§HEKE was great commotion in

Foxville wlien old Parson Fox died. I t was not only because he was the pioneer of the place, having come there when the

woods were one primeval mass of green, and himself having erected the old stone parsonage, around which the thriving vil­lage had grown up with almost incredible rapidity. I t was not that he had preached the gospel to them for four-and-forty years; it was not that his footsteps had been instant on every threshold where sickness came or sorrow brooded.

All this had been received as a matter of course, and forgotten as soon as the necessities were past. But it was because Foxville curiosity was on the qui vive about Joanna, his grandchild, the sole re­maining blossom on the gnarled old family tree, who was left quite unprovided for.

“ I declare to goodness,” said Mrs. E m ­mons, “ I don’t know what is to become of that girl.”

‘‘She hain’t no faculty,” said Sabina Sexton, the village dressmaker, “ and never had.”

“ Books possessed no charm to h e r ! ” sighed Miss Dodge, who taught the Fox­ville district school. “ She always cried over her parsing and rhetoric, and I never could make her understand cube root.”

“ T h e re ’s no denyin’ that the old minis­ter was as near a saint as we often see in this world,” said Mrs. Luke Lockedge, piously: “ but he hadn’t ought to let J o ­anna run loose in the woods and fields the way he did. Why, I don’t spose she ever made a shirt, or fried a batch o’ fritters in her l i f e !”

“ Is it true ,” said Miss Dodge, peering inquisitively up under her spectacle glass­es, “ that she is engaged to your Simon, Mrs. Lockedge?”

Mrs. Lockedge closed her mouth, shook her head and knitted away until her need­les shone like forked lightning.

“ Simon’s like other men, Miss Dodge,” •aid she— “ took by a pretty face and a pair o’ bright eyes. And they set on the same bench at school. And as long as we ’sposed Parson Fox had left property, why, there wasn’t no objection. But there wasn 't nothing—not even a life insurance. So I ’ve talked to Simon and made him

hear reason. There can't nobody live on a i r !”

“ But that’s ru ther hard on Joanna, a in’t i t?” said Mrs. Emmons, with a little sym­pathetic wheeze.

“ Reason is reason !” Mrs. Lockedge an­swered. “ My Simon will have property, and the girl he marries must have suthin’ to match it.”

So that Joanna Fox, sitting listlessly in her black dress by the window, where the scent of the June honeysuckles floated sweetly in, and trying to realize that she was alone in the world, bad divers and sundry visitors that day. The first was Simon Lockedge, looking as if his errand were somehow connected with grand lar­ceny.

Joanna started up, her wan face bright­ening. She was only 16—a brown-haired, brown-eyed girl, with a solemn, red mouth and a round, white throat, banded with black velvet.

“ Oh, Simon,” she cried, “ I knew you would come when you heard—”

Simon Lockedge wiggled uneasily into a seat, instead of advancing to clasp her outstretched hand.

“ Y es ,” said he, “ of course it’s very sad, Joanna, and I ’m awfully sorry for you. But—”

Joanna stood still, her face hardening into a cold, white mask, her hands falling to her side.

“ Yes,” said she, “ you were saying—” “ I t 's mother .’’’guiltily confessed Simon.

“ A fellow can’t go against his mother,you know. She says it’s all nonsense, our engagement, and we shouldn’t have any­thing to live on. And so,” with a final twist, “ we’d better consider it all over. T hat’s the sense of the matter—now isn’t it, Joanna?”

She did not answer.“ I ’m awfully sorry,” stuttered Simon.

I always set a deal of store by you, Joanna .”

“ Did you?” she said bitterly. “ One would scarcely have thought it.”

“ And you know, Jo an n a ,” he added, awkwardly, mindful of his mother's drill, “ when poverty comes in at the door, love flies out at the window !”

Joanna smiled scornfully.“ I t seems,” said she, “ that love does

not always wait for tha t .”And she turned and walked like a young

queen into the adjoining apartment; while Simon, sl inking out of the door like a detected burglar, muttered to himself;

“ I t ’s the hardest job o ’ work that ever I did in my life. Splitt ing stumps is noth­ing to it. And mother says it must be done—and mother rules the roost in our house I”

Next came Mrs. Emmons.“ Jo a n n a , ’’said she, “ I ’m deeply grieved

at this ’ere affliction that 's befell y o u !” “ Thank you, Mrs. Emmons,” said the

girl mechanically.“ I ’ve come to ask you about your

p lans ,” added the plump widow. “ Be­cause, if you have no other intentions, I ’ll be glad to have you help me with the housework. I ’m goin’ to have a house

full o’ summer boarders, and there’ll be a great deal more work than me and Elviry can manage. Of course you won’t expect no pay, but a good home is what you need most, and—”

“ Stop a m inute!” said Joanna. “ Am I to understand that yon expect me to as­sume the position and duties of a servant, without a servant’s wages?”

