Temperance Convention.

A regular meeting of the Cumberland Coun-
ty Temperance Association was held in the
Chapel of the Seminary at Morrill's Corner,
on the afternoon and evening of Thursday
last. The attendance was large and the adj
dresses spirited.
| / There was music in the speeches, especially
in some of them, but technical music, express
| ly prepared for the occasion or volunteered
was mainly wanting. This was an unfortu-
nate omission, though not peculiar to that
meeting 1t was properly suggested that
choir or club of singers should be an invaria-
BILE attendant upon these conventions, since
their services are perhaps as indispensable as
those of the speakers. 1t is hoped the hint
will be taken and improved, as well in its ap-
plication to more local as to County meetings.
Music is essential to the full success OF tenn
perance gathering.
Among the speakers were Rev. Messrs. Nc
Collister and Record of Stevens Plains, Gen.
Dow, Rev. Mr.. Tuckerman, and Messrs. Wal
ton, Beale, Andrews, Rich, F. N. Dow, Chase
and Lamb of Portland, Rev. Mr. Freeman Of
Peake's Isl nd, Mr.. Elder of Saccarappa, and
.Messrs. Leach, Winship and others Of Cor
ham. '
Hon. Augustus E. Stevens, the excellent
Mayor of Portland, was also present and adj
dressed the Convention in a manner very fe-
licitous, and which elected much applause.
He read an extract from the diary of his de-
ceased father, embracing pledge made in
1928, that from that day forth, Providence as
sisting, he would wholly abstain from the use
of intoxicating liquors.. How well he kept his
pledge those persons who had the pleasure Of
his acquaintance need not be reminded; and
he left his pledge, and the record of life of
the strictest integrity, as rich legacy to the
community, and especially to his children
who carefully follow his noble example, and
upon one OF whom the people of this city
have recently delighted to bestow signal hon:
or. The Mayor of Portland is-as of course
he should bean earnest and uncompromising
friend of temperance. 4 li
H The Seminary at Westbrook, under the care
of Rev. Mr. McCollister and his admirable as
sistants, contains about 200 students, every
one of whom, we undertood the principal to
say, is pledged to abstain from the use of ar
dent spirits. A worthy example, which all
seminaries Of learning would do well to emu
late.
!, The next meeting of the Association, we
believe, will be held the latter part of next
month, at Gorh m village. ,r..-s.--, n

OF new invention that promises to adjust

litter as an attachment to the hoop skirt, for
elevating the dress, with SO slight an inconven-
fence to the wearer that there will be no ex-

leave that work to be done by those who would

The u. S. Consul at Port Mahon, Minorca

Dept of State that United States vessels are
so eagerly sought after about the Mediterrane-

of any other nation. He says, that within
very short time past American vessels could
have been chartered to great advantage. The
grain trade from the Black Sea offers profita-
BILE employment to American ship owners and
is now monopolized by Greeks.

fully convinced that the Mineral Water, issuing in
such abundance from the premises of DR.. j. D. Buzz
ze Cape Elizabeth. possesses ex raordinary eflca-

and commodious buildings FOR the accommodation of

drinking and bathing in this medicinal water.
The chemical analysis of this water, by of the
most scientific, accurate and popular chemists in
New England, A. A. Hayes, M. D., State Assayer,
Boston, Mass, and who does not hesitate to say that
it contains several of the most valuable medicinal ele
ments which render it extremely valuable in the
moval OF great variety of diseases; well the
practical demonstration of its wonderful efficacy in
cures OF cases already too numerous to mention,
must dispe every doubt that this water is equal il
not superior, to any yet discovered in the United
States with the advantage ofbeng entirely free from
all noxious taste or smell.
The Public should also be appraised of the superior
location OF this Spring. IL being only about onehal
mile from the bridge leading from the Portland and
Boston Depot, in pleasant prospect Of the city of
Portland, and where patients and visitors can enjoy
the advantages not only ofsea air. but of bathing in

valuable water to take board their vessels espec
