MORE FROM THE EYE.-Take horse
hair and double it, leaving a loop. If
he mote can be seen, lay the loop over
il, close the eye, and the mote will
some out as the hair Is withdrawn. If
the irritatiRg object cannot be seen,
raise the lid of the eye and roll the
ball around few times; draw out the
bair; the substance which caused so
much pain will be sure to come with it.
This method is practiced byax-makers
and other workers in steel.
KEEPING BUTTER FREsH.-The
best way to keep butter is to exclude
the air from 1t and keep it in q cool,
sweet place; but the first is the most
| important. Ii the butter is in a pail.
tub or jar, cover il one or two inches
with the strongest brine made from
the best Onondaga butter salt. Re
member, it will moi do to simply cover
it with salt; the air will pass through
the salt, but not through the brine. II
the package has a tight-fitting cover,
so much the better. The best butter,
Exposed to the air, will not keep per-
feet twenty-four hours. Butter for the
family should be kept constantly under
brine.
To MAKE CoFFEE.-Make q small
bag of very coarse muslin (old table
linen or toweling is the best for this
purpose, and finish at the top with q
draw-string; place the coffee in it and
draw tightly. There must be.plenty of
room allowed for 1t to swell; pour boil
ing water over it in sufficient quantity

about ten minutes none need be added.
After use do not allow the bag to re-
main soiled for any length OF time, but
rinse it free Of grounds and hang 1t up
to dry. 1t will be found convenient to
have several made up on hand, espec-
tally if they are old linen, as they are
apt to break into holes suddenly and
become useless.

DANIEL f. DAVIS AS A SOL
.... DER.
The Slander Against Him Refuted by
one who was with Him In the Army.

To the Editor Of the Kenne5ec Journal:
1t is one Of the evils of our political ma
chinery that no man, however pure his private
character, however noble his conduct in all
his relations with his fellow men; and, how
ever upright and true his whole life and con-
versation, if he consents to enter the field as
candidate for any important Office, he must
submit to be brought before the pnbic as
criminal, condemned in advance. lie must
become the subject of unjust criticism; have
his best conduct misinterpreted, and even in
some cases suffer the injuries resulting from
widely disseminated mistatements of facts.
Such methods of party management are I'M
worthy of our day, and the men who practice
them are doing an injury to public morals
which is incalculable, and possibly as much
to their own cause. Many of the men of af.
fairs Of ten or twenty years hence arc now in
the formative tate,-their minds open to re-
ceive whatever impressions we produce, and
almost certain to retain through life strong
traces of whatever truth or error they are fed
upon now. How much might have been
spared us during the past twenty years Of our
history, if only the truth concerning princi-
pies and candidates had been printed in the
preceding twenty! No man of patriotic SEN
tic sentiments and high principles will desire
to perpetuate this state of affairs. Men of
business who wish to confne themselves there
to and to have such government that all may
prosper; the humblest laborer or mechanic
who desires the sweat of his honest brow to
return him its full value in sustenance and
education for his children; the scholar who
reads the history of the race and forecasts its
future thereby, and all who with patriotic de-
sire would see the wonderful resources Of this
nation in all that contribute TO its greatness,
fully developed, are interested to the utmost
that the standards of political and social
morality should be advanced. We cannot
foresee what events may be in store for this
people, but in the recent past we have wit

berment of this nation. Europe is to-day a

extent and varied interests Of our own coun-
try, under popular government, leaves many
doors yet ajar for disGord to enter.

Deyine was stuck, and Mr.. Jennis, a green

that Dc,ine should figure it out and send il
to Smith. Mr. Thing said, Il have been
greenbacker ever since 1851, and never felt
better than when he was coming
home from Augusta during the war;. where
he had been and sold a hog and a small box
of butter for SOB. He forgot to tell US that
he could take II hog and the same amount of
butter to-day. and sell il and get more flour,
and more dry goods, and in fact, more of
any Kind of goods with the money, than he
could with his SOB. One gentleman claimed
that the grcenback platform was the hardest

The Answers TO the ISLANDERS on Mr..
Davis.

