German Ocean OnCe Dry
Land.

The German Ocean, or North Sea,
like the English Channe. was once an
inland plain or valley raised far above
the sea-level. The sea has but recently
invaded this depressed plain, submerg-
ed its forests, and superseded its river
courses. The buried trees of Its sunk
forests are standing rooted in their own
vegetable soil, although beneath the
waves. Cromer Forest, which dips in
to the waters from the coast of Norfolk,

An Extraordin nary story.

a very strange story was told to me
the other day, says London. corre-
spondent Of the Graphic. In a town
not far from London there lived a
young lady who was handsome, toler-
ably wealthy, and more than usually
well educated. Her father was an in.
vailed; her mother wasan insipd, cold,
and heartless woman. Two years ago
physician of London was called TO at
tend the father; in this way the young
lady saw him. He paid no attention to
her-his mind was engrossed with his
professional duties. A few weeks ago
this doctor, after paying visit to his
patient, was somewhat surprised by be-
ing asked by the young lady to give her
the favor of private interview. She
took him into drawing-room and let
him to the further end OF the apart
ment. "Doctor," she said, "I sup
pose that gentle men of your profession
are accustomed to receive strange conf
dences. have a confession to make to
yOu." He supposed that the impend-
ing confession had something to do with
the state of her own health or with that
of her father, and he begged her to
proceed. "You will, however, be
scarcely prepared for what am about
to say" she continued. "But ! wish
you to hear it. 1t is now just two years
since first saw you. You had scarce
ly ever exchanged a word with me, but
l have learned much about you. l am
not mistaken In believing that You are
unmarried?"

"And your affections are not en-
gaged?"
"You scarcely have the right to ask
that" said he.

spoken; and now | speak. / say love
you with all my heaIt; you are ncces-
sary for me; will you marry me?"
The doctor, who, although not very
old man, was twice the age of the
young lady, recovering little from his
surprise, tried to turn the matter of as
a joke; but the young lady was very
serious.

MARX TWAIN ON INSURANCE.

At Hartford, Conn, on the 14th of Oct, a
banquet was given in honor Of Cornelius Wal
ford, the great insurance historian and cham
piou, Who visited that city during his tour in
this country. Speeches were made by sew
eral distinguished men, and among the num-
Der was "Mark Twain" We give an extract
of his brief but keenly worded speech. Mr..
Clemens said: .'Gentlemen I am glad in
deed to assist in welcoming the distinguished
guest of this occasion to q city whose fame
a. IN insurance center has extended to all
iands and given US the name of being quad
ripple band of brothers, working sweetly hand
in hand, the Colts arms company making the
destruction of our race easy and convenient,
our life insurance citizens paying for the
victims when they pass away, Mr.. PATTERSON
President of the Travellers Life and Accident
Insurance Co., perpetuating their memory
with his stately monuments, and our fire insur-
sues companies taking care Of them hereafter"
He concluded after speaking of the utility
and excellence of accident insurance, and
particularly that of the Hartford Accident
Co., of which he is a director, by saying, 81
will say in conclusion that my share of the
welcome to our guest is none the less hearty
because talk so much nonsense and know
shss can cay the same for the rest Of the
speakers"

SPEAKER BLAINE'S LETTER.

The letter of Speaker Blaine in another
column, will be read with interest by all
good republicans. We need not call at
tention to its various points that are so
we'll and so clearly made. 1t is not Mr..
Blaine's habit to dodge responsibility on
public questions, and even those who may
differ from him will approve the frank and
manly tone with which he defines his po-
sition. We can from personal observation
corroborate all he says in regard to the
position Of federal office-holders in this Sec
ton. There has been no dragooning and
no pressure in the Kennebec valley on this
question, and no man has right to say
that the Senators and Representatives
elected from this district do aught else
than fully represent their constituents.

requires that all petitions must be filed in that
Court on or before Dec. 23d, 1874, or other
wise they will be barred. The Rules of the

who died at his residence near Auburn on
Sunday, was about 90 years old He was a
Representative in Congress in lSl5-'lG near
ly sixty years ago. In 1928 he was elected
Lieutenant Governor on the same ticket with
Martin Van Buren, for Governor, and upon
the latter's appointment as Secretary of State
by President Jackson became Governor,
March IL, 1929. In 1880 he was elected Gov.
ernor over Francis Granger by majority of
5000, and served as such for the ensuing two
years. Since the expiration of his official
term he has lived in retirement at his home
on Oswosco lake. He was gentleman Of
the old school, of indexible honor, and Of
courteous manner. He belonged to politi-
cal era long past, but his death will doubtless
evoke many interesting "reminiscences of the
times in which he played a conspicuous part.
