A Lovely Heavy W eight Brunette Fails to Mash Him.

S a l t Cay, T u iir ’h I r lA S li , Ju n e 28,1889.I intended to write you a letter from Barba-

does, on our arrivnl there, but we were there such a short time, I only had an opportunity to look nt the island from the deck of the schooner, so I don’t know much about it— only what I learned from the boatmen, of which there are an abundance. We sighted Southern Point light one evening about nine o'clock, and ran for it. Next morning we were in Bight of the island, but were struck by a severe squall and were obliged to put to sea again. The squall struck during the morning watch, while the captain was below for a bit of sleep. The mate was a trifle slow about discerning approaching squalls, and we got it solid with all sail set. The schooner dipped her rail completely under water, which is no small dip for a light vessel.

TRIS SHOOK OUT THE SKIPPER,

and he came on deck in something of a hurry. Rather an exciting scene prevailed for a while, but no harm was done, and at noon - we were safely anchored in the waters ol Carlisle Bay or Bridgetown Harbor. We were immediately besieged by boatmen, yelling at the top of their voices, and wanting to take some of us ashore sell us some fish, or do some little favor of that kind for us. None of them could visit us, or none of us could leave the vessel until the captain of the port had visited us. He soon ar rived, however. Then our captain went on shore, and the colored boys and men from “ bumboats” swnrmed on board with various articles for sale. I was soon full of bananas,and happier than I had been for a long time. Our engineer traded a plug of tobacco with one of the men for a jar of tamarinds, which he wanted for his sister. The price was two shillings or fifty cents. He used up my big stick of sealing wnx to seal it, and I really believe he kept it under his pillow every night fearing some of us would feloniously appropriate it, and deprive his sister of a valuable gift (rom this far away island. The island looked very pretty from the bay, (we were within half a mile of shore) There seemed to be an abundance of fruit trees.I had an opportunity to taste some of the fruits which a marketman gave me, when became on board with some stores for us.

CHOICE FRUIT.

They were very beautiful looking fruits, but I can’t say I enjoyed the taste of them, except ing the bananas,of which the captain purchased a large bunch, and they were the most delicious I ever ate. Among the other fruit were sugar apple, a mango, a sappedilio (if that isn’t spelled right please have it fixed, I forgot to ask how) and a water lemon. The three first mentioned are all verv sweet, and the mango is the only one that I enjoyed eating. The water lemon the young man recommended as being delicious, but I didn’t perceive it. If you would like to try one, take half a tumblerful of grape or apple seeds, add a t-ibiespoonfui, of tomato juice, and swallow it; to all intent und purposes you have eaten n water lemon.

THE HOME Op SALT.

At six o’clock we sailed for Turk’s Islnnds to load salt for Boston. We arrived at Grand Turk early on the morning of June 20th. An aged colored man boarded us shortly after we sighted the island, to pilot us in. There is no harbor. Vessels anchor under the lee of the land. As the wind usually blows from the same direction all the time it is quite safe. During certain seasons of the year the wind changes, and vessels are frequently obliged to get their anchors very suddenly and go to sea to avoid being blown on the reefs which are very numerous hereabout. The coast is very bold, as is usually the case about these coral islands. There is under our bow about twenty fathoms of water, .and under the stern the pilot says there is fully one hundred fathoms. We remained at Grand Turk but a few hours, then sailed here. This island, which is one of the group of Turks Islnnds, is second in size, and situated about twelve miles south of Grand Turk. A stevedore und his gung came on board to go with us to remove ballast and “ trim” salt. The stevedore is a tall slim brunette, with an extremely vivacious air, and a large mouth, which closely resembles a gash cut in a round of beef, owing I presume to the peculiar

p i t o p HIS UPPER L IP .

His most striking article of dress is a high landing collar which is several sizes smaller

than his shirt, but as it is not attached to the shirt at all, and is buttoned only at front it doesn't inerfere with the elegant tit of his shirt. He takes charge of the quarter and steers us to the “ Key,” as they call it. The next day the ballast was removed, the day following we were ready for salt. The salt is made from the wafer of the ocean, which is let into a pond in the centre of the island, where it remains uutil the action of the wind and sun have reduced it to one hundred degrees by the salometer, it is then run into smaller ponds, or vats, about two feel deep where it remains until the salt is formed. The water usually evaporates completely, leaving the eleun white crystals of salt ou the bottom of the vats. Sometimes, however, an inch of water remains, when the suit retains a piukish tinge. It is shoveled up and hauled out in donkey earts,and stored in bouses, or piled up in huge, heaps near the shore. Most of the houses here are so constructed that the cellar aud the first story is used as a store room for the salt, while the people live in the upper part. It is put up in bags containing half a bushel each, and loaded in small boats which take it to the vessels. The bags are thrown on board by hand, untied and dumped in the hold, one by one. This would seem a very slow process, but it is not. We took iu

•10,000 bushels in this way, in less than four days. The people here are mostly colored. The population is said to be about 500, but I thina that Is sort of a sort of a Chicago story. There are not more than twenty white people here. A paper is published at Grand Turk called

THE ROYAL GAZETTE.It is a four page paper, which when spread out is about the size of one leaf of T h e C o u r ie r - G a z e t t e . Terms #5 per year, published every Saturday afternoon. There arc three churches here at Salt Cay ; Baptist, Wesleyan and the English church. There are no clergymen here at present, and some of the brethren alternate in the pulpit. Although the people arc not very exquisite in matters of dress, n white shirt and Rbiny collar go a long way with them. I went on shore one day In my sea costume—flannel shirt, etc., and called on nn old lady to buy some shell flowers. She sized me up carefully and inquired if I was one of the sailors. She didn’t invite me in. Next day I dressed up a bit and cnllcd to get the work she hnd made for me, and she cordially invited me into her sitting room, and asked me if I owned tlint vessel. Said she was sorry she had no better room to take me in, but the gale of last September

BLEW THE ROOT OFFHer drawing room, and she had been unable to have It repaired. She is a very pleasant English lady. She was born and has always lived here. She and her sister are living alone. They make their living mainly by the manufacture of shell flowers. She has taught most of the colored girls the art, and although she excels them in tboir work, they have injured the business very much by cutting prices.

a Tu r k ’s is l a n d pooh r a h .One of the most genuine pictures of absolute

contentment I have seen for many a day is one of the Customs officials here, a very corpulent colored gentleman. He always has lived here and hopes he always will. In addition to being a clerk in the Custom House, he is chief of police, jail keeper and holds several other “city” ofSees, lor which service he receives #12.50 per month. He also officiates as pastor of the Wesleyan church. He has a very good sized family, there being, ns he says: “ some thirteen or fourteen” of them.

One evening we went on shore wtih our stevedore. We went to call on a white family, and he instructed us where to find him when we wished to return. We finished our call at about ten o’clock and started in search of “ York” (his name is York Wm. Smith) We finally heard the sounds of music,and knowing York’s fondness for dancing went to the house from which the sounds came and found a very lively kitchen dance in progress. The floor was rather small, only two couples being able to dance at one time. York was always half of one couple. At the close of each dance be would wander up to the table on which various refreshments were spread, and shout: “ Walk up gen’leman an’ treat your ladies!” Then he would set up a hottie of pineapple beer, and the

MAD WALTZ WOULD AGAIN CONTINUE.