“ You’ll be a member of the family,” said Mrs. Emmons ; “ and you'll sit at the same table with me and Elviry, and—”

“ I am much obliged to you,” said Joanna, “ but I must decline your kind offer.”

And Mrs. Emmons departed in righteous wrath, audibly declaring her conviction that pride was certain, sooner or later, to have a fall.

“ I have plenty of friends,” said Joanna, courteously, “ or rather dear grandpa had. I am sure to be provided for.”

But Squire Barton looked harder than any flint when the orphan came to him.

“ Something to do, Miss Fo x ?” said he, “ well, that 's the very problem of the age —woman’s work you know ; I ain’t smart enough to solve it. Copying? No, our firm «Wn’t need that sort of work. Do I know of any one that does?-’ N-no, I can’t say 1 do; but if I should hear of an opening, I ’ll be sure to let you know. Ahem !— I ’m a little busy this morning, Miss Fox ; sorry I c an ’t devote more time to you. John, the door. Good morning, my dear Miss Fox. I assure you you have mine and Mrs. Barton's prayers in this sad visitation of an inscrutable P rov i­dence.”

Old Miss Gringe, who had §50,000 at interest, and who had always declared that she loved dear Joanna Fox like a daughter, sent down word that she wasn’t very well, and couldn't see company.

Dr. Wentworth,in visiting whose invalid daughter poor old Parson Fox had con­tracted the illness which carried him to the grave, was brusque and short. He was sorry for Miss Joanna, of course, but he didn’t know of any way in which he could be useful. He understood there was a kid-glove factory to be opened on Walling river soon.

“ No doubt Miss Fox could get a place there; or there would be no objection to her going out to domestic service. There was a great deal of false sentiment on this subject, and he thought—”

But Joanna, without waiting for the re ­sult of his cogitations, excused herself. She would detain him no longer, she said, and went away with flaming cheeks and resolutely repressed tears.

When she got home she found one of the trustees of the church awaiting her. He didn’t wish to hurry her, he said, but the new clergyman didn’t want to live in such a ruinous old place; and it was their calculation, as the parsonage was mort­gaged much beyond its real value, to sell it out and buy a new frame house near the depot, with all the modern con­veniences, for the use of the Rev. Silas Speakwell.

“ I am to be turned out of my home?” said Joanna, indignantly.

Deacon Blydenburg hemmed and hawed. He didn’t want to hurt no one’s feelings; but as to her home. I t was well known that, to all intents and pur­poses, the old place had long since passed out of Parson F o x ’s ownership; and they were willing to accord her any reasonable length of time to pack up and take leave of her friends—say a week.

So Joanna, who couid think of no re ­maining friend but her old governess, who had long ago gone to New York to fight in the great world for herself, went down to the city and appealed to Miss Woodin in her extremity and Miss Woodin cried over her, and kissed her, like an old maiden aunt.

“ W hat am I to do?” said poor, pale Joanna. “ I can't starve !”

“ There 's no necessity for any one starv­ing in this great busy world,” said Miss Woodin, cheerfully. “ All you want is— facu lty !”

Joanna shrank a little from the hard, stereotyped word, which she had so often heard from the lips of Mrs. Emmons, Miss S a lm a Sexton, and that sisterhood.

“ But how do you live?” said she.“ Do you see that thing there in the c o r ­

n e r? ” said Miss Woodin.“ Yes,” answered Joanna. “ Is it a sew­

ing machine?”“ I t ’s a typewriter,” answered Miss

Woodin. “ And I can earn my living on i t .”

“ B ut what do you write?” said Joanna.“ Anything I can ge t, ’’said Miss Woodin.And thus, in the heart of the great wil­

derness of New York, Joanna Fox com­menced her pilgrimage of toil.

