PHILADELPHIA, Pa,
Aug. lS. T6.
The Germans are beginning TO realize
how poor their display is in contrast with
other nations. Their most creditsble dis
play is their Ceramic work, which can
hardly be excelled for beauty. Their
bronzes too are deserving of much ad-
miration, but still they lack the taste and
judgment that is shown by other Europe
ans. Although the excuses offered are
plausible. Germany is not up to the mark
and her representatives are deeply NOR
tilted at the display. Prof Feauleaux OF
Berlin is one OF the representatives OF
Germany on the Jury of the Centennial
Exhibition, and he has taken occasion TO
refer TO il in one OF his letters TO the
National Zeitung. He says, the Ger
mans in America have for many years
talked of what Germany would produce
when she should be united and regener-
sted. They proudly foretold that their
"iaderland" would certainly surpass
other nations in many respects, if not
eclipse them altogether; now that they
see that the very opposite has happened
they have become our bitterest critics
though indirectly they may prove to be
our friends, for they are publicly setting
before Germany truths which she would
not believe when they were told her by
her friends in Europe. He proceeds by
saying: There are three principal criti-
cisms which are made on the German De.
partment In the Exhibition. First. that
the leading principle of German industry
is to produce things which are cheap and
bad. Secondly, that most German goods
are not made 10 be beautiful in them
selves but to attract by an appeal TO Ger
man patriotic feeling. and thirdly, that
German industry shows no progress what
everi either in taste or invention. He
says. cannot refrain from feeling OF

For THE OXFORD DEMOCRAT.
4 Pleasant Trip.
July 1876

Mr.. Ednor:--
As a participant In the excursion OF Mt.
Mica Lodge, l. o. OF o. F.. will try 10
give you little insight into the huge
amount of enjoyment crowded into Fri
day. August ith. Early morning found
large number OF the good people of So.
Paris astir and packing into their various
wagons huge baskets, boxes. coffee pots,
etc. preparing for ride Of some four
teen miles TO Harrison, where the steamer
Mount Pleasant had been charted for their
especial use. T. NJ. Thayer with the
Red Bird started with load OF eighteen
aud went through without accident.
The butcher. tho merchant. and The
squire, not counting on their full weight
started in too irail equipages aud came
TO grief by break downs when not far on
their journey the butcher by the fracture
OF an axle. and the merchant and squire
by the collapse OF a spring each. Such
little tri1es, however, made no impression
on those 50 earnestly pleasure bent, but
the damage was soon repaired by ex-
change, and all hands were on time for
the boat at o'clock.
Upon walking the plank we found our
selves on the steamer Mount Pleasant,
$50 named from Pleasant Mountain which
with the hotel on its top had been in full
view at the southwest during our morn
ing ride). The Steamer is 81 feet long
and "a wide. with upper and lower deck.
The upper deck being protected by o per
maneDt awning TO guard from sun and
rain. The steamer was we'll provided
with seats TO accommodate the nearly $50
passengers.
Leaving Harrison we left No. Bridgton
a mile to our right as we steamed down
Long Pond. When about three miles
down We left Centre Bridgton at our
right. and five or six miles more brought
us in view Of Naples with Its draw bridge
so narrow that the boat sides sometimes
touch, and the water, filled with perch,
looks not more than two feet deep. l
may as well say here that we found on
board the Bridgton Band, ls pieces. 10
discourse TO us sweet music for the trip,
and we'll did they fulfill their obligation,
for one had only to ask. when is the
band going to play" when the leader
would answer, Now" and 60 at it.
Leaving Naples drawbridgs. the
water widens for mile or more into the
Bay of Naples. when we enter the crook
ed Songo River. II you wish good
idea of how crooked this river is. take q
cord and place it on your table with as
many turns and elbows as possible, and
it may give you faint idea OF its tortuous
course. When about one third of the
way down We came to Songo Lock
which we enter. and are gradually lower
ed about five feet, to the level OF Lake
Sebago. A few rods below the Lock at
the mouth OF Crooked River, the steam er
makes turn at right angles by the use
of snub warp. This trip the rope part
| ed from long use and much water, and