Answers to the despicable ISLANDERS up
on Mr.. Davis as soldier come thick and
fast from his comrades in the army. repel-
ling with Indignation the shameful attacks
upon him by the Maine Standard, and CIV
ing the most positive and reliable testimo-
ny as to the manly and soldierly manner
in which he performed his duties while in
the army.
We publish this morning communca-
ton from Capt. Lakin, now steward OF the
Insane Hospital in this city, which of it
self efiectually disposes of every SANDER
against Mr.. Davis. Mr.. Lakin knew
Davis from his boyhood, enlisted him into
the army, was with him in the service,
saw him in fight after fight, and never
found anything in him but undamted ceur-
age and answering fidelity to every trust
expected of true and gallant soldier.
Daniel +. Davis and his brother
Stephen were both captured by
the rebels in an engagement near
Sycamore Church, and were both
carried to Libby Prison, where Stephen
died literally of starvation. and where
Daniel F. remained four months only to
emerge reduced from man Of splendid
physique to mere skeleton. The fact of
his capture and imprisonment is matter of
official record.
In addition to the letter of Capt. Lakin,
we copy from the Bangor Wing and Cour-
Ter two letters BY other comrades. one the
Captain of the Company to which Davis
belonged, both Of which agree fully in
their statements with the letter of Captain
Lakin.
The testimony of these letters the Maine
Standard will not attempt to deny. 1t al
ready quails before the storm of indigna-
ton which its slanderous article upon Mr..
Davis has aroused. not only among his
comrades in the army, but among all de-
cent people of all parties who despise the
partizan meanncss and malignity displayed
in its assault upon an humble but gallant
soldier. ~ AZ -+-
The effect of the vile course of the Stan
dard win be to gain friends for Mr.. Davis.
There is sense of justice in the human
breast which revolts at the great wrong
done to the worthy young candidate of the
republican party for Governor, which will
make itself felt at the polls as rebuke to
the shameful course of the Standard in
this matter. There are thousands of dem
ocrats and gresnbackers who will de-
nounce the Standard and give their SYM
pathy TO the man so cruelty and falsely
assailed in its columns. Their better ma
ture will assert itself, and they will cry
shame SHANE !! JSHAME!!! to the SLAM
der of youthful bravery and patriotism as
exhibited by Daniel F. Davis while faith
fully serving his country as private sol
dierin the days that tried mems souls.

PIrTsFIELD, July Sd, 1879.
Last evening | received letter from Il
prominent member of the republican party
stating that certain leading grecnbackers and
democrats of his section have been diligently
searching for facts as they say) to con
taminatc the excellent character of the Hon
Daniel F. Davis, and that their efforts in
that direction proving fruitless, they have
now turned their fail force of criticism upon
that gentlcmans ndr record, and say that
Mr.. Davis was detailed as n clerk in Wash
ington, that he never left that city for the
front. that h. never did any duty at all
Now, as Captain of the Company in which
Mr.. Davis served with honor, will just say
to those gentlemen of the grecnback and
democratic persuasion that all such assertions
as the above are UNANIMOUSLY false.
OF his war record, NJ. Davis may justly
and well be proud. A more valorous soldier,
a trucr patriot, n more earnest fighter and
lurcr man never left the hills of Maine.
In the battles about Petersburg | never
saw any man show greater bravery than that
displayed by Daniel +. Davis. He seemed
endowed with the loftiest courage, and the
most perfect self-possesson; he had besides
that self-control and consideration for others,
that fitted him for higher position than he
occupied and would at that time accept
lie was always cool, very quick of perccp-
ton, steady of purpose, and Thoroughly reia-
Bile at all times. Those who witnessed his
valor will remember him as one of the truest
patriots who unshcathed a sword or carbinc
in defence of his country's honor, and when
the tumult of the fight was over, and the boys
were ut their fun, Mr. Davis might almost
always be found book in hand, porting over
his studies. He there displayed natural en-
dowments of high order, and his diligence
and perseverance gave promise of brilliant
future, which have no doubt awaits him.

which he can never extricate himself. IIav-

wish to say, that many soldier stricken with

A dozen soldiers are about me as pen this,

believe any man who served as a soldier
wrote the cursed article, but that it was in
vented by Pillsbury himself If, however, a
a soldier did write it, we venture to predict
he was a sneak and coward.
However, we prefer knap-sack clubs but
if Pillsbury & Co. prefer to call them diar
rhpa clubs, why we ought MOTTO object, for
it is only a matter of taste among men, and
they generally adopt name congenial to
