The Radical Congressional Conventio

The Radical Congressional Convention.
We have given elsewhere an account
OF the Hale Convention at Ellsworth, as
we saw it. The proceedings there, and
the consequent action of the Waldo dele
gates, leave the matter a good deal mix
ed, and the future somewhat uncertain
If anything is more clearly discerned than
another, it is that little short of a miracle
will save Mr.. Hale from defeat Two
of his hitherto newspaper supporters, the
Belfast Age and Ellsworth American, are
openly hostile, while the murmurs Of dis
content from one end of the district to the
other, are loud and continued We are
aware that all eleotoneering appliances
will be used by Mr.. Hale and his friends,
including money in abundance but these,
when brought to bear upon personal
grievances, lack their usual potency
With these elements of defeat, and the in
creasing detection to Greeley, it will be
strange if the Democracy do not succeed
in the District. 1t looks now as though
failure can be laid only at our own doors.
The Grant newspapers attribute, with
great satisfaction, sentence to Horace
Greeley to the effect that General Grant
never was beaten and never would be
Mr.. Greeley never uttered the idea. He
wrote a History of the Rebellion, wherein
he showed that Grant was beaten in the
first battle he ever fought--the battle Of
Belmont

PERCIE.
Mr.. Millikeu entirely agreed with the compl-
mentS TO the lady reporter present. He adj
mired talent IN either sex. and wanted all to
have a fair chance. But he had no sympathy
with the denunciafions Of Sumner and Greeley.
Men Of brains and action are not always right
But he did not TO- get that they had stood by the
principles Of the republican party when the
gentleman that Mr. Smonton had lauded had
no policy at all. Because the ~ incipies of the
| republican party are right and Grant represents

WALDO PROTESTS. FIRST GUN OF THE BATTLE
| Col. Hersey Of Belfast arose al this point, and

thirds of the Waldo delegates, who desired the
presentation of the resolution that he held and
which he proceeded to read as follows
! WHEREAS, during the decade now passed
the county of Washington has had three term,
OF representation in Congress- and the county
| OF Hancock two terms; and, whereas, Waldo
county has not had representative for the pas
sixteen years, though giving larger Republican
malorlies than any other county in the district
and, whereas, the friends of the present Repre-
sentative IN Congress originally based his can
didacy expressly on the ground of rotation from
counties, therefore,
RESOLVED, that it is expedient that the can
didate to be nominated by this convention, be
| taken from Waldo county.
| We have, said the speaker, waited long and
patiently for justice, and now ask respectful
consideration of our claims
I'm answer to many inquiries for Pcrcie's accounts
OF the Democratic State and Fifth District Conven-
tions, can only say that they have not yet been

GENTLE woRDs.

There is magic power i'll gentle words, the
potency of which few natures are SO icy as
wholly to resist. Would you have your home
a cheerful, hallowed spot, within which may
ever be found that happiness and peace which
the world dcnicth to its votaries? Let no
harsh word be uttered within it's walls. Speak
gently to the wearied husband, who, with an
anxious brow, returns from the pcrplexities of
his daily avocations and lot him speak gently
to the care-worn woman, who amid her never
ending round Of little duties, finds rest and
encouragement in the sympathy of him she
loves. Speak gently to the Maynard child u
pleasant smile and q word of kindness will
often restore good humor and payfulnoss.
Speak gently to the dependent who lightens
your daily toll kind words insure respect and
affection, while the angry rebuke provokes
impertinence and dislike; speak gently to the
aged many are the trials through which they
have passed, and now q little while and they
will be missed from their accustomed place !;
the spirit will have passed to its rest. The
remembrance of an unlSind word will then
bring with it d bitter sting speak gently to
the erling one are we not all weak and liable
to error? Temptations, of which we cannot
judge, may have surrounded him. IIarshncss
will drive him on his sinful way, gentleness
and love may win him back to virtue.

THE FALLEN.

We meet them every day possibly brush
clothes with them on the street--poor, miser-
able, degraded Once life appeared beautiful.
The bright visions of hope danced around their
pathway and gilded their future with more
than the roseate loneliness of an eastern sky.
"Pure as the beautiful snow" inexperienced,
honest, confiding, they went forth to battle
with life. But how has the conflict been
maintained9 Alas how. are the mighty
fallen! Bright visions have faded into murky
clouds. Hope has yielded its place in their
hearts to dark, relentless despair urging on to
still lower depths of vice. In the wreck of
virtue all was lost--purity, innocence, cliarac-
ter, peace of mind-evcrything that made life
sacred and valuable. Now the world is u
blank. Life is stupendous failure.
Though reformation is possible, yet never
again can they arise to the proud emnence
from which they have fallen or do away the
sad memories Of the past. The scars of sin
are burnt deeply into the soul, and will always
remain to pain and humble. The contrast
between what they were, what they are, and
what they might have been, is the fatal knowl-
euSe uflVlng thcn 10 rum. Inefe Is still
some conscience, some feeling, some self
respect remaining. A tender sympathy, a
kind word, the earnest, prayerful admonition,
may cause hope to spring up in the heart
that will produce strength of purpose an
energy of will which may result in effectual
and permanent reformation
Pity the fallen. Speak gently to those err
ing ones Possibly you may "save a soul
from death and hide a multitude of sins y
"Consider thyself, lest thou also be tempted -
Christian effort is to extend to all classes
even the most degraded.

