Only waiting till the shadows are n little longer grown; Only waiting till the glimmer of the last day’s beam

is flown;Till the night of earth is faded from the heart once full

of day;Till the stars of heaven are breaking through the twi­

light soft and gray.

Only waiting till the reapers have the last sheaf gather­ed home,

For the Summer time has faded and the Autumn winds have come.

Quickly reapers, gather quickly, these last ripe hours of my heart,

For the bloom of life is withered, aud I hasten to de­part.

Only waiting till the shadows are a little longer grown; Only waiting till the glimmer of the day’s last beam is

flown;Then from out the gathered darkness, holy, deathless

stars shall rise,By whose light my aoul will gladly tread its pathway

to the skies.

Only Me.

A WASHERWOMAN’S DAUGHTER.

A little Swiss muslin apron with rubles, pockets and ribbons, is a Tery seductive tiling, even when tossed with artless care­lessness upon the fancy table of a charity fair: but who can paint its magic power upon an unwary youth when its fluttering ribbons span a slender, dainty waist and the pink-tipped fingers of two plump little hands play at hide-and-seek in its apologies for pockets?

Could a mortal man help stopping to speak to Tinie Blair as she stood behind the great album of photographs, alert and ready to register subscriptions as fast as they were secured?

It must have been the apron that made her so radiently charming, for no other ta­ble made such a stoppage in the line of travel, although the hall was lined with tables, temples and stands, covered with baits for the charitable and presided over by the beauty and fashion of Ofl'port. So at least said the Ofl'port lUccIZi/, and if a newspaper is not to be believed, then what

her pretty self in a becoming costume for once, and Tinie danced up to ling her blessed mother, w ith:

“ Oh, mammy darling! What nice things mothers are!”

Ixiw as the misery of a drunken husband had made Mrs. Blair’s position, she was a lady liy birth and education, and had brought up her two children with all the re­finement possible in their misfortunes.

She was proud of her pretty daughter, and felt most keenly the slighting coldness with which the young ladies ofOfl'port treat­ed her. She was glad now that a taste of pleasure seemed to be thrown in tier way.

But, althouglulie plans were made, not a step could be taken toward their execu­tion till n small basket of clothes could be finished and sent oil' to the hotel ; but they were quickly done and dispatched by Bobby, Tinie’s small hut very wide awake brother, and then both mother and daughter gave every thought and energy to preparing the simple costume tile latter was to wear.

Bobby proceeded on his errand after the usual manner of small boys, who have so much business of their own to attend to that it is with difficulty they can keep their attention fixed on the special mission upon which they are sent.

He found the young gentleman to whom he was to deliver the clothes, and, pitying the benighted ignorance of a stranger to the village, kindlv spent half an hour of his valuable time enlightening him concerning its affairs. the fair quite naturally coming in for the largest share of mention.

Tile handsome young stranger listened witli flattering attention, and when Bobby was beguiled by his interest into giving a graphic account of bis sister's social snub­bing by the other girls, and told of the meanness which had assigned the poorest position to her, his sympathy was outspok­en in language which, although less pious than energetic, much delighted Bob.

Yes, it must have been the apron that made Tinie so irresislable that customers hung around her vicinity, apparently un­conscious that just opposite a black-eyed Rebecca waited to draw lemonade from an unfailing spring for their delectation, or that Flora's temple, just beyond, was crowded with attendant vestals, eager to supply button-hole bouquets at ten cents apiece and pin them in without extra charge.

Tinie was downcast at first, and felt like a weed in a garden-bed when she saw the cold scorn in the eyes of those who thought tier pushing and forward. They gave her little thought however, being busy talking o f the expected crowd that evening would bring.

There were strangers in town, stopping while their yacht was being repaiied from tbo shock of a collision; and the hope that the gentlemen would seek to while away the tedious hours by sauntering into the ba­zaar animated tile gentle bosoms of tile chatterers.

tie apron it was, all covered with ruffles and puffles and flummery, as his untutored masculine tongue would have described it.

I t must be that very apron thnt was play­ing the mischief with him, for he had nev­er been so fascinated by any girl before.

Suddenly a wild desire to possess the ir­resistible hit of property came over him.

Then the cruelty of securing it, and' r‘ n " n,Tleaving her to the mortification of expos­ing the rusty merino unprotected by its friendly shelter, rushed over him, and he took Bob into a short consultation, which resulted in an interview with the majestic first directress, promenading the hall with the bland manner of a shop-walker, or of ono who graciously holds a levee, but keeps an eye on the guests that they escape not with the spoons.

The suave lady, little guessing for whom it was destined, assisted him to select from one of the tables an apron of far more ele­gant character than the one he coveted^ and he, with Bobby's assistance, began to negotiate an exchange of aprons with ten dollars to boot, to be added to the fair re­ceipts.

Tinie flushed up at the offer, but the by­standers urged her to accept it, and eventhe clergyman whispered his approval. -- . --------- --------------

She had forgotten all about the expected strangers that the others were on pins and needles to see, till her eyes caught a flatter of excitement among the fair sellers of fancy wares at the other stands.

Four young men, with that unmistakable air of cultivation and fashion that makes sucli fierce havoc an the rural heart, were entering the hall together.

They separated in couples after they came in, and slowly began the tour of the hall; but, like most of the unfair sex who had been in before them, were drawn by some force of attraction to tlie album-table, where Tinie faced a frowning world, as represented by the matrons and maids of Offport.

For the Gazette.Which P a rty Represents the Ma­

jority?Mr. E ditor :—

Within the past few days your corres­pondent has had occasion to pass through several of the towns in Knox and Waldo counties, where the Fusion element large­ly predominated. One could find here and there Fusionists, who had read both sides of the “ Coanting-out Question,” who ad­mitted, some frankly,and others reluctantly, that Garcelon and his Council had disre­garded both equity and law. To this number might be added many Democrats, who took no stock in the Fusion movement, that were outspoken in condemnation of the whole thing. But tho great mass of the Fu- sionists, while greatly excited, showed their profound ignorance upon the questions at issue. I t is not strange that the readers of theOpinion, Camden Herald and Stand- and, should prove to be the victims of i: norance, misrepresentation and fanaticism.There are two hobbies theso people ride; one is. that the Fusionists represent a large majority of the voters of the Skate; the oth­er, that Congress is the only tribunal to which they will submit their grievances.

Our Supreme Court is to bo treated as t nullity, while centralization usurps the re­served rights of the Skates. I shall not stop to argue this monstrous doctrine, but simply remind your readers that most of tlie leaders of this Fusion party were the disciples of James Buchanan, who could find no power in the National Government to put down armed rebellion. But upon the question whether the Legislature elected by the people, or the ono counted in by Garcelon represents the majority.it is simply a question of facts and figures. The whole number of votes were: 138.80G; nccessary for a choice, 09.404; Davis had, 68,90!Garcelon and Smith had, 09.524. Davis lacked 437 of a majority. Smith and Garcelon had a majority of 120, over all others.

If every vote cast for Smith and Garce­lon had represented a Fusion voter,the Fu­sion party would have had the meagre ma­jority of one hundred and twenty votes. But every one knows, who knows any thing, that there were hundreds of voters in Knox county, nnd nil over the State, who cast their ballots either for Smith or Garcelon, that utterly refused to support the Fusion truck and dicker ticket. It has been cur­rently reported that the majority against that ticket exceeded 5000. And tilts fact, no doubt, was one of the main reasons why Garcelon and his Council refused an in­spection of the returns, and that Secretary

SALT.

Salt in certain cases should be given to cattle liberally, and especially when eating dry husks, both as as a laxative, and as an incentive to take more water. It should however, always be in such a shape that it can be regulated by a careful feeder. It is claimed by many that much of the abor­tion of cows in dairy-stables is caused by the careless nse of salt when the bowels aro relaxed. Irom the earliest history there have been attributed to salt m a n y virtues, until many. suppose it is good for every­thing and in all places. Some medical men recommend it for dyspepsia; others as an emetic, as a styptic or astringent, and as beneficial in cases of hemorrhage of the lungs. All agree that sea-water or salt-water baths are stimulating and tonic in their effects. The Bible informs us that all sacrifices offered in tho temple were seasoned with it; new born children were rubbed with it; Elisha sweetened the foun­tain of Jericho with it; and it is used as a symbol of purity, perpetutity, incorruption and hospitality. And to it is attributed barrenness and sterility, for the site of any city or place which was intended should never rise again was sown with salt. An agent which has so many positive nnd nega­tive virtues, should be used with judgment, and not by the blind and unreasonable con­ditions of the past. And one of the great­est follies is, that a few handfuls of it will preserve a mow of wet hay. And one of the most dsangerous uses of it is to compel stock to use more of it than the appetite craves, or what is necessary, in their hay. Give stock salt so they can go to it when they want it, and they will never eat too much. Large doses are laxative and dan­gerous irritants. Cattle and horse-feeders should b e 6ensih1o a n d o b s e r v in g m e n , capable of knowing when stock need laxa­tives and astringents, and in what shape to administer the milder remedies.

