, and the lady seeming tu he vexed It came loose at length, and the owner of tlie mantle turned away with a swing of her body indicating annoyance, when swisli! the fringe caught another button This time I langbed, and tile lady tittered The fringe w as disengnged and I raised my hat to bow my regret, thus getting full view of the fair stranger’s fact. I t was certainly pretty, but Iliad seen pretty faces before, without feeling any thumping be neatli my waiscoat. With this, however,’ was fascinated. There are some figures and faces that attract yon by their home look. They seem to tell of domestic enjoy­ment; they suggest a quiet cup of tea, hot toast, and your slippered feet buried in the hearth-rug. But it came and went. The lady went one way and I the other. I saw her no more, hut I thought of her frequently.

The other incidents were serious. One was the death of my father, who had been a widower for twelve years; the other was the failure of Bullwinkle, Badger and Bull- winkle. The events were disastrous, es­pecially the Bullw'nkle business. For my respected parent had not only embarked a hundred thousand in tlie same spccnlation which floored the three B.’s, hut his name was on the paper of the fine for nearly as much more; the assets of the bankrupts, after tlie legal expenses were paid, amount­ed to just no cents on the dollar.

Thus I was left, without a father to sup­port me, no rich uncle to apply to, alto­gether a penniless fellow, knowing little of my profession, and no chance lor clients bad 1 even been a profound lawyer. What to do I could not tell, though I smoked over the matter diligently for three days. At last I concluded to let matters go ns they would, for I supposed something would

costed me.•• What can we do for you ? ” lie asked.“ I don’t know,” I said. “ Thai is pre­

cisely what I want to find out.”Tlie stout man stared at me. I went on :“ I am six feet, lacking a half inch, in

my stockings, and, ns you see, hroadsliould- cred,” I said. " I have been brought up a

entleman, and have not a cent. I have had nothing to eat since yesterday at noon.No ! you need not do that?’ I added, as I saw him make a movement to his vest pock­et. “ Begging is out of my line. I want work, if you have any?’• Well?’ he replied, “ I expect a vacancy in my second clerk’s place shortly, but—.”

“ I know nothing about book-keeping,” I interrupted.

“ My porter goes away to-day—ho is about to setup a retail store; hut as you are a gentleman—”

“ I ’ll take that,” I said, “ if you’ll take me without any recommendation hut my muscle.”

lie laughed. “ You are about the oddest customer,” said lie, " that I have come across recently; hut I think I ’ll try you, if you’re not above making yourself useful, and content yourself with nine dollars a week?’

“ Nine dollars a week !” 1 exclaimed.It is a gold mine ! Wltat am I to go at

first ? ”“ Tlie first tiling is to get your breakfast,

and tile next to rig yourself out in a pair of overalls and a blue frock. The breakfast you can get nt Fulton Market; the other things at tile slop-shop around the corner. When you come hack there are thirty hags of col- fee to he delivered to an order, and tlie carman will he here in an hour. I’ll ad­vance you three dollars on your week's wages. Here! ”

•• Very good,” said I, taking (lie money; “ I ’ll be hack in half an hour. Your new porter's name is Lovatt.”

Off I went. I had a royal breakfast!— beefsteaks, coffee, bread and butter—to say nothing of a pickle; and having dispatched them, 1 turned to and had them over again. After that I bought my blue shirt and over­alls, put them on, and went back to tlie lore-house witli my coat on my arm, look-

at the proprietor's name on tlie door­post as I entered.

Here I am, Mr. Banks,” I said: and Mr. Banks sent me to tlie head clerk, who told me what to do at the moment, and I did it.

I found a cheap hoarding-house at a con­venient distance irom the store, and work- my way along faithfully and manfully. I grew to like the work. I ate heartily and slept soundly. Only once I felt a tremor.I was one day rolling some barrels from a car into tlie store-house, when I saw a for nier fashionable acquaintance picking his way along the sidewalk. What had brought him to that quarter I did not know, hut 1 reddened when I saw him. He did not see me, however; and would not prob­ably have recognized me if he had.

My employer paid no farther attention to me alter tlie first day. One day, how­ever, about three months after I took tlie place, tlie chief clerk called to m e:

“ Lovatt,” he said, “ come here. I no­tice that you calculate very well and write a good hand. Mr. Greene (that was the name of our new second clerk) is sick abed to-day. Couldn’t you help me with this lot of invoices? ”

“ I ’ll try, if you will show me what you want? ”

He explained, and I went at the the task.I have already said that I was apt at fig­ures, and I got through quite rapidly; and, leaving the result on tho desk, went hack to tnyj bags and barrels. Presently Mr. Banks came in and went into tho count­ing-room. lie had been there only about a quarter of an hour when he called me to him.

Sit down ” lie said, when I entered. Mr. Lipscome tells me that you gave him material help to-day. As Greene is too sick to come here at present, suppose you take his place in the counting-room till he recovers.”

“ Very good,” I replied; and removing my overalls, I perched myself at the desk.

The result was that poor Greene never recovered, and I retained his situtation. It was only twelve dollars a week, hut it was a step.

Throe weeks afterward another pair of incidents occurred. I was at the desk, ar­ranging papers ami copying into the in­voice-hook, when Mr. Batiks came in.

“ Lovatt,” said lie, “ I heard mention of you last night. An acquaintance of ours— a Mr. Van Gelt—spoke of a young Lovatt, a lawyer, who has left the profession and gone no one knows whither—turned out a mere vagabond. From tlie description' of personal appearance I had an idea he meant you; hut as it might have an­noyed you, I did not mention that you were in my employ?’

Thank yon,” I answered. “ Van Gelt oh, yes: 7 remember a John Van Gelt, to whorr n my better days. I loaned five bur -d dollars. I took Ills note for it: hut as lie has no money, I suppose I might as well have that much waste paper. Com­mon gratitude might have taught him common decency when lie spoke of me.”

“ Have you tlie note?”“ Yes—somewhere'”“ Ixiok it up, then. He has money now;

his uncle died recently and left him com­fortable. Give rite the note, and I ’ll see that he pays it. And by-the-hy, I have left a package of papers at home on the li­brary table. I wish you’d take tho cars and go up to my house with this note. Mrs. Banks will hand you the papers.”

I followed orders, and was soon at Banks’s house—a handsome mansion on one of the fashionable streets. I sent up the note to Mrs. Banks, and was shown into the par­lor. ■: ....

I had not been seated more than two or three minutes before I heard a light step, and, rissng, turned toward the door. There stood my young ladyof.tlie fringed mantle. Thu recognition was mutual. She blushed and looked embarrassed, and I felt my face glow. She was the first to recover, and handing me the package, said:

ties, I deposited the sum in hank, waitin for a chance to invest it properly, and went on with my usual business. But I found myself frequently making calculations on hits of loose paper, of divers speculations in which I might double my little fortune, and keep doubling it until, in geometrical progression, it liecnme a colossal fortune, wherwith in fancy I built me a fine mansion in town, alid bought me a noble country- seat, and got married to Bora Banks!— Dora!—what a nice name it was, to bo

wait a few hours, nnd if tlie weather keeps good we’ll stop at my poultry-yard.”

That afternoon I had an explanation of his speech, for we came in sight of a small island a few miles front the coast, and made for it. As we approached I saw it to be a nearly barren rock, about a mile in length, mostly white, witlt a few green patches, and rising about fifty feet in the centre from tlie surface of the water. But wltat struck me was tile number of seabirds upon it, scattered on its surface or rising in clouds. A boat was lowered, and I went with tho parly. We had no difficulty in effecting a landing; and while the rest were

California', and tlie distant Occident—that all may know of its well deserving of tlie public’s patronage. Quite in place will it be hero to say, that, that much traveled, ob­servant and skillful officer of the United States Army, Major-General Irvin McDow­ell, in passing over it tlie other day, on his way to San Francisco, was pleased to say of it: “ it is the finest road I ever travel­ed on, either in Europe or America.”

The road lias additional praises to those of its excellence of construction, natural location, and perfect equipment, the esprit du corps of its employes lends a charm in their care attention and gentlemanly deport-

Unfortunately, however, nothing turned up by which I might double my money, until one day I added five-fold to it, hut not through a speculation. The compli­cated affairs of Bullwinkle, Badger & Bull- winkle were at length wound up, a small dividend was paid to their creditors, and after taking out letters of adminstration to my father’s estate. 1 found myself possess­or of a stun which made my five hundred and eighty odd dollars nearly three thous­and.

Then I huilded bigger air-castles than ever, with Dora for mistress of each. And yet I raraly saw her—occasionally at tlie house, once in tlie street, and once for a whole afternoon, on her father’s birthday, when Mr. Lipscomhe and myself were in­vited to dine with our principal. On that occasion I had danced witli Dora and talk­ed witli her, though tlie conversation must liavo been very silly on my part, for 1 was in that state of ecstatic confusion that my tongue refused to perform its ordinary of­fice.

1 was destiued to a separation from Do­ra, however. Nearly a year after I was first taken into Mr. Banks’s employ, I was seated alone in tile counting-room, Mr. Liscomhe having gone out to lunch, when our principal came in.

“ Mr. Lovatt,” lie said, “ what have von tone witli tlie money you obtained from

your father’s estate?”“ Nothing. It is in the savings-fund

drawing live per cent. I thought it tlie safest on tlie whole.”

“ The reason 1 asked is because you will need it. 1 am going to displace you.”

I looked at him in some alarm, and stam­mered out a reply—I forgot what.

“ I have advices from Rio that it will be a more than safe speculation to send some Richmond flour there. It will about.arrive at tlie l ight time. 1 want the matter man­aged adroitly, and you are tlie man for it,1 think. Will you go out as supercargo?”

I was relieved at once, and answered promptly in the affirmative.

“ I am going to give you a chance to make something for yourself. Draw out your money and invest it in this venture.”

