After BangorWhat7

The people on the proposed Shore Line
Railroad have waited patiently six months
to learn what Bangor would do to aid the
construction Of the road. the western
terminus to be u III At city. The waiting
was through friendship for friends of the
enterprise in Bangor. They were earnest,
honest workers, and expected their city
would give the asked for aid. The recent
vote shows large majority, not two thirds
as the law requires, of its enterprising,
progressive business people wanted to aid
in building the road, and wanted its ter
minus there and its business SO much of it
as they could secure.
The sentiment that has favored Bangor
in this section will now turn to another
point, and look to other sources for help.
The friends of the road will seek alliance
with towns, cities and corporations who
are willing to work for what they want.
The watchword must and will be, q

forces, and bring ideas into a united work.

and argument will mould these elements
into healthy industry at an early day.

port Bucksport, and the western shore
towns on the PenObscOt, Wioterport to
Rockland, and Bath will be more encourage
ed. Portland will aid and encourage such
q through line. Some Line west OF Port
land will identify itself in the enterprise.
On the whole much larger interest both
moral and financial will favor the Inde-
pendent Shore Route than favored the
route to Bangor. With the whole shore
enlisted, Portland to Calais inclusive, de-
feat is not to be thought Of Success is
certain. Existing and jealous corporations
may cast hindrances In the way aud cause
some delay, but the portion of Maine en-
listed are sufficient OF themselves TO give
practical influence and turn Of mind to men
who are to be Executive officers and leg
islatOrs.
Some persons hold that the failure Of
Bangor to aid the Company is one Of the
best things that has yet transpired in the
history OF the Shore Line. Il may prove
80. It will stimulate energy and arouse
the whole people TO greater activity.
Fifty years hence Bangor may be the
''center" Of Maine considered in business
light. Inst city by 1895 may be TO N.ihe

attain to this she must work ia a liberal

The following is q brief sketch Of the
life Of James Brooks. NJ. e., from the
eighth District Of New York, who died in
Washington. April 30th. Taken from the
Boston Globe.
For nearly forty years Mr.. Brooks has
been intimately connected with the press
Of New York city, while he has also been
for many years a Representative in Con-
gress, uphOlding the Democratic interests
of the political divisions OF the day. He
was also, during q certain period, cham
pion. both with voice and pen, of the native
American organization. His death, at the
age Of sixty-three years, leaves but few Of
the veterans of New York Journalism still
In the harness. His early career was much
like others familiar TO US IS men Of mark.
He was born in Portland, Me-, in 1910, and
after passing the career Of poor but am-
bilious boy in that neighborhoOd finally ed
tered Waterville College. Me-, in 1881 /,
from which institution he graduated with
honors. In 1885 he was q member of the

Mr.. Brooks was q very earnest aud ar

he lent himself, and possessed not . little
OF what is termed personal magnetism.
His friendships were warm and many, aud

Following the Flag.

a flag Is but yard or two of bunting
when it is looked at as a matter of fact,
but the men who have been willing to
die for it all these hundreds of wears
have seen it in something more than
coarse cloth, certainly. Apopular Eng
lish lecturer, not many wears ago, told
some anecdotes strongly illustrative Of
the universal prevalence OF this poetic
feeling among the plainest of the people.
We can only repeat two of them from
memory. An English regiment in In
dia had its colors (nothing but square
yard oil bunting, OF course,) taken away
from it for some act of characterization.
Every man had rations and pay a,
usual. and no physical punishment OF
any sort was added to the ideal one
mentioned. Yet every man in that regi-
ment groaned and suffered under the
chastisement. Coarse, illiterate, brutal
fellows, perhaps they were. Why
should any OF them mind the taking
away Of a regimental flag! Common
sense would laugh at such punish
ment for such men, But the command
er knew what he was about A fort
was TO be stOrmed at the top of a long
hill. The enterprise was a pccnl arly
perilous one, and one that requir, d
something more than ordinary courage
and ordinary persistence. The com
manding officer rode down the line to
the position occupied by the dissraced
regiment. "Men!" he cried, "your
colors are at the top of the hill-chargev ~
And charge they did, that single regi-
ment, up the long, capnon-swept hill F.,
through the abattis, over the ramparts,
into the fort at last, q mere handful OF
them left to receive the flag again, for
which more than twO-thirds Of the brave
fellows had gladly given their lives
There was no common sense in the mat :
ter, else the fort never could have been
taken at all. The poetry in the souls OF
those rough soldiers oyerhore that. AN d
who shall say that the poetic was not the
worthier and more manly view3

THURSDAY, NAY 8, 1879.
JOSEPH A. DEANE, ESQ.

Died at his residence in this city on
the morning of the 4th inst, Joseph A.
Deane, Esq, at the age of about II.
Col. Deane was born in Raynham,
Mass. He came TO Ellsworth, while a
minor, as clerk for the late Col. Black
and continued some years in his employ
ment, or connected in business with
him. With the exception of few years
he has resided in this place. from tina,
time to the day of his death.
He was Clerk of the Courts for this
County for several years, and held vari.
Gus other important offices. He was
always regarded as an honest, faithful
and competent public officer.
In early life being engaged in mercan.
tile pursuits, he was not admitted to the
bar until 1874. He continued the prac.
tice of his profession in this place from
the time of his admission, with the sx.
ccption of two or three years, when lie
resided at Sullivan and Gouldsboro' as
Deputy Collector.
Col. Deane was an accomplished Land
Surveyor, and few men in the State had
more experience or more practical
knowledge of the subject. His memory
was exceedingly tenacious, and his
knowledge of the topography of Han
cock County was extensive and accurate.
In his business habits he was methodi-
cal, and for the last thirty or forty years,
he kept full journals of his business
transactions. The notes and memoran-
dums of his numerous surveys, if pre-
served, will be Of great value hereafter
in settling questions of disputed lines
and title to real estate in this county.
He was a man of fine literary taste
and was an extensive reader of general
literature. He was fond of books and
had collected a very excellent library.
He was true TO his convictions ON all
suhjec,s and was bold in advocating and
sustaining them. On all public ques-
tons his views were decided and en-
rhatic, and he occupied no equivocal
position.
He was Kind hearted and sympathetic,
true TO his friends, a good neighbor. and
most genial companion. His &C
quaintance with the people of this coun-
~, and throughout the State was very
extensive, and his sudden death will be
mourned by thousands.
He was brother of the late John G..
Deane, for many years distinguished
lawyer of this place. His wife died
three or four years since, and but one
daughter, Mrs. Otis, widow of Amory
Otis, Esq, late of this city, is left to
mourn his departure.
