CITY improvements.

Several of the committees of the City
Government were in session last evening The
Committee on Public Buildings decided to in
troduce an order at the next monthly meeting
of the City Council recommending that the
engine room of ward two be made the polling
place in that ward and the present ward room.
be divided off into tenement rooms for the
driver and family. This is especially necessi-
tated since the great Democratic ward caucus
was held in the room in the spring causing the
floor timbers to settle. 1t would be a good
idea if all the polling places in the city could
be placed ON the first floor. The many voters,
who are now deprived of the right of suffrage
by disease and infrmity by climbing stairs,
would be able to deposit their ballots
The Committee ON Fire Department have
decided to follow the suggestion Of the Chief
Engineer in regard to putting circular heaters
into two of the steam fire engine houses, one

town, so that both steamers can start for fire
with steam all up.
A public urinal has been placed on the first
floor of Old City Hall, the only one in the city
Now let the gentlemen who have charge OF
this matter make similar arrangements in
every ward of the city-for women as well as
men-and they will have accomplished most
necessary and praiseworthy act.

every chair and key in that emporium was
covered by statesman. Glands that the rod

of course; indeed no other creed could flourish
in the soil that has remained so long ON that
floor. "Zib" was reading in trumpet tones
from the Chronicle. Occidental world" was
a term that lib met with every few lines; he
liked that word occidental and he smacked his
lips after uttering it in a real relishing sort of
way.
"Look here,'' said young scoffer, 'Tll bet
there is not man in this company that can
tell what Occidental world means" cold
ness wash thrown over the meeting for mo-
ment but lib finally said it meant the whole
civilized world, and the reading went on.
The article dealt largely with "fggers." 1t
purported to tell the amount of specie which
some Of the foreign governments keep on
hand as basis, and lib read off the figures.
Sam -, the store-keeper's brother, was in

THE STEAMER CAMBRIDGE.
A Board Bearing Her Name Found at Sea.

Last evening Mr.. Merrill, of the yacht Gull
of Freeport, called at this Office and stated he
was requested by the captain of the schooner
William Tell to report on arrival at Portland
that the William Tell picked up at sea, off
Wood Island yesterday board bearing the
name of the steamer Cambridge. The board
was such one as is usually carried either on
the pilot house, OF starboard or port bows of
steamers. Whether the Cambridge had met
with collision, or disaster of any kind, he did
not know.
The Boston Journal of last evening an
nounces the arrival at that port yesterday OF
the Cambridge, and probably she did arrive
there. 1t is, however, known to marine re-
porters that occasionally the arrival of vessels
that ply regularly between ports is announced
whether the reporter knows the vessel has
actually arrived or not He takes this matter
for granted. Such has been the case in several
instances in our recollection in Boston and
New York. 1t is to be hoped III this case the
paper is correct.
The Cambridge is a fine vessel, plying be-
tween Bangor and Boston, belonging to the
Sanford Line She is ,237 tons burden and
300 horsepower

Turner's Island.
Earnest Speech by A. G. Bradstreet Esq

Last evening A. G. Bradstreet, ESQ., adj
dressed the citizens of Cape Elizabeth at the
Turner's Island school house. which was well
filed, many of the prominent Republicans of
the Cape, amonmg them T. H. Hartford, John
Watson, j. III. Hartford, d. Spalding, Cyrus
Cole, George F. Henley, E. c. Reynolds, were
present.
J. S. Pickett Esq, presided, and introduced
Mr.. Bradstreet who proceeded to deliver an
earnest speech which was listened to with the
closest attention Mr.. Bradstreet met and
considered the usual greenback arguments,
showing clearly that the Republican party is
and has been the party of the people and of
the poor man. and showed that it is the poor
man and the business man who feel the evil of
a fluctuating and irredeemable currency, The
poor man because that all he has to sell is his
labor, and it is his duty to get the highest
market price for his days work, and the fact
is well and clearly established that the selling
price of labor is the first to fall with hard, and
the last to rise with, good times, and the bus-
ness man because he wants dollar to buy
with, that he knows will be the same when
he comes to sell again.
The question of our bonded Indebtedness
was discussed in a mastery manner. The ex-
State was to prevent them from being taxed
out of existence and to have allowed the State
to have taxed the securities of the general
government would have been to have given the
doctrine of state rights new lease OF life, and
Mr.. Bradstreet made the point that there is
but one thing in which the Democrats and the
Greenbackers agree, and that is in insisting on
the right of the state to nullify an act of Con-
gress If the Greenback theory is correct then
they should stand at the head OF living inven-
tors In all ages men have been laboring to
create value, which it seems can be created
with little paper and printing press. No
wonder that the Greenbacker feelsithat the Re
publican party has wronged them. Ii they are
correct in their theory then every time the
government prints one dollar bill which
might have been just as we'll stamped SlOO, 1t
cheated the people, that is the Greenbackers,
out of $780, The Democrats of this state have
united with the Greenbackers in order to OBJ
tain power, and by so doing it has given the
lie to the platform of three years ago. The
hard money Democrats are like the minister
who placed such implicit faith in the hymns, OF
DR. Watts that he regarded it as being species
of sin to select one before another. His boy
cut out "Old Grimes and pasted it in his
fathers hymn book, and the old man opened
as a matter of course, to the inserted hymn.
and read part of the first verse, and stopped
and said, Brethren and sisters, ican't bring
myself to read this hymn, but DR.. Watts
wrote it and it's all right, and by the Grace OF
God I will sing it if I can't read it," and the
question is, will the hard money Democrats
vote a ticket that they can't indorse.
MI. Bradstreet closed with an eloquent re-
view of the history of the Republican party, to
the support of which he urged all to come up.

WHAT produces cholera-morbus, cramps and

Of temperature. 1t is useless to deny the thirs-
ty cooling.draught of ice water,to prevent the
the consumption of fruit, whether proper or
improper, or to limit the traveller to his native

this we are happy to say is to be found in SAN
