THE SWEDISH COLONY

The Land Agent, Mr.. Burlegh, publishes
the following article which we find IN the
Bangor Wing, in reply to suggestions IN some
quarters that the State is doing more for the
Swedes in Aroostook than for its own citi-
zens.
In order to establish first colony OF TWEEN
ty-tiye families, it was deemed necessary to
render them some assistance, and to hold out
some extra inducements to them, by telling
few trees and furnishing shelter for them
until they can have time sufficient to provide
for themselves. This assistance has, think
been very judiciously rendered under the d.
rection of the Governor and Counch. inns
assistance is to be furnished for the frst
colony of twenty-five families only. All
who join the colony hereafter VIII be
required to purchase their lands upon
the same terms and conditions as are
prescribed in Chapter of the Revised
Statutes. But in reality, these inducements
offered by the State, to this little colony,
which is intended to serve merely as nucleus
for peopling portion of the wild lands OF the
State amount to but little more than those
offered under existing laws, to citizens OF this
country for this first colony must reside up
on and improve their lots of only one hum
dred acres each, for the term OF five years be-
fore they are entltle0 10 Il ueeu VI title Vi the
lot assigned to them, and they must build their
own roads; while all other persons can have
a lot not exceeding two hundred acres each,
and receive a valid title within four years by
performing settling duties and paying as 1t
is called, fifty cents per acre, in building roads
for their own benefit.
In answer to the inquiry ''why the citizens
of Maine are not allowed the same privileges
as are allowed the Swedes," would say that
they are allowed precisely the same privileges,
with the exception of the twenty-five families
to which have alluded. They could if they
would do so, purchase the land, as l have al
ready stated, at the nominal price OF nifty
cents per acre, payable in making roads in the
township in which the land is situated. The
settler is not required to make any cash pay
ment whatever But still, strange as it may
seem, these very liberal terms have not IN
duced our people to remain in the State and
the last census shows decrease in population,
in nearly every part of the State, except in
some of the manufacturing towns
In view of these facts, it seems to me that
the present movement to induce an Intelligent
and industrious people like the Swedes, to inn
migrate to, and settle on the wild lands in the
extreme Northerly portions of the State, Is
wise and judicious and one that will result IN
much benefit to the State.

WAR SPLINTERS.

The war enthusiasm among the German op.
| cratic singers is intense. Lucca, whose nus
band has been reported wounded and dead,
passes her spare time in picking lint; Me
mann, the celebrated tenor, has Joined the
Knights of st. John; while Beck, at the head
of party of musical confreres. boarded the
refreshment trains going to the front, and
went in person to dispense good cheer among
the soldiers.
A Wurtemburg officer writes to the DARN
how the Frencl, mode of fighting has altered
in this war. They employ cavalry, especial
ly cuirassiers, for the attack, while the lnfan-
try generally awaits the attack in strong posi-
tions behind earthworks and rifle pits. This
is the cause of the enormous Prussian losses,
and of an order by the King that strong po-
sitions should never be assaulted in front.
In the battle of Sedan the artillery did the
most service The Prussan losses are not
very considerable, but the French much more
so. Mitrailleuses were not so largely en-
ployed as at Woerth. Their effect at one
thousand or twelve hundred yards is often
really fearful. 1t is remarkable that so many
mounted officers fall.
A correspondent says :-"Prominent among
others Count Bismarck is to be seen riding
He is great rider. Ihave several times come
across him mounted on fine charger, and
recognizable afar by his right royal appear
hylx
from the peasant to the King, the picture of
ROYALTY in himself. Yonder he comes, walk
ing his horse through the shady alleys of the
garden. There is general clearance Of the
way present arms" is the cry that goes.
On this occasion he is dressed in military
| suit, in it fine specimen of manhood, al
| though one is hardly reconciled to the great
diplomat appearing in the toggery OF war.
His weapon is the pen, and not the sword.
There is every reason to believe that the three
guiding minds of the Germans are Bismarck.
| Motke aud the King"
The passion with which the French soldier
respects his flag is wildly revealed in story
of Sedan. At the moment of equalization,
captain, a lieutenant Of Zouaves, and brave
sergeant, resolved that the flag which had
been left in their keeping should not fall into
the hands of the Prussians. So they took the
emblem of France to pieces, one conceallng
the banner under his uniform, the other put
ting the balls into his pocket, and the third
keeping the eagle. After the capitulaton, it
was agreed that all the relics should be con-
fided to the care of the sergeant, who, being
an Alsacian, could speak German The
brave sergeant then managed to escape from
his captors, to don the guise of peasant, and
to obtain basket, in which he placed the me-
MORALS of French glory. He then covered
the precious relics with a mass of tobacco,
which he had got from the willing peasants,
and, thus guarded against detection, he man
aged to pass through all the German lines,
and to reach Paris.

Domestic NemS.

The editor of the Gardiner Home Journal
attended the West Gardiner Town Show and
Fair, which took place last Tuesday, and
SAYS that he was very agreeably surprised.
Every nook and corner of the Town House,
was improved to display the rich lot of vese-
tables, fruits and household manufactures on
exhibition. The show Of apples he never saw
excelled, if equalled There were Isl speci-
mems; and there was no one man who showed
over II varieties. Excellence rather than
quantity seemed to be the rule with the eX-
hibitors J. Emerson was awarded the
highest praise for II varieties, and Frank
Wadsworth with 10 varieties came next. ID.
Fuller had varieties of fine fruit and Mrs.
Currier Is. There were many other exhibi-
tors, all with excellent specimens. Two gent
lemen, whose names he did not learn, exhl-
ted ripe chestnuts; and Mrs. Currier had
ripe ounces, and one had some very nice
peaches. The butter, cheese, preserves &c.
and the numberless specimens of ladies
handicraft, showed that the farmers wives
and daughters, though they may have more
accomplishments than their grandmothers, by
no means neglect the arts and habits that fit
them for heads of households. The West
Gardiner folks claim that in the question OF
stock-especially oxen-they beat the Itch
field folks.

The Bath Daily Times says Mr.. Samuel
Jordan, residing at New Meadows near the
head of Great Island, discovered, Tuesday
morning, on his marsh, the body of man,
which had been washed ashore at that place.
1t had the appearance of having been in the
water about two weeks or less and of having
been person of about forty years of age.
The body was fully dressed excepting the
feet which were naked. The face was badly
bruised, and foul play was suspected. No
one has been missed from that locality and it
is said that the location of the place where
the body was discovered is such as to preclude
the possibility of its having drifted in from
the ocean. The proper authorities of Bruins
wick were notified and the body handed over
to them for Identification.
