BRowN's CLIFF TIBERIUs.''-One of the
finest pictures that our talented resident artist,
Harry b. Brown, has ever painted is the, "Cliff
Tiberius, Island of Capri, now on exhibition at
Schumacher's
Capri is beautiful island situated near the
southern arm of the rounding land which en-
circles the Bay of Naples, the above named
cliff being at the southwestern point and looks
boldly out at sea. 1t is not far from Naples, is
rich in antiquarian treasures, and famous as
having upon one of its hills the ruins of the
villa Of the Roman Emperor, Tiberius, who re-
tired for while to this spot and gave the reins
of government temporarily into the hands of
his nephew One of his chief pleasures was
compelling Christian slaves to leap into the
sea from the cliff. The picture on gives this
grand historical site and it is, as above stated,
one of Browns best. The high, bold promoll-
tory, with its old castle at the summit, grada-
ting to the sea by sections of rocky bases, the
old temples and shrines, the Hotel Tiberius,
the green foliage and the moss-grown sleeps,
the beautiful blue Mediterranean surrounding
the classic isle, the shores of Sorrento in the far
distance, all are finely sketched and beautifully
painted There is a delightful attractiveness
to the whole picture which is refreshing

LAST Monday evening at the Jefferson street
church, an entertainment was given for the
benefit and amusement of the younger mem
bers of the society. An excellent collation. was
contributed by the mothers and sisters, gotten
up Of such dainties as are calculated to tickle
the tender palates of the children. The worthy
pastor exhibited his knowledge of human ma
ture by interspersing among the festivities just
enough of his appropriate remarks to render
them interesting without wearyng Nearly, if
net quite, two hundred were present and the oc-
casion was so universally enjoyed that we sim
cerely hope that it is but the first of series and
that other societies will take the hint and fol
low the excellent example.
THE report of the State Superintendent of
Schools exhibits an alarming absence of schOl-
airs from the Biddeford schools 1t is stated
that out of 5000, most of whom undoubtedly
ought to attend, the actual attendance was but
1900! Very many are compelled to commence
work upon the corporations before they have
an opportunity to attend at all, and Others have
no excuse but parental negligence. Somebody
sadly neglects an important duty.

Flag Raising,

The Republicans of Steep Falls, Standish,
flung to the breeze, Saturday afternoon last a
Grant and Wilson flag, to the evident satisfac-
ton of the people there assembled. The meet
ing was called to order by Hon. Tobias Lord,
who introduced j. O. Winshp, Esq, the ora
tor of the day. Mr.. Winship spoke about two
hours in his usual forcibe and able manner,
holding the complete attention of his audience
for that length of time, although he spoke in
the open air with the thermometer at 900. As
a report has been going the rounds that Mr..
Lord was Greeley man, permit me to say that
if the friends of Mr.. Greeley can find comfort
in such report they can enjoy themselves.
Very small crumbs, for everybody knows, who
knows anything about it, that firmer or more
decided supporter of Grant and Wilson than
Tobias Lord does not exist As this is the first
meeting of the kind anywhere outside of the
cities and larger villages, Steep Falls must be
reckoned ahead in this matter, as it no doubt
will lead in the support of the Republican NOM
inees, both State aud national; for the inhabi-
tants of this little village take very high rank
in intelligence, patriotism and a knowledge of
the principles that underlie our system of gov
eminent; and it has been one of Mr. Greeley's
greatest hobbies that where intelligence and
patriotism abound, there very large Republican
majortics are sure to be found At least he
has advocated this doctrine until very recent
date SrANDIsH.

The Anti-GreeIy Democratic Movement.
NEW YORK, July 3-The World prints a cir
cular referred to in Western dispatches of last
week, which it says has been sent to prominent
Democrats in every Congressional district dur
ing the past fortnight. The circular urges
prompt measures to save the Democratic party
from destructon and says the Cincinnati Con-
vention was self-constituted body without any
followers, half of whom have bOlted. 1t urges
the securing of two prominent and true Demo-
Gratis at Baltimore from each Congressional dis

1 If the Convention at Baltimore is so lost to
reason, so utterly shameless in the abandon
ment of principles as to go outside of the party
to select a lifelong opponent as their nominee,
such action is not binding. and it remains for
true Democrats then and there to organize an
other convention without delay and to nominate
tried and trustworthy standard bearers

the above condemns the proposed movement and

nomination at Baltimore inevitable, and urges