Ail Object o f P ity .

Still, in spile of facts, the young men most did congregate around that little ta­ble of Tinie’s. She had shed a small show­er of tears when it was condescendingly offered to her, but it was that or nothing, and it would not even have been that if the good rector had not been so obsolete in his notions as to suppose that tlie child of a shiftless drunkard, whose widow took in washing, was fit to associate with tlie daughters of the upright and solid men who sat in the body of the church and sol­emnly put their regular contributions into tlie weekly plate, carefully pushing their alms welt under, that their five cents need not be known of men.

However, having seen his little parish­ioner pointedly left out in all the prepara­tions for the ladies’ fair and festival, he did insist and carried his point that she should have a position among the fair amateur

V a lu a b le K i l n & W h a r fa huge collection of stupendously uninterest­ing autographs which were not even genu­ine, but attested fa t similes of the signature of every man of note, from Moses to Trea­surer Spinner, who had ever been rash enough to put his name on paper.

The ladies regarded the gift as a white elephant, and forty white horses could not have dragged any other girl in Ofl'port to take charge of it.

The amiable first directress of tlie sew­ing society was a Tallyrend in petticoats.

She brought the two difficulties together, and let one take care of tlie other, that is to say, if that low. odious little creature was to be forced upon them, let her undertake the book, which, of course, would never bo disposed of, but which must appear, or the offended donor would promptly remove her­self and her fortune to the rival church.

After the ecstacy caused by the dear old rector’s pledge that she should have a share in the delight of waiting at the fair, it was something of a heartbreak when, by re­quest, she presented herself before the com­mittee of arrangements to find herself ap­pointed to a most unenviable post.

She might not have known, in her inno­cence that it was a station sa abhorred, but the ill concealed mirth of the others nt her appointment to it made her aware of the small esteem in which it was held.

Then there were other drawbacks, and al­together it was a sad little face that Tinie wore as she swept off the porch of their tumbled down, black cottage thatshe called home.

‘•There’s no use trying,” she said, as she hent her lovely, curly head lower and low­er to keep the tears out of sight. •• No use trying to be like girls who hive money and nice houses, and clotiies they’re not ashamed of. I declare, if it wasn’t for mother, I’d wish I was dead."

“ What did you say, Tinie? ” said her mother, looking up from the ironing- table.

So Flora’s fair nymphs came out of their neglected bower, and flitted artlessly hith­er and thither with an elaborately studied “ Who’ll buy?-’ expression on their various faces, nnd full baskets of boutonnieres in their hands.

Tinie was too unversed in tlie ways of the world to feel any resentment nt his defec­tion, but she was sorry enough for the ab­ru p t b re ak in tlie m erry o h at they w ere having while he insisted upon her turning the leaves of the big album for his inspec­tion.

She tried not to show any feeling, blit there was a suspicious little drawing down of tlie baby mouth, and a grieved look in the wide blue eyes that infatuated him as he dashed back in a moment witli a huge arrangement of flowers in his hand, which lie begged iter to accept.

“ He must he a remarkably charitable man,” was her little remark aside to the rector, as the commodore proceeded to take unlimited shares in the autograph album.

Tlie rector had been watching the frank, high-bred face of the young fellow, nnd, unworldly as he was, he knew enough to trust him; so he paid no heed to the nods and winks from his wife across the hall, who was being informed by the able first direct­ress of tlie dangers a girl in Tinie’s peculiar position ran from tlie over-familiarity of the strange y o u ^ man.

Bobby, tiie candid young brother, hov­ered about Tinie’s stall, hoping for a recog­nition from his friend of tlie day before; but much scrubbing, hair-cutting and clothes-brushing, had so transformed tlie i ngen ious youth that be passed unrecognized till he forced himself into notice by a whis­pered demand to know if his sister wasn’t just us he had said, eleventy thousand times handsomer than those old cats who wouldn’t speak to her because her mother was a washerwoman.

Tile commodore’s bewilderment at the question only lasted a moment, then he saw it (Jearly. This pretty soft eyed, girl, with her little wildrose face and shy, bewitching ways, was tlie abused sister he had already felt a chivalrous pity for when her brother told her story.

He remembered it all now—the old, worn-out dress, tho pretty white apron that was to cover it—and what a fascinating lit-

One day not long ago she, in a fit of pique packed up her duds and left him, vow­ing never to come back. The news got around amongst the neighbors—you know how intelligence of all kinds does travel in the country—and at night several of them, of whom I was one, went to condole with Hans.

The following story about President Lin­coln is certainly characteristic: Soon af­ter he went to Washington he attended the Foundry Church, occupying a seat within the altar while Bishop Simpson preached a missionary sermon. After the collection was taken at the close of the sermon, and as tlie congregation was about to be dis­missed, an irrepressible brother rose and proposed to be one of a given number to raise one hundred dollars to make Presi­dent Lincoln a life director of the mission­ary society. Tiie proposition was put, and brothers A. B. and C. responded glibly. But the inevitable pause finally came. Part of the money was wanting. When the Bishop announced, “ Who will take the balance?” the pause became slightly op­pressive. Then tiie tall form of Lincoln was seen to rise, a long bony arm wns ex­tended imploringly, and he said, “ Bishop, this is the first time I have ever been placed upon the auction block. Please let me pay the balance myself, and take me down.”

“ Just exactly as I thought. He smiled as softly as nn angel when he wrote that down, but he was smiling at the wrong woman !• While I was at home milking the cow s nnd h av in g nn aw ful hnndanhe. he was eating his high-toned meals like a sec­ond John Jacob Astor; And now he has put down fifty cents for seeing the bears.”

“ The what? ’’“ He says it costs him fifty cents to go

to tlie menagerie and see tho bears,” she explained.

“ If there was a menagerie in town on that day then I didn’t hear of it,” solemnly remarked the officer.

“ Just as I thought—just as I thought! Went in to seo the bears, did he? Well, lie’ll sec several menageries when I reach home! Here is one more item. He says he paid $2 to see tho ropcwalk.”

“ I t was free,” replied the officer." Yes, I thought so—thought so when he

“ You won’t kill him at once, will you?” pleaded the officer.

She looked over his head at the wall, breathed hard, clenched hor hands and an swered:

“ I ’ve ’spected it a long lime, nnd now I ’ll claw him if I die for it.”

She walked np and down the depot with her teeth hard shut and her eyes growing brighter all tbe time, and, when she finally took the train for home, the bill of expenses tightly clutched in her band, the officer looked after the receding train and mused:

REMEDY FOR D IP H T H E R IA .

The New York Herald publishes tho fol­lowing letter from the Russian Minister at Washington, in which that high official communicates a mode of treatment of diphtheria which has been used successfully in Russia and Germany:—

I mperial Russian Legation, ) Washington. Nov. 16, 1879. (

To the Editor of the Ileruld:—In view of the increase of diphtheria in

several places of the State of New York I hasten to communicate to you for publicity a very simple remedy, which, having been used in Russia and Germany, may prove effective here. Out of several others, Dr. Letzerich, who made extensive experiments in tiie application of the remedy, has used it in twenty-seven cases, eight of which were of a serious nature, all of which had a favorable result except in one case, when the child died from a complication of dis­eases. For children of one year ho pre­scribes the remedy, for internal use every one or two hours, as follows:—

Natr. Benzoic, pur. 5. 0 solv. in aq. dis- tillat aq. month, piper, ana 40, 0 syr. curs aur. 10.0.

For children from one to three years old he prescribed it from seven to eight gram­mes for 100 grammes of distilled water, with same syrup; for children from three to seven years old he prescribed ten to fif­teen grammes, and for grown persons from fifteen to twenty-five for each 100 gram­mes.

Besides this he uses also with great suc­cess the insufflation on the diptlierial mem brano through a glass tube in serious cases every tlircoAours, in light cases three times a day of the natr. benzoic pulver. For grown people h o p re s c r ib e s fo r g u r g l in g n dilution of ten grammes of this pulver for 200 grammes of water.

The effect of the remedy is rapid. After twenty-four or thirty-six hours the feverisli symptoms disappear completely and tile temperature and pulse become normal. This remedy was used also with tho same success by Dr. Braham Braun and Profes­sor Klebs,in Prague; Dr. Senator, in Cassel, and several others in Russia and Germany.

Hoping that the publication through your widely spread paper will prove bene­ficial in the United States, I remain, yours, very truly,

ONIONS.

A mother writes to an English agricul­tural journal as follows:

“ Twice a week—and it was generally when we had cold meat—I gave the chil­dren a dinner which wns hailed with de­light and looked forward to. This was a dish of boiled onions. The little things knew not that they were taking the best of mediemo for expelling what most chil­dren suffer from—worms. Mine were kept free by this remedy alone. It was a med­ical man who taught me to eat boiled on­ions as a specific for a cold in the chest. He did not know at the time, till I told him, that they were good for anything else.”

