EnundeI onn Rock IT

Founded on % Rock 1.-THE disappoint-
ed adventures who have from time TO
time attempted to run their worthless po-
tions against brakes Plantation Bitters,
VOW that they cannot understand what
foundation there is for its amazing pop
ularity explanation is simple enough. The
reputation of the world-renowncd tonic Is
founded upon n rock, the Rock of Expert
encc. All its ingredients are pure and
wholesome. How, then, could trickstcrs
and cheats expect to rival II with COM
pounds of cheap drugs and refuse liquor, or
with liquorlcss trash in a state of acct ous
lamentations? or course the charlatans
have come To grief. Their little game has
failed. Their CONTEMPT for the sagacity Of
the immunity has been fitly finished.
Meanwhile Plantation hi rs seems to be
in fair way of eventually SupeTseding every
other medicinal preparation included in
the class To which IL belongs. In every
state and Territory of the Union IL is, to-
day, the acccp ed specific for nervous de-
billy, dyspepsia, fever and nge, rhcnma-
tism, and all ailments involving II deflci-
ency OF vital power.
Eg Pimples and brown spots on the face,
Eruptions. Blotches, Scrptulous Diseases
and all sores arising nom impure blood, are
cured by Dr. Picrcc's Golden Medical Dis
coNtfy.

Greenwood Grove.

We know that the residents of many of the
Atlantic cities envy Portland the possession of
the lovely islands that lie along her front like
Jewels in the diadem Of princess; beautiful
spots which have so many attractions for those
who seek relief from summer heats by the sea-
side Peaks Island is one of the most popular
Of the many, not only among our own people,
who throng to it daily, but by people from
distance who are in search of the comforts that
are readiest found at this season by the ocean.
Never, perhaps, has there been so many visitors
there as at the present time. The hotels and
boarding houses are full; buildings are going
up and Improvements are already begun and
contemplated, and a few years hence, the island
will become almost dense enough for an indie
pendent municipality.
Yesterday was gala day at this island. Mr.
John L. Shaw devised a very pleasant pro-
gramme for the amusement of the people,
which proved very attractive The steamers
Express, Gazelle and Magnet were chartered
for the day, and they made trips without regard
to schedule time; taking during the day a very
large number of people One incident of the
day was the opening of a new grove called
Greenwood, to public use. This is situated at
the lower end of the island, not far from the
landing, and can embrace in its shade about
5000 people 1t has been fitted up for parties,
and yesterday was prettily decorated with flags.
After the crowd had gathered, Mayor Kings
bury made very appropriate address, and was
| followed by S. B. Beckett, esq Mr.. Henry M.
Bracket, the proprietor, responded in very
| handsome manner, and then came very fine
| vocal and instrumental concert in which Misses
| Ayers and Weeks, and Messrs. Shaw and Pen
nell and horn qnartette from the Portland
Band took part
| In the afternoon regatta was planned, in
which the Portland Yacht Club were invited tt
take part. Six vessels of the fleet entered, will

upward The course was from the judges boa
| off Jones' landing, round a stake boat off Cliff
Cottage and up the roads round stake boat of
Little Hog Island, back to the judges boat-ar
estimated run of about six miles The breez'
was light but steady, which gave the small
boats the advantage. The signal was given
little before O clock and the vessels went of
independently, the time being taken at tn
Judges boat. Allowance was given for differ
ence in tonnage. The sloop Alarm crossed thu
line first and came back leading the fleet, wit
the Ethel and Ray following, the others stream
ing along in regular succession. The Alarr
rounded the upper stake boat with the Etho
only three and half minutes behind, the Ra
almost tapping the Ethel. with only three
fourths of minute difference in time. The
came the Spy and Kate. The Usher, Ella an

