The Saco Democrat says: Mr.. Amaziah
Benson and VIM. Flanders, residing on Oak
Ridge, Lower Biddeford, have shanty on
Whitney's Neck, about 4 miles from their
home. To this they have been in the habit
of driving and going out fishing in small
home several days. Tuesday, Sept. 9th,
they left home accompanied by Lewis En-
mems, boy about Is years of age, son of
Lorenzo Emmons, formerly of Biddeiord, but
now of vinalhaven, repaired to their old
quarters on the Neck and went out in their
boat. Toward night they started to return
and as the wind commenced to blow quite
strong concluded to take in sail. While at
tempting to do so a squall struck and capsiz-
ed them. Fortunately they were enabled to
catch hold on the boat. Night was coming
on and there was every prospect of their
being obliged to spend it in the water if in
deed they were able to hold out till the dawn
ing of another day. They were about miles
off shore with no immediate prospect of res
cue. In the water, chilled through and
through, as Of course they must have been at
this season of the year, death stared them in
the face. The boy Emmons first showed
signs of exhaustion, and his companions were
obliged to hold him as well as themselves to
the boat. He was soon so far gone as to be
unable to speak but they still chung to him in
the hope of being able to save him. But
there is limit to human endurance and at
last, however reluctantly they may have ar
rived at this alternative, they were obliged to
drop him in order to save themselves if indeed
they would be able to do so even after this
sacrifice. Towards morning they were pick
ed up by schooner, taken to Boston and
arrived home Thursday nght. Their pres
ence at their residence was the first notifca-
ton their friends had of the disaster. Mr..
Flanders has but one leg, having lost the
other in the late war.

THE FUNERAL OF DICKENS.

FROM the N. 4. World ....
Nothing could have been more appropriate
or in better taste than the way in which, as
the cable this yesterday informed us, the
funeral of Charles Dickens was con-
Quoted in London. In simple hearse,
without the usual English trappings, says
the despatch, the remains of the great novel
list were carried from the railway station at
Charing Cross to Westminster Abbey How
dreadful, how tawdry, how shocking to every
rational and refined sentiment of the civilized
mind these ''usual English trappings" of the
usual English funeral are, no reader of the
dead writer's novels needs to be reminded.
The hearse with its sable plumes, the horses
caparisoned in black, the mourners with
their huge bands and scarfs, and above all
the mutes-the doleful, vulgar, preposterous
mutes-these were all favorite target of
his satire And this not only be-
cause of their absurdity and their hideous in
congruity with the sad simplicity of natures s
universal ordinance. He lost no opportunity
of making these pomps and vanities ridicu-
lous because he knew how sore burden they
often imposed upon all but the wealthier
classes of English society; how often the
scanty substance of the widow and the orphan
was made scantier by the cruel demands of a
factitious decency. 1t would have been a
kind of outrage upon his memory to have
buried him with all these morbid and maud
lin shows of a simulated and barbaric woe.
Nor could any extravagance of ceremonial
spectacle have added the slightest real dig
nifty to his obsequies who was borne, escorted
by the loving sorrow OF whole nation, to
the majestic mausoleum OF the nations no
blest dead.
1t is curious circumstance, and not un-
worthy, perhaps, of being noted, that this
great writer, so eminently the writer of the
people, should have been the first famous
Epelishman to be laid at rest in England s
stately Valhalla, since its historic glories and
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-06-16

its architectural sublimity have for the first
time been thrown freely open to the people
of England. On Easter Sunday last the pre-
sent excellent Dean of Westminster, DIR.
Stanley, determinedly took this step. He
abolished then the regulations by which for
ages the chapels and aisles Of the Abbey have
been secluded from the free resort of
the populace. Many and most doleful were
the prophecies uttered then of the damage
that the people would be sure to do to the
building and its monuments. These prophe-
cies have been most victoriously brought to
naught. While educated young men of the
upper classes at Oxford have been breaking,
by way of "a lark" into churches, stealing
out of them beautiful works of art in marble,
and destroying those works with fire in the
public places of England's grandest home of
learning, the commonalty of London, the
leads" and costermongers of the great me-
tropolis, have been quietly learning, if not
artistically to appreciate, to respect at least
and to wonder at the medieval marvels aud
the modern ornaments of WestmiNster The
lesson will lose nothing, we may be sure, from
the future association with all that glorious
and imposing past of the name of Charles
Dickens

dwell. They would make the United States
godfather to every colony in which dlsaffee-
ton exists, and intermeddler lin general in
the concerns of the universe We should
never be without foreign war on our hands,
if these impulsive patriots had their way.
We should be Ishmaelites, with our hands
against all other nations, and all other nations
against us. 1t is hardly necessary to say that
this is not a policy which the Republican
party can afford to champion. We have
enough proper business of our own to attend
to without plunging into foreign complica-
tions. From the dangers which statesmen of
the Banks school would precipitate upon the
party, we hope to be saved by the cautious
ness and good sense of the President and the
majority in Congress. These may be relied
upon to show that it is possible to play an
effective part in the affairs of the world
without converting the American Govern
ment into a general intermeddl er, and that
the truest method of fulfilling national des-
tiny is to make the United States a raodel of
national contentment and prosperity.