The editor of the journal adds: “ A case is now under our own observation in which a rheumatic patient, an extreme sufferer, finds great relief fror.i eating onions freely, cither cooked or raw. He asserts that it is by no means a fancy, nnd he says so after

more buttered toast, till she was told th a t' having persistently tried Turkish baths, Jxxiking galvanism, and nearly all tlie potions and

plasters lhat are advertised as certain allevi­ates or cures.”

Dr. G. IV. Balbour, in the Edinburg Medical Journal, records three cases in which much benefit was afforded patients by eating raw onions in large quantities. They acted as a diuretic in each instance.

Case one was a woman who,fold suffered from a large white kidney, and Constriction of the mitral valve of tho heart. Her ab­domen and legs had been tapped several times but after having used onions as above, she had been free from dropsy for two years, although still suffering from albumi- naria. Case second suffered from heart dis­ease, cierrhotio liver, and (dropsy. Case third had dropsy depending on tumor of the lfver. In both of them the remedy has been used with good results. All other treatment having failed, resource was had to the onions. Under their use the amount passed steadily rose from 10 or 15 ounces to 78 or 100.

New Variety of Celery.—A new and valuable variety of celery which originated near Newark, N. J . is attracting considera­ble attention among market gardeners. It is called the golden dwarf and in size and habit of growth is much the samo as the dwarf white kinds, except that when blanched, the heart, which is large and full, is of a waxy, golden yellow, rendering it a most striking and showy variety, for either market or private use. I t is entirely solid and of most excellent flavor, and one of the best keepers during winter.

“ You remember, sir, you married me many years ago,” said a gentleman to a distinguished preacher in Charlotte, N. C. “ N o; don’t say I married you,” wns tbe reply, “ but that I marified you,” and there­upon he explained the satisfaction of the married man that this was the word that ought to be used, whether it was in tbe dictionary or not, and now he defies anyone to prove thataccordingto nnalagous forma­tion in tho language the word is incorrect. It menns to make married, and that’s what the preacher does.”

thought she saw a way out of her difficulty and exclaimed: “ Well, give me annuzerpiece and send for the doctor.”

A negro was asked if he knew the nature of an oath, to which ho replied, “ Oh, yes, boss, for sartin. My ole marser ’strueted me in all dem tings.” “ Well,” asked the judge. " what is your notion of nn oath? "“ Why, boss, it’s jes’ dis: if I once tells a lie, I ’m to stick to it clean trough to do end.”

A dandy strutting ahont a tavern, took lip a pair of green spectacles which lay on the table, put them on his nose, and turning to the looking glass, said:—

“ Landlord, how do theso become me? Don’t you think they improve my looks?”

“ 1 think they do; they hide a part of your face.”

That is a remarkable fact announced by Mr. Edward Atkinson, that there are more people in tlie world clad in cotton fabrics spun nnd woven by hand, than made by machinery in tlie factories of America and Europe. It seems that there is still room for expansion in tho business of cotton manufacturing.

Mr. Lincoln used to tell a story about a big Hoosier who earae to Washington dur­ing the war, and called on a street Arab for a shine. Looking at tlie tremendous boots before him he called out to a brother shiner across the street, “ Come over and help, Jimmy. I ’ve got nn army contract.”

Tourist—“ That’s not badly painted—that sketch. Do yon know who did it?” Wait­er—“ Yes. sir; that’s a bit o’ master's cous­in’s work." Tourist—"Oil! He’s an ama­teur, I suppose?” Waiter—“ A amatoor? Well, I dunno exactly what lie is; I sup­pose he is some thing o’ that sort: goes traveling about doctorin’ the live stock.”

“ Some more cheese, please,"said a small boy of eight to his papa at dinner. “ No, my child,” was the reply of the prudent parent; “ you liavo already had enough. When I was a child I had to eat my bread and smell my cheese.” “ Well,” said son­ny, “ please give me a piece to smell.”

A very tedions old actor, whose Hamlet occupied four hours, was once playing the part in a country town, and with plenty of emphasis and no discretion wns “ lading out ” the celebrated soliloquy, “ To—be— or—not—to—be,” when an irreverent gal­lery boy called out to him, “ Oh, toss up for it, mister’ and don’t preach.”

“ Yon have such a sensitive heart.” Lau­ra said, arranging the parting of his hair with her deft fingers, “ I saw tears in your eyes to-night at tho concert when Miss Sec- sharp was singing “ The Ring My Mother Wore.” “ Oh, that wasn’t it,” said Tom. with a painful movement, “ just made me think of the shoe your father had on lost night.” And then for a moment or two she didn’t say anything. What'woman could ?

Seyeral young men were sitting togeth ev and a young lady happened to approach the vicinity. One “ real sweet ” young fel­low seeing, ns hesuppossed, the young lady looking at him, remarked playfully andwith a becoming simper, “ Well, Miss-----you needn’t look at me as though you want­ed to eat me.” “ Ob, no,” sweetly replied the young lady, “ I never eat greens.”

Five of Now York’s millionaires, esti­mated to have been worth $300,000,000. dropped off close together. “ Seymour writing to the Hartford Times.sayst “ John Jacob Astor went first, then in quick suc­cession Commodore Vanderbilt, A. T. Stew­art and Wm. C. Rhinelander, and now the money worshipper Goelet. Astor’s wealth is estimated at $50,000,000; Vanderbilt’s at $100,000,000 and Stewart’s about the same. Rhinelander’s property represented it is supposed, $10,000,000 and Goelet’s is estimated at $20,000',000.”

BARN CRACKS.

The Dirigo Rural is somewhat exercised on account of nn editor who is sick and tired of barn cracks and how to stop them, etc., and says:

Now I think barn cracks are very im­portant concomitants of a farm. Barn cracks are, in some cases, the most useful part of the whole barn. When the farmer is a poor coot, lazy, ignorant, and' lets his stock steal their living from his neighbor’s crops, has but scanty feed for them in win­ter, and markets them in their old age at one quarter what they ought to have brought, how could they have lived through a hard winter without barn cracks? With nothing to eat, to deprive them of the keen, fresh air wonld have only been additional cruelty. It is a well settled fact that cattle must breathe, even if they can’t eat, and when circumstances force a farmer to let his stock go hungry all winter, why de­prive them of fresh air? How any sensible editor should have such a hard heart is past understanding.

There are two parties to this question I know very well. One says that a tight barn is warmer than an open one, (they mean a cracked one), but let any man lay his hand on the Dorth side of a tight barn nnd then on an open one on a winter’s morning and note the difference in tbe tem­perature. I should like to hear his conclu­sions.

Whenever I see a great barn with the doors oil', the windows ont, the boards all shrunk up. nnd the e.attle staring throngh the cracks, I can tell you to a pint how much corn the owner raises to nn acre and what he gets for beef, and that’s telling a good deal.”

Women as Poultry R aisers.

The custom practiced in France, of allow­ing the wife so many francs a month or year ns " pin-money,” to use as she pleas­es, is one that should be generally adopted, especially in the United States. On the farm the caro and profits of some, if not all the poultry, could be very properly trans­ferred to the woman of the household. The care of poultry is a business naturally ad­apted to women, as itrequires patience,and attention, and at the same time, kindness and gentleness, traits too often lacking in the sterner sex. There is no event in con­nection with poultry raising, daring the whole year, which has not its interest for those who care for the innocent creatures of the |farm yard. Whether it he feeding grateful bipe'ds, gathering eggs, hatching tho chickens, or reducing the flocks in tbo fall to suit winter quarters, all have their charm, and excite the interest and sympa­thy of their faithful attendants. There is much complaint among physiologists that American ladies lose health nnd beauty earlier than they ought for want of snfli- cieqt out-of-door air and exercise; and this occupation has, amon" its other benefits, that of sending them daily abroad Into the pure, outer air, and inciting a love for ru­ral, natnral beauty not found among those whom no such duty tempts from the fire­side.

r y In the Supreme Judicial Court at Barnstable Mass., last week, Charles Free­man of Pocasset, who, murdered his child last year, in obedience, as he says, to a Di­vine command, was arraigned for the deed. Medical experts having testified as to his insanity, the Court ordered him to be re­manded to jail until the May term. Gov. lying, subsequently issued an order that Freeman be confined in the State Lunatic Asylum, at Danvers, there to remain until lawfully discharged. He is continually talking of his own dual nature. Mrs. Free­man’s faith does not waver. She says that for ten days previous to the murder they felt the presenco of God in their bouse, and during that period Mr. Freeman fasted, eat­ing nothing but bread aud drinking water.

y The long contested case of Bradish Johnson of New Orleans vs. Gen. Neal Dow of Portland was decided on Monday in the United States, Supreme Court at Washington. Mr. Johnson, in the Sixth District Court of New Orleans, April 6 1863, obtained judgment against Gen. Dow for alleged removal from his house of a piano, silver ware nnd olher articles of household furniture, during the rebellion when Gen. Dow commanded a regiment in New Orleans. Thisjudgment Mr. Johnson sued in the Circuit Court of the United Stales for the Maine district and judgment was rendered in his favor, from which Gen. Dow appealed to the Supreme Court at Washington. The latter Court in the de­cision giveu on Monday, holds that an officer or soldier of the army of the United States,whilst in service during the late wnr in a country which acknowledged authority of the confederate government, that is the enemy's country, was not liable to civil ac­tion in the courts of that country for injur­ies resulting from acts of war ordered by him in his military character; nor can he lie called upon to justify or explain his military conduct in a civil tribunal upon any allegation of the injured party that the acts complained of were not justified by the necessities of war. A federal officer in the enemies, country is amenable only to his own government, or to its laws administered by its authority. The Louisiana State Court had no jurisdiction over General Dow, and the present suit cannot be maintained. Judgment reversed with costs. Justice Field delivered the opinion, Justices Clif­ford and Miller dissenting.

