political issues of the day, and requested their
suffrage. His speech was in substance of
that delivered in Gloucester The condition
of Southern affairs received particular atten-
ton, and he argued that if he was refused re-
moved from the tower of right and Justice,
and such howl would go up from rebellion
as had not been heard since the beginning of
the war
In addition to the points touched upon in
his first speech, he spoke of the proposed re-
ciproci;y treaty, expressing himself as unut.
wouli strike death blow to the ship building
interests of his district. He was opposed to
civil service reforms because men would be
kept in office all tleir lives, and it discrimin-
at against the poor soldiers aud their wild
ows in favor of those who spent time in ac-
Cumulating mere book learning, which was
not practical.
The audience was as large as the hall would
accommodate and there was considerable en-
thusiasm.

Unique Presentation.

The Humboldt. Scientific Clam Club of
North America, in addition to their very re-
markable Investigations, indulge on the &C.
casien of their annual excursions, in the pc
culiar pastime of canoeing some one of their
officers-their third term President Mai.
Baker, being the latest sufferer. When il
became known that the Major, with proper
medical care, would survive the affection the
club turned their attention to their third tern,
Treasurer, M. Withheld, Esq, whose ques.
tionable action in establishing a syndicate to
negotiate loans to replenish the depleted treas

fifteen cents lawful currency, had created a
feeling of uneasiness and distrust, it was de-
cided that immediate measures should be tax

OF a most remarkable pattern and capacity
was procured from abroad, and an evening or

moned at pre- determined point, to which
the Treasurer was inveigled, and the safe

Boston Dry Goods Market.
FRIDAY. Sept. 10.


There has been better jobbing trade the past
week, and considering the unseasouableness OF tho
weather. fair amount of goods has been distribu-
ted There has, however, been but little necessity
tor sbbers to replenish their stocks, and the sales
nom agents have been limited to small lots Prices
have been unsettled. and while there are open
concession on many brands of goods, agents are
generally ready to meet actual buyers at market
rates. Business is cond cted very prudently, and
both jobuer5 and retailers are firm in their deter
mination to buy only such quantities as are re
CURED for consumption, for which they can pay
promptly.
There has been moderate trade in Brown Cot
tons, and jObbers have purchased as their wants
little easier but thus far trade has not been stimu.
lated by concessions. Bleached C0ttons remain
quiet, and the trade purchase only required for
immediate distribution. Ticks and Denims are
for export and but limited inquiry for the home
trade. There is very little demand for stripes ex-
cept the Cheviot patterns, and these styles only
sell in a limited quantity. Cotton Flannels have
been in moderate request, but the demand 10 linn
tied to small lots to piece out assOrtments. Cling.
hams of good qualities and in reasonable colors
are selling fairly, and prices have been fairly sus
tanned. Prints have been less active, and most Of
the jobbers have present supply. Some of the
most tasty designs are placed by agents, but as
Llnue in better demand than any other class of fab
RIGS and there is good distribution TO the jobbing
and retail trade.
Weolens remain without special change. Chin.
hut Beavers and faced goods remain qriet. There
is some litlle improvement in the demand for Cas-.
simeres, but the popular taste runs upon worsted
goods, which are IN good request. Flannels have
been SELF iairly, and there does not seem to be
an overstock OF these goods
Carpets are distributed little more literally,
and there has been fair demand for the better
grades of lngrams and Brussels.

At the Gardiner Studios.

The talented young artists, Messrs. Holmes
and Berry, have returned from their summer
sketching tours, and are now putting things
in order for winter work The picture bust
ness is OF course little dull just now, as it is
dependent for its complete scope upon ali easy
money Market and when men have to buy
bread and shoes, instead of pictures, the ar
list must lay down bis brush Not so, how
ever. with these modest and gentemanly
young artists, whose studios we visited one
day last week. They are each preparing for
busy work this winter, satisfied the times will
soon change for the better, and they will then
reap their reward. Mr. p II. Holmes visited
with his own team the past summer, the
White and Green Mountains, and the Adiron-
dacks, taking things easy along the route, and
sketchlng the whole distance. He has some
fine pictures now on exhibition at the fair of
the Mechanics Association in Boston, among
them one of the largest ones ever hung at
their fairs; being l-2 By 10 l-2 feet. This
is called the "IIillsides of Maine in Autumn -
and represents a view from Beach Hill in
Pittston, looking westward across the Kenne.
Dec, with the White Mountains in the distance
He has also three or four smaller pictures on
exhibition; and we are pleased to learn that
his recent sale proved very satisfactory, and
was largely patronized by parties both in and
out of the State. Mr.. J. w. Berry's studio
contains some fine pictures, the large view of
Mt. Washington and one or two marine
pieces being very fine specimens of work
He has also one or two autumn scenes that
are very natural in coloring, and otherw ise
true to nature. NJ. Berry exhibits four or
five Of his best pictures at the State Fair at
Lewiston this week, and we particularly re-
quest those who visit the art gallery 10 make
special study of his work. A marine piece
"A wrecked vessel going down amid a lash
ing storm-is especially commended to their
notice. In the absence of his father Mr..
John Berry, postmaster of Gardner, who is
of on western trip, Mr.. Berry is now acting
as postmaster.

