Elk DETECTIVE SCoTT.-This is the way the
Kennebec Journal gets at man named Scott,
who it will be remembered viste d this city a
few years since:
Old hummer Scott, who few years ago
spent some time in Augusta, has lately been
appearing at large temperance meeting, in
which he told what he pretended to know
about drunkenness among the omen moving
in the higher circles of Boston. He is well
acquainted with women of taste and refine
ment, has been in the habit so long of ming
ling with such, that no wonder we see him re-
ported as saying that the prevalence of drunk
enness among women in the upper strata of
society in Boston "was something beyond the
widest hopes of the most ardent tolal abstin-
ence orator." We remember that when the old
blow-hard Scott came to Augusta it was as a
lecturer on the beauties and moral lessons of q
panorama representing something with title,
''The New Pilgrims Progress" lie became
80 much attracted by the place that as the show
dsorganized, he came to the unfortunate de-
cision to settle himself down here. He had
been on the Boston police, he said, for 16 years,
and never speech did Scott make without Of
ten reminding his hearers of that interesting
portion of his life. His misfortune here, we
think, was in undertaking a job fol, which he
had ample corporocity, but lacked most de-
plorably In brain power. Licensed as an auc-
tioneer, he was going to put Jones out of the
business in q fortnight; relying on his expert.
ence as policeman, Frank Harrington would
have to yield to him the badge of the city
marshal in less than year. Thus the old
hummer obtruded himself, in season and out of
season, upon the community until he disguised
decent people, and rogues didn't want to as So
cate with him as he had no money. He
preached temperance, he talked and cried and
prayed in prayer meetings, and gave "illus.
trated'' lectures before Sunday Schools; but
somehow people didn't make any paying in
vestments in him, and so he left town. The
last we heard of him before his turning up at
the temperance meeting in New York, he was
travelling with collection of burglars tools.
We have only mentioned his case for the pur-
pose of showing how persons engaged in the

An Entertainment at the Ottawa H ouse
A very interesting entertainment was given
at the Ottawa house, Cushing's Island Sat.
urday evening, as will be seen by the following
programme which we give below. The read
ings, music and songs would have been credit
able to any assembly. The following is the
programme.

Chair taken at O'Clock. "'''''
The address of the chairman in verse. altho'
impromptu was well given, and no doubt all
will recprocate in the sentiment expressed.
The address was as follows:
There are times in ones life when tho hearts deep
emotion,
Shows its power and its strength I'm deeds of deyo-
ton;
When for country kindred, when for friendship or
home,
onei will wander through forests or cross oceans
foam;
One will mantully suffer or manfuly die,
If the fight be with evil and right be the cry.
But times, too there are in this world of strife,
When men seek repose from the dull cares Of life;
When the city is left with its noise and its glee
To drink the pure breeze as it comes from the sea-
To wander through wild woods and climb over rocks
To have ones frame charged with pure saline shocks
To watch the wild breakers that dash on the Shore
And regret (who can help it when the wild dream il
Ger.
And times, too there are, even in dull. fogg,
weather,
When kind loving spirits oft brought together;
When daily and gladly the heart speaks to heart,
And the friendship remains though the friends ave-
to part.
Such time is the present. when this island shore
So many friends meet who ne'er met before;
And though feet be the meeting even heet as day,
Fond memory will cherish the remembrance for aye
This evening of reading, and music, and song,
Is one which we all will think upon long;
Long after the echoes have all died away,
Will we dream of the music the song and the play
While welcome we render to those who SO bright,
Form part of our band for the first time Tonight
We cannot forget those who left us to-day
The DR.. and his excellent wife-Mrs. jay.
And shall we not hope that the two mighty powers,
Represented tonight in this gathering of ours,
Shall ever be powerful, by land and by sea-
I The fear of oppressors, the hope OF the Free
And shall we not hope that now and forever,
These powers like true friends, shall be weddod to-
gether;
With the Jack and the Stripes on each ocean un
furled,
United, the safety and hope of the world.
