s,r,x,xo ., ,be s,ickeen gold excite

SPEAKING o! the Sllcheeu BO'u SAS
ment the S. F. Bulletin says;
There is little gold excitement going
on Just now in the Stickeen river re-
gion, British Columbia, which promises
if let alone. TO develop into hrst,eiass
affair. 1t has all the elements oil Inc
other wild cat" excitements which nave
preceded it in that direction, and posses,
ses Just about as little real merit; but IL
provincial newspaper putting can avail
anything. it will eclipse the days Oh the
Frazer River gold fever. British Coium-
bia has been prolific in mining excite
ments since the discoveries OF goia on
the bars of Frazer River in 1895. But
they have almost all had a disastrous
ending. Kootenay, Big Bend and Peace
River are prominent names in the long
list of mining exeitements in that coun-
try, which have allured thousands 10
rum. Cariboo is really the only district,
outside of Frazer Valley, that ever
amounted to anything as goid-mihihe
camp, or that decenty rewarded iaii
percentage OF the adventurous spirits
that flocked TO it, and its day has now
gone by. There have been periodical
gold-mining eyctements in the Stricken
River region-the scene OF the present
one-for the last twelve years, bnt they
have been invariably short-lived, for the
simple reason there was nothing to sus-
| tain them.

THERE is constantly growing impress
ion that rich criminals, when undergoing
their sentences. when by accident they
are convicted, are treated with greater
lenity than the poor men who are in con-
inement. Boss Tweed, for instance,
has elegant apartments prepared for him.
Stokes, and other sick culprits, ale also
receiving many favors. All those things
go far to coufirm the popular notion that
there is one law for the rich and another
for the poor.

THE Lower House OF Congress has just
passed an amendment to the coinage
act of February r. 1878, which makes
the coinage of gold free at all the mints.
The amendment reads as follows: That
no charge shall hereafter be made for the
coinage of gold, and the charge for con
verting silver into trade dollars, for melt
ing, for refining when bullion is below
standard, for toughening when metals
are contained in the bullion which rem
der it unfit for coinage, for separating
the gold or silver when those metals ex-
list together in the bullion, and for the
preparation of bars, shall be fixed from
time to time by the Director of the mint,
with the concurrence of the Secretary of
the Treasury, so as to equal, but not ex-
coed, in their Judgment the average cost
at each mint and assay office, of the ma
terial, labor, wastage and use of machin-
cry employed in each Of the cases aiore-
mentioned.-[S, +, Bulletin.

Poland Camp Meeting.

POLAND CAMP GROUND,
Thursday, Aug. p.
We are cheered by another beautiful morn
ing and are glad that its outgoings are made
to rejoice in our behalf. General health pre-
walls, and all on the ground refreshed by rest
and the morning repast, are now ready for
the toll. pleasure and profit of another days
experience at camp ground. Acting from the
same motives which led the Psalmist to ex-
claim "My voice thou shalt hear in the morn
ing the voice of prayer and praise might
have been heard in all parts of the encamp-
ment. The morning sermon was preached BY
the Rev. Noah Herbert of Oxford, from the
words, che healed them ALL" 1t was the old
fashioned Gospel delivered in the style pecu-
liar to the minister. Many good points were
made, and truths uttered to which both the
christian and sinner may do we'll to take heed.
The prominence of Christ over man as the
great healer, was the chief thought of the SER
mon. The request to devote five minutes to
secret prayer at noon is still observed.
At +. NJ. special meeting is being held
in the Main street Lewiston cottage, the
young people in whose interest it is being held
are greatly enjoyingit. Upward of forty gave
precious testimony to the power of Christ to
prayers have been answered, for the King of
Kings is grazing this service with His pres
ence.
We may here remark that Revs. D. w.
LeLacheur of Lewiston, F. NJ. Pickles of Lis
bon, and Chas. Mann of Auburn, have united
with their tents company hold united services,
which services draw large audiences and are
among the most interesting and successful
held.
A chIdren's meeting Of great profit was
held under the direction of Rev. Mrs. True
+. Adams. Mrs. Adams is a woman Of cul-
ture and christian attainments and has a pc.
cullar faculty of interesting the young.
Rev. True p. Adams of Bowdoinham
preached to very large audience in the af-
ternoon lie announced as his text, LIST Thes.
40. He showed specification to be prom
lnent scripture doctrine, defined the term as
having twotold meaning, setting apart and
cleansing; 1t also implied being filled with all
the fullness of God. He declared this to be
the will of God for these reasons: The law
demands it, the Gospel promises it, the atone
ment provides for it, and God inspired men to
pray for 1t. Here he gave several happy il
Illustrations of the Apostles, who, having been
soundly converted to God needed it and got
it, and thereby have been strengthened in
places once weak, and went forth to do mighty
work for God. If the Apostles under so
great disadvantages did so much for Christ in
one year, with so many advantages what may
not $4,000 ministers and ten millions of MEM
bers do in the same time if they but pray for
and receive this great blessing. This sermon
was well delivered, full of rich thought and
most impressive.
The Rev. A. Hatch of North Auburn
preached most practical sermon in the even
ing setting forth the ability of Christ to save
unto the uttermost. Thus ended day of
great interest and spiritual profit to those who
desire to secure good. Emp.

