Comments Of Grace Greenwood ON the sal

L. ;. GRANT.

Washington Mar. i2) Correspondence (Grace
Greenwood) Of the New YORK Time,.)
Mr.. Buffers answer to Mr.. Farnsworth's
brave demand that the claims of the wom-
en- of the departments, called "copyis Is, "
should first be considered in anv increase
OF salary. was very significant He avcrr-
ed that IL would not be safe to call them
clerks and pay them clerks wages for
clerks work. unless they could first be pro-
tected by the ballot, a. the promotion
would rouse the cupidity OF their natural
protectors, who. armed with votes. and
backed by congressman, would drive them
out of their well-csrned positions and take
possession. Well, Mr.. Butler, when these
same copyists, TO whom you dare not now
do justice. attain the franchise, will you
pledge yourself to bring In and engineer
through bill granting them back salary
for all these years of faithful. underpaid

do" Such a measure will be justified. il

when Adam laid on Eve all the blame of

Ellsworth's Interests in Rail Roads.

What is for the interest OF Ellsworth, in
relation to a Railroad from the East through
Ellsworth to some point West:
A Railroad will undoubtedly benefit this
City, if built in the right place. if not 50
built, she had better be without tiff il is
built to carry q large amount of trade TO
some other town. she had better be with
out tiff it is built to sluice everything
through. without stopping, she had better
be without it. But if it is built to bring
trade-cheaper transportation, facilitate
business, then it will become a source of
revenue Now Is the time, TO settle this
matter.
The shortest route 10y rail 10 a winter
Harbor. one that is open all the year round.
is Castine, distant % miles from Ellsworth,
direct
The difference between st. John and Ban
gor via. the f. & \. A. Railroad and the
Bangor and Calais Shore line Railroad, is
30 miles in favor of the shore line, a saving
of about one and a half hours.
The difference between Ellsworth and
Portland via. Bangor q Maine Central
and via Castine, Rockland by steamer and
Knox and Lincoln Railroad is 81 IL miles
(the latter route being the shortest) saw
ing of one and a half hours, making the
time three hours less from St. John to
Portland via. Shore Line than by the L. &
n. A and NJ. c. Railroads. Go still fur
Their East and cross from PASSPORT by
steamer to Annapolis, thence by rail 10 Hal
flax and you shorten the distance from Hal
flax to Portland or Boston l76 miles and
save ten hours.
If the road is built from Ellsworth to
Castine, Ellsworth will have what Bangor
has not, winter harbor; she can send her
lumber TO be shipped at all times and can
receive at all times by steamer and rail-
her merchandise.
Cheap transportation puts her On foot
ing with other towns, for the wholesale
trade.
Now, the questions for the merchants of
Ellsworth to determine is, Will they pay
tribute to themselves or some other town?
viii they retain the wholesale trade or re-
linquish it to some other town?
Ellsworth is the shire town of the county

BURIED IN THE SNow.-The melting of
the snow, caused by the warm sun and
winds of the past week. has revealed sad
and very distressing sight on High Street.
In garden not far from the corner of Con-
gress Street. there has been found the form
OF a woman. entirely denuded of clothing,
and half-buried in the snow. Who she is,
what her name may be, her birth and her
nationality seem wrapped in impenctrable
mystery. The form is beautiful one. and
the fine features retain an expression Of
quiet happiness, as though she were just
sinking to sleep. The hands are OF marble
Wilderness, and are quite evidently unused
to labor. For some hidden reason the SER
vices of a coroner were not called for
! Portland Press.
Is it not very imprudent for the Portland
| ladies to wear such an undress this severe
winter: The wrap of impenetrable mystic
/ ry, while it may protect the person. cannot
/ afford much warmth.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1873-03-20

and Railroad to Castine will prevent a
division OF the county. Ii will give the
people cheap and rapid transportation to
attend Courts and other county business
and will attract trade not repulse it. She
needs Winter Harbor and cheap transport
tation at all times if she would continue TO
thrive.
Let not the people of Ellsworth become
crazy aboIt Railroad for the sake of hay
ing one. Let them see to IT, that when
they do undertake it. it shall bring bust
ness, not take it away.
The Castine route will help all of the
towns on the shore to st. John. because 1t
will give more business. both of passengers
and freight. than any other line. At Cas-
tine. passengers and freight can be put on
the ears from all points West, cheaper
than any other connecting point from
Ellsworth.
/ Transportation Is much cheaper 10y
/ steamer than by rail.
If Bangor twenty-five Years ago had
built railroad to some good Winter llar-
Dor, also into Piscataquis and Aroostook
counties rather than to the Kennebcc river,
she would have been an hundred per cent
better of to-day, and would have nearly
doubled the population she now has; the
West in due tine would come to her: the
only way to Judge of the future is by the
past.
We give below the distances from Hall
fax and intermediate places to Portland by
each route.
