ss, An exchange tells of a. census rshal in
Aroostook County who found in one family a
pair of sturdy boys aged nine years then
came two rosy-cheeked lasses aged seven
followed by pair of future presidents aged
fve. Struck by the singular circumstances
he "allowed' that that family run to twins
but was "set back" by being informed that
there ''wasn't nary alvin among them. His
investigations developed the following expia-
nation two brothers married two sisters one
brother and one sister died; the remaining
brother and sister, after suitable time had
elapsed, became one flesh, with the above
singular result.

We see it stated that parties in Lewiston
and Auburn, are talking up an excursion, by
steamboat from Bath or Portland, to Boston,
New York, and up the Hudson river to AL
bany. The trip will occupy about ten days.
1t is proposed to charter a steamer which will
be especially fitted up for the trip, providing
all the necessaries and luxures that the ex-
cursionists can desire, on the plan Of the Colt
party now making trip along the coast of
Maine. Negotiations are in progress for the
charter of a steamer. 1t is proposed to make
UP a party of about three hundred gentlemen
and ladies'.

The Chicago Tribune thus addresses itself
to the farmers of the Western States in view
OF the war in Europe:
The prospect of an increased demand in
Europe for American breadstaffs, in conse-
quence OF the war, is advancing prices i'll this
market, and, to less extent, IN those OF
New Yok and Liverpool There is little
doubt tha quotations will be even higher than
! at present, rs the rec ent rise in the currency
quotations of our eApOrtable products is but
little more than the advance III the gold pre-
MUM. If the war in Europe should prove TO
be of considerable duration, wheat may touch
81 70 and corn 81 10 per bushel in this mar
ket.
But it should not be forgotten that the
probabilities are that there will be but a brief
contest Modern war is so terribly destruc-
tive and expensive that few nations which
have large existing debts can indulge in the
luxury for more Than a few months without
being brought to the verge OF bankruptcy.
Tile war for the suppression OF the rebellion
lasted rather less than four years, vet the
South which had no debt TO begin with, was
virtually Leggared long before its close, aud
that was much the longest struggle that has
occurred in what are properly entitled to be
called the days Of modern warfare. A ma
tlUU WHltn u Is vim uSpt at thS W
ginping of the contest, as France is to-day,
and menace d by short crops and internal dis
sen,ions, may be able to keep up her spirits
through a series of brilliant successes, but
could scarcely preserve them after two or
three defeats in the field The probabilities
are that active hostiitivs between France and
Prussia will not be continued beyond one
campaign, and may be ended by one encoun-
ter, as was the case at Sadowa.
This is really an important point for the
grain growers and dealers of the Northwest
to consider. The crops of the present year
will be bounteous, especially corn, and large
quantities OF the old crop yet remain in the
cribs, while the elevators of this city contain
more grain than is usual at this season Of the
wear. The farmers will scarcely find it to
their interest to hold back their grain in hopes
of a large advance in the future. 1t will be
much the safest, and will, in all probability,
prove to be the wiser course, to send their
grain forward while they can realize good
prices, than to woit till the opportunity has
passed away with the return OF peace.

The Gardiner Reporter says that recently.
a delegation Of fifteen or twenty citizens OF
Gardiner rode to the Military Asylum, upon
the invitation of the Managers, to confer with
them in reference to the proposed new road
from the Asylum to Gardiner. An informal
hearing was had, which was carried on in a
conversational manner on the part of both
the Managers and citizens. The original
survey of Mr.. c. j. Noyes was presented,
as were also the surveys of Mr.. Herschell,
which were carefully examined by those
present Mr.. Noyes' survey was for a
straight road from the Asylum, striking the
present road at the commencement Of Kin
derhook Street; it measured four miles and II
third. Mr.. Herschell declared this route i'm
practicable, and presented plans for two new
routes.-one termed the "Short Cut" starting
from the Asylum in a bee line, and reaching
the present road near the schoolhouse, being
FIVE miles and six hundred feet long. The
other was continuation of the "Short Cut
down the valley of the stream, coming out
near Moulton's mill. This was found TO be
six miles and two hundred feet in length.
The .sShort Cut" was deemed of grade
suficiently level to allow of horse railroad
or tramway track; while the latter survey,
though a little longer, was so Level that
railroad could be built at very low figure.
The ...Short Cut" route was apparently the
one that was considered the most feasible by
the Managers, who expressed themselves to
be in favor OF good road to Gardiner. After
a very pleasant interview of an hosr and
hall, the Gardiner delegation returned home.
The Managers authorized Gen. Tilton to
make further examinations and report to
them, so that might come TO some decision in
/ in reference to the matter. The Reporter
believes they win decide to build road, as
they evidently see the advantages of it. IT the
people of Gardiner apa Pittston win manifest
their interest in the enterprise by contributing
+ to its compleiion.t1@ "a

An article in Harpers's Magazine for August
speaks in detail of the American sculptors
and thus mentions Maine artist:
'rFanklin Simmons, who is sometimes
known as the Maine sculptor is i'll his way,
unique, and with as accurate an eye and
touch as any other. He has an ideal power
that in no other man is more clearly united
with faithful and exact detail. His statute of
Roger Williams for our Capitol is MASTER
piece of invention and work; and the leading
sculptor of Rome cuncurred in naming it
one of the very best works that has been
done there. As there is no portrait of Will
lams, the sculptor was compelled to think
the Rhode Island reformer into form, and the
result has been most happy in its combination
of Miltonic intelligence and dignity with
rugged simplicity. In portraits Simmons is
remar kable; and no man in Florence or Rome
puts more of mans life into the marble bust
than he"