York was the only one of the dancers who aspired to the style of wearing shoes, and during the progress of an unusually lively jig he actually danced off both shoes and stockings. But trifles like that did not interfere with the dance nt all. I deeply regretted that I didn't know how to dance, particularly when a beau, tiful colored girl, weighiug not an ounce less than two hundred, came over and sat down beside me, for although I’m no masher, I think that damsel wouldn’t have hesitated to co through a waltz, with me, but I didn’t know how, and I didn’t dare to trifle with her. The Orchestra rendered some very excellent selections. It was composed of four pieces: an accordion, a tamborine, a triangle and a common band saw. This last named instrument was played by drawing a knife blade across its teeth. The lender informed me that they sometimes use a very large saw which makes “ beautiful” music, but requires a great deal ol muscle to manipulate it. York is a great gossip, and as full of scandal as an egg is of meat. Everyone who comes here is entertained with the exploits of the captain who was here before him. If the captain, who fell in the salt pond one night on his way home from a dance, happens to read this, let him not be alarmed— we will never tell. During our stay here we have had a very large family to feed, to the great displeasure of our cook, who is a colored gentleman, and one might suppose he would he very happy here among his brethren, but the North seems to suit him much better and be declares he never was so happy in his life as when he saw "dem dar fellers goin’ over de side for de las'time.”

It is pretty hot here at this season, although the thermometer registers only about ninety. Yet it is steady heat all duv. We are all glad to be on our way into cooler weather agaiu.

The lower branches of trees allowed to over- bang the sidewalks in many places in our city cause great inconvenience to p.destrians. Why not trim up your trees, neighbor ?

ROUNDABOUT

Tour of Our Rapidly Growing City.

It requires a great deal of flving about sometimes to get the news and Roundabout found it so in getting up the paper of last Tuesday, as the week represented in that issue was a week ol especial stirring about. Wednesday Roundabout went to Owl’s Head, Asb Point and South Thomaston. Thursday noon he went to Northport and Thursday night to Belfast, arriving back in Rockland Friday noon in time to take the train for Noblcboro where the afternoon was spent. Saturday a trip to Rock port completed Roundabout's news travels for the week.

Many anecdotes are told of the late "Judge” Johnson. G. F. Meservey, in the first of his playing for dances, played with the old “Judge ” He sb.vs that he wasagood violinist and played in good time and tune. When he came down on “dal O. string" as the “ Judge” would remark he meant business. His calling oir was frequently interpolated with other suggestions and commands that added great variety to bis remarks.

“All hands round ! (Shut dat door!")“Ladies chain ! (Who frew dat slipper?")"Swing partners!” (De man dat Crow dat

pie is no gemmen !”)But the “Judge” was always a "gemmen"

himself, and many friends in this city hold the old gentleman in respectful remembrance. He was always grateful for favors extended to him. Two or three years ago, Christmas, George W. Case, who has thoughtfully looked out for the old gentleman the past few years, quietly went around among his friends and got money and provisions for a Christmas dinner for the old man, und more, too i The turkey was taken into him, nicely cooked, with all the fixin’s, and never was there a more grateful man! He seemed elevated several notches to think that "de best people in de city hadn’t forgot de ol’ man.”

Roundabout bas the interests of our city at heart, ami on his travels keeps several of his eyes wide open, and if he criticises, he does it not in a fault-finding way. but because fair criticism is always desirable. Our custom house and postofflee is a handsome structure and one creditable to our city. Our attention was called the other day to the arrangement of the scanty grounds around it and a suggestion made. If nothing is to be done by Uncle Sam towards beautifying that vacant grass plot east of the building we beg permission to repeat the suggestion, which strikes us as very good one.

Let the road east of the building be discontinued and another road made in its place at the eastern side of the grass lot, passing close back of the blocks. This would give the occupants of the blocks a rear entrance and exit, and would serve to do away with all.the rubbish now eollcetcd there. To accommodate the mail wagons a road could be laid out from the center of the proposed rond to the eastern entrance of the postofflee. With an iron fence continued down Limerock and School streets, and around the lot, there would be u very pretty little grassy field for a front to the building, the public would be better convened, und the looks of our custom house improved.

A trip about town Friday brought to light many evidences of the spirit of improvement which pervades our people, and grading and sodding are in progress on every band. But It scents to us that in many eases this work of improvem ent is wrongly directed. It seems the prevailing custom to adorn grounds with sharp embankments rather than with graceful slopes or rounded corners. The slope and curve to our critical eye is more beautiful and certainly is more durable. The grass on sharp edge embankments always dies off and discolors in times of drouth, and it is an expensive jolt to keep it intact, as the wind will destroy it, if dogs and other creatures let it alone. As for us give us not exacty liberty, but give us the graceful curve and emerald slope.

Now and again, while the spirit of fault-finding moves us, let us remark that this whole system of rounding or building up cemetery lots is a wrong one. If the lots were all on a level with grass sown, kept smooth und velvety by the frequent use of lawn mowers it would be far preferable to the succession of embankments und mounds of varying altitudes und designs, dependent upon the taste or lack of taste of the landscape gardiner employed.

And once again, while the Jameson Point cemetery is • being improved in spots there is need of something in the way of general improvements there. The city another year, should appropriate a certain sum of money to right up the stones, and clear up such lots us need improvements and have no one to do it.A few hundred dollars judiciously expended would work wonders there.

EDITORIAL CHAT.

'Nother baseball umpire killed! Darlington, S. C. is the place. One of the plnycrs hit him with a bat. It was a base hit.

Everv town and city has its unsavory locality but Rockland. New York has its Five Points, Portland its Commercial street. Belfast its Puddle Dock and Wnldoboro its Dntch Neck. Rockland’s “Point” was at one time in bad repute, but nowadays is getting real sedate.

Chief John Grass of the Blaekfeet Indians is seriously ill. Here’s a rich chance for newspaper publishers. Something nbout the grass dying under the blaekfeet, or going to grass, or something of that sort. We can't work it in properly, but can hit at it. Let the Portland^ Advertiser get at it.

It seems to ns that the various associations, whether they be Grand Army, musical, family or others that hold annual reunions anywhere on the seaboard or Knox, Lincoln or the western portion of Sagadahock counties, could not possibly find a more central and convenient place than the Nohleboro campground.

The Portland Express pats Orono upon the shoulder in its editorial columns in this manner: “Orono is congratulating itself over its prospect of having a new shoe factory established within its town limits very speedily, and will shortly hold a special town meeting to consider what privileges it can grant the enterprise. This is the right spirit, and reflects credit upon our neighbors in the interior. They appreciate the fact that the live manufacturing industry is worth having, and propose to do all they can to induce manufacturers to locate there. What Maine needs today is thousands of small manufacturing enterprises utilizing her vast water power. No state possesses finer, and our people arc beginning to appreciate the fact."

IN D EFEN SE.

A Word in Behalf of a Once Powerful Organization.

