Coon ADvIcE.-The Tribune gives the fol-
lowing excellent advice to people who will have
money to spend next winter
There is class Of rational and cultured men
and women whom it may be worth while to
remind just now that the saving of money is
not sometimes the best humanity or economy.
We fail to see the wisdom of discharging
workmen or servants whose wages would
amount to hundreds during the winter
months, and before the winter is over
subscribing thousands to beneficial societies or
ourselves suddenly the comforts and luxuries
upon the manufacture of which the majority
OF city operatives depend for their daily bread.
These remarks, of course, only apply to the
wealthy class; but there are none of US who
surplus funds could be expended in wages
rather than aims.

Act on the Defensive.

Persons who are subject to the influences of bad
air and unwholesome water to constant exposure out
of doors and sudden changes of weather. should act
on the defensive by imparting to their constitutions
the power of resisting such influences The fortifying
effects upon the system of Hostetters Stomach Btters
are simply amazing. Thousands who use them as a
preventive of malaria enjoy alb slute immunity
from its attacks although dwelling in regions where
that scourge is most prevalent. Artisans and labor
ers whose occupations keep them in the open air find
the Bitters complete safeguard against the effects
of exposure Travellers testify that they counterfeit
the influence of torrid heat intense cold and MAS
matte air. Free from every Objectionable feature,
pure, understanding, containing only vegetable in
gradients, an agreeable stimulant, wholesome tonic
and corrective, and sovereign protective, it is not
surprising that the Bitters should be the most pop
ular of American remedies.

AKRo-STEAM PowER-An interesting exhi-
bition was given in the harbor yesterday after.
noon OF novel mode of propelling boat by
air. The boat was built with fat bottom iu.
Ginning upwards from about midship toward the
stern, fanges being placed at the sides to give
proper direction to the air, which is forced by
machinery from two orfces in the bottom.
The movement of the air upward toward the
stern acts as sort of wedge between the bot
tom of the boat aud the water, and thus furn-
ishes propulsive force. This new application Of
power is the invention of DR.. Lorenzo Chase of
this city, and is designed for use on canal boats
to take the place of horse power. Its advan-
tage over screws or paddles lies in the fact
that it cannot become entangled with eel
grass, sunken tow ropes and other matter at
the bottom of the canal, nor will it create
disturbance in the water to wash away the
banks. 1t is claimed, too, that it is much more
economical. The desired speed for canal
boat is three miles per hour. The boat yester-
Cay made easily rate of more than four miles
per hour. 1t is really a curiosity and seems
we'll adapted to its purposes.

NEXT Wednesday the General Convention
of the Protestant Episcopal Church will meet
in New York, and, for many reasons is looked
to with anxious interest by the friends of that
church, for like most other religious denomi-
nations, it is not exempt from ''irrepressible
conflicts" which threaten its peace and unity.
The question which is likely to agitate the
convention is the widening difference between
high and low churchism. The Ritualists, on
the one hand, observe ceremonies SO "high'
that COMMUNICATE of the Roman Catholic
church could almost sanction, while the
services of the slow" are so little different
from the Cougr9 5ationalists that member
of that church could find very little to which
to object! 1t is said that seven of the forty
one dioceses represented will send strong re-
solutions against Ritualistic practices

THE little knot of politicians in New York
who have for two years borne the name of
Liberal Republicans, was undoubtedly dis
banded at the recent convention in Albany.
To be sure no such announcement was
made by Gen. John Cochrane, but it was so
thoroughly done in effect that that great
leader cannot sound trump which will re-
call it from the past. The better portion of
them will vote for Gen. Dix while the bal
ance will find their way into the Democratic

The Association has laid out about $4,000;
its liabilities are near $4,000. There is due
from lots sold about $4,000; estimated value
of lots unsold, $4,000. The Heaviest portion
OF the expenses of fitting up the grounds have
now been made, and comparatively small fur

WrscAssEr & MoosEHEAD LARE RAILROAD.
The directors of the Wiscasset & Moosehead
Lake railroad company have made their first
annual report. They state that $4,000 have
been subscribed to the road, by the following
towns: First came St Adams with $4,000;
Wiscasset followed, making its subscriptions,
with the individual subscriptions, $4,000.
Then came Hartland, $26,0OO and Canaan,
1000: Whitfield, after several meetings,
voted $25, 900; and more recently Cambridge
has voted its quota-S10,00O. The amount
voted is too small to warrant the commence
ment of the construction of the road, and not
sufficient to induce foreign capitalists to unde.-
take the work. The best offer from foreign
capitalists is, that if the towns and individuals
along the line will subscribe 5000 per mile, or
near that amount, they will furnish the balance
required, and build and equip the road. While
the directors say that the prospect for the build
ing of the road is not as good as could be de-
sired, they still advise efforts to secure the re-
quired amount, and believe that they will even
tually succeed.
