stand as experts IN the Forgery case now on
trial. On Wednesday morning one OF these
gents stepped into an attorneys Office, and in
response to question. stated that he knew all
about Amos Morris signature and could not be
deceived by any bogus attempt. six pieces Of
paper on which were written Amos Morris,
five of which were bogus, were shown him and
the request made that he should select the
genuine. The first one pronounced bogus By

as genuine was bogus one. so much for the

THE IGNORANT Rich MEN OF BANGOR
General Hersey, lately elected to Congress
is one of the richest men in eastern Maine;
is self-made, rather illiterate, and very
vain. Not very long ago he built for
himself fine house which was fitted and
finished without regard to expense. Soon
after its completion, he invited stranger
to see its beauties. "Ther," said he, with
a glow of honest pride, "Ive got one more
gas-burner than any other house in Ban
gor" A few years ago, when the question
Of erecting a soldiers monument was agi-
tated, there was difference of opinion as
to the inscriptions to be adopted. Mayor
Dale, being appealed to, declared that he
did not approve of long inscriptions, he
would have something simple and impress
i've; "Ripogenus' would be quite enough.
"Ripogenus" Il am not sure about the spell
ing) is the name of lake in northern
Maine, and it is likely that the worthy
mayor confounded with the Latin word re-
surgamus. This story reminds me of Gov.
Coburn's blunder. He, too, was a very
rich and very illiterate man. He was gov
ernor Of Maine in 1862, and on his return
from visit to Washington, he was asked
about lady, well known to the Inquirer,
who had gone on 10 that city. ooh, yes"

'Ehc value of Yesterday.

Great is the Office of hope. We have
no word too good or extreme for that fac
ulty. but we would enter plea in behalf of
the value of yesterday in its relations to
mind and heart. Hope is grand senti-
ment, but it conveys no information. All
the information of the soul comes up from
the days that are gone. Hence one of the
best thinkers said, "Not to know history is
to he always a child" The value of the
ideas that enter into human life is chiefly to
be learned by watching their evolution and
workings in that great workshop called yes
terday. Take the idea of liberty, and no
dreamer who looks into the future can be-
hold its length and breadth, but he alone
can measure the import of the term who
hears the cry of the slave from the days of
the Romans down to the career of our own
land, and who sees the prosperity of free
dom from Athens to Florence, and from
Florence to England and America. Take
the idea of home, and if you would feel the
import of the word, look not forward into
poetic haze. but back into human expo
rence, in the tears of sadness and JOY that
have fall n by the feet of any exile going
away or coming back or look into your
own childhood and consult its memories
and then the term unveils itself with no
light or shadow left out. Beyond the UNI
folding of truths, yesterday possesses an
other power-that of softenng and modu-
lating the mind and heart. Egotism draws
its vanity from a perfect forgetfulness of
yesterday. Self-consciousness and coming
greatness erase all else from the mind, and
the egotist stands great in his possibilities
He is just about to conquer a world or
greatly surprise one. Any deep study of
his own or the worlds yesterday would
drain his heart of the last drop of personal
vanity, for there was an arena and he did
not conquer or astonish world-and there
all those who were more highly endowed
are sleeping in forgotten dust. If the past
utters anything that is of value it is that all
self-worship and glorifcation are the weak
est shape human nature can assume, and
that there is nothing worth living for except
the general mental and moral progress of
self and of mankind. The great graves
are those which cover the dust of hearts
that did some work that entered after them
into the public welfare and happiness

and proportionate with its impoverishment
has been the increase of their wealth.
The extravagant manner in which the
corporations resources have been squan-

the improvements which II had agreed to

why they are SO DESTROYS that the
election OF II senator should take place who
will represent them and aid in STAYING off

other hand it is quite as urgent that the
state and federal governments should take
steps TO have the bonds loaned for the con
strlction of the road covered by some bona
fide security, so that there will be a GER
tanty of their redemption upon maturity.
If the interest of the government bonds is
allowable to accrue until the bonds shall
have matured, the total amount will be
lost, as the property will doubtless then. as