Because the once powerful organization of Knights ot Labor is rapidly melting away, some papers, the New York Tribune for instance, are declaiming ngninst the folly and uslessness of labor orfanizations generally. The expense of strikes and the hardships resulting are of course all summed up in the indictment against the Knights. But why could not all this be said of the Army of the Potomac and with even more amplitude of detai ? It cost a good deal; it involved the country in great debt and many hardsips, and it has disbanded. It certuinly accomplished lasting results; but so has the organization of labor. Neither of the two forces now in comparison won every battle; but unless one has an antipathy to labor organizations amounting to a personal prejudice he can hut see that the amount of force and executive ability that labor organizations have learned to marshal and wield have made an impression on the minds of the influential classes who have hitherto had pretty much their own will and way in managing affairs. Laws relnting to the protection of life and limb in manufactories; importation of contract laborers; regulation of railway tariffs; limitation of hours of service in mills, and education and care of children employed in factories; establishment of labor bureaus of statistics, etc., have not indeed a direct origin from the organization of the Knights, but were borne into existence on the same popular uprising as found on embodiment in that particular form. With all that was violent and objectionable in it there was an immensely educative forco operating through that Association. Many who could else by no manner of means have been induced to read and reflect on the subjects of political ami industrial economy, u knowledge of which is of the first importance to intelligent American citizenship, have been influenced to study them by the strong current of interest universally awakened by the Knights of Labor movement. And in consideration of the strong hand with which the order dealt with those tendencies to Anarchy which displayed no little force at one time the Republic may thunk its stars, if it Is not proverbially ungrateful, that there was so controlling an element of law abiding citizenship in the body which the Tribune und others are so anxious to kick.

It will be a task worthy of the best historical and literary talent extant in the land to give to the world a faith!ul und impartial history of the order whose day is declining. Such a survey should comprehend many results not inteuded and yet powerfully Influenced by this central force of the industrial revolt. Meanwhile let it be duly observed that if another period of public indifference to the special needs of the labor element of the land shall arrive, it may be expected that a new organization, ditfering chiefly in name, but animated by the same spirit, good or evil, disciplined by the experience of the Knights of Labor,will make its irresistible demands on the plutocrats who assume to run this country.

The Casco Loan tv Buildiug Association ol Portland has made 51 loans since its organization, Feb. 11, 1SSS. The 51 loans will aggregate a suu) over #11,000. Many workingmen have built homes where it would have been intpossble but for the aid received from this association, aud it can easily be seen that Portland has been greatly benelitted.

In another column appears an abstract of the able sermon delivered in the M. E. church Sunday of last week by the pastor, Rev. C. S. Cummings, the subject being that of the value of a public library from a religious standpoint T h e C.-G. has this matter deeply at heart and holds up lioth hands in endorsement of the clear-eut arguments there presented. Rock land needs a public library, and the rank and file our of people will do their part and rush the matter along with a Rockland swing it some

•of our inlluential citizens will show their sympathy and interest in a substantial way. The offer of a room free of rent for the depositing of such books as may lie donated would be a good starter. Tuu C.-O. has a donation of volumes already fur the lilirray, and will add to it its valuable collection of curiosities worth several thousands of dollars to add interest to such a room hoping that in time to come a building will be erected containing library und natural history rooms. We're in for the library to the extent of our 3100 circulation.

LOST AT SEA .

The Strange Disappearance of the Captain of a Thomaston Schooner.

Schooner Grace Andrews of Thomaston, lumber-laden from Mobile, arrived in New York Saturday in charge of the mate und reported the loss u f the captain, James Young of St. George. The schooner left Mobile 34 days ago. The passage was a long and weary one, head winds and heavy seas making it almost impossible to gain progress. On August 29 James Powers, aged 50, a seaman and a native of Philadelphia, was lost overboard from the afterhouse. This event had a very depressing effect on the captain's spirits, together with the great length of the voyage, which was 15 days longer than usual, llis fretting and worrying had a bad effect on his health as well, und he is said to have acted very strangely.

On Thursday night,’ while the schooner was oil’ Long Brunch, heading for New York, it shut down very thick and dark. The mate and crew went forward to haul the sheet, leaving the captain nt the wheel. When they returned he was nowhere to lie found. It was hardly possible that he could have been knocked over by the boom or dragged over by the sheet. It was not rough enough for him to have been washed overboard. Taking his previous mental condition into consideration it was thought possible that he had in reality committed suicide.

One of Capt. Young’s oldest friends scouted the idea that he had committed suicide, Sunday when told of the disappearance. He said that the Captain was a man of remarkably even temper, and not disposed to lie discouraged by trifles. • lie leaves a wife und child, who live at St. George. He was about lorty-seven years old. He had no pecuniary interest in the Grace Andrews, and was only taking charge of her at a monthly salary in the absence of her regular commander, Capt. Andrews, who was remaining at home on a vacation. Snow ft Burgess, who are the agents of the vessel, immediately telegraphed to Capt. Andrews to come and take charge of his vessel.

Capt. Young was highly respected and his untimely death is a sad one to the community in which he lived.

The knees supporting the upper deck beams were split, anti there was a space of about a foot between the plunk shear and the outside of the crushed planking. A big chain encircled the engine cylinder and held in place the exhaust pipe connecting the cylinder and condenser. The pipe was broken off at the joint, and a lot of rope ruveilittgs were wound around the break to prevent the steam from escaping. On this account the Miller will muke no trip this week. ------ —.< •--------------

A WONDERFUL ( I RE.

SnfTered 15 years. Paid out One Tlion- smiil Dollars for Help to be Disappointed. Cured at Lust with Bell’s Sarsaparilla.

Mr. T . T . Lane of Lane’s Livery and Sale StableHarlow Street, Bangor, gives the following tru e story of his experience with Bell’s S arsap arilla : “ I have suffered with D yspepsia fifteen years. A t times it would be so had that I could not lie dow n. I would cough and feel as though I had A sthm a. My stomach sour and filled w ith gas and pain. Everything I would eat would h u rt me. I could not sleep. My food would so broil up in my th ro a t and choke me. I have paid o u t m ore than a thousand dollars for help, which I did not get un til I heard of Belt’s Saisapurilla and commenced to use it. I commenced to improve before the first boKle was gone and have steadily grow n better by taking the Sarsaparilla until I call m yself well. I can eat any kind of food. Sleep well and suffer no pain whatever. / would recom m end every one who h a t a fstomach trouble to tr y th is medicine.'* Sold everywhere, 50c per bottle.—A. M.

The Great Need from a R eligious Standpoint.

The following is an abstract of an able sermon delivered in the M. E. Church Sunday Sept. 4, by the pastor, Rev. C. S. Cummings The text was Isaiah 33.fi: "Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of the times."

The text applies to the times in which we live as well ns to all time. Without contro versy we live In the most favored country earth. In our country there is no better state than Maine. In Maine there is no better place to live than Rockland for various reasons We have a temperature unsurpassed, the purest of water, consequently no prevailing diseases a very common spirit in society, a large nutu Iter ot business men who attend and support the different churches, and a progressive spirit in the community generally. There is one institution that we need to have borne to us on this wave of progress and that is a public library.

We need it because of the alarming prevalence of bad literature. Unclean papers nnd books are thrust in at our doors, held in our faces on the railway trains, exhibited in shop windows, handed to us in the barber shops, in fact are everywhere, and the number is increasing. What is the result ? A corrupted imagination, secret vice, polluted love, broken homes, and blighted minds. A public library will counteract the influence and practice of bad reading in a latge measure. More can lie done Io direct the current than Io stop it. We create a thir-t for reading in our schools; w most provide a pure and lawful channel lor it exercise. It a person has an appetite lor a ■oiv paper or book we must elevate the appetite T ills alone will ettre the evil.

Because of the change in the manner of carrying on the vatious occupations. Once the occupation largely educated. It is not so now. Once a blacksmith bad mental stimulus in manufacturing various articles by hand. Now a nail is made by thrusting a bar of iron into a machine. Men work year in nnd year out feeding a machine that makes pin heads. Once a woman could lake the wool and tnanu- laclure it into cloth, and a man make leather into shoes. This was an education in itself. Now they s’mid before machines that make different parts of tiicse articles, giving no exercise to thought, imagination, nor invention We must provide for the mental occupation and instruction of the masses.

