4 HERO OF THE SEA.
Captain VIM. IL. Dunphy OF Gar,

Captain VIM. IL. Dunphy OF Gardiner.
A despatch from Bath announced the
launching of fine ship at that place, which
is to be commanded by Captain VIM. ii. Dun
ply of Gardiner. This announcement, says
the Portland Advertiser, recalls 10 mind an
instance of the noblest kind of heroism per-
formed by Captain Dunphy, who is yet a
young man. Like maj ority of New Eng
land boys he was at an early age thrown upon
his own resources, his father being dead
He shipped as boy in vessel belonging to
the Messrs. Bradstreet, the we'll known ship
owners of Gardiner, and by his faithfulness
and seamanshp 80 impressed his employers
with his sterling worth that they placed him in
command of a vessel a few years after he
reached his majority.
In the summer of 1867 while captain Of the
brig Nellie Mitchell, he left Aspinewall for

these two noble fellows cared for the sufferers
and guided the vessel on its course. When

TENS they also were stricken down. Captain
Dunphy, fearing lest no one might survive to
tell the fate of the pest-ship, tackled letter
to the bulkhead, giving an account of the
ravages of the disease. Provden.ially, three
days after, he recovered sufficiently to head
the brig for San Antonio. In spite of the

consider quietly the case even as it has been
stated, they will accept his life as a sufficient
answer. 1t is a little difficult for the average
mindro believe in the existence o. magnapi-
nifty so large as this.
Question - What if anything, does Mr..
Beecher say about the apologize letter cited
by Mr.. Tilton, in which Mr.. Beecher after
acknowledging his guilt is made TO appear as
imploring Tilton's pardon.
Answer--If Beecher should conclude that
the case requires utterance on his part, he
will dispose of that letter most effectua.ly.-
What he thinks of it we are not at liberty to
state at present This, however, we will say
on our own account, that Mr.. Beecher never
wrote any such letter; that Mr. Tilton knows
he did not, and that there is no such letter in
existence.
Question-Is there any truth in the state
ment that Beecher authorized any person to
offer as the price of silence to send Tilton and
his family to Europe?
Answer-Therc is not, and We doubt wheth-
er Beecher ever heard of such thing until 1t
appeared in the letter.
Mr.. Beecher was present at the prayer
meeting of Plymouth church Thursday eve
ming. The proceedings were Of the usual de-
votonal character, and no reference whatev-
er, was made to matters recently ventilated
by Tilton.
After the meeting. Beecher in conversation
with reporter, said he had at present no
intention of saying anything in reply to the
recent statement He has large pastorate
under his charge, and had no time for person
al controversies. If, however, the examiners
of Plymouth church should decide that 1t
would be well for him to speak out, in re-
gard to recent charges, he would do so with
out hesitation.
An impartial review of all the facts and
charges as they now stand before the pub
lie can lead to no other conclusion than
that the whole subject in issue must be
thoroughly investigated. The past career
of Theodore Titon does not tend to in
spirc very much confidence in his state
ments in respect to any subject. He seems
to be one of those persons with whom illu-
sions pass for realities and whose sanity
and insanity SO closely blend that it is not
easy to decide which predominates. Yet
this unhappy controversy has reached that
stage that Mr.. Beecher and his friends can
no longer remain silent, but should de-
mand searching examination and fair
statement of the essential facts. 1t is SIM
ccrely to be hoped that triumphant vim
dication of this gifted and distinguished
man is within the power Of his friends
and that the scandal so long circulated by
questionable persons will be forever put
at rest

most intense agony he persevered in endeav-
oring to retain the helm in his hands or to
perform the duties of nurse to his unfortunate
men, would fall in fainting fit to the deck,
with no one to relieve him, or even to put a
drop of water to his lips. During all this time
he could not walk, but dragged himself around
on his hands and knees.
At last friendly sail appeared and the
Lizzie Bell rescued this self sacrificing sailor
from death through exhaustion. He was
brought to an American poit as soon as pos
sible and sent to his home, bat the terrible
scenes through which he had passed was too
much even for his naturally strong constitu-
ton, and for whole year it was considered
a matter of great doubt whether he would
ever recover from the effects of his exertions
and sufferngs. At last, however, he recov-
cred sufficiently to assume command of
vessel built expressly for him at Bowdoinham,
though doubtless he will never regain the
physical strength he possessed before his sad
trip on the little Nellie Mitchell.
Such heroism as this young Kennebec cap
tain displayed deserves to be remembered,
for while on land, with all the aid of sympa-
thzng assistants, it requires the strongest
nerves to pass through scenes like these, on
the painless ocean, undying energy and
self sacrificing almost impossible is demanded,
even if one is in the best of health, and how
much more are these qualities exhibited when
the actor is himself Frustrated with disease?

THE KENNEBEC ICE CROP.