Hon. Richard Frothingham, ex-May- or of Charlestown, and one of the most prominent citizens of Massachusetts, died at his residence in Charlestown Thursday night, aged 68.

ET In the United States Senate, Tuesj day, Mr. Bayard, from the finance commit­tee, reported adversely on the Warner sil­ver bill. Mr. Beck, a member of the com­mittee, stated that the repot f t^is not unanimous, and that the minority ifnpld claim a hearing at a future time. In the bouse a protracted and at times exciting debate occurred on the bill to revise the rnles of that body.

ty The Mnine State Temperance Society will meet in mass convention, in Meonian Hall, Augusta, on Wednesday, February 11th, 1880, at 11 o’clock A. M., and con­tinue through Wednesday and Thursday. The society is composed of members of all tempernnee organizations in the State, and is designed to be the medium through which they can unitedly act in the use of all honorable measures for the final over­throw of tlie drinking system and tlie liquor traffic. TJie usual reduction of fare may be expected on the railroads.

t y Tlie Ways and Means Committee, on the funding question, Monday, took several important preliminary votes. First, they decided by a large majority to fund fives and sixes only, and not disturb tlie. fours and four and a halfs. They also virtually decided in funding these bonds to leave two hundred millions to be purchased and can­celled in liquidation of tlie principal debt, if the surplus in the treasury will warrant, in the next two years. While no direct vote was taken on time and rate, it was clearly the sense of the committee to fix the rate at three and a half per cent, for fifty years, with optional redemption after twenty years.

B ” It is stated as a fact, that when the , administration of Mr. Buchanan came in­to power, in 1857, there was less than $20,- 000,000 of public indebtedness, which was increased, before January, 1861, to nearly $100,000,000. At one time the Treasury was absolutely empty and for a week or two could not meet cash warrants issued for the payment of members of'Congress and other officials. To obtain the neces­sary funds for carrying on the Government the Administration of Mr. Buchanan issued $10,000,000 of Treasury notes, bearing 12 1-2 per cent, interest. Mr. Sherman com­menced in the Senate, after the advent of the Republicans to jxjwer, to urgo the re­funding of the national indebtedness at a low rate of interest, and to-day the four per cents of this Republican administration stand higher than did the twelve and a half per cents of Buchanan’s time.

y The official statement of the U. S. currency outstanding at this date is as fol­lows: Old demand notes, $61,340; legal tender notes—all issues—$346,681,016; one- year notes of 1868,$47,525; two year notes of 1863, S13.650; two-year coupon notes of 1865, $23,350; compound interest notes, $250,480; fractional currency, all issues, $15,768,731.20; total, $362,746,095.29. The comptroller of the currency reports the in­crease of national bank notes during Janu­ary, to be $1,344,573, leaving the amount outstanding, Feb. 1st, $342,301,789, not in­cluding the circulation of national gold banks, which is $1,426,120. During the month of January, there has been deposit­ed $3,581,500 o f legal tender notes for the purpose of retiring the national bank-circu­lation. The amount of national bank notes retired by the deposit of legal tender is $210,887, leaving $16,706,370 legal tender notes on deposit for the purpose of retiring the circulation, and showing a decrease during January of such deposits of $3,231,- 613.

ty There is some prospect that our navy will be reorganized, as the National House has agreed to report the bill of Mr. Harris for that purpose. The report to accompa­ny the bill sets forth the results of a careful investigation of the navy. The report says: “ Small as the number of our naval vessels is as compared with other navies of the world it is infinitely smaller in rettl fight­ing power, and it is lime for Congress and the country to face the fact and provide a remedy." The committee emphatically state that there is not a single rifled gun on onr iron clad fleet afloat. Of the 27 tugs which figure on the naval register.nine are reported utterly useless, and theremainder though of use about navy yards, are not in any sense vessels of war.

t y Last Thursday Mr. Hayt, Commis­sioner of Indian Affairs was summarily re­moved from office, a request to be allowed to resign being denied. The cause of this summary dismissal is the withholding of important information from Secretary Schurz relating to departmental affairs. Rumors of a damaging character are afloat in Washington, and it is reported that Ham­mond, late Indian inspector, has made a full confession of his operations, in connection with the deposed commissioner, at the Ari­zona mines. Mr. A. C. Barstow, chairman of the board of Indian commissioners, has also confessed to holding, under an assumed name, a contract for supplying stores to the Indians, and it is expected that still more startling facts will soon come to light.

y Miss Clara B. Nickels, of Searsport, died in Paris, France, on the 23d of January. Miss Nickels was tlie daughter of Capt. David Nickels, and was about 28 years of age, having been born in Searsport on the 28tli of April, 1852. She was passionately fond of music, and to the end devoted her life since leaving school. She accom­panied Miss Annie 1-ouise Cary to Russia, in tlie summer of 1876, where she studied music under celebrated teachers. She went thence to Milan, where she still continued her studies, after which she received an en­gagement in Carl Rosa’s opera company as leading lady, and was to have made her debut in Ixmdon last February, but was prevented by an affection of the thsoat, from which she never fully recovered. Miss Nickels was a lady of rare intellectual qualities, and possessed an amountof energy and will that was far in excess of her physi­cal strength. There are no particulars in regard to her death, the dispatch simply announcing that fact, and stating that her mother, who was with her at the time, would leave with the remains by steamer on the 31st ultimo. Hor father is n o w w ith his ship on the passage from Hamburg to Java.

A ffairs a t A ugusta.Tlie decision of the Justices of the Su­

preme Judicial Court, recognizing the Leg­islature organized by the Republicans as the legal Legislature of the State, settled the business of the Fusion body, which, os­tensibly, adjourned to tho first Wednesday in August. All of the Fusion Senators, with the exception of Mr. Thompson of Knox and Mr. Lamson, of Waldo, and about forty Fusion members of the House —among whom was Mr. Porrv, of Camden, and all the other Fusion members from this county save Mr. Robinson, of Thomaston —have joined the State House Legislature.

The machine being put in good running order, business has proceeded with regular­ity. A large number of petitions for, and remonstrances against setting off the Seventh Ward of this city and incorporat­ing it into a town, have been presented, and the fight is to be resumed. Gen. Tillson and others petition for an act of incorpo­ration as a Water Company, to supply the citizens of Rockland with pure water by m eans'of aitesian wells &c. Numerous petitions have been presented for a repeal of the porgic law. Others for a reduction of the fees of Inspectors of Lime. I t is not yet decided about the new State valuation, whether a commission shall he appointed by the Governor to make the valuation. The committee are not agreed in the mat­ter-one part wishing for a commission consisting of two members at large and one from each congressional district; the other part wishing for one member from each county.

A petition has been sent in to restore the number of Supreme Judges to eight; also to restore their former salary. Tho bill which passed last year, reducing the sala­ries of the Judges affects only the new Judges as they may bo appointed.

Mr. Sawyer, who was elected Secretary of State by the Fusionists, held on to the Stale seal and all the official returns, until he learned there was a warrant out for his arrest, when he delivered them up, “ under protest.”

The Judiciary Committee have under con­sideration a proposition to remove all the county officers illegally counted in by Gov. Garcelon and his Council. The removal of Mr. Mace, County Attorney of Penobscot, is highly probable.

Gov. Davis’ message is to be delivered to the Legislature this afternoon, in convention of both branches of the Legislature.

Treasurer Holbrook has filed his bond and will take possession of the office to-dav.

A movement has been made by Senator Patten, of Penobscot, to restore the death penalty.

The Committee on County estimates has baen appointed. Mr. Hills, of Union, is the member from Knox County.

The Senate have made Messrs. Sprague A-Son State printers. The House was to take up the subject to-day.

Elisha W. Shaw, of Newport, formally years a deputy sheriff, is a candidate • for Wardensliip of the State Prison.