F irs t on the typewriter; then promoted to a compiler’s desk in the “ Fas hion D e­partment” of a prominent week )y jo u rn a l ; then, by means of a striking, original sketch, slipped into the letter box of the Ladies’ Weekly, with fear and trembling, to a place on the contributor’s list; then gradually rising to the rank of a spirited young novelist, until our village damsel had her pretty “ flat” furnished like a miniature palace, with Miss Woodin and her typewriter snugly installed in one cor­ner.

“ Because I owe everything to h e r ,” said the young authoress, gratefully.

And, one day, glancing over the ex­changes in the sanctum of the Ladies’ Weekly, to whose columns she still con­tributed, she came across a copy of the Foxville Gazette.

“ Hester,” she said, hurrying home to Miss Woodin, “ the old parsonage is to be sold at auction,to-morrow,and I mean to go up and buy it. For I am quite—quite sure that I could write there better than anywhere else in the world. '’

Miss Woodin agreed with Joanna. Miss Woodin believed most firmly in what J o ­anna believed. In her loving eyes the successful young writer was always right.

So Joanna Fox and Miss Woodin dress­ed in black and closely veiled went up to Foxville to attend the auction sale. Every-

2 T h e LLiillips P h o n o g ra p h , a L iv e , L o c a l L a e e r .—3 1 . 0 0 pei* Y e a r .

body was there. They didn't have an auction sale a t Foxville every day in the week.

'Squire Barton was there, with a vague idea of purchasing the old place for a pub­lic garden.

“ It would be very attractive,’* said the ’squire. ‘ These open air concert gardens are making no end of money in the cities.L don’t see why the Germans need pocket all the money there is going.”

Mrs. Emmons came because everybody else did. Miss Dodge, who had saved a little money, thought that if the place went cheap, she would pay down a part, and give a mortgage for the remainder.— “ And my sister could keep boarders,” she considered, “ I could have a home there .” B ut Simon Lockedge was most determin­ed of all to have the old parsonage for his own.

“ I could fix it up ,” said he to himself, “ and live there real comfortable. I t ’s a dreadful pretty location, and I ’m bound to liav g it, especially since mother’s in­vestments have turned out bad, and we’ve got to sell the old farm. Nothing hasn’t gone right with us since I broke oft with the old parson’s grand-daughter. I t wasn’t quite the square thing to do, but there seemed no other way. But, let mother say what she will, it brought bad luck to us .”

And the crowd surged in and out, and the auctioneer mounted to his platform, on an olu kitchen table, and the bidding be­gan at five hundred dollars, and “ hung 1 fire” for some time.

“ S ix !” said cautious Simon Lockedge, | at last.

“ Seven!” peeped Miss Dodge, faintly. ! “ E ig h t !” said Simon, resolutely.“ A thousand!” uttered the voice of a i

quiet, veiled lady, in the corner.Everone stared in that direction.“ ’Taint worth that ,” said the ’squire |

sotto voce. “ All run down—fences gone to nothing.”

But Simon Lockedge wanted it very much. “ E —le—ven hundred !” said he, slowly and unwillingly.

“ Fifteen h u n d red !” spoke the soft voice, decidedly.

“ Fifteen hundred!*’ bawled the auc­tioneer. “ I ’m offered fifteen hundred dollars for this very desirable property. I Fifteen hundred — fifteen — teen—teen ! Fifteen hundred, once ; fifteen hundred, twice; fifteen hundred, three times, and gone! W hat name, ma’am, if you please?”

And the lady, throwing aside her veil, j answered calmly :

“ Joanna Fox.”The old parsonage was rebuilt, and stud­

ded with little bay-windows and mediaeval porches. Laurels and rlmdendrons were set out in the g rounds; the little brook was bridged over with rustic cedarwood; and Joanna Fox and Miss Woodin came ; there to live, in modest comfort.

But Mrs. Lockedge and her son Simon moved out of Foxville when the mortgage i on their old place was foreclosed, and the places that had known them once knew them no more.

And Mrs. Emmons said :“ She’s done real well, Joanna has. I |

always knew there was something in her ! ” j And Mrs. Wentworth and the Misses j

Barton tried desperately to become inti­mate with the young authoress, but with­out avail.

Fo r there is nothing in all the wide world so successful as success, and it is a fetich which has many worshippers.

