A PRAYER.-In the State of Ohio there
resided family consisting of an old man
of the name of Beaver, and his three sons,
all of whom are hard pets" who had often
laughed to scorn the advice and entreaties of
pious though very eccentric minister, who
resided in the same town. 1t happened one
of the boys was bitten by rattlesnake, and
was expected to die, when the minister was
sent for in great haste. On his arrival he
found the young man very penitent and
anxious to be prayed with. The minister,
calling on the family. knelt down, and pray
ed in this wise: "Oh Lord We thank Thee
because rattlesnake has bit Jim. We pray
Thee send a rattlesnake to bite John :
send one to bite Bill send one to bite Sam /;

The FINEST SPEECH EVER MADE-The
Westminster Review nronounces Abraham
Lincoln's Gettysburg speech the finest that
ever fell from human lips In view of this
fact, and that it is even more pertinent than
it ever was. we need make no apology for
republishing it, especially as it will but lit
tie occupy space. We give it below.
g Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this continent a
new nation, conceived in liberty and dedi.
Gated to the proposition that all men are
created equal. Now we are engaged in a
great civil war, testing whether that nation,
any nation so conceived or dedicated,
can long endure. We are met on a great
battlefield of that war. We are met to
dedicate a portion of it as the final resting
place of those who here gave their lives that
that nation might live. 1t is altogether
fitting and proper that we should do this
But in large sense we cannot conse-
crate, we cannot haliow this ground. The
brave men, living and dead, who struggled
here, have consecrated it far above our
power to add or detract. The world will
little note nor long remember what we say
here but it can never forget what they did
here 1t is for us, the living, rather to be
dedicated to the unfinished work that thew
have thus far so nobly carried on. 1t is
rather for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us-that from
these honored dead we take increased devo-
ton to the cause for which they here gave
the last full measure Of devotion-that we
here highly resolve that the dead shall have
not died in vain-that the nation shall, un-
ner God, have new birth of freedom. and
that the Government of the people bv the
people, and for the people, shall not perish

Manufactures Of Maine.

In a recent article in the Press, furnished
a statement of the Agricultural resources of
Maine, condensed from the census statistics of
1850. By that it appeared that the value of
the 55,675 farms in the State exceeded seven
ty-eight and half millions of dollars, while
the aggregate annual production showed
source of wealth and comfort which placed
our State in high rank. .-I.a1-.r ..
propose now to present view of the
manuJactariny resources OF Maine, which
must be equally encouraging to our people. =
The aggregate capital invested in manufac-
turing establishments in the United States in
1860, was nearly one thousand and ten mill /,
lions of dollars, employing 1911 ,246 hands,
and turning out an annual product of nearly,
nineteen hundred millions of dollars. The
cost of labor was near BIT millions. and of the /,
raw material over one thousand millions Of
dollars. .;f ...,..........- s.a.r
In New England the capital employed was +.
$257, ATT, 7SS and the annual product $685.
599,2s7. ,+r,. ...--..... ..,r.,. rs ina
In Maine, the number of establishments
employed in various manufactures, was 3,S10,
with capital of s22. OO4O20, employing 34612
operatives at cost of sS3O3,sS1, and cost
in raw material of s21,55S,066. The aggre-
gate value of their product was s3S, ,193 ,254,
showing Maine to be the 14th State in the /,
annual value of its manufacturing industry.

branches of our many sided production:
The Portland daily press., 1866-03-21

Senator Wilson has reported a bill from the
Military Committee for equalizing soldiers
bounties, by allowing to each soldier who serv-
ed in the late war $3.50 per month for every
month of actual service, and deducting from
this amount all bounties paid by the United
states. A resolution has also been adopted,
directing the Military Committee of the House
at an early day to report a bill to equaiize the
bounties of all soldiers and sailors mustered
into the service of the United States. ~
The matter comes up in Congress in conse-
quence Of the action OF the SOLDIERS and Sail
ors' National Union" which met in eonyen-
ton At Washington not long since and ap-
pointed committee to urge this claim upon
the attention of the National Legislature
The matter was at first referred to Provost
Marshal General Fry, who reported that it
would require 1851 ,S92 300 to pay each soldier
the highest United States bounty, in proper
ton to his time of service. General Fry stat
ed in his report, which was prepared in t,oen-
tJ-four hours after the questions were sub
mitted to him, that his figures were mot per-
tectly accurate" Mr.. VIM. s. Morse, of the
"Union," has since reviewed General Fry's
computations in the Chronicle, and reaches
the same conclusion-that the figures are GER
tainly not perfectly accurate"
In brief, Mr.. Morse shows that the total
cost of equalizing the bounties, excluding
drafted men and men whose terms of enlist
ment were for less than one year, win be on
ly $9S,S79, $50, or about $45s,0OO,OO0 less than
Gen. Fry's estimate v.F~irla-1. r4rssif
y To the soldiers individually this bounty
viii be of some assistance, and the country
will not bestow it grudgingly. We confess.
howver, that we do not like the 6ictatorial
tone assumed by Mr.. Morse in urging his suit
and we cannot shake of. feeling that 1t Is
unworthy of the men who volunteered to
fight the eountry's battles, with a clear under
standing of all the conditions of the contract,
now to claim what the Government did not
engage to give, and what they themselves did
not expect. The proposition should have
originated in Congress, and not in a conven-
ton of soldiers and sailors. .Ll ~ Gl .

The counties having the largest productive
value are, Cumberland s6,72I, ,612; York
$8,175, ,42S, its heaviest item being cotton and
woolen goods; Kennebec 81, AGA, ,99S; Andro-
scoggin $685., ,94S, cotton goods and boots and
shoes being its largest items Knox $1,618,777,
nearly half of which was in lime; Penobscot

$1,142, 1856, the largest items of which were
shipbuilding, leather and paper.
In thevalue of Its productive industry, Port /

Portland was Sind in population and Bangor
But since 1850, the manufacturing capital
and industry of the State have very largely in
creased. New mills with large capitals have
been established at Lewiston and other places
which have been in successful operation
The Boot and Shoe and leather business have
been doubled, and the manufacture of paper
greatly extended. In Portland, the sales OF
boots and shoes have increased from two CT
three hundred thousand dollars annually, to ID
near million and quarter. The Portland
Co. has enlarged its business and now manu- 81
fac.ures steam engines, all railroad equipments
and various other products of iron and wood.
Since 1850 there have also been established
entirely new branches Of manufacture, as that
of shoyels and other agricultural tools, and
glass, the first of the kind in the State, and
rolling mill, all in Portland, with large capi-
tails. Besides these, are the Kerosene Co.,
which has come into full operation since the
census of 1860, Duck mandatory, and nu-
merous steam engines employed in the small o
er manufacturers whose aggregate production !
adds largely to the industry and wealth ofthe
State. The census of 1910, will, we think,
place Maine in q conspicuous rank for the
productive industry, energy and enterprise OF
her citizens, as it already has for their ntelli-
gence, courage and skill in arms, and patriotic
devotion to the integrity and best interests Of
the country. ..r- ,s.-..I., w.

The chemical analysis of this water, by one Of the

1t contains several Of the most valuable medicinal ee

practical demonstration of its wonderful efficacy in