Because the tendency of our civilization i to make the few intellectual at the expense of the many. Different things are advertised a -•easy." Men travel around the world now without the mental stimulus of taking (bought for anything: the man who planned the tour had the benefit of that. “Full directions” go with everything that is sold. Fven the Chris- linn has ceased to study the Bible utnl depends noon the various “helps" that other mind have wrought ou’. We get clothing and food and ideas “ ready made" and lose aii the mental occupation and education tliut come from making our own. Is there not, therefore, a constantly ir creasing need of a public library tiiar the minds of people in general may hav< onportunity for development:

From a Christian standpoint the need is rcadi ly seen. Christianity and education go to • other. We need to concent: ate the light of all ilie ages on our creeds. General intelii g .ate keeps men from bigotry and jc .lousy. What was it that kept Europe in war and strife a thousand jeirs? It was the absent of any enmprcbem ve understanding of the univeisc, nations and men. Men knew but little and counted every stranger an enemy. Religion without ir.'.elligcnce makes bigots and bigots have cursed ihe church more than inti- tle.s. The more valuable the truth the more knowledge there should be of its proper use. Faith without knowledge leads to superstition. It was not the need of more religion so much as Hie need of more in.'oimalioh that made Salem wileberaft possible. The diffe eat dc nominations, pari i s and nations will hav mote love for one another when they have : larger knowledge of one another’s history. A pub'ic library will lift up the whole communi-

Education deb r.nines the power of individual life. An idiot may have as strong a body and as pore a he. rt as a wise man. but the difference is wholly mental. One hindrance to religions work is there are so few who care for it. The Lord said some s ed fell where it had not much deepness of ea.lh. There are enough who are leedy to attend parties und entertainments, to eat and drink, bat ideas make their heads ache. Anything val- UHbic means thought, thought means brain, li-'i-n means training and intelligence.

What a public lib a v would do: it would cuimaie a ta s te lut Iii.e llee tual th in g s . H igh grade enter-linnnnts und lectures ought not to gu lieggim’ while chi-up shows are crowd’d. A city of this size ought to graduate more than one boy a year from its High School.It would put within reach of the common pio- ple the li erature of the world. Burnham the great astronomer of Lick Observatory was awakened to study the heavens hv looking at a map of the stars which lie purciiu. ■ d at an auction sale of old books for 2.3 cents. There ate many minds lying dormant only wil ting lor contact with some other mind to fertilize them and make them powerful. it would Ining to our city the great and the good of nil ages. When iLe low novel and story paper come fiends eon-e. But it would take none of I ' l e a i t s o l neciomaney to have Plato instinct us in pbtlosooh - or Socrates in wisdom, to l ave iion-er recite again his match! ss i. terns, to have the poets sing to us, and the historians u-il its the stories of the past. Association with these minds elevates. God has made but one Honor, and one Shakespeare, and one Miltrn. It would give people something of p< rn-unent value. T ue reatli.ig of most people is the daily paper. This is well but it lias no permanent vi lue. When twentv'-four hoots old it is out ot print und unsalub.e. A book has but little in i. of value unless it would be worth leading again in fifty years from now. It would exalt intellect. Our civilization lepresents so tuueb brain power. Once a lurge body was everything. The Gt-et in heroes fike Saul weie giants. But we are not 1st look “on the ite’ght of stature." Mind blesses tlie world. We should make litis an attractive centre for literary men and women.

How can a library lie established r We m.ght have a lib’ary association formed io put their best thought upon the subject and advise pluns. Suppose the city voted a thousand dollars for a nucleus. More money would he forihi oming. Some of our citizens might found a lice public library. What an opportunity here to become imperishable! The name of the one who founds this tuslitulion will live forever. How much better than a cold heartless stone creeled in the eeineleiy ? 'lue age will come when tlie grave will lie oveigi'ttwn and not'd n upon nod the monument disappear before the tooth ol lime, but whoever founds a public library will have a name pronounced by Hie lips oi generations io come, a fame as imperishable as tlie earth and an iiiiiueuee for good that eternity alone can meascre.

The Annual Gatherings of R elatives and Friends.

THE PATSOXS.

The Paysons io the number of 200 assembled at the residence of Geo. W. Payson, East Union, Wednesday. It was their seventh annual reunion and has become so popular that ils members look forward to it from year to year with great pleasure. Many of the relatives only see one another at these gatherings, and they prize the privilege very highly indeed. Here they meet their dear ones, clasp the friendly hand, look into smiling faces and engage in earnest conversation pertaining to t tpics nearest their hearts. Some love to talk ot the olden times, some of the present with its blessings, some of ibeir sorrows for loved ones gone, nnd others of the "sweet by and by."

It is n good time and place to get ebeer, strength, sympathy and love. The idea of family reunions is a grand one.

There were present C. H. Folsom nnd wile of Palmyra, and Mrs. A. C. Spooner ot Dexter, who had never before met any of their Payson relatives They were much surprised to find so many and much gratified to form so ninny new and pleasant acquaintances. A letter was received and read from John P. Payson of Chelsea, Mass., the historian of tlie Payson family. He has traced them back 800 years. All the I’aysons in America sprang from one Edward Payson, who came from England and landed in ltoxbury, Mass., in 1030.

Geo. W. Payson was elected President for the ensuing year; A. W. Payson, Secretary and Treasurer. G. M. Payson of Hope, N. I). Payson of Union and ii. B. Payson of Warren were elected a committee to locate the place of the next reunion, and to choose the necessary committees ot arrangements and entertainments. D. A. Payson of Hope, a prominent member of this family ha- passed on since the last reunion, having died in April '89. Remarks were made by Rev, J. D. Pay- son of Union, F. W. Smith of Rockland. E. A. Payson, Morrill, C. H. Folsom, Palmyra, llenry Payson, Montville, Mrs. M. A. Vogler, So. Hope. Excellent music was turnisbed by F. L. Munslicld, K. P. Fish and others.

F. W. Smith.THE WILEYS.

The second reunion ol the Wiley Family was held at the home of Seth Wyllie, Warren, Aug. 28. There were present about 130. representing four generations. All enjoyed a pleasant time.

District No. G has bought their lumber and will soon have their walk laid. We must wake up in our District or we shall be falling behind with our sidewalk. There are two ways to lay a walk—one to lay it crosswise by sawing the plunk up in short strips and having (ringers to lay it on, and one to lay it length

wise of the plank which I think w ill be about one-third less work and will not cost near as much and he much et • ier to walk on as the plank varies in thickness ; also paint the ends of the plank where they butt together on the crosspieces with cheap paint or tar. The opinion of ihe correspondents of this paper would he thankfully received.

The three masted schooner in the yard of Carleton, Norwood A Co., at Rockport, will lie launched the lust ot September, or early in October. They have also the frame out for a ship of almost 2000 tons to be built soon.

The dredging machine Plymouth Rock is doing good work and a channel will be made on the westerly sid of the harbor seventy-five feet wide. When at the lime kiln it will be narrowed down to fifty feet. The depth will he ten and one-hulf feet at low water.

“ My Last N ight at Fredericksburg.’’

The following is a portion of a poem read at the last 4th Maine reunion by the author, Col. Elijah Walker:On F redericksburg 's Held, when fell th e night.W e reckoned our dead of th a t dreadful fight,And for (hose we held, o f a score and two,We hastened the last sad rites to do.