N. E. Manufacturers’ & Mechanics’ Institute.

The grand opening of the Second An­nual Exhibition-Fair, of the New England Manufacturers’ and Mechanics’ Institute is announced to take place in their mam­moth Exhibition Building, Huntington Avenue, Boston, on Wednesday, Sept. (!. The exhibition promises to far surpass the brill iant display of last fall. Exhibits from twenty-seven States of the Union, and from three foreign countries, will com­pletely fill the immense building. The genius of the inventor, and the skill of the mechanic will be displayed in a thou­sand forms. Illuminated water displays, cascades and fountains will add a charm to the busy interior. The great Southern Railroad exhibit, a repetition of the At­lanta Exposition, will undoubtedly prove of much interest to our agricultural read­ers. The ores, minerals, woods and field products of the South will be fully rep­resented.

Another attractive feature of the Exhi­bition-Fair will be the great electric light display by Prof. Edison and others. One thousand incandescent lights, of Professor Edison’s system, and 1,000 arc lights of other companies, will illuminate the vast interior at night.

As before stated, the opening ceremo­nies will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 6, at 11 o’clock a. m., Gov. Long presid­ing, assisted by the Governors of such other States as are represented by exten­sive exhibits. Mr. Edward Atkinson will deliver an address, and Reeves’Ame .'can Band, of Providence, will enliven the oc­casion with choice musical selections.— Exhibitors are notified to have their ex­hibits in complete order on the evening of September 5th, as no work on exhibits will be permitted on the day of opening. A grand gala day is expected on the 6th, and a large, enthusiastic attendance is an­ticipated.

The king-bird seems to be despised by nearly all apiarians, because he devours their bees. A bee-keeper frankly stated, the other day, however, that it killed only the drones. Be that as it may, the king­bird is unquestionably one of the most valuable of the feathered tribe. Recent­ly the writer observed a number of millers collecting their evening repast from the blossoms of the linden or basswood tree, i A cunning king-bird, perched it its top, would wait until it saw a miller reveling amid the blossoms, when it would pounce upon the insect, and in less than fifteen minutes that useful bird devoured more than thirty of them. There is a vast number of insects which owe their pater­nity' to the millers, and it behooves every tiller of the soil to cultivate thejjfriendship of the king-birds (and all other birds), rather than to seek their destruction.— Ex

A little boy had his long curls cut off the other day, and was annoyingly re ­minded of the fact by the remarks of all his friends. Going with his family into the country, so in after his arrival, he came running into the house in great sor­row, crying, “ Mamma, mamma, even the hens laugh at me; they all say, “ Cut-cut- eut-got-your-hair-cut!”

The Farmington Herald last week an­nounced the death by lightning of Willie, son of Reuben Tilton, of Wilton. The fol­lowing facts are 'gathered from Mr. Tilton, f who, with his two sons, Willie and Bennie, 1 were haying, and during a thunder shower; sought shelter beneath a maple tree. Tfie ! shower had not yet struck. The two .boys were standing near the trunk of the tree, while the father was leaning against a small­er one, about ten feet from it. The bolt struck the larger tree, tearing the bark and knocked Willie on his back, threw' Bennie sever feet and stunned him, and lifted the father some distance and dropped him into a bunch of hazel bushes, insensible. When Mr. T. recovered, Bennie shouted, “ Willie is dead!” Mr. Tilton said, “Go for help;I can’t move.” Bennie went for a neighbor, and the father, with no use of his lower limbs, dragged to the side of Willie just in time to see him gasp and die. His body was not marked in any wray. One leg of his pants was torn open and the heel of a shoe torn off. Mr. Tilton was badly electrified; there wras a deep red scar starting from the low'er part of the abdomen, running around to the back, between the hips, w'here it left an impression in the shape of a star on one side and a cross on the other. Mr. Tilton has not yet fully recovered from the terrible shock. Willie was thirteen years of age and Bennie is eleven.

A curious use is made of ants by the Indians of Brazil, who employ them to dress wounds, causing them to bite the edges together, and then cutting off the head ; the jaws will not relax, but hold the wound together till healed. They were formerly employed as a cruel instrument of torture by South African tribes, who tied the victim to a tree, smeared his body with grease, and placed an ants nest at his feet. The Arabs, according to Mr. Mog- gridge, place an ant in the hand of a new­ly born child, that the virtues of the insect may pass into the infant. Naturalis ts al­so sometimes make use of these industri­ous scavengers. When they require a perfect specimen of the smaller verte­brates, they place the body in a box, bore a few holes in it, and bury it near an ant's n e s t ; in a few days a perfect and most del­icately whitened skeleton will be found in the box.

