Kennebunk, and to be commanded by Capt.
James Keazer; and Capt George Bunker is
having barquentine of $50 tons built at Cher
ryfeld, which will probably make Portland her
home port. This. with the new ship st. John
Smith, OF 1900 tons, just purchased by Portland
parties, and the steamer building for the Port
land and New York line will make the new
tonnage to be added to the Portland
district the current year about $4,000
tons. The list numbers thIrty-three vessels
twenty-six of which, including two ships, will
hail from Portland, The rest will hail from
Yarmouth, Freeport, and Brunswick. 1t will
be noticed that nearly all are of the larger class
of vessels, most of which will go into the for
eign trade. The owners represent all trades,
including lawyers, bankers etc, and the capital
invested will amount to 81, SOC, 900.
The amount of tonnage under contract to be
built in the State the present year, is estimated
at 100 900 tons or about 80 per cent more than
last year, the only drawback being the scarcity
of laborers and increased wages which may
prevent the fultllment of some contracts.
STIRRING THE MATTER UP. & Sir Thomas
Browne says somewhere in his "Urn Burial
that there is a certain class of vices common to
every age and every country, which dressed up
| in commonplaces have served as texts to
preachers for all time past and will for genera
tions to come. 1t is not the purpose of this ar
| ticle to moralize upon any of the old stock
| grievances of the world, but to call the atten-
| ton of the public to society of recent form
| alton. which has done and is doing much good
| The organization in question is called by those
| who desire to be funny but who have strong OBJ
jections to any waste of brain tissue, ''the So
cety with the long name" This designation
| is held to be very humorous, and when it is
heard people laugh. For the sake of novelty
the organization will be called in this article
| ''The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
| Animals" The branch in this city has been
| quite successful in the attainment of its avow
| ed objects since it came into being, and the re-
port of its efficient agent Mr.. A. II. Libby, of
the work accomplished during the past year is
fiattering exhibit. This evening the Direct
ors hold meeting to take into consideration
| ways and means to further the work of the So
| ciety.

matter. Most people admit that the society is
right and that it is doing good work. They
profess sympathy with its objects, but raise
never hand to help it. When they see a case
where an animal is terribly abused they pass
| by on the other side and wonder where the
agent of the society with the long name is. They
would do quite as well in such cases to lodge
complaint with the agent or at the Municipal
Court. The agent can't be everywhere. The
days of magic tapestries and shoon of swiftness
have quite passed by. The truth is that much
of the commiseration expressed for suffering
dumb beasts is empty SLOW In these days of
Darwin and the descent Of man it surely seems
as though we ought to cherish fellow feeling
for our poor relations. If Emerson and his
fellow philobrahmns would but inculcate the
kinder reverence for and care of the beasts that
perish we should owe them bigger debt OF
gratitude than we do now. A belief in the
metempsy even would be worth advocat-
ing if it would conduce to kinder.treatmento of
animals. 1t is not the interest of beasts alone
that are in question. 1t is the reflex action
