TRIUMPHANT FOR TWENTY YEARs.-Mor
than twenty years ago the MUSTANG LINMENT
made its debut in the West. Its cures of the
various external diseases Of horses and cattle
astonished the planters and farmers of the
Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, and demand
for it sprang up which necesstated its manu-
facture on an extensive scale. Soon the dis
covery was made that it was grand specific
for rheum atism, govt, neuralgia, earache, tooth
ache, and other external ailments of mankind.
Then it was tried as healing pain-killing APP
plication, in cases of outward injury, such as
cuts, bruises, burns, spasms, &C., and was
found equally serviceable. The fame of the
new remedy for some of the most painful ills
that aff1ict mankind and the lower animals.
spread rapidly. and MUSTANG LINIMENr soon
took rank in every State and Territory of the
Union as a STANDARD CURE

Remarks-There continues to be considerable in
quiry for both domestic and foreign and the market
sustains full prices manufacturers purchasing quite
freely at the current rates. -
In New York there is fair inquiry for all kinds of
foreign but principally for the finer grades Manu-
facturers have shown more disposition to buy and
place in Cape, amounting to nearly 1000 bales The
continued strong feeling in the London market caused
holders to be tribe hrmer in their views and
though prices are without quotable change, a more
satisfactory business is looked for after the new tariff
takes effect on August L.
In Philadelphia there has been no essential i'm
provenent in the general tone Of the market since
our last issue. Manufacturers are looking around
for desirable parcels at low figures but holders gem
orally think that the lowest rates Of the season have
now been reached In view of the recent advance at
the London auction SALE holders seem to have no de-
sire to press sales at current rates. It is generally
tmated that the supply Of domestic this year will fall
short Of the usual annual consumption The stock at
present is more than ample for immediate demands
larger than at this period of last year Manufactur-
ers in consequence purchase sparngly and only for
immediate necessities preferrng to hold off in antic-
ipation OF more acceptable State of the market.

PoLITICAL.-There was a meeting of the
"Liberal Republican" State Committee at the
Preble House yesterday, which lasted to a late
hour. 1t was rumored that the prime cause of
the meeting was the receipt of a letter from
Horace Greeley by the member from Kennebec
county, and it required all the sharpness of the
party to get at its contents Every county was
represented, Warren Tufts of New Sharon, be-
ing added for Franklin county. The Commit
tee was organized by the choice of Sol"
Thos. S. Lang as chairman, but no Secretary
was elected. A Central Executive Committee
of three, with Col. Lang at the head, was ap-
pointed, with headquarters at Congress Hall,
Portland. This Committee will have general
oversight of the campaign, with the remaining
members of the general committee as advisers.
The ground was looked over, the situation can
vassed and appointments made for some speak
ers. 1t is proposed to make one or more great
efforts at the central point in each county, with
thanking parties in the small towns. Senators
Trumbull and Schurz are engaged for from
three to five speeches in this State A mong
the other speakers engaged are Theodore Til
ton, Gen. Fitzpatrick, Senator Upton, Hon.
Hiram P. Crozier of New York, Judge Culver,
Senator Stewart of Maryland, and Major
James Haggerty of New York. The speakers
who are relieved by the North Carolina cleo

BOSTON, July 30-Tbe shipments of Boots and Shoes
from this market to places outside Of New England
for the past week comprise s3 cases. against 1859
for the same week last year.
The total shipments from this market since Janu-

for the same period last year.

1918 cases. against 1899 for the same week last

last year.
The condition of the market is not so favorable to
manufacturers they might reasonably desire while
the aggregate of sales is about equal to that Of last
Of caution seems to prevail among buyers. Thick
work sells very close to cost and the margin on any
description is small one to manufacturers There is
however, general belief that trade will last longer
and that those buyers who have not purchased their
usual supply will be likely to order goods when
their present stocks are distributed to the interior
trade.

| LEONARD BILLINGs.-Leonard Billings,
ESQ.,, known not only in Portland but through
the State by his long connection with the Port
land Steam Packet Co., died at his residence on
Franklin street, at O'Clock yesterday morning
| after an illness of about ten weeks. His ace
was 10 years and 20 days. Mr.. Billings was
native of Sharon, Mass, but while he was yet
child his parents removed to Pennington, Me-,
from whence he came to Portland at the age of
eighteen. He was one of the organizers of the
Portland Steam Packet Co., and to his energy
and business tact much of the prosperity of
the corporation is due. He was for several
years general agent of the Cumberland Steam
Navigation Co., organized about 1888, and
when that corporation gave place to the pres
ent one, he occupied the same position on the
new line, so that his connection with the steam
boat interests of Portland dates back nearly
forty years. Mr. Billings was man of I'M
swerving integrity, and his word was as good
as his bond. He was firm believer in the
growth and importance of Portland and lent his
aid to every enterprise calculated to advance
her prosperity. In his will he directed that a
certain portion of his property should he in
vested in city bonds. He was also a man of
great benevolence, and gave literally and judi
cously to philanthropic agencies and in private
charities A member of the First Universalist
church he illustrated his profession by his daily
walk and conversation, and died the death of a
Christian. --.-.
Mr. Billings leaves q widow who is in deli
cate health, and two sons, the elder of whom
will succeed his father as agent of the steam
boat company. The funeral will take place
3 o'clock. m

CAMP MEETING AT FRYEBURG.-We learn
that the preparations for the Camp-meeting,
which commences at Fryeburg August 18th,
are rapidly progressing Three new cottages
of modern style are being built, the addition
to the boarding house is in an advanced state,
and the fence around the grove is nearly COM
pleted. This fence is not intended to keep any
one out, but to prevent the trees from being in
jured, and the meeting disturbed by cattle run
ming at large.
The new stable will also be finished in sea-
son for the meeting A very beautiful stand
for the preachers has been built and seats with
backs) sufficient to accommodate two thousand
people. The meeting'was appointed rather too
early for tho convenience of the farmers in
that section, but they are making every e1er-
ton to finish their haying, and it is expected
that there will be very large attendance. We
also learn that the Boarding House Committee
have decided to charge but five dollars ($5 COY
for board during the week.

A SAFE INvEsTMENT.-We call attention to
the advertisement of the Arkansas State Loan
issued to aid in the construction of the Arkan-
sas Central Railway, line of 16O miles in
length, and running from Helena to Little
Rock, with a branch line to Pine Bluff. These
bonds are regular State issue, and as such as
good as the faith and credit of State which
promptly pays its interest can make them.
They are also endorsed by the Railway Com
pany, which pledges itself to guarantee the
prompt payment of the principal and interest
as the same shall become due. They are offer
ed at the low price of 20 cents on the dollar,
thus ensuring an annual income of over ten
per cent, the interest being payable semi-an-
nually at the Office of the Union Trust Compa-
ny of New York. We recommend investors to
examine into their merits. VIM. E. Wood,
Banker, of Portland will furnish maps and
pamphlets giving information concerning their
character.
