estate add heresy. Here are some good ex-
tracts from Mr.. Tenney's confessions which
we commend to the attention of all in like
manner offending:
From the day of our visit to the Aroostook,
in October 1858, to the present, we have al
ways advocated the building of railroad to
that region, even if State aid should be neces-
sary to its construction. But we give il ND
now and forever, and are dead set against all
this State jobbing. We believe now in the
Aroostook railroad as firmly as ever, and only
back out in consequence of the numerous ap-
plications for charters, many of which look to
State aid. Once open the door for even the
Aroostook, and Heaven only knows what and
how many may enter thereat.
Maine cannot retrieve herself by lending
her aid to any well devised scheme of wildcat
railroading Good roads ,ciU be built with
private capital Improbable or uncalled-for
lines should not be constructed even with
STATE and. Establish the policy of State aid
and scratch-my-back and-P ll-scratch-your shin
will become the pleasant pastime Of the lobby
lists and OF their servants the members of the
Legislature, the direct route to all manner
of fraud and bargaining. The history ofsoutb.
ern and western States which have loaned their
credit-sunk as these States are under enor-
nous debts--is full of warning to us.
The Belfast Progressive Age in an article
on ''the European & North American land
grab says that 'the claim set up is auda-
cious, and can but excite the surprise and in
dgnation of the people of the State" IL adds
that ''the claim, even if there were technical
grounds upon which it might be supported, is
most uncomfortable one" The Age is
very severe on Mr.. l. r. Clark for his action
in the premises:
when the company came to take their
deed, they procured from the Land Office n
schedule of the lands, which they presented
to the Governor and Council, as embracing
the lands which had been granted. This
schedule was obtained In the absence of tbe
Land Agent, and was made out by Mr..
Clark OF Bangor, former Land Agent. who
was attending to the business of the Office In
the Land Agents absence. In n wns in
cluded not only the lands granted. but those.
also, tchich had been reserved, Whether Mis-
was done through nadvertence or by
design has not yet been made to an
pear, but there are suspicious that Il was
done by design. II does not seem nos
sible that Mr., Clark, who had been Land
Agent several years, and during the time

The insolence of Gortschakoff in the mat
ter of Catacazy, whose notorious mendacity and
malignity were endured by our government
longer than was consistent with its own self
respect, is just what might be expected. 1t
is about time for the people of the United
States to give up their penchant for aristocrat-
ic associates and cease to plume them
selves on "the friendship of Russia"
and other despotic governments, which
at heart despise their toadyish pro-
clivities and snub them whenever an
opportunity occurs. 1t would better become
the citizens Of this Republic to cherish the
friendship of the people of European coun-
tries, and especially those with democratic
tendencies. Half the sum lavished on the
Prince of Wales and the Grand Duke would
make up very respectable fund for the re-
lief of men who are struggling for the liberty
denied them by Alexander and other poten-
tates of the old world.

upon the carriers of concealed weapons. In his
message to the Legislature he says ''the great
number of belted knights of spurious courage
who are daily seen in public places, ready on
slight provocations, under the inspiration of
evil spirits, to display implements of war, is a
standing menace against the laws of the coun-

NVHE above is an engraving of Steam Boiler con-
Il tanning 1900 feet Of heating surface, built upon
principle, namely that of stopping the vertical
circulation, accomplished by means of two horizon
tai didphrdgms running through the boiler, and
forming three water compartments, By this ar
rangement there is maintained three temperatures of
water
The smoke and heated gases pass first through the
tubes in the upper compartment, then descend and
return through the tubes in the second compartment
thence again descending they pass through the tubes
smoke, and heated gases from the furnace on their
way to the smoke stack, or chimney come in con-
tact with gradually decreasing temperatures of
water.
While doing average work, coupled with good
engine 1t will supply steam for $50 indicated horse
power. -,
per cent more power with the same weight of coal
than any boiler of the heating surface in the
Market and will continue do So as long as IL ia
used, and we will back our guarantees with Gov
EMINENT BONDS.
The durability of this boiler is greater than any
other for the reason is that cold water is allowed
TO come in contact with the intensely heated surfaces
the feed water being gradually heated as it ascends
from the lower to the upper compartment
We would especially call the attention of Railroad
men to the following facts, that while running this
bOierwith coal OF wood the aparks are neutraIized
and have ever left the smoke stack or chimney
which in itself is most valuable advantage neyei
before realized.
Combining ourselves to practice and mot tbeo, we
invite all parties in want of Steam Boilers to give us

The DahIgren Claim.

The widow of Admiral Dahlgren has
bill before Cungross which has al
ready passed the Senate, and in which
measureof justice is sought. The
Admiral invented q gun which was
used 10 every important naval battle
throughout the war. The gun render
ed invaluable service, but Admiral
Dahlgren has received no reward for
his ingenuity. For eighteen years the
weapon has been iii use, and the family
have never received one cent for it.
Mrs. Dahlgren has nopensioH, and the
public will gladly sec her receive from
the nation what is her just due. The
claim was described last year by Sena-
tor Stockton, when he said:
mrs. Dahlgren simply asks that
the Court OF Claims shall say what her
husbands estate Is entitled to. and to
that request of hers the Committee has
added that the Court of Claims shall
take into consideration the fact that he
was an officer of the United States
Navy; that his time and services and
skill were due to the Navy at the time;
that the means by which he tried his
experiments were at the expense of the
Government, and shall award any
sum which, after that consideration,
may be due to Mrs. Dahlgren."
