III YOU quarrel with woman over
night, you invite the devil to break
fast. Having made u woman your foe,
YOU have poisoned the air you breathe
In common Nature, who has deprived
her of physical power to strike, has be-
slowed mental power to hate; and
hate is more formidable than the heav-
lest blows. These must ~ exhausted
ere long; that nourishes itself from
within, and grows by self-indulgence.
An angry woman, if she be comely, Is
picturesque and alluring. But the
aroused and fixed aversion which
sometimes succeeds thereto is not
pleasant to contemplate Feminine
hatred is great force in the universe;
it has created epochs and destroyed
empires; changed destinies and re-
tarded ages. Civilization has modified
its expression, but not lessened its in
tensity. In the wars of to-day the
enemies in the field may be conquered,
but the enemies at home never can be.
Technically, they do not bear arms !;
and vet the arms they have they lay
not down until they are victorious.

Republican newspapers all over the
country are constantly making sicken-
inc statements about the morality of
the Republican party, and yet when
ever the members of that party get a
chance they never fail to show their
most profound contempt for anything
honest. In the Ohio Legislature the
other day the Republican members
voted in body condemning the
salary steal, and few days afterward
for Edward +. Noyes, for United
states senator, Notwithstanding Noyes
has confessed to having stolen thirteen
thousand dollars from Hamilton
county, while probate judge there.
There are some people who will be sur
prised at this, but i is really the most
natural thing in the world.-lPome-
rows Democrat.

Who would live in Madras? Not a
very charming place of residence, we
fancy, according to recent reports con-
corning snakes. For some years past
the Madras government has paid a
reward for all snakes destroyed. Dur.
ing the month of March, 1873, the zeal
of the populace was aroused, and no
less that 425,057 snakes were killed.
During the whole year more than
/ ,25O, 900 were destroyed in the entire
presidency, and over El5,UOO were pald
out in rewards. Snakes are expensive
To the government, and hereafter the
reward will be restricted to cobras.
There has been a rumor that the
natives were accustomed to breed
cobras on purpose to obtain the reward;
but there really seems to be no end to
the number Of reptiles which infest
the wild uncultivated lands of India.

The AUBURN BANK DEFALCATIoN. The fol-
lowing official statement relating to the Au'
burn Bank defalcation has been prepared for
the public
"Various reports have been circulated
through the columns OF the press, and inquiries
made by the public generally, in regard to
defalcation having been found in the First Ma
tional and Savings Bank in Auburn; also as
duty we owe our former cashier and to those
now connected with the bank, we, the under
signed, directors and trustees of the above in
stitution deem it proper to make true state
ment of the facts as they now exist:
On Sept q, 4871, there was deposit of 500
made in the Savings Bank which was not en-
tered upon the books of the bank. Since that
time at various intervals, up to October, 1873
the cash account has been deficient in various
sums, from $25 to 500. making total deficit
of about $780, As to who has been the guilty
party it has only come to light recently. Mr..
Henry M. Sprague, the acting teller at the
time, confesses to appropriating the SAID 1893 to
his own use, and the other deficits are made up
so that the books Of the bank now stand cor.
rect without any loss. Since October, 1872,
there has been no deficit whatever. Henry M.
Sprague's connection with the bank has ceased.

Business Notes.

Recently George w. True & Co. ground at
their mill at Harpswell, one hundred bushels
of fine family meal with one run of stone in
fifty-six minutes.
Advices from Fort Kent are to the effect
that the lumber business looks dull and un-
promising. Only one party has as yet made
any move towards cutting lumber, Cunliff &
Stevens. The rivers have bee n very dry this
season. Many small parties spoil the whole
thing by the way they manage the cutting of
spruce and making short lumber. Many go on
the long drives down the rivers, the lumber
does not sell, and then they have to come home
and have nothing to live on during the long
summer.
Mr.. I. M Richardson of Maysville has pur-
chased this year for the western market, 22OO
sheep, and is still buying. The last drove he
sent off averaged in price 1922 each. Sheep
are one OF the specialties o: Aroostook.
Recent severe storms in Virginia and the
South West have greatly damaged the ungath-
cred crops and this together with early frosts,
tend to greatly enhance the value of the raw
material. Prices of manufactured tobacco
therefore continues to advance and must be
good deal higher, or manufacturers will lose
money. ttt
Cotton goods are dull, with a downward ten
dency. The destruction of the cotton mill at
Fall River has had but little effect on the trade
generally, which shows that more goods are
produced than required.
The Androscoggin Mill, the Lewiston Mill,
and the Bates Mill, Lewiston, are running
These three mills run full time each day of the
secular week. The wheel of the Androscoggin
pat in several years ago. is being repaired, and
q smaller wheel substituted for it, necessitating
small production for the time being. The
Lewiston mills are producing as largely as
ever. The Continental and Lincoln mills are
still running on half time. Their working
hours are from IL a. m. to 4 ga D. m. four
days in the week-not running Friday or Sat-
urday. 1t is said that the length of time du-
ring which the present arrangements will con-
tinue is not settled, but all the mills are likely
to 60 back to full production at any time. The
Hill mill was not running Saturday, but no or
ders for next week are made public. At near
ly all the mills repairs are in progress The
wooden mills are running as usual. Thus, it
will be seen, that the curtailment in Lewiston
is not gieat, and that orders may be received at
any moment for the mills to go up to the high
est limit of production. The Barker cotton
mill in Auburn is running as usual.