No pains could w e tak e Io m ark the spo t,—It was near the place w here we fiercely fought, Now seven nnd tw enty years ngo;I can see them yet, tltere lying low.

Yes, there lay our major, loved and true ,As brave ns any who wore the blue;B ut we lelt him not on th a t far off plain,A nd he sleeps today 'nea th the so ifo f Maine.

And he for whom all had a kindly w ord,G eorge B ourne, a lieutenant, whose trusty sword Had carved for Its hearer a niche in fam,-,W ould ne 'er again follow w ar’s orifinmme.

Y et not for him could a grave tie made,Since ills form from the foe we could not save;But eighteen com rades w ere laid in earth ,W ith many a trib u te to each one 's w orth.

W ide, tiut not deep, Ihe grave wns made,W herein , In the ir b lankets, o u r men we laid,W ith prayers sincere, though they were not loud, W hile tea rs fell fast on each hum ble shroud.

Then the earth was heaped, w ith decent haste.O ’er tit its th e ir d rear last resting place.T itus ending tile work o f tha t dreadful day,A nd we now w ere ready to steal aw ay.

T hen , for five hours more I walked Hint h ill— O f war I felt that I’d had my till,—B ut until o u r fiag should float suprem e,I knew tint t o f peace we could only dream .

- the ip ickets collected, the line found righ t, 'To cross the river before daylight W as the one grand object fo’r which we sough t, A nd to w hich ou r endeavors w ere duly brought.

“ B ack, hoys, to the road across the hill;B - prom pt and o rderly , sure and still."And tin- men obeying, w ith tru st com plete,I thought we should m ake a good re trea t.

Quickly we left that fatal ridge,T h e river to cross by tne pontoon bridge,B ut, arriv ing there, w hat did I find?T h at two hundred men had " s tra g g le d ” behind.

"fw ns not to be thought - there.

To Ihe chance of the enemy's 8o, tu rn ing hack lor the hoys I found them a h alf a m ile av

could leave themtender

d ray ,■ay.

Then back to tlie bridge, at a pace not slow,I forced those -'e rran t kn igh ts” to go,W ho, am idst tlie rest, tlie river crossed,A nd not one of the th ird co rps’ pickets was lost.

Since that aw ful night ninny te a rs have passed, A nd my hair und heard are w hiten ing last;But while life remains I shall ne’er forget T lie hoys th ere left,—nor tlie hoys here m et.

Stranger—“ Beg pardon, ntadnin, for calling you to the door, hut will you be kind enough to tell mo who that ignorant, vulgar, commonplace woman in the house across the wav is.”

Mrs. Gabb—"T hat is Mrs. Stuckup.”"Stuckup. Thank you. I must re

member the name so as not to waste any time on liPf in the future. How did such a hopelessly ignorant woman get on this very respectable street. I wonder?'’

"I 'm sure I don't know. I called on her once, but she never returned it, tint! that ended our acquaintance, you maybe sure, the odious tiling.”

"I should say so. Why, that woman wouldn’t know a lady from an ourung- outang, she wouldn’t know a bright spoon from a black one. I t’s an nctual fact, it isn’t five minutes since she said she had never heard of the Skiltigh silver polish; and when I even went to the trouble io brighten a spoon fot her she said it looked just the same. Never saw such ignorance. I suppose you have a lways used tlie Skihigli polish of course. You have the bright, ehery, beautiful appearance of ladies who do, but perhaps your supply is most out, and in that ease—”

"I believe it is. I will tak a package.”

" I t comes in cans, madam. One dollar please. Thank you.”

"One night ns I was about to leave the office,” said a Toronto hotel keeper, “ I noticed a man coming down stairs with his hag in his hand. Ho was s taring straight ahead, looking at nothing just like a three-weeks-old baby. 1 followed him till he reached the outside door, anil then eunght him by the collar.”

‘\Vhn—w ha—what’s tho m atter?’ he gasped, acting just like a man who had been suddenly uwakened.

“ ’Oh, nothing,’ said I, ‘whc-ra are you going?’

" ’Why, am 1 not in bed?’ he exclaimed.

" ’Not at this present m om ent,’ I replied.

" -I must have been asleep,’ he m urmured, looking like a dog that lias been caught in tho act of chasing sheep.

“ -May lie you were,’ said 1, -but you can het the am ount of your unpaid hill that I'm w ideaw ake.’ S o l brought him hack to the cashier’s desk, and nitnle him settle up. Then the porter and I thoroughly awoke him by kicking hi in out."

Thom pson’s Fears: I’eterson—I say, Thompson, d idn’t you talk to mu at one time of going to the war? Thom pson— Hush! Keep quiet! "W hat do you mean?'' “ If T anner gets wind of it he will figure out that tlie (lovernm entow es me #20,000 hack pension money and brag about it in the papers, and my creditors will gobble it up. Don’t say anything about it.”—Texas Siftings.

An eccentric clergyman in Cornwallh id been much annoyed by a way the members of his congregation had gotten into of looking around to take stock of late customers. After enduring the annoyance for some time lie said, on entering the reading desk one day: "B rethren, I regret to see that jo u r a ttention is called away from your i t ig- ious duties by your very natural desire to see who comes in behind you. I propose, henceforth, to save you the trouble by nam ing each person who may enter, nnd I hope that the service will then be allowed to proceed without in terruption .” He then began: "D early beloved." hut paused halt way lo interpolate, "F a ther Stuhbins, with tiis wife anti daughter.”

Farm er Stubhins looked ra ther su rprised. but tlie minister, with p i feet gravity , resumed bis exhortation. Presently lie again paused, "Sam Curtis and William H iggle.” The abashed congregation kept their eyes studiously bent on their books. The service proceeded in tint most orderly m anner, tlie parson interrupting liimselt every now ami then lo name some newcomer. At last lie said, still with the same perfect g ravity : "M rs. Symons of the lied I,Inn. in it new bonnet." i n a moment lie felt liis m istake, but it was too late. Every feminine head in the congregation had turned round.

Thoughtlessness That W ounds.

Are nny of the Indies who read this column troubled with people who tell ju s t what they think regardless of good manners? I spent six weeks last summer on a farm with a friend, whose home lay oil' the main road some little distance, but for all that it had many attractions. Mountain scenery, beautiful shade troes, flowers in profusion and what is of far more importance to the farmer, broad smooth fields sloping to the bank of one of Maine's largest rivers, where we fished and picknicked. These were the attractions that made my visit delightful with no lonely hours. My friend wns bright, active, intelligent, and relined.

One day we had callers and ns they were about to depart, one exclaimed, "IIow can you live here! I should think you would die! I wouldn’t live hero lor anyth ing .”

After they had gone 1 asked if callers ever talked like that before. "O ! yes,” said my friend, "very often. The other day a friend told me the first time she ever called here she thought it was the worst place she was ever in. anil once a caller said she wouldn’t live hero for 850,000. O lyes, I hear it real often.I know it is rude and unfriendly hut can't suppose they know any better so excuse them .”

“ Hut don’t it ever hurt your feelings?’I asked.