GT In the U. S. Senate, last week, Mr. Cameron, in presenting one of the petitions for Mr. Weaver’s bill for making the pay of the soldiers equal to wlialgold was worth a t the time they were paid, made the start­ling statement, that be believed every one of the signatures to be a forgery. The pub­lic is prepared to believe this, knowing something of the methods by which the Weaver bill has been pushed. I t is not creditable to the soldiers to believe that they, in any considerable numbers, would sign a petition for uny such nefarious scheme for financially wrecking the government. The soldiers, as a rule, fought for their country, and were willing to take its mon. ey as it then was for their pay, and expect nothing further.

The report of the Commissioners of Fish­eries for 1879—E. M. Stiilwell and Everett Smith—has been received. The Commis­sioners think half a million of salmon and trout eggs should be annually hatched and turned into Sebago Lake for several years, to bring it up to its former high standard. Salmon in the Penobscot river were more plenty in the spring of 1879, than they have been for a number of years. The Com­missioners had on hand at the beginning of the year 160,000 land-locked salmon ova, 18,000 Jtangeley trout and 10,000 blue back trout. After the fish were hatched they were distributed in different parts of the state. Hatcheries have been established at Rangeley on the Androscoggin, and Moose- head on the Kennebec. The Penobscot has now attained the rank of being the first river on the Atlantic coast of the United States to which the salmon have been restored in such numbers as to afford a valuable fishery, and it is now in every sense a “ salmon river.” The amount of salmon taken from the river in 1879 may be estimated by tons. The Commissioners think that Maine is not only capable of producing all the fish needed for home consumption, but can in the future supply markets now dependent upon the Canadian provinces. Wc have laws enough, but the chief fault is in the power of enforcement.

Ma jor Israel Bootliby, Cashier of tlie First National Bank at Augusta, and who had been in the employ of that institution for twelve years, committed suicide Tues­day morning, by shooting himself in the head. I t appears that he was very deter­mined in his purpose. He went to the bank, building, prepared his pistol, and then attached two heavy window .weights to his legs and stepped down into the cis­tern at the farther corner of the cellar, under the bank room, nnd fired his pistol, the ball passing entirely through his head, which must have killed him instantly. He was a little over 53 years of age. No cause is known for his committing ttte deed; but it is supposed that he was laboring under temporary insanity .caused by overwork and ill-health. His accounts with the bank are believed by • the directors to be all straight and correct. Bank Examiner Humphrey was telegraphed to come to Au­gusta as soon as possible and examine the situation of the affairs of the bank.

Monday, as a farmer was hauling logs on a heavy team, a short distance above Saccarappa, in attempting to cross the Port­land and Rochester track, the heavy sled stuck fast and the utmost exertions of tlie horses could not move it. Just at this mo­ment the train came in sight. The man hurriedly detached the horses from the sled and was none too soon. The train at ful. speed struck the sled with tremendous force. Not much damage resulted to the engine but the sled was broken to pieces It was a narrow escape for the man and horses.

t y Last week B. II. Mace Esq., County Attorney for Penobscot county, published in the Maine Standard a communication over his own signature, grossly attacking the opinion recently given by the Supreme Judges and denouncing the Court as usur­pers and an oligarchy. On Tuesday, in the Supreme Court at Bangor, Judge Peters presiding, Mr. Mace ate humble pie, by making an apology for publishing such a communication, saying he meant no disre­spect to the Court,

E d itoria l Correspondence.Kansas Cjtv, Mo., Jan. 26, 1880.

We came from Chicago to this city fiver the popular Chicago, Burlington and Quin­cy and Hannibal and St. Joseph roads. No better equipped road runs out of Chicago, than theC. B. & Q. and with its connections it affords an unsurpassed route to Omaha' Kansas City, Topeka, and other points. The old, reliable Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad runs in nn almost straight line ncross the State of Missouri, nnd cannot be surpassed in the inducements it offers the traveler. Its road-bed is first-class and its entire equipment and service of the best. A special inducement for travelers between Kansas City and Chicago, to choose the route over the Hannibal aud St. Joseph and the C. B. & Q., is that the celebrated Horton reclining chair cars nro run through be­tween the two cities, via. Quincy over this route. These splendid coaches are free to through passengers, and are a luxury which the traveler who has tried them cannot fail to appreciate. These reclining chairs, which are elegantly upholstered, are readi­ly adjustable at any required angle, afford ing either a luxurious seat or a comfortable betl, as occasion demands. We prefer the Horton chairs to the accommodations of a Pullman, to say nothing of saving $3 on the expense of the trip. Pullman sleeping coaches and elegant dining cars (in which first-class meals are furnished ^ t 75 cents each) are also run over this route.

The'cotintry for many miles beyond Chi­cago, was not particularly inviting to East­ern eyes. The land of the suburban towns southwest of Chicago is low, flat prairie, with wnter in many places coming to the surface of the soil. The sites for new streets and avenues on these unbuilt suburbs are marked by a ditch^m either side, filled with water to the surface. Farther on ap­pear cornfields in endless succession, the surface of the country assuming a more rolling aspect. The appearance of the fields would seem to indicate that corn is almost the only crop raised by the farmers of this region, and whether grass enough is grown for the cattle, or whether they are restricted to a corn-fodder diet is a problem which exercises the traveler passing through this region. Between Galesburg, 164 miles from Chicago, where we arrived at 5.30 P. M., and Cameron Junction, where the train stops for breakfast, of course we could sec little or nothing of the faceol the coun­try through which we were passing. But from this point to Kansas City, the small section of the western part of Missouri through which we passed agreeably sur­prised us by tho appearance of thrift and good husbandry which it presented. Broad and well-fenced corn-fields, orchards and grass-fields; large and commodious farm houses of wood or brick, and ample barns, all of the comfortable and thrifty sort which one sees in the best farming sections of New England, gave evidence that farmers here understood their business and had made it profitable. This, how­ever, is not a fair sample of “ Missou­ri,” but rather of the influences of thrift and progress exerted by the neighborhood of Illinois and Iowa on the North and Kan­sas on the west. Southern Missouri is still cursed with all the thriftlessness, stolidity, nnd barbarism which has so long made it a reproach, and left it in the slough of its be­nighted condition, while neighboring north­ern States have been making such strides in the march of progress. A gentleman of this city, engaged in the lumber trade re cently proposed to purchase a valuable tract of black walnut timber in a Missouri town. He went to the town where this lumber was located with the intention of carrying out his purpose—which, by the way, he was unaware was known to more than two or three persons. As he wasteit ting on the piazza of the village tavern, af­ter his arrival, he was approached by a delegation of three or four native Missouri­ans who inquired if he designed to make the purchase referred to. On being ans­wered in the affirmative they informed him that it would not be allowed and insisted that he should leave the town by the next train which he was obliged to do. The gentleman said that if he had made the con­templated purchase it would have resulted in the expenditure of $15,000 per month in the town in carrying on his business; but this was no inducement to the “ con­servative ” citizens of that highly intelli­gent community to permit an irruption of outside enterprise upon their time-honored ignorance and barbarism. This is an actu­al fact, as is also said to be the story that a newly arrived Eastern family who came to settle in another Missouri town and brought their piano, were in like manner waited upon and informed that they must send away or destroy that instrument, as no such innovation, could be permitted!

Kansas City, as many of our readers are aware, is situated at the extreme western border of Missouri, on the Missouri and Kansas (or Kow) rivers. The Missouri bends around the city from the north to the east, and the Kansas flows into the larger river at the former point. Along the river front is a wide strip of low, flat land, called “ the Bottoms,” admirably ad­mirably adapted for the purpose, where are the railroad depots, tracks and freight yards; the stock-yards, packing houses and much of the wholesale trade is here located. Skirt­ing this, high bluffs, rising from twenty-five to fifty feet, extend back to tho south and east, intersected by deep ravines, and here the city is located. All the ground now covered by the city (above the “ Bottom,”) presented originally the forbidding aspect of a series of rough high bluffs, covered with scraggy timber and intersected with a series of ravines running north and south. This was indeed the appearance of the place not more than twenty-five yearsa"o, when what is now perhaps the most rapid­ly growing city of the West, was simply a river landing, with a few settler’s cabins in the vicinity. It was then known ns “ WeWport Landing ” —Westport, some three miles away, being the northern termi­nus of the Santa Fe stage route. Now, Kansas City claims a population of 60,000. The bluffs have, of course, been leveled down in many places and the ravines filled up, nnd this " leveling ” process is con­stantly going on. The site of the fine block of houses in which these lines are written (corner of Walnut and 7th street) was a few months ago a high bluff whose summit was nearly as high as the top of the house itself, and on the three op­posite corners the bluff rises above the street level from twenty to thirty feet. Business is very lively here, and everybody here says Kansas City is ultimately to be as large as Chicago. Eleven railroads now center here nnd more are coming. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific has but

large business which it will do here. Scores1 Freeman Hanson of Saco River inventedof business buildings nnd of fine residences' a machine that would turn out buttons of

____ „ ,, , an oval pattern, and any number of styleshave gone up the past season and many of car N a t i o n of an/ conceiTable sbipe. other building contracts are only waiting In some way tho matter got into our courts for the brick which cannot be produced , in a contest over the patent, and has justfast enough at this season of the year to meet the demand. The brown clay in the bluffs here is excellent brick-making ma­terial and large quantities of bricks are burned here—the manufaeture being now mainly suspended till early spring. On Delaware street alone (a street nearly par­allel with Main and into which trade is rapidly flowing) about a dozen business buildings—some or them very large nnd handsome ones—have been erected within a few months, anti as many more are said to be under contract for next season. Kents are high nnd dwellings and stores in brisk demand. We heard a contractor say yes­terday that there had been fifty applications for a house he had just completed. Since tho first of last July more than 10,000 new names have been left at the Post-Office here for the delivery of mail matter. Half the people one meets have been here but a few months, and a person who has been here a year assumes the role of an “ old resident.”

