Postmaster Jones, of New York, tells good
campaign story of Horace Greeley. Some time
ago one Norton, cashier of the post office,
turned out defaulter, and the United States
Government came down on his securities,
among whom was Horace Greeley responsible
to the extent of about $4,000 Greeley was
very restless under this obligation, and he is SO
much in fear of debt that he actually wanted
to give his check for the whole sum and get it
off his mind. Finally meeting of the in
dorsers was held, and Mr.. Greeley put on his
spectacles, took up his bond, and dolefully read
over the conditions. "They say write an in
formally bad hand,' said Greeley, 'but they
can read it plainly enough when it gets on one
of these things"
The Baltimore american consoles the Demo-
Gratis of that city by the following How can
you, as Democrat, vote for Greeley?" was
asked of lifelong Democrat and an ex-Con-
federate officer "Oh, easy enough" was the
reply. but don't you know he is one of the
veteran champions of abolition, father in the
Republican family and that he, as a writer has
hit the Democracy harder ticks and blows that
they have felt more than any other man in the
country?" ooh, yes, but he has repented of
that consider him Democrat now, and be-
lieve he will carry out the views of the Demo-

One Hundred Dollars More of Democrat
ic Money for the Maine General Hos


The proposition made by the argus to
wager one hundred dollars that Greeley will
be elected, the one hundred dollars won to be
for the benefit of the Maine General Hospital
is accepted by ''friend at our elbow'' and
the business can beScompleted. at the PRESS
counting room this morning at II o'clock. If
the argus ''friend" wishes to double the
amount he can be accommodated at the same
time.
We don't much fancy making our office
general wager brokerage agency, but mas
much as we are despoiling the Philistines for
the benefit of so deserving charity, we con-
sent to do it once more. Apropos of betting,
which seems to be the Orthodox Democratic
way of expressing conviction, we call the
attention of the argus to the fact that Mr..
Duncan's offer, made at Baltimore in the very
face OF the convention, to bet five thousand
dollars that Greeley would be defeated, is still
omen.

sEAsoNAnLE Foop.-No kind of food Is SO
wholesome at this season of the year as fruits
Not only are they pleasant, but they are abso-
lutely necessary to supply certain wants and
wastes OF the system, and should therefore be
eaten freely at proper times by all classes. But
it must be remembered that fruit must be ripe
when eaten While ripe fruit is healthy and
nutritious, unripe fruit is the very worst thing
that can be used for food A single green an.

The Boston advertiser is always inteligently
awake to the interests of Boston and lets M
opportunity pass to advocate measures that will
tend to increase it's importance as CONNER
cial city. In its issue of yesterday it recon-
mends the opening of a double track railway
from that city to the st. Lawrence to secure the
advantages of the new system of railroads to
the st. Lawrence for the purpose of diverting
grain freights from other channels. The recent
action Of Portland in voting to put the Ogdens-
burg road through may have had something to
do with awaking the advertiser to urge the
present movement. The reasoning of the fol-
lowing paragraph applies as forcibly to the fu-
ture of Maine as of Massachusetts, and we NAV
congratulate ourselves that our people have
been even quicker to see its significance than
their Boston cousins:
The future welfare of Massachusetts depends
upon obtaining cheap bread. The people of
this State must have low rates of transporta-
ton to the West, or they will be classed as
decaying community. 1t is the destiny of this
Commonwealth to live by manufacturing and
commerce. The opening of doube-track rail-
way to the st. Lawrence will give a great i'm
petus to both pursuits. Cheap bread Quick
time and low rates of transportation will once
more whiten our harbor with sails and more
than ever make the State a hive of profitable
industry