P ^ W e are satisfied from what we see and hear that there is no proprietary med­icine on the market that is so popular and is doing so much good for suffering hu­manity as W arn e r ’s Safe Kidney and Liv­er Cure. The testimonials published by this firm are a wonder in their way, each one having the autographic signature of its author. This conclusively proves them to be genuine and that the parties giving them may be relied upon. The demand for the remedies comes from all parts of the country, and the sales must be im­mense. The firm is composed of fair, square-dealing men, who never “ go back’ on the printer.

Robbing tie Soil.For one, we do not believe in the forced

growth of trees on lands which are not ready for it. I f the farmer plants trees on sod lands, he robs the soil and yet only produces a growth lacking in vitality, the wood loose and spongy, or hard and non­combustible, and this for the reason that the subsoil of sod land is not in a state to feed a heavier growth than that of weed and brush. There is a course following nature to be pursued in this matter of producing timber as well as in any other. W e cannot change the order of nature; we may change the order of conditions.— The soil which produces timber must be able to throw off acids in a constant and healthy flow. A. growth of sumach on sod land, remaining till its fifth and full year, will fit that land for timber planting. And for this reason : sumach attracts moisture and extracts acids in a greater degree than any other growth known to to this country. These effects are easily noted by the experimenter; a heavy dew will gather upon the foliage of sumach when every blade of grass and every oth­er growth about it is comparatively d r y ; and the berry of the young scrub shows a power of assimilating acids, up to its fifth year, beyond any other growing agent.— From the fifth to the tenth year its power decreases, and the berry becomes com­paratively tasteless, it having exhausted the capacity of acids in the soil and re­turned to it in dew and foliage a ju s t mod­icum of alkali.

After the third year of sumach growth a planting of elms, ash and white oak will take rapidly to the soil, and in time pro­duce a wood which will show all the fea­tures of a hundred years standing. Ferns, timber, grasses and preservative mosses, with all the family of parasitic growth, will develop in profusion, and a forest as stable and healthy as those of the tree belts will exist for the future benefit of generations. Most certainly to produce the masterpiece of nature, this reservoir of health for man and strength for the soil, is more work of humanity than to build pillard structures or rearing mount­ing spires to mock a people diseased and starving for the juices of waving forests and the food of swift-fingered plantations.

All that’s necessary to keep eggs through the summer is to procure small, clean wooden or tin vessels, holding from ten to twenty gallons, and a barrel, more or less, of common, fine-ground land plaster. Begin by putting on the bottom of the vessel two or three inches of plaster, and then, having fresh eggs, with the yolk un­broken, set them up, small end down, close to each other, but not crowding, and make the first layer. Then add more plas­ter enough so the eggs will stand upright, and set up the second layer; then anoth­er deposit of plaster, followed by a layer of eggs, till the vessel is full, and finish by covering the top layer with plaster.— Observe that the eggs must be freshly laid, the yolks unbroken, and the packing done in small vessels.

I'iecipe for durable whitewash :— Slack the lime with boiling skim milk; add for every half-bushel of lime three quarts of salt, one-half pound of whiting and a pound of white glue, previously dissolved in water. This wash to go on smoothly must be about as thick as good rich milk. Apply on a bright day.

At this season we are closing out our Summer Hats. Now is the time to secure the best bargains.

We have a limited space for Ready-Made Clothing, and at the close of summer we commence to reduce our stock to make room for Fall Trade. We have a few summer suits on hand which, unless sold very soon, will remain on our counters or be put away for next season. The chances are that the styles may change a little, and these goods will be offered very low an­other season, if on hand. To meet such contingences we offer the suits now, very low. Quotations will be of no avail. Come in and see how extremely low you can buy them. To give you an idea, we will say we can sell an all-wool suit at $8.00; former price, $10.00 and $12.00, in June.

A N O T H E R D E P A R T M E N T .There are some who suppose we only keep in stock

high-priced woolens. While we advertise to carry the best stock of Imported and Domestic Woolens, we are constantly buying job lots of low-priced woolens, and our stock of woolens are constantly changing in styles, so that any one desiring a pair of pants or suit, for service, and not particular about the latest style, can buy at HALF PRICE. Just as servicable a piece of goods for half the money.

