soldiers Orphans Home Mt bath.

The Trustees of this benefcient institution
have submitted their annual report to TIE
Governor and Council. The asylum contn-
ues in its former course Of prosperity, and
makes happy home for the large number of
orphan children gathered from all parts Of
the State. BY the Treasurers report it ap-
pears that the amount of income and appro-
priation falls below the amount necessary to
pay the outstanding accounts and to meet the
current wants. The Trustees unanimously
recommend an appropriation by the State of
$4,000 for the expenses of the ensuing year.
The lady managers of the Home, through
their President, Mrs. Sarah b. Gannett,
make report, setting forth the internal con-
dition of the institution and its wants. The
number of children who have been inmates
of the Home during the year is seventy three.
Of these, twenty have been removed in vari-
GUS ways. Eight have returned to their
mothers, one to her guardian, three have been
adopted, three have been provided with good
homes where their position is more or less
nearly that Of children, and five of the older
boys have good homes in the country where
they are learning to work. The number of
children in the family atpresent is ffty-three.
There has been no death in the family during
the wear, and only few cases of serious i'll,
ness. The behavior of the children, taking
the year through, has been generally satsfac-
tory. There have been no cases of serious
delinquency. The children attend the pub
lie schools as heretofore, and are making
some progress in their studies. There is one
in the high school, four in the grammar
school, and all the rest in the various prima-
nv schools. The children are regular in at
tendance at church and the Sabbath School.
The work, such as cooking, washing, ironing
house. cleaning, and sewing, necessary to be
done in so large family, and which is essen
tial to Its comfort and decency, is often q
source of difficulty and perplexity to the
Managers. Arrangements are being made

Col. Dewitt advertised in the Daily jour
nal the other day for certain maps. The re-
suit is graphically depicted by the Gardiner
journal:
The effects OF advertising was well illus
grated on Monday. On Saturday Col De-
Witt of Augusta advertised for maps Of the
State of Maine, and Kennebec, Lincoln, and
Sagadahoc caur,iss. So On Monday morn
ing one of our en,rrprising booksellers start
ed ia the first train for Augusta, with two
maps under his arm. and on arriving at Au-
gusta struck ubie-quick gait for Col. De.
Wits office. Here he found an old man
waiting, with two maps for sale. Soon nice
looking young lady came, with maps for sale !;
and then boy. Young William concluded
.'the woods was full of en-" as Col. Dewitt
was not there, he concluded to put for the
Office of the X. L. & L. Co., and thus distance
all competitors. He had got about half way
there, and was congratulating himself on
monopoly of the map trade, when looking
back he saw the old man and his maps COM
ing in a sleigh. Bill struck in to run. The
old man rose in his seat and belabored the
horse with his cane, and got ahead of our he
ro, so that he was at the top of the stairs as
William reached the bottom. Luck, however,
at last perched on the banners Of our Gardi-
Her uoy, loE tdc oAu HAL "SIis tNto the wrong
Office, as he dashed into the right one. Will

There has been much innocent testing for

therefore take occasion to denounce all these

One of the marked characteristics Of the age
seems to be q chronic laundering after change