“ Thank you, sir. I should be very hap­py to do so, but unfortunately I have to give a month’s notice.”

" Never mind. Transfer the account to me, and I will draw it while you are away and advance the amount to you now. The vessel will sail on day after to morrow. Dine with me to-morrow afternoon. You can leave to arrange your outfit until Lipscomhe comes. I will have your place supplied for you until yonr return. To-morrow morning I will put you in full possession of my views.”

My preparations were soon made. The following day I dined at the Bank’s. There was no one present but tlie family. After dinner I was invited to spond tlie evening there, and ns Mr. and Airs. Banks had a short visit to make. Dora was left to en­tertain me until their return.

Now, if there was anything in this world I would have given ten years of my life for it was for a tete-a-tete with Dora Banks. Without any sacrifice it was mine; and yet now that I had it, what could I say? I felt that to make love to her—I being a com­paratively poor clerk—would be, under the circumstances, a piece of gross ingrati­tude and a breach of confidence.

Yet what could I talk about? Wo sat there, for some minutes after the elder peo­ple had departed, in embarrassed silence. Dora was evidently waiting for me to say something, and that added to my embarrass­ment. At length she took the initiative.

“ Your departure is a rather sudden de­termination. is it not, Mr. Lovatt?”

" Rather so. Miss Dora—I beg pardon, Miss Ranks, I mean.”

A Ion* pause, varied slightly by the very loud ticking of the ortnulu clock on the mantel, accompanied by a terrible thump­ing under my waistcoat.

“ There is not apt to be yellow fever at Rio nt the season you arrive, Mr. Lovatt?”

“ Oil no, not at all.”Tlie young lady gavo a long breath, as

though relieved. Another nause ensued.“ Have you been to the opera much this

spring, Mr. Lovatt?”“ No, Miss Ranks—hnt once. My duties

arc so laborious—so—that is—”Another pause, of great length. I began

to feel confused. I felt my face redden. I stole a glance at tile lady. By Jove! she was blushing to the very roots of her hair. Just then our eyes met.

Ten minutes after tlie conversation was quite lively.

“ I thought of you sometimes too,” quoth tho lady. “ I recognized you the moment that you camo into the house.”

“ I had never forgotten you; and knew yon on the moment,” quoth the'gentlenian.

Now the more violently bodies, charged witli electricity, are attracted to eacli otller tlie more violently they are repelled. Tlie attraction between Dora and myself must have been very strong in the first instance, for at tlie sound of Mr. Banks’s latch-key in the door the two bodies tlew hastily to tho extremities of the apartment, and when the merchant and his wife entered tlie par- lor, Pepperidge Lovatt was glancing over somo kniekknacks on a pier-table between the front Windows, and Dora Banks was turning over tlie pages of a music book at the piano near tlie otller end of the room.

After an hour’s general conversation I hid the ladies farewell—tho vessel leaving early next morning. They accompanied me to tile door, and somehow or other we got mixed up, and I felt the gentle pressure of Dora’s] fingers in return for a squeeze that must have nearly disabled her hand

Healthy Apple Trees iu Cold- Cli­mates.

To treat the subject fully in all its hear­ings would require space much beyonil tho limits of one short article. We know there is much difference in tho capacity of va­rieties to endure severe weather, yet under some circumstances, a tree of a tender variety may perish. We have seen sound trees of the Baldwin in the same orchard where hardy varieties h a il apparently been winterkilled. The Baldwins had the ad­vantage. In one case the writer hits in mind, the Baldwin trees in an orchard were nearly all killed, while, in another orchard less than a half a mile away with nearly the same elevation, the Baldwin trees were uninjured. The soil of the first was black loam, and relatveiy a little elevated.

To prepare trees to endure severe weath­er, the writer would prefer to set witlt pains in well prepared soil, trees one or two veats obi of some variety known to be quite hardy, then insert several buds or grafts of stteit varieties as are desired in the tops of the young trees. Set the trees leaning towards the prevailing wind. Start the tops very near tlie gronnd. Encourage a leader in the centre of the tree. Tldn tile top moderately all around the outside, no more in tile centre than on tlie sides. Never cut off a limb much if any ovet an inch in diameter, and avoid cutting any limbs from a large limb. Rub off tlie young klioots if they are desired. Each tree should have plenty of room; in large varieties when twenty years old or more, as much as forty by forty feet.

The rough bark should not he scraped from the trunk or large limbs, as it affords some protection. Bark lice and other in­sects should, of course, be diiligently kept off. The cultivation should be varied ac­cording to the nature of the soil and cli­mate, so that the trees shall start off well in the spring and stop growing early enough to mature the young wood and bnds. This growth can he controlled, in most cases, by tiilin" the soil more or less by using or witliolding fertilizers. Tlie growth should be moderate, not rank nor stunted.

While the trees are young, tlie surface of the ground should be heavily mulched for four feet each way from the tree by some coarse, porous material, or hy mellow soil kept so hy frequent cultivation. " Hoed crops ” may be raised among the young trees, but “ sowed crops,” never.

In no case must a tree be allowed to over­bear, especially when young. The best soil for apples is not black loam-or.prairie. Most clay loams—good strong wheat lands are excellent for apples, provided always they are artificially drained.

Gravelly soil which prodnees goo is also usually good for apple tree i reason is this, it is very apt to be n well drained, and very few farmi s will take the pains to till land for ar. apple orchard.

Tiiis importance of thorough drain ._ for healthy trees in a cold climate needs to be emphasized. It is often tile keynote to success and the one often neglected

Another point of scarcely less import­ance is elevation or nearness to some large, deep body of water. It is important that the land be relatively higli when compared witli otller land in the neighborhood. A difference of 150 feet in elevation lias been known to show witiiin one mile, in a stiff cold night, a difference of seventeen de­grees.features of their inode of life and their belief. - — , - , . ,

The November A tla n tic has several important I articles. Perhaps the one which will attract most attention among thoughtful people is “ The Pros­pect of a Moral Interregnum,” by Goldwin Smith, who predicts a period of laxity and license in consequence of the alienation between religion and the scientific thought of the time. Col. Geo. E. Waring, Jr., writes a curiously interesting account of “ Tlie Waldenscs of To-Day.” A skillful writer, whose name is withheld, discusses with great force and interest “ Our Military Past and Future.” The author of “ Massy Sprague’s Daughter” contributes “ Sister Mary’s Story,”, which is really one of the best maga'zinc stories recently printed. Jennie Young writes of “ The Ceramic Art in America;” “ Irene the Mission­a ry ” is concluded. “ Englishwomen in Recent Literature,” “ Mysterious Disappearances,” and “ Late Books of Travel,” though anonymous, are thoroughly interesting. Richard Grant White discusses’“ Assorted Americanisms ” as heartily and freshly as if it were a wholly new topic. The Contributors’ Club abounds in bright things, and a chapter of “ Recent Literature” concludes a, very good A t la n tic . Scores of thousands will be delighted to learn that Mr. Howells will begin a new serial story in the January Atl a n t ic .

A man is said to be absent-minded when he thinks he has left his watch at home, and then takes it out of his pocket to see if he has time to return home to get it.

In starting westward from Chicago, it was the pioneer to connect with the Union Pacific Railway: it virtually made thatroad practicable, and was substantially the fath­er of it. It thus earned its well deserved tiile, “ The Old Pioneeer.” That it in a measure exhausted itself financially in its rapid and forced construction across the then unsettled but rich prairies of Illinois and Iowa, accounts for the fact that it was for some time as its later day ana would-bq rivals smilingly put it, “ a streak of rust.”Yet its history, on a review, shows it to have ever been, as to time andjto absence

PEACHES IN MAINE.A correspondent of Mtiine Farmer gives

the following account of a flourishing peach orchard in tho town of I.vman, York Co., showing that peaches can be successfully raised in Maine:

“ I will give you a few facts and figures concerning an orchard of tuy neighbor, llr . Henry Gordon. Mr. Gordon's farm is sit­uated on a high ridge of land eight miles from Biddeford, and four from Alfred, Ken- nobunk, Biddeford, Saco and Portland, can be plainly seen in a clear day and the lights from three lighthouses can be seen at night; soil is rocky but good. Mr. Gordon has 170 trees in bearing, all started from se­lected seeds; the trees have been set five and six yqars anil he will harvest this sea­son 250 bushels of as large, delicious, red cheeked poaches as ever grew in the United States. One gentleman who has visited all tlie celebrated peach orchards in the South, declared, after going through this orchard that he never saw the like before. Tiiis season, Mr. Gordon commenced to pick Aug. 20, and will finish about Oct. 10; his peaches will average $3.50 per bushel. People come from f ir and near to see the beautiful sight, and feast on peaches. Last week there were 150 visitors there by actual count who bought from one quart to threo bushels. Mr. Gordon lias trees over forty years old that are loaded witli fruit, and are not failed of a crop but one year in lie last ten. He proposes to start 2000 trees

in the spring nnd make peach growing aspeciality.”

By To-Day’s MailMr. James Kedpath arrived at San Fran­

cisco, from Panama, Tuesday. fHon. Dennis L. Milliken, one of the most

prominent citizens of Waterville, died Tucs. day evening, at the age of 75 years.

Mrs. Meeker (wife of the Indian agent who was killed,) with her children, have all arrived safely at Alamosa. They owe their safety to the sister of Ouray, who in­terposed for them, when the Indians had determined to kill them.

Bill Young, charged with the murder of Lewis Spencer and four children at Dako­ta, Missouri, was tried last week, and a verdict of not guilty was rendered. So strong was the belief of tile community in his guilt, that a mob of 1800 people sur­rounded his house. He opened fire upon them and wounded eight. The mob then forced their way into his house, took him out and hanged him.