A Word from Gardiner.

In your paper of the 2Sth under the head of
"Hallowell Local News" find the following
paragraph: "The races at Gardiner the pres
ent week have attracted considerable at,en-
ton, and kicked up tremendous dust along
the thoroughfares to the city Of slabs" We
had supposed the present generation of our
neighbors had had experience enough to
avoid their depreciatory filings at us which
have hitherto so markedly returned upon
their own pates Many years ago, on the es-
Enlistment of our first bank, they sneeringly
enquired what we had to bank on, and an
swered it themselves by contemporary say
ing "saw dust" Since then nearly every
bank in that city has most disastrously gone
under, and where there has been one business
failure here there have been probably fifty
there. But one bank here has ever been in
trouble and that was established by Hal
lowell influence and managed mainly by Hal
lowell men, and came to disastrous end
casting in blight on our citizens. This petty
Jealousy between our towns has been fostered
by our neighbors for sixty years. Our people
have pursued their quiet way unframed and
unmoved by their oft repeated expressions of
spite. There are persons now living who re-
member from days when the laborious eff
forts Of our neighbors to prevent the mail from
passing through our village were frustrated
to their dismay, and their connection with
Purgatory ceased, for which they ought to
feel grateful least worse thing should have
come upon them. CoBBossEE.

Celebration at Fort POpham.

Portland, 30.
The anniversary of the landing of the Eng
lish Colony at Sabine, August 10th 60. s.
was celebrated at Fort Popham, Saturday.
| About 1000 people were present. Hon. b.
c. Bailey of Bath called the assembly to Or
der, and Gov. Dingley was called upon to
preside. He said the day, the anniversary of
which they had assembled to celebrate. was
Maine day, as 1t commemorated the landing
of the first English Colony upon these shores,
before the settlement of the Plymouth Colony
of Massachusetts. AS Maine people, we had
a right to celebrate the event of significant
import in the colonization of the country.
The Governor then introduced DR.. Hough of
New York as the orator, who delivered
carefully prepared and elaborate address, its
chief point being to trace the history of the
origin and progress of the settlement of
Pemaquid, in connection with the settlement
in New York, under what is known as the
Duke of York's Patent. A vote of thanks
was passed to the orator, and a copy of the
address asked for for publication and pre-.
servation in the archives of the Maine His
torical Society. Brief speeches followed by
Hon. j. w. Bradbury, President of the Maine
Historical Society, Hon. Geo. T.. Davis, r.
X. Sewall, Rev. Mr.. Cushman and Hon. C.
J. Gilman. The Doxology was then sung
by the audience, and blessing pronounced
by Rev. Mr.. Cushman. The Bath Band was
present, and the occasion was a complete sue
cess. The Maine Historical Society was we'll
represented.

Twin Mountain House, N. H., so. More
than 1000 people assembled this morning to
hear the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher preach.
Special trains were run over the Boston,
Concord and Montreal r. r. from Lancaster
and the Fabyan house, while hundreds came
by coaches and private teams from the noun
tain hotels and surrounding country. At half
past ten o'clock Mr.. Beecher entered the par
lor, took a seat on the platform and assisted,
as usual, in seating the audience, until the
spacious room was filed to its utmost capaci-
ty. The services were opened by singing the
hymn commencing High as the heavens
are raised above the ground we tread" TAX
ing as his text the 4th and 9th verses of the
18th chapter of Romans, Mr.. Beecher COM
manded the closest attention of his audience
for an hour or more, dwelling at considerable
length upon the subject of christian unity as
against unity of the more outward forms of
religion. Too much thought and attention
has been given to the external matters Of
christian organizations to the detrimept and
neglect of their growth in spiritual unity.
Men are so constituted that it is an impossi-
bility for them to unite in a common religious
belief. 1t is the part of true christianity to
exercise sympathy and love towards all man
kind, no less to the criminal and outcast than
the upright. At the close of the services a
collection was taken for the benefit of poor
widow living in vicinity of Twin Mountain
house, who was left by death of her husband
with mortgaged farm and large family Of
children. The sermon was pronounced one
of Mr.. Beecher's most successful efforts.
