There is a hay famine in this section, and one
third of the inhabitants in this town, Brooksyi)ln
and Bluehi have not hundred pounds each
of hay in their barns. There is none to be
bought, and no corn nearer than Belfast, with
navigation closed by ice. II this weather nolds
many cattle must starve.
Winter fishing is pursued here to consdera-
Bile extent, in catching smelts and cells and
employs good many men. For the purpose a
small frame house is built, covered with cloth.
and containing stove. The house is built on
runners, hauled to the spot for operations, and
fishing begins. Sometimes in the early part of
the season, when the fish take the hook lively.

industry brings good many dollars into the

There is need of an investigation by the Pen

Accounts from Managua, Central

taking off their hats while religious pro-

Mr. Phillips and the Press.

The opening portion of the lecture by
Wendell Phillips, which will be found in
this paper, bears the stamp of the man,
It is sharp, aggressive polished, brilliant.
lie ALWAYS appears like an intellectual
gladiator, armed to the teeth and cunning
OF fence, who charms an audience by the
easy grace with which he punctures an
opponert. But all the while the nearer IS
sensible OF feeling that his statements
want that candor without which they lack
force however much they may shine with
rhetorical beauty. Like most brilliant
men he is sometimes betrayed into using
his powers uniustly. And there is occa-
sionally to be discovered that lack of
consistency with which he charges others.
| Take for instance his statements COR
corning the press-that it ignores an un-
popular but lust principle, until platform
| speakers have made it popular. AS
matter of fact, Mr. Phillips and kindred
aeitators owe their power with the people
| at large 10 llt ldCt tHdi liio hS SP"PSAS
report their speeches and multiply the eff
feet hundred fold If Mr.. Phillips shon d
| speak in Faneuil Hall, and the press take
no notice of his effort, he would himself
teel as though his labor had been lost. AS
an instance of the injustice which the
| speaker manifested, take the story related
of his experience in publishing commu-
nication. He actually holds himself to
have been injured because the editor OF
the paper, after giving place to an article
which was held to be Objectionable, took
| occasion to express his own opinion in his
columns, II Mr. Phillips neighbor gives
| him lift along the road in his carriage,
| is he to find fault with that neighbor be-
cause he rides beside him? And yet
| little further along, he eulogized the plat
| form. because ait teaches that robust in
| Gtpendence which dares to listen TO an
opponent" Why, that was precisely
what the editor was doing with whom he
| finds fault-and not only listening, but
! giving that opponent the means OF being
heard. 1t was an example Of fairness and
candor which, for the argument of Mr..
Phillips, proved altogether too much.

ARRIVAL or NATIVES FROM THE NORTH.
On Tuesday noon the busy hum of trade in our
streets was suspended by an unusual Interrupt
ton A strange procession of curious vehicles
entered our town, the cOnveyances being of the
rudest kind, constructed of poles ingeniously
dashed together, with shafts of the most eongat-
ed kind. Seated in these sledges were people
clothed in furs, who proved to be dwellers at
Winderput, on the shores of the Polar Sea to
the northward. Some of chem wore fur caps
that shot mp into the air like church steeples.
Passing through the streets they drove to the
steamer Cambridge, which seemed to be an old
American House, and received calls from our
citizens. The party was really distinguished
one, consisting of Ham-eu-shan, Head Centre
and Fatwood the Medder King accompanied
by such officials as the Secretary of Interior
Waters, Lord Mayor, Lord High Admiral,
Captain of the Horse Marines, Secretary of
War, Grand High Steward ard Deputy, the
Hairypsrent, and Keeper of Seals land walrus.)
Many Of our citizens took dinner with them. 1t
was noticed that they showed an extraordinary
fondness for tropical fruits, some of which they
had never seen before. Remarks were made
by the visitors and responses by the citizens.
after which they prepared to depart At
twilight, filled with the Yiands and fluids Of
civilization, clothed and in their right minds"
our visitors took their sedges, and winding up
the northern hills, disappeared i'll the arctic
night.
THE BOATS THAT HAVE RUN. gentleman
who ought TO be familiar with the Penobsc0t
steamboat routes, was asked how many boats
had been upon it at different times. He thought
there had been as many as dozen. Daniel Lane,
Jr, says they count up to fifty, and gives the
following list, which dates back to about 1890.

A while ago we gave an account of a
cargo of salt which arrived in Boston on
the bark Niphon from Trapani. The cost
of the sale was invoiced at 81, 900 and
the duty on it was about Sc, 800, gold
over 300 per cent. This story excited
the establishment of Honest George Bout
wel) and he wrote to the Collector of
Boston about it. What he mainly Won
dered at was the cheapness of the salt
The poor man has never been abroad
But the Collector had to tell him that
$1,000 was really all the salt cost in
Sicily. Let us give him something else to
wonder at. The Saudusky arrived here
last month from Trapani with salt. The
salt cost $l.O08, in gold. The freight was
S4,39290, currency, and the duty was
$500, gold. Hence Honest George NAV
see that the Onondaga salt-boiler is pro-
tected by freight 430 per cent ad valorem
and BY Legislation $50 per cent When
he considers that this allows the salt boiler
to charge 100 per cent. above cost for salt
of the same grade as the Sicilian salt he
may cease to wonder that salt is cheaper
in Sicily than at Groton. N. Y. World

A STEAMBOAT SURPRISE. Since the Cam
bridge has lain in our harbor Capt. johnson
and the officers have received the courtesies
aud attentions of our citizens, and have ex.
perienced as much enjoyment as possible under
the interruption of business. On Satu rday the
ladies formed plot to give them surprise.
While the Captain and most of the officers were
passing the evening at the house of the agent.
Mr.. Wells, party numbering about 100 took
possession of the boat, spread in the after saloon
a table covered with the materials for a supper,
and converted the spacious forward saloon into
a hall for dancing. When the Captain came on
board in response to message that he was
wanted he found the saloons lighted, heard the
enlivening sound ofmusic, and beheld the merry
dance going round. 1t is difficult to say whe Their
the commander was most surprised or gratitied ::
but he entered fully into the spirit of the oc
casion, as did all the officers, especially Mr..
Wight. the steward, who had to be let into tn q
secret. And while the storm ragged without,
with furious wind and whirling snow, within
the elegant apartments of the boat all was
warmth and comfort and endowment. AT near
midnight, with many good nights and kind
wishes, the company separated.
