THE ring is hard at work now trying
to rally members in Council to prevent
the passage of the resolution in that
body, directing the City Auditor to ad-
vertise for proposals for doing the city
advertising. Their plan is to postpone
action as long as possible. Every days
postponement is robbery of the city to
the extent OF the difference between
what the ring papers are now charging,
and what they will bid, rather than lose
the work. They hope to put it off two
or three weeks yet, and the men they
rely on to help them out are

A Few Things that We Know

We know that disordered stomach
or liver produces more suffering than
any other cause. We know that very
few physicians ars successful in their
treatment OF these disorders. We know
that DaCOsta's Radical Cure will, with
out the shadow of doubt, almost i'm
mediately relieve and permanently cure
all OF these distressing symptoms. We
know of thousands who are willing to
testify that wnat we say is true to the
letter. We know that if you will give it
fair trial, you will let us add your
name to the "cloud OF Witnesses" Will
you give it trial, aud do it now? Trial

The coming Fourth OF July marks the

of ample preparations for grand old

expect others to come; but being assem-.

its praises by others, and 60 home bet

SO many ways and at SO
many different points that all
will have an opportunity for enjoying it,
and the most fastidious will find some
thing suited to his peculiar taste. There
will be orations, professions, fireworks
and balloon ascensions. The soldiery
will be marshaled in its strength and
beauty, and civic associations of a hun
dred different characters will take part
in the general jollifcation. All our
own people will find entertainment in
almost any way their inclinations
prompt, and many thousands at a dis

arrangements be made on as large a
scale as possible for bringing in our

A CURIOSITY,

Yesterday great curiosity was placed
on our table-a deeT's heart containing
the flint barb OF an arrow. Last Sunday
Mr.. e. Sharp, OF Arcata, was out on
Boynton's Prairie on deer hunt. He
saw large ive-point buck, and brought
it down with his rife. Taking off the
hide and securing the heart and other
rare bits, he started home. On arriving
there, Mrs. Sharp boiled the heart, and
when the meal was ready placed it on
the table. In attempting to cut the
heart, lhe knife struck against some
thing hard. The lady split the heart
open, and in the flesh part the flint barb
OF the arrow was found. 1t must have
been there for long time, as the flesh
was calloused all around it, and the
scar, where the barb entered, is plain to
be seen. This is quite u curiosity, as
only few such instances are known to
be on record Humboldt Col Times.

SUNDAY IN DEADNOOD,

On Sunday the people pour into Dead
wood from the adjoining camps, and
during the day the streets have the ap-
pearanCe of national celebration. On
closer inspection you discover that the
crowd is attracted by an auctioneer,
who has mounted barrel, and is CRYING
his wares-the accumulation OF every
kind of pawned property. On, The
other side the prize package man
holds out valuable inducements to gap
ing crowd, who, after listening to a haI =
angue of fifteen minutes, stand in awe,
with disappointment stamped upon
their countenances, to see the fortune
they might nave possessed mad they only
drawn the lucky packet he displays be-
fore them. Then the bands send out
lively music from the "nee-and-easys,"
while the merchants are busy bartering
their wares for gold to the duskY
miner. Every body is on the alert,
tramping 10 and fro, in and out, and Up
and down the mountains. Then, just
around The corner from this busy thrung,
the unpretentious building occupied for
church seads forth its echoes from tn
three or four score of worsAipers
there assembled, and many are the
hardy miners who here take opportunity
to thank God for health and success;
and all these, together with the conlu-
sion upon the streets, and yeIps Of dog
fights, reverberate over the hills. When
the weather is pleasant, groups OF two
and upwards are seen winding upon the
lowering bed-rocks, or climbing through
the mountain pines. To one not accus-
toned to this romantic region, such
dings-religion traffic, toll, and
pleasure going to make up Sunday
appear absurd in the extreme. But sucn
is mountain life, and in briet lime the
most lasliIious pilgrims from the more
Athenlan regions will become accus-
toned to and fascinated by tAem.-I Black

JUNE ROSES.

The Summer bright, the Summer fair,
The Summer sweet, serene, disel6ses
In all Its realm OF riches rare,
No other blooms that can compare
With June's delicious roses,
Springs cloudy DAYS and Summers heats
Come when life only gropes and pr0ses;
But life is redoleut Of sweets
When poetry the spirit greets,
And scatters sweet June roses.
Llfe's June-what shall we call those hours
In viii ch the soul, serene, reposes2
Their bloom dispelling gloom that lowers,
Thtir perfume stealing from loves bowers
All these are life's June roses.

IL see ms to me to be wise on the part of our
people to take some precautions now against
devastating confagration. There are some
arrangements that could be IeasiIy made that
would be inexpensive and very important.
One of them would be to have private hydrants
so placed and arranged that they could be
brought into play at moments notice.
There are in this town many places in the
rear of wooden buildings where many such are
crowded together, among which tire would
rage with great fury, with a start OF few
minutes, but which could be easily extin guish-
ed at first with a private hydrant was
looking to-day in the rear of some wooden
buildings at the corner of Exchange and
Federal streets-a great finder box,
The arrangement 1 mean would be pipe
from the main, II to 2 inches in diameter,
according to the length required and the inn
portance of the place, with an arrangement for
attaching rubber hose Of II inch diameter.
With such fan arrangement at any point
between Casco street and Washington street, a
stream could be thrown upon the roof OF any
two story house; and by taking the pipe upon
the roof the tallest stores in town could be
covered with water and protected perfectly
against storm of cnders. AT the beginning
of fire such an apparatus would command 1t
perfectly.
This is not mere theory; have such an APP
~
placed that with the quantity of hose always
ready to be attached to it, water can be thrown
to any part of my own premises, and upon eight
neighboring houses. This apparatus was
placed when the Sebago was taken into my
house. In this case the pipe is only 1t inches
in diameter, sufficient for the purpose because
no houses are very near; but where wooden
buildings are near each other, larger pipe
would be better. This hydrant is never to be
used except in case of fire. If few neighhors
should join in such an arrangement, the cost
for each would be very small.
Every house that has Sebago in it could
easily have pipe run up into the attic or even
upon the roof, from which short piece of hose
would enable one to keep the roof wet. and 9th
er roofs as we'll, if not too distant. There was
a hot fire in Commercial street some years ago,
and Capt Green preserved his premises with
small inch hose, by keeping the exposed sur
face of roof and walls constantly wet. There
are great many localities in town where the
risk of fire would be diminished one half, or
more, by such an arrangement. In my own
case consider the risk pothng; a fire upon
my own premises would be attacked att mo-
ment's notice from my own hydrant, and the
roof would be perfectly secure against fire,
storm Of cnders from any neig 1bonng fire
and my neighbours roof can also be kept wet by
the same stream. N. u.

THE CARY CONCERT is seldom that the
citizens of Portland have afforded them the OPP
portunity of doing good in so pleasant a way as
is offered by the concert for the benefit of the
st. John sufferers which comes off at City Hall
this evening. Portland has done nobly already
but thousand dollars can easily he added to
the fund if the lovers of good music will turn
out in Their accustomed numbers. Aside from
its object the merits of the concert are such as
to deserve the fullest patronage. Opportuni-
ties to hear Miss Gary do not occur often and
it is part of wisdom to take the fullest advan.
tage of those that are afforded. But in this
concert there will be the added pleasure of
hearing Miss Lewis and the Haydn Associa-
ton and Mr.. Hennig, the eminent performer
upon the violoncello. 1t is rare indeed that
an entertainment so attractive is offered to the
citizens of Portland.
