Agricultural Matters in Maine.

Maine is becoming pre- eminently Il
farming State. 1t is called the .'Pine
Tree State because of its large interest
in pine lumber, which in the past has
been quite extensive, but is fast dlmin-
ishing. Maine has its city of spindles-
LeWiston-only second to Lowell OF Fall
River. She has had her cities and towns
celebrated for ship building. They are
now in II decayng condition commercial
ly, or their capital and enterprise are
turned into other channels Of business.
The State has also fishing interests, of no
inconsidcrablc value. She has made Il
prodigious effort to change the natural
course of her growth from farming to
manufacturing and mercantile pursuits.
But it is evident that she was predeStined
to be Il farming State. The evidences of
this are manifest to the traveller, in the
large and handsome fields that stretch
along the public thoroughtares- the
amount of marketing done and in the i'll
creaSmgly extensive stock raising in the
State. The best OF beef steak can be had
in the markets here for twenty cents a
pound: new potatoes at a dollar per
bushel, and other things in proportion.
tons of the farming regions, and making
careful inquiry, we learn that the crops of
the State this year On the whole, are un-
usually good. Potatoes, which is the great
crop of Maine, are small yet from the
early drouths, but they are coming for
ward very fast, While the dreaded pest of
other localities, the potato-bug, has not
as yet seriously affected the crops here.
Hay is another important crop, and is un-
usually good-very much of it not yet Sc
sured This, US We think, is one of the
mistakes that Maine farmers have always
made, putting off the haying season too
late to secure the most and best quality
of hay The corn crop, which is always
of small Importance in the State, this
| year is unusually backward, owing to the
GOODNESS of the season, and does not
| promise large returns. Other grains are
very handsome, and will yield abundant
| ~. Wheat is regaining its old place OF
| Importance among the farm crops. Stock
raising is quite extensive. Some Of the
| finest horses in the country are raised in
| Maine, and more attention is being given
to thorough bred stock. On many farm
| the fine stock Devonshire oxen, the deli
cate Jersey and the Ayrshire COWS are
seen. Sheep are rapidly increasing in
number and greatly improving in kind
At every house, in village or country, is q
large flock Of fowls, and the amount o
eggs and poultry shipped to Boston mar
kets is surprising. The farming Interest
of the State has made Il great stride since
our boyhood days, spent on one of he1
farms. Maine is destined to be grea

A Good Night by the Sea.

Good Night The shadows gather on the sea-
The waves no longer show golden crest,
The winds low murmur sounds most paintivcly
Der its hushed breast
Like gray ghost the far sail vaguely shows
And gray all the islands in the bay:
No more the wave, as 'mong the rocks it flows,
Is crowned with spray.
The gus no longer float on circling wing
Above the reach Of shining wave-swept sand
No more we hear the songs the robins sing,
Along the land.
Nights sable banners. from the wood crowned hill
Float out in wide and heightened sombre lines
And in the distance, through the mist and chill
The lighthouse shines
The world is still the world has gone to sleep:
No more We hear the humming OF the bee
The flowers on the land their vigils keep,
The stars at sea
W hlle the flower perfume, with its subtle sweet,
And the bright stars with all their fires alight
Make the swift hours seem still more short and fleet
Ill say, Good Night!

The petroleum fills the pores of the wood,

Wax Works Experience in South America

Coup, the initials Of him w. c., the
manager of the New York Aquarium
and many other places OF amusement, in
the summer OF 1865 thought it would be
a notable StratagCm to take a WaX-WOrk
show illustrating the assassination of Lin
coin down to South America. According
ly he set out and exhibited, but the peo-
pie of South America were lamentably
lacking i'll appreciation of art or familiar
ity with American history, and the show
got into very shallow water. Finally, one
night the stern landlord levied upon the
baggage Of the troupe, and not only up
on their baggage, but upon their wear
ING apparel, which they had left off on
going to bed An indignant council of
war was held, and at , A. NJ, or there
abouts, the tropical stars looked down
upon a silent procession of men in their
nightshirts stealthily moving toward the
place where the great exhibition of the
assassination of Senor Lincoln by Don
Wilkes Booth had taken place. Break
ing open the doors they entered, stripped
the clothing from the ettigies of the Mar
tyr r-Presdent, his assassin, and the acces
sorry "tiggers," and, arrayed therein, set
out for the sea-coast. The hotel pro-
prletor was man of genius, and so he
repalnted the figures, arrayed them III
South American costume, called it a rep
resentation Of the murder of President
OF some local Republic bysome Pretender,
and made a fortune out of the show.

A Boston book-keeper who, on q year
ly salary Of $1,000 had by great econo-
my and self denial saved up 500 per
year, realizing the risk he run of losing his
health, situation and savings if he re-
manned a clerk, purchased small farm
and moved on to it. Charging himself
with all he and his family consumed from
the same during the year at the same
rates that he had formerly been obliged
to pay in Boston, to his great surprise he
found at the end of the year that he had
consumed $1,000 worth, besides having
sold quite an amount of farm products.
With such a result he had no desire to
return to his 81 200 position, depriving
his family and himself of such health and
comforts.

A long and anxious inspection seemed to satisfy
Schackoskoy and the chief of his staff that the
time had come when the infantry could strike with
effect.
Two brigades of infantry We're in the Radisovo
Valley behind the guns of Gen. TchekoTs brigade
the Thirty second division the right the First
brigade of the Thirteth division on the left. The
leading battalions ordered to advance over
the ridge to attack.
The Russian artillery fire maintained with
such vgor that it completely covered the column
when the intantrymen had crossed the crest and
were descending the slope and crossing the inter
vening valley to the assault of the Turkish posi-
ton Just before reaching the crest the battalions
deployed into line at the double quick, and crossed
in this formation, breaking to pass through the
tervals between the guns
The Turkish shells whstled through them us
they advanced in line, and the men We're already
slain in great numbers; but the long, undulating
line tramps steadily over the stubbles and crashes
through the underground on the descent. Beyond,
the skrmishng line is thrown out in advance
1t is a vertabe chase of fighting men, mpelled
by burning desire to get forward and come to
close quarters with the enemy, who is fighting Mt
them from behind the shelter of the epaulment
Presently, all along the face of the advancing in
fantrymen burst forth tlaring volleys of musketrv
fire The jagged line springs forward through the
maize fields gradually assuming concave shape.
A Turkish position is neared The roll of rifle fire

an energetic man We swore at what seemed his
inertness; but it not swearing only. Schac-

pendenty and to strike the Turks single handed
If Krudencr was slow Schackoskoy was rash. If
the whole force was too small for the work how
much more so was one-half that force
About half-past two the second period of the bat
tie began. 10 ascertain whether the artillery had
sufficiently prepared the way for the infantry to
act Schackoskoy and his staff rode on to the ridge
where our batteries firing, He had to dis
mount precipitately under hurricane of shell fire
which the Turkish gunners directed against the
little group.

not the men to balk ambition or daring The
word to advance was again given: and again the
men moved forward
The first rush was out Of the troops and many Of
them must have been blown They hung back ;t

progressing with much speed