GREELEY's OPINION OF HIS PARTY.-A
little more than year ago Horace Greeley
thus wrote of the Democratic party. Now
he asks the men composing it to give him
their votes:
sit is rebel at the core to-day, hardly able
to reconcile the defeats of Lee, johnson,
Bragg, Hood and Price, and the consequent
downfall of its beloved Confederacy, with its
traditional faith in Divine Providence. 1t
would hail the election of Democratic Pres
ident in 1872 as a virtual reversal of the Ap-
pomattox surrender. 1t would come into
power with the hate, the chagrin, the wrath,
the modification of ten bitter years to impei
and guide its steps. 1t would devote itself to
taking off or reducing tax after tax until the
Treasury was deprived of the means of pay
ing interest on the national debt, and would
hail the tidings of national bankruptcy with
unalloyed gladness and unconcealed exulta-
ton. Whatever chastisementm be deserv-
ed tor our national sins, we must hope that
this disgrace and humiliation will be spared

THE Washington correspondent of the New
York Times says the Republicans of Indiana
have thoroughly organized for campaign,
well knowing that hard work will win the
victory. Hard work is to be the Republican
policy everywhere. Says the correspondent:
5s'The men of coolest Judgment here, among
whom are several members of the Adminis-
tration, view the general situation somewhat
as the Indiana Representatives view the stu
alton of that State. They are confident of
victory, but expect that it will be achieved
only by hard work. What they look to es-
pecially for effe etive aid is local organization,
initiated first in the State Committees and
running down through to townships and
school districts. They look to see this done
with unusual energy in the States of New
York and Pennsylvania. They do not mean
to be deceived or allow anybody 10 be deceiv-
ed by false estimates of Republican strength
any more than they mean to be bluffed by the
extravagant game of brag which the Gree
leyites are now playing. They expect to see
hard work done, and they know that only
will secure victory over desperate and I'M
scrupulous enemy"

The Editorial Excursion.
BAR HARBoR, Mount Desert,
.Julv 10Th 1879


The editorial party arrived here to-day on
their annual excursion, by the steamer Lew
iston. The trip to this place has been an un-
usually pleasant one. The steamer was
crowded, but there were very few obnoxious
persons, and not even solitary, bowling ba-
bv disturbed the peace of the party. A num-
Der were obliged to make themselves comfort
able without state rooms, but every one was
Jolly and good natured, and all have enjoyed
the excursion thus far. Though newspaper
men are not proverbiaHy modest, noticed
remarkably retiring disposition soon after
leavingtP Portland in most members of the
party, and in short time they were invisi-
BILE to their fellow passengers. The sleepless
viglant editors, who rose with the sun, in
formed us that the steamer narrowly escap-
ed striking on small island this morning.
A heavy fog has prevented us from obtaining
any view of the fine scenery but we have
faith to believe that it exists. The change,
from the severe heat of the city to the cool,
refreshing air of the ocean, is sufficiently
pleasing to reconcile one to the thickest fogs
Many of us would be glad to remain here all
summer.
Very different opinions are expressed re-
garding this place. Some are charmed with
the scenery, the cool air and the general quiet
aspect of the place. Others, more especially
cannot think of remaining more than one day.
For one, am satisfied to reach spot where
mercury does not boil. 1t is an act of chari-
ty to say little about the hotels. The Aga
mont, where several of us are sojouming, is
the best, if one can judge from the tone of
conversation regarding the others. Mr.. Rob-
erts, the proprietor informs me that when he
opened the hotel in 1S55very few people were
here. Now there are accommoda-
lions for thousand strangers. Last
year, at the hight of the season there
were over eight hundred guests in this place,
alone. l attempted TO gain some knowledge
of the mental and moral characteristics of the
natives this afternoon. The first inhabit-
ant whom l interviewed asked me if I belong
ed to the Editorial corpse. That rather stun
ned me, and postponed further investiga-
tons.
This evening the excursionists assembled
in the parlors of the Agamont, and passed the
time pleasantly with social converse, with
dancing and music. The party numbers
about fifty, and more are expected tomorrow.
The number of visitors is quite large. Speak
er Blaine, Senator Chandler of Michigan.
Hon. Eugene Hale and other distinguished
persons are here. Tomorrow we commence
to do the Island. AsKELoN,
