Before our next issue the merry season OF
Christmas will be among us with its attendant
troupe of festivities. 1t is season when
good cheer and happiness reign SUPREME
period of joyfulness which bubbles up through
the years cup of strife, labor and contention,
bringing with it the birth of new hopes and
the refreshment of hallowed memories. A
season when all should wear the expressions
of peace, rest and happiness.
The anniversary of the birth of Christ A
day for thanksgiving and joy! Make child
hoods innocent face light up into beaming
happiness in anticipation of bountiful Kris
Kingle; may noble motherhood find sincere
delight in the prospect of The reunion of her
scattered flock; may old ege find pleasure
from the smiles provoked of memories of other
days; the middle aged man, whose spirits and
passions are warped by the 6xedness and stern
ness of life's battle, should unbend and let the
unrufiled front Of peace succeed the knitted
brow of thought and effort. And in the midst
Of all our enjoyments, our good cheer and re-
unions, let us remember that there are ihous-
auds whose hearts are unresponsve 10 the

their better feelings are stihed and muffled
by want and suffering. 10 the fullness of
your possessions remember the poor.
The SENTiNELs greeting is fervent wish

ment may find welcome, and that TO our

Death of Charles a.K.ord.

Charles Austin Lord, one of the best known
and widely respected citizens of Portland, and
for many years editor ard proprietor of the
Christian Mirror, died at his residence on Coz
gress street yesterday, after an illness Of many
months, at the age of u years.
Mr.. Lord was born in Ksnne bunkport May
II, 1906, and was graduated at Bowdoin Col
lege in the classof 1926. He began life as book
seller in New York city, but after few years
in this business went to Kansas and published
paper for short time In 1851 he came to
Portland to assist Rev. Asa Cummings in the
conduct of the Christian Mirror. Mr.. Cum
minds, who had then edited that paper for 80
years, was fAilng 10 health, and most of the
duties of editor fell upon Mr.. Lord. In 1858
Mr. Cummings died and Mr.. Lord assumed sole
control. his management was characterized
with rare ability and good judgment, and uu-
der his charge the Mirror became an influential
Congregational organ. Mr.. Lord continued to
edit the paper until 1874 when he sold it to
Col. f. E. Shaw, who conducted it for a short
time. Since retirement from the Mirror Mr..
Lord has been enjoying a wsll-earned rest.
His health began to fail number of months
ago.
Mr.. Lord married a sister of e. j. LIBBY,
Esq, of this city, and she with four daughters
and one son survives.

the crowd. AS they come down passed the

cations OF causes, vagueness OF purpose, mul.
tlpllcity OF theories and opinions, make such en-
terprlses their currents turn away and lose
tne name OF action" Temperance reform is
CONFRONTED by no such difficulties
Another most favorable aud important con-
slderation is that it proceeds against az aItf
ciai evil, aims to heal self-inficted wound on
society.
We are frequently told that the craving for
Stlmulants is universal and natural, and that
whatever injurious and deprecable consequences
may result to society from INDUCING it, under
reasonable restrictions, they must be borne with
phllosophic spirit as the infections of other
passions are. 1t is the part of manly virtue to
submit unmurmurngly to the inevitable 1t is
base and cowardly to yield to the evil that may
Dc overcome. The craving for stimulants is
not natural desire, for the object of the cray-
ing Is not natural production. The cunning
OF man evolved the poison from innocent and
useful gifts of nature, and use begot the over
mastering appetite. Why, then, is it uureas
ouaole or hopeless to attempt to retrieve the
mistake? Besides, the great plague of drunk
enness Is of comparatively recent origin. A
iats historian tells Us that England was
not seriously affected by it until within a hund-
red and fifty years. Although indignant pre-
tests have been raised from time to time
against suffering the corruption that was over
whelming the land, the last few years have
witnessed, both in that country aud in our
own, the first systematic and combined efforts
to stay the tide. AT present, therefore, it is
reasonable 70 look for progress, not for entire
success. If it shall require hundred years to
recover the ground that was lost a century aud
q hall ago, the reward is well worth the long
contest, and and an immortal army, recruited
and strengthened from each fresh generation,
will cheerfully and voluntarily do better for it
in the end.
AT the close of this splendid speech By the
Governor the hearty thanks oil the association
were extended to Governor Conuor for his
words OF wisdom upon the occasion.
Responses were made by Rev J. Benson
Hamilton of Lewiston aud Rev. q. B. Pitblado
OF Portsmouth, N. 81 4, who spoke in very

with choir songs, rendered By the Colambia's

cores from the audience.

