Register of Deeds.

Mr.. Editir.-This important county Office, is
to be nominated at the convention to be held
on the 10th inst, and at the caucuses tonight
the Republicans will be called upon by their
choice OF delegates, to express their opinion in
reference to this, the most responsible Office in
the county. A vague idea exists in the minds
of the community that no particular qualifca-
ton or training is necessary for the proper dis
charge of the duties of that position, other than
ordinary clerical attachments, and undoubtedly
candidates will be presented and their claims
advocated on other grounds than acknowledge
ed ability to FIJI such delicate station. The
magnitude and transcendent Importance of that
Office is at once seen, when we consider that the
entire real property of the county passes
through it for registry at Leaf once Sin gen.
Grafton, some of it many times. The many in
terests now and in the future, that are involved
in its proper and faithful ministration, would
seem to require that in the selection of a candi-
date all other considerations should be lost
sight of, except of those of the highest ex-
perience and most ample qualifications for the
complete discharge Of its duties.
With all due Difference to the merits of the
various gentlemen who are presented IS candi.
dates for tbs office Of Register Of Deeds in
view of the suggestions previously made, and
the principles therein laid down, cannot but
think that Mr.. John T. Hull presents in the
highest degree the essentials necessary for the
correct and faithful performance of the duties
of that Office. He will be strongly supported
for the position by that class of our citizens
whose duties enable them to be couversant with
the requirements of that place. To the citizens
of Portland, it is unnecessary for me to say
anything in his favor Byteducation and prac-
tical experience the duties of Register of Deeds
are perfectly familiar to him. He has in years
past served the city in many important posi-
tions, with great credit to himself and ad-
vantage to the people. His services
during the war were especially valuable
to the city and state. In addition to other
duties, he was employed as the city's recruit
ing agent, and paymaster of city and state
bounties, under the direction of Mayors
Thomas and Mcclellan, and the proud position
that Portland occupied during that time in its
financial policy, its calls for soldiers and the
protection given them was largely due to the
care and fidelity with which he executed
the trusts reposed in him. A recognition of
his past service by the citizens Of Portland and
the county would be specially appropriate at
the present time and would be justly appre-
ciated by his many friends. In conclusion L
can only say that if nominated and elected to
tie office of Register of Deeds, he would bring
industry, attention to its Duties and
thorough, practical knowledge of its details.

PhysicaI CuIture for women.


1t Miss Won Hillern's pedestrian feats which
have excited SO much interest in the COM
munity, shall have the effect to permanently
nix the attention of women on the deslrabillty
OF improving their physical efficiency and thus
giving health and strength not only TO them
but to the coming race she will have accom-
plished good missionary work. 1t Is doubt
ful, however, if walking only will reach the
point desired. To be sure it secures move
ment in the open air, which is good; but IL
fails to exercise all the muscles and to give the
general strength and tone to the system which
is wanted. As an adjunct to other exercise it
is most valuable. There are many women
who from weakness of back or other cause are
unable to walk enough to afford any appre-
ciable exercise. Something is wanted TO so
far improve their condition that walking may
be easy and agreeable, and thus produce good
results.
This obvious want is very fully met by exer-
else on the Health lift machines which have
been SO strikingly useful to many of our citi-
Zens of both sexes This exercise brings gently
into play all the muscles of the body, i'm
proves the circulation of blood and is free from
"-i ouo uanSefs CI StraiES, oFoi eA0Auion al" "a
haustion, which are SO likely to be features of
ordinary exercise. 1t is adapted to those who
are physically weak, and speedily brings them
into condition to take other kinds of exercise
without danger. 1t is unqualI6edly recon-
mended for thoss who care for the good of
their bodies and are not able to take violent or
exhausting exercise like walking or rowing.
ANY who are interested to look into the mat
ter can see the machine at Mr.. Gaubert's
rooms on Middle street. 1t is good thing and
well worth examining.