The city is supplied with water from the Kansas river by tho Holly system,and with whisky and kindred fluids by an unlimited number of bars, saloons, beer-shops and groggcries.under the license system—which seoms to be practically “ freo rum,” so far as tho privilege of selling it is concerned. Many of the saloons on Main Streep are elegantly fitted up and have billiard rooms attached. The rent paid by the keepers of such places must be not less than $150 per month. The city has a pretty “ rough ’’ reputation and it is said that it is not safe for a lady to be out in the evening without a male escort. The police force of tho city consists of only twenty-four men, which is onsidereJ' quite inadequate for a city of

the size and character of this, and with so large a “ floating population.”

Kansas City is not a beautiful place, by any means; and besides it is very dusty in dry weather and very muddy when it rains. Everybody to whom you disparage tlie at­tractions of tlie place will say in effect: “ No, Kansas City is not a very attractive place, but it is the best place for business in tho West.” In a few years, however, the appearance of the city cannot fail to be greatly altered for the better ;by grading and other improvements. The city is well supplied with schools nnd churches, and though the roughness of a Western city of “ rushing ” growth is very apparent, the moral and social condition of the commu­nity can hardly fail to improve with its prog­ress in important material aspects. Two flourishing morning dailies and a small eve­ning daily are published here, besides the usual complement of weeklies.

Eastern capital is very largely interested here, Charles Francis Adams being proba­bly the largest outside owner of Kansas City property—his interests here being popularly reported at half a million. There are extensive stock-yards here and several large packing establishments, the largest of which (Plankinton & Armours’) converts into pork about 3000 hogs per day, when running at full blast. Another large pack ing establishment is to be removed here from Atchison in the spring.

Among the pleasantest incidents of our stay here was the meeting of a former citi­zen of Rockland now located here—Mr. A. C. Pease. Mr. P. is a wide-awake business man aud we know that scores of his Rock­land friends will join us in tbo wish that lie may more than repair in the West his busi ness losses in the East.

Tho weather during our fow days stay in Kansas City has been lovely—mild as Octo­ber. no ice, no snow, but fair, beautiful weather. The winters nro never very se­vere here, but the present temperature is exceptionably mild for tho season. V

been decided in favorof the Maine owners. A company has been formed, with $50,000 capital, and all the stock is owned by Port­land men, and none of. it is in the market.

The other day, as Mr. Asa Dyer of Lit­tle Chebeague Island was off Crow Island, he caught sight of a shark just in front of his boat. Springing to his feet, he seized a long boat-hook and struck at the huge fish. The hook sunk into the shark’s eye so deeply that he was held fast, nnd Mr. Dyer brought it in tow to Little Chebeague Island, where it was dragged ashore and killed. The shark measured thirteen feet and four inches in length.

Local Summary.—On Monday evening a large party met at the Methodist parsonage to pay their congratulations to Rev. and Mrs. W. Henry W il­liams, on the tenth anniversary of their marriage.

The dwelling formerly known as the parsonage, and owned by the Ladies Sewing Society, has been sold to E . P. Walker, Esq.

The ladies’ Shakesperian club is making fine progress in the study of the great dramatist un­der the careful guidance of Mrs. N. M. Hopkins. This lady also has a class in elocution, or as she terms it “ vocal gymnastics.” With reference to this latter, she claims that the mechanical proper­ties of the vocal organs are such that the natural tendency of the voice is to the guttural sounds, in the effort at articulation, or rather the sound is pitched from the throat or larynx, when properly the expression should be formed at the forward part of the mouth and lips. This habit of “ gut­turalizing ” is something to be fought and correct­ed, and nothing but persistent drill can overcome it. The guiding spirit of any well regulated fami­ly who believes in the efficiency of the “ curtain lecture ” should not fail to profit by the limit here­in contained, as nothing adds so much to the im­pressiveness of these little domestic scenes as a well-modulated and emphatic voice!

A singing school was organized here last Mon­day evening. It is under the direction of Mr. Winterbotham, an old veteran at the business. When such an opportunity for “ voice culture ” is presented it should not be neglected.

It would scein that pedcstrianisni is a drug in the market. Better devote their efforts to a more worthy pursuit. _

On Monday, Jan. 2Gth, a gloom of sadness was cast over our village by the receipt of the news of the death of Miss Carrie Smith, the only surviv­ing child of Hon. Edwin Smith of this town. About a year ago she was seized with that fatal disease, diabetes, and all that careful nursing and medical skill could do, did not avail to arrest the malady. About four months ago, her parents went with her to Boston, and placed her in charge of a physician, who has had had great succei the treatment of these peculiar diseases, and it was thought that, with her youth to aid, some help might be obtained. To her parents, who remained with her, and cared for her, tlic prospect seemed encouraging, and tlic symptoms more favorable up

ithin a few days of her death. But Satur­day the 17th, she complained of the atmos­phere being oppressive, and seemed to have a cold. She grew worse, and in one week after died at the Quincy House in Boston. She was 23 years of age, and until attacked by this disease had be. fore her the propcct of a long and useful life. She was to her parents a companiou and support. Her circle of friends was large, and every villager knew that Carrie had for them a salutation and word of cheer. She was the only survivor of a family of three children. Her parents are truly afflicted, and they have the deep and heartfelt sym­pathy of all their neighbors and friends.

The funeral took place at her home in Warren, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock, and was at­tended by the Rev. Mr. Wm. Walker, Rector of St. John’s Church, Thomaston.

NATIVE CLIMBERS.

N ature, like the artis t, is never quite satisfied with naked walls and unadorned corners. Even the wayside stone bears on its surface the most delicate of lichen etchings, and in all the forest there is scarcely a tree but wears some drapery of moss or vine. From the most neg­lected corner of the tumble-down rail- fence we find gorgeous banners flaunt­ing themselves in the eyes of every passer, and without a semblance of maiden coyness yielding themselves to the embrace of every zephyr.

Perhaps there is no feature of na­ture which appeals more to our hearts than this tenderness of h e rs ; this lov­ingness with which she clasps the rough­est objects to her bosom and binds them fast with cords of living green, until they lose their unseemliness, and are a pa rt of one perfect whole.

In these latter days, when walkin' bids fair to become one of the fine arts, what opportunities we may have to look after this dear mother of ours, and com-

Tfort ourselves with her methods of * mutv and g race : fqv she is always

/ iltiful, and never ungraceful, per- ’recause she has “ all out doors ”

for her housekeeping, and will not be hurried in her undertakings. Then, too, she understands the trifles that make perfection, and so reaches the perfection tha t is no trifle.

W e read of the skies of Ita ly—the purple vintage of its slopes—the mur­mur of its flowing rivers—but what skies can be bluer than those which our own June bends over us? And do we not all know some stream so translucent tha t on its surface we seem poised half­way between the heaven above and an­other heaven below, while the banks drape themselves in the graceful green­ery of the wild grape, whose clusters of fragrant blossoms fill the air with de­licious sweetness, and whose branches dipping into the water beneath form with their luxuriant broad-leaved foli­age, an arbor worthy the trysting-plaee o f ancient Faunus and Naiad, or mod­ern Lover and M aid ! Going up the same stream in October, we find all things changed “ into something rare and strange,” for the hand of autumn has the Midas touch which transforms into gold. The vine, though partly shorn of its beauty, and with its fruit withered into still purple raisins, lets fall the sunlight in bright patches on the darkened water beneath ; and what sunlight is half so lovely as that of Oc­tober, which, though it may lack the brightness o f spring, brings a calm ful­filment of summer’s most gracious promise ? W hat need to go four thou­sand miles to see Italy , when more than Ita ly awaits us a t our own door? And we may find on every river-bank and hillside, grapes, which, though not the grapes of Eschol, cannot fail to give us the wine of a new life even as we gath­er th em !