A Lively SqualI.

The squat which passed over this vicinity
yesterday afternoon was was very brisk while
it lasted and there were several narrow escapes
from serious if not fatal accidents. A tree on
Chestnut street was torn down and two large
limbs blown from trees in the Park. On the
water the squall came with but moments
warning. Mr.. Nathan Roberts and Mr.. Eaton.
of the firm of Jackson & Eaton, were sailing
in a small yacht near Trefethen's landing
when they were caught by the wind. They
tried to lower the sail, but before they could do
SO the boat canted and filling, sank almost in
stantly. Mr.. Eaton could swim and succeeded
in keeping hiaself above the water, but Mr..
Roberts sank several times until at last he saw
the mast sticking about two feet cut of the
water. He managed to reach it and kept
above water until rescued by boat from the
shore.
The yacht Spy was near the breakwater at
the time and it was with great difficulty that
the sailing master got her sail down in time to
prevent her from capsizing.
A boat capsizsd near the ferry landing on
the Cape side containing two boys named
Steele and Burroughs. The ferry boat put
back from this side and rescued them.

A FINE AND ENTHUSIASTIC CON
VENTIgN.
What an Outsider Saw.

BELFAST, Aug. z, 1878.
Mr. ED1ToR:-Hon. Eugene 81 ale was re-
nominated for his sixth term by the largest
convention he ever had during his Coz
OCCASIONAL career. Hon. Axel ayford, ex-
Mayor of Belfast, moved his nomination by
acclamation. This motion was received by the
convention on rising vote, every man in the
convention springing to his feet as though he
had determined to stand by Mr. Hale in his
endeavors to sustain honest money and
fulfillment Of all cur national obligations.
When Mr.. Hale entered the hall escorted by
Gen. Tillson and w. w. Castle, Esq, both of
cratic rebellion, one in the army and one in
the navy, the convention was wild With
enthusiasm and amid the applause on the floor
of the convention and the fine strains of music
from the Rockland Band, the scene was stirring
indeed.
Mr.. Hale acce pied the nomination with
brief speech pledg ing himself to combat the
Greenback heresy with argument, intending
to traduce no man but fully determined to do
what he could to explain to the many deluded
men in the District, fully as honest as he was,
or any in the convention, the folly of their the
cries. He said he had tried 10 the past to do his
duty to his constituents He knew he bad
failed sometimes He pledged himself to do
what he could :, if elected, in the future for bis
people, and tn anked them again aud again for
this new proof Of their confidence.
mass meeting was held in the afternoon,
over which Hon. S. L. Miliken of Belfast
presided, who presented In his usual eloquent
m amer, ard in terms and words that only be,
it scenes to me, can use with perfect effect on
such occasions, the speaker, Senator Blaine,
who in his forcible way presented the financial
problem to the great concOurse and held their
attention for an hour and quarter. The
speech was as full of honest truths as an egg
is full of meat, and his remarks held every
mans attention in marked degree.
Senator Blaine was followed by Mr.. Hale who
for the sixth time had to thank his people for
| their confidence in him.
There were gathered 10 the hall $50 as fine
| looking, sensible men as ever gathered In a
convention in this or any other state. All the
standing room was densely packed, and the
| galleries filled, leaving no spare room. Shortly
after Mr. Hale commenced his speech one Of
Betasrs fair daughters, wife of one of her
prominent business men, sent to Mr. Hale a
very elegant bouquet of choice flowers. Mr..
Hale accepted 1T 10 his graceful way. Toe
| good old town of Belfast seemed to feel the
| presence OF so many people from other towns,
aHd each and every man met seemed to want
to do all he could to make the delegates COM
sent and gave some fine music The CONVEX
tion and mass meeting were notable successes in
all respects aud indicate thorough interest In
the election and entire unanimity of feeling
which is sure presage Of victory.

AN ALLAN STEA WER DAMAGED BY FIRE
A fire broke out on The steamship Moravian
about 5 o'clock on the morning of July 29th,
during a fearful storm. The steerage passen-
gers were terribly alarmed, but communication
with the cabin was prevented and the passen-
gers there slept through it unconscious of the
peril. One hundred were on board. AFTER tne
greatest exertion the fire was subdaed, but not
until one-third of the cargo was thrown over
board and the remainder SO deluged with water
that it is seriously damaged. The vessel ar
rived in Quebec with six feet of water in the
hold. The loss is estimated at $4,000. An
investigation is going on.