Conviction of a Murderer.The second trial of Jason P. Scribner,

for killing two of. his children, was con­cluded at Augusta, on Saturday, and a ver­dict of guilty was rendered against him. The defense at this, as well as at the form­er trial, when the jury disagreed, was in­sanity at the time when the deed was com­mitted. Judge Libby charged the jury that “ if the man knew that whnt he was doing was wrong, and he was liable to Ik? punished for it, then be is subject to pun­ishment, although there might be some partial derangement.” The Augusta Jour­nal says: ‘‘ While there is a difference of opinion among those who observed the trial in relation to the sanity or insanity of Scrib­ner, there is but one opinion of the neces­sity and propriety of placing him in the State Prison."

HP' The Progressive Age, judging from its leader in the last number, is preparing to desert the Greenback cause, and to join Itself with the Democratic party. It must be refreshing to the editor to peruse the files of his paper from 1856 to 1876.

QT We notice a statement going the rounds of Democratic and Greenback pa­pers. that nt the recent elections in Con­necticut the Republicans carried twenty towns, tlie Democrats fifty-six, and thirty- nina towns were divided between the two jiartics. The true statement is, that the Republicans'carried seventy towns, which makes quite a difference.

The Ute Indians.The Chicargo Tribune contains some in­

teresting information concerning the Ute Indians, which was communicated to that paper by Capt- W. H. Merrill of the U. S. Army who has spent some lime among the Western Tribes. He thinks there are about 7,000 men, women and children of the Ute Nation, in the seven subordinate tribes, the Tabaguache, Yampas, White River, Bear River, Unoompahgre, Green River and Uintah. They owned the en­tire territory of Colorado—Spanish for “red color ” from which Colorew, the former head chiel, received his name. He is call­ed “ Captain Jack,” and Nicalgeh is his Indian name. He is a turbulent and quar­relsome man, nnd was banished to the Northern Agency when the peaceable Ou­ray was made chief! The Utes are the best of all the Indians, and are affable as a rule. Their language contains many words resembling Hebrew ones, nnd mnny of their customs are like those of the Jews in the Mosaic period. They are the best dressed and the best looking of all tlie Indians. They will not work; they will fight to avoid work. They want a good deal from the Government and not much talk. And that suggests why a stare was driven into poor Meeker’s mouth. It is a significant thing.. In all their mutilations the mouth is generally not touched. When it is, it means too much talk,—in other words, too many promises, and no fulfil­ments. I believe, says Captain Merrill, that Meeker fulfilled every promise the Government gave him the means to fulfil, but had probably made promises that ho couldn’t carry out. Captain Jack is a great fat, lazy, cowardly, gluttonous In­dian. Governor Evan’s family was much annoyed by him last year. He made himself perfectly at home there, going into Mrs. Evan’s room nnd using her comb and brush. Finally the Governor hit upen a plan to get rid of him by asking him to work. Mr. Meeker was as complete a representative of the Christian religion as I ever met. He blamed me continually for what ho termed my harshness, and assert­ed that prayers, and Christian influence, and kindness would eventually bring the Indians to a civilized life. He met them with an olive branch in one hand and a Bible in the other, and prayers on his lips. He carried out his policy, nnd you see the result. I told him if he did so he would be a dead man. He was the embodiment of the Quaker policy. He accepted the po­sition of Agent not for its emoluments, but from a sense of duty. Ho was a noble man and I never met a purer or more upright and devoted friend of the Indiun than he. lie would get on his knees and pray, trust­ing in God for his safety. He often ex­ceeded his instructions in his kindness of heart. 1 often told him to be careful in one thing—in making promises to be sure and promise less than be was able to give —in the fulfilment to give a little moro than he had promised, and to do it with as few words as possible. The Indians don't like talk.

The Lincoln mill at Lewiston, which shut down in June 1878, is to start up again ear­ly next month. It has 22,000 spindles and will disburse in Lewiston about $10,000 per month, employing 400 hands—275 females and 125 males.

The Lewiston Journal of Saturday says extra freight trains in and out continue to run on the Androscoggin railroad daily. One day recently, there were three extras. The receipts are mainly coal nnd cotton and the shipments consist chiefly of cotton goods. An extra] train of eight cars, loaded with cases of goods from our cotton mills, went out this morning. That is the way cotton manufacturing is now carried on in Lew­iston.

Our W ashington L etter.Washington, Oct. 26, 1879.

Mk. Editor:—Our second summer, ns it may be called, has ended and we are ex­periencing frosty weatlfer. The change is so great that most people find their over­coats requisite to protect them from the chilling atmosphere. The change is, how­ever, moro gratifying than otherwise, after so long a term of heat. Our quiet season is not over yet and many are still away from the city to stay till after tho Novem­ber elections. Business, however, is decid­edly improving and the poor people arc much better satisfied with the situation than they were two months ago.

The new Printing and Engraving build­ing, and the National Museum are fast ap­proaching a state of completion and will add materially to” the [fine] appearance of the city. The main subject of attention

! and conversation, at present, is tho Na- ■ tionnl Fair, so called, the buildings for which are lieing erected just outside of the city, and are nearly finished. Many per-

I sons are preparing things to be put on ex­hibition there, and it bids fair to be a grand

’ success. The show of fast trotting horses will be a prominent feature. The exhibi­tion is expected to be superior to anything of tho kind ever before held nt Washing­ton.

The Republicans are very jubilant over the election news from Maine, Ohio and Iowa, and the Democrats are very quiet.

With a view to utilizing even the short­sighted, the French Minister of War has authorized the wear ing of spectacles while on duty, by such soldiers as need them. The resolvo is a good one, and, moreover, affords a useful precedent for many other classes besides French military officers to follow. It would not be altogether inad­visable for some of the political leaders at Yersailles to adopt a means of increasing their powers of perception. In course of time they might learn to appreciate that public opinion of which for the moment they seem utterly oblivious. Spectacles, if they would clear the moral vision, might be usefully adopted by electors such as those who lately tried to send Blamqui to Parliament. Even writers like the Comte d’ Ideville, who has given to the world some anecdotes about the Comte de Cbam- bord, might wear sight-clearers. if they would enable him to see the smiles which such recitals as his excite; while editors who write nonsense which is just reported from the Bepublii/ue Nrancaoisc about the Bismnrck-Andrassy conference could be excused if they forthwith adopted a pair. Further afield, thore are many in other countries to whom spectacles might be ad­vantageous, the people who fight to give Bulgaria a constitution they do not possess at home, being among them; while some in this country, who are unable to see any­thing in Russia but as rose-colored, or in Turkey that is not of a jaundice hue should get corrective glasses at once, before their blunders lead to disastrous consequences.

GT A Democratic paper, (he Washington Oazetic, suggests to the Southern men in Congress that they should present and pass a bill creating the office of captain-general, with a salary ample to maintain the digni­ty of the station, and declaring Gen. Grant general-in-chief of our armies during life. It adds: "The South, without loss of dig­nity, can do this, for he has never failed to treat the chiefs and the soldiers of the lost cause with consideration and respect.”

W O n the 23d of May 1876, Mr. Alvan C. Foster was murdered at Keene, N. II., and the affair has been a mystery ever since, until recently some light was shed upon the matter, and it is now in a fair way to be cleared up |Three men, F. W. Dodge, of Bellows Falls, 1 t., George B. Spencer, of Springfield, Yt., and Gideon Lee, of Ches­ter, Yt., have been indicted by the grand jury for the crime. These persons have, from time to time, dropped words which have led to their indictment.

j y The Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier has this significant paragraph re­specting the nomination of Mr. Tilden for the JPresidency. “ The Democratic can­didate must come from the East, and if he is to have the faintest chance of election be must not be Samuel J . Tilden. To nomi­nate Mr, Tilden is to throw away the elec­toral vote of South Carolina, and to lose two or three Congressmen. Can the Na­tional Democratic party afford it? Nor is the evil confined to South Carolina. There will betrouble wit hbolh Florida and Louisi­ana if the candidate be Mr. Tilden. To speak plainly, while the South, wielding enormous power, is not disposed to dictate who shall be nominated, it has already said that the nominee shall not be Mr. Tilden.” The News and Courier is one of the most influential Democratic papers in that State and it declares itself in favor of ihe norifi- nation of Senator Bayard of Deleware.

W In an article questioning the proprie­ty of continuing the office of Attorney General, published three weeks ago. we stated that two cases for murder had been tried in this county, in neither of which did Attorney General McLellan appear. We then thought that the case of Hannah Thorndike was tried nt the March term of Court, bntjthis was not so. That case was tried at the December term of 1878, when Mr. Emery was Attorney General, and he did not apper at the trial. We would do no injustice to the present Attorney Gen­eral, but the fact that neither the former or the present incumbent of that office ap­peared, at the trials of the cases alluded to serves to strengthen our opinion that the office can be safely abolished, and without any detriment to the cause of justice.

Ey A Washington correspondent of the Boston Herald says the Treasury depart­ment has discovered that the continuance of the extensive smuggling operations on tlie Maine border is due in part to the fact that some of the customs officers there are implicated in the smuggling, and the Sec­retary is contemplating a number of chang­es in tho service there. Only five officers are employed to watch th# border for hun­dreds of miles along tbejnorthern and east­ern sections of Maine, and the facilities for smuggling are, of course, very great there. The treasury agents have been looking in­to the businessjfor some time past, and are convinced that there iscollusion somewhere among the government employes with the smugglers. It is probable that a number of customs ^officers in Maine will be re­moved at an early day, but the department is proceeding with great secrecy in the matter, and the names of the doomed offi­cers are withheld.

ty The places for polling votes in New York city, as designated by the Police Com­missioners, for the eleetion next Tuesday, comprise, clothing stores, candy stores, barbers shops, cigar shops, shoe stores, un­dertaker shops, tailor shops, bakeries, sta­ble offices and various other establift- ments. But the liarber shops seem to] pre­dominate—no less than 178 of these estab­lishments having been selected for polling places. Cigar shops come next, 151 hav­ing been designated. Seventy-one shoe stores, are selected, and] large numbers of tailor shops, candy stores, clothing stores etc. There are 678 polling places in the city. As soon as the votes are counted at the polling places the result is immediately telegraphed to the. Pol ice office.

