to satisfy you do any earthly good to continue such
discussion. must therefore decline any detailed or
specific reply yours Of the 2Sth inst, but at more
convenient time than at present, may publish in
another form or by an ordinary advertisement the
splendid results of of our Policies for series

most ncredulous, that our dividends have not only
been but continue to be larger than any other COM
pany. If you are able to furnish such results upon
similar Policies with your company doubtless you
will do and thus crafty, if not satisfy, many OF
your present and prospective Policy holders. In the
meantime while presenting the claims of your COM
pany do not fail to advise your patrons to take out

business in stealing daily papers to sell was up

pers left at the doors of subscribers. lie plead
guilty to the larceny of two particular bundles
and was sentenced to thirty days in Jail on each
coun', making an even two months of Jail life
for tho young man. This habit of stealing
newspapers is becoming growing evil and it
is only by imposing such heavy penal Ties that
it can be stopped. This punishment inflicted

others. The Portland Publishing Company

John Neal.

1t is never too late to lay laurel leaf upon
the tomb. On the Goth of June last, at the
ripe age of eighty three, John Neal, one of the
most noteworthy of American literateurs, pass
ed away. For sixty years the interchangeable
producer of series of more or less popular
works in prose and verse, the editor of some
and the contributor to many of the leading pc
riodicals of England and the United States,
and the personal acquaintance of several of the
best known literati of both nations, ohm Neal,
although he may have outlived most of his
early literary friendships and much of his own
his completed career. His whole life was
course of chivalrous enterprises He came to
London in order to nulify the sneer of sWho
ever reads an American book?'' and contrived
to arouse the attention of the British public by
his papers on American subjects, when such
things were new to Europe. He would seem
to have forsaken England because his articles
were not published as he wrote them. He re-
turned to America in 1927. intending to settle
in New York, but hearing that the citizens of
his native town, Portland, in Maine, would not
permit him to stay there, with his Characters
tic spirit he went and starred a newspaper-the
Yankee. His courage in the advocacy of un-
popular truths rendered him anything bnt
agreeable to his coDtemp orary native press,
whilst the candor of his criticisms created for
MIN nost OF unKnoWn, and generally anOny-
nous, assalants; but he lived to See all the
epbemerc cliques, cabals and regulations which
he had SO fercely attacked moulder into obliv-
ion. One Of his bravest acts was to decline
challenge sent him py Edward c. Pinckney,
one of Americas best versiiers, and son of one
of her best orators. This youthful midshipman
accused Neal of cowardice; but the mans ante
cedents were too well known, and his skill as a
fencer, boxer and athlete too noted for any one
to dIscTedit bis courage. Up to the last his
bravery and his intellect both retained their
pristine vigor. OF the former l have only re-
port to rely upon, but of the latter,L pledge my
personal correspondence. Some day, when
America has founded literature, she will have
to assign niche to John Neal as one of her
most honorable pioneers. London Athendeuna
