Republican County Convention.

Republicans will notice in this issue the
call for their County Convention, to be
held August 18th.
1t is desirable that there should be full
delegations from the several towns, so that
each section OF the County should be fairly
represented. Thus far, there seems 10 be
little feeling as TO candidates. and no ef-
forts have been made TO secure delegates
pledged to support any nan. This is ss i,
should be, and we are glad that the whole
matter is left where it rightfully belongs,
with the assembled delegates of the Con-
Nention to act as they shall judge best
Neither has the L. ;. Senatorial question
been agitated among our people, and they
viii probably be content TO trust the whole
matter 10 their Representatives, when the
subject shall come before them.
The Republicans of this County are a,
the present time united and harmonious on
all political matters, aud we trust that
nothing will occur to cause DIVISION
There should be, and doubtless there will
be. sufficient interest felt among the best
men Of the party TO attend the approach
ing Convention aud make wise nomina-
tons, and thi. being done, there is no fear
but what the voters of Hancock County
Will rally AZ the polls and triumphantly
elect their candidates.

Some facts not exactly discouraging
are mentioned In our Washington dis
patches. The internal revenue receipts
were larger last month by million OF dol
lars than for the same month last year,
when the panic had not yet fallen upon Us.
Tue debt reduction, too, is over twelve
hundred thousand dollars, as against
$4,000 for the corresponding period.
The latter is 10 some extent fortuitous, but
the increase OF the internal revenue re-
ceipts is tolersbly accurate indication OF
an actual Improvement In business. We
believe that for legitimate operations,
prudeHtly conducted the outlook is eX-
eeejingiy good. Speculation, happily,
does not promise SO well.-[N. Y. Times.

The Excursion Season.

The dwellers in distant localities envy
us our convenient nearness to Mt. Desert.
and our beautiful water routes to Bsr Hsr.
Dor. No short r0ute anywhere can show
such wonderful varsity aud beauty Of
scenery. Our people evidently appreciate
their grand opportunities of healthful
pleasuring, and excursions to Bar Harbor
are becoming more numerous and general.
ly attended.
Mondsy the 27th ult.. the steamer "Lh-
tie Round Top" took in tow the ''Leonora"
carrying over 100 people, bound on trip
to the Harbor. The morning was cloudy,
but the excursionists were In no wise
daunted. They covered the decks of the
"Leonora" prepared for all weathers. The
Ellsworth Cornet Band, under whose
auspices the excursion had been planned,
occupied the steamer whence their music
mellowed by the distance charmed the
happy voyagers.
The little steamer pulled at its load
readily and steadily, without tiring and
without complaining. The passengers on
the vessel were only conscious Of a smooth
gliding motion, without any Of the trem-
bling or throbbing felt on steamboats,. The
shores silently slid past the gaze. withou,
stop or incident until at the Bridge. Here
the good "Leonora" heretofore SO gentle,
shook itself, reared = little, and plunged
into the draw of the bridge, swapping its
huge timbers in a most lordiy manner
She then stuck her anchor into the pier
and refused 10 60 farther, and had to be
coaxed along with handspikes. At last
however when large number of her pas
seogers were on the bridge, she changed
her mind and swept through the draw,
causing q sudden hopping aud jumping
from the bridge TO her decks. The Little
Round Top" took her in charge again, and
she softened down as gentle as ever. and
followed on quietly to the end.
Bar Harbor was reached at about one
O'Clock, when there was a general dis
persion TO hotels and picnics. After din
ner the Cornet Band drew a crowd In
front Of the Harbor House and Rodck
House. where they sent out upon the air
their sweetest strains. Others wandered
on In smaller parties to enjoy the beauties
Of the ocean and the mountains. in greater
quiet. Al six o'clock the whistle sounded.
and there was general hurrylng from all
quarters for the return. The excursion
reached Ellsworth at q late hour, but all
happy, even ii tired. One whole day had
been spent on the delightful waters and
shores Of Mt. Desert. and the time had
been well spent. The Band And officers OF
the Boat and Leonora, used every effort TO
make the excursion ENJOYABLE.

Another Excursion.

