If small cigar vender should be discoy-
cred defraudiDg the revenue OF five or twenty
dollars he would be indicted for fraud and
sent to jail. Why should Samuel j. Tilden
who stands selfconoicted of defrauding the
revenue of hundreds if not thousands be al.
lowed to escape? Let no guilty man escape.

WHILE Mr.. Tildeu is sending to our Maine
people so many documents, will he insert in
one OF them an explanation of his apparent
wilful perjury respecting his income tax?
That would be the tract that would cause the
people to believe that Reformer Tilden Is an
honest man.

AN Indiana paper says that the Democrats
OF Brown County, that State, capped the cli-
max of idiocy by hosting a soldiers gray
shirt, stained red to represent blood, on
pole, and marching with it at the head of the
procession. OF course this was designed to
riGicule what is known as the ''bloody shirt,
rhetoric of The Republicans, but it would
not have required an ounce of brains to see
that it would react with terrible effect on the
Democrats. No soldier could witness the
spectacle with out indignant rage.

THERE is lot of honest Democrats in
Salem, Indiana. The other day Gen. Lew
Wallace made Republican speech there.
Theve was number of Democrats present.
Gen. Wallace had hardly begun his speech,
and had not said one word which could pos
tibly be offensive to any one but traitor. be-
fore he was interrupted by groans and cat
calls, and finally by stentorian cheers for
JEFF. Davis. For few minutes it seemed
impossible to avoid bloody riot, but some of
the more discreet Democrats managed to
suppress the natural instincts of their party
and Gen. Wallace was at last permitted to
proceed. Gen. Wallace declares that if this
statement is denied be can bring hundreds of
witnesses to prove that majority of the
Democrats at his meeting at Salem, on Sat-
urday, Aug. 9th, cheered loud and long for
Jeff. Davis,

THIS is much like the Lamar and Bob

read it one would never suspect that it was
the utterance of lips which had sworn to up
ho'd the Constitution and obey the laws

old JEFF. Davis-Lamar-Singleton treason. II is
from the Southern States, of Mississippi.

we say. 1t is SANDER upon the dead who

The wooden mills at Hartland started run

duction of wages; they cut down five per
cent.

chine shop on Gooch Island, which was recent
ly sold at auction, was purchased by Andrews
& Bragdon Biddeford They propose to occu-
Ply the shop for polishing granite and marble.
This polishing of granite will be new branch
of industry there. 1t may not be generally
known that granite is capable of taking on a
high polish. We believe there is but one es-
tablishment now in the state where such work
is done, and that is located at Augusta.

A VERMONTER IN PoRTLAND.-Mr. G. NJ.
Chase, editor of the Vermont Union, who was
in town last week, sends very interesting let
ter to his paper. From this letter we should
Judge be had "seen'' Portland to large ex.
tent and was pleased with the sight. His paper
contains the cards of about sixty of our whole
sale dealers. In speaking Of the business of
Portland he says:
In business point of view Portland far ex-
ceeded our expectation. 1t is city of wide
awake, enterprising merchants and business
men. A few years ago what is now CONNER
cial streets for over a mile in length. was under
water This has been built up from the sea
and lined on both sides with wholesale business
blocks. the main railways running through the
middle of the street, delivering heavy goods in
to the very doors of the stores. This saves
trucking from the depots, which wholesale
merchants consider an important point gained.
This is the main street in the city for heavy
trade and every hour in the day it presents
picture of lively business. Competition is al
ways active, keeping prices at the lowest point,
and all the traders ask of Vermont people is to
give them trial There are numerous large
houses embr acing every branch of the trade.
The city contains 30 business and mnufactur-
ing corporations, among the most extensive of
which are the Portland Rolling Mills, employ
ing force of 200 men and doing business of
100000 year. The Portland Co., for the
manufacture of locomotives and all kind of
railroad work. This company employs about
300 hands and sends its work all over the coun-
try. The Portland Kerosene Oil Co., capital
100000, with capacity to manufacture 4000,-
600 gallons The Portland Star Match Co..
Portland Machine Works, Forest City Sugar
Refinery, Presumpscot Iron Co., etc. Besides
incorporated companies there are many private
firms largely engaged in the manufacture of
all kinds of goods During the past ten years
manufacturing enterprises have been steadily
increasing, and at the present time the tenden-
cy to increase is stronger than ever. Portland
is determined to be one of the principal manu-
featuring points in New Enland.

