Fruit as a Medicine.

The importance to health of eating
plenty of fresh, ripe fruit at this sea-
son of the year cannot be too strongly
argued. Not imported tropical prod
ucts, but the fruit of our own latitude
and climate. Not green or rotten
fruit. All the patent pills and half
the physicians prescriptions for aver
age human indisposition are for one
simple purpose--to drain the system
of dead and injurious matter. Head
ache, dizziness, sluggishness, fever and
two-thirds of the symptoms which
precede some form or other of disease
have their origin in imperfect human
drainage. With vely large proper
ton of people, certain consumption
of ripe fruit, will regulate this econo-
my. 1t is better than any pill, for the
action so induced is regular and con-
slant in proportion to the supply. At
best, the action of any drug is spas
mode. 1t is only a choice between
two evils. Fruit is a food and medi-
cine also recommended by the palate,
1t nourishes and cleanses. Yet thou
sands of people live on year after year
whose daily experience is that of mot
feeling very well,' whose sole trouble
is more or less constipation. The
burden of their diet is meats, salt and
fresh, bread and potatoes. Thus they
go on perpetuallng their misery and
ignorant of the simple remedy within
their reach. Or to effect the necessary
action they use citrate, pills, aperients
and, occasionally, when an extra stop

toms occurs, a dose of salts and SIENNA,

The annual meeting Of the Industrial

Hallowell.
Hon. Simon Page declined reelection
as Treasurer on account OF ill-health.
The following are the officers elected -

Henry X. Baker, Hallowell; Benz

The school is in very prosperous con-
dition, and fully answers the purpose of
its proprietors. Since its commencement
II girls have been RECEIVED, all of whom
were committed by magistrates. The
present number is 49, being three more
than the building is intended to accomo-
date. A large number of the Il inmates
have been either indentured in good fam
lilies or adopted. The evidence shows
that at least ninety per cent. of all who
haye left the school have done well. More
than twenty applicants for admission have
been refused for want of accommodation.
Rev. Stephen Allen continues rs superin-
tendent. His services have proved to be
invaluable.

The Horrors of Plevna.

A correspondent OF the London Times,
who visited Pievna with the last supply
train which entered that fortress, gives s
graphic account of what he saw. His des-
rriptiou of the horrors of the road thither,
,trrwn with murdered Bulgarian OK driv-
er, OF the convoy that preceded the one he

crime probably was stealing TO save them
selves from starving, with their throats
cut and some stoned To de8th-makes ones

VA, Inflicted by O-man Pasha upon his
own wounded braves. Something more
than a thousand of these poor fellows were
living mixed together in a large building
wrlteriaL In uu>peaka6le filth, having
been lett without surgical or other attend
.ance for week. when the Engishmen
ss th the con voy made proffer to Osman
Pasha OF the services of the Stafford House
Society's volunteers and stores, and OF
those of the Red Crescent Society. The
Turkish commander declined the offer,
stating that he intended to send those suf-
ferers away to Sofia by the returning con-
vov, and he actually did seud away large
number of them.
The correspondent says: l was riding
down the street when the third convoy of
1000 started from the town, and | trust 1t
may never again be my fortune to witness
such miserable crowd as | saw there.
The wretchsd soldiers stretched out their
hands for pity and assistance as l rode by.
and, though | understood but little Turk
ish. the ptiful "Amddn" shrieked or
groaned, and the appealing hands and
writhing faces were more than eloquent.
The town is forlorn and distressing to
look upon. but the people have become ac-
Gu stoned to horrors. The camps around
the town are cheerful in comparison though
''the neglect of sanitary precautions and
OF decent consideration for the dead is at
once painful and shocking. The spectacle
Of dead bodies stripped absolutely naked
and left to rot, is not creditable to camp
which is otherwise well ordered. | have
not seen anybody in the near neighborhood
OF the camp which could identify as that
OF Turk, bnt the unburied corpses OF
Russian soldiers are by no means uncom-
mon even in places where their burial
would be at once safe and easy. Fever,
ague and dysentery are common diseases
not only among the troops, but among
those who, for charity sake, share their
hardships."

