HONOR TO WHOM HONOR Is DUE.-At the
recent railroad accident in New Brunswick-on
the New Brunswick s. Canada Railroad
where four persons were killed, the papers
mentioned an unknown hero and heroine. Two
Swedes were aboard the ill-fated train, Sven
Riogdall and Cara w. Julien, the latter a
girl Of 10 years of age. Both lost their b,g-
gage and we're severely bruised. They had
been residents of this city for several years and
had many friends among our citizens. 1t ap-
pears they were the hero and heroine
A gentleman, resident in Aroostook writes as
follows in regard to the conduct of these two
Swedes at the time Of the accident:
Your two Swedes behaved like hero and
heroine, through these awfll scenes. Their
pluck, GOODNESS aud work savei or helped
save, several lives. The man ceased work 10
the burning Car only when another second
would bave destroyed him. They are certainly
noble, both of them. From all | Can learn Of
the man aud woman, am satisfied there are
very few people who, nuder like circumst ances,
would have borne themselves so We'll and Kept
their wits under contrO SO perfectly aud to
such good purpose. But for thsir efforts
singly ard c0ublued, there would in all human
probability have beeo two more lost in that
car, and burned alive at that These two
"Swedes would redeem the whole colony.

The Sc Interviews,

The Portland Argus says: "Major Smith
denies that be told Lewiston Journal repoI-
ter that he had renounced the National finap.
cial doctrine. It is now in order for the jour.
nal to explain why it published such static
ment."
We published m9ly what Major Smith
said whether it BIS called remuneration or de-
nunci alton, and we did so because people
wanted to know and had right to know the
Majors views. We do not believe Major
Smith ever made the denial above alluded to.
His reporter was gentleman of undoubted
verscity, residing In Eastern Maine, dispatched
by the Journal to Oldtown expressly for the
purpose of securing Mr.. Smiths views, which,
it had already been affirmed, bad been con-
siderably modified since the Lewiston conveu-
ton. As to DR.. Gaicelon's views his own
words were taken down on the spot, and the
Doctor this week said to our reporter that the
interview was very correct. After three weeks
of discussion of these interviews in which
neither OF the interviewed gentlemen has
denied the accuracy of his reporter, it is
obviously the wish Of some who would have
pre- ferred the Major or DIR. Garcelon to have
said something other than they did say, which
gives rise to the so-called denials

THE STUDIOS.
Harry Browa's Summers work.

Few pleasauter ways of passing an afternoon
Can be found than by spending it in MIR.
Harry Browns studio. The studio itself is
picture, and paintings are seldom haudsomer
housed From the wall at one erd of the
loom the Mona Lisa looks down upon the visit
or with her fixed smile, and from the other
the severe face of the Nose of Michael Angelo.
All about are objects of interest, old bronzes
from Pompeii, Roman candelabrs, Japanese
metal work, decorated pottery and bits of rare
china. Sitting there and gazing at the sketches
and finished paintings that hang upon the
walls or cumber the floor, one fancies an artist
must be the happiest Of men. Mr. Browns
CHEEKY manner, as he discourses Of paintings
old and new, and gossps about brother artists,
or modestly replies to questions regarding his
own work, strengthens the fancy.
Mr.. Brown passed much of the sketchng
season at the Glen, under the shadow Of Mount
Washington, and has brought back some ad-
mirable sketches of mountain scenery One
view of the great range is to many, perhaps TO
all, the most satisfactory that has been given.
No wonder Ben, the mountain guide, exclaimed
at sight of it; "Thats the first time ever saw
the mountains in a pictured" Ban should
know, for he has piloted many artists up the
mountain sides, and curiously watched their
sketching Noticeable too is picture of the
Old Mill, showing genuine sentiment and daint-
lily handled, and another, Of the still brown
depths of the Garnet Pools The sketching
tour however was not confined to the White
Hills. The artist passed some time about Sc
5sgo Lake, and brought back charming studies
of the sinuous Songo and the lazy waters of
Crooked River The islands of cur harbor too
afforded him suga estions for those water and
fog effects in which he 80 much delights.
In the collection viii bs found pictures Of
unusual strength, and Of greai purity and bril-
lianey of Tone Mr.. Brown is not content to
settle down quietly as one having nothing more
to learn. He is ill-pleased if pictures painted
this year are not better than those painted last
year. He finds his reward for this latest work
of his displays delicate feeling for color, a
depth of sentiment, and frmness of hand
ling, SURPRISING anything be has before done.
The feeling for color is especially noticeable in
the delicious cool grays he introduces