sion. Some roamed over the island, some
fished. some sailed in boats, and some made
exceedingly comfortable by full stomach,
looked on. And all went merry. and at 81
o'clock we cast off and taking a turn past Fort
Popham, we made for Bath, and running up
past the city, we were called to supper at 5
o'clock and if possible the preparations were
more elaborate than in the morning; having
partaken with zeal that must have astonish-
ed each individually, we came to shore,
marched through other prominent streets Of
the city and thence to the asylum, where
knightly courteses and congratulations were
spoken by Sir knights Duncan and Hayes of
Dunlap, r. W. Black and A. d. Knight and
Warren Colby of Trinity, and at Cd o'clock
we returned by rail to our homes all feeling
under profound obligations for the generous
hospitality displayed by Dunlap Commandery
and rich in pleasant recellections, and certain

LEWISTON.

Lewiston, Sept. 49, Judge Walton, at the
Supreme Judicial Court at Auburn to-day,
ruled that the liquor law of the State was in
full force. The Evening Journal quotes from
the decision as follows
''It is claimed that one of the principal pro-
visions of the liquor law, viz: section %,
Chapt. 81 Of the revised statutes, which pro-
vides the sale of intoxicating liquors is re-
pealed, and am requested to instruct the
jury in this case that there is not now in force
any statute upon which the defendant can be
convicted, have examined the case, and in
my judgment the argument in support of the
supposed repeal has not sufficient grounds
to rest upon to give it plausibility."

Mr.. EDITOR The excursion of Trinity
Commandery Of X. T., in hich they were the
guests of Dunlap Commandery of Bath, re-
ferred to in your paper was nice affair. We
left Augusta by the regular O'Clock train with
about fifty men in the ranks, Sir knight II
W. Black, En- Com. accompanied by Past
Commanders Warren Colby, A. ID. Knight and
Orlando Cu-rier, and arrived in Bath at s
o'clock, and were received in most Knghtly
manner by Dunlap Commandery, II a. Dun
can, I'm. Com, and after brief march
through some of the principal streets, just
sufhcient to get up an appetite, escorted by
Dunlaps led by Bath Band in soul stirring mu
sic, and thence we were conducted on
board the Barge YOSEMITE which was in tow by
the fast sailing steamer knicker booker, Capt.
Morse, which Is one OF six steamers owned
by Steamboat Co., of which Capt. Benz
Morse is superintendent. Divested of our re-
gala and the dust of our march, and having
spent brief period in becoming acquainted,
we were summoned to very bountfully laden
tables with all the subtantials that could be
thought of, and all the Injuries of the season
displayed in the most attractive manner. We
had but just commenced to discuss in full
force the contents of the table when the Barge
loosed her moorings and we were in the most
delightful manner gliding down the river
to Cox's Head which Is a small Island COM
posed very largely of solid rock, the highest
point of which is some one hundred and fifty
feet above the sea, and at this high and easily
detensible point there are earthw orks, which
were made during the war of 1912. 1t is
about half mile in a northerly direction from
Fort Popham of which it commands a fine
view as it does also of Seguin, Pond
Island and Parker's Head, where there
was at one time large amount of lumber
manufactured. The mills were burned some
fifteen years since and now one Of the priuci-
pie sources of income to this very pleasant
settlement is in harvesting ice in the winter.
One o'clock p. M. All being ready, to the
clambake we go, and such clam o-rous
struggle after the steaming heap of edibles
1t Was called a clambake, but besides some
twenty bushels of clans there were large
quantities of Sweet Corn in the husk,
Sweet and Irish Potatoes, HOLSTERS, Eggs,
&C., you have the bill of fare and the va
rious styles in which the clans were served,
but to properly appreciate, the thing must be
enjoyed. The great feast being over most re-
turned to the barge where the time was devoted
by some to dancing and song, and this re-
minds me that the ladies of Dunlaps were
present and by their presence and charms
added immensely to the joyousness of the &C.
.ion, and the fact that by a misunderstand-
ing the ladies OF Trinity were not invited, was
