Mr.. EDIroR.-A correspondent of the Argus
after referring to the fact that the freight
charge on hardware from Boston to Skowhe-
gan is 5000 per ton, by the Maine Central rail-
road, declares that this road exacts $6.4O per
ton on the same commodity from Portland to
Skowhegan. Whereas the fact is that the
charge from Portland to Skowhegan is only
$500 per ton. On the strength of such allega-
tions he proceeds to couple the name of the
railroad with injustice" discrimination in
favor of Boston," etc. Do such accusations
take origin in ignorance or malice? P.

ILL BRED PEoPLE.-That brutal Indifference
to the feelings of a lecturer and to the comfort
or pleasures of their fellows which is SO char
acteristic of certain portions of Portland au-
dience, received a marked illustration during
the delivery of Newman Halls lecture
at City Hall Saturday evening. AS soon as it
became evident that the speaker had begun his
peroration there began great hustle in the
rear of the hall. Men got up, put on their
overcoats, dropped their canes with great
clatter adjusted their wives shawls, obstructed
the view of their Ieighbors, rendered it quite
impossible to hear a word the speaker was say
ing, ard made themselves as personally often
sive as they we'll could. Many of those guilty
of this boorish conduct call themselves gentle
men, and claim social position and culture.
Visitors here truthfully say that there is no
other city in the land that can turn out so i'll
bred an audience or where men and women are
so ill-behaved as in Portland.

Fires Yesterday.
About midnight flames were discovered issu-
ing from the lard room of Thompson & Leigh
toms large pork packing establishment on
Portland street. In few minutes the whole
establishment was on fire. The flames were
not extnguished until the buildings were mere
shells. A drove Of 16O hogs were rescued; 200
dressed hogs were spoiled and great quantities
of pork cut up and packed we're more or less
injured. AS is usual at this season of the year,
there was very large stock on hand, the
building being completely filled with pork 1t
is impossible yet to estimate the damage, for
much pork may be left in a saleable condition.
The Consequential damages" occasioned by
cessation of work at SO busy season of the
year, will be, of course, considerable. The
building and stock were insured at the agency
of Dow, Palmer & Libby for $4,000.
About 1890 yesterday morning the Stafford
Block on Franklin street was discovered to be
on fire. The flames were extinguished by
stream from the hydrant. and but little damage
resulted. The fire had its origin in defective
chimney.

are horrible enough. A man is torn from
his family, allowed no time to settle his
business or say farewell word, and is on
the road almost before his wife has heard
of his arrest. If he lives to reach Siberia
he must settle on spot indicated, and
marry some female prisoner, and report
himself to the local authorities just so
often. Old ties are broken, new ones
formed, and any hope of pardon which he
may have foolishly entertained soon dies
out. "n1
Trials are mere farces in Russia, where
the prisoners are charged with an offence
against the government In the case of
noble, he might be allowed lawyer and
given some show to clear himself but the
common man would be granted no privi-
leges. / saw an instance of this during my
second week at Cronsdadt / had my at
tention attracted one day to a curious cane
which laboring man was carrying, and
took a sharper look at the man himself
than should otherwise have given. Half
an hour after he had passed me he came
back in charge Of a policeman, handcuffed
and weeping. pp~
"You have been speaking treason p'
heard the officer saying.
Il only said that the pay of the soldiers
was too small and our taxes too high !" re-
piled the man. 'e 'P'' '''
But he had said enough. He was taken
before some government official, ordered
to stand up, and was sent to prison for
long term. The statement of the police
official was not even supported by an out
slider, but it was all that was needed.
The poor Poles are the worse sufferers
They are singled out, and annoyed and
dogged, until they must quit the place or
give utterance to some word which can be
taken as pretext to send them to Siberia.
Mrs. Morrow had one in her employ for
short time. She was tidy active woman,
and knowing that her personal safety de-
pended upon her silence, she seldom spoke
of anything out side of her work. The
woman had never seen photograph, and
her astonishment was great when Mrs.
Morrow allowed her to inspect her album
one day. She had in her box a. sketch
portrait other grandfather, an officer of the
Polish army who had given the Russians
cause to hate him. The officer had been
dead twenty years, within three hours after
exhibiting the sketch the girl was arrested
on charge of entertaining reasonable senti-
ments. The sketch was seized and destroy
ed, and the girl disappeared from Crons-
dadt, either sent to prison or Siberia.
There is another matter which goes far
towards compelling the people to submit to
the iron rule of the emperor, and to have
a due regard of what they say In most
cases, any witness who came forward and
attempted to swear the prisoner free would
be looked upon as an accomplice, and the
sentence of the one would be the sentence
of the other 2s'afi ''"9is4

the Cronsdadt officials would give me an
noyance, as I found out the first day
started out on walk. Continued next

Lost All.

An avaricious old farmer named Hig-
ginson, residing near Toledo, has had
$1,000 in the bank for several years.
Some foolish neighbors worked upon. the
old mans fears, and he resolved to draw
out his money. He took it from o real
place of safety, and took it home, hiding it
in bed tick, The following night he was
Weakened from a profound slumber by a
sense of something cold pressed against his
temple, and opening his eyes, found three
masked men in the room all armed, and
one of them holding a cooked pistol, do
manded the money, threatening to blow
out his brains in one minute in case of re-
fusal. The old man surrendered the mon
ey, and the robbers departed in high glee.
Now the farmer wishes he had left 1t in
the bank, and refuses to be comforted. u d
Such transactions will be quite common
all over the country. People who hayeno
use for their money will find 1t much tho
safest plan to leave It. in, the bank OF loan
it to some responsible busi-sss man. ia,isai