"W ell, to bo honest, she replied, “ of course it does, hut I think it over. Their homes are no better than mine. I think every place has iis advantages just as we have our virtues and our faults. I don’t know what their motives are but. I do know one thing, 1 will never knowingly hurt another’s feelings by speaking of their homes and surroundings in a disparaging manner. I have had people make a point of telling me my things were’ unbecoming. I have had my feelings hurt so many times that it has been a lesson to mo I shall never forget,”

After my friend stopped speaking 1 wondered if there was not some way in wich wo all could not learn “ As ye men should do unto you do ye even unto them ,” without suffering her unpleasant experience.

T H E H A BIT OF SAVING.Chicano Tribune.

I called at the savings bank one day last month to deposit my little dollar for a rainy day, and was preceded at the window by a ra ther well-dressed young man who was just m aking, as he afterward told me, his regular monthly deposit, and all in dimes. He had a lot of them losse in a canvass hag, and the teller’s rem ark that he should put them in packages to faoillitate his work, called my attention to the fact While waiting we fell conversing about saving money, etc. He volunteered me the information that the way he saved his money was by never spending a dime under any circumstances, and preceded at some lengtli to toll mo of various sacrifices he had made rather than break a dime. Hu informed mu that he hud even walked homo, and he lives on Thirty-tifth street. I|ihough that was currying it a little too tar, but determined to try it for a while,

just for the novelty it afforded. As a result 1 have saved on an average $2 90 out of every 810 I have received since starting, and believe tha t il you place aiy experience in your paper, it may meet the eye of otlier young fellows, who, as I have been in the habit of doing, spend their earnings about as fast as they gel them. I have denied myself a cigar rather than spend a dime. It's a habit easy to acquire and like most habits, good or bad hard to break. At this game you are always a winner, and those who see this article amt try it will feel as 1 do, grateful to the person who conceived tiie idea. Try it onee, and if you donl'i soon become convinced tha t it is a good scheme why you are nothing out hut prohuhly ahead.

Pay as you go.Never “ fool” in business matters.Learn to think ami act for yourself.Do not kick everybody in your path.Keep abend rather than behind the

times.Don’t stop to tell stories in business

hours.Use your own brains rather than those

of others.Have order, system, regularity and

promptness.Do not meddle with business you know

nothing of.A man of honor respects his word as

he does his bond.If you have a place of business be

found when wanted.No man can get rich by sitting around

stores or saloons.Learn to say no. No necessity of

snapping it out dog fashion, hut say it firmly and respectfully.

Help others when you can, but never give wiiat you cannot afford to, simply because it is fashionable.

Hon. Sidney Deuit was greeted on Sunday by a large, intelligent and highly appreeiativel uudience. It is no wonder that where he is* known he draws such crowded gatherings. There are very few men who are his equal in points of experience, intelligence und power, particularly on a theme which concerns and interests all thinking people viz. the immortality of the soul of man, the rise, progress atjib destiny id'the human lumilv. It was indeed f rich intellectual treat. Many ol our first eit:' zens attended the lectures and many were the expressions of praise which fell from'their lips at the close of the services. Seldom has a mun of such depth of thought und su' h a wonderful faculty ot expressing soul stirring truths visited our city. He is sincere and honest and lull of sympathy and love for his fellow man.I Such a man will do great good in any community and the world would be better if there were more such.

On the Sawdust and Tan Bark—Sport W ith the Sphere.

The Rocklands played a second game of ball with the Portlands Tuesday, which was far more interesting than Monday’s game. The home nine led in the first part of the game by their heavy batting, but poor out- fielding allowed the visitors to gain the lead, which they maintained for the remainder of the game. Ladd tirst occupied the box for the Portlands, but he was batted heavily and guve way to Ross who did very well Gray’s re-appearance in the box was' hailed with delight by the spectators, among whom he is a general favorite. After one inning of wildness, he pitched a good game until the sixth inning, when his recent illness began to take elfect, and lie was replaced by Hyler, who was not batted to any great extent and who received very poor support from the out- tield. For the visitors the playing of third base, short stop and first-base was fine, While the catching ot Woodbury was tip top. The feature of the home team’s playing was the splendid foul catch of Simonton, the playing at short and batting of Winslow, und the first base work of II. Howard. Both teams were very evenly matched und had the home nine played its usual game the result would have been different. The score was 17 to 13.

SACRIFICE HITS.Simonton is the only player on the Rock

land nine who has made a home run this season. He has made six.

The Rocklands have played 23 games, winning 16 losing 7. They" have won as follows : From Camden, 7, Warren, I, Thomaston, Vinalbaven, Rockland Manf'g. Co., Rockland Mail Carriers and Belfast, 1 each. They have lost: Warren, 4, Portland, 2 and Bangor 1.

In Wednesday’s Bangor-St. John game, Small and Blackington, both of whom played on the latter nine, made home runs.

The Belfasts will be here Saturday, the 14th. Knowlton and Dilworth will be the battery for Belfast. Simonton and Grey for Rockland.

A goodly numberof Rockland people took In the Eastern Fair at Bangor last week. It is needless to say the fair was a perfect sucrcss. The attendance was very large and the weather just beautiful although quite hot. The Bangor people are fortunate in having this permanent institution with them bringing in as it does many shekels of silver to traders, hotels nnd others. The hills that a stranger is obliged to climb develop the calf of the leg wonderfully while the fine electric cars afford easy transportation for those who do not care to be developed.

Capt. Chapman of the Bangor House took good care of the great crow-ds that thronged in and out of Ids fine hotel nnd deserves the thanks ot the travelling public.

The Y. M. C. A. hnve (mainly through the efforts of the Ladies Auxiliary ) secured a fine site for their new building for which they paid $10,000, leaving them some$27,000 with which to commence their building. Liberal Bangorites will swell this some thousands more and we predict that great good will come from it. The city should deal liberally with them, not only for the good that they will do but for the good they have done in clearing out the old ram- shnckel buildings that cumbered the'ground'und looked so unsightly.

The bridge over the Kenduskeag is being rebuilt—as usual—but it now looks as if it might stand the test of time.

We noticed a number of lady acquaintances enjoying the hospitality of the manager of the Atkinson House Furnishing Co.’s section, getting rested on the elegant plush furniture, primping before the plate glass mirrors and then moving on to seek pastures new in the kalcidescopc of African dodgers, snide shows and fakir medicine men.

The Eastern Fair is a great institution and Bangor is its profit.

What Has Happened in Its Borders the Past Week.

Important Bits From Here, There and Everywhere.

The millinery store of Mrs. W. S. Snow, and the store of James E. Chase, in Litchfield, were entered by burglars Wednesday night, who carried away quite a quantity of goods and what money there was in the drawers, which was a small amount.

The St. Elmo Commandery, K. T., was instituted at Machias Wednesday afternoon, with members present from Calais, Eastport and Cberryfield. Among the distinguished guests was Grand Commander Joseph A. Locke of Portland. Two hundred plates were laid at the banquet in the evening.

An immense crowd was present at the Northern Aroostook Agricultural Fair Wednesday. It was Grange day and addresses were made by ex-Governor Robie, worthy master of the State Grange, and National Master Brigham of Ohio. A private meeting of the Grange held in the evening was largely attended.

We have received the catalogue of the East Maine Conference Seminary at Bucksport, for 1889. The usual information concerning the curriculum and students is given, which shows an excellent course of studies and a large number ot students. During the fall term the attendance was 151 ; winter term 181; spring term 19-1. The aggregate by terms was 526.

The Bath Board of Trade is moving In the matter of having thnt city largely represented at the forthoomirg International Exposition in Boston. At a meeting of the board Monday evening President Fuller, upon suggestion of the manager of the exposition, appointed a committee of 10 representing the several industries pertaining to shipbuilding to formulnte p'ans to have all branches of shipbuilding represented.