We offer for a few weeks only, to reduce our stock and make room for Fall Goods.

The gentlemen who took part in the con­ference of prohibitionists at Mr. S. L. Carleton’s office, Portland, in the early part of the summer, and who failed to commit the lead in g p r AiibitionioCa o f tlie State to the movement, and who, still lat­er, held meetings at the Preble House to establish a new party, met at that hotel Monday and Tuesday, forenoon, and final­ly decided on the following t icket: For Governor, Warren H. Vinton, of Gray; Congressm an: 1st District, James M. Stone, of Ivennebunk; 2d District, Hon. Nelson Dingley, J r . , of Lewiston ; 3d Dis­trict, Capt. Charles Nash, of Augusta; 4th District , Daniel Stickney, of P&esq.ue Isle.

The last upon the list is well known here, where he has a brother. Uncle George knows all the news tha t’s going, and the above item makes him smile out­right. He says Daniel has had a desire to become President ever since a boy, mentioning the fact to his mother when he became old enough to hold that office.— L ncle George says he probably thinks he's on the road now, su re ; but he guesses l ncle Daniel will get dissapp’inted after all.

g£|fQ>The allusions in the Herald to the course of W. L. Daggett, Esq., are no­thing but the base emenations of a fac­tious demagogue, whose long affinity with democratic rottenness has resulted in mental and moral demoralization. Mr. Daggett has been a life-long friend of Mr. Stubbs, and his course in withdrawing from the Senatorial canvass is in exact keeping with the honorable record which has been his during a life-long residence in Franklin county.

§£§P*The town committee has called a caucus for next Wednesday, 30th, at 4 p. m., to choose eleven delegates, to attend the district convention at the Phillips town house on the day following,the 31st. T he convention will determine w h ich ; town in the class shall nominate a candi­date for Representative to the Legislature. Phillips will have 11 delegates, Weld 9, Strong G and Avon 4.

Local Politics and the Herald.

We certainly awaited the coming of the Herald this week with some trepidation, having but a faint idea what course that sheet might pursue under its favorite heading. Among its many dark-faced headlines we get some interesting reading with that which is commonplace.

W e shall deal with a few matters found in the Herald, intentionally skipping none worthy of comment. We first discover the following:

“ Then I. W . Merrill showed the result of an all night job. I t seems that Mr. M. and Municipal Judge Severy drove from Farmington to Phillips on Wednes­day p. m. They got the machine view of things there, and at 7 p. m. drove again to Strong and labored nearly all night with Brother Daggett , who had secured some thirty or forty delegates and was a far more popular candidate than Stubbs. Bro. Daggett agreed to deliver bis goods, i. e., bis delegates to Stubbs, and thus beat Burnham.”

This statement is made of whole cloth, as we can show. Judge Severy and Mr. Merrill were in town from seven till near­ly midnight, to our personal knowledge, the latter being in our office between the hours of 8 and 9. We are very certain that neither of these gentlemen were in Strfeng at any time, near that date, only as they passed through on their way to and from the convention. So that state­ment is either wilfully false, or, not much be tte r—based on mere rumor.

“ The election of Stnbbs now means a continuation of ring rule in this county.”

We think it was not long since that the Herat said he was not the “ ring” candidate, and therefore could not be nominated.— Mr. Burnham conceded here that M. S. vrao noi tlit; liiHclilne m an.

Speaking of the mass meeting, it says :“ Drummond went into temperance busi­

ness heavily, and his audience had just about enongh of the ardent aboard to en­joy the joke and cheered lust ily.7’

This is a base slander. We saw but one drunken man, and he was a friend of the Herald, from Farmington.

“ Fifteen delegates accredited to the va­rious plantations were thrust into the con­vention, all of them from Strong, Phil­lips and Madrid—all Stubbs men, having

I false credentials or none at all .”In truth the plantations are entitled to

but eight delegates in all, and that stamps this statement as false.

“ Bro. Moore, . . you have now read the Herald and have an inside view of matters. State your convictions please. Remember we are prepared to prove any and all of our statements,” says the Her­ald.