To the Editor of The Press:
great many are present this afternoon, it
being the first pleasant day of the meeting.
There is quite rush for dinner tickets and for
once the dining hall is full, although large
proportion of the people adopt the picnic plan
and bring their own lunch.
Last evening Rev. Mr.. Hatch preached from
Psalms A, 8. Audience very small Mr..
Hatch gives the seekers after the ludicrous a
little too much occasion to smile at some of his
expressions such as Heavenly screw driver"
&c, and evidently weakens the effect of the
many good points in his discourses by such
phrases.
This forenoon Bev. D. B. Randall preached
ably from Erhesians, 5 chap, 25, 26 and 9th
verses. His sermon was a powerful one and
his subject, '"The Atonement, and Christ
love, 81" was very fully presented. 1t is i'm
possible to give even synopsis of his sermon
in short report. 1t was one of the best dis
courses yet preached at this meeting.
The number of social meetings increase as
the crowd grows larger and nearly every tent
will be in use this afternoon and evening for
prayer and exhortation.
In the afternoon Rev. Mr.. Munger preached
from Ephesians 1, 4, on the subject !of holiness
His sermon was of the same order as that of
Mr. Randall's, able and effective.
AT the close of the meeting about seventy
four persons responded to the invitation to come
to the altar when for short time a thrilling
interest was manifested. After a season of
worship a large number protested to have re-
ceived the blessing they sought.
Better singing is heard in the grounds to-day
which adds much to the pleasant features of
the meeting. Among the recent arrivals 1 no.
tice Prof w. w Davis of Boston, and it is ru-
mored that he will assist in the choir during
the balance of the meeting. Rev.'J. w. Jack
son, of Hanover Street NJ. E. Church, Boston,
is on the grounds and will remain over the Sab
bath.
Rev. Mr.. JONES of Gardiner, will preach in

WHEEL1Na,W Va. Aug. 23.-The vote in
this city was the largest ever cast. There will
probably be majority of 200 or 800 against the
Constitution and as large majority for Jacobs
for Governor. News from other points is
meagre hut of similar character.
Scattering returns from IA counties show :
large gain on the vote of two years ago, in fav-
or of Jacobs Independent candidate for Gov
ernor, and indicate his probable election, with
fair chance that the Constitution is defeated.

Violence in Tenmessec.

MEMPHIS, Aug. 23.-Rumors of collision
between the whites and blacks at Colliersville
lynching of negro named John Brown few
nights since were current here yesterday after
noon. About o'clock Sheriff Curry received
telegram asking for assistance, and immedi-
ateiy summoned posse of fifty men and left
on the train for that place. From passenger
by last nights train it is learned that body of
armed negroes estimated at from three to four
hundred, assembled about two miles from Col
liersville, and that the sheriff with 200 armed
men has gone to meet them. The negroes had
arrested several persons and proposed to try
at Colliersville has accompanied the sheriff S
posse, and it is impossible to obtain any def

affair, and fears of bloody collision are enter

Labor Reformcrs in Pennsylvania.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 23.-Delegates to
the Labor Reform Convention of Pennsylvania
after a general convention yesterday net to
take action in reference to State affairs. TWEEN
ty-three counties were represented. John
Reckle. who called the Convention to order,
spoke in high terms of the Labor Reform can
didate for Governor, VIM. o. Schell, and hoped
the vorkingmen throughout the State would do
their utmost in securing his election and the en-
tire ticket nominated He severely denounced
the candidate of the Democratic party, Bucka-
lew, whom he claims was of aristocratic ideas,
an enemy of the workingmen and antagonistic
to the eight hour law. Resolutions endorsing
Schell and denouncing Buckaew and the plat
form of the Convention which nominated him,
and also that al address will be issued to the
workingmen of the State were adopted. A
committee was appointed to prepare ansaddress
and the meeting adjourned subject to the call
of the Chair.
1t is said that a conference was held in this
city to-day which makes it possible that Goa
lit:on between the regular labor reformers and
trades unionists will be effected upon basis
that if the Louisville Convention declares itself
in favor of labor reform principles. labor re-
formers and trades union men will support
their ticket Labor reformers regard this as
a most important movement for it adds undis-
puted strength to already existing forces of reg
ular labor reformers in Pennsylvania. Almost
every county will have labor reform ticket in
tba fold