SISTER sCRUB CURED.

DR.. Watson tells very good story of Sister
Scrub, who was given to hospitality, and the
very bad habit of running down everything
she had in the way of meat and drink, as il
she would, by this plan, induce her guests to
praise them the more Elder Blunt had ell
dured this fight of Affections several times,
and undertook TO put an end to it. quitting
up at Brother Scrubs one day, his horse
was cared for, and he was shown into the best
parlor, where everything was nice as a new
pin Mrs. Scrub was sorry her house was up
side down, and it wasn't fit for minister to
sit down in, but she was glad to see him, and
would try to make him comfortable. The
dinner came on, and Mrs. Scrub declared the
dinner was so mean and miserable she was
ashamed of it, and when she was in full blast
with her deprecations Elder Blunt jumped
up said he couldn't and wouldn't stay in a
house where everything was in such a state
he would go where he could find something fit
to eat, and decent place to eat in. In spite
of all they could do, the Elder insisted ON hav-
ing his horse and quitting the house. Sister
Scrub wept sore over her fault and being
heartily ashamed and cured, the Elder in due
time returned, and ever afterward found a
good home with Brother and Sister Scrub

DAYLIGHT FIREWORKS.

The japanese have fireworks made express
ly to be let off by daylight. The following
description of them is taken from an account
of recent festival in the Yokohom0 Herald
"The second day was occupied with exhibit
lions of the ingenious daylight fireworks of
the manufacture of which the Japanese appear
to be the sole masters As usual, these con-
sisted mostly of bombs, which, exploding high
in the air, discharged sometimes various
colored jets of smoke and sometimes closely
folded packages Of wire and paper, which un-
folded themselves into parachutes of great
bulk and symmetrical design. They were
sometimes fish, which swan leisurely through
the atmosphere to the ground; or snakes,
which writhed themselves away over the tree
tops; OF great birds, which lowered, kite-like
and motionless, for an incredibly long time
Occasionally, they took the shape of cottages,
temples, human beings, magnifed erests Of
Daimios, trees and fowers-almost anything
which lively imagination could suggest The
smoke-fgures, however, were the most anus
ing. One of the most frequently attempted
was cuttle-fsh, with a body of thick, full
ginous black, and arms of lighter hues. Oh
course the illusion was very brief, the wind
not allowing the smoke to remain undisturbed
for more than few seconds; but while il
lasted it was perfect

SUSPENSION BRIDGE--How IT STANDS THE
TEST OF TIME.-The Lockport journal says
I" 1t is now some twenty years since the great
Suspension Bridge was built over Niagara
river. The question of it's safety has recently
been agitated, and critical investigation has
accordingly been made by the Ohio engineer
and directors Of the Great Western railway.
The caps on the towers covering the cables
have been removed, and the cables found to be
as perfect in all respects as ever they were.
But most important Of all, the anchorage of
the cables was thoroughly inspected. The
masonry over one Of them was removed for
about twelve feet, or below where the wires
are attached to the anchor chain. portion
of the cable is imbedded in water lime cement.
For twenty years this has been there yet, on
removing it and rubbing the paint of the
wires, the latter were found as bright and per-
feet as when placed there the cement having
preserved the wire and anchor chains intact.
The examination was made in the presence of
competent engineers, who have expressed
themselves as above to the director of the
bridge company"

With us the value Of the apple as an article
Of food is far moderated. Besides containing
a large amount of sugar, mucilage and other
nutritive matter, apples contain vegetable
acids, aromatic qualities, etc, which act pow
erfully in the capacity of refrigerants, tonics
and antiseptics and freely used at the season
Of mellow-ripcness, they prevent debility,
indigestion, and avert, without doubt many
of the ills which flesh is heir TO" The
operatives of Cornwall, England, consider ripe
apples nearly as nourishing as bread, and far
more SO than potatoes. In the year 1901
which was year of much scarcity--apples,
instead of being converted into cider, were
sold to the poor and the laborers ascertaned
that they could stand their work " on baked
apples without meat ; whereas potato diet
required meat or substantial nutriment. The
French and Germans use apples extensively,
as do the inhabitants of all European nations
The laborers depend upon them as an article of
food, and frequently make dinner of sliced
apples and bread. There is no food cooked
in so many different ways i'll our country as
apples; nor is there any fruit whose value, as
an article of nutriment, is as great, and SO
little appreciated Water Cure Journal