The corn factory at Buckficld, under the new proprietors, the Portland Packing Com pany, has been revolutionized; new and im proved machinery has taken the place of the old, new boilers and engines have been added and operations in canning have commenced. The prospect for a successful season is promising. The work will be accomplished with a smaller force and done better. Mr. Henry Nulty is the efficient superintendent.

The Fourth annual reunion of the Fourteenth Maine regiment, which opened Tuesday at Boothbay Harbor,adjourned Wednesday night. The next reunion will be held in Boston at the time of the Grand Army National Encampment. The following officers were elected president, T. W. Porter; vice presidents, Capt. Blodgett, Sergt. Gordon, T. M. Noble; secre tary and treasurer, W. Carver; assistant secretary, Capt. Barnard; finance committee, T. W. Porter, J. E. Kelley, F. M. Noble; executive committee, W. L. Dolloif, Maj. J. M. Wiswell, Capt. Charles Barnard.

It is learned from reliable sources that the commission to fix upon a site and obtain plans for the new hospital at Bangor has decided to adopt what is known as the New York plan. This designs a central building containing the kitchen, heating, laundry and other similar departments. Then at a distance from it in a semi-circular form will be arranged a series of pavilions. Two or three of the latter can he constructed at first and as many added as necessity requires. The drawing of the plans will probably be awarded to an architect by competition and several Maine architects have an eye upon the job.

The commissioners on enlargement of the State House met at 2 o'clock Tuesday after- nooon, every member being in attendance and also Architect Brigham of Boston. For.several hours a general discussion was held as to the progress of the work upon the addition and the outlook for the future. At the evening session the matter of reseating the hall of the House of Representatives was discussed with Architect Brigham, who presented sketches of decorating and painting the same room. The commission voted to close the doors now leading into the front of the room to open others into the large room directly behind the speaker’s desk, in the new part of the capitol. Part ot the iron, which left Pittsburg on the 21st day of August, arrived yesterday. It is probable that no painting will be done until another year, when all the wood work and changes in the interior of the building shall have been completed.

If the Postmaster General of U. S. A. should hitch up his team and take a ride over the post roads of rural Maine, he might gain a suggestion that would lead to some alterations in the present method of circulating mail matter in communities of scattered population.

He might notice in front of many houses a small box set on a post which, not being at all ornamental, he would naturally Infer, by way of alternative, must be useful. He would

6— To "Nemo": You are right. The Latin is Exceptio probat regulam; but the types made us say "Exceptis.” Our paraphrase should have been,—The taking of one thing out ot a class makes emphatic the uniformity of the rest of the class.

7— To C. H .: William Lloyd Garrison has a statue on Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, on that part of its wall which extends in front of the Vendotne. This statue faces towards thelearn that those are private postoffices, not , r|sfng 5(ln The s,fttl]C „.hich your t|on

The mail carrier gets, perhaps, a dollar a year for receiving and delivering the mail a1 these household post offices, which crockery dealers perhaps would term "Individuals.” For this sum the ruralist has as convenient postnl arrangements ns the citizen of Boston or New York, or any other place where distributing carriers are employed, with only the inconveniences of being dependent on some distant postoilleo for stamps.

The improvement that we venture to suggest is that instead of half a dozen postoilices in a scantily peopled town of large territory, the government take pains to locate every rura1 office nt such points that a good stretch of post road should intervene, and then prescribe the route, and fix the rnte which the mail carrier may charge his private customers. The locating of the offices is a matter that could best be accomplished by requiring a small building to be put up wnich should be used by every postmaster in all the changes that occur in administration. Such a building need not cost over §200, and the proposed plan would diminish the number of offices enough to save that sum.

The development of this scheme would be a benefit to all our farming people for which they would be willing to pay. It would add to the perquisites of the faithful mail carrier and the poor fellow needs them all to offset what he has to pay those sharks who sell him the route; it would take nothing from the postmaster's commission on stamps if carriers were duly directed to purchase only in the district where his customers reside, or at least to buy equally at all stations where he passes, and postoilices could then be established with more reference to population than to distance. All that we ask for this advice is a postmaster’s commission when the law goes into effect.

At the recent celebration of Labor Day in Portland, Deputy Labor Commissioner Campbell of this city made the speech of the day, and was warmly congratulated by those present on the excellence of his address. The Portland Press says:

Mr. Campbell made a ringing speech with “child labor” for the text. He said that the law forbade the employment of children under 12 years of ag3 in factories, and of those between 12 and 15 years of age who did not attend school at least 16 weeks in every year. When, he said, we take the children out of the shops, what becomes of them ? Do they go to school ? Do they play truant upon the streets. The law bars them out of factories. It also compels them to go to school, only this law is not enforced. “ What answer shall I make," asked Mr. Campbell,"when manufacturers say to me, ‘You take the children out of our mills, why don’t you send them to school?'” Continuing he said that there was not a manufacturer in the State of Maine who did not cheerfully comply with the law when requested to do so. The parents were the ones to blame. They send Ihe children into the mill almost as soon as they could walk, and keep them there as long us they could. Mr. Campbell also explained some of the difficulties of the burcuu of labor statistics in overcoming the indifference or the tear of those from whom it sought information.

There was a pleasant gathering of relatives and intimate friends at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning at the residence of Mr. S. D. Knight, No. 26 Spruce street, to witness the marriuge of Miss Suruh Elizabeth Loring of this city, io Mr. Frederick A. Foster, of the firm of Seavey, Foster & Bowman of Boston, the ceremony being most happily conducted under a canopy composed of golden rod and hitter sweet by Prof. George N. Harden of Colorado Springs, Colorado, u relative of the bride. Muster Paul W. Foster acted as groomsman and Miss Mabel C. Foster us bridesmaid. The bride wore a brocaded pearl silk dress, trimmed with point lace, and at the neck a gold enamelled rose, with diamond center, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Grace ol New York. Her huir was udorned with u tortoise shell bonnet pin, finished with gold filagree, the gift of the Misses Grace. The house was elaborately decorated with wild and garden flowers, the loving work of a few intimate friends and art pupils of the bride. The bridal gifts were very elegant, giving most gratifying evidence of the love and remembrance ol numerous friends, among ihem a silver service from the bride’s brother. Mr. Geo. U. Loring, and his wife, and a solitaire diamond p‘n from the groom. Among the guests present were Ex-Mayor Grace, Mrs. Grace and their two daughters, also Miss Elena M. Grace and Miss Margarita C.

8— To "Band” : Piccolo in Italian is little. Flauto piccolo means little flute. The piccolo is the little or octavo flute. Hautboy is angli. elzed from the Fiench, haul bois, high wood. It is a wood instrument of high pitch, and was the favorite and leading instrument in the olden orchestras. The Italians have modified this name still more, into the word “oboe.” Ophicleide comes from two Greek words. The first four letters mean serpent, and the rest mean key. This Instrument must have been preceded by one called serpent and improved by the addition of keys. It is the deep brass used in full orchestra work, like the Wagner’s overtures.

GRANITE C H IPS.

Little Flying Fragm ents From Busily Booming Yards.

The mills of the Cutter Marble Co. near Middlebury. Vt.. will resume operations in a few days, and the company's quarry will also be operated.

The new granite business of Concord, N. H., will give the city a large increase of population.