A GOOD LESSON FOR THE INDIANS.


In the year 1853 the Kiowa Indians in
Texas made an attack upon settlement of
white people at place in Denton county
They butchered most mercilessly men,
women, and children, leaving nothing living
in that peaceful and happy district but two
little girls, whom they spared and carried off
into captivity. Thele little waits are now
known as Helen anll Heloise Lincoln, their
real name no doubt being Fitzpatrick, which
their murdered father and mother bore. By
a good deal of ingenuity and much risk the
Indian agent, Colonel Leavenworth, obtained
the release of these poor orphan girls, and
placed them in charge of good-hearted
squaw. Twice the Indians recaptured them,
and again Colonel Leavenworth got posses
sion of them. They are now in safe keeping
within the lines of civilization. But the
point in the story is his:-Congress has just
passed an act voting these poor orphans five
thousand dollars for their maintenance the
same to be deducted from the annuities of
the Indians. This is retributive but strict
justice. 1t is collecting ransom the other
way. 1t is curious, however, that the Presi-
dent seemed to have no knowledge of the
bill, although he was all this time talking
sweet and pleasant things with Red Cloud
and Spotted Tail. The bill became law
without his signature, the allotted ten days
having expired before the Presidents name
This will be good lesson for the Indians. 1t
will teach them that we have the power of re-
prisal in our own hands. The Indian is ex-
ceedingly ayaricious, with all his pretensions
to simplicity, and there is no softer spot in
which you can touch him than in his exche-
quer. Savage and impossible of civilization
as he is, threat to cut off his supplies brings
him to submission, even though it be but a
temporary submission. In our dealings with
the red men all sentimental nonsense must
be set aside. They are rude and remorseless
savages, nothing more. They stand in our
road to progress over oar vast Western do
mains, and in this view we must treat them

SOLD TO SPAIN!

From, the n. Y. Sun.
We call the attention of the American
people to the humiliating spectacle of
their own Government at Washington sold
to Spain
The President sent message to Congress
on Monday The people have read
it, and will be at no loss to see what it
means. 1t is written wholly in the Spanish
interest. The Herald says-and, we have no
doubt, says truly-it was written by Hamil-
ton Fish. The World says it is clumsily
written, and we all know that Mr.. Fish writes
clumsily.
Now, let us ask, what is the relation of
Hamilton Fish to the Cuban question?
Why Hamilton Fish is the brother-in-law
of Sidney Webster, and Sidney Webster and
his partner received on one single occasion
seventeen thousand dollars in gold for
serving the Spanish cause! And there is
no reason to suppose that the current of
Spanish gold stopped short at seventeen
thousand dollars. n.ra.r. ...
Of course it is this gold which has done the
business. 1t is the seventeen thousand dollar
nuggets of Spanish gold which have prosti-
tuted the power of our proud young republic
at the feet of an old monarchy, so rotten and
SO tottering that it is to-day absolutely with
out monarch on its throne; its Queen in
ignominious exile, and its distracted people
unable to agree upon a successor!
When General Grant came fresh from the
Western prairies, and from our great Ameri-
can war, his heart was full of patriotism and
his sympathies were warm for the struggling
Cubans. But in the corrupt and enervating
influences of Washington, and under the de-
moralizing influences of Hamilton Fish, he
has become another man-almost no man at
all. His greatness is all gone. He succumbs,
he droops, he willis, in the air of the capital,
like newly set cabbage plant under July
sun. There is no substance, no courage, no
strength left in him.
One would think, to read General Grants
message, that the President of the United
States is actually afraid of the decayed and
effete Spanish authority. Verify, it would be
a relief to be assured that the President was
drunk when he signed this weak and cowardly
message. Nothing that Andrew Johnson ever
did was SO pnpatriotic and disgraceful.
Oh, once valiant Grant! pluck that white
feather out from your hat
This is a serious business. Our Govern
ment lies PROSTATE and terribly humiliated
Who will raise her proudly to her feet
Come Banks, come Morton, come Carpenter,
come all true Americans, to the rescue
