There are many speculations in
dulged in by all classes of politicians
in relation to forming a new party in
the South, to embrace the better class
OF adherents to both parties now
existing.-Piiot
That, Of course, would leave the
Pilot crowd ont in the cold. But
there are no such specuations indulg-
ed in by any except Republicans. The
united South is more firmly united
than ever. The seductions of office
may induce few worthless scoundrels
to turn traitor, in order to secure petty
appointments under Hayes, but the
great mass of Southern people hate
Radicalism with more bitter haired
today than ever before, and they will
stick together and fight radicalism
until it is swept from the face of the
earth. There will never be another
Radical elected to Congress from o
Southern State, ard as Returning
boards will be done away with, and
the Federal army kept from the polls,
the next Democratic candidate for
President will receive the electoral
vote of every Southern State. The
South is now in a position to take
care of herself. and she is not going
to allow q few Radical politicians to
seduce her into the formation of new
parties. You must get up some other
scheme, Mr. Pilot. You might as
well undertake to dam up the Missis-
sippi River as to divide the Democracy
of the Southern States.-Brandon

A New York letter says: "Tbere

and his heirs are very numerous
indeed. He left q fortune of some
$l4 1000, 900, and of course the heirs
are not all of one mind as to the
distribution of it Some of them are
now raising a row in Court because
they cannot get enough money to
support them in reckless extravaganza.
Here is one young man of eighteen
whose mother says be ought to have
at least five hundred dollars per month

THE PATH OF SAFETY,-There

THE PATH OF SAFETY.-There is
but one road to happiness and pros
perity, for either individuals or q
nation, and that is economy aud faith
ful persistence in the legitimate paths
of business. The riches that come in
an hour generally 60 in an hour, and
do more harm than good. Hence we
call upon all good people to unite in
an effort to stay the tide of wild ex-
cess. Let a man be frowned upon in
society when it is known that be is
living beyond his means. Let all
noble and true women express their
distrust at the extravsgant and inde-
cent display Of the followers of
fashion. And so shall the nation be
saved from the milestone that has
dragged other republics to destruction;
SO shall our young men find a larger
and nobler devotion than that of

not wholly desert American woman

The President Who Talks.

The train came to a standstil in the station

cold gray dawn of Washington morning.
No one was there to welcome bim-not even

him Of bis travelling bag, an eight by seven
affair, containing a tooth brush, tract, and a
copy of the collected speeches of Andrew

and Of bis umbrella, ,be represe ataiives of au

OLD ORCHARD CAmP.MEETING.
First Day.

They have standing jest in New York that
the Quakers always bring rain at their yearly
meeting. During their visit here it
will be remembered that the heavens were
sombre enough in dress to please the most
conservative wearer of sober colors, and it was
usually expected by all attendants at camp
meetings that the Lord will send His rain on
the just and unjust. Such certainly was the
experience of all at Old Orchard Yesterday.
The day opsned with leaden skies and a dense
fog. which occasionally blew away enough to
give reason to hope that it would 'burn away,"
yet so dark appeared the prospect that few
were present at the morning services.
The first meeting of the day was the six
o'clock prayer meeting at the stand conducted
by r. Pearsall Smith of Philadelphia. Ats.3O
DR.. Cullis held social meeting in the building
of the Biddeford society, which was largely at
tended.
AT 1890, after very interesting praise meet
ing led by 0. T. Garter Of Boston, r. Pearsall
Smith of Philadelphia, preached from 1st Cor.
vi, 18Th. The sermon, which was listened to
with great deal of attention, was practical
personal application of the truths of the text to
the lives OF the hearers. 1t was expected that
Mrs. Smith would conduct B bic reading at
the stand at o'clock, but the weather was SO
threatening that it was thought advisable to
meet in the tabernacle and the audience had
hardly gathered when the floods came and the
winds blew and beat upon that tabernacle, and
in an instant soaked it SO thoroughly that all
anprovided with umbrellas were severely
drenched. 1t was absolutely impossible to at.
tempt to hold any meeting, and till the torrent
ceased the time was occupied in social singing
At 730, in the Blddeford house, Rev. DR..
Daniel Steele of Lynn, Mass, gave a G reek
Testament tense reading, showing that entire
sanctlfication is a momentary and completed
work OF the Holy Spirit in opposition to the
doctrine that believers must be always SHINING
and repenting. The Aorist tense ia the follow
ing passages proves thf: Mat. 80, 8; 1436;
1926, 26; ID Cor. II; John II II to 10; Rom
6 and 10; IS a. 12.1 1st Pct. 2. 5; Acts 1853;
LIST Cor. 81; GIL; Gal. 1920; Eph 4, 1918;
COL 3.5. Is, IL as contrasted with verses IA, Is,
II to %. The remarks of DR.. Steele showed
accurate scholarship and intimate acquaintance
with his subject. and were fully appreciated by
his hearers.
Among the more notable arrivals yesterday
were Rev. Isaac See of Newark, N. j., who is
now under trial by the Presbytery of New Jer-
sey for permitting woman to preach from his
pulpit, and Campmeeting John Allen. Mr.
Allen is now 80 years old and the present is his
271st camp-meeting. Last year he attended
nine
Notwithstanding the bad weather yesterday
the opening of the meeting indicates that it will
be one of the largest and most interes ting ever
held at Old Orchard. DR.. Steele will preach
this morning at 10 80, and Mrs. Smith will con-
duct the afternoon Bible reading.
A letter has been received from Rev. A. B.
Earle, the celebrated Evangelist, stating that
he will preach Sunday.

The Affairs of A. X. r. Lord

An adjourned meeting of the creditors of A.
K. P. Lord of Buxton, who recently suspended
was held yesterday afternoon at the United
States Hotel, About fifty of the principal
creditors were present. The meeting was call
ed to order by D. Ell. Hastings, Esq., Of Frye
burg, who acted as chairman. M. M Batter,
Esq, appeared for the creditors, and S. G.
Strout, Esq, was present in behalf of Mr..
Lord. FL. A. Piper of Boston. represented the
creditors in that vicinity
The committee appointed at the last meet
ing to investigate the affairs of Mr.. Lord made
formal report, from which it appears that
Mr.. Lords property is valued as follows: Logs
and lumber $4,000, real estate $685. 900, stock
of goods $4,000, personal property $1,000,
making total of $141 800 His liabilities are
put at 1925 900. His showing if correct would
make him perfectly solvent, but some of the
creditors say that some of the property is rated
entirely too high, The real estate for instance
it is said would not bring much more than half
the amount named if it was put in the market.
After some discussion it was voted to give Mr..
Weld of West Buxton the power of attorney
to take charge of the affairs of Mr.. Lord for the
next ten days, during which time Mr.. Lord is
to look over his affairs and prepare to make his
creditors proposition. The meeting adj urn.
ed for ten days.