As the amount of ice on the kennebec
river has excited considerable comment
and been the subject of gross misstatements
in the New York and Boston papers, we
are glad to sec that an intelligent cor
respondent of the New York Evening Post
writing from Gardiner, throws some light
on the subject. The panic in ice in the
cities has been caused by the desire OF
brokers to make big thing out of what
they called the scarcity in that commodity.
The brokers who speculate between the
producers and the New York retailers, by
shrewd management, have as good an OPP
portunity to make profitable corners as
the stock spectators have. They are the
purchasers Of the larger part OF the ice that
has already been sold. They have tried
to induce the retailers to "hold OFF, for
more favorable prices, hoping to get con-
troll of the trade by postponing the day OF
sale until the producers are forced by
necessity to sell to them at the terms they
choose to offer. Then the retailers may
look in vain for low prices, and will be
forced to pay the brokers' own prices.
The men who have contracted for the
purchase of ice Oh the Kennebec river at
$3.50 per ton, now refuse to sell for 81,
and the companies in New York, Phila-
dclphia and Boston, who have been prom
ised ice at fair figures, have found it ex-
ceedingly difficult to contract with the
producers for the delivery of ice at any
future time for any price. Nine-tenths of
the ice produced for expectation in this
State is found on the kennebec River, the
most of it in or within few miles of Gar
diner. The following table contains the
names of all the producers on this river,
the amount Gin the first column of tigures)
of ice in the houses of each at the opening
of navigation, and the amount Gin the Sec
ond column of figures) disposed of and
not in market the 18th of June:

This leaves in store 1853 675 tons not sold.
1t is probable that the State of Maine
never produced two million tons of ice in
one season, although the amount in one or
two years may have exceeded that of this
year. 1t is as well also to correct a prev
alent misrepresentation as to the cost OF
production. The average cost Of cutting
and housing the ice is twenty-five cents
per ton, and the cost of shipping it is 70
cents per ton. An ice-housc often thousand
tons capacity adds about fifty-per cent. to
the cost of the first years crop. The act
ual cost of the ice, therefore, cannot ex-
coed 81 so per ton for u series of years
under the most unfavorable circumstances.
When the season is extraordinarily favor
able, ice can be housed for less than fif-
teen cents per ton. The relative expense
of production, and of houses also, is re-
duced greatly by the extension of the
business. The cost of transportation va
ries, of course, with other business. 1t is
worthy of remark, however, that, as in
everything else, the odds are against New
York when compared with other cities.
The shippers of ice make the old COM
plants of extoronate pilotage fees and port
charges and poor facilities for transfer.
This year, also, return freights for the
Kennebec River are better from Philadel
phia.

COMMENTS or THE NEW YORK
PRESS ON TILTON'S LETTER.

Tilton's letter on the Beecher scandal is the
universal topic of conversation, and draws out
comments from the papers. The Tribune
thinks that Tilton has made a mistake, even
if all he claims is true. The Sun says that
he should have told more or held his tongue
altogether, but the whole story must now
come out, as silence on the part of Beecher
is no longer possible.
Mr.. Sherman, clerk of Plymouth Church,
is reported as saying to an interviewer, that
he had full confidence in the entire innocence
of Beecher: That Tilton's letter contained
no definite charge against him, and that the
extract from what appears to be Beecher's
confessions, was capable of two constructions,
and might, when the full document was pub
lished, be found consistent 18th his innocence.
Other members of Plymouth church are not
so hopeful Of a.favorable result for their pas
tor, and doubt whether he will ever preach in
the church again.
The Brooklyn Eagle publishes an Interview
with two of Beecher's intimate friends, who
passed Thursday with him at Peekskili They
say he did not feel bad about 'Tiltons letter
and considering its nature, looked at it with
astounding composure. He knew Tilton con-
templated something of the kind for some
time, and seemed quite relieved that it was

THE NEW CABINET APPOINTMENT.

THE NEW CABINET APPOIN11HEN1 :
The election of Hon. EUGENE HALE for
Postmaster General was surprise to him
as il was unexpected by the people OF
Maine. Yet it is one OF those sensible,
we'll considered acts, with which President
Grant often commends himself to the
good sense of the country. 1t is an I'M
usual circumstance in its political history
for Maine to have representative in the
Cabinet, and we are gratified that in this
instance the choice has fallen on one SO
capable of filing the place with credit to
himself and honor to the State. 1t is said
that EUGENE HALE has been favored by
circumstances, that he is the favorite OF
good fortune, that occasion and favoring
breezes combine to his advantage. But
these statements and implications do not
account for his undertaking, broadening
success. The spring of his continued adj
vance is largely within himself. His pow
ers are disciplined and his resources at
command. He has energy. He is plucky.
He has0what is fittingly termed, snap. He
has better than all-he has integrity.
What he attempts to do, he generally does
rightly and WELL These qualities COM
mended him to his Congressional District
and have caused the President to select
him for the important position he is about
to assume. He is one Of the youngest
men who have filled places in the Nation
al Cabinet, being thirty-eight years ofage.
For nine successive years was County At
Attorney for Hancock county. He was two
years member of the State Legislature,
and in 1868 chosen to Congress from the
Fifth District, was reelected in 1870, and
in 1872 was chosen to the Forty-third Con-
gress, by a majority of more than 5000
over Hon. F. A. Pike. Greeley Republic
can. The manner this appointment is re-
ceived in different sections of the country
is indicative of the public satisfaction
with his Congressional record.
In 1916 President Polk selected Nathan
Clifford for Attorney General, and he held
the Office nearly two years. William Pitt
Fessenden for a few months was at the
head of the United States Treasury in the
Administration of Abraham Lincoln, after
the retirement of Salmon p. Chase, and
for long series of years these have been
the only Cabinet honors held by citizens
of Maine. 1t is pleasing fact that Mr..
Hale's predecessor leaves the Department
without blemish on his reputation and
with the general confidence of the country.
We are confident that Mr. Hale will
be even more fortunate in his administra-
ton of the office and will continue the eff
forts to put an end to abuses in the vast
ly extended affairs of this department.
