TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT IN BANGoR.-A
spicy time was had at ladies' temperance
meeting in Bangor on Wednesday. The ladies,
after some time spent in prayer. proposed to
complete arrangements for beginning work on
the saloons, but some clergymen who were
present endeavoIed to take charge of the meet
ing and wished the devotional exercises to con-
unue. The ladies resisted, and one plain
spoken sister told the clergymen that some men
were as meddlesome as women are reported to
be. She declared that the women mean to shut
up every rum-hole in Bangor The ladies then
voted to hold business meeting the next day.
excluding all men. Their intention is to de-
mand of the City Government the closing of all
places where liquor is sold, giving members of
that body to understand that ofice-holding will
be warm work if the demand is not complied
with After the meeting one lady visited a
saloon and gave the keeper lecture on the
evil of his traffic.

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.-Mss Jennie John
son, of New Orleans, who had been pupil at
the Augusta Female Seminary, had known and
loved young merchant of the Crescent City,
named Wilcox, before she went there. Wilcox
loved the maiden fair. By preconcerted action
he appeared in Staunton last August at the
American Hotel, and by plying the cousin
dodge on the unsuspecting academy principal,
he was permitted several unobstructed inter
views with bis lady love. He finally got
license, and presenting the same to the Metho-
dist parsonage, was duly married, he starting
Immediately for New Orleans, and she for the
academy. The little wife kept the secret
bravely till week since, when she impaired
it under injunction of the strictest sort about
non-revealment Of course everybody in Staun-
ton knew all about it in half an hour after
wards Pater tdnailids being summoned took
the matter philosophically, and carried his
daughter to New Orleans He remarked that
he should endeavor to make the most of il, and
do all in his power to contribute to the pros
perity and happiness of the strangely welded
pair. The Valley Virgnian remarks thereun-

STRANGE PRoCEDURE.-A gentleman from
Belfast says that the steamer Katahdin on the
way to Boston recently got aground at her
wharf in that city. He told the passengers
that it would be au hour before the boat woul
ge. off; thereupon large number went ashore
to take a stroll about town. The boat got
afoat before an hour, when, without giving a
signal, the captain prepared to leave. A large
number got aboard at the risk of being drowned
and others were left behind. The attention of
the officer was called to the fact, but he only ex-
pressed the opinion that they had no business
ashore and he shouldn't wait for them, There
may be another side to the affair."

Some Questions.


Even the Congressional Globe is useful,
surprising as it may seem. The last case
where it has been made available is in con
nection with the Sanborn scandal for the pur-
pose of ascertaining who is responsible for
that bit of mischievous legislation. We have
before stated that it came from the Senate
where its sponsor was Mr.. Sawyer now As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury, and was
opposed by the House until, in the last hours
OF the session, it was allowed to go to save
the legislative appropriation bill. At all pre-
vious stages in the House, it was opposed by
the leading members. Among the most prom
inent opponents was Mr.. Haleof this State.
One fact stated by him is particularly worthy
OF notice. 1t is that the scheme did not orig
mate in the Senate but the proposition first
came to the Committee on appropriations in
the House and was voted down. 1t was then
put on in the Senate''
Now it appears by this same Congressional
Globe that but one member in the House,
Gen. B. F. Butler, advocated it, which he did
while admitting that Secretary Boutwell, did
not favor the scheme. In view of these facts,
what is the fair inference? Simply that it
was Gen. Buffers scheme. 1t was crowded
through the House just as the salary bill OF
this same champion of all bad measures, was
crowded through-to save an appropriation
bill. ga - 81 t~
In the course of the debate there is one
point further worthy of notice. Mr.. Hale in
his earnest opposition to the measure said:
What object to is this, that these inform
ers should be paid for assisting the proper Of
ficers of the government. What are the prop
er officers to do if they are rot to detect these
things and to execute the law? What are the
district attorneys and the whole parapher-
MALTA OF our courts, what are they all for, I'M
less to enforce the law? l wish that the gov
eminent should not appear in this attitude of
coniessing that its officers are incompetent
anu nave not attended to their duties in the
past anu are now forced to make contracts
with informers who come to them trad;ro
upon their knowledge"
The remarks of Mr.. Hale, made three ve,r,
since, now suggest the pertinent inquiry:
Why cannot the supervisors, special agents and
other internal revenue officers do this work
that Sanborn and his associates have SO sue
cessfully begun? Are they incompetent or
have they other duties as had Mr.. Simmons
last summer in Massachusetts, in packing
caucuses? Have these Offices been bestowed
upon men having no fitness for the positions ?
If so, .or what purpose?

The stom.ch,s Revenge.

The stomach cannot be maltreated with mpunity.
Overload it with food rritae it with fiery liquors,
impair its activity vitiate it juices by any outrage
the laws of health. and it revenges itself through
the liver, the bowels, the kidneys, the brain or the
nervous system, and sometimes through all these or
gans simultaneously, in succession There is
scarcely any variety OF bodily mental pain or dis
comfort which it does not mhict upon those who
abuse and overtask its powers. Under these cir
cumstances there is but one medicine to which the
sufferer can resort to with the certainty of obtaining
immediate and permanent nelief. The most whole-
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, produces an immediate
and most benefcent change in the condition of the
patient. The whole digestive system is once in
vigOrated and soothed the liver regulated and toned
the bowels relieved of all Instructions the spirits
cheered and the relaxed nerves strengthened and
steadied

SODA WATER
Absolutely Pure CarbOnic
Acid or Soda Water.


The immense increase in the use Of Soda Water,
popular beverage Justly entities its manufact-
ure to place among the first brewing interests or
the country and has called the attention OF invent
ing machinery for its manufacture and transporta-
ZION that combines at the same time,
Purity. Lightness and Strength.
AT It's first Introduction a beverage, Soda Water
Was made and kept in machines and fountains made
3I copper or IRON and variousy lined to protect the
water from metallic contamination. Experience
soon proved that the of copper was not desirable
as the greatest care in the character of the lining
would not always be effective in preventing the Wa
ter from contamination and that the weight of iron
made the transportation too laborous and extensive
Experiments were then made with steel as that met
AL possessed none OF the poisonous qualities of copper
and combined lightness with great strength. After
many ATTEMPTS the firm Of John Matthews of New
York City, about three years ago, succeeded in max
ing Fountain of sheet steel lined with
Pnre sheet Tin. which they have since used ex-
cu lively In their extensive business with unexpect-
ed success and which they have this year offered
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
bt verage absolutely free from all injurious metallic
impurities. These Fountains are double.
The interior fountain is made of pure lin in sheets,
incl sed in an exterior shell of Fine Cast Sheet Steel
of great strength and elasticity The cocks also are
made of gun metal and are bored and lined with
pure Ba1ca Tin throughout their entire length and
the water in its exit from the fountain comes in con-
tact with no injurious metal 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 hum
dred pounds to the square inch. The fountain weighs
only forty-six pounds, which is only ons-half the
weight of copper, and only onesuarter the weight Of
iron which gives then an immense superiority In the
cost of transportation.
The subscribers having completed ARRANGEMENTS
for the sole use of these fountains in the city Of Port
land and vicinity take great pleasure in offering to
the public a superior quality of Carbcnic
Acid or Mineral Water, in Fountains that thew
can guarantee absolutely and permanently pure be-
eyng that to lmprsve and elevate the
character of Aerated Waters will meet with appro-
baton and support.
