the same tenor.
The Sunrise says Hon. Noah Barker. for.
merly Land Agent, was in Presque Isle Thurs
day, on tour investigating the claims of per.
sons in that county for land under the treaty
of Washington oil 1912. There are many I'M
settled claims for land, growing out of the
Northeastern Boundary controversy, which 1t
is important should be adjusted in manner
just and satisfactory to all, and Mr.. Barker has
been selected by the Land Agent to make the
preliminary investigations which will prob
ably be acted upon by the Legislature next
winter
The Sunrise learns that OH Monday of last
week, the mills at the mouth of Fish river
Fort Kent, with all the adjoining buildings

The shabby treatment of Chief Justice

amusing anecdotes. A witty counsellor said
the contemptuous rejection OF Judge Chase by
the Democracy reminded him of the fate of the

rates. The freebooters told the applicant he
would have to go through terrible ordeal, be-
fore misunderstanding less than the extrac-
ton of bis teeth, one by one. To this he con-
sented, and the painful operation was submit
ted to. He was then taken to LATTE the pi-

MERCANTILE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION. We
have heard a rumor that the Mercantile Lii
brary Association intend opening their course
with grand concert by Miss Kellogg, the
great American Prima Donna, who has just
returned from her European engagement,
crowned with laurels, and who will be assisted
by the great pianiste, Miss Aide Topp, (who
has created so much enthusiasm in New York
and Boston,) the tenor singer Lott, the well
known basso Susini, and others. We can on
ly trust that the rumor may prove true, for
Miss Kellogg is not only beautiful woman as
well as thorough artist. but she is also per-
feet lady. We have also heard that Vanden-
hof, the celebrated actor and eminent elocu-
ZIONIST will give one of his dramatic readings
during the course.

IF Reverdy johnson has persuaded the Eng.
lish Government to submit the dispute about
the Alabama damages to the arbitration OF the
Emperor of Russia, he has certainly gained a
point. The Emperor is so VIGOROUSLY friendly
to the United States that we may confidently
expect that he will give whatever may be in
our favor his favorable consideration. The
amount Of the loss inflicted upon our mer.
chant marine by the Alabama and other An
glo-Rebel pirates is represented by many mi
lions of dollars. If this vast sum can be add
cd to the available means of our imerchants
during the ensuing winter 1t will be of no in
considerable assistance in tiding them over the
anticipated hard times.

More Causes of Blood Poison

Excessive labor or undue excitement sometimes
occasion serious sickness by causing an accelerated
motion to the blood Grief fear and anxiety hurt by
making the blood to circulate slower. Both causes
may produce serious evils to the health unless pre-
vented by timely aid. Here we are admonished of
the superior advantage of BRANDRETH's PILLS.
For if the blood goes too fast from other
causes, they allay the turmoil and are healing balm
to the brain. While, should the blood circulate tuo
slowly tinting the skin with dark hue they at once
relieve the blood of its excess of carbon thus they
relieve the mind and restore the health. Should an
organ be weaker than the rest there impure matters
from the blood will be deposited. This is the way
jumps, boils, tumors, carbuncles, are produced All
are cured, often prevented, by the use of BRAND
RETH's PILLS.

OPERA.-It is as impossible to translate the

to the "Grand Duchess" (such as references to
well known local institutons) a very agreeable
entertainment was the result The last sum-

he acted very well he does not make the char

HoRATIo ON THE STUMP.-Our dispatches

did this in 1860, but as the net result was only
IL electo' al votes his example can hardly be
regarded as inspiring In the case of Seymour
it is not possible that greater success will at
tend the experiment. 1t is too well understood
that it is the last resource of despairing and
utterly hopeless political managers. To throw
off the fitting reserve which Presidential can
didates usually preserve and plunge into the
noisy arena of political strife, will place Mr.
Seymour at a sad disadvantage, for his strong
point has always department" 1t would
have been far better for him to take the advice
