The Shining Interest.

Mr.. Editor: On cruise recently along the
coast of Maine in the Steamer City of Richmond
(by the way one of the most thoroughly enjoya-
BILE trips conceivable, among the innumerable
islands that gem our shore from Portland to
Machias) the evidences of revived prosperity in
the ship-bulding interest was very manifest.
There was never time, when larger amount
Of tonnage was on the stocks in this State than
now. And it is no mere spasm of the hour. Inc
indications are of increasing activity Tor years
to come This turn in the tide is one OF sighai
proroise to the future of Maine, whose general
nrosperity is dependent upon the sea. We have
lust passed through period of extreme de-
nression, and the wonder is that the state has
held her own in the census tables. Many of
our most valuable business men and artizans
have been driven West, with their energy, cap
ital and skill. We have been taught with
mournful emphasis, WESTWARD the star Of
Empire takes its way" The star that goes
west returns. Henceforth capital and skill are
to be attracted to and not away from us.
This city is deeply interested in the change.
1t is prophetic of increased business, and en-
larged growth.
The increase of shipping suggests the vast in.
crease of seamen who navigate it, The best of
them will be supplied from our own ocean from
tier. And thoughtful men, who look forward
and regard character the basis of prosperity
feel the Importance of fore laying wisely for the
future with its enlarged promise and respon-
sibillty. The character of the men who sail on
ships is more important then the ships. Intel
ligence and integrity are ,e grand wants of the
times, at sea no less than ON the shore. A lack
of both have been strkingly apparent in the
fearful disasters of recent date. The intellectu
al and moral improvement of seamen is worthy
the most studous attention of our business men
who provide literally for the culture of the peo-
| pie at home. Can measure of this culture be
| extended to the sea? Certainly! And as one
means, the libraries of choice books the friends
of seamen are putting aboard Jour vessels at this
port are of great value. Other methods might
be named, but this is most direct and easily APP
pretended. Constant access to good reading
will, in the run of years, make deep impress
sion on tie mind and character of our seafaring
men. Marked benefit has already accrued. The
call for libraries is increasing and the feeling
is strong in many minds that no vessel is fit
for sea till supplied with good, wholesome me n
tai food for the crew. 1t recognizes manhood
and appeals to it. On the eve of decade of
unexampled activity in navigation it is well to
cali attention to this object, and solicit for it
the practical sympathy of the liberal. Several
hundred dollars are needed now. And Mr..
Southworth, Seamen's Chaplain of this port, is
waiting for this aid. SO libaries have already
been sent out, and 20 more are wanting means
to complete them.

The fire Saturday was the most destructive
that has visited this city since the memorable
confagration Of July 1866. The loss of five
lives is the saddest feature, though the loss
of property and the arrangement of business
is very serious. The estimated loss, as found
elsewhere, has been made up by parties of
experience and with great care, and is put at
100000. The rough es Inmates of other par
ties put the loss somewhat higher, but none
exceed 100000.
1t is usual to deduce lessons from such Sc.
rious confagrations; but if the lessons of the
past, or the smallest and most obvious part
of them had been needed, the fire of Satur-
day would never have occurred There can
be no doubt but what the fire had its origin
in fire from pipe; yet the fact of the danger
of smoking in such places, is enforced a hun
dred times year by some of the most dsas-
trous of fires. 1t is, consequently, useless to
dwell upon the wantonness of such practice
here. The five lives that have been lost, the
hulks of three steamers and the smouldering
ruins of valuable wharves and storehouses.
enforce the lesson of the criminality of such
PracblceS. DILL men VIII continue TO SuOke
in houses crowded with combustible material
and disastrous fires will continue.
1t will be admitted that the fire of Satur-
day demonstrated the need of a boat fire en-
CINE for the harbor. A steamer of this char
acter could not only be most efficient in cases
of fire ON vessels and wharves, but could be
made available to Commercial street. So
much Of the prosperity and business of the
cify are in its shipping interests that this sug
gestion is worthy of immediate attention.
1t is fortunate for the city that the losses
by the fire fall upon corporations and men of
wealth and enterprise, who are not to be
dauDted by the loss Of ships, buildings and
wharves that can be replaced. Their loss
will occasion only temporary inconvenience,
but viii not effect the commercial interests of
the city, which were never more promising
than Today. We understand that the
wharves will be rebuilt at once in more sub
stantial manner, and that the buildings will
he replaced by much better structures.

THE PAIN-KILLER manufactured by PERRY
DAVIS s. SON has won for itself reputation un-
surpassed in medicinal preparations. The uniper-
salty Of the demand FIR the Pain Killer is a novel,
interesting, and surprising feature in the history Of
this medicine. The Pain-Kil is now regularly sold
in large and steady increasing quantities, not only
to general agents in every State and Territory Of the
Union, and every Province in British America out
to Baenos Ayers, Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Chill, amp
other South American States, to the Sandwich
Islands, to Cuba and other West India Islands;
England and Continental Europe; to Mozambique,
Madagascar, Zanzibar, and other African lands; to
Australia, and Calcutta, Rangoon ant other places
in India. ! has also been sent to China, and we
doubt if there is any foreign port or any in
land city in Area ASIA which is frequented by
Americ n and European missionaries, travellers or
traders, into which the Pain-Killer has not been
introduced.
The ertent gifts usefulness is another great feat
ure of tits remarkable medicine. 1t is not only the
best thing ever known. everybody will confess, for
bruises cuts, burns, &C., but for dysentery or chol-
era, any sort of bowel complaint it is remedy
surpassed for efficiency and rapdity of action. In