The Allen prize for the largest growth of corn to an eighth of an acre, of­fered to the lads of York county was to have been decided»on Saturday, but owing to some of the returns being behind time, and others irregular, the president of the York county Society decided to postpone the announcement of prizes. Thirty-two boys raised upon one-eighth of an acre of land, over 1000 pounds of corn; six over 1100 pounds, five over 1200 pounds, one •v e r 1800 pounds, and one over 1400 pounds The Dane prizes for best traces were awarded to Charles A. Tibbetts of Sanford, John F . Goodwin of Shapleigh, and Willie E .Storerof Kennebunk. Moses S. Milliken Jr., of |Biddeford,]J raised the greatest amount, 1404 pounds of corn in the ear.

HT About a year ago a trunk was found in Saugus river, near Salem, Mass., which upon being opened was found to contain the body of a young woman, whoso nose had been cut off, so that she might not be identified. After a long investigation it was proved that the victim was Miss Jen­nie P. Clarke, of Boston. It appeared from an examination of the body that an abortion had been produced upon Miss Clarke, causing her death. For a long time no clue to the perpetrators of this crime could be obtained. Finally two girls who had met Miss Clarke at the house of an abortionist, gave information which led to the detection and arrest of a “ Dr.” Kimball nnd a Mrs. Goodrich. The first trial resulted in a disagreement of the jury, but the second trial, last week, resulted in a verdict charging Kimball with having been accessory after the felony, and Good­rich with having procured an abortion. Adams, the man who is charged with hav­ing seduced Miss Clarke, is yet to have his trial.

S' “ There is a town in Maine," says the Boston Herald, “ which has borne the name of Industry for seventy-six years. In it have been two postoffices. Industry and West's Mills. Now the bluuderbeads in the postoffice department have gone to work and changed the name of the former to Allen's Mills, so that now a letter addressed to the old town of Industry, Me., will go to the dead letter office. And yet Mr. Key wonders that New England finds fault.”

Elections Next Week.Next Tuesday important elections take

place in Masschusotts, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Wisconsin and some other States. The greatest interest seems to be centered upon Masschusetls, New York and New Jersey. In Massachusetts tho real contest is between John D. Long Republican, and Gen. Butler, Democrat’ Greenback and Independent, who are can­didates for Governor. The straight Demo­crats have a candidate, John Quincy Adams, and the Prohibitionists, also have a candidate, Rev. Dr. Eddy. But the big vote will bo divided between Messrs Butler nnd Long, one of whom will be elected. The contest has been carried on with great vigor by these gentlemen nnd their sup­porters, and a large vote will be cast,though probably not so large as that of last year, when Gen. Butler was defeated by Gov. Talbot, the latter having some 15,000 plu­rality.

In New York there is a singular contest, the Democratic party being divided upon its candidate for Governor. Gov. Robin­son received the nomination nt the Demo­cratic State Convention, but Tammany bolted nnd nominated John Kelly as its candidate and is vigorously supporting him. lion. A. B. Cornell is the Republican can­didate, but he meets with some opposition from a portion of that party. Great inter­est is excited upon the complexion of the Legislature to be elected, as the Senate, which is elected for two yenrs, will partic­ipate in the choice of a U. S. Senator to fill the place of Mr. Kernan, Democrat, whose term expires March 4, 1881, and whose place the Republicans hope to fill with one of their own number.

In New Jersey a Legislature and County officers only are to be elected. But the Senate to be elected next Tuesday will par­ticipate in the election of n U. S. Senator to succeed Mr. Randolph, Democrat, whose term expires March 4, 1881. Hence, great eflorts will be made, by both parties, to secure the majority in that body. The Republicans,it is said have the best chance, only one half of the Senators being elected this year, and the Republicans requiring only three of the number to maintain their control of the Senate. A pretty thorough canvass of tho State has been made by both parties.

In our next issue we shall be able to give the result of the elections in tho above mentioned States.

Business Look.Tho Auburn shoe manufacturers have ad­

vanced the price of their products in most all grades, frpm seven to ten per cent. The upward movement in stock continues and manufacturers are buying very heavy stocks of leather at present prices. Over seventy tons have been received the past week. The total shipments for tho week are 1,- 646 cases, against 1,759 cases the preceding week, and 1,377 cases for the corresponding week of last year. The factories are all ruuning on full time.

Lumber will probably be the next to feel the impetus given the prices by the revival of business. I t has been sold for three years lower than it could be produced, had there been a consumption proportional to the production. The Boston yards have ad­vanced their prices, and we learn that the Bangor lumbermen have also given notice to their customers of a rise in the price of manufacturing,

The starch mill at Patten has already ground up 40.000 bushels of potatoes—as many as were expected to be used for the wholefseason. But,as the potatoes continue to come in.the mill will be kept in operation os the weather will permit. The capacity of tho mill is from 800 to 1,000 bushels per day.

London, Eng., Oct. 14,1879. While the Emperors of Russia and Ger­

many are making a conspicuous exhibition of their affection for each other, the press of both countries is largely occupied in discussing the probabilities of war. Not only the officials, but the official journals of St. Petersburg and Berlin treat the im­pending outbreak as only a question of time, and regard the Imperial embracing as only a ceremonious handshaking before the duel. The interview of the Chancel­lors, Bismarck and Gortschakoff, is viewed in a similar light, while the overtures o ̂the latter to France are considered as full of significance. These startling “ signs of the times ’’ are attracting universal atten­tion, nnd everybody is looking for casus bcl-

\li between the two Great Powers. So fai­ns I can discern there is no special cause of any considerable magnitude, but a thou­sand little anonyanccs and irritations on both sides which, in the aggregate, may lead to open hostilities. Besides, when Kings and Cabinets are inclined to go to war they can always find, or make, a rens- on for declaring it, ns in the case of France and Germany. The question why did the French attempt to go to Berlin has never been satisfactorily answered and probably the Emperor himself had not much clearer ideas on the subject than the thoughtless troops that went so gaily marching out of Paris, shouting: A Berlin1, a Berlin'. The spirit of war was in the air, in the hearts of the people and, especially, in the National Assembly. A similar feeling seems to ex­ist at this moment, both in Russia nnd in Germany, and under such hostile condi­tions there only wants an occasion for war declaring itself. But the odds are so vast­ly in favor of Germany, which can place at once 1,250,000 troops in the field, while Russia can hardly raise half that number, that Gortschakoff feels the necessity of se­curing a powerful ally, before engaging his country in war, Iu this emergency he naturally looks to France, and begins by flattering the vanity of the grande nation, once the chief military power of the world, and which should again occupy that proud position. And France, ambitious of revenge? listens to the voice of the charmer and dreams of recovering her lost Rhine Provin­ces. Meanwhile other Powers will have something to say on this question, especially England and Italy, and if there is to be a war between Russia and Germany, noth­ing can prevent the conflagration from spreading all over Europe. It will be the greatest war the world has ever seen. No peace doctrines or millcnium illusions can stay the tidal wave of blood. Wlrat is the meaning of six millions of men perpetually under arms if there is to be no moro war! The more civilized the nations become the more aggrossive and belligerent they a re . Christianity does not extinguish human passion. It scarcely modifies human bru­tality. Moral forces cannot stand against military forces, and abstract right opposed to physical might, is a baby contending with a giant. So long as the arts and in-' dustrics, tho science; education, talent and revenue of the world are devoted to “ mili­tary purposes,’’ forming the principal item in the budgets of all nations, war will con­tinue to be one of the chief occupations of man, and great warriors will continue to be regarded as the heroes of the world.

A paragraph is going the rounds of the papers to the effect that her Majesty the Queen has signified that she regards with great disfavor the profession of the “ Fash­ionable Beauty.” If this be really the case, the pets of the camera will have to amend their ways, though whnt possible objec­tion the Queen can have to seeing her liege subjects in the shop windows, I can­not for the life of me imagine, especially as all tho ladies in question are staunch friends of H. R. H. the Prince of Wales. One of the comic papers has a droll account of an imaginary meeting of the husbands of these much be-photographed beauties—

Wednesday evening Mr. Thomas Carter of Round Pond, while returning home from New Harbor, was waylaid in a piece of woods by a man who seized his horse by the head and tried to lead him into a by­road.

Stephen Goodale died at York town farm a few days since at the remarkable age 118 of years, so the records of the town show.

During this summer he has kept bis bed.

One Libby, professing to be a student in the Lewiston Theological School, appears to be an unmitigated scoundrel. Ilis plan is to represent himself as selling Free Bap­tist publications, but the books having failed to arrive ho is destitute of fnnds and wish­es to go home; therefore be wants a loan of a few dollars in his emergency, and gives a due bill for it. In this way he has vic­timized parties in Dover, Bangor and sev­eral other places, stating that he lived on Pleasant street, in Auburn, and belonged to Rev. Jason Mariner's church. Later he appears nt Hallowell, where he makes the same general statements, as to business and standing, but belongs to the Essex street Free Baptist church, and exhibits a letter of recommendation from Rev. Mr. Howard, pastor. This letter is a forgery, and the public is cautioned against him as an im- pos tor.

Knox A Lincoln Musical Associa­tion.

The fifteenth annual session of this liody was held at Damariscotta on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week. At the be­ginning of the session there was a good class in at­tendance aud the conductor Mr. G. W. Dudley, of Boston, was introduced to the Convention by Presi­dent Obear and began his work. Mrs. James Wight of this city presided at the pianoforte. The sessions of the first day were devoted to the rehear­sal of church mnsie, glees and anthems.