10 ALL, particularly invalids, spring Is trying
season. Indications of sickness should at once be at
tended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by allow
ing the bowels to become constpated and the system
to remain in dsordered condition, until the disor-
der has time to develop ITSELF An ounce of preven-
ton is worth pound of cure is an old and truthful
saying. Therefore, we advise all who are troubled
with the complaints now very prevalent headache,
indigestion, disordered liver, want of appetite,
sea- or eversh skin, take without delay Schencks
Mandrake Pills. We know of no remedy so harm
less and decisive in its action 1t at once strikes at
the root of the disease and produces healthy tone to
the system. People never need suffer from any dis
arising from disordered condition of the liver
if they would take this excellent medicine when they
feel the first indications of the malady. Families
leaving home for the summer months should take
three or four boxes OF these pills with them. They
have an almost instantaneous effect. They will re-
lieve the patient of headache in one two hours,
and will rapidly cleanse the liver of surrounding
bile and will etfectualy prevent bilious attack.
They are sold by all druggists.

The MISUNDERSTANDING night the regular
season at the Museum came to close. the
'Shaughraun" being performed. AT lthe con-
cluson of the play Mr. Wheelock, in compli-
ance with request made, stepped before the
curtain and delivered in his inimitable manner
that fine poem, Shamus Brien, greatly to the
qualification of all present.
The season has been thirty-sx weeks in
length. and from q dramatic if not from pc.
cuniary point of view has been marked sue
cess The company has been a live one, the
plays well selected and admirably presented.
Mr.. Wyer has certainly spared no endeavors to
MAKE the Museum an excellent place of enter
tainment, and his efforts command hearty
praise.
This evening the great tragedy of Julius
Caesar" will be brought out at the Museum by
the famous company from Booths Theatre
The opportunity to see play like this present.
ed SO finely, is rarely offered, and is one which
no one can afford to neglect. -Four of the lead
ing actors in the country, Lawrence Barrett,
E. l.. Davenport, Frank Bangs and Mines
Levick, assume the roles of "Cassius," 'Bru-
tus, Anthony" aud "Ca sar," and they are
supported by full dramatic company. The
representation is by the best dramatic critics
held to be the most meritorous ever put upon
the American boards, and has everywhere
evoked enthusiastic praise. The acting is ad-
mirable, the cast could not be battered, and the
scenic effects are simply perfect. Indeed so
fine representation is given Of republican
Rome and its costumes that the professors and
students of Yale College went to New York in
body in order to see the play and embrace so
favorable an opportunity to study Romon an
Equities. We repeat that neither the lover of
fine acting nor the historical student can afford
to neglect the opportunity. Good seats may
vet be seemed The following is the cast:

difficulty of breathing. quinsy, phthisic, pain
in the side and breast splitting of blood, liver
complaint, bleeding of the lungs, and all dis
eases of the throat, lungs and chest, including
even consumption. 1t seems hardly necessa ry
to dilate at length upon the virtues of this fav-
orite remedy for all ths diseases of the throat,
lungs and chest. 1t was introduced to the pub
lie by DR.. Wistar nearly half century since,
and by the wonderful cures which it performed
gained an immediate and enviable reputation.
which to this day it has fully sustained. From
the gulf of the St Lawrence to the shores of
the Pacific, and in many countries abroad,
there are few villages or hamlets without civ
ing testimonials to the rapldity and certainty
of its curative effects. The propretors, mind
full of their responsibility to the afflicted, exer-
else the utmost care in the selection and COM
pounding of the various ingredients of which
the Balsam is composed; and the sick are
assured that the high standard of excellence
on which its popularity is based, will always
be maintained.

CONGRESS STREET M. E. CHURCH.

SON1hEoo CdUhCH.
The new pastor, Rev. M. M. Sterling, yes
terday preached from st. John xv,5: 81 am
the vine,ye are the branches He commenced
by saying that there were diffe rent opinions as
to what called forth this remark of our Lord.
Some think that it was vine over the church
door; others that it was vine that grew
against the house where the Passover was held.
But it would seem to be the grape vine from
which the grapes were gathered to make the
wine used for the feasts. At any rate the les
son taught is, the close relation that should ex-
ist between Christ and his followers. We can
not subsist as Christians outside of Christ,
any more than branch can live severed from
the vine. If we are closely connected to Christ
as the branches are to the vine, no duty will be
irksome no matter how mach of a cross it may
be. The discourse abounded in apt illustra-
tons and was listened to with the closest at
tention.
