Mr. EDITOR Il wish TO answer few enquiries

the Maine Standard, thinking, or at least asking.

agement of our highways. do not think any
money has been expended foolishy or fraudulent
". If the City Government or any committees
thereof had been inclined to spend the people 5
money to disadvantage, the gentleman has GER
tainy given them the opportunity Of doing SO by
desiring it to buy his gravel bank, and paying the
unreasonable amount he has asked for 1t; and by
his lobby ing for the last three four years to sell
the city bank, on condition that it should take
the gravel out in such place and manner as
would open street through his land thus enhanc-
ing the value of his property without being OF any
great value to the city. The gentleman further
says, Ills Worship, the Mayor, will not be sur,
prised to learn that have been hauling sand and
loan to repair streets" Perhaps his Honor the
Mayor, may be surprised to learn that AIR. Wade
rfased TO sell to the city any of his gravel by the
load, thinking to thus force the city to purchase
hi. gravel bank. But after finding the city was
not obliged to pay him his exorbitant price OF two
thousand dollars, and that it could get as good
gravel elsewhere, he now comes and offers to sell
TO the city for ten cents per cubic yard If the
gentleman would be willing to take fair and just
price for his bank, the city would purchase 1t,
thereby avoiding the necessity of hauling IRON

"squ. an the fife and beat the drum,
The year OF jubilee has come"
During hasty trip up the valley of the Andres
coggin, ON Saturday last, we observed that vege-
ta,lon was progre sslng rapidly, and especially that
the grass crop promises to be unusually abundant
this year. Farmers were finishing up their plant
ing and sowing, and occupying their spare mo-
ments in DESTROYING the millions of caterpillars
nesting apple and other fruit trees. At Livermore
Falls, Mr. Alvin Record is rebuilding his leather
board mill, which was recently destroyed by fire,
involving loss of some fifteen or twenty thousand
dollars. The enterprise of Mr. Record Will be
duly appreciated by his fellow townsmen. who
deeply sympathized with him on account of his Sc
we're loss. The business of that locality seems to
be rather on the increase, and We trust the day OF
prosperity there elsewhere, is already dawning.

T"gus-A Visit to the National Soldiers
Home.
Among all the pleasant drives in and about our
beautiful "city of hills" land there are many the
most pleasant Of them all, in estimation is that
to the National Soldiers Home at Togus, some
four miles east of the city, where the MANNED and
heroic survivors Of the late rebellion are provided
by the government with pleasant and comtorts-
bic home and where all the necessary advantages
for social epioyments are furnished them.
On Saturday afternoon last, we proceeded, in
company with q friend to the institution, and were
| shown a. ound by polite ard attentive guides; and
| truly We have rarely enjoyed ourselves more
pleasantly than in examining the different portions
| OF the institution. Everything seems to be made
| lust 1ipht, and in The most perfect manner. Up
stairs and down stairs, indoors and outdoors,
through all the buildings, we went, our guides all
the while explaining this and that place OF INTEREST,"
and pointing out all the various contilvahces anu
| inventions for the quick despatch OF work. Inc
| main buildings consist of four and aie built IN
| the form of hollow square, with lawn IN lhe
center laid out with walks etc, and just at this

buildings and above in the second and third
stories They consist of several rooms, contain

neatness. The dining room situated IN the west
buildipg on the second floor, is an immense &C.
paument. containing twelve long tables, capable
| of seating 500 persons. The tables are furnished
with palatable and wholesome food. good enough
! for anyone. As one the men told US, the per,

here would be dissatisfied anywhere This
speaks well for the management. The kitchen Is
in the rear of this and supplied with ranges
and steam heating apparatus for the cooking oil
the necessities OF life. We visited the bake house
also, and were surprised at the great amount OF
of flower bread that had that day been taken from
the ovens. Somewhere ia the vicinity of five hun
bred loavcs. we should judge, were piled upon the
tables. And they were loaves, too; good, sub
stantial and wholesome looking.

A healthy liver secretes each day about two and
a half pounds of bile, which contains . great
amount of waste mater ial taken from the blood.
When the liver becomes torpid or congested, it
fails to eliminate this vast amount Of noxiOus sub
stance which, therefore, remains to poison the
blood and be conveyed to every part Of the system
What must be the blood when it is receiving and
retaining each day two and half pounds OF pol
son? Nature tries to work off this poison through
other channels and organs-the kidneys, lungs,
skim etc., but these organs become overtaxed in
performing this labor in addition to their natural
functions, and cannot long Withstand the pressure
but become variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical center
of all vitality, is unduy stimulated by the unhea-
thy blood which passes to it from the heart. and 1t
fails to perform its office healthiy. Hence the
symptoms of bile poisoning, which are dizziness,
head ache inc apacity to keep the mind on any sub
ect, impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or ner-
vous feelings, gloomy forebOdings, and irritAbity
of temper. The blood itself being diseased, Is II