After the business’meetiug the time was devoted to voice culture aud rehearsal until the hour for the matinee arrived. In the evening the closing concert took place with a very fine programme. I t opened with’the cantata, “ The Legend of Don Munio,” the solos being sustained by Miss Kel­logg, Mrs. Cushing and Messrs. Dudley and Thur- Jow. Chandler’s Orchestra, which received quite an ovation at these concerts, performed some fine selections, and there were songs by Miss Kellogg, Mr. Dudley, Miss Clark and Mrs. Cushing. At the intermisson during the concert, resolutions were adopted thanking President, conductor, pi­anist, soloist and orchestra, as well as the K. & L. R. R- for reduced fares. A considerable num­ber from Rockland and Thomaston went on the special train to attend the c losing concert. Miss Kellogg, the soprano, is said to have made very marked improvement since her appearance before the conventiou two years ago. The next session of the Convention will be held id this city.

4« Hamilton Lodge I. O.|G. T., at its meeting last Saturday evening, elected the following officers for the ensuing quarter, who will be installed next Saturday evening: W. C. T., C. L. Duuning; W.V. T .,H attie Orbeton; W. S., Hattie Kenniston;W. F. S., Charles Gregory; W. T., Charles Bow­en; W. M., Joseph Sylvester; W. C., Nellie Fog­erty; W . I. G., Minnie Packard; W. O. G., A. C. Hamilton.

4« There hasn’t been a time in the last six years when there was so much repairing of build­ings in tliis city, as at the present. On nearly every street you can see evidence of the above statement. There are little piles of building ma­terials to be seen in the yards or on the sides of the streets, such as shingles; various kinds of lum­ber, bricks, sand, lime etc. with painters’ ladders standing against the walls, or piled near by, ready for use or to be taken to another job.

4* Schooner Annie Lee, Capt. D. W. Look, which arrived here Monday afternoon, with coal for James Feraald, made an unusually quick run. She left New York Friday night and made the run to the Vineyard in 18 hours. Leaving there Sunday, she made tlie run to this port in 26 hours, making the whole running time from New York to Rockland only 44 hours, and this when deeply laden with coal.

4* One of the city papers recently gave currency to a report that the •• Ideal Opera Company ’’ (in­cluding Baraabee, Whitney, Adelaide Phillips, Mary Beebe, W. H. Fessenden, Frothingam and other eminent singers) was soon to appear here. The agent informs us that owing to the great ex­pense of the organization, there is no intention of including Rockland in its circuit. Our people, no doubt, would be much pleased to hear this com­pany.

4< The case of O. G. Shepherd, for violating the City Ordinance against the erection of wooden buildings, within certain limits, on Main street, came before the Police Court on Friday, and was disposed of by Mr. Shepherd being required to recognize in the sum of five huudred dollars for his appearance at the S. J . Court, next to be hold- en in this city in December. D. N. Mortland ap­peared for the city and A. P. Gould for tho de­fendant.

4«A very interesting autnmnal Sunday-school concert was held at the First Baptist Church last Sunday evening. The church was appropriately decorated with autumn leaves, and the exercises were appropriate to the season of the gathered harvest and the falling leaves. Music was fur­nished by the choir and two or three solo pieces were also sung, while at the close of the children’s exercises, brief and appropriate addresses were made by the superintendent, Mr. F. M. Shaw, and the pastor, Rev. W. C. Barrows.

4« We take pleasure in inviting attention to the prospectus and premium list of the Golden Rule in our advertising columns. The Golden Rule is now owned by Messrs. H. A. Shorey.and C. W. Baldwin and conducted by Ihe former. Wm. H , Merrill is the principal editor, with a very strong corps of associate and contributing editors. The paper is issued in the same style as when original­ly established, in quarto form, with fine paper and beautiful clear type. Its pages are ably filled, in all departments,and it is thoroughly deserving of a wide circulation.

4* An excursion to Sullivan and return, ' on steamer Charles Houghton, for the benefit of Capt. David Robinson, was advertised for to-day. The weather was tine for the occasion, but it is rather late for excursion business and not many went from this city. Numbers would probably join the excursion at other landings, however,

4« Rev. W. O. Holman and wife, of Boston (Charlestown district) celebrated tlieir 20tli wed­ding anniversary last week. The occasion was a very pleasant one and the gifts many and valua­ble. Together with the many other friends of Mr. and Mrs. Holman in this city, we congratulate them on the happy occasion and wish them, in due season, an equally happy celebration of their “ golden wedding.” The Charlestown News has the following paragraph concerning the event:

Last Monday evening, a large number of the parishioners and friends of W. O. Holman, pastor of the Bunker Hili Baptist Church in this district, assembled at his residence on Mystic Street, to join with him and his estimable wife, in the cele­bration of the twentieth anniversary of their mar­riage. From eight o’clock until eleven the house was filled with friends who came to cougratulate the clergyman and his wife, and to wish them more happy years of wedded life. The evening was pleasantly passed in social intercourse, and in the enjoyment of some choice music. Mr. and Mrs. Holman were the recipients of many useful and valuable gifts, among which were two full sets of china, one plain and one colored; an abun­dance of various kinds of linen, a shawl of rare and beautiful Persian texture and workmanship, and many elegant bouquets. The occasion was every wav enjoyable, and will long be remembered by all who were present.

Rev. Geo. H. Vibbert, o f Mass., who lias been filling appointments in this State fo ra num­ber of weeks past, addressed a very good audience at the First Baptist Church, on Monday evening, upon “ The Citizen and the Dram Shop.” Mr. Vibbert is well known as one of the most able and zealous advocates of total abstinence and prohi” bition ill Massachusetts, and on this occasion Ire made an eloquent and powerful address, which was especially devoted to exhibiting in the light of the most convincing and forcible proofs and illustrations, the wastes and burdens of the drink traffic, in the destruction of industry and the en­forced taxation of the labor and capital employed in every legitimate channel, for its support. The lecture was listened to with close attention, and met with warm approval. We wish the same audiences could listen to this lecture which gather in our city to hear a political speaker iu the hight of a campaign, for certainly no question is more important in political economy than this of the drink traffic. A strong wish was expressed -that Mr. Vibbert should speak in the city again at an early day, and probably a second ^appointment will be soon arranged for him.

4* Tillson’s W harf presents, as usual, a very busy spectacle. Stone-cutting is going on in the sheds; piles of lumber occupy considerable space and carpenters are busily at work framing tlie large freight warehouse and passenger depot which is to extend across the eastern front of tho wharf and engaged at other work. Another gang of workmen arc busily employed in facing up the granite of the wharf with piling. Work is also be­ing pushed on the new north extension of the wharf. Workmen are also engaged in building a house enclosing the water-tank, to protect it from freezing. Au engine house has also been built on the scow to cover the hoisting engine. Altogeth­er the locality looks more like “ business ’’ than any other in town.

4< The llinghamton Republican has the follow­ing concerning the famous photographer, Singhi, formerly of this city :

“ S in g h i the prince of artists, has been highly complimented by Prince Alexis, of Ilcrlesliausen and Barchfeld, in Germany. Charles Macller, of this city, is an admirer of the Prince, and had in his possession his card photograph from an original negative. Mr. Naeller had Mr. Singhi copy it to cabinet size, and sent the Prince two of the enlarged pictures. His Highness was moved with joy, and immediately sent his autograph to his friend Maellcr, over an order for two dozen of the pic­tures. Ilis Highness further states that hereafter several of his friends will patronize Singhi. Our Yankee artist will immediately place over his door: “ Patronized by the Royal House of Hesse.” Schccminetty, scheemiuee! Dot vash high u p ; don’t it ?”

Bred first and '• hit the bull’i eye." Mr Fuller then tried a shot, holding the pistol firmly, aud overshot the mark a little. Trying again, by Mr. Y. s advice he held the pistol loosely, and over­shot still more, with the unfortunate result above mentioned. Bn., Fuller bus got a new warning example against the careless use of fire-arms and now registers a vow that he will never shoot nt a mark less spacious than the “ blue empyrean ” and only then with blank cartridges.

“ Onr Heroes," the grand patriotic military drama to be presented before the public, next week by Edwin Libby Post, G. A. R ., is in vigorous rehearsal and will he put on the stage in a mantlet to deserve over-fluwing houses. The proceeds, as our citizens are aware, go into the charity fund of the Post, which is devoted to the relief of the sick and the assistance of the widows and orphans of deceased soldiers. This charity is deserving of liberal encouragement by the public, and when they are asked to contribute only in the way of paying for an entertainment which will be amply worth the price, they sbonld certainly till the hall at each performance.

P olice Court. -F red Moore and Willie Bums were before the Police court Saturday afternoon, charged with committing an assault on Thomas Jefferson Butler of South Thomaston. Bums was discharged. Moore was found guilty and fined three dollars and costs, amounting to four dollars aud seventy-six cents, which lie paid.

On Sunday, Tileston Savage, a denizen of the “ Point,” got into a drunken row and committed assault and battery upon his wife. Savage was locked up, but his better half subsequently refus­ing to appear againtt him for the assault, he could only be subjected to the usual fine for drunkenness, which the Court imposed. Peter Dumphey, who was drunk and disorderly at the North End, was also mulcted in a fine for the offense.

On Tuesday Peter Carmichael and Jackson Ri­ley, who had been engaged in a lively fight on the Point the previous night, were brought before the court and the former was fined $2 and costs and the latter $1 and costs.

The same day, G. A. Lynde was brought before the court on a charge with keeping, with intent for unlawful sale, a dozen and a half hotties of bran­dy, seized in a room adjoining Sam Gray’s luir- room, under the Lynde Hotel, at the time a seiz­ure was made in Gray’s plaee> Sept. 30th. Mr. Lynde denied any knowledge of the brandy and was discharged.

