A MANIAC WITH HIsToRY.-There is in the
Insane Hospital, now lying at the point OF
death, patient named Samuel Hollinsworth
Howard aged about so, who has spent sngu-
lar life in this world. He was evidently a Cir
Gus performer when young man, and has often
amused the patients and attendants by his
vaulting and other feats once practiced IN the
ring; he was a soldier in the Mexican war; but
disgraced himself and run away, so that he
could never receive pension; he served a term
in the State Prison, and was prisoner in the
Kennebee Jai for nine years, from which place
he was removed to the Insane Hospital in lS47
twenty-seven years ago,-where has since pass
ed his existence and had home. Stealing has
always been his b.setting weakness or domi-
napt characteristic. He has been State pa
tent within the walls of the hospital for al
most a third of century; he has no known
relative or friend in the world. His insanity
has been of mild form. As above stated, he
is now lying at the point of death, and will
soon close long life that seems to most minds
infinitely worse than death.-Kenaebec JON.

THE New York World was gratified be-
cause it and its contemporaries could see in
the Indiana ''fexible" currency resolution
that the Democratic ship was directed to-
ward shard money harbor." The plank,
however, which declared for the payment of
the 500 bonds in greenbacks was pronounced
to be a Every dead horse on the platform
rather than a part of it. During the past
week two of the leading Democratic con-
gressional districts in Ohio have held their
conventions, and from them we have the first
notes of the campaign in that state. One of
these conventions-in q district having in
1872 Democratic majority of 8, 7O0, adopted
the following resolutions:
Thai the present amount of the circulating
medium of the United Seates is entirely insult,
ficlent to meet the wants of the business and
Industrial interests OF the country; that it should
be Increased to a sum more commensurate with
our necessities, and should be all in legal tend
ers instead of part legal tenders and part
national bank circulation; tia it is a suicidal
policy TO call in legal tender notes, held by the
people without interest, in order to substitute
for Thorn gold bearing interest bonds, and that
the eXertions of the administration to that end
deserve our Sc verest censure.
That while we are burdened with debt of
twenty-five hundred million dollars, carving
with it an immense interest, and accompanied
with great annual expenses in other respects, it
is not practicable to return to specie payments,
and that an attempt to do SO would entail I'M
speakable financial ruin.
The convention in the district, represented
by Mr. Southland, Democrat, who had ma
jority of over 400 in 1872, in addition to
currency expansion resolution, the following
financial declarations were made:
That we are in favor of the redemption of the
$40 bonds in greenbacks, according to the law
under which they were issued.
We are in favor of the repeal of the law of
March, 1869, which assumed to construe the law
SO as to make such bonds payable exclusively in
gold.
In few days the State Convention meets.
when we shall see whether Senator Thurman.

greenback apostle, is the exponent of the
Ohio Democracy on the great question of the
day. In the meantime the Democratic organs
engaged in the Interpretation business will
have enough to do, for hot weather, TO Grove
that the above resolutions point to "bard
money harbor."

VISIT TO MARTHA's GROVE CAMP GROUND
Wednesday party of about fifty visited the
Martha's Grove Camp Ground, in Fryeburg,
rather in anticipation of the camp meeting in
August. After spending the day at the place,
which is one of great beauty, a meeting was or-
gained, with Rev. Mr.. Luce as chairman, and
the following resolutions prepared BY Rev. Mr.
Randall were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, by the favor Of e. 7. Nutter, ESQ,

and members of the committee, we have en-

ReSotUed, That we tender our silcere thanks
to Brother Nutter and his associates for their
kind thoughtfulness in the matter. and the
efforts they have put forth to secure us this de-
lghtful gathering; and shall ever pray for their
prosperity and happiness.
ResoIUed, That for beauty of situation

Resol0ed, That when we adjourn it shall be

Several families, in cottages, are spending
their vacations on the ground, and contracts
have been made for some six or eight more
buildings to be erected in season for the camp

The Portland Sailor Story.

To the Edater Of the Press:
The Sailors Magazine re-publshes from the
reliable N. Y Sun the following:
A sailor from Portland Me-, employed on
American vessels for more than thirty years.
had contributed annually something toward
supporting hospital for sailors at Portland
the sum aggregating not less than $1,000. On
his last voyage he shipped for home in Dan
ish vessel, but before reaching his destination
was laid up with inflammatory rheumatism.
On applying for admission to the hospital he
had helped to support for so many years he
was told that having been taken sick OF a
foreign vessel he could not be admitted. The
sailor is now homeless, and very likely to die
from the want of proper care SO much for Led
tape
This tale reminds us of that standing story of
the rual newspaper, wherein good wife is
represented, when ruin is about to befall the
household, as bringing forth in her apron

shllings she has piIfered from her old mans
pockets and boarded. The writer of the story

they will love to think of it yet again. The
