CHARLES A. BoUTELLE is again seated
firmly in the editorial chair of the Wing, and
is directing the destinies of that journal with
his pristine vigor and efficiency. 1t is sub
ject for congratulation for Bangor and for the
State that the leading newspaper of the east
is to remain in the hands of gentleman of
so high personal character and journalist
Of so large capacity and with so high an ap-
probation of the dignity and responsibility of
his profession as Capt. Boutelle. 1t is good
thing for the Republican party, too, that the
Wing IS sure to be faithful without SUBJ
serviency, and will always represent the best
side of things within the party-wll fully
and strongly maintain the only true ground
in politics, that the road to purity and reform
is inside and not outside that party.

ENGLAND for years has been famous for
the high character of her seamen OF all
grades, and from the fostering care that the
government and people Of that nation give to
this source of wealth and greatness, it is EVIL
dent that Britannia yet proposes to rule the
wave. AS an evidence of this, is the fact
that sixteen large training ships are sup
ported for the merchant service for home
less and destitute boys and as a means OF
discipline for boys of vicious tendencies.
These school ships are supported in part
by the government and partly by voluntary
subscriptions.

A "REMINISCENCES of the golden age comes
from Brunswick in the shape of bill bear
ing the date of 1907, against prominent cit
izen of that town, who must have been adj
dicted to mighty potations in his day.. The
yellow paper is strewn thickly with charges
for gallons of rum and quarts of brandy,
among which, like specks Of gold in the un-
productive quartz of wildcat mine, are oc-
casionally to be seen debts for a quarter of a
pound of tea or a pint of molasses. The
month of September of that year appears to
have been very dry month, as witness these
items: 7th, ct. rum; 9th, pit brandy;
11th, l gall. rum; 18th, pit. brandy; 18th,
l quarter pound tea; 18th, 2 OTIS. rum; 18th,

rum; 25th, 2 OTIS. brandy; Goth, pair panta-
looms, and gall. rum-the last answering
for waistcoat, probably. In the good old
days this was called grocery bill. Truly the
manners of men change with the times. If
the gentleman in whose face this bill was
thrust by some dirty-faced boy sixty-seven
years ago was a fair sample of Brunswick
men the dealer in wet groceries must have
reaped rich harvest in the course of few
months. Possibly with the proceeds he
built one of those fine old houses which line
Federal street of the college town.

ONE of the delegates to the National
Prison Reform Congress in session at st. Louis
struck the right key when he said that the
true work of the Congress should be to estab-
lish ''iormatories," and then there would be
but little need ofreformatories. The care of
the little ones is the initial point of reform,
he thought, and he strongly advocated the
establishment of schools for educating home
less and school-less boys. People like to give
for such purpose, while they don't under
stand nor sympathize with all the plans for
prison reform. These suggestions were re-
ceived very favorably, and one delegate re-
marked that though he believed in making
prisons reformatory, he could mol au'oo''o

THE overthrow of the De Broglie ministry
savors OF poetical justice. 1t came into pow
er about year ago, through the efforts of
coalition of the extreme right with the left
centre, and it goes out of power through a
vote Of want of confidence carried by the
same coalition. The adherents of the pre-
Lenders, Bonaparte and Bourbon, supported
Tue septennate as temporary expedient, a

nave oeeh honest in his desire to sustain it, and
py MS perslstency provoked the revolt of the
monarchists. Advantage was taken Of the

Tom CoRwIN's WIT.-When the abolition
excitement was at its height Corwin was invited
to address public meeting at Covington, op-
posite to Cincinnati, and it was apprehended
that the ultra slavery men might interrupt
him, SO he determined to propitiate them by
an anecdote:

to be. When | was quite young man went

sights of the place. / must go to a quadroon