Some days ago, Alvin F. Dean, of So. Thomas­ton, who, with his brother, Wni. H., keeps a liv­ery stable at that place, applied to Judge Hicks fora warrant to search the premises of Charles Fales for articles which had been taken from their stable, and which they suspected were concealed there. Aft^r a full explanation of what the proc. ess involved, the warrant was granted. It was placed, by Dean, in the hands of a So. Thomas­ton officer for service, who searched the premises and found a cushion, a horse blanket, a bridle and a pafr of bitts, and these, together with Fales, the officer presented in court ou Tuesday. Upon the hearing, the two Deans swore positively to the ar­ticles found in Fales’s possession as their property, and Judge II. ordered the articles to be detained in custody of the officer to await a complaint against Fales for larceny. Such a complaint, al­though they had obtained the search warrant and sworn to the property, the Deans both declined to make, as did the officer, who had made the search and arrest. Under these circumstances, Mr. Fales was not held in custody.

On Wednesday a hearing was bad on the claim made by Samuel Gray, for a keg of sherry wine which was among some liquors seized in bis bar­room under Lynde Hotel. This wine Sam. claimed was for personal use, but the court was not able to take that view of the case and declined to surrender it.

4* There w as. a trotting match at the Knox Park last Saturday afternoon, but the attendance was not very large. Tlie first race was for a purse of $30 ($20 to first and $10 to second) between II. S. Moore’s blaek stallion “ W atchmaker,” and J. E. Crockett’s buckskin gelding “ Honest Money.” “ Watchmaker ” won in three straight heats, his’time being 2.53,2.50 and 2.46. The sec­ond raco was for a purse of $35, open to horses that never beat 2.50. The following is tlie score

W A K R E X ,We hear much complaint that the owners of the

few eligible house-lots about the village hold them a t shell exorbitant rates that some parties who would like to build, do not feel that they can af­ford to do so. If this be the state of things, it is one which can be easily remedied, by the laying out of one or two new streets. One or more streets might very profitably be laid ont, extending from Factory street to the street on the west side‘of the river, entering the latter at a point or points be­tween the town cemetery and Mathews’ comer, the new street or streets to ran parallel to Main street, which is straight from the bridge to Mal­lett’s comer. This measure would bring a large liumlier of eligible lots into the market, which would be well situated in respect to the factories, and, if carried out, the growth of the town would not be checked for want of a chance to develop. It conduces to tlie prosperity of a place to have as large a proportion of its citizens, as may be, prop­erry holders, and the holding of real estate, es­pecially, gives a man a stake in the prosperity of the place where he makes his home. W e trust soon to see a move made in the direction indicated.

The fall session of the District Lodge of Good Templars will be holden here with Merry Lodge, on Friday, Nov. 7. I t is expected that there will be a large attendance. There is some likelihood that the eloquent temperance lecturer, Rev. George II. Vibbert, may lecture in town on the evening of that day. If not then, he will probably speak here at an early day and we hope he may have a very large audience, os he is unquestionably the best lecturer who has been in this vicinity for a long time.

Time 2.50, 2.51, 2.50. 74« Bro. Fuller of the Courier has “ a fellow-feel

ing in his bosom ” for the hero of the nursery- rhyme, who

----- “ bent bis bow,To shoot a crow

And killed a cat la the window,” for at Damariscotta, last Friday, he shot at a mark, perforated the broadside of a barn with un­erring precision, and unfortunately also perforated the thigh of Mr. M. H . Page, who happened to lie inside, to the extent of about four inches. Mr. Page, with a sense of the courtesies due tho news­paper profession which does him much credit, at once put Bro. Fuller on tlie “ free list ” without a word of reproach, and smilingly suffered the little surgical operation necessary for the extraction of tlie bullet with a polite omission o f any critical disparagement of the editorial aim. But notwith­standing the amiable manner in which Mr. P. re­ceived the evidence of his skill as a marksman, Fuller thinks that however sucessfnl Mr. F. O. Young tthe left hand writer) may be as a teacher of penmanship, he is by no means a reliable pre­ceptor in the art of pistol-shooting. 0 a the after­noon referred to, Messrs. F. and Y. were in the rear of the hotel for the purpose of testing the quali­ties of a revolver belonging to the latter. The “ mark ” was pinned to a log which formed part of the underpinning of a barn whose sills were about five feet above the (ground. Mr. Young

P o litica l .—We had thought that we should have no more political items to note, but the follow­ing conversation which occured in this village be­tween a Republican and a Grecnbackcr is too good to keep.

Republican.—Well Mr.---- havc’you heard fromOhio ?

Greenbacker.—Yes, Oh yes; I ’ve heard from there.

di.—Twenty-five thousand is a pretty good ma­jority for the Republicans when the Greeubackers expected to carry the State.

G.—Well, yes; but it would have suited me better if it had been forty thousand instead of twenty-five.

R .—Well, really, Mr.----- , vou can extract themost comfort out of misery of any man I ever met. Now, won’t you.be so good as to tell me how you would manage to draw consolation ont of a Republican majority of forty thousand in Ohio ?

G — (Arranging his hat, bringing his body into demonstrative position and placing the end of his right hand index finger in the palin of his left hand). You see, that if the Republican majority in Ohio had been iortv thousand instead of twen­ty-five thousand, it would have taken all tlie hard money Republicans and hard money Democrats to have m ade it up and then, we should have known whom to light. Don’t yon see ?

R.—Well, now. Mr.----- , how large a Republi­can majority in Massachusetts will suffice to make youusnpremely happy ?

G.—Oh, we expect to carry that state.72.— That’s what you said of Ohio before their

election : but never mind that. I want to euqnire about another matter. Do you still maintain that there is no revival of busiuess in the couutry ?

G.—N o: but it is very easy to see why business has started up.

7?.|— W hat in your opinion is the cause of the renewed prosperity ?

G.—Why, you see, that there has been a large amount of gold received from foreign countries and as we liave always maintained, “ The more money, the better the business.”

72.—Yes, but what brought that goTd here from foreign countries ?

G.—W hat brought it here ?72.—Yes, what brought it here ?G.—Well, ahem, I do’ no’ What do you mean ?72.—As you don’t secin to comprehend the ques­

tion, I will pnt it in another form. Did those foreign countries send their gold here as a present to the United States, or was it in payment for goods that they had previously received from us ?

G.—Well, I suppose, yes, we’ve been exporting some tilings.

72.—Well, now, as people are not in the habit of paying for their goods before purchasing, does it not follow that revival of business is what brought the money here rather than the money causing the revival.< G .—I can’t stop now to discuss that question. I’m in a hurry, I. must go.

72.—Just one word. You just see if you can ex­tract as much honey out of this as you have out of the Ohio and Iowa elections. Good day.

A ll Sorts.—We think the trucking business must be good in this place, for we went on to the street the other day and we had ever so many calls for bus’lhess. One wanted'a barrel of apples hauled another a bag of corn; some potatoes and a jag of wood, and so on through nearly the whole cata­logue of the cartman’s stock in trade. The kind offers were thankfully received, but we were obliged to refaso service, owing to the rickety con­dition of otir conveyance.—Last Friday morning was the first snow of the season.—Schooner Fos- tina sailed tor Belfast last Sunday.—J.

THOM ASTON.James H. Rivers, Esq., now in his 83d year,

came very near bciug drowned near the Railroad bridge, one day last week. He went down to a wharf in this locality, and seeing a boat there he got into it, and pushed off into the stream for the purpose of fishing. The boat immediately sank under him, and he was in “ water over his head.” Fortunately there was a broken pile near the wharf which he immediately grasped and saved himself. Mr. Rivers had on a heavy overcoat, which en­cumbered him very much, and when he attempt­ed to reach the shore caused him to sink. His only safety he found was in clinging to the broken pile. He called loudly for help on the work­men engaged at the kiln of Prince, Morse & Co. and soon Charles C. Starrett hearing his voice, called the other workmen, who at once pulled Mr. Rivers out of the water. He was very cold and nearly chilled through, and in a short time must have become exhausted.

On Sunday night about 11 o ’clock, the citizens of this village were aroused by thdVinging of the Baptist church bell, and as each one came run­ning along, rubbing their eyes, they eagerly in­quired where is the fire ? They soon learned that they were not summoned out to a tire, but to buut up two runaway boys, Kendrick Robinson, son of John O. Robinson, Esq., and Louie Atkins, son of Mr. F . A. Atkins, l»oth of whom had been miss­ing since two o’clock in the afternoon, and were last seen on Dunn St., making toward the wharf.A consultation was held, and messengers sent in even’ direction. In a little while it was found they went up on the railroad track towards War­ren. About one o’clock, or a little later, they were found snugly stowed away in bed, sleeping sound­ly, utterly regardless of the frantic fears of the parents, at the house of Mr. Atkins’ brother, near the upper fells in Warren. Mr. Fred. C. O’Brien was the messenger who found these boys, and brought them home. These truants did not seem to realize the anxiety which they caused their parents.

Mr. Adclbcrt Lermond.'it is reported, has pur­chased the house formerly occupied by the late Ambrose Lermond, as a residence, in rear of the Congregational church.

Capt. B. J. Henry, master of ship Corsica, is among the late arrivals of our ship masters now a t home. His ship is in New York, loading oil for London.

Capt. Robert Crosby, one of Thomaston’s ex­cellent master mariners, was united in marriage on Monday hist, to Mrs. Rebecca Stctsou Mero, at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Leonard Stet­son. They left on the train that day for New York, with the kind wishes of their many friends, for their future happiness. The bark Nicholas Thayer, of which Capt. Crosby is master, is loading in New York for Java.

