In MEMoRIAM the death of little Alice
Granger Libby, yesterday morning, there
persisted the hope and promise Of an excep-
tionally bright life. So great is the blow that
it is yet hard 10 comprehend that it has fallen,
and that all the cheerful prospects and fair
anticipations of long aud happy life for the
darling child ere naught. She was singularly
lovable and attractive, strong healthy, viva
cious and remarkably mature for her years in
thoroughly wholesome way. While she was
great favorite with children of her own age,
fond of sports, and entering upon all things with
hearty zest and relish, she had also very many
adult friends of whom she was fond, and who
were strongly attached to the beautiful and
interesting little girl. Her characteristic and
delightful ways and expressions will long re-
main fresh in the minds of all who knew her.
1t is rare that SO young child leaves SO many
sincere mourners and is the source of SO many
tender memories. Her years were few, but
che was much loved by many persons. The
wide circle of friends who knew and loved her
sympathize deeply with her parents and kin
folk in their great afliction.

A SMALL FIRE.-About $3.50 yesterday morn
ing fire was discovered in the cellar of the
apothecary store of Charles B. Baker, on the
corner of Middle and franklin streets. One of
the dodgers in the tenement over the store first
discovered that something was wrong by the
volume OF smoke issuing from below and rush
Gu 10 the street for aid. Officers Hicks and
flckett went in and soon discovered fire in the
cellar. gas light had been left burning close
to WALL and the sheathing had caught fire.
In addition, large basket that evidently con-
tanned combustbes had been placed near. The
combustibles had nearly burned up the basket,
had burned hole in the floor, and the fire was
running up the partition, If the fire had not
been discovered as it was, the block would
have been destroyed. The damage will perhaps
amount to $50 or $100.

| PREsUMPsCoT PARK.-The trot at Presump-
scot Park yesterday afternoon was rather a
| slim affair, as in fact the majority OF them
have been this season. There was but one
| race and small crowd was in attendance The
horses contesting were Mllinockett, Phil Sher-
dan and Tom B. Patchep. 1t was announced
that the horses would be started promptly at
2.30, bat it was just fifty-seven minutes later
when they were given the word. On coming
up for their positions Millinockett was given
the pole, Sheridan second and Patchen third.
They scored ten times, occupying fifteen min
utes, and were then given the word. Phil took
the lead at the first turn, and held it easily
throughout, winning in 374, with Patchen
second and Millinockett in the rear.
On the second heat the order was reversed.
Patchen took the pole at the first turn and led
the entire mile, winning easy in 36. The
third heat was about the same as the second,
Phil, however, came up on the back side and
pressed Tom for little time, but soon fell back
leaving Tom an easy winner in 2 3l3. In the
fourth heat Phil ran several times and acted
badly, again allowing Tom his own way.
Patchen won in 232, and this closed the race.
Milinockett acted very bad and was third each
time.
What the stakes were, if any thing, it was
hard to tell. Some said that the owners of the
horses each put up $50 and the proprietor of
the track the same, making 5000, while one of
the hostlers declared there was no money up,
but the race was only for the gate money and
to prepare for the Lewiston races for next week.
He said that the only reason why such good
time was made was that Bailey aud Scribner
got mad and then they trotted to beat each
other. Bailey accused Scribner of running his
horse, while Scribner said that Bailey beloved
like steer to brighten his horse. The driver
of Millinockett could have very properly COM
planned that both of the others tried to kill his
horse scoring. Taken altogether it was very
brilliant injecting" but it is hardly worth
summary.

The Whining Man.

Ii there is a cowardiy trait in hui
man nature more disagreeable than
any other it is whining. This man
who goes from home whining and
fault-finding to meet his business
perplexities; whining because times
are hard, whining because his plans
fail, and, to believe his own surly
disposition, is burden upon his
friends and tie community in which
he lives. ''You can't expect any
thing better from people now days. :"
ooh you ought to see them admin
lister justice back east" "This is
no place for an honest man," and so
the croaker goes on fulfilling his
mission of grumbling and whining
year in and year out. Give us a
man-and q woman, too, for that
matter-who have the gift to carry
their burdens without whining.
There are no successes that come to
people without labor, through years.
The whining men and women seem
to see nothing in the past, nothing
to hope for in the future-always
prophesying misfortune and ruin to
the whole country, and sickness,
rheumatism, and ague to every in
habitant. We dread their coming
and welcome their going.-Harper's
Monthly.
