Letter from ROckIand.


Nothing has occurred since my last let
ter that is worthy OF note. We have been
obliged to seek shady retreat now and
| then, outside the range of a few shot guns
loaded for us by several bellicose females
OF the spinsterian order, because of our
allusion last week to 'prickly pears"
\ ou remember Noah had little unpleas-
antness at one time with this same class,
and refused them state rooms because of
their aversion to p0iring. Several report
ers have been assaulted in our stead. We
have an apology at hand for all interview
ers 1t has seven barrels.
Manager Halls (Police CourD Theatre
last Thursday morning was the center Of
attraction. The forest maiden Pocahontas,
whose warblings in the Point music halls
had attracted the attention of the 'ushers,"
was to make her bow before the Judge,
and tickets We're in demand She was
much "enhanced" by the TACT of her be-
ing prevented from putting in her appear
| ance for day OF two by little convivial-
ty indulged in at the Wigwam, the first
night OF her incarceration. A little fire
water had been smuggled in by hands
| unknown, and there being few braves in
the dusky maidens wigwam, the result
was ga sound of revelry by night" The
cock shrill clarion" failed on Wednesday
morn to rouse her from her lowly bed,
and the usual matinee passed without the
appearance of the Indian Princess. Thurs
day morning the Judge reviewed her
DER told tale, when finding her beyond
| the ken Of ordinary judicial comprehen-
sion,
'No more he sought her merits to disclose"
but gave her clean BILL and the daughter
OF Ishmael drew her mantle more closely
about her ayoirdupois and slowly wcnded
her way toward the setting sun.
The Knights of Pythias spread their
guslatorial attractions in Farwell and
Ames Hail Thursday night of last week
An elegant gold watch was voted Rev j.
r. owler-the Knight Templar receiving
the most votes And then the floor was
waxed
And Gow you are confronted at every
corner by a double row of buttons, and q
smile that is childlike and bland you are
doomed for your quota OF tickets to the
Policeman's Ball to come off Thursday
next. With a keen eye to business the
young man Of suspicious habits invests his
currency, thinking by such deposit he may
be covered in The day Of the policemans
anger We wish our guardians of the
| peace the fullest measure Of success.
| We think that the weather bureau at
Washington and the last OF the Cesars
are at loggerheads Everything here is at
a dead lock- A sea Of ice extends across
from .Jameson's point to Owls Head We
sympathize with our Camden complain
ant in his conundrum Of last week.
We are confident that the fourth of
March will bring a change in the temper
ature. Our mercury rises at the thought.
We already hear the cracking of the ice as
the foxy James cuts his last flourish as
grand umpire, and catching his political
skate in the party seam, measures his
length with the common herd. Never did
day loom up in the Republican horizon
with such fearful distinctness as that day
which but pretigures their final and dis
graceful overthrow. 1t seems like dream,
to us long weary with watching, as the
old Democratic nag is sighted once more
IN the otling, and the day of our rcdemp-
ton draweth nigh God grant the day
when the whole herd of national plunder-
ers shall homeward 'wind slowly DER the
lea" and sink away into the shades of
political Disgrace