During the heavy gale yesterday forenoon, about 11 o’clock, the barge Fairy broke away from her moorings near Copeland’s mill, and running down stream rapidly, struck the yacht Billy Eat­on, moored opposite Cushing & Co.’s wharf, broke the yacht’s topmast and carried her away from her moorings, both barge and yacht going along swiftly across into the bay. Alfred C. Strout and Luther Simmons got into a boat and went after the barge and yacht. They say that the wind blew furiously, and that the spray from the breaking waves wet them through. They succeed­ed in securing the boats by anchoring them in the bay. They then attempted to row back against the wind, but were obliged to give it up. Leaving! the boat behind, they made land tracks for home.

The Belfast Journal says that the late Hon. James C. Madigan, of Houlton, practiced law in Rockland years ago. Sueh is not the fact. Mr. Madigan first commenced the practice of law in Thomaston, in company with Hon. Lucius H. Chandler, a native of Belfast, who died in Nor­folk, Ya., some two years since, and was one of the foremost lawyers in that State.

Samuel Watts & Co. are repairing schooner Ma­ry A. Power at Cushing & Co.’s wharf. At the same wharf schooner Telegraph is having a new mainmast put in.

Mr. Samuel F. Robinson, one of our most active young men and best tailors, has opened a mer­chant tailoring establishment in Biddeford. We regret to lose Mr. R. from among our business men, but we can assure the citizens oi that city tliat he is a first-class tailor and a downright good fellow.

A monument is soon to be erected in the village cemetery at Alfred, in memory of Hon. John Holmes, near the spot where the remains of his first wife and son were buried. This is eminently proper, as there lie spent the greater portion of his life, and achieved his highest honors at the bar, and at the forum. During the latter years of his life he resided at Thomaston, having’ married as a second wife a daughter of Major General Henry Knox, distinguished as an officer of the revolu­tionary war, aud as a member of President Wash­ington’s csbineL Mr. Holmes died at Portland July 7th, 1843, while holding the position of United States District Attorney. He was buried at Thomaston, and the spot where his remains lie cannot now be identified. That one so distinguish­ed as a citizen, iawyer and statesman, as he, should have had no headstone or monument to tioint out liis last resting place and commemorate his memory reflects no credit on those who pride themselves as being his descendants.—Portland Argus.I The Argus is mistaken about Mr. Holmes be­ing buried in Thomaston. If he had been buried here bis remains would have been placed'in the receiving vault of the Knox tomb, and his" name would have been placed on the Knox monument, but such is uot the feel. Furthermore, none of our citizens recollect of Mr. Holmes re­mains being brought here for interment. The late Judge Goodenow, of Alfred, a number of years since, in company with Judge Levensaler! visited Gen. Knox’s tomb, and stated at that time that Mr. Holmes was buried in Alfred beside bis first wife.

A P P L E T O N .There was a mistake made by the Appleton cor­

respondent last week. The Cqpvention of the Reform Club is to be held Wednesday and Thurs­day of this week,and not Tuesday and Wednesday, as therein stated. I stated it just as 1 heard it. It looks now as tho’ there would be a small attend­ance, as it is rainy and bids fair (or foul) to be so to-morrow.

There was quite a serious fire in town last night. The barn of Norton Pease, with alibis hay, two cows, two steers and some poultry. The fire was not discovered in season to save anything out of the barn. Supposed to be incendiary.

Our friends in Dakota who went from Hope and Appleton have suffered some from prairie fires. Mr. Larkin Safford lost a new granary and three stacks of wheat, and the Conant brothers lost some grain, I did not ascertain how much.

Mr. E . D. Gushee has completed repairs on his buildings. They are all new on the outside, both walls and roof. His house, looks quite nobby, with its new finish and windows. It ought to lie warm, as he has covered it with sheathing paper, and given it three coats of paint. Ligc has been making still further improvements, in his pasture- field by getting out stumps and stones and plow­ing. He has laid a stone wall next the road. The field looks nice.

Many of our people are making farm improve­ments this fell. I notice that John Hall, Esq., has quite a piece of burnt land that he has been clearing. He has also been clearing and plowing a number of acres of rough pasture. Mr. Lewis McLain and Representative-elect S. J . Gushee are building considerable wail. Supervisor Went­worth is getting out granite for his barn. Mr. Theodore Tyler commenced Monday to build a house for Mr. Crie of Searsmont. Mrs. M. O. Giles is ditching, an d removing boulders. Mr. Lincoln Johnson has his house completed on the outside.

Bro. Taylor the answer is very easy. I used Hop Bitters in time; kept my family’ well and saved the doctor bills. Three dollar’s’ worth of | it kept us well and able work all the time I’ll warrant it has cost you and the neighbors one to two hundred dollars apiece to keep sick the same time.’

CHOICE PLANTS FOR SUCCESS­FUL WINDOW-GARDENS.

In choosing plants for window-gardens the greatest success often comes from hav - Ing an eye to beautiful foliage rather than flowers.. Of this subject the American Garden says:

" Amateurs are always too anxious for flowering plants, not seeming fully to ap­preciate handsome foliage. If tile Calin does not bloom, the Calin is of no account. Now, this is an elegant plant and well worth growing if itnever bloomed. In the whole catalogue of ornamental foliaged plants ■carcely anything is comparable to the sil­ver-margined. golden tricolor, and bronze­leaved Geraniums, and those should nev­er be allowed to bloom, that the opportu­nity for leafage be unimpaired. Begonia rex and some of its varieties are worth a score of ordinary blooming plants. There are many choice exotics that may be made available. For decorative vines I know of nothing equal to English Ivy. Maderia Vine, and Smilax. The Ivy Geranium (pelatum elegant). grown on a trellis, makes a very fine display in winter. So also do some of the Colens and other foliage plants. The selection will ever remain a matter of taste. One likes what another dislikes, and is another of the reasons why we are so often disappointed in our purchases.

IIoli.anij Bulbs.—Nothing meets the want for flowers in the winter so fully as' the Holland Bulbs. Our windows may be made gorgeous with them the latter part of the season. Not sweet like hyacinths, that are indispensible, but far more strong, arc the early Tulips, the Due Van Thols. Plant several in one pot in autumn and fill many pots. Set them away to grow roots, according to the florist's directions. Then in mid-winter bring them into bloom in your sitting-room. I have had the best flowers, especially from Hyacinths, by planting three, five or nine bulbs in a box just largo enough to hold them, and plung­ing the box in autumn into a warm bor­der or somewhat sheltered place. In the winter, in a February thaw, I dug up the box or boxes, and when they were suffici­ently drained gave them light and moder­ate heat, and the finest spikes of flowers made their appearance immediately, l’ots would be broken by freezing; hence boxes must be used. And if they are unsightly in the window, cover them with Lichens, Cup-moss, aqd Baby-cones, an abundance of which may be gathered in the autumn rambles.

Plants for Forcing.—A long list ol good garden plants for forcing has been given us. and I can speak with confidence of a few that I have tried, among which arc Dicentra spectabilis, Deutzia gracilis, Spi­res aruncus, Lilium longiflorum, not for­getting Sedum spectabile, already men­tioned. Of herbaceous Spireas, Dicentra, etc., crowd the pot full of roots. The more shoots the more bloom. Give the potted plants entire repose and no water, or only a trifle, after they are placed in the cellar—which may be done any time be­fore the ground freezes. I never think it worth while to disturb this kind of stock before mid-winter. Then bring to the liv­ing room such as you desire to bloom at once, reserving some for a succession of flower. This kind of gardening has great advantages. You give place to the plants only while the growth is very rapid and the bloom abundant. Then they may be taken to the cellar with impunity, to await the spring planting. Any of our shrubs that form their buds in autumn might be taken and thus forced, if they were not too large for window-gardening. I have seen branches of white lilac placed is water producing very good bloom.

| v T itra te for Boilers.

The beauty of steam yachts and all small pleasure steamboats, says the New Haven Palladium, has always been marred by the cumbrous boiler and engine necessary to furnish the propel- ling power, while small steamboats could net er be made practical for business pur­poses, owing to the large amount of room occupied by the same apparatus. An in­vention, recently perfected, and which is in control of two New Haven gentle­men. lrnth of whom have occupied the position of Adjutant General of Connec­ticut, v iz .; Hon. Collin 51. Ingersol and Prof. Wm. Trowbridge, has proved a complete success, anil undoubtedly will completely supercede the boiler in all steamboats requiring a comparatively small degree of power. A little cylinder containing a coil of pipe, in which the steam is generated, takes the place of the boiler. The fuel is poured into the cylinder a t the top, and the entire affair is very similar to a base burning stove.

I t is necessary to carry very little water to feed the boiler, four or live gal­lons being sullicient, the waste water running back to the tank and being uti­lized, and a small pump feeding the coiled pipe. A very small engine is suf­ficient to give power. One of the West patent, an English invention was used in the boat in which the owners of the right made a trial trip last Saturday in the harbor, and similar engines will hereafter be made at the Colt armory in Ilartfoid. The yacht is of very graceful model, is made a life boat by means of air cham­bers, and weighs little more than three- quarters of a ton.

Is this B arbarism .

Coleridge relates a story to this e tteet: Alexander, during his march into Afri­ca, came to a people dwelling in peace­ful huts, who knew neither war nor con­quest. Gold being offered him, he re­fused it, saying that his sole object was to learn the mauners and customs of the inhabitants. “ Stay with us,’’said the Chief, “ as long as it pleases thee. Dur­ing this interview with the African Chief two o f his subjects brought a case before him for judgment. The dispute was th is : The one had bought a piece of ground, which after the purchase, was found to contain a treasure for which he felt himself bound to pay. The other refused to receive anything, stating that lie had sold the ground with what it might be found to contain, apparent or concealed. Said the Chief, looking at the o n e : You have a so .,” and to the other, “ You have a daughter; le t them be married, and the treasure given them as a dowry.” Alexander was astonished. And what, said the Chief, “ would have been the decision in your country ?” “ 55 e should have dismissed the parties and seized the treasure for the King's use.” “ A nddoes the sunshine in your o in try?’ said the Chief: “ does’ the

rain fall there ; are there any cattle there which feed upon herbs and green grass ?” “ C e r ta in ly s a id Alexander. “ Ah. said the Chief, “ it is for the sake of these innocent cattle that the G reat Being permits the sun to shine, the rain to fall and the grass to grow in your country.”