Yps, we have read the thing, and we challenge each and every statement quot­ed, from first to last. Our convictions are that you have gone all wrong; that you are making wholesale charges, based on mere rumor, or thin air, solely for po­litical effect, caring not much for truth and honor, only that your end is accom­plished and the Herald smells another feed. We know the Herald is in a bad fret, because its favorite candidate was not nominated to head the county t icket; but then, his defeat saved the Herald the shame of proving itself a traitor to its own party—the fusionists.

J ^ ^ G e o r g e Soule, of Iiangeley, well- known as an old trapper and guide, as well as proprietor in years past of “ Soule 's Camp,” died Sunday, the 20th inst. In the near future we shall give an extended notice of Mr. Soule’s life, which must be of particular interest to his many friends, including large numbers of those who a n ­nually visit the Lakes.

Is This to be the Issue ?

The first issue raised by tlie Herald, in the present campaign, is in regard to Mr. Stubbs and tlie Sandy River Railroad. We gladly accept such an issue, and so will every citizen of North Franklin , who by the construction of the road are brought nearer the business marts of the world; whose property is enhanced in value there­by, and who willingly bear tlie little “ bur­den,” as does Phillips—voting without a dissenting vote to at once commence the annual payment of its railroad debt. The Herald says :

“ Mr. I. W arren Merrill then delivered a speech which must have been a surprise to the people of No. Franklin . He pic­tured the benefits which had resulted from the construction of the Sandy River Rail­road; how it had proven to the world that the worthless forests of mountainous r e ­gions could be made valuable, and told of the glory that belonged to Mr. Stubbs for boldly fighting all opposition and planting the road in the Sandy River valley, and finally, in making the road pay the inter­est on its bonds.”

You are mistaken, Mr. Herald. I t was far from a surprise. The people of Nortli Franklin well know the benefits of tlie ro a d ; bow it has proven that the forests could be made valuable. For instance: A small steam mill has been established in Phillips since the road was built, and solely on account of the road. During its first year of existence (the past year) it lias paid our farmers nearly or quite double their former price for wood, and the former demand was only for stove- wood, and that remains the same, but brings better prices. This mill, for its first year, has paid here for wood nearly #5,000 in cash. The mill at Madrid has probably done as much or m ore—all on account of tlie railroad. Phillips invests #14,000 in the railroad, and we receive this year §5,000 for heretofore unsaleable wood toward interest oh the principal. Madrid gets more than enough to balance her interest account. Rangeley surely gets a good profit on her investment, through the increased travel to the Lakes. Strong is satisfied with her investment, and Farmington ought to be, for its larg­est share-holder bought all of his stock after the road had been fairly tested.

We are willing to accord Mr. Stubbs a large proportion of the glory that rests upon the builders of the road. North Franklin will show at the election that she* is willing and will give Mr. StoLbs glory for his untiring efforts in their behalf. Again we q u o te :

“ He had nothing to say of the means that were used to extort money from hundreds of nen in the various towns, who are taxed without their consent to supply it, and who never have and never will receive a cent in re tu rn .”

The “ means” used were public meet­ings and open town meetings, as well as a personal canvass. Voluntary subscrip­tions were received, and the towns loaned

! their credit by overwhelming votes in fa­vor. I t is generally conceded that a ma­jority vote settles most all questions. As to those who “ never have and never will receive a cent in re tu rn ,” we would like to see such a person in North Franklin. He cannot be a man owning a foot of land, capable of doing a day’s work, or in any kind of business. Such an assumption is merely bosh, and its author knows it well.

“ He had nothing to say of the new en­terprise of Mr. Stubbs' by which a stage road is to be built from Strong, through Freeman, to Kingfield, and the people of Freeman leaded with debt, that the Sandy River road may pay big dividends to its stoek holders.”

Mr. Stubbs, in common with other en­terprising citizens along the route, is in­terested in such an enterprise. And such a road, which is a public necessity, must cost somebody something to build and maintain it.

“ He had nothing to say of the excessive rates of freight charged by that road by which the lumber men in No. Franklin are crippled in their business. Oh no, Mr. Merrill, if you think Mr. Stubbs’ rec­ord in the Sandy River railroad will elect him, you are badly deceived.”

