PORTLAND, Feb. 10, 1871.
To the Editor Of the Press.
The following letter will probably be of in
terest to many of your readers, owners of
water power, etc. Letters Of similar purport
are coming to my hand frequently, and if the
necessary means were furnished by the Legis-
lature, great work could be done. Neither
1 nor any other man can afford to give time
and labor to this service without requital.
The parties who are negotiating for powers
here, complain of the extortionate prices
named by proprietors. Manufacturers will
not come sway down to Maine" unless they
can lget good bargains. In other States they
get good bargains; they get exemption from
taxation, they get municipal aid, or its equiv
alent. Will parties having power as noted
below, in towns where cooperation will be
extended, and exemption from taxation
granted, please address the Warren Thread
Company. WALTER WELLS.

HOW TO SEE DOWN A WE'LL,

1t is not generally known how easy d
matter it is to explore the bottom of n
well, cistern, or pond of water, by the
use of common mirror. When the sun
is shining brightly, hold mirror so that
the reflected rays of light will fall into
the water. A bright spot will be seen at
the bottom, SO light as to show the
smallest object plainly
BY this means we have examined the
bottoms of wells fifty feet deep, wheti
half-full or more of water The smallest
straw or other object can be perfectly
seen from the surface. In the same way
one can examine the bottoms of the
ponds and rivers, if the waters be some-
what agitated by winds or rapid ino.
tion.
If we'll or cistern be under cover, or
shaded by building SO that the sun
light will not fall near the opening, it is
only necessary to employ two mirrors,
using one to reflect the light to the OPEN
ing, and another to reflect it down into
tho water.
Light may be thrown fifty or hum
dred yards to the precise spot desirable,
and then downward. We have used the
mirror with success, to reflect the light
around the house to a shaded well, and
also to carry it from south window
through two rooms, and then into cis-
tern under the north side of the house,
Half-a dozen reflections of light may be
made, though each mirror diminishes the
brilliancy of the light.
Let any one not familiar with the
method try the experiment. 1t will per-
haps reveal mass of sediment at tho
bottom of the well that has been little
thought of, but which may have been n
frightful source of disease by its decay
in the water.

FertiiiAers-DisprOpOrtionate Prices

we find the following in the United
states Agricultural Report for 1869:
professor s. w. Johnson, in a paper
dated April 10, 1860, reports to the Com
necticut Board of Agriculture on sanA
pies of different commercial fertilizers,
which samples were obtained in thas
state, and were mostly taken from the
bags and barrels in the stores of dealers,
The object of these analyses was to de-
termine the actual commercial vaIue of
the fertilizer in question, (some of which
nave attained widespread reputation,) J
paslhg the estimate ON the cost of the ac-
i've and valuable ingredients as ubtsin-
ed from the cheapest standard SOURCE
Ihe current selling prices of the fertils,
ers are given for the purpose of COMPARE
son. OF these sixteen samples, one, Il
homemade superphosphate has no sell
ing price affixed. Another fertilizer
shows currency value of S6l .52 per ton,
against a selling price of $50 per ton. Iii
contrast to this q poudrette exhibited a
currency value of only $3.O3 per ton,
against selling price of S2S per ton; and
another of similar brand a value of only
S3.l6 per ton, against a selling price of
S2.5e per barrel. Ths estimated value
and the selling prices per ton of the va

BY Nebo's lonely mountain,
On this side Jordan's wave,
In a vale in the land of Moab,
There lies a lonely grave.
And no man dug that sepulchre,
And no man saw it e'er;
For the angels of God upturned the sod
And left the dead man there.
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth;
But no man heard the trampling
Or saw the train go forth.
Noiselessly as the daylight
Comes when the night is done,
And the crimson streak on oceans cheek
Grows into the great SUM-
Noiselessly as the spring-time
Her crown of verdure weaves.
And all the trees on all the hills,
open their thousand leaves,--
So, without sound of music
Or voice of them that wept,
Silently down from the mountain crown
The great procession swept.
Perchance the bald old eagle
ON gray Bethpeor's height,
out of his rocky eyry
Looked on the wondrous sight.
Perchance the lion stalking
Still shuns the hallowed spot,
For beast and bird have seen and heard
That which man knoweth not.
But when the warrior dieth,
His comrades in the war
With arms reversed and muflled drum
Follow the funeral car.
They show the banners taken,
They tell his battles won,
And after him lead his masterleSs steed,
While Seals the minute gun.
Amid the noblest of the land
Men lay the sage TO rest,
And give the bard an honored place
With costly marble dressed.
In the great minister transept,
Where lights like glories fall,
And the choir sings and the organ rings,
Along the cmblazoned wall.
This was the braycst warrior
That ever buclSled sword;
This the most gifted poet
That ever oreathed n word;
And never earth's philosopher
Traced with his golden pen,
On the deathiess pago, truths half so sage
AS he wrote down for men.
LA I,aJ la ,,of biUh hOnOr9
The hillside for his pail;
To lie in state while angels wait
With stars for tapers tail;
And the dark rock pines, like tossing
plumes,
Over his bier to wave;
And Gods own hand, in that lonely land
To lay him in the grave;
In that deep grave without name;
Whence his uncoflined clay
Shall break again-most wondrous
thought,
Before the Judgment day,
And stand with glory wrapped around,
On the hills lie never trod,
And sneak of the strife that won our life, |
With the incarnate Son of God.
oh, lonely tomb in Moab's land,
Oh, dark Bethpeor's hill,
Sneak to these curious hearts OF ours,
And teach them to be still.
God hath His mysteries of grace
Ways that we cannot tell;
He hides them deep, like the secret sleep
Ofhiln He loved so we'll.