G atarrMCatarrh of the Nasal Cavities, Acute,

Chronic, and Ulcerative, Hay Fever, or Rose Catarrh, Catarrh of the Eye and Ear and Catarrh of the Throat

RCCCESSFULLT TREATED WITH

SANFORD’S RADICAL CURE.ZYATARRH Is a disease or the mucous membrane. V Temperaments and constitutions vary its severity in Individual cases. Catarrh may arise from a cold or a succession or colds, from sudden change of atmos­phere. wearing wet clothing, or exposure to Inclement weather, and Decoming thoroughly chilled when the digestive organs arc In a morbid or inactive condition, and the strength and vital forces exhausted. The dis­ease may arise from ascrofulous condition of the blood, from Scarlet Fever. Measles, and Diphtheria. In which cases the eye and ear are generally Involved and dis­charge quantities of matter. The discharges from the nose, the distinctive feature in all catarrhal cases from whatever cause they arise,maybe thin andwatcry, and so acid os to cause redness and excoriation o r the skin with which they come in contact, or thick and yellow­ish. emitting a foul odor, or clear and white like tho white of an egg. There may bo an entire lack of secre­tion, the surfaceabelng dry aud feverleh.tho face, front and upper part of tho head f, iing uncomfortable, and as if it was encircled by n tight, unyielding hand. This latter phase is called Dry Catarrh. The free mattery discharges causo the passages to swell and become thickened, rendering breathing through the nose diffi­cult or impossible, and the sufferer finds It necessary to breathe through the mouth, thereby permitting cold nlr to pass directly to the bronchial tubes and lungs. The matter passing down tho throat creates a constant desire to hawk and expectorate to throw It off; but when the membrauo Is dry and feverish. Instead of passing freely down from tho nose and throat, the mu­cus becomes hard and forms into scabs, incrustations, and hard lumps, which adhere so firmly to tho nasal passages and throat as to require very persistent efforts to dislodge them. The eye In sympathy becomes in­flamed, red, weak, and watery, or In tho morning the lids may be found glued together, and matter Is se­creted In more or less quantity. Tho ear also becomes seriously affected, discharging quantities of matter, bo- sides being visited by the most violent neuralgic pains, ending frequently In inflammation, ulceration. and finally deafhess. The throat.bronchlal tubes, and lungs arc in many cases affected by catarrh, and when pros­tration of the nervous system Is superadded, such af­fections become alarming.

A brief survey of this most serious diseaso warns all who are afflicted with itto make speedy preparation for Its treatment before it becomes chronic. Tho advan­tages offered by Saxtokd's R adical C rux wo confi­dently believe arc to be found In no other remedy. Every step In its preparation, every line in tho direc­tions, mark it as a scientific remedy, calculated to meot every phase ot the disease. The numerous testimonial* from the best people In tho United States attest tho esteem In which it Is held by those who havo been freed from tho most destructive nnd dangerous disease with which mankind is to-day afflicted.

Ivy in Ferneries.

An English journal remarks: “ I t is a common thing to see in the houses of per­sons who do not give their minds to the matter, fern-cases without ferns, or with a few deplorable bits that, we are assured, will be very fine some day, but which too evidently will become smaller and soon disappear. That the planting and manag­ing of fern-cases is a very simple matter need not now lie insisted on. It is a fact that thousands of persons start fern-cases and aquariums, only to fail in some way or other; and it is more of a moral than a scientific question as to why and how it all happens. I wish to point out to all who possess fern-cases, and can make nothing of them, that they make capital ivy-gar­dens, and ivies will generally live in them without any management at all, provided they have light always and water occasion­ally. As a matter of course, the smallest- leaved ivies shonld be planted, and they should be nicely trained on wires. When a case filled with small-leaved ivies is do­ing well it is a charming object, and much to be preferred to one occupied hy two or three dying ferns.”

5Vhat an Old Man Has Noticed.

I have noticed tha t all men are honest when well watched.

I have noticed tha t purses will hold pennies as well as pounds.

I have noticed tha t in order to be a reasonable creature, it is necessary at times to be downright mad.

I have noticed that silks, broadcloths and jewels are often bought with other people’s money.

I have noticed tha t whatever is, is right, with a few exceptions—the left eye and the left leg and left side of a plum pudding.

I have noticed that the prayer of the selfish man is, “ Forgive us our debts,” while he makes everybody tha t owes him pay to the utmost farthing.

I have noticed that he who thinks every man a rogue is certain to see one when he shaves himself, and he ought, in mercy to his neighbor, to surrender the rascal to justice.

I have noticed that money is the fool’s wisdom, the knave’s reputation, the poor man’s] desire, the covetous man’s ambition and the idol of them all.

Flam e Flowers.

These plants have by their great beauty and vigor shown their own merits so elo­quently that there is no need for us to say a word in their favor. There may he other kinds to add to our collections, and rare ones to make more common, but otherwise Tritomas, or Flame Flowers as thev ruav be aptly called, have become accepted as among the treasures of our collections of hardy flowers. There ̂ s, however, some­thing still to be done as regards their ar­rangement. They are occasionally planted in excess, so as to neutralize the good effect they might otherwise produce, and they, like many other flowers, have suffered from being, like soldiers, put in straight lines and in other geometrical formations. It is only where a fine plant or group of plants is seen in some green glade that the true beauty of the Flame Flower is seen, es­pecially at some little distance off. Al­though not exactly belonging to the very free‘growing and extremely hardy genera of plants recommended for the wild gar­den, they are 60 free in many soils that they might with confidence be recommended for that purpose.—London Garden.

The Laurestinus.

One of the most satisfactory hard- wooded plants for winter-flowering is the laurestinus, Virbumum Tinus. The per­sistent, or ever-green foliage is thick and shilling, making it a very ornamental plant, even without its flowers. It grows erect and tree-like, and with hut little care it may always be in condition to garnish a room. In March and April it is usually a mass of bloom. The flowers are small, borne in clusters, are white, slightly tinged with red on the under or outside. The plant only reqnires a fresh, light, rich soil, good drainage, and moderate watering It is a plant that has long been in cultiva­tion. and is one of our especial favorites.— Vick's Magazine.

A Mi Who Can Run a Newspaper.

He stands in a saloon with his hack to the stove and tells how to run a news­paper ; how he would he independent as a hog on ice, and call things by their right nam e; how he would expose cor­ruption in high places ; how he would write good, sound, common-sense, and none of your frivolous, try-to-be funny stuff. Then he criticises other people’s methods of conducting newspapers, and just wishes somebody would give him a chance to show his journalistic ability. The way to cure one of these chaps is to get him to agree to write an article every day for a week. Before the week is out he is sure to he pumped dry, and will gape worse for an idea than a chick­en does with the pip.

Prepared Glue.

In half a pint of water in a wide­mouthed hottie put eight ounces of best glue, place the hottie iu water, ami heat until the glue is dissolved. Then stir slowly two and a half ounces of strong nitric acid. Cork tightly. Glue thus prepared is always ready for use, and may be applied to mending furniture, broken vessels, and other articles not ex­posed to water.

There have been many definitions, of a gentleman, but the prettiest and most pa-, thetic is that given by a young lady. “ A gentleman," says she, “ is a human being combining a woman’s tenderness with a man’s courage.”

An aged minister said to a young brother, “ Speak short. The brethren will tell you if yon don’t speak long enough.” The counsel is good for speakers and good for hearers, good for writers and good for readers. Length without breadth and thickness is a poor recommendation in a sermon, a prayer, or a newspaper article.

Buckwheat as a W indow-Plant.

A window-gardener has tried the experi­ment of using Buckwheat Plants in his window-boxes. Growing two-and-a-half feel high, it produces a handsome and odd appearance amid the other window-plants, of Coleus, Geraniums, and Cannes.

Cure for the Mealy-Bug on P lants.

An English gardener desiring to pre­serve bis plants and destroy the mealy-bug, thought of a trial of a dose of strong Scotch whisky. Applying, lie found it to be most effectual. He worked it in among the leaves, fruits, and flowers with a brush made of a few feathers. I t killed the ver­min at once. .

A Disagreeable Disease Avoided and Cured by its use.

The receipt for making this w onderful, remedy was obtained by Jam es J.Peavey , while living in Hon­olulu, Hawaiian Islands, where ho resided for more than twelve years.

Mr. Peavey, at that time, was suffering from catarrh, and with many doubts as to the curative properties of this remedy, he compounded a small quantity, and be- gau to use as directed. To his surprise and jov he found relief after the first trial, and in a short tinie he was entirely cured.

Mr. I’eavey aftei wards put this remedy up in small quantities and sold and gave it away to h h friends; but not until recently has lie consented to have it pre­pared and thoroughly introduced to the world. t It is a sure relief and cure for Catarrh in its worst

One trial of the remedy is its best testimonial. Sure relief is within the reach of all who are willing to give it a single trial.

It is harmless, convenient to take nt any time, nnd its good effects are sure [to be felt as soon as the rem­edy- is applied.

Ihir. is entirely different from any other snuff on the market, as every particle is dissolved as soon as it comes in contact with the delicate membraneous coat­ings that line the nasal passages, acting as it does di­rectly upon the mucus membrane.

Indeed, the Cherry Pectoral has really robbed these dan­gerous diseases of their terrors to a great extent, and given a feeling of Immunity from their fatal effects, that is well founded if the remedy be taken in season. Every family should have it in their closet for the ready and prompt relief of its members. Sickness, suffering, and even life is saved hy this timely pro­tection. The prudent should not neglect it, and the wise will not. Keep it by you for the protection it affords by its timely use iu sudden attacks.