Vol. XIII. Whole No. l246, No. 81,

large a proportion of our present GRIM
inals and paupers come from foreign
ers. of whom we had comparatively
none, forty years ago. The increased
thriftiness of the people is very ap-
parent in the appearance of the dwell
ings.
Z. The great improvement in the
drinking habits of the people, is also
abundantly shown by the noticeable
reduction Of indications of intemper-
ance at all large gatherings of our
population. The older portion of our
citizens. whose observation and MEM
orv go back forty years, can bear wit
ness to the change wrought among our
people since the days of trainings and
musters. The Drunkenness, alterca-
tions and bloody affrays which were
then so common at large gatherings,
are now rare. 1t is no uncommon
thing now for crowd of 10000 per-
sons to gather on public occasions,
with scarcely half dozen instances of
intoxication. Forty, or even thirty
years ago, this was impossible.
Throughout the rural portion of our
state. comprising three-fourths of our
population, drunkenness is rare. At
raisings, bees ard rural gatherings no
liquor is seen, when formerly a supply
of rum was indispensable. At we'd
dings, social occasions and public din
ners, liquors are almost unknown.
Public opinion tabooes practice which
half century since was we'll nigh
universal. do not know of Protes-
tant clergyman in the state who does
not practice and preach total absti-
nence. Certainly the exceptions are
few and far between.
8. Not only my own observation
and yours but also the observation of
every public man, whose position has
given him an opportunity to know the
facts, sustain the whole drift of the
statistics | have presented. Every
governor, every senator and represen-
tativc in congress, every state officer
and every Judge. have, over their own
signatures, testified to the effect that
the sale and use Of ofintoxicating liquors
in Maine have greatly decreased within
forty,thirty nd even ten years. Every
county attorney and every sheriff has
borne similar witness. No man OF
prominence in Maine, willing to risk
his reputation for truth and sanity,ard
to come before the people to show the
grounds of such an assertion, will as
sumo the paternity Of the reckless al
legation that there is proportionately
rs much liquor sold and as much in
temperance in this state as ever.
On the contrary statistics, observa-
ton and reason show there is not pro-
portionatcly one-tenth of the liquor
sold an Il used in this state that was
forty years ago and that drunkenness
pauperism, and crimes of violence hav-
ing their origin in the use of liquor,
have largely decreased. The improved
good ordcf when pfepdssv tbe-external
gatherings, the absence of open grog-
shops, the healthy public opiniou, and
above all the large number Of former
drinking men whose names are enrolled
on the iron clad pledges of our Tenn
perance Reform Clubs, all confirm the
glorious tidings, and bear witness to
the wonderful progress which has been
made in advancing the cause Of tenn
perance.

A Poem.
The flower that blooms the brightest,
Is seen the first 10 fade;
The form that moves the lightest,
In earth Is soonest laid;
The bird that sings the sweetest.
First droops away and dies;
And happy hours are fleetest,
Beneath the lower skies.
Inc vow' 'hafs sealed the strongest.
VIII soonest wear away;
And things will last the longest.
which soonest should decay;
The heart that ne'er knew trouble,
Has every thing to learn,
For life is but bubble,
From the cradle to the urn.
There Is n world of glory,
Where pleasure never dies;
Where the youthful, and the hoary,
With praises rend the skies;
Where crystal streams are leapiug
Ger the crimson onyx stone;
And where the voice Of weeping,
Is never, never known.
Then maiden. NAV you cherish.
Tbs, pearl OF mstehless price;
Which. when your form shall perish,
Can buy you paradise;
When nights dark shadows never,
Fall down upon the plain;
And where the saints forever,
With crowns Of glory reign.