We have yet to learn of any lumber­man being crippled by excessive freights. On the contrary, we have shown the es ­tablishment and benefits of one mill, on account of the railroad, and will also men­tion the large purchase of timber land made by Auburn parties recently. A spec­ial meeting of the Directors was called, who consulted with the parlies, and agreed upon freight rates which were perfectly satisfactory to the parties who are now shipping their mill machinery to the loca­tion decided upon. The cripple business is played out. In regard to the above facts, we quote as follows from the Phil­lips correspondence of the Chronicle :

“ Previous to the building of the Sandy River Railroad, the owners of this tract, when asked to build steam mills and m a n ­ufacture lumber there, would invariably reply that the project was not to be enter­tained fo ra moment, for the reason they had no available means of transportation. This is all changed now, and tlie outlook for the railroad was never more promis­ing.”

Mr. Stubbs is well known to be one of the prime movers in securing the railroad, and is to-day one of the most liberal and enterprising directors upon the board of management, favoring the most liberal measures toward the advancement of the, people’s best interests in the road.

The Republican candidate for Senator can well afford to have the issue made on the railroad, so far as North Franklin is concerned.

P o r t l a n d , Aug. ’21st, 1882. E d ito r o f the Phonograph :—

In your paper of the 19th inst. I find the doings of the Franklin County Re­publican Convention, by which I should judge that you had a very pleasant and harmonious meeting. And from among the many good names presented lrom which to select candidates, I think you fortunate in the selection. “ Such nomi­nations are fit to be made.” There must have been a worthy, patriotic principle actuating the many candidates for nomi­nation, which was manifested by those who failed to receive nominations, by their promptly moving to make the nomi­nations unanimous. Another good feature of the convention is, that the nominees were taken from various sections of the county, leaving no cause of complaint that any section was not properly noticed —tlie eight candidates taken from seven different towns. It would seem that no jarr ing discord exists among you. I t now remains for the Republicans of the county to ratify the doings of the convention, at the polls in September. And if all will do their whole duty, the entire ticket will be elected, as it should be. But there are those in most every community who are not wholly governed by patriotic principle at elections, but by likes or dislikes. The elective franchise should be exercised upon patriotic principle, and not to favor personal friends, or to spite some one against whom we may have some pique or dislike. I hope Republi­cans in Old Franklin will stand firm, shoulder to shoulder, in one immovable phalanx this fall. I f they do so, victory is sure to crown their efforts.

“ Our stay in this busy, thriving town was brief, as it was yet several hours to noon and we were bound for Weld. A call was made at the Barden house, most homelike of the old-time “ taverns,’’where the sunny face of big-hearted Farm er a l­ways has a welcome for a l l ; and at the office of the P h o n o g r a p h , sprightly and spunky little newspaper that it is, presid­ed over by Mr. O. M. Moore, who has done so much in his few years’ residence here to develop the business interests and summer attractions of the region of which Phillips is the gateway. Mr. Moore has shown in his business what pluck, energy and “ stick” will accomplish, and Phillips without the P h o n o g r a p h would not be the Phillips it is, by a good deal. We hope he may never have the Western fev­er again, but will remain in the leautiful town he has helped so much to make known as a summer resort .”

ggfpdieceived as we were going to p re s s :In view of the positive assertions made

bv the Farmington Herald in its issue of to-day, regarding the withdrawal of Mr. Washington L. Daggett from the conven­tion at Phillips, as a candidate for Sena­tor, and the connection of our names with his action in the matter, we wish to say so far as the Herald’s statement refers to our urging or asking Mr. Daggett to with­draw, it is absolutely false.

We have never demanded, urged or re ­quested, for ourselves or any other person or persons, the withdrawal of Mr. Dag­ge tt ; nor did either of us see or com­municate, or have any knowledge of any communication, with Mr. Daggett after our arrival at Phillips, Wednesday P.

The belle that wore the most expensive jewelry was the worst speller, and twelve out of fourteen went down on the word “ sepa ra te ;” “ phthisis” floored them all, and one of the cooks was called in to spell the word for them. A young lady who fondled a pug dog and wore diamond earrings maintained that d-o-w-t was the way “ doubt” was spelled when she went to school.

501 N. Frerftont St., Baltimore During the war I was in­

jured in the stomach by a piece of a shell, and have suffered from it ever since. About four years ago it brought on paraly­sis, which kept me in bed six months, and the best doctors in the city said I could not live. I suffered fearfully from indigestion, and for over two years could not eat solid food and for a large portion of the time was unable to retain even liquid nourishment. I tried Brown’s Iron Bitters and now after taking two bottles I am able to get up and go around and am rapidly improving.