1t was the good fortune Of the Assistant
Editor" 10 participate in Q delicious ex-
cursion TO Bar Harbor, given by Mr..
Howell OF Bangor, TO some Of his and Mrs.
Howelrs Ellsworth friends, on las, Friday.
Tne new and swift steamer Howell,
cane round nom Bangor aud took on
board about thirty ladies and gentlemen
from this city. The day was perfect, the
party was delightful, and the little How
ell' fairly danced and skipped over the
waters. The trip was made round outside
the Island, giving the party magnificent
views Of the whole range OF mountains
The bounding motion Of the steamer WAS
fairly exhiliarating, and stimulated witty
talk and joyous laughter, which sparkled
and bubbled like the spray.
A whal. had evidently heard OF the
proposed trip, and cane up near at hand
OF Egg Rock" TO show himself. He
saluted with his sonorous "blowr and
went down TO the ''vasty deeps.-
Before Bar Harbor WAS reached. the
lunch baskets were opened and the fAmish-
ed voyager had delectable visions OF Els.
worth cookery. Pigeons and chickens
were done 70 the incest brown. The
whitesi Of bread and golden butter, and
all varieties Of picnic fare were laid out ia
lavish rrofusion. While the feast WAS ia
progress the Steamer came near the Har.
Dor, but 10 allow time for the eating, she
started of again into Frenchman's Bay,
to keep up chassez among the Porcupines
until all were full.
The clouds at this time had settled down
in the west black and heavy, darkening
land and sea. The mountains lowered
upon US almost iercely, and the party
were glad to once more step on the drm
earth. "Serenus" took Us in charge nj the
Rodick House, and soon all were nicely
qusrtered for the night, and slept the
sleep Of the just. Not SO long as was
desirable however, Tor terribly early the
next morning, some Of those horrible
early risers" went the rounds ''murder-
ing sleep" and turning every Que out Of
bed. Execrations were deep, but useless.
AZ zen U SBOCh tnc whistle SOUNDED anu
soon with all Oh board, the Howell was
Kicking the waters on her way 10 Ellis
worth by way Of the bridge. The party
were more jolly even than the day before.
1t was still new scenery, and the sparkle
Of talk was by no means djmmed. After
getting into the still waters Of Ellsw orth
Bay, the jewellers quieted down. aud Rev.
DIR. Tenney WAS asked to express the
warm gratitude OF the party to Mr.. Howell
for this splendid trip. DR. Tenney made
one Of his hsppiest little speeches. and
very feelingly expressed the sentiments Of
the excnrsionists. Mr.. Howell responded
very gracefully and modestly. He desired
that his partner Capt. Hugh Ross, should
have the credit OF suggesting the excur-
sion. Three cheers were given for Capt.
Ross. Other pleasant remarks were make
expressive Of the regard felt for Mr.. aud
Ma. Howell.
All too soon the boat reached the wharf
and the excursion Vas over, but the
memory Of it will linger long.

The Canadiaa Lu0her0en.

During the past week there has been In
session At Ottawa a convention of the lead
ing lumber dealers Of the Dominion. Bv
these gentlemen. who control one of the
most important aud extensive interests In
the world, an important proposition has
been made to the lumber dealers OF the
United States. This is no more nor less
than an Invitation TO unite with them Ia q
movement to bring the supply Of timber
and lumber into accord with the demand,
and to check tts waste OF valuable raw
material now going % by reason Of ex-
cessive production, by shutting down the
mills and curtailing operations in the woods
70 such an extent that the production Of the
present season and coming winter shall
be reduced one-hslf.
Could this be done. tf Wopld certainly
have the effect to retrieve the psesent de-
pressed state Of the markets. both in the
United States and Quebee. And the meas
ure seems to be practicable, Just SO far
as checking the waste Of lumber is con-
cerned. But the laws Of the relation of
supply TO demand are iuhexible and un-
varying. and any concerted attempt to
regulate trade Of the magnitude of this.
and to enhance prices by cutting down
supply. would be an effort which . politico-
economist could ksrdiy regard with
gravity. However, the CanRaiaq lumber
men have signed an agreement to shut
down their mills and reduce tie usual
production BY 0ne-half, and the secretary