N ature is full of atonements. All summer long the Cedars and Pines stand gloomy and dark, with none of the fluctuant curves and graceful droopin_ branches with which the other trees

‘.Trige themselves, while t ! ' i only con­trast .amid their dark foliage is an occa-

, sional glimpse of lighter green; but with October comes a change. Each tree disrobes itself after its own manner. The Maples shed their leaves in one tempestuous scarlet rain. The yellow Beeches detach theirs more slowly and with an almost audible effort; while the Oaks, with the dignity of those ac­customed to change, drop theirs with scarcely a rustle, until finally we have left only graceful outlines and clinging birds' nests—“ those leaves tha t do not fail to give us happy memories of sum­mer hours.” Then Pines and Cedars de­velop a new individualitj'—dark, and somber still, but clear cut as any granite obelisk they stand against the pale au­tumnal s k y ; while above, around, and woven through their pointed tops is the Bittersweet vine, its light-green foliage all gone, but its scarlet and yellow ber­ries brightening all the dark outlines with their vividness of coloring, like floods of living sunlight—the common way-side tree transformed as by a mira­cle into the burning bush from which a God might speak.

The Bittersweet by no means confines her attentions to the Cedar, though she is never quite so effective elsewhere, but has a way of haunting old stone walls and straggling along lonely country roads ; she is a wayside miss on whom no dependence can be placed, as she will sometimes astonish us with a won­derful luxuriance of growth all summer, and then sends us away in autumn with the merest spray of berries to brighten our winter parlors, while again, with much less ado, she will load us down with long branches ofherbrilliant fruit, tha t, woven into wreaths, fasten the glory of autumn on our walls until spring comes again.

Much more certain, though more shy, is the dear old vine, Clematis, with its snowy cloud of bloom late in sum­mer : when the white blossoms so plenti­ful in the early year, have nearly all given place to the reds, yellows and purples tha t make gay our summer landscapes. A rambling denizen of the woods, delighting in obscure fence cor­ners, struggling up through piles of brush, shunning the society of man, but loving his tender neglect—beautiful when in bloom, it is still more lovely when covered in the .fall with its silvery- tufted fruit (from which has arisen the quaint name o f “ Old Man’s Beard,”) shining in the sunlight as it sways to and fro in the autumn winds. Every boy and girl who knows aught of wood- lore can tell where it grows, and I think there is hardly a plant that inhabits our roadsides and fence corners so well known, or tha t brings more loving mem­ories of early days than the trailing white blossoms o f the Clematis.

B nt running rio t over all and above all, climbing trees and fences alike, swinging green banners on every breeze all through the summer, and throwing o a t red ones iu the autumn—running with rapid feet through stony mead­ows, embracing every rock and old stump—laying soft, clinging hands on every wall and every barren hillside, the utmost abandon and luxurience in all our summer growth is reached by the V irginia Creepers, or the Woodbine, as it is commonly called. No soil is too poor for it—no place too lonely—all summer it hides modest flowers under its dark green glossy foliage, and few suspect the the treasures i t is hoarding up. One of the first changings o f au­tum n, none are more gorgeous in their coloring; and for a little while it bright­ens and vivifies all the landscape. The scarlet and crimson of its leaves, and

graceful branches, makes the brightest coloring in our October woods and fields, and, long after unkindly rains and bit­te r winds have'seattered its ripned and foliage, it holds out the treasure accu­mulated through the summer, its lovely bunches ot crimson-purple fruit to the belated bird, and is never more attrac­tive than when enacting this role of charity.

In all nature’s deeds there is a hint of something yet to come, and though the vines sway leafless in the November winds, a watchful eye may see already formed the buds which another spring shall open into beauty, and the waiting between is only like a waiting from sun­set to another sunrise.— Vick’s Maga­zine.

THE WIDOW’S L IF E OF FA ITH .

The Widow Bardy lived on a a side street in the small town of Brookville. She wis a litde, wizened body, but her generous, loving nature was by no means represented in her wrinkled and' withered exterior any more than a diamond ring could be repre sented by its dusty and faded case. Her pleasant, sunny temper was more like God’: sunshine than anything else, for it had brightened the very clouds of her life until now, at the approach of'sunset, her sky was rich with the crimson and gold of love and peace.

Not much, indeed, was there in this poor woman’s lot in life to give her such con­tentment,for she had had poverty and weak­ness to combat with through long year: but these giants which have quenched hope in many a heart failed to intimidate her God had crowned her victor over these and many other troubles through fulfilment of the promise “ Thou wilt keep him in per­fect pence whose mind is stayed on Thee.'

The Widow Bardy earned a scanty living by drafts upon the plans nnd resources and employments tp which poor widows have always had recourse; she did a day’s work now and again when she could get it to do she nursed sick people, such as could not afford to pay for more experienced nurses and she hud a basket of tapes, buttons, pin etc., with which she went from house to house in Broookville and honestly tried to give her customers full value for their money.

The widow was obliged to work hard, for she had a family to support. They were not of her own kindred, for there were none living to whom she was united by the ties of blood. But it was quite impossible for her to close the door of the heart; neither the ivy vine and weeds of selfishness, nor the rust of slothfulness twined about its hinges; it stood wide open,so that through it had crept into her home as motley a fam ily its ever dwolt harmoniously under one roof. There was Granny Jenkins helpless and blind. Her townsmen had consigned her to the almshouse, or would have (lone so had not the Widow Bardy offered her shelter, remembering the golden rule, and knowing there was little comfort under the government of foreign oflicials in the county poorbonse.

There were also the twins, Tilly and Milly, as they were called; Matilda and Pamelia, as they had been christened

Their mother would have died friendless and alone, had not Widow Bardy stood a her bedside and lighted her last hours by promising to provide for the two cryin„ children who, at her death, would, become orphans. And, as if the care of the aged and of children did not give work cnougl for the declining strength of the poor wid ow, there came to her door one day a poor imbecile, familiarly known in the town simple Pote ;hocame and refused to go away. With that certain foxy cunning which some­times comes to take the place vacated by the higher faculties, he seemed to recognize the weak spot in the widow’s heart, and to know that although everyone else might drive him away, she would not, and he was right. She remembered how his poor moth­er had wrestled with sickness and poverty to keep a home for her ill-witted boy; and now the boy had none to care for him, it seemed natural that he shouldcome to her.

•• If hehasamind to stay, poor creature,” she said, “ it is not in me toset him adrift.”

She excused herself—somehow people do have to offer some excuse wl»n they go out of the narrow path in which their neigh­bors walk—she excused herself to the won­dering and fault-finding, with the plea that she needed some one to bring in wood and water. But she failed to make her excuse valid, for she never obliged 1‘ele to go out in cold or wet weather, but did the work herself, which he professed to do in order earn his portion of daily bread.

How the widow managed to support this family no one could tell. It was with her a daily life of prayer and work. She lived Muller’s life of faith, although she did not call it such. Why should she ? Muller’s! Nay, it was the Christ life she led. Her faith and love blossomed out in good deeds. In one period of the world’s history she might have been burned as a witch, for site managed to live and support her burden­some family, nobody knew how; or in some other period she might have been canonized as a saint, for her bread was supplied as by a constant miracle. The daily self denial by which she eked out the scanty loaf was only known to God, and in that sense she fed her poor dependents with the bread of Heaven.

There is, however, a generous response in the hearts of good people at the sight of unselfish benevolence, and many a basket of nice food, and many a warm garment found its way to the widow’s house, although she never asked for help. •• These things came,” she said, “ in direct answer to prayer.” How far you agree with her, de­pends upon your opinion «s to this life of faith just now so much talked about.

We now come to an incidem in the wid­ow’s history which brought her, for the time, more prominently into public notice, and threw a little of the light of romance over her every-day life. It seemed tochangc the aspect of her homely charity, just as at times the dew and sun combine to deck with glittering gems the common grass in our door-yards.

The same Providence which rules even the fall of the sparrow, ordained that an accident which occurred in the town of Brookville should happen directly in front of Widow Bardy’s house, and her good deeds so long done in secret were, through it, rewarded opef^.

Josiah Ferguson, a rich old bachelor, and one of the prominent men in the town, had purchased a new horse, and with undue confidence in the knowledge of horses, be trusted to his own managemebt of the spir­ited animal. His confidence was misplaced as he found to his sorrow when, an hour after, he lay seriously injured before the door of Widow Bardy. She ran out to his assistance. Tilly and Milly were sent for the doctor, and simple Pete for the neigh­bors. Josiah was carried into the widow’s humble home and laid on a bed from which he never arose.

The Lord had a lesson both for Josiah Ferguson and Widow Bardy; to the one He taught the lesson through two weeks of great suffering; to the other through two weeks of constant care and wakefulness. What Josiah learned was the value of a God fearing, unselfish heart. The lesson taught the widow was one which few of us need; because to souls less generous than she, it comes naturally. Sho, dear soul, learned that there is a limit to human endurance, that she was too weak and worn out to work much longer. Perhaps a kind Provi­dence gave her this lesson as a preparation for the greater appreciation of the gifts she was about to receive.

