Current Notes.

The Springfield Republican has done the
temperance cause in that city good service by
publishing the places where liquor is sold
with tue names Of the persons to whom the
buildings belong. A number of excellent
gentlemen are unduly excited in conse-
quenee. sE
Rev. Mr.. Field of Bangor. who has been
reported to have denounced the women's
movement in the West against liquor selling,
really takes ground in favor of it. He re-
marked that it might fail in cities, but if it
had no other result, it would teach women
that there is something better than to think
how many founces could be made upon
dress.
The New York World is at present crit
icising the report of the Congressional ku-
Klux Committee. 1t is satisfaction 10
notice that even the World is making progress.
1t. however, thinks that Gen. Grant pulled out
the "wrong tooth" when he exterminated
Ku Kluxism. He should have pulled out the
carpet Dagger, thinks the World.
The Kennebec Journal remarks that the
mistake of the Republicans of the Mass
achusetts Legislature in not settling the
question of candidacy for U. S. Senator by
caucus, is apparent in the vote of Tuesday
We fail to see any evil results yet. On the
other hand, the balloting without caucus
candidate promises to result in good.
The Lewiston Journal in noticing the fact
that no appropriation was made for carrying
on the work of the State statistician, says
| that "should this omission necessitate the
suspension of this valuable annual collection
of manufacturing and industrial statistics, as
is feared, it will be cause of regret. Such &
collection of facts bearing on our industrial
progress, have most beneficial influence il
calling attention to our resources and inviting
their development" We have heard it re

DIR. Schenck,s Standard Remedies

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are SCHENCK's PULMONIC SYRUP. SCHENCKS SEA-
WEED TONIC, and SCHENCKS MANDRAKE PILLS,
and if taken before the lungs destroyed speedy
cure is effected
To these three medicines DIR. j. II. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The PulmOnic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs nature throws it off by easy expectora
tion for when the phlegm matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal
To enable the Pumonic Syrup to do this, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea-weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
Schencks Mandrake Pills act the liver, removing
all Instructions relax the gall bladder the bile starts
freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schencks Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkali of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents sourng 1t assists
the digestion, by toning up the stomach healthy
condition, that the food and Pulmonic Syrup will
make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the patti
emit will surely get well If is taken to prevent
fresh cold.

SODA WATER
Absolutely Pure CarbOnic
Acid or Soda Water.

The immense increase in the use of Soda Water
as popular beverage, justly entities its manufact
ure to place among the first brewing interests of
the country and has called the attention of invent
ors and manufacturers to the Importance of produc-
ing machinery for its manufacture and transporta-
ton that combines at the same time,
Purity. Lightness and Strength.
At its first introduction a beverage, Soda Water
Was made and kept in machines and fountains made
of copper iron and variously lined to protect the
Water from metallic contamination. Experience
soon proved that the use of copper not desirable
as the greatest care in the character of the lining
would not always be effective in preventing the Wa
ter from and that the weight of iron
Experiments were then made with steel as that met
AL possessed none of the poisonous qualities of copper
and combined llghtness with great strength. After
many attempts the firm of John Matthews of New
York City about three years ago. succeeded in max
ing Eounsain of sheet steel lined with
Pnre sheet Tin, which they have since used ex-
clu lively in their extensive business with unexpect-
ed success and which they have this year offered to
Soda Water manufacturers for the first time, believ-
ing that its use will entirely do away with the faults
heretofore found with other metals, and will ensure
be verage absolutely free from all injurious metallic
impurities. These Fountains are double.
The interior fountain is made of pure lin in sheets
incnsed in exterior shell of Fine Cast Sheet Steel
of great strength and elasticity The cocks also are
made of gun metal and bored and lined with
pure Banca Tin throughout their entire length, and
the water in its exit from the fountain in con-
tact with no injurious metal or substance Whatever
The Steel Fountain is double the strength of those
made of any other metal and is subjected in the pro-
cess OF manufacture to test pressure of five hun
dred pounds to the square inch The fountain weighs
only forty-six pounds, which is only one-half the
weight of copper, and only quarter the weight of
iron which gives then an immense superiority In the
cost of transportation.
The subscribers having completed arrangements
for the sole of these fountains in the CITY of Port
land and vicinity, take great pleasure in Offering to
the public n superior quality of Carbon ic
Acid or Mineral Water, in Fountains that they
can guarantee absolutely and permanently pure be-
eylng that their endeavOrs to mprsve and elevate the
character OF Aerated Waters will meet with appro-
baton and support

Phil Sheridan says he would be much bet

THE abstract of the annual report of the
Directors of the Maine Central Railroad Com
pany, published elsewhere, shows that the
road is in most prosperous condition and
making steady progress toward that time
when it will be able to declare dividend on
Its stock. 1t has been unfortunate in its
losses the past four years, but all these have
resulted in permanent improvements, partc-
ularly In the construction of bridges. 1t has
some burdens in the direction of leased roads,
but there is evidence that its affairs are man
aged with economy and that the directors are
determined to make it paying road to the
stockholders-an event that very few thought
possible a few years since. Aside from the
fact that the prosperity of the Maine Cen
trail is 20 a certain extent sure indication of
the prosperous condition of the industries of
the State along its line, we most sincerely
congratulate it on the success of the past
year and hope that its expectations for the
future viii be realized.

the show business. Yesterday we were prom.

OF the showmen, only to witness the tamest

may understand how to run a railroad, but it

GRANDMOTHER.


Just as the sun rose blushing red f
Over the bill-tops, somebody said,
In broken accents of mourning woe,
Sobbing aloud, but sobbing low:
Grandmother is dead!'
When the sorrowful murmur broke.
Out from our beautiful dreams we woke,
Feeling sense of terrible loss;
"She was gold, refined from its dross,-
Somebody spoke.
just as she sometimes sat in her chair,
Lifting her heart in silent prayer,
Looked she; only purple mist
Her dropping lids and thin lips kissed,
And rested there.
Only yesterday, how she planned
Labors of love for her aged hand;
"Whenever my useful days are Ger,
Let me go to the heavenly shore,"J s.} 81.
Was her demand. .r. q. r.
Dear old grandmother! How her prayer
Quickened the ear of Eternal care!
And, with only warning pain,
His angel gathered her soul again
To those regions fair.
Blessed is it for her to sleep;
Can it be wrong for us to weep?-
We who loved her SO well, and knew
All the worth of her loving, too.
And her wisdom deep.
She was aged, and knew the way
Youthful feet were inclined to stray:
The young are giddy, and they must learn
OF hard experience ere they turn
She would gently say.
Happy grandmother! Would that we
Might share with you the mystery ..
OF that Beyond, where thought of sin
Never, oh! never can enter in -a...
Through eternity.
