A good many ignorant people think brooms
are natural product, cultivated with their
handles on, and are peddled round in punches
the same as the gardeners sell radishes and such
like. But that amt so. 1 Investigated the
matter myself yesterday. 1t cost me twenty
minutes time and gave the man who makes
'em good deal of valuable information about
others folks affairs. They make brooms in
Portland, down on Middle street. and that's
where made the investigations referred to- If
you should turn hungry horse into the place
where they kept the broom stuff he wouldn't
eat it. You couldn't persuade him that twas
corn. 1t looks as if Scarboro' marsh had been
Graded in dry time, shocked up and bound
with iron hoops and sent to market. You
needn't be afraid of catching the small pox
from broom. If one of you were put into a
birthstone closet as long as that stuff is you
would come out looking paler than the
handle of first-class article. There's about
twenty men making these brooms at the shop
went into, and when one of them is done-I
mean the brooms-it don't look like the article
you buy: it has to be damned into shape
and sewed up like good many people who be-
gin life in sort of uncertain way; and when
the soft end of it is trimmed off with a hay
cutter it is ready to count one for the mans
days work.
The broom handles saw there looked very
innocent. They were mostly made of spruce.
Sometimes they make EN- of birch, when birch
is plenty; but in most places the crop don't
grow big enough, it gets absorbed by the public
schools; and then they make 'em of ''popple
wood because that amt good for anything but
broom-handles and gunpowder. Broom-hand-
les are good for disciplinary purposes, when
they're got through being brooms. They are
good to throw at cats and dogs and drive cows
out of the yard, and-but don't feel like pur-
suing the subject further. They are turned
out-a good many times. First they are turned
out at the mill down on the Kennebec, then
they are turned out bran new brooms, and then
they get turned out into the back porch, and
then don't know what becomes of them. I've |
had good many brooms in my house, and have |
always been puzzled to know what became of |
the handles. Anyway, the life of broom is an |
interesting study for man if he takes to it |
properly-as did yesterday; and the sanitary |
effect is excellent Good by. Let's NJ.

AUGUSTA.
RAILROAD HEARING.
Especial by Internationa Line.l


AUGUSTA, Jan. 23.-The hearing on the petit
ton of the P. S. & P. r. r. Co. for a charter to
build a road from Kittery to Kennebunkport
and Biddeford was begun this afternoon. MIR.
Hobbs of Berwick, Mr.. Hubbard of North
Berwick and Mr.. Bradbury of Augusta appear
ed as counsel for the petitioners; Mr.. Dane of
Kennebunk for the remonstrants.
Mr.. Hobbs said this proposed change was not
new thing, that it was demanded to develope
the resources of many towns along the line and
shorten it from Kittery to Portland. Testi-
mony was presented to prove these statements.
Mr.. Dane in presenting the defense, said he
did not wish to oppose the interests of those
parties OF towns, but to protect the people at
the different places along the present line. He
should not oppose the building of the proposed
road but wished to prevent the discontinuance
of the present He presented witnesses show
ing that the building of the road On the propos-
ed line would damage the business and depre-
ciate the property on the present line.
At the meeting this evening, the Committee
voted to report bill granting the charter asked
by the P. S. & P. R. r. Co. with proviso that
the Company shall not discontinue the present
road.
A very heavy lobby is present from York
county.
THE BOSTON AND MAINE DEPOT.
The Committee also considered the petition
of the Boston & Maine Railroad Company for
extension of time to locate depot in Portland.
MIR. Yeaton of Berwick appeared for the petit
TONERS and said the Company had power to To-
cate depot grounds and had already made
purchase, and if obliged to can locate, but at
great Inconvenience and extra expense. The
Company merely asked six months for the ex-
tension of its line and submitted a bill.
Mr.. Bradbury of Augusta opposed the prayer
of the petitioners, ON the ground that it gave
the Boston & Maine chance to infringe upon
the rights of the Maine Central Company,
which desired that the former be restricted and
he presented an amendment providing that the
Boston & Maine should not interfere with the
depots of the other Railroad Companies for
ordinary depot purposes. The Committee re-
iected the amendment
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
The Board of Education continued its session
to-day. Most of last evening and the forenoon
session was occupied in reporting the full work
of the Supervisors during the past year.
Mr.. Savary read paper on the uniformity of
text books.
DR.. True read short article upon some of
the principles upon which true teaching should
be based. A discussion upon the former topic
occupied the afternoon.
A public lecture was delivered before the
Board in the Representative Hall in the even
lug, by Hon. d. X. Chase, Senator from Wash
ington county, in which he gave his new theory
of tidal causes

Whole on the legislative and executive appro-
priation bill, Mr. Wheeler of New York in the
chair.
Mr.. Garfield of Ohio, spoke at some length in
explanation of the bill, which appropriates 81
$50, 5000 less than the same bill last year, and
S30O0, 700 less than the estimates
Mr.. Beck of KY, remarked that he had
served ON the Appropriation Committee two
years and 1t was the stingiest committee he
ever knew. 1t had to come back with n def
cheney bill and he predicted that the present
committee would have to do the same after the
Presidential election. Uaughter.) The dis
cussion was continued by Mr.. Wood, who at
tackled the administration for it's extraygant
and enormous expenditures
Mr.. Halls of Maine, replied by comparison
with the Buchanan administration, which he
said increased the debt S34 100000 in the time
of profound peace. AS to the statement quoted
by Mr.. Wood, from the civil service report, no
one would claim that it was borne cut by facts
and figures On the contrary the cost of col
lection was not more than five or six per cent.
of the aggregate revenues.
Mr.. Maynard of Tenn, suggested that the
expenses of collecting the revenue was only four
per cent. g.
Mr.. Hale of Maine, explained that what the
CIVIL service commissioners meant to convey in
the remark quoted was not that one-fourth of
revenues was stolen; but owing to the system
one-fourth of what ought to be received by the
government was lost, and that was owing to
the spoils-a system handed down from Demo-
cratic days. All these appeals for economy
amounted to nothing less than reputation of
the public debt and the stoppage of pensions.
Mr.. Randall of Pa, said there had been taken
from the people in the last year, $500, 900
and he wanted to know what had become of
the money.
Mr.. Kelley said the real amount was $685.
100000
MIR. Wood of New York, remarked that the
cost of collecting customs ten years ago under
the Democratic party was $4,000, 600. That there
was no such outrageous expositions of wrong
and fraud and plundering as was now being
brought to light by the investigation in New
York. t&'A4 az
Mr. Kellogg of CT, remarked that at the
time the amount of customs duties collected
was less than $100,0000 900 and it cost $4,000, 600
to collect; whereas the amounted collected last
year was $207, 000,0 600. kE tF
Mr. Wood remarked that it should cost very
little more to collect $780, 600 900 than to collect
$l0O,0OO,O00 because the machinery of collec-
ton was all the seme The general debate was
then closed and the clerk proceeded to read the
bill by classes for amendment and after pro-
crossing through thirteen pages of the bill,
which contains 56, the committee rose. Senate
amendments to bill by authorizing the impor-
tation of machinery were non-concurred in and
a committee of conference ordered