BASE BALL.-The game at Presumpscot Park
Saturday afternoon between the Our Boys of
Boston and the Reds of this city was not very
brilliant affair. The home club was composed
almost entirely of new men and were obliged
to call on Campbell of the Dirigos to catch.
Although his hands were in a very bad condi-
tion he played very we'll. The first of the game
the Reds played very well, but they soon got
thoroughly demoralized, and thel Boston club
beat them to 2.
The Unas beat the Unas, Jrs., to Satur-
day.
The Painters of the Cape beat the Dread
naughts of the game place, 9 to g.
At Cumberland Centre the Freeports of Free
port beat the Atlantics of this city 10 to 5. The
return game will be played in this city next
Saturday.

Obituary.

Mr.. EDITOR The following rotice of vel
known lady, formerly of your state, from the
Atlanta (Ga) Constitution. will doubtless in
terest many readers of your paper;
Died in this city, August 4th, after briei
illness of typhoid fever, Nellie O., wife of j. G.
Kimball, Esq, aged 43 years.
This estimable lady, whose death it is oul
painful duty to record, was native of Maine
she resided many years of her life in New
Haven, Conn.,, and the past eight years ha:
been resident of this city. In her deatf
those who knew her best have sustained al
iRestimable loss. Her life during her residence
here has been one of sacrifice and devotion tt
the suffering and destitute around her. Non,
ever applied to her for relief who were turned
away without aid and sympathy. Many I'M
fortunate families have been cared for fol
months from her store room, and nursed will
her gentle hands and loving heart.
Long before the Benevolent association O.
our city was organized she was an active
worker In the cause Of charity. When thai
good work was begun she was one of thu
prime movers, working as one of its directresse.
for many months. and nobly performing he
duty in the work. When the Benevolent
Home work was begun she was found, as ever
ready with her material aid and sympathy to
assist IN founding that institution, and TO
many, many months her daily contributions Il
the SICK and afflicted there were its main sus
teDance.
When compelled by pressing family cares tt
resign her position as one of the board of man
ayers, she constantly continued her contribu
tons, and has always been hearty sympa
thizer in this charity.
Her gentle piety, unostentatious charity
quiet, loving disposition endeared her to al
classes who had dealings with her; but NOR
especially did these loving qualities endear he
to ner devoted family. How can they realize
10 these the first hours of their aff1icton, tina
their loss is her gain. May He who doeth al
things well comfort her heart-stricken hus
band and sorrowing children is the earnest
prayer OF one who has long known and lovet
her.

MANY who are suffering from the effects of the
warm weather and are debilitated, are advised by
physicians to take moderate amounts of whisky two
or three times during the day. In little while
those who adopt this advice frequently increase the
number of "drinks," and in time become confirmed
inebriates. A beverage which will not create
thirst for intoxicating liquors. and which is intended
especially for the benefit of deblitated persons,
whether at home or abroad, is DR.. Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic Containing the juices of many medic
ina herbs this preparation does not create an appe
tite for the intoxicating cup. The nourishng and
lifesupporting properties Of many valuable natura
productions contained in it and well known to medi-
cal men have most Strengthening influence. A single
bottle ofthe Tonic will demonstrate its valuable quail
ities For debility arising from sickness over
tion or from any cause whatever, wineglassful of
Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals will strengthen
the stomach and create an appetite for wholesome
food. To all who are about leaving their homes, we
desire to say that the excellent effects of DR..
Schenck's seasonable remedies, Sea Weed Tonic,
and Mandrake Pills, are particularly evident when
taken by those who are injuriously affected by
change of water and diet No person should leave
home without taking supply of these safeguards
along. For sale by all Druggists. au1eod&w1m

A NOVEL ENCAMPMENT.--For the past week

A NOVEL ENcAMPMENT.-Fo the past week
the boys of the Reform School have been en-
joing the unusual pleasure of camping out at
the islands. They have had the entire freedom
of Little Chebeague Island, and that they have
had fine time there can be no doubt. Satur-
day afternoon Superintendent Wentworth treat
ed them to fine clam bake, which was a nov
city to many of them. The idea of Reform
School boys camping out at the islands and sit
ting down to clam bake is something new,
and perhaps was never heard of before, but
then Mr.. Wentworth is constantly introducing
new features into the management of this
school, and they have all proved successful.
Yesterday Camp-meeting John Allen preached
twice to the boys, and from the interest shown
by them his were not lost and will not be soon
forgotten.