Josiah had led a thoughtless and there­fore a godless life. He was rich and wise as to wordly things but poor and ignorant as to heavenly things, but his soul was not entirely encrusted with worldliness; there were chinks and crevices through which the sun might still shine into the better na­ture within.God let him see what a noble life was. Des­pite her poverty and want he recognized in the ministrations of this poor woman one of those who have been made as kings and priests unto God. In the intervals of suf­fering he watched from his sick bed the little world in the next room. He saw her as she fed blind Granny Jenkins, as she ta ught the twins, as she darned the stockings

and mended the jacket of simple Pete. He noted the fact that at meal time her own plate was the most scanty, and that she de­nied herself the food she needed and who for? For her own children? Was it the animal instinct by which even the lower animals enre for their young? Nay, those for whose sake she denied herelf had no claim on her except that which her own generous nature had instituted.

Josiah took note of this, nnd it fell upon his heart as seed dropped into furrows newly plowed.

One day the physician felt it his duty in reply to the patient’s inquiries to tell that all of life for him would be ended in a few short days at most.

Josiah sent for the lawyer and the min­ister, nnd made his will. After his death it was soon known through Brookville that the Widow Bardy had been left ten thous­and dollars. All Brookville knew it, but the widow herself did not. She was too simple hearted to expeefany return for the care which it was so natural for her to give. She did not look to the present, but to the future for her reward, that is if she thought of a reward at all.

One day the lawyer sent for the Widow Bardy.

“ It is some tax or assessment,” thought she, for she owned the lot of ground on which her small house stood.

She took with her the basket of tapes so as to try and make some sales by the way, something to pay for the loaf which was wanting for summer.

The lawyer’s mother sat darning stock­ings. Her hand was thrust into the toes of

11-darned pair as the widow timidly of- fcied the basket.

Tape or buttons? Not to-day Sally, but sit down. You look feeble, and no won­der. kept up night after night taking care of Josiah. But after all it turned out well for you, didn’t it? Better than most of the things you do; eh, Sally?”

Tile widow, feeble and weary, acq - losced simply because sho didn’t know what the squire's mother meant.

“ But now, Sally,” continued the lady let me give you a bit of advice; when

you get money take better care of it. I d o n 't see as you are called upon to keep the blind, nnd the destitute nnd crazy folks. Let them go to |the poor-house, We are taxed for their support. The country ofli­cials are squandering tile public money, and you are wearing yourself out to feed people that ought to be in the poorhouse.”

Widow Bardy was accustomed to be spoken to as if she had committed some sin by interposing between her poor depend­ents and the almshouse, and she was con­stantly inventing excuses to hide behind. But now she felt so weary that she could think of nothing to say. She wiped the perspiration from her forehead with her red cotton handkerchief, and was quite un­like the cherry creature she had been in former days. Then she sighed and began deprecatingly to say something about the twins “ being tho children of a proud moth­er, and hadn’t the Bible said that the seed of the righteous shouldn’t beg bread.”

But the lady interrupted her, You’ve got nothing to do with making scripture texts turn out right. The Lord will look after that himself. Let me advise you to save your money for yourself, Sally, or you’ll run through it before you know what you are about, You’re very improvident, even your best friends must allow that.”

The old lady emphasized her words with her outstreacbed hand on which was the stocking, the long needle full of stitches being pointed towards her.

Poor Widow Bardy felt quite down­hearted. Save up her money? She had not a penny to buy bread, and to-morrow wtts Thanksgiving.

“ This is a wicked world, Sally; every one will be trying to impose on you I know the world better than you do, and”—

I have observed that when people speak of “ knowing .the world,” they invariably mean the wickedness of the world. I have yet to find the persons who, speaking of “ knowing so much of the world,” allude to the goodness in it.

The lady never finished her sentence in which she proposed to give her experience in knowing the world,” for just then the lawyer, her son, entered, and in boisterous tones lie exclaimed: “ Hallo, Sally, so you’re an heiress, eh? You’ll have to in­vite metoThanksgiving dinner to-morrow.”

The widow was thoroughly bewildered The empty purse in her pocket seemed a poor subject to joke about, and she wns weak from the effect of hunger that very moment.

The lawyer was obliged to g:ve both time and patience to make Sally understand that a legacy had been left her in the will of Josiah Ferguson. That any one should think of leaving her money! It was difficult to convince her that it was really possible.

Tho distant relatives of tfio testator may have begrudged her the money, for none of them knew her, but all tlie neighbors re­joiced that it had been left to her, and I have noticed that people are more apt to re­joice with them that rejoice, than to weep with them that weep. It was certainly significant of the confidence felt in the prin­ciples of this guileless woman that not one in all Brookville for a moment entertained the thought that she had exercised any in­fluence over Josiah Ferguson in regard to the will.

At the Thanksgiving dinner prepared the next day by the widow for her family the legacy was the chief topic of conversation, and their comments on it were as various as their characters.

Simple l ’cte, whose favorite Bible story was that of Daniel in the lion’s den, said the widow was like Daniel. Inasmuch as she had obtained deliverance from the lions of poverty, weakness and want, the poor boy’s idea was not as silly as the twins seem to think it.

Blind Granny Jenkins said that the Bible told folks when they had made a feast to invite tile blind nnd the lame, and they would be rewarded, and that ns the widow had all her life spread her table for just such, now she was rewarded.

The twins regarded the legacy as the ful­fillment of tho many promises in the l’salms, to the effect, that they that trust tho Lord shall not want any good thing.

But while all Brookville looked upon tho legacy in the light of a reward for her goodness, the humble woman herself could not be made to believe that she had done anything worthy of reward. She accepted what God gave her with a grateful heart, none the less so because in her humanity she accepted it as a free gift from God and not a reward of merit.

By its use the food is easily digested, the bowels become regular, the kidneys stimulated, the blood becomes pure and rich, all blemishes and humors disappear and every impurity is carried oft' by nature’s gates.

But a combination of the E xtract o f Celery AND ClIAMOMILE, which has been but recently in­troduced to the profession and the public by myself, has produced such marvellous results iu curing ner­vousness and headaches, and especially nervous and sick headaches, neuralgia, indigestion and si ness, that it lias excited public attention and new spa per comments; and, therefore, I give the following fn- lonnatiou to the public to avoid answering hundreds of letters of inquiry about them :

My Celery and Chamomile Pills, for the cu headaches and nervousness, are prepared under my supervision, and are intended expressly to cure head aches, neuralgia, indigestion, sleeplessness and nerv ousness, and will cure any case where no organic dis­ease of tlie brain or spinal cord exists. Hundreds of cases of many years’ standing have been cured. N matter liow chronic or obstinate the ease may be, permanent cure is morally certain. This statement is made after years of experience in tlie’r use in the gen­eral prattiee of medicine.

These pills are also valuable for school children who suffer from nervous headaches, caused by an ove worked brain in their studies, and for all classes hard brain workers, whose over-taxed nervous centr need repair and sedation. Nervous tremor, weakness and paralysis are being daily cured by these pills. They correct cost Irenes.’, but are not purgative.

AN ERECT POSTURE.

A writer on health very justly condemns the habit of lounging, in which large num­bers of persons indulge, ns injurious to health. lie says: “ An erect bodily atti­tude is of vastly more importance to health than is generally imagined. Crooked bodi­ly positions, maintained for any length of time, are always injnrions, whether in the sitting, standing or lying posture, whether sleeping or waking.

To sit with the body leaning forward on the stomach, or to one side, with the heels elevated to a level with the head, is not only bad taste, but exceedingly detrimental to health. I t cramps the stomach, presses the vital organs, interrupts the motions of the chest, and distnrbes the functionsof the abdominal and thoric organs, and, in fact, unbalances the whole muscular system.

Many children become slightly hump­backed, or severely round shouldered, by sleeping with the head raised on a high pil­low; when any person finds it easier to sit, or stand, or sleep in a crooked position than a straight one, such person may bo sure his muscular system is badly deranged, and the more careful he is to preserve a straight or an upright position, and get back to naturo again, the better.”

G u ilty o f W rong.Some people have a fashion of confusing excel­

lent remedies with the large mass of “ patent medicines,” and in this they are guilty of a wrong. There are some advertised remedies fully worth all that is asked for them, and one at least we know of—IIop Bitters. The writer has had occa­sion to use the Bitters in just such a climate as wc have most of the year in Bay City, and has al­ways found them to be first-class and reliable, do­ing all that is claimed for them.—Tribunt.

I t still makes the most effectual cures of Coughs, Colds Con sumption, that can be made by medical skill. Indeed the Cherry Pectoral has really robbed these dan­gerous diseases of their terrors to a great extent, and given a feeling of immunity from tlieir fatal effects, that is well founded if the remedy be taken in seasou. Every family should have' it in tlieir closet for the ready and prompt relief of its members. Sickness, suffering, and even life is snved by this timely pro­tection.
