The officers of the Maine State Educational
the annual meeting of that educational body
in this city, that sit has been found impossible
to obtain gratuitous entertainment for ladies'.
The Maine Journal of Education in notice of
the meeting, says, ''We are sorry that free en-
tertainment could not be provided for the la
dies" 1t may be that the friends of education
abroad will draw the inference from these I'M
qualified statements that the people of Augusta
are inhospitable and for the purpose ofcorrect
ing any such impression, we will state that not
the slightest effort has been made to as
certain if 'free entertainment could be pro-
vided for the ladies'" A consultation was in
deed held with one of our citizens on the sub
ject, who expressed the opinion that our peo-
pie had already been surfeited with conven-
tons and other meetings, and that it would be
useless to again ask them to open their doors.
Thus the matter was left, and out came the
ungracious announcement of an impoSstb,lny
to obtain free entertainment. This was
guing from wrong standpoint. 1t has been
found by practical experience that the more
community is called upon to contribute to
benevolent object, the more liberal they be-
come. Our people have got into the way of
giving they have just become accustomed to
opening their doors to strangers; entertain
ment for the last large convention was more
readily secured than for any previous one;
and we have no doubt that if an effort should
be made, the lady teachers of Maine, and all
those who intend to become teachers, would
be furnished with good entertainment, free of
expense, during the days of the meetings of
both the county Institute and the State Asso-
citation.

Madrid.

Madrid, Nov. ). To-day Gen. Prim made
long speech on the subject OF a new candi-
dature for the throne. He lamented the ter
rible consequence of the Hohenzollern can
didacy, but eXonerated Spain from all blame
in the matter. He said the time lad arrived
for the withdrawal of the provisional govern
ment. He presented the name of the Duke
Of Aosta and supported him in a few remarks,
concluding by urging the majority to vote
tor him.
Jenor Costollcr leader of the republicans,
spoke against the candidature, and immedi-
atey moved a vote OF cenSure, because the
candidate had been chosen without knowledge
of the Cortes but after consultation with the
army he censured the Italian government for
taking advantage OF French troubles, in order
to urge the candidature of the Duke OF
Aosta. He believed Aosta remembering the
history OF Maximillian) would still decline
the crown Of Spain Prim replied that there
was no similarity in the cases of Mexico
and Spain. Costellar said the only difference
was that the Mexican republic existed de
jure, and the Spanish exists detacto.

Simple Milk Cooler.

HAVING seen in different articles on
dairying the use of ice advocated, !
believe l have a simple and inexpensive
device much better adapted, and less
troublesome, and a better equalizer OF
temperature for small families that have
well and cellar near each other
1t is nothing more nor less than an iron
or lead pipe attached to the vent in upper
stock cfpump, and emptying into the milk
trough in the cellar, and when of sufficient
depth in the trough to flow thence into the
cellar drain.
Now, as most cellars in Illinois must
necessarily have drain, there can be no
inconvenience whatever in the use of such
device.
We have been using this kind of cooler
for three years, and find it is all that is de
sired, keeping the milk at near the same
temperature as the water in the well al
ways cool milk, and good, solid butter al
ways getting fresh supply of water to it
when the pump is worked the least.
What little experience we have had with
ice is that it is irregular unless attended
very closely, being both troublesome and
expensive; while in the other there is
neither, after once put in.
Any moderately ingenious farmer can
arrange when building, and put in such a
device without material expense, and con-
fer blessing on Hannah and the
children, that they will rise up and call
him blessed every time they sip their cold
milk and eat the excellent butter.
Now, brother farmers, don't neglect the
small but important matter in the loca-
ton of your house, well and cellar, that
yeu may all have your own spring right
where you want it; and, mind my word,
you will never regret it.-Cor. Prairie

Joke on Barnum.

Quietly passed from earth last week, at
his residence in this city, one Pat MGllin.
Though possessed of many virtues, Mullin
was chiefly dear to fame as the man whom
Barnum paid Tor his turn" at Tom Zig
ginson's barber shop under the Park
Hotel. The story is well known, but it
should be repeated once more in honor of
the dead and in justice to the living. One
day, few years ago, Barnum rushed into
iIigginson's shop for a shave and found
Pat Mullin, the deceased, just taking his
seat for the same operation. Barnum at
once proposed to Pat to exchange turns,
offering to pay Pats Bill Pat, with the
quick wit of an Irishman, assented. Bar
mum got his shave, told Higginson to
charge Pats bill to him, and went on his
way rejoicing. When Pats turn came he
deliberately proceeded to take bath, a
shave and " shampoo" and wound up
by having his hair curled and his whiskers
dyed. When all was done he politely told
Higginson to "Charge it to the boss"
and departed. Barnum afterward paid
the bill, and thought the joke was worth
the money.-Neao York Globe

The formal proclamation of the fact
that the Fifteenth Amendment has been

of State in answer to a resolution of the
Senate of the Sd instant asking to be in
formed what States have ratified the Fiji
teenth Amendment to the Constitution of
the United States, SO far as official notice
thereof has been transmitted to the De
partment of State, and that information
from time to time may be communicated
to that body as soon as practicable Of such
ratification hereafter by any State"
The communication from Secretary
Fish, to which reference is here made,
gives the following States as having rati-
fed the amendment:

Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois,
Indiana, New York, New Hampshire,

Of New York to withdraw its ratification.