James Donovan, a Quincy quarryman, lost both hands by a premature blast. He was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital.

B. J. Reed has purchased the II. B. Cross granite business near the United States clothespin factory, Montpelier, Vt., and will take possession the first week in September.

It is now stated that Azro Morse of Barre, Vt., is the one that is to build the new polishing mill about a mile from Twingsville, instead of the Wetmore & Morse Granite Co. The latter company have decided to erect all of their new buildings on the Hubbard meadow.

In determining whether asphalt or stone pavements should be laid in the streets of New York, the Board of Estimate of that city acted upon the idea that granite blocks are to be preferred for streets of heavy traffic, and an asphalt surface upon a foundation either of concrete or stone for streets mainly residential.

The largest block of granite ever quarried in New Brunswick was taken last week from the quarry of the New Brunswick Red Granite Co. near St, George and weighed 1200 tons. The mass was moved 20 feet from the solid rock. This block is seldom equalled in size even at some of the great Maine quarrying establishments.

The Boston street department have opened proposals for furnishing curbing for the sidewalks about the new Court House. The bids were: James J. Vernon, §1720; Cape Ann Granite Company, §1666; commissioners of public institutions, §1118; James A. Colson, §1052; John Turner & Co., §2222. The contract was not awarded.

The town of Winslow has just erected a beautiful monument to commemorate the brave deeds of the men who went from that town to save the life of the nation. It is located just north of old Fort Halilax and stands seventeen feet high. On the top is the figure of a soldier in full uniform, rilie in hand, standing at parade rest. It is a most life-like figure and was cut by^Mr. Howard of Bluehill. On two sides of the stone are tbs names of thirty- two of the men who died in in the service.

The granite cutting industry of Montpelier, Vt., has grown very rapidly since its recent introduction. The water power of the Winooski affords great advantages over other localities. There are at present II companies engaged in the business. The Wetmore A Morse Co. is the largest, with a capita; stock of §80,000, and employing 100 men. Their new cutting shed, 216x10 feet, and polishing mill, 80x30, is nearly completed. Stafford, Lynch A Co, witli 21 workmen, also do a good business. The Excelsior Granite Co., who employ 12 men, are at present crowded for space, and will probably enlarge their plant in a short time.

W. F. Butler is building a store for the grocery business in Sidney, just across the Sound from Seattle. His son Spencer will have charge. Mr. Butler has taken 160 acres six miles from Sidney, under the "pre-emption act,” has built a house there, and is clearing up the land for farming purposes. Under the “pre-emption act” it requires six months’ residence on the land before "proving up." Alongside Mr. Butler, Will Milluv of South 'Thomasion has 160 acres adjoining Mr. Butler’s farm, which he bus taken under the "homestead act”, which requires five years residence to warrant a claim. There ure three varieties of claims; “Timber claim,” which is the least binding, "pre-emption claim,” which takes precedence of the former, and the “homestead claim’’ which lakes precedence of both.

BLOOD AND SPEED.

A Handsome String of Aristocratic Equines,

The Gilt-edged Stock of a Thomaston Horse Fancier.

The recent pbenomenni performances of Ihe mild-mannered and swift-footed Nelson have called attention to his get all over the country, and this fact influenced not a little a reporter of T h e C.-G. to make a visit to the stables of C W. Stimpson of Thomaston where some of the best productions of Sunnyside Farm have a pleasant home.

Our attention was first called to Nelson, Jr., three years old, with the royal Nelson fora Bire, his dam being a Kentucky marc bred by Gen. Withers. The mare was aftcrCassius M. Clay. The stallion’s second dam was by Curtis’ Hamhictonian, 3d dam by Gray Eagle, Nelson Jr.'s breeding on bis dam's side being consequently the same as that of California’s great Stombotil. Nelson, Jr., stands 15.3 1-2 hands high, is a shade darker than Nelson, but oilier- wise is a perfect reproduction of his famous sire. He has a tremendous leg and breast for a thrce-yenr-old, and is of splendid physique. He Is clever as a kitten, like his sire in this,and tins a powerful action. Nelson must look out for his namesake. He was bought ns a yearling, has rever been worked, but shows very fast.

AN OL1) CAMPAIGNER.

Next handsome Nelson, Jr., stands Watchmaker, the hero of many hotly contested fights, 17 years old, the father of the unfortunate but gnmey Isnac A., and ot tier fast horses, bred by II. S. Moor of this city. Watchmaker won a rnce nt Liberty Inst 4th of July. He was taken out of the stud, and fat and hearty as he was, without working, entered the free- tor-all and had it al1 his own way, winning in three straight heats,.35, .36 and .37. David Cross of Lincolnville drove him. Mr. Stiinpson bought him of Jefferson parties, and the old stager is in good hands.

FAST MARE.

Mr. Stimpson has a gray inarethat he bought ofS. W. Masters, five years old, that was taken from the pasture and on her first appearance on the track trotted tne mile in better than 2 50, and easily makes the quarter in 40 seconds. This mare was sired hy Thacknmbean, he by Gideon, he hy Rysdyk’s Hambletonian. The mare’s dam was by Old Dirigo, record of 2.29. This marc is in foal to Lumps.

Narka is a two-year-old filly bred hy Mr. Nelson. Narka’s sire is Dictator Chief, 2.21, and her dam Knox Girl bv Gen. Knox, she being the darn of Aubine, 2 19 1-2 also the dam ot Westland 2 38 when a three-year-old. She is a brown, her coat being a bcuutlul glossy one, stands 15.3, and is now in Lee, Mass., being bred to Alcantara. Narka shows a fine gait, and Nelson says she is the best colt ever raised at Sunnyside.

Crete is a sorrel mare, four years old, stands 15 1-2 hands and weighs 1000 pounds. She was sired by Dictator Chief nut of a mare by Daniel Lambert. She is now in loal to Nelson, Jr. She is a natural trotter.

Venus is a black mare by Watchmaker, stands 15 I hands, weighs 950 pounds. Her darn was by Anderson’s Knox. She easily shows a .40 gait.

A F a c tW ORTII knowing is that blood dis

eases which all other remedies fuil to cure, yield to A yer’s S a rsap arilla .

F re s h confirmation of this statement com es to hand daily. Even such deep-seated and stubborn complaints as Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and tho like, are thoroughly eradicated by the use of this wonderful alterative.

Mrs. It. Irving Dodge, 110 West 12fith street, New York, certifies ;—

“ About two years ago, after suffering for nearly two years from rheiimutie gout, being able to walk only witli great discomfort, and having tried various remedies, including mineral waters, without relief, I saw l»y ait advertisement in a Chicago paper that a man had been relieved of this distressing complaint, after long suffering, by taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I then decided to make a trial o f this medicine, und took it regttlurly for eight months. I am pleased to say that it effected a complete cure, ami t but I liavu since had no return of tho disease.”

Mrs. L. A. Stark, Nashua, N. IT., writes; “One year ago I was taken ill witli rheumatism, being conliued to my house six months. I came out of the sickness very touch debilitated, witli no appetite, and my system disordered in every way. I commenced to use Ayer’s Sarsaparilla and began to improve at once, gaining in strength ami soon recovering my usual health. I cannot say too much in praise of this well-known medicine."

“ I have taken a great deal of medicine, but nothing lias done me so much good as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I felt its beneficial effects before 1 hud quite finished o n e bottle, and I can freely testify that it is the best blood- medieiue I know o f."—L. W. Ward, Sr., Woodland, Texas. t
